Child Welfare
Fund Increase
Recommended
Citizens Committee
Request Draws
Warning by Bondy

A resolution asking the Bureau of
the Budget to add over a quarter of
million dollars to annual allot-
ments for the Districts Board Of
Public Welfare, "in order to bring
up to modern standards" its work
among the citys unfortunate chill
dren, was yesterday referred for ap-
proval by the Citizens Co-ordinat-
ing Committee for Public Child We'll
fare to % of its constituent organi-
cations.
Public Welfare Director Robert E.
Bondy warned the committee, how
ever, that 1t is likely to face opposi-
ton by civic leaders who insist the
District must keep within expected
revenues next year.
I'm looking forward within the
appropriation we now have for the
kind of centralization and unifica-
ton of services you advocate" he
told the committee, while express
ing agreement with certain other
phases of its program for expansion
of child welfare work. Among these
are a demand for a child-placing
unit and psychiatric and psycholog-
ical services.
Cites Other Needs.
Mr.. Bondy asserted other phases
of welfare work are now more ur-
gently pressing than aid for chill
dren, declaring that 5000 District
residents eligible for W. P. A. work
cannot be provided with employ
ment..
do you suppose that there could
be these thousands without hun
dreds of them in dire need?" he
asked. II am not making state
ment-I am just offering you this
question"
Mrs. Eugene Meyer, at whose
home the committee met, declared,
however, that Irightful conditions
exist for many of Washington's chill
dren. She urged organization of a
militant drive for fulfllment of child
welfare work on the lines of report
made by Jacob Kepecs, Chicago ex-
pert.
Sees Criminality Breeding.
Robert Leonard, chairman of Gen.
trail Neighborhood Councils Adjust
ment Committee, declared that anti
social children will make the Dis
tricts future criminals, and said that
he knew of one school in which l20
children need social service aid.
Cited as an institution now unable
to give proper service to the COM
munity was the National Training
School for Boys. Elsa Castendyke
of the Children's Bureau in the La
Dor Department declared that the
reform of Washington boys COM
nnitted to the school is hampered by
the presence of boys sent there from
all parts Of the country for Federal
offenses.
These out-of-town youths are
older and more sophisticated than
the local boys" she said. Certainly
some solution should be found"

years ago, the LeOTner INKS en-
pire has grown until today his Or
ganiZation controls all the public
golf facilities within the District OF
Columbia.
Since the original 9-hole lease,
the Government has built, on the
fiat lands of Hains Point, east of
the railroad bridge, three other g.
hole golf courses, turning them over
to Mr. Leoffler to operate at a profit
All are fiat, uninteresting layouts
which could be vastly improved un-
der the supervision of a competent
course architect. All have flinty-
surfaced dirt tees, poorly trapped
putting greens, and badly kept
bunkerS.
Course "Takes Beating"
The operator OF a public golf
course has one major problem That
is to keep play moving without un-
due congestion. A course which has
the heavy play of East Potomac
Park takes a lot of beating. Long
before dawn during the summer
months, the golf faithful flock to
East Potomac Park to get their bags
in line for an early start. They
keep at it until dark. The play is
very heavy. But the East Potomac
Park course is outmoded and far
behind the modern trend. 1t is too
short, not we'll trapped, and in poor
condition The greens need COM
plete rebuilding All the tees should
be sodded and elevated made
quate bunkering permits wild shots.
BY comparison with the we'll con-
structed, adequately trapped and
well-kept Mount Pleasant public
course in Baltimore the East Poto-
mac Park course is like a miniature
layout The charges are below those
in Baltimore except on week ends,
but the golf itself doesn't compare
with that at the Baltimore course,
which is publicly owned and publicly
operated in the interests of the
golf1ng public.
Mount Pleasant. built in 1885 ant
1896 with w. P A. money at cost of
around 100000, stands out as one
of the finest public golf courses in
the land 1t is operated by the Bal
timore Park Board as an 18-hole
golf course. with a fee of so cents
per round, week days and week ends
compared with Is cents for 18 holes
in Washington on week days and SO
cents on Sundays. Play averages
200 on week days and 400 each on
Saturdays and Sundays. Baltimore
golfers generally rate the course one
of the best in the entire Middle At
lantic section, comparing it favor
ably with the Five Farms course of
the Baltimore Country Club, which
has been good enough to be the
scene of two national champion
ships.

