LONDON, Sept 3. tUP)-Eu-
rope is convinced that the United
States has morally allied herself
with Great Britain and France TO
stop Adolph Hitler.
The British, in particular, be-
ieve there is a vague but discern
ible peace axis" stretching from
Washington to London to Paris.
They do not believe that the Unit
ed States has made any definite
commitments, but are convinced
the axis is effective for the pur-
pose of bringing moral pressure
on Germany to avoid aggression
against Czechoslovakia Emphasis
on the word moral does not dis
count in their minds the effective
ness of the peace axis.
These developments have nour..
ished a revised European view OF
Americas position: :,

declaring that the United States

Canada were attacked.

These declarations, it is empha-

as anything but the development
of carefully planned policy, IN
which the speeches of Washing

WPA AND PROPERTY OWNERS
MAY PROCEED ON SIDEWALK
CONSTRUCTION UNDER PLANS
Cooperative Arrangements
for Projects Completed
by Commission

Through cooperation of tn"
WPA and HendersOuT:!!" proper
" owners. the city Of Henderson
Vile is now ready to proceed with
the construction Of paved side
walks in the city. Formal approx
al of the plan was given by the
city commissioners in session last
night.
At the same time, commission
crS insisted that the city would
not be responsible for any eXpen-
diture of funds in connection with
the project. and that property
owners must put up their share Of
the funds before work is started.
Under terms Of the plan, the
WPA will supply labor for the
projects and cement. Sand and
stone for the construction must be
supplied by property owners, and
work must be done on at least a
CITY block.
The cost Of sand and stone has

cents per cubic yard, it was stat
ed. Thus the cost Of sidewalks to
individual property owners will be
very small.
In the event any professional
labor is needed. such as surveying
property lines preliminary to lay
ing cement. this cost must be
borne by the individual property
owner.
Several projects have already
been worked out with property
owners along this line, and the
first construction will be done on
Seventh avenue east between Ash
and Cherry streets and on ruth
avenue west for distance OF
about IS feet from Justice street.
The city also plans to grade
sand sidewalk on Sixth avenue
west from the end Of the present
sidewalk to Oakland cemetery.
Full information as to details
Of these projects may be obtained

CITY SCHOOLS, LAYING HEAVY
STRESS ON SAFETY, EXTEND
PATROLS TO ALL SCHOOLS

More emphasis is being placed
upon safety than at any other
previous time by the city schools
this year, and safety patrols, now
in operation to assist children
across streets at the Fourth ave
nue. building will be extended to
include other school buildings.
Through the cooperation Of the
city police department and All IN
tenSive program of safety educa-
ton, it is felt that much good has
been accomplished in preventing
serious accidents.
Erection of school zone signs
and patrolling of streets during
the hours in which children are
travelling to and from school has
been effected by police officers.
The city schools have been car
rying on a program of education
in grammar and high schools. This
program is carried on through in
Struction by teachers, reading ma
terial, and in other ways.
The cooperation Of school pa
irons is requested in picking up
children after school hours. Peo-
pie who reside in northwest Hen
Jacksonville are asked to pick up
children on Oakland street, those
living in Laurel Park and LenoX
Park to pick uD children on 9Th
avenue above the auditorium en-
trance. This permits scattering OF
traffic and reduction of hazards.
Children who ride bicycles to
school should place them back OF
the building. The rear entrance
has been closed to other traffic as
a safeguard for cyclists.

Pending final action on the is
sue involved. the commissioners
will not levy taxes for this in

The resolution adopted last

Several matters of business
were considered by the board last

agent, appeared representing the
Mutual Curb market and asked
that the commissioners take ac-
ton TO protect members of the
market from indiscriminate sell

on King street.
THE majority of these people
are retailing Out-of-State produce
