TO REJECT
PUPILSURGED
BY CITIZENS
BY A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

Urging legislation at the next
session of Congress to deny the
use of District public schools to
out-of-town students, or to appro-
pirate sufficient Federal funds to
take care of such students, the
Rock Creek Citizens Association
met last night in the Ebenezer
Church, Twenty-seventh and o
Streets Northwest.
The legislative action was pro-
posed by President c. Herbert
Marshall, who said overcrowded
conditions are especially severe
among colored schools Of George
town.
The association pledged its sup
port to a suggestion made by
Major Ernest w. Brown, Superin-
tendent Of police, for a proposed
curfew law as a means of helping
eliminate juvenile delinquency.
Because the Capital Transit
Company has refused a request
from the association to build
a loading platform at Twenty
eighth st. and Pennsylvania
Ave. N. W., the association de-
cided to go directly to the Pub
lie Utilities Commission with its
request.
Miss Cecil Patrick, a second
grade teacher at the Phillips
Wormley school, told of plans
being made to revive the old
history of Georgetown to be used
for educational purpose.
Mrs. Gladys Reed, another
teacher, urged the association to
lend support to organizing a
police boys club.
Mrs. Sadie S. Murphy, Of the
community chest, asked support
for the annual drive for funds

As Scouty bucked and kicked around, wee Dotty held on safe and sound. The animals seemed thrilled and so did all the Tiny-mites.
 To Dotty, Scouty loudly said, T will not throw you OCT my head. Don't worry, cause you've surely been in lots of much worse plights." "
 Then Duncy shouted, Let me ride. That sort of stuff I've never tried" "Ah, here's my chance" thought Scouty, ito give all the beasts a thrill"
 He let poor Duncy climb aboard, and then he kicked and loudly roared, Here's where I lose you" Tn a moment, Duncy took a spill.
 The beasts thought twas funny sight, and Goldy said, "It served you right. You had a hunch that you'd show off, but Scouty spoiled your plan.
 Now, I'd suggest two other tots join with you. There are lots and lots of funny tricks that three can do. Just do the best you can"
 "Okay," said Duncy. ": am game"

Then up to him two Tinies came. One said, "Slim's rolling out three tubs. Wen turn them upside down.
 "In shows they're used for lots of stunts, and we can try our luck just once." "All right, but play no tricks on me-" snapped Duncy, with 2 frown.
 Wee Windy fixed his tub and then the others did the same thing when he shouted. Do as do. All the beasts will think 1t grand.
 "It should not be real hard, at all. only hope l do not fall" His feet flew into air, then, as he stood upon one hand.
 "If he can do 1t, so can we. Come on, now, Duncy! They will sec" said Coppy. Then he tried the stunt, but toppled to the ground.
 He kept right at 1t. Duncy, too. The next thing that the audience knew, both of the lads succeeded. Clipping came from all around. Copyright. 1936, NEA Service, Incl

BENEFITS ARE
APPRECIATED
Schubert Concert and KiwaniS
Dance Help to Build Tennis
Courts Here

While not huge financial sue
cess, the benefit performance put
on by the Schubert club as XII
wants benefit last Thursday night,
drew a large measure of favorable
comment. Especially favorable were
the reports of the work of Mrs.
Homer Siegfried, who arranged the
performance and directed the sing
ers. The show had excellent CONT
nuity and the three acts were clev-
erly arranged to suit the capacity
of the singers.
The benefit dance at the High
lands last night, in which every
thing was donated, hall, music, tick
cts, etc., entertained a comparative
ly small crowd, although there were
many tickets sold to people who did
not attend the function.
No financial report has been made
of either affair, but a substantial
amount will be turned over to the
construction fund for the tennis
court at the new school house. The
two courts for the park are already
under construction by the PWA'
Work of grading the road around
the park being handled by the PWA
is also going forward, thenew bridge
across the canal having been COM
pleted this week.