BALANCING THE BUDGET
by B. Maryn


The meat buying habits Of the average Mrs. Ameri-
can Consumer reveal a study In waste and ignorance.
This may be startling remark to make and marry an
very shrewd buyer Will resent such statements.
Nevertheless the fact remains that compared to her
European sisters, the average American housewife
both ignorant and wastefu1 far as meat shopping
and cooking is Concerned.
First and foremost is the limited use of meats
and meat by products such Liver, he art, etc.
Liver, Of course has risen in estimation as we'll as
In price since science discovered its curative val
ue. Prior to the discovery, liver thrown to the
dogs. Then there are tongue, Kidneys, brains-also
cheap and highly nntritive meat products that are
sadly neglected by the consumer with limited in
cone. It is true their cooking requires little
more time, little more ingenuity than roast, steak,
or hamburger. But that is exactly why Americans
find European cooking appetizing and intriguing.
little time and ingenuity transforms these loH1y
by-products into piquant savory dishes very Low
cost.
other items neglected by the average consumer are
the head and feet of animals. The feet of fowl
go the way of the garbage
what do with feet?" The feet and legs
of fowl and cattle contain and gelatin, make
delicious soups and je11ied dishes.
And the WASTE of WASTES is chicken fatI Recently

With chicken fat?"
Chicken fat which is easily rendered, can be
stored for months, has excellent flavor and be
used for frying steaks, chops, ,patties, french toast

Local Consumers Protest
At Public Milk Hearings

Milk, man's most perfect, and perhaps most neces-
sary food is luxury commodity, priced too high for
necessary health consumption income fami LES
This the unanimous concensus of the consumers
testimony which presented last week at the De-
parnent Of Agriculture's hearing of proposed milk
marketing agreement.
The main issue of this marketing agreement is to
fix the price that handlers (distributors) in the
Washington market would pay the Maryland and vir
ginia Milk Producers Association.
The hearing gave all parties concerned oppor-
tunity to present their testimony either in behalf
Of or against all any part of the proposed agree
ment.
Consumers placed in a peculiar position in
this whole matter-opposed general principles to
price fixing, yet wanting the farmers to get
square deal".
The Washington Consumers Milk Committee represen-
ting various organi and groups submit tied
excellent brief deploring the exceptionally high
price ~ cents quartz Washington consumers were
paying They stressed the need Of improved distri-
button methods which would enable to pu-
chase milk at reduced rates, suggesting two quart
deposits bottles, and store differential WASH
ington and vicinity is of the few places in the
country where cash and carry from the store does
net the consumer reduction.
The marketing agreement proposed by the pro-
ducers would include Maryland area adjacent to the
District thus affecting towns like Greenbelt, ,Berwyn
College Park etc., wi tn the probability of increas
ed milk prices.
Fearing this rise, several Maryland consumers ex-
pressed their disapprova1 of any step that would
bring about increase. Mrs. D. A.. Schorb. speak,
ing in behalf the American Association of Univer
sty Women, College Park Branch, said that milk
too high for adequate consumption Of an aver
age family and that it would be necessary cons-
ers to use more and canned milk if the price OF
fluid milk increased. Mrs. Evelyn Cooper, repre-
senting Greenbelt Better Buyers also expressed dis
approval Of any increase in milk prices.
All consumers present stressed the economy in the
of canned milk. And ironically enough the best
argument presented for the use of canned milk was
included in the handlers brief which pointed out
that consumers could save high and aialf
cents quart.

LETTER TO THE WolENs EDITOR

Dear Mrs. Arness and all the other mothers:
There used to be saying to this effect-one
baby takes up all its mothers time, twelve do
more. But taking up all its mother's time has defi-
nit ely gone out wi tn the horse and buggy, that
Dydee Wash has appeared the scene. Under any
circumstances, it's convenience, but using it for
everything possible makes it real blessing. I
have eliminated much work by doing just that.
For example, instead of using those heavy pads
in the crib, bought two stockinette rubber sheets,
one for Immediate and to hold in reserve.
I make the bed wit crib sheet, put the stocdn-
cite rubber sheet next to absorb the moi sture then
place the Dydee on top. I change the Ddees fire.
quent1y as necessary, with never a backward look.
And why? Because don't have to wash then, si11yI
And when the baby very little, the Dydees
were excellent for towels after the bath-just the
right size, and nice and soft.
am also grateful for the Baby Talk Magazine
which CONES free with the Dydees. Plenty of ideas
and helpful suggestions to help make the of
the baby simple and understanding task. TITS too
bad when mothers tired they can't enjoy the
baby. Babies meant to be enjoyed. HeaYan
never meant them to be taaemasters. Why DON'T you
