DRIBS AND DRABS
Football Is and always has been a
great competitive sport and down
in the foothills Of West Virginia
that competition comes to a sizzling
point Friday afternoon Nov, 70
when the mighty mole-skin-men OF
Romney and Moorefeld collide
head-on in the Potomac Valleys
1912 blue-ribbon gridiron party.
For years the teams have been
nothing but bitter rivals and all
their pent-up emotions will be un-
loosed when they crash into each
other with all the power and force
at their command. Moorefield's
dazzling Yellow Jackets, Of course,
are the pre-game favorites but their
edge will be only of the razor-edge
variety and razor edges these days
are very thin. !. J. Then, too, CHUCK"
Collette's Romney confederates
have been coming along in great
style and don't be awe-struck If
they happen to send that dope
bucket sprawling all the way back
to Moorefield. Aside from pro-
viding the sporting world with
thrills and action, football is also
doing its bit for Uncle Sam.
Statistics show that more than 210
college and professional players and
coaches are enrolled in military
service.

common knowledge that Allegany

teams than LaSalle Institute which
is handicapped by small student

have tremendous enroliments while

Randolph of the House District
Committee to appoint subcommit-
tee which would hold public hear

A surprising lag is developing In
the purchase of the 977 new auto
mobiles allotted to the District for
sale to eligible persons in March,
April and May.
Dealers feel the public believes
restrictions are more drastic than
those in operation and have asked
would-be purchasers to communi-
cate with them directly for detailed
information.
The Washington Automobile Trade
Association announced that less
than 100 certificates for purchase of
new cars have been issued by the
District rationing board in the first
three weeks of this month. At least
$50 certificates should have been
issued if the District is to use up its
quota, 1t was estimated.
During March. April and May OF

ents do not know what to do, Mr..
Mason said that with all the op-
portunities to know via the press,
radio, books. lectures, etc., II they
didn't know now they were just
ignorant.
Although it was pointed out that
the school medical inspection serv-
ice only notes defects and refers
the child to the family physician or
dentist for diagnosis and treatment,
the Commissioner said it was up to
the parents to send the children to
the family physician, not the public.
Where parents cannot afford to
have family physician, he con-
ceded, the public clinics should pro-
vide the seEvice.
Where to Draw Line.
1T you put in a comprehensive
program in the junior and senior
high schools" he said, why stop
there? Why not follow the children
right on along into their stores and
onices until they die? Where are
you going to draw the line?
Asked why he was drawing the
line at the sixth grade, Mr.. Mason
reiterated that the children were at
an age when they could be taught
and controlled without benefit Of
the movies and soda pop they crave
at a later age. He did not explain
why the elementary school child's
health was not also q parental re-
sponsibility.
Other officials have contended
that many of the defects for which
District men have been rejected by
the Army could be eliminated with
an expansion Of the medical inspec-
ton, dental inspection, and follow
up through public health nurses to
see If the parents would correct the
defects through the family doctor or
dentist. This program plus an en-
larged health and physical educa-
ton program in the schools. it is
contended, would go far toward
giving the Army the physically fit
soldier now available to the Axis
forces.
Mr.. Mason said that in asking the
schools OF the Nation to provide
physically fit men and women the
Army was only pointing out a need
everybody had known about and he
recognized no patriotic obligation on
the part of District schools to ex-
pand the business As usual" pro-
gram In physical education.
Opposes Dental Program.
Atho1Ih surveys have shown

two-thirds Of the junior high school
pupils and three-fourths of the
senior high pupils with dental de-
fects, he is opposed to any kind Of
dental program in the schools.
Aren't you going to leave any
thing to the home?" he asked.
In connection with follow-ups by
school public health nurses, he said
students or parents could not be
compelled to correct defects and
would not do so simply because Of
school nurses. Told Of the expe-
riment at Calvin Coolidge High
School, where within school year
more than 10 per cent Of defects
noted in physical examinations at
the beginning Of the year were
cleared up, he insisted: "You can't
make them do It,"
As far As expanding the health
and physical education program IN
the senior high schools to the fve
periods a week now In effect at
Coolidge, Mr.. Mason said that was
a matter for the Board Of Education
to decide, but pointed out the board
had not asked for any additional
physical education teachers.
He observed that good physical
education teachers, as public health
nurses, would be difIicult to get and
that many colleges were giving
physical education degrees to ath-
letes who couldn't pass In any other

ADA. Blocked Plan
For Fund 10 Remove
Temporary Houses
Warren Rules Reserve
Can't Be Created Out
Of Rents Received

A ruling by Controller General
Lindsay c. Warren has blocked an
Alley Dwelling Authority plan to set
up a reserve fund from the rent from
$500 temporary dwellings to be
erected in the Metropolitan Area for
war workers to finance the removal
Of the structures after the emer-
gency.
The decision, made public today,
pointed out that the rent from such
facilities may be used only for opera
ton and management or for admin
istrativs expenses and disagreed with
the contention of John H. Ihlder,
Authority chairman, that the
eventual removal constituted a
proper charge against operation and
management.
Program Temporary.
The money for this project-S18.-
900 ,OO0-was allocated by President
Roosevelt out of an appropriation OF
$500, ,00O,0 900 for temporary shelters
throughout the country.
In outlining to the Controller
General plans for the project, Mr..
Ihlder said Congress intended it to
be of temporary nature, and that
the A. D. A. consequently is pro-
posing to lease sites for the houses
for the duration of the emergency
and one year thereafter. AS a con-
sideration of the lease, he continued,
it is the intent to agree to remove
the houses.
Sites in Restricted Areas.
Lacking such q removal fund, Mr..
Ihlder continued, the Authority may
find at that time that it has on its
hands structures which 1t has un-
dertaken to remove, but which 1t
cannot remove because there are
no funds for the operation. He
pointed out in this connection that
because of the urgency of the situ-
alton I'VE must necessarily con-
struct these houses on sites where
in have been installed water and
sewer lines, but in sections Of the
city where buildings Of this type
would not be permitted to be con-
structed If they were of q perma-
nent nature or where the purchase
cost of the land would be prohibi-
tive"
In turning down the A. D. A.
plan, Controller General Warren
said that the limitation on the use
of rentals to operation and man
agement would seem to make it
clear that the funds are available
only for "the operating and the
managing of the facilities after their
construction and while they are In
use or available for use for the pur-
pose for which constructed"