business, according to statement
made to the chamber of commerce

manager for the Consolidated
Freight Lines, who was a special
speaker at the luncheon.
Mr.. Stevens stated that in all its
branches, the trucking business had
developed into one of the largest
in the United States. His own line,
he stated, essentially a Northwest
concern, now operated in eight
states, and had transcontinental
connections from the coast as far
east as Chicago. to which point five
day service Is being given.
Mr.. Stevens stated that while
only sixteen percent Of the car reg
istrations in the state of Washing
ton were commercial vehicles, they
paid As percent of the automotive
taxes directly and indirectly. He
said that his company alone en-
ployed eight hundred people and
that the trucking maxim was that
a ton of freight paid a days wage.
Mr.. Stevens was introduced by
r. K. Birum, local representative

Red Poppies by Million
to Bloom on May 23

The month of May is considered
one month of remembrance to the
living and those who have passed
into the land of eternal rest. On
millions of coats and dresses thru
out America the little red paper
poppy will bloom on May 23rd.
Why do we have Poppy Day?
First, we wear a poppy once a
year as memorial for the men
who died on the poppy-studded
fields-"Over There"
Second, we wear a poppy because
the dimes, quarters and dollars de-
rived from the sale of this little
flower creates the fund which pro-
vides aid to disabled men and their
dependent and community work.
Mrs. Ben Van Patten is the Poppy
chairman.

BERRY CROP rs
BEST In YEARS
Crop and Marketing Situation
Are Almost Perfect this
Year

For the first time in years, the
berry market is perfect, according
to I. S. Gleason, local dealer. If
there were ten times as large a crop
as there actually is, there would be
no difficulty in disposing Of the
crop this year, he says, and the
prospects for another couple of
weeks Of good marketing is In
sight.
The only flaw in sight in the sit
uation, outside the lack Of tonnage
is the difficulty in finding pickers
enough to handle the comparatively
large crop now being harvested. An
other hundred could get to work
every day, and outside help is be-
ing drafted where possible to har-
vest the crop.
The patches are coming along
fine, the vines are heavily laden
and the tonnage per acre will ex-
coed anything in recent years, is the
report.
Every day. Mr. Gleason reports, In
quiries are coming in How many
berries can you ship todayp" TOO
bad, mister, but everything is sold
for today. Try us next week, Mar
ket is ready, buyers are eager. crop
is good, weather is perfect-but still
not enough berries to fill the de-
mand.
Carlot shipments are expected the
last Of the week.

UTILITY DIST.
SEEKS TO BUY
p. p. & L. In co.
hackers Claim a Saving of
$4,000 a Year Over the
Present Rates; Co. Pays
$4,000 a Year Taxes

At the regular monthly meeting
of the directors of the Benton
County Public Utility district held
Tuesday, plans were discussed for
the proposed increase in the power
plant at Prosser of an additional
1000 XIV. Sufficient water flows
down that canal for an added unit,
Manager John Whitehead stated,
and the board proposed to install
this unit at a cost of $4,000 If the
government will grant the district
the right to the water now being
wasted.
Negotiations have been under way
some time for the purchase by the
district of the holdings of the p. p.
e. L. company in Benton county.
Kenneth Harlan of Tacoma, NUM-
cipal consultant who has been asso-
ciated with Senator Homer T..
Bone for years, has been employed
by the district and is making a SUR
vey Of the physical valuation of the
power company's holdings in this
county. The company has not set
any price on its property and ap-
parently does not desire to sell. but
the utility district, 1t appears, has
the power and may decide to force
a sale through condemnation pro-
ceedings If necessary. This COM
pany received from the sale of cleo
trio energy to its Benton county
customers in 1885 a total of $751;
595.86, according to q report made
by Manager Whitehead. The report
states that the purchase Of this sys-
tenn would not increase taxes, that
1t would pay the state and county
approximately as much as the pri-
vately owned company pays and
through IS percent rate reduction
would save the people of the coun-
ty $4,000 a year.
That the power companies of this
state are facing the fight of their
lives is generally accepted by those
who are watching developments in
this state. This fall % counties in
this state are going to vote on the
all-county utility power district
question, similar to that in Benton
county" said MIR. Harlan.
B. e. McGregor, attorney for the
district, stated that these meetings
of the utility board are open to the
public and any one interested is
privileged to attend the meetings.
