only part of the institute held
for high school administrators and
teachers Monday
Ralph Andrews, director Of driv-
err education in the division of in
struction service of department
public instruction, was the state
representative of that division at
tending this institute. Ronald Ho-
cult, director division h i G h W a y
safety, represented t h at depart
'ment. This institute was held I'M
der the direction of the following
four departments: division high
way safety of department motor

ice of department OF public in

state school board, and the divi-
sion of Negro education of the de-
partment of public instruction in
cooperation with the pre-induction
branch Of the Fourth Service Com
mand of the army and the quar-
termaster generals office.
These divisions representing the
army, driver education and public
instruction. are striving toward two
main goals: namely, prepare boys
for army driving and prepare boys
and girls for civilian driving, thus
saving human life.
If boy completes this course,
he will shorten his basic training
of this type by two weeks when
he enters the army.
According to Mr.. Hocutt OF the
safety division mo e people in
United States were killed on high
ways than the 80 battle fronts dur
ing this present war, in spite OF
the restricted driving. In the year
of the big England blitz they killed
less than this country had killed
in automobiles in the same time.
These figures point to the need
for better driving. This driving
course, which is being introduced
now or at the beginning of the
second semester in most schools,
will help remedy this evil.

0DT TO ENFORCE
FREEZE ORDER
No Gasoline AIlotments AL
lowed For Extension
OF Routes.

TheWilnington District Office Q
Defense Transportation will rigid.
enforce the October Is freeze order
by which ODT Officials are pro
hibited from allowing gasoline al
lotments for extension of trucl
routes or creation of new routes
it was announced today by q. L
Musselman, District ODT manag
er.
Mr.. Musselman explained thal
three amendments to General ODl
orders, which became effective Oc-
tober Is, make it impossible 1or d
trucker. to operate in territory Oh
over any route over which he dlo
not operate prior to the e1fectlVe
date Of the order. This, ne e2-
planned, effects both persons gong
into new business and persons WISH
ing to. extend or change their pres
ent routes or territories.
The three amendments, he salo'
were Amendment four to obi Cen
eral Order three, relative to com
mon carriers of property, Amend
ment one to ODT General Order
ga relative to motor carriers OF
property, and Amendment SIX to
ODT General Order II, also re-
lative to motor carriers OF prop
erty.
Mr.. Musselrnan said his office
receives daily large numbers OF ap-
peals for additional gasoline from
operators of commercial vehicles
who desire to extend routes opera
ted before October Is and also
large numbers of applications from
new operators of vehicles who de-
sire to begin new motor truck op-
erations.
He also recommended that per-
sons planning to buy motor equip
ment for new or extended opera
tons consult ODT officials prior to
making such purchases to ascer-
tain if they will be able to secure
gasoline allotments for the opera
tons they desire to inaugurate or
extend. Such action, he said, will
save much lost motion for truck
ers who otherwise may find it
necessary to sell trucks for which
they are unable to obtain gaso-1
line
The only exception of the three
amendments, which became eff
fective October Is, are made in
the case of applicants doing a di-
rect war job or who can make out
a sufficiently strong case to prove
that the new or extended operation
is vital to civilian economy. In
most instances it is extremely
difficult for an operator to make
out a sufficiently strong case.
Shortage of tires and motor
equipment necessitated the freeze
order, Mr.. Musselman said, as there
are only sufficient tires and equip
ment available to prevent the COM
plete breakdown of present opera
tons, and neither tires nor motor
equipment, are available to take
care of new truck operations.
Mr.. Musselnan pointed out fur
Their that Amendment BIB to ODT
General Order II, which became
effective September II required
that every motor carrier on or
prior to October II should establi-
sh, within the territory served at
that time by each unit of such
motor carrier, delivery areas or
delivery routes that were neither
duplicating nor overlapping and
that such carrier should prepare
and currently maintain an approp-
riate, map showing the routes so
established or the territorial limits
of such delivery areas for each
operating unit.

