A WORTHWHILE VACATION
The children Of Greenbelt rejoiced
when the date Of the Easter Vacation
announced. Six days, April 18th to
April 10th, with school work. Mothers
did not feel SO happy. Teams Of horses
blowing lawns, buildings covered with
heavy scaffolding, resented many I'M
pleasant pictures to the busy mother,
when she thought Of her child wi tn six or
seven extra hours time each day.
What q happy surprise was in store
for these mothers! Thanks to our school
teachers, who planned with the children,
mothers too shared the vacation. Mary
and John budgeted their time allowing
time for home duties, reading, recrea-
tion, and rest. Children asked to care
for tte1r bedrooms and 60 on errends.
They worked rapidly and we'll in order to
spend time in the library.
The school library was open for the use
Of the primary grades every morning.
Two mothers were in charge. In the
afternoons with the ASST stance Of two
mothers, the children Of the upper grades
enjoyed the books.
We, parents Of Greenbelt, are CRATE

budgeting vacation time, and to Mr..

SHARE OF RESPONSE BILITY FOR DEVELOPMENT
Of the community. We may be asked what
Developments can q citizens' association
secure; in answer we could state,
better Fire Dept, Police protection,
street paving, lighting, traffic regu-
lations, education, health and recreation.
The citizens' associations are
partisan, and non-sectarian. They
usually meet g month, their dues
nominal and their invitation to mem
bership should be universal. With the
advantage Of democratic appeal they
should work for the civic welfare Of
their community with untiring effort.
Fortunately residents Of Greenbe1t
we have better facilities for civic
welfare than most communities. But as
time passes and the town grows will
find it necessary to increase these
facilities to acc ommodate the populace.
In closing this symposium let's
remember. Rome made great and
wonderful through the devotion Of Romans
to ROme's welfare. Let Greenbe1t be
made greater and more wonderful through
devotion Of Greenbeltians to Greenbelt's
Welfare.

appointed officer, trained in Juvenile
Delinquency and psychiatry to aid in

The Fairgrounds will solve this pro-
blem to certain degree, but even then
occasi ons will arise that will make it
necessary to investigate home conditions,
confer with parents, and perhaps take
corrective action in the interest o9the
community. Perhaps some system could
be worked out in connection wit the
recreational staff, which I understand
is to be trained along these lines.

dead, 81, .Smanently injured and
100000 ten by injured. The cost,
in money, was estimated at SO, 700, 000,-
OG0.
How did these 100000 persons lose
their lives in the past year? The answer
includes 1870" traffic deaths, $4,000
burned to death, 1000 victims of railroad
accidents, 5000 from firearms, 1000 from
gas poison, 1000 from other poisons and
the others met death in miscellaneous
ways
Encouraging is the reduction in the
number of children under the age of fiji
teen years of age who met death acct
IDENTIFY, but the total of Is 900 shows that
there is need for more child safety educa-
ton.
In the home, where people are sup
posed to be safe, $4,000 persons met ae-
cidental death in 1887, a sharp reduction
under 1886 figures, but explained largely
by fewer casualties from excessive heat.
By contrast only fifty persons were killed
in accidents involving airplanes on sched-
uled domestic flight.
1t is easier to understand the enor-
nous toll of accidents when one reflects
that 1000 persons lose their lives every
week, nearly 300 every day. More than
1000 are permanently Injured every week
and 10000 suffer temporary injuries every
day. This latter figure is more than
thousand an hour, which is an impressive
total any way one wants to look at it.
There is little use in advising the
reader be careful Even the figures given
above have little tendency to promote care
among individuals who prefer to think
that what happens to careless people does
not concern them. They overlook one I'M
portant factor, that those who died in
1897 and those who were injured had the
same idea-they felt sure that they were
being CAREFUL
