Many New Recruits
In Civic Groups.

Many New Recruits
In Civic Groups.
Reports of meetings Of neigh
borhood citizens associations indi-
cate that some are adding many
new recruits to their ranks. This
Is indicative of q belief in these
neighborhoods that there is a need
for the association and that it is on
the job. It also indicates that some
systematic salesmanship has been
under way in these localities.
This is the time of the year
when it has been found best to
solicit members for these associa-
tions. Where well laid plans are
followed and the territory properly
covered satisfactory results usually
follow. In these house-to-house
canvasses many bits Of valuable
information are picked up by the
workers. Many an old crouch
against the association or some in
dividual is disclosed, which explains
the aloofness Of some neighbors who
would be invaluable as members.
These visits to the neighbors in
crease the neighborhood acquaint-
ance, develop overlooked problems
and are worth far more to an asso-
citation than the mere adding of new
members and getting old ones to
return.
The great size attained by some
Of these citizen bodies Is truly
astounding to the uniformed of our
citizens. Two of these associations
have each considerably more than a
thousand paid up members. The
Petworth Citizens Association long
the largest. had to give away to
the Chevy Chase Citizens Associa-
ton a couple of years ago and the
latter has continued in the lead.
At the last meeting OF the Pet
worth Association, held last Tues
day, the paid up membership was
reported as 1891 after the addition
OF eight new members. The Chevy
Chase Association, at its meeting
on Wednesday evening, added $50
new members and reported a pres
ent enrolment of 1923.
Recently American University
Citizens Association at one meet
ing added II new members. The
Park View Citizens Association re-
ported at its last meeting 43 new
members, all obtained by one MEM

BY JESSE C. SUTER.

The very air has been filled with
civic problems and civic doings
these balmy Indian summer days.
The Red Cross annual roll call went
to a creditable and record-breaking
finish. The Public Utilities Com
mission had hearing of the Auto
Rail Co. petition to invade the Dis
trict and promises a decision at a
later date.
The Commissioners, their Citi-
zens' Advisory Tax Committee and
the experts of the Joint Committee
on Internal Revenue Taxation Of
the Congress had a conference. in
executive session, and announced
no conclusion. Capt. Rhoda Milli-
ken Of the Women's Police Bureau
has recommended a clinic for in
ebriates and it is reported that that
always homeless bureau of the Po-
lice Department is doomed to get
no new home.
The contract has been let for
the new building for the Munich
pal Court and work will probably
be started before the end of the
week This building will balance
the Police Court Building on Ju-
dietary Square. The architects and
engineers in the Office of the mu-
nicipal architect are working over
time on the Juvenile Court Build
ing and the other structures in the
P. w. A. program which must be
started in January.
Announcement was made during
the last week that rather satisfac-
tory arrangements have been made
for the w. P. A. to finance the
teaching in the homes of about 400
children who are unable, for vari-
GUS causes, to attend schools While
1t is understood that this will be
only temporary provision for the
handling of this problem, it is ex-
pected to produce valuable informa-
tion as to the cost of permanently
doing this work by the District.
The Community Chest, through
its various committees, has its cam
paign plans well advanced. This is
the next big community job, in
which every citizen should take
pride in having a part.
Plans are complete for the 1888
community Halloween celebration.
This annual event has grown in
Importance and interest and has
probably done something toward
suppressing rowdyism and vandal-
ism on the night of the ghosts and
the COLLINS. The problem has by
no means been solved, for most of
the old tricks of disfguring automo-
biles, destroying private property
and other annoyances continue to
an alarming extent. Some Of these
pranks, usually linked with october
81, have this year had an early
start. In some neighborhoods gar
bage cans and other property have
been disappearing for the last few
weeks.
But with all of these tangled
problems unsolved the District can
rejoice, if one is so moved, in the
fact that at last it has a flag all
itssown.

CITIZENS SEEKING
VANDALISM BAN
Nine Associations Slated
to Hold Meetings in
Coming Week.

With Halloween only a week of
citizens associations are taking steps
to insure against vandalism in the
respective communities that night.
Foremost of these is the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association, which has
planned free movies in two of the
neighboring schools, as well as the
personal attendance of representative
of the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tion and Arch Mcdonald, local sports
announcer. This form of divertisse-
ment for the children is calculated
to keep them in tow and avoid to some
extent the damage inflicted upon the
community last year, where it was
reported that youngsters did $4,000
worth of damage to street lights alone,
Notwithstanding personal property
damage.
The Sixteenth Street Highlands As
sociation at its meeting last week
voted to cooperate in any way with
the Board of Trade and its plan for
a downtown street parade, also de-
signed to aid in keeping children
from running rampant.
Other groups meeting this week are
expected to cooperate in some respect
in curbing vandalism among children
in the communities that particular
