On Car Stop
TOBe Aired
Citizens Differ
With Officials
Over Intersection

The Public Utilities Commission
is prepared for a stormy session
Wednesday when it holds hearings
on the Capital Transit Co.'S pro-
posal to shift car stops in the
vicinity of Nineteenth street and
Columbia road NV.
That intersection long has been a
controversial point between citizens
living in the vicinity and the city S
traffic and transportation officials.
The transit company has recon-
mended that the northbound stop
at California street, Connecticut
avenue and Columbia road be
moved 200 feet nearer Twentieth
street, and that the northbound
stop at Kalorama road be moved to
a spot between wyoming avenue
and Nineteenth street.
Herbert H. Brown, who recently
led petitioners in an effort to safe
guard pedestrians at Nineteenth
street and Columbia road, views the
hearing as STALL to prevent
erection of traffic lights at the
intersection.
Mr.. Brown said he and $50 other
citizens had made futile demands
for protection" from traffic at the
intersection.
Traffic Bureau officials said, how
for motorists was concerned, and
ever, that the corner in question
was wide open" so far as visibility
that there have been few mishaps
there.

course
Inexorably. these happenings have
had an indirect effect upon the
lives of each of us: whether we
acknowledge it or not, our own
viewpoints are changing constantly
and unless We guard our emotions
we can easily be carried away by
well-timed propaganda.
Therefore. it would seem that
parent teacher people might be do
ing a great national service if they
would maintain as nearly as posi-
BILE their normal way of living, If
they would conduct their homes
in their usual manner and If they
would attempt to guide their chill
dren into sane channels Of think
ing. If we can do these things we
will have done much to preserve
the mental equilibrium which is
an unquestioned national asset.
The District of Columbia Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers has
planned an interesting and busy
season. Among the projects is the
annual George Washington Univer-
sity-sponsored parent teacher insti-
tute to be held october % and 80
in the university. The tentative
program promises interesting and
worthwhile sessions, with outstand-
ing leaders in their particular fields.
We shall have more to say about
this institute when the program has
been completed, but it would be
well for all to remember and mark
the dates. Dean James H. Fox.
head of the school of education of
the university, is, with members
of our organization, planning pro-
gram which will provide much food