Keystone Club Urges
BIackout Driving Study

Reconsideration Of local blackout
regulations relating to motor ve-
hicles will be asked of Commits
sioner Young. co-ordinator of ci-
william defense for the metropolitan
area. as a result of a resolution
adopted unanimously last night by
the Advisory Board of the Key
stone Automobile Club.
The group urged new study Of
motor vehicle disposition during
blackouts by a seven-man commit
tee composed of persons concerned
with traffic matters. 1t was recon-
mended that at least one member
of such group be representative
Of the Army.
Adoption of the resolution came
after the meeting in the Shoreham
Hotel had heard William S. Can
ming. engineering director Of the
club, report that blackout driving
brought about a 52-percent in
crease in London traffic deaths.
The board also voted to ask
Judge John P. Mcmahon, presiding
judge of Police Court, to effect a
uniform policy among the judges Of
that court with respect to permit
ting forfeiture of collateral on speed
ing charges.

ANY kind Of Z health program In
the Junior and senior high schools,
he indicated, was q "boondoggle" and
far from extending it, he wouldn't
mind seeing what's done now dis
continued.
But the elementary school pro-
gram-that's different" he said.
I'm in favor Of even doubling our
program at that level because the
children are young enough to be
controlled. But I'm opposed to
spending any public money for the
work in the junior and senior high
schools"
Parents Job In High Schools.
In the Junior and senior high
schools the children are old enough
to know what's good for them and
old enough to be uncomfortable as
to their health habits, he contended.
Its q Job for the parents" he
said.
Asked If the reflections of District
men by the Army for physical rea-
sons was not an indication parents
were falling down on such respon-
sibility, Mr.. Mason, whose juris-
diction includes the Health Depart
ment, said that did not alter the
situation. If the parents or the
children themselves don't look out
for their physical fitness, then it's
too bad for the children, he indi-

Recreation Bill
Would Care for
Service Visitors
WoIter Emphasizes
Need of Enactment
To Provide Beds

While public officials and private
organizations are making progress
in providing some additional sleep
ing quarters and recreational IA
cilities for visiting service men. 1t
was emphasized today by officials
that enactment by Congress of the
long-pending District public rec
reation bill would offer means of
solving the whole problem.
The bill, according to Hugo VOL
ter, director Of Recreational Serv-
ices, Inc, would give the District
strong and centralized public rec
reation system with responsibility
and authority necessary to take ef-
fective action in such problems as
caring for service men. Lack of
such authority, he said, is respon-
sible for the present bad situation.
Sets Up Imam Board.
Mr.. Wolter pointed out the bill
would set up a seven-man District
recreation board which would be
authorized to fix budget to meet
recreational needs. The bill passed
the House July Is, 1941, but is still
pending in the Senate.
Meanwhile, a temporary commit.
tee OF seven, headed by Mr.. Wolter,
has been organized to take whatever
immediate steps are possible in car
ing for the thousands of men In uni
form who visit the Capital each
week. Others on the committee are
Charles p. Taft. Mark McCloskey
and DR.. Frank Lloyd of the ONCE
OF Defense Health and Welfare
Services. James Rogers and Gra-
ham Martin, Federal Security
Agency regional office, and Milo
christensen, co-ordinator of the
present recreation setup in the Dis
trict.
The Army, Mr.. Wolter said. has
agreed to make Immediately avail
able sleeping quarters for 500 Wis
ltlng service men in Arlington Can
tonment. These beds are in the
cantonment leave area and we're
taken over by the. l76th Infantry
after American entry in the war. It
was not stated whether the entire
400 beds in the cantonment even
tually will be turned over to mill
tary visitors, though an additional
800 will be available by Easter.
Soldiers now occupying the quar-
ters will be moved, presumably to
Fort Myer.
F. S. A. Can Grant Funds.
A decision obtained yesterday by
+. S. A. classified the provision Of
lodging for service men as a rec
reational function rather than as a
problem for housing officials. This
will make 1t possible for r. S. A. to
grant funds for construction of the
proposed service mems barracks in
Union Station Plaza which would
accommodate 800 visitors. Recrea-
tional Services, Inc, organized to
handle Federal funds for public rec
reation In the District, would carry
out the project.
In addition to the barracks, Mr..
Wolter has asked F. S. A. officials
to expedite construction of a recrea-
tion center at Boiling Field. This
$68 900 center will be built as soon
as the Federal Works Agency ap-
proves specifications and lets the
contract.
The F. S. A. also is acquiring the
McKim estate at Dupont Circle.
This large mansion will be used
solely for recreational purposes and
will be primarily for civilian defense
workers within the Government.
However, 1t was stated, service men
will be invited to use It's facilities.
