ANNUAL PARADE
OF THE SCHOOL
SAFETY PATROLS

Safety will vie with defense for ma
tional attention on May 9 and 10,
when Washington and Governmental
leaders will play host to the Tenth
Annual Assembly and Parade of the
School Safety Patrols, the American
Automobile Association announced
this week.
The event this year, the A. A. A.
said, will assume mammoth proper
tions, with Is states from Florida, to
Wisconsin, sending more than $4,000
boys and girls to participate in the
demonstration.
The kickoff for the activities of
these representatives of thousands of
schools and 100000 members of the
patrols will take place on the Capitol
Plaza on the afternoon of May 8,
when Vice-President Henry A. Wal
lace and Speaker of the House, Sam
Rayburn, will address the assembled
youth from the steps of the Capitol.
Led by the crack United States
Navy Band, which has become a ira
ditional feature of the annual parade,
and a delegation of patrol members
who have won "honor medals" for
saving lives of schoolmates, the trek
down Constitution Avenue will begin
at 9 A. M, Saturday, May 10, with
Capital notables, including Senator's
and members of the House, paying
tribute to the youth movement from
the reviewing stand.
Comemnting on this years event,
Thos. P. Henry, President of the Ma
tional motoring body, which in CO.
operation with police and school Off
Gals sponsors the patrols in some
5000 communities, said in part:
"The school safety patrol has come
of age. The annual assembly and pa
rade in Washington has won a place
on our national calendar of great
events. Official recognition from ma
tional leaders over a period Of years
has greatly helped the growth of the
movement.
GAS to the effectiveness of the
work these boys and girls, it is e.
nough to say that at time when
street and highway accidents are in
creasing throughout the country be-
cause of the intensified industrial
tempo, the splendid safety record in
the fice-to-fourteen age group is be-
ing substantially maintained, very
largely through the effective work of
the patrols and the broad programs
for safety education in the elemen-
tary grades of our schools.
"The movement has no military
connotation whatsoever, but we are
beginning to realize more and more
every day that every movement and
every organization that makes for
greater unity and more unselfish ser
vice must be counted as important as
sets in any long-range program for
defense of our. institutions and" the
ideals we believe in. Aside from the
contribution of the school patrols in
the promotion of safety, there can
be no doubt that the training and the
education they are receiving contri-
butes to better citizenship. To me
this is the big accent of their visit
to Washington this year."

She remembered all the fretful customers whom she hadn't been able to convince simply by telling them about the collars and belts that would liven up a basically good dress.
 "It's so practical, too, because It's simple. You show a woman Q dress. You get the hat the belt the collar and show her that That's demonstratica. She can see the effect for herself. Why, It's marvelousl I'm sure sales will simply soar.
 And you know what else, Ar,- thony? All those busy little numbers with cheap clips, toe many buttons, extra ruffles that give me the creeps, will go right out the window. When Q girl sees that Q dress like that can't be varied - when she's got 1t right up against another dress that's per- fectly assembled with accessories shell drop 1t like 0 hot cake. We won't have to educate the cus- toners. They'll educate them selves, just by using their eyes"
 "You've got 1t in for Dane,' he laughed. Those dressed up dresses are the pride of her life. She thinks she's giving the cus- toners extra value with every extra paste clip"
 Beatrice had no time for Dane now. "Who do you speak to about this magnificent idea? Oh, An- thony, can just see itl The spe- cial ads-'Good Taste Guaranteed at Huntington's. No matter how little you spend, you can look a million, in Huntingtons co-ordi- mated clothes"
 "Yop should be writing ads," said Anthony. There's more money in that"
 Whom do you speak to about this? The merchandise manager, or is this o matter for Bruce Shell drake himself?"
 "Sheldrake? He doesn't inter- est himself in stuff like thisl Shell drake manages the big money, after the sales are made. He ap- pears at luncheons, too, of course"

 "It's the idea of selling more things, more quickly, with more service to the customer than I dreamed up. But actual details of what particular dresses" He spread his hands, helplessly.
 Beatrice said dryly, "You have all the equipment for a first class executive, Anthony. Let the other fellow do the work. But" Her eyes shone, "I'd love to. Now you run along to school, and I'll make Q tour of show windows on Fifth Avenue"
