recommendations or not, and may make other changes not suggested by the police department.
 The police report recommends the establishment of 30 one-way streets, the elimination of all-day parking anywhere in the downtown area, elimination of parking entirely in some areas where limited park ing is now allowed, numerous new stop-signs, and the shortening of parking limits on a number of streets.
 Only with the establishment of the 30 one-way streets, police be- lieve, can a start be taken in solv- ing the problem of present traffic and parking congestion. At present there are only a handful of one- way streets in the city.
 Among the streets on which the police recommend one-way traffic are Jefferson street, Judd street, Brown street, Water street, Mitchell avenue, Gilbert street, French street, Ann street, Phoenix avenue and West Grove street.
 Survey Conducted
 The proposed changes were recom- mended after a survey in charge of Sergt. Patrick Foley, assigned to that job by Supt. Roach. After studying Sergt. Foley's report, Supt. Roach and Deputy Superintendent Daniel J. Carson recommended other changes.
 The report is now ready in its final form, and awaits only action by the Board of Police Commission CTS.

For Our Children

How many of "our children" know
the Ten Commandments and where
they may be found? How many of us
through out contact with "Our Chill
dren" know what they really thing
of the world of today and its prob
lens
Someone has said "The proper
study of mankind is man" since the
child is father of the man-why aren't
''our children" the proper study of
mankind?
Are you interested in thi study I?
1t is very thrilling, even more thrill
ing than the best movie you ever saw,
because it is real.
Are you interested enough to try
to find out the "isms" being taught in
various ways? This subject is most
serious and challenges those who are
supposed to set the pace for the
future.
