Citizen Group Votes
To Protest Elimination
OF Alaska Ave. Bus
Over 200 Attend
Sixteenth Street Heights
Association Meeting

The Sixteenth Street Heights Citi-
zens' Association voted last night to
send committee to the Public Utili-
ties Commission hearing on Septem-
ber Is to protest proposed elimina-
ton of the Alaska avenue run of the
So bus route.
The decision was reached at mass
meeting held at the Shepherd School
attended by more than 200 residents
Of the community. Harry c. Hensley,
president Of the association, was
chairman.
Want practical Plan"
Oliver E. Sweet, member Of the Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the association,
said, I'VE agree that the need for i'm
provement of the service and elm
nation of waste of vital materials
used by buses is urgent. But though
We will do our best to help correct
conditions, we feel that any new
system agreed on must be the best
and the most practicable, or else we
must take exception to the ruling"
Michael j. Cairns, chairman of the
associations Utilities Committee,
pointed out that the proposal that
other existing facilities, such as the
Georgia avenue streetcar line be
used, would result in loss of man
hours In vital war production by
forcing workers to rise much earlier
in the morning to make up for the
slower transportation.
Substitute suggestions by associa-
ton members included more express
service on existing bus lines In place
Of local schedules now employed.
Maryland Residents Cited.
Several speakers contended that
Maryland residents who came into
the District by private car to take
buses to work would have to travel
much farther to reach a convenient
connecting point, with resulting loss
in gasoline and tires.
Members of the Executive and
Utilities Committees will represent
the association at the hearing.
The next meeting of the associa-
ton will be held September 81, when
officers will be elected.

schools will be continued in the

schools when school opens Septem-
Der 81, 1t was announced yesterday
by Robert l.. Haycock, acting super
intendent of schools. Elementary
schools will go back to the 9 am.
opening hour.
The Anacostia Junior-Senior High
School, crowded for the third year
beyond its capacity, will continue
It's staggered opening hours of 8:15
am. for the 9th through the 18th
grades; 10:30 am. for 7-B to 8-B
students, and 12:45 pm. for ia
students. The IA students, it has
been announced. will have to forge
music and art instruction, classified
as minor subjects, until opening OF
the Kramer Junior High School in
February.
Set up in the second semester last
| spring, the $50 am. starting hour
was designed to relieve congestion
of both war workers and school
children on buses and streetcars
The elementary grades are going
back to the am. hour, it was ex-
planned, because it was discovered
that comparatively few elementary
school pupils used public transporta-
ton to go to and from classes.
The school officials also discovered
that a closing hour Of $3.50 pm
found the smaller children too IA
tigued to learn anything. In ad'
dition, the early darkness Of the
winter months was considered {
hazard as far as the younger chill
dren were concerned.
