Recently it was inaugurated in Hartford and New Haven. St. Margaret's is the only church in this city where this mo- vena will be held.
 A iridium starting Wednesday night of this week at 7:30, contin- uing Thursday and ending Friday night will precede the opening of the novena proper, which will start this Friday night and continue every Friday night thereafter.

quate, uncomfortable wooden port
able" will be removed in about three
years to make way for improvements
to the AnacoStia- Fort Dupont Park,
1t was reported, and members point
ed out it will be necessary to obtain

chase the site next year and to OBJ
tain an appropriation for the
school in the 194l budget to build
the school barely before the port
ables are to be raZed.
Rapid development of the COM
munity is causing land values to rise,
Thomas C. Bethel, delegate to the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
said in urging that site be bought

ticability of establishing municipality

velop the Anacostia River parkway

"Home safety suffers through
lack of publicity" Miss Fisher con-
cludes. Home accidents are seldom
spectacular. They are common
place. They happen every day Con-
sequently. they receive scant space
in the newspapers. But activities in
behalf of home safety and club &C
tivities are news. and you can help
the cause of home safety by. letting
the press know how definitely part
of your activities home safety Is.
Dramatize your club program and
seek publicity for it through the
newspapers. P.T.A. Bulletins and
other mediums at your disposal.
In commenting upon the home
safety campaign. Mrs. Chester Ed
wards, chairman of the Home Safety
Division of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, says. "Where the
Importance of home safety is al
ready recognized. the General Fed
Grafton hopes to be permitted to
assist the movement by active par
ticipation of members of affiliated
clubs. In communities where home
safety lags. perhaps our efforts will
aid in establishing safety as vital
factor in the welfare of the family
and the community"
Nogales international., 1939-08-12

Miss Fisher, in recent address
before the General Federation of
Women's Clubs in San Francisco,
suggested that each club set aside
week during the next club year to
inaugurate campaign against
home accidents. She suggested that
every individual member make a list
of hazardous conditions existing in
her own home and try to correct
them. Such an effort on the part of
clubs would arouse non-members in
the interests of this grave situation.
"Home safety begins at home,' %
Miss Fisher declares. "Some people
may feel that because their homes
are comfortable, well-run, modernly
equipped and well-kept, they are i'm
mune. Falls in bathtubs contribute
no little share to accidents in the
home and families in homes of good
environment usually take the most
baths. Home safety begins at home
in all kinds of homes and homes of
good environment should afford an
example to those less fortunately
situated.
ANY hope of immediate benefit
from safety education lies, of course.
in educating grownups. But for the
long pull. we must see to it that our
children are taught to understand
and practice the principles of home
safety. If home safety is not being
taught in your schools. persuade
school officials to incorporate it in
he curriculum. If it is being taught,
ind out how we'll and suggest ways
