Burroughs Citizens
Hit Reduction in
Fire Personnel
Association DepIores
Lack Of Funds to Keep
Up School Buildings

Opposition to the reduction in tn.
Fire Departments personnel wa.
voiced last night by the Burrough.
Citizens Association, which, actins
on motion by Jesse Jameson
asked reinstatement of IS men moi
provided for in the last appropri.
alton.
Claiming that "the District seems
to be expanding, and the Fire De-
partment falling Off" the associ.
alton urged that there be no further
reduction.
Unnecessary shifts of outlying fire
equipment to downtown truck and
engine companies, lowering protec.
tion in affected communities. was
criticized by the association, which
approved Mr.. Jamieson's motion re-
questing Fire Department officials
not to move trucks or engines from
one station to another unless by a
multiple alarm-that is, by two OF
more alarms"
Hit School Fund.
The association adopted Kenneth
P. Armstrong; motion "deplorine
the action of Congress in failing to
appropriate the adequate funds for
the maintenance of the District
school buildings" The omission OF
the appropriation for an addition to
the. Taft Junior High S>hool was
condemned by the group, which de-
cided to take up the matter in con-
gressional hearings.
On receipt of a letter from the
Civic Affairs Committee of the
Washington Federation of Churches
the association supported Frank E
Harrison's motion that Congress in
vestigate the liquor situation in
Washington. Wilbur S. Finch offered
the motion substituting Congress
for the Board of Commissioners in
making the survey.
Ask Playground Fence.
The association unanimously re-
quested that Virgil c. Dyer be re-
turned as director to the Taft
Burroughs Playground, and Mr.
Fnch's suggestion that a fence and
hedge be erected at the east end
OF the playground was carried.
AS a part of the entertainment,
a quartette from the A Cappella
Choir of the First Congregational
Church presented a progam to en-
courage subscriptions to their choir
concerts at Constitution Hall. The
Burrougs organization pledged SIS
for the first concert.
Robert c. Snow presided at the
meeting, which was held at the
John Burroughs School.

lors Perley Dyar Chase of Ward Four.
Daniel F. Sullivan of Ward Nine and
William Taylor of Ward Twelve.
In Ward 4 the Association has in
terested Councillor Chase in a fight
for more playground facilities and the
ironing out of problems affecting the
schools, presented to the official by
the Housewives League. Councillor
Chase informed the Association that
he is studying the local federal hous-
ing setup, with view to making the
homes soon to open accessible to num-
bers of poor people who now stand in
danger of being barred from admis-
sion to the project.
The greatest progress has been
made in Ward 9, where a splendid
response has been obtained from Coun-
cillor Sullivan. Most recent of the
gains there are the introduction of a
measure to obtain new street lights
on fremont ST. Housing is also
prominent on Mr.. Sullivan's calendar;
the Association has secured an ap-
pointment with the Boston Housing
Authority for the near future. In its
last meeting with Mr.. Sullivan the
group learned that he is staging a
mammoth sports day at the Carter
playground on July 4, with no admis-
sion charge and loads of free ice
cream for the youngsters.
A committee of several members is
preparing a list of needed improve
ments to be sought in Roxbury, and
a report is expected to be made early
next week. Councillor Taylor has
already given assurance of coopera-
ton.
The Association called attention to
the fact that the full program has not
yet gotten under way, and perhaps
will not until Fall. Members are busy
even during the Summer months,
however, and believe that by Septem-
Der they will be in the midst of their
biggest year.

HOUSEHOLDS
OBSERVE
RUTH DAY

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
The Women's Department of the Grand
United Order of Odd Fellows in Amer
ica-the department known officially
as the Household of Ruth-observes
one day in the year in which its mem
bers shine forth in all splendor. That
day is the third Sunday in June; it is
Ruth Day" or Founders Day" The
latter designation finds its origin in the
fact that Patrick II. Reason, one of the
founders of the Grand United Order, is
generally accredited as founder of the
Household of Ruth in 1858, and is re-
garded as its patron saint.
This year the celebrations were held
Sunday, June Is. There were thous-
ands of such celebrations in cities and
towns throughout the United States,
Canada Central and South America,
Africa, and the West Indies. The ex-
ercises included an address on Ruth,
a sermon, and musical numbers. The
days offerings were presented to the
respective churches in which the cele-
brations were held.
