Boys Club Workers In
Annual Conference
Seventh Session to Be Held Over Coming Weekend
in WaIIingfOrd; Executive Director to Speak

william M. johnson, director Of
the Boys Club, Arthur Very Ply
steal Director; william Hehr, SWIM
ming Director and John Bender will
attend the seventh annual Boys
Club Workers Conference ct Camp
Clearview, Wallingford, Connecticut
next Saturday and Sunday. The i'm
portance Of using older boys to re-
place Boys Club workers now In
service will be the main topic Of dis
cussion. More than 80 Of these boy
leaders, ranging in age from IA to
II, all Of whom have been members
Of clubs for several years, are at
tending the conference at which
time they will meet with the ma
tlonal executives Of Boys Clubs Of
America and Boys Club leaders
from all over the state.
David w. Armstrong, Executive
Director Of Boys Club Of America,
addressing the session Sunday
morning on the Philosophy Of the
Boys Club will urge the young
workers to use the rich experience
they have had as Boys Club men,
bers to help younger boys to useful
ness and happiness.
"A Boys Club has always been q
place where a boy had q right to
come because 1t Is His Club. With
the new problems brought by the
war we must make the club even
more attractive to the boys. With
parents working at odd hours in
war plants, they have even less
supervision. In some cities this has
lead to tremendous increase in
juvenile delinquency. We want to
prevent that and to combat 1t. It is
obvious that when a boy Is at a
Boys Club he can't be out breaking
windows or stealing bikes or getting
in wrong with the law In other
ways, so for that reason we want
more boys to come to the club, and
to come more often. It is up to you
workers, you were members Of the
club before you were workers, you
know what you liked about the club
and even what you thought could
be improved. You are in closer
touch with the boys than we can
be; II you can make the club an
important part in the lives of more
boys, you are doing not only some
thing for the boys themselves but
also for your community and for
your country"
Walter M. Hall, Director of Pro-
gram and Personnel Service of the
Boys Clubs Of America, will tell the
ways in which boy leaders are being
utilized In clubs throughout the
United States. He will point out that
having natural knowledge Of boy
psychology plus a background OF
Boys Club membership they are do
ing q splendid job of replacing
Boys Club workers now in the
service.
Fred F. woerner, Director of the
Lighthouse Boys Club Of Philadel-
phia, in which older boys have for
the past years acted as leaders, will
explain in his talk Saturday morn.
Ing the important influence these
boys have on the membership.

Four States Reduce
Highway Diversions
Wartime Conditions Forcing Many to Protect Funds
Serious Drop in Gas Taxes One of Chief Factors

way funds have been reduced sub
stantially In recent years.
1.-THE need for protecting declin-
ing highway revenues and the move
ment to build up postwar reserves
in their highway funds were i'm.
portant considerations in the record
number Of laws curtailing diversion
passed In 1913. The successful ex-
perience Of the IA states which have
amended their constitutions to pro-
tect their road funds also had O
bearing.
"some Of this experience goes
back % years. Minnesota, in 1920,
was the first state to provide iron
clad protection for Its road funds,
followed by Kansas and Missouri IN
1928. In these states, as well as
In others since, the constitutional
protection Of the highway funds
has proved financially successful
and extremely popular with the
people"

New York, September "a. - More
legislation to prevent, abolish, OF
reduce the diversion Of highway
funds was passed during the first
six months Of 1913 than in any
similar period Of the past twenty
years, the Automobile Club Of
America reported today.
The pre-war trend toward the
protection Of highway funds was
accelerated, Elmer Thompson, secre-
tary Of the club, asserted, by war
time factors, chief Of which was the
serious drop In state gasoline taxes
and motor vehicle registration rec
ceiptS, which made protection OF
the remaining revenue essential
A second factor was the attempt OF
the states to be prepared financially
for the prompt resumption Of cur
rently halted highway improvement
programs just as soon as the war
Is over.
The club reports that the legisla.
latures Of four states, Connecticut
Maine, Pennsylvania, and Wash
ington, approved amendments x
their state constitutions to prohibit
the diversion Of state automotivE
taxes from highway purposes In the
future. In Maine and washington
the proposed amendments will he
placed before the voters for ratifica-
ton ct the 1914 general elections,
while passage by another legislature
Is required In Connecticut and
Pennsylvania before the amend
ments are submitted to the people
for their approval.
The legislatures Of Arkansas, In
diana, and washington enacted
statutes disseminating all diversions
from their highway funds, while in
four other states the legislatures
enacted laws substantially reducing
the amount Of highway fund money
that could be diverted into other
channels. These states included
Alabama, Delaware, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina.
I'm the past, 43 states have d.
verted automotive tax money from
their road funds" Mr.. Thompson
said, but In recent years there has
been o complete reversal Of this
policy by most Of these states. They
have discovered the use Of high
way tax money for other purposes
than roads is both economically
unsound and unpopular. The IN
creasing number Of tsates that have
eliminated or reduced their road
fund diversions Is the result.
To-day n states, including Cali
fornia, Colorado, Idaho. Iowa, Kan
sas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nevada, New Hampshire. North Da-
kota, Oregon, South Dakota, and
West virginia expressly prohibit d.
version Of highway funds in their
constitutions, and four other states
have taken the first step toward
amanding thei constitutions SINH
larly.
"An additional II states by statute
devote their automotive tax re-
ceipts exclusively to highway main
tenance, construction and debt
service on highway bonds. In five
states, although diversion still exists,

washington, D. G., Sept. 22.-The
rapid increase In child labor due
to war conditions throughout the
nation Is viewed with growing alarm
by the National Commission for the
Defense Of Democracy Through
Education now meeting IN executive
session at the National Education
Association headquarters here
prom the standpoint Of national
welfare the most productive and
the most important work children

Commission.
Last spring over two million
Young people from u to II years
Of age were working instead Of at
tending school and as schools open
this Fall q greater number Of with
drawals Is indicated, the commission
points out. with other labor
sources obviously untapped, the fact
that o number Of children out OF
school because Of legally issued work
permits has increased more than
four hundred per cent since 1910 Is
a real threat to the future Of this
country.
When they become IS years OF
age the majority Of our youth 90

production. Therefore, every ef.
fort should be made to give the
best possible education to every
youth until he has reached the
are of 10 years"
To assure young people their
rightful education, the Commission
strongly urges:

A Today continuance was granted
in the case Of Mahmet Tosun; VOL
colt milk dealer who was charged
with violating the milk control act
by making false statements In his
records on the prices paid to pro-
ducers. His counsel charged that
the milk control regulations are I'm.
reasonable and oppressive and with
the constant changes and additions
on technical details q dealer has
difficulty in complying. He stated
that the law allows the dealer to
make certain deductions from the
legal price and that was why the
price paid by Tosum did not corre-
spond to that submitted to the state
milk commission. His lawyer, VIII
