Three Churches Set Up
RecreationaI Centers

The Washington Federation OF
Churches has established informal
recreation centers in three of the
Districts larger churches to accom-
modate young people in crowded

The three churches are Mount
Vernon Place Methodist, Ninth
street and Massachusetts, avenue
NV; First Baptist, Sixteenth and o
streets NV, and All Souls Uni
tartan, Sixteenth and Harvard streets
NV. A similar plan may be adopted
soon at st. Thomas Episcopal
Church. Eighteenth and Church
streets NV, and Foundry Methodist
Church, Sixteenth and P streets
NV.
The churches have been provided
with libraries, lounge facilities and
equipment for games and programs.
The federation also will begin
sponsoring sightseeing tours today
for young people, similar to the
tours which have been conducted
for servicemen. Starting point of
the tours will be at Wesley Hall,
1903 K street NV.
Grover L. Hartman, defense COM
mission director, recommends that
churches give special attention to
meeting newcomers and making
them comfortable here.
THE churches of Washington" !"
he said. "have never faced a greater
challenge and opportunity than is
theirs today. They form the spear
head of one of the worlds greatest
battle fronts-the endeavor to con-
serve and develop invaluable re-
sources of human character and

D. G.. Schools Safer in 1871
Than in Previous Year
More Pupils Hurt in Traffic,
Safety Committee Chairman Reveals

Accidents last year in the public
schools of Washington were reduced
by 13 per cent from the previous
school year. according to statis-
tical survey by DR.. Robert w. Eaves,
chairman of the Public Schools
Safety Committee and principal of
the Thomson School.
While emphasizing that some
principals have not reported all
minor accidents to the superintend-
ent of schools, Dr. Eaves' report in
dicates total. from the records
available, Of 485 accidents during
1940-4l, as compared with 591 in
1939-40 and 718 in 1938-39.
An analysis of the figures reveals
that the accident reduction was
effected entirely among the younger
school children. whereas injuries re-
ported in sepior high schools rose
from 124 to 141 and in vocational
schools from 8 to IT, Elementary
schools reported only 179 cases, COM
pared with 267 in 1939-40, and Junior
high schools had 149 cases, COM
pared with 1872 last year.
Accidents at Play.
Playground and gymnasium acci-
dents accounted for nearly half the
total, as usual, but sharp drop
was noted in injuries attributable
to unsupervised play. which were
reduced by 49 per cent. Accidents
occurring under the supervision of
playground officials. on the other
hand, rose from 1877 to 215, an in
crease of 81 per cent.
Dr. Eaves explains that the statis-
tics may be misleading In the latter
classification "Of course" he points
out. "the more supervision we have,
the fewer the accidents" But last
year all accidents occurring during
recess period when one or two
teachers were watching the chill
dren's recreation were regarded as
supervised play" whereas previ-
ously they had been considered "un-
supervised" Since greater super
vision was provided, the figures show
an absolute but not a relative in
