Solicitor Holtsberry also rec
commended that "two motorcycle
officers should be on duty at all
times in this city instead of one.
Increased traffic here has great
ly increased the accidents as the
records being compiled by Fritz
A. McElroy, clerk of council, re-
veals."
In bringing the legislation
sponsored by Frank L. (Bud)
Stare Jr. and James E. Neigh
Dor, before council, Holtsberry
emphasized the Importance of
passing it without delay SO that
local traffic laws would be uni
form with the state code. He
further recommended that Pres
ident of Council Clint Conner ap-
point a committee to make a
traffic investigation to determine
whether the city should make ap-
plication to the Director of High
ways to lower the speed limits
on state routes which are per-
mitted in Newark by law. Coun-
Gil in passing the traffic regula-
tion, also gave their official sane
tion to the committee.
Members of council exhibited
a healthy interest in the provi-
sions of the new ordinance and
by their unanimous vote and re-
marks made in discussion of the
legislation let it be known that
an "all-out effort is going to be
made to enforce the new laws
and to acquaint the public with
just what those laws are"

Federation, Miss Olive Huston,

man. She was accompanied at
the piano by Mrs. Leland Korb.

Miss Huston, the guest speaker,
who proved to be witty and enter
tanning. She spoke on the need
of living up to the theme of the
week Strengthening Democracy

more use in these busy times.
"Selling ourselves to our COM

two kinds of club members, the
worker" and the "joiner and

sciouS.

the rainbow, calling for need of
cloud of organization spirit,
from thence going into the COM

color to the main characters,
which all need. This is the Fed
GRAFTON rainbow, which signifies
all things.
Miss Huston closed her talk
with a quotation from the ma
tional executive secretary, Louise
Franklin Bache: "This is a test
year. This year all organizations
will be called upon to prove the
reason for their existence. If
they can't justify themselves
through a direct contribution to

An Asset

For 20 years the School
of Nursing Of the Newark
Hospital has been gradual
ing nurses who have been a
credit and asset to the pro-
fession.
There are few professions
requiring the downright
hard work and perseverance
necessary to obtain the COW
eted title of Registered
Nurse. First of all the
young lady who applies must
be in perfect health, of
sound character, have a high
scholastic standing, and be
inculcated with an earnest
desire to be of service to
, mankind. All the foregoing
attributes are necessary If
she is to measure up under
the rigorous training.
Last Friday eight more
graduates were added to the
long list matriculating at the
school. In commenting on
the class Miss Ruth Hitch
cock, superintendent of nur-
ses, made the statement,
n These girls have worked
d hard and will be an asset to
this profession"
Adding to the foregoing
statement, we offer our con-
gratulations and sincere
good wishes for success to
the following.
Misses Virginia White,
Martha Wickliffe, Jun e
Campbell, Mildred Swick,

Ridenour, Alice Mills and
