Launched as Junior
Council Is Formed
Thousands of Children
Expected to Be
Enlisted in Fight

Street accidents among children
were combatted last night at the
organizing meeting of the Junior

Department Auditorium which was

tee of the Junior Board of Com
merce, the council expects to enlist

The group, section by section, re-
sponded to the lead of M. O. Ell
bridge, assistant traffic director for
the District, in taking the pledge of
safety. They agreed to cross streets
at intersections with the green light,
never TO run from between parked
cars. not to play in streets, to ride
bicycles carefully and to set an ex-
ample for younger children by obey
ing the rules and to help them follow
these rules.
Linn C. Drake. local Boy Scout
executive, said accidents happen
when people are so anxious to have
their own way they don't care how
they get it. H. V. Schneider, safety

pared" is one of the best ways to
prevent accidents. Mrs. C. D. Lowe,

cluded the initial meeting of the

BY the Associated PresS,

by tne Associated FTeSk.
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland. July 5.
Lawson Little, first of the two
Americans to finish, put himself
deep in a hole in the British open
golf championship today when he
turned in first round score of 70,
nine strokes back of Max Faulkner
little known British player, who
showed the way to the early finishers
with a sub-par TO-
James Henry Busson, who served
as a pro in New Hampshire and
Florida in 1930-3l, hooked together
two 35s for 10 to tie Faulkner for
the lead.
Joining Faulkner and Busson at
70 was Dick Burton, twice a men,
ber of British Ryder Cup teams
Despite the rain Burton smashed
his way around the outgoing nine
in "a, 2 under par, and clipped an
other stroke from regulation figures
coming back He scored five brides,
but three -putted the 9th and 17th
green's.
Little, twice British amateur cham
pion, was out in 81, one over par, but
he was struggling all the time. He
three -putted the fourth. but picked
up stroke on the sixth when he
holed 15-footer. He also three
putted the eighth.
Coming home, he missed a 4-foor
putt on the 18th and at the 18th
took six when he cut his drive into
the "whins" and played a provisional
ball
Johnny Bulla of Chicago, only
other American remaining in the
tournament. trudged home sadly
with a 39-38-77. Big Johnny was
disconsolate as he slogged up the
18th fairWay after round in which
he had no less than eight fives.
His putting was sloppy and cost him
at least six strokes on the last nine
alone.
Bulla's putting was so bad that
when he holed out on the tenth, he
dropped his cap over the cup and
then peeked under 1t to see if the
ball was really there. Even on this
hold he missed the first putt after
driving the green with a terrific
wallop He took a birdie when he
might have had 2.
He got another birdie on the
twelfth and seemed out of the woods
for the time being when he holed the
putt. But he was nervous on the
thirteenth and fourteenth green's
and each cost him strokes.
Meanwhile, Alf Perry. 1885 cham
pion, Jimmy Fallon and w. H. Davies
went into a tie with Defending
Champion Reggie Whitcombe for
second place with Ills.
If Little was in trouble at the
18th, he ran into catastrophe at the
14th. Here his drive was badly bun
kered. He blasted out, but that was
all. He finally reached the green
in five and took two puts. !
The big American was bothered
by the huge gallery of 5000 which
crowded the greens so closely Little
several times had to ask the stew
ards for more room.
The low A for Fridays final SO
holes will be picked from the totals
of today's and tomorrow's rounds,
