TrafficCounci|
Votes 70 Retain
Parking Limit
Rejects Plan for
72-Hour Maximum
Instead of 18

The Traffic Advisory Council re-
jected by substantial majority last
night the motion that the city-wide
parking limit of 18 hours be ex-
tended to 70 hours as a wartime
emergency measure fitted to the
present tire and gasoline rationing
programs.
Carried over from its last meet
ing, the matter was disposed of by
the council after the same fate had
been accorded a substitute motion
to delay action on the proposal until
a survey of parking conditions in
several different sections of the
city, as a guide to the final vote,
could be made.
The parking limit extension was
opposed by the Police Department.
according to a report made at the
session by Inspector Arthur Miller,
in charge of traffic.
Adopting a report submitted by
its Safety Promotion Committee
and based on the analysis of local
traffic recently announced by the
National Safety Council, the ad-
visory group recommended that the
traffic safety engineering staff should
be doubled.
Cite Other Cities.
THE need for a larger traffic en-
gineering staff is evident from COM
parison with the time spent on
routine safety problems by three
OF the larger cities" the report
stated, indicating that to get COM
parative results. the attention re-
duired and staff on traffic safety
engineering should be doubled
The committee reported that it
had been able to obtain an appro-
priation of only $4,000 from the
House and Senate Appropriation
Committee for traffic safety educa-
ton, but that the sum should be
three times that amount.
Washington ranked low in its
public education program because
the Commissioners and perhaps the
council have not yet fully appre-
ciated the importance of this activ-
ity and the benefits which may &C
crue to our safety program if an
adequate trained staff were assigned
to this work" the committee pointed
out, and recommended that the
council take a more realistic view
of the city's traffic problem and the
need for official recognition of its
importance to the public.
Refer 10 Rising. Toll. -.
The council also approved a rec
ommendation from the committee
that estimates Of budgetary needs
for engineering, education and en-
forcement be based on actual traffic
safety needs, on the rising toll Of
preventable economic losses, on loss
of life and ION needless suffering
because this problem is not getting
the official attention and support it
requires"
Inspector Richard Mansfield, as
sistant superintendent of police,
gave the board members demon
stration of the school safety educa-
ton program he has conducted in
the District schools since 1918. He
reported that he had visited 120
schools this year, devoting his own
time to the work.
The council adopted a motion
suspending its meetings during July
and August unless its chairman
considers business matters SUBJ
mitted for its consideration impor-
tant enough to call the members
together.

HTS high time TO bone up on those beach
techniques for the Summer girls. If
y you're within hiking or pedaling distance
there still are priorities on the waves, the
pebbles the sunshine.
But remember you're not foong anyone if
You say frequent trips TO the seashore are just
TO get a good tan. We never won any prizes
AT spelling bees but still think that last word
should begin with an M.
If that's the case, and your hearts all set
on popularity and a good time as welt, We'll

It's a wise girl who knows what she wants
and goes after it. But for the love of Mrs
Neptune herself, do good job and don't come
home from her dooryard with nothing but bis
tered pride and a soul green with envy because
some other gal cramped your style.
Tips gathered from a recent CLAIMS eye
view of well-known bathing beach-and that
shelfish wasn't looking at pebbles either
prove that you don't need a Venus de Milo
figure TO be Miss High Tide on the golden
sands, and many successful mermaid wears
anything but Mona Lisa face.
So if you don't want to be beachlorn, stop
worrying because your own map isn't knock
out or your figure divine. Use that gray
matter Nature rationed out to you, long before
cards were needed to get share of anything.
If you know enough tricks and wles
and can make them look natural-you too can
catch the BIG FISH if he gets within casting
distance.
First of all, the way you shed your clothes
is important We mean, of course the cover
up costume you wear over your bathing suit.
Some girls wrostle and struggle going through
all sorts Of ungainly contortons as, red of
face from eXeruon, they divest themselves
Of Stacks or other apparel.
Take a little thought about your disman-
thing activities maybe you'll even have to
spend couple of hours in front of a mirror

The girl who wants to attract attention,
and keep it, doesn't need to sport the most
daring bathing suit on the beach-but her
costume should let everyone know that she
isn't prude either
1t should expose pretty expanses but not
in the wrong places. Legs, arms and back

All the skin that shows should be smooth

Will Train High
School Boys For
Lookout Positions

Ranger c. E. Powell spoke to the
boys of the high school on Tuesday
on the necessity for training young
er men of 16 years and over to as
sumo the places in local defense
which have been left vacant by the
induction into military and pro-
duction lines of men who formerly
manned lookouts and performed
similar services in the national for
est. To wait until an actual emer-
gency occurs, to quote Ranger Pow
ell, is to invite loss and inefficiency.
Young men of high school age with
a knowledge of mapping, first aid,
cooking, fire control, transporta-
ton and supply will be invaluable
during the next summer.
Sixty boys promptly signified
their readiness to attend a night
school for the next three months
under the leadership Of competent
instructors to equip themselves for
such service. Bill Martin, chairman
of the School Civilian Defense Com
mittee,. completed the organization
by securing the boys choice of a
student leader, a time and a place
for the school of instruction. John
Beebe will be the chairman Of the
group. Wednesday evening the time
and the High School assembly as
the place. Beebe has had experience
IN this type of work and now ranks
second in seniority of the available
lookout men. He is expected to
open the course under the direction
of Mr. Powell and other trained
men in the near future.
