pIores Lack of Clubs
for Children.

rating Randle Highlands from chill
drens clubs located down town, the
Randle Highlands Citizens Association
at a meeting in the Benjamin Orr

port to movement to create new
troops of Boy and Girl Scouts in that
area
This action followed the hearing Of
an address by Florence Wallace. prin-
cipal of the Orr and Randle High
lands schools. who pointed out the
necessity for character education OF
children. The group decided to go
hand in hand with any plans for the
promotion of clubs or troops for the
young people of the Randle High
lands area.
A member of the group pointed out
how, at the graduation exercises at the
Randle Highlands Elementary School
yesterday morning, it was necessary for
the program to be held in the hall OF
the building because of lack Of space
for an assembled crowd The asso-
citation voted to request the District
Commissioners to have an auditorium
erected for the Randle Highlands
School, and incorporated in the reso-
luton a request that the parent
teacher association lend its support to
the measure.
The group, which was to hear a re-
port on the progress made to restore
the name LEnfant to what is now
called Twining Square, did not hear
the report because no definite state
ment has come from the Commission
ers and the Park and Planning Com
mission. Adelbert w. Lee said.
H. A. Elmore. chairman OF the Laws
and legislation Committee introduced
a resolution indorsing the old age pen
sion bill which was unanimously adopt
ed by the members.

citation. In congratulating the COM
mittee Mr. Lee pointed out that any
organization of this kind either grows
or dies but never stands still" He
said since the present Membership
Committee had been installed it had
become necessary for the association
to buy a dozen new chairs and called
attention to the fact that there were
still members forced to stand because
we're present at last nights meeting.

to Guard Pupils.

workers on special patrol force. to be
organized as unit of the Metropolitan

protecting school children from traffic
dangers. was recommended to the

tion by its Fire and Police Committee

In accordance with the committees
recommendation, careful study" OF
the proposal will be made by the asso-
citation.
A. r, Sievers. chairman of the COM
nittee. submitted a detailed report OF
the system now used to safeguard school
children at dangerous intersections
through the use OF policemen and school
boy patrols.
The report stated the committee con-
siders there are still few unguarded
dangerous crossings near the schools IN
the associations territory and pointed
out that police on duty at three OF the
most hazardous intersections are subject
to call elsewhere in case Oh emergency.
Cost Estimates Low.
In recommending a city-wide special
patrol force. the committee said this
would keep all dangerous crossings
guarded during the three periods of the
school day when they are used by chill
dren Compensation of members of the
patrol would be small because of the
short time they would be on duty, the
report stated. Retired Government
workers and persons seeking part-time
employment could be enrolled in the
patrol. the committee suggested.

quested District authorities to establish

cation.

tention by Washington Irving Cleve-
land, president of the Kensington

vent wholesalers or retailers from re-
batting State gasoline taxes, thus elm
mating the policy of selling gasoline at
