 Goods Trade
Manufacturers Flooded with Orders for Ath-
 |etit Equipment
By NED NORDNESS AP Feature Service

ST. LOUIS, July IT. Because Uncle Sam believes his soldiers should pay as well as work, sporting goods manufacturers are flooded with orders for athletic equipment.
 And thees same manufacturers al- ready are doing a landslide business on regular civilian orders.
 Such was the unanimous con- firmation by officials of various companies doing business in St. Louis.
 It looked bad last winter
 Manufacturers couldn't convince dealers that there would be the same number of persons indulging in sports. They used up reams of copy explaining that the average sport participant was under the draft age.
 It wasn't until these dealers re- ceived their regular early spring business that they rushed through their orders Production in some companies already had been cut down 20 per cent because of the delayed orders. And then the Army got around to thinking of the re- creational aspect of a selectee's life.
 You sec" said one manufacturer, i've figure the average user of sports equipment is 21 years and under. Thus the boys in the Army really are new customers for us and do not detract from our civilian business. In fact, civilian business is even heavier than before the draft"
 The new civilian recruits for sporting goods equipment come from the institutions of higher education, he said. He revealed results of a survey made by Major John Griffith, Big Ten commissioner, to support his contention.
 According to Major Griffith, who spent some time in checking the colleges of the country, intramural sports are being developed as never before, to help fit the student phys ically for better service to his coun- try when his eutrn in the Army comes.
 As a result, colleges and uni versailles are buying more athletic equipment than ever before.
 The net result, of course, is boom business, more employment, and more participants in recreational pursuits-and sporting goods manu- lecturers hope they are lasting

Roth recreational supervisor, stat ed that as a special treat for the adults who have been anxiously awaiting the opening of the pool. he will open the pool Friday evening from to 10 o'clock, if the weather indicates that favorable crowd will attend.

GA Speeding Violations.

Speeding led all other ACCIDENT
nroducine ofenses last month, with
614 arrests being made. This was
a drop of SO from the month before.
Slightly brighter was the picture IN
arrests for passing a stop sign anu
passing a red light. A total OF ISz
tickets were given out for the former
ofTense and l64 for the latter, m
creases over last month OF 8 ana 10
respectively. A similar situation ex-
listed in the arrests for failing TO
give the right of way to another We
hicle-l43 in August, 1T in july
and for driving on the wrong s4oe
of the street, l09 and 81 for these
respective 30-day periods.
Twenty-eight persons were charged
with drunken driving, compared
with "a the month before, and Il
arrests for reckless driving were
made. an increase of five.
Overtime Parking Leads List.
Overtime parking took the lead
away from disobeying an Official sign
in August, the two swapping hrSt
and second places. The former last
month totaled 1858 and the latter
7ss. The 614 speeders came fourth.
One of the important accident
preventing regulations that had a
decrease last month was that OF
failing to give full attention to op-
Grafton of the car. The drop was
from 81 to 46. Arrests in turning
from the wrong lane, however,
picked up from IS to 49. A total OF
l6 arrests for failing to give the

Civic Group Protest Rats.
The events leading up to in
auguration of this program cover a
long period of time. Individual clti-
zen groups have expressed them
selves in favor of a vigorous cam
paign to rid the city of the pests
numerous times in the last few
years. Last spring, however. the
subject was laid before the Fedora
ton of Citizens Association. A re-
port by the Federation's Public
Health Committee, headed by DR..
Charles B. Campbell, called the
problem significant for the citizens
to undertake.
Meanwhile the Health Depart
ment was receiving an increasing
number of phore calls and corre-
spondences requesting somebody ito
come out and get rid of our rats"
The fact was the department had
no funds for exterminating rats.
When three cases of typhus fever
were discovered to have been caused
by the city's rodents, funds were
forthcoming. But there wasn't
nearly enough money for any kind
of sustained effort.
A.P. Bell, a Junior engineer in the
department, then hit upon plan
for large-scale eXterminatlng cam
paign. He found labor to be the
chief cost, making the job practically
prohibitive. Richard t. Talley. a
rodent expert in the Fish and Wild
Life Division of the Interior De-
partment, told him of how big dent
was made in the rat population OF
Texas by a plan of civic co--opera-
ton in the cities throughout the
State. A similar program was sub
sequently developed for washington.
Pep Talk Given.
This program is now in the hands
of the citizen associations, outlined
in the mimeographed sheets just
sent out to them. Along with it the
citizens will soon see lot of other
evidences that ar anti-rodent war
is under way. A number of them
will receive pep talks from the COM
mander in chief, Mr.. Bell, who is
devoting his spare evenings to giving
short talks to the organizations.
Businessmen's associations will
especially be sought for participa-
ton. Mr.. Bell, whose official status
is co-ordinator of the program, joints
out that they have an additional
stake in rodent determination be-
sides the health menace.
"Householders feed their rats gar
bage," he stated, "storekeepers feed
their salable goods"
Later, accort ng to the plan, school
children vii be given question
naires to take home and be answered
by their parents. These will be
turned over to the cooperating
civic group In the area for their
survey. Parent-Teacher Associa-
tions, churches and other groups are

expected to have a part in the pro-
gram, too.
Washington is the largest city to
have attempted this sort of thing,
according to Co-ordinator Bell, and
with its success, he points out, the
Capital City will in one more way
become a model for other American
communities to follow.
