alarms that brought scout cars rush.

The first alarm came in shortly
after 8 o'clock at shop in the 1900
block of F street NV. The next
came from wholesale concern in
the 2300 block of Lawrence avenue
NE, followed by third in the $500

Senate Vote Sought
This Session on Bill
For School Nurseries
Parent Teacher Institute
Coils on McCurrun
To Press Measure

More than 200 representatives. of
District Parent-Teacher Associa-
tions unanimously approved a reso-
luton today urging Chairman Nc
Carran of the Senate District Com
mittee to seek an immediate vote
on bill providing for establishment
of day nurseries in District public
schools.
The resolution, passed at the sec
ond days session of the sixth annual
Parent-Teacher Institute at George
Washington University's Hall of
Government, was introduced by Mrs.
Evelyn Bright Buckley of the Dis
trlct Congress of Parents and
Teachers following a speech by Mrs.
Henry P. Chandler, chairman of the
OCD Child Care and Protection
Committee.
Mrs. Chandler said, IF any SEN
ator dares to object to the District
nursery school bill, then there should
be pressure for him to change his
mind by every citizen in the Dis
trict."
Mrs. Chandler said the bill. which
would open the public schools to
children under 5, has been "sWirline
in a whirlpool for two months since
its passage by the House on Septem-
Der %. She urged that pressure be
exerted by all those who wish to see
the bill passed before the present
session of Congress ends.
In describing the acute need of
nursery schools to care for children
OF District working mothers, Mrs.
Chandler said that st. Elizabeth's
Hospital had reported to her COM
mlttee that 81 mothers of small
children would have to resign Jobs
unless adequate day child-care fa-
cllltles were provided immediately.
The Veterans Administration re-
ported that % women had resigned
or gone on indefinite leave in a
period OF IS days because there was
no place to leave their children.
Ihe transient population of the
District, Mrs. Chandler continued
does not have grandmothers or
mothers in-law to fall back on as a
means of caring for children. Added
to that, there are at present in the
District only % nursery schools with
capacity for only 72e pre-school
children, she said. These schools
are private and charge up to $40 a
month for care, which is far beyond
the price that S1,060-a-year clerk
can pay for day care, the speaker
said.
Mrs. Chandler, in referring to a
recent statement that nursery
schools in public schools are one
more step toward socialism as it
exists in Germany" said that on the
contrary nursery schools are as
plain a part of the democratic way
Of life as our public school system" !"
Other speakers today were Miss
Elsa Castendyck of the United
States Children's Bureau, Miss Flea
nor Enright of the Office of Defense
Health and Welfare Services, and
Lawson j. Cantrell, assistant super
intendent of schools, in charge of
Junior high and vocational schools.

PUBLIC OFFICIAL TAKES STAND

While the New Deal as a poitica-labor government, APP
parently has every intention of marching on in Washington in
spite of war, we ae pleased to note that one state official has
had the courage to urge a halt to a reform" in the shape of
a tax increase at a time when the same federal government
is urging us to contribute every extra dime to defense.
Barclay Craighead. chairman of the state unemployment
compensation commission, has gone IN record as opposed to
an increase in social security levies. He declares and proves that
additional unemployment compensation taxes in Montana are
unnecessary and a burden that many businesses can hardly
support now. With war restrictions, business failures in Mon
tana probably will be many, he adds. Additional imPostions
on workers through payroll deductions would also be harmful
for most Montana employees have not benefited through the
war initiation and are struggling to make ends meet as prices
of almost everything they buy increase.
Finally, and most important, he said, War taxes should be
raised as war taxes. Social security taxes should be raised as
social security taxes. The people are entitled to know the dit
ference O r what they are paying for
State officials, too often under the domination of the federal
government or threatened with the loss of federal funds, are
reluctant to speak out in meetin' like MI. Craighead has. So,
all the more reason for congratulations to him.

ARMY MORALE IS CHEERING

We at home may be assaied by doubts and misgiving about
our war effort, we may grumble about the few slight hardshiPs
we have undergone and many of us s. far may have only a
dim realization of the huge field of struggle and the tremen-
dous forces in motion.
But army morale is high. Our men in the armed forces are
confident and champing at the bit. We know this because of
the letters we have been getting from our Valley county boys,
They appear to be more worried about folks at home than
about their own affairs. We received a fine evidence of this
spirit this week in a letter from Sergeant Frank Wambeke,
who IS in a California camp. We think it we'll worth repeating
here, as an example for all of us:
There are many of us just more or less standing by waiting.
Maybe we can go over and give those laps a bit of a whipping.
Most of the boys in the service r ready and just waiting to
grab a hand full of transports and hit the blue. often think
of the many friends had in Glasgow, so thought this would
be as good a way as any to say hello and let them know I'm
betting by two cents We can whip the honorable pants Oft those
birds. We are in it and we will win it"
No on can add much to that statement. 1t speaks for itself.
That same spirit is evident among all our millions of fighting
men. May it be dffused and strengthened in the whole nation.

OUR SCHOOL NEWS PAGE

Courier readers will notice considerable change in the pre-
sentation of school news in this weeks issue. There r several
reasons for what we believe is IN improvement. AS a student
editor explains in her own editorial, the new plan will give the
Roundup staff more participation and experience in newspaper
practice. The Courier realizes that its readers ae interested in
our schools. But sometimes we feel that none of us realizes how
many and how important are the functions the schools perform
in our community life. These are increased in wartime. One
group stresses its citizenship program through the schools; we
call on the schools for talent at almost every community pro-
gram; the schools cooperate in our defense stamp, scrap iron
and Victory garden campaigns; the school shop is training
workers for war industries. These are only a few examples.
We believe that the very important place of the school in our
democracy cannot be overstressed. Readers may keep this in
mind when they scan the new school page.