Crippled Colombian Girl
Leaves for Warm SPRINGS

Carmen Uribe, 12-year- -old Colom-
bian victim of infantile paralysis,
was scheduled to fly to Georgia
today. bound for War Springs Foun-
dation, with Walter E. Hammond,
Tariff Commission Mineral expert,
who brought her to this country.
They were to have left yesterday.
but were requested by the State
Department to wait until a tele-
phone call could be received by Basil
O'Connor, chairman of the National
Infantile Paralysis Foundation in
New York, who had been queried
the night before by the Department
on financial arrangements.
Mr.. O'Connor was said by the
State Department to have agreed to
have the foundation underwrite the
cost of treatment at Warm Springs,
but suggested since the girl had not
been examined in this country she
should be taken to the Naval Hos
pital at Bethesda, Md, to determine
whether Warm Springs was the
proper place to send her.
1t was said at the State Depart
ment that the examination indi-
Gated that she should be sent there.
Mr.. Hammond was also informed
that if another year had elapsed
before beginning treatment. 1t would
have been too late to restore the
use OF the girls legs. both of which

Health and Education
In Nursery Schools
Stressed at Farley
Experts Are Advised Not
To Let important Work
Bog Down in TechnicoIities

Nursery school experts must not
become so fascinated with their
own technical problems that they
forget the general health and educa-
tion demands of children in their
care, 1t was emphasized yesterday
at the conclusion of an all-day COLI
ference on child care at the De-
partmental Auditorium.
Mrs. Rose Alchuler of the Fed
eral Public Housing Authority told
day care workers from cities along
the Eastern .seahoard that mere
opening Of more nursery schools did
not solve many childhood difficulties.
Nursery school experts must work
with the parents and other educa-
tion experts, she warned, instead of
operating as though other agencies
did not exist"
Even the term children of war
working mothers" annoys Mrs.
Alchuler. She declared that any
"war-impacted family" should oe
eligible for day care whether the
mother has strictly war job" or
not. Miss Lillian de Lissa, child
care expert from England, empha-
sized the same difficulty OF deciding
which mothers were doing the most
essential work"
We use the case worker ap-
proach too much" Mrs. Alchuler
said. I'VE need the cooperation OF
parents and other educators too"
The District, for example, she said.
could support widespread health
and advisory" program as well as
Its regular day and nursery schools.
Expense of providing care for
their children under 2 years of age
sometimes keeps mothers from en-
tering their older children in the
four new District day-care centers.
Miss Dorothy Pearse, District di-
rector, said.
Public school centers do not take
children under 2 years. Private fees
for care of these children are "verv
high, she said. BY the time MANY
mothers have paid the private fees
for these children. she said. they
often cannot afford to pay the 81
to So fee for care of their children
over 2 at the public school centers.

First Offender
May Face Trial
In Health Case
Grocer's Forfeiture
Leeds to Move
For Policy Change

Further clarification of the Health
Departments policy in dealing with
food operators who violate health
regulations was expected today fol-
lowing the forfeiture of collateral
yesterday by grocer charged.
among other things, with having
broken glass in both meat cases.
Under the announced Health De-
partment policy. first offenders are
usually allowed to forfeit. All others
must stand trial. If the first Of
fense. however. is fragrant, attach
ments may be issued for the de-
fendant's court appearance.
Yesterday, Ellis Levy, operator Of
grocery at 1918 North Capitol
street, forfeited $25 when he failed
to appear in Municipal Court for
trial. According to Health Depart
ment Inspector John Waldron, this
was the first charge placed against
the grocer.
Mr.. Waldron said he would confer
today with DR.. Reed Ashworth,
food inspector. regarding possible
action to be taken to insure Mr..
Levy's appearance in court. A plan
for co-ordinated action between the
Health Department and the corpo-
ration Counsers Office to bring flag
rant violators to trial will be dis
cussed, 1t was learned.
Other charges against the grocery
were: Maggots on meat block and in
back of meat cases, garbage on floor,
flies, bad odors.
Elmer Howerton, operator of q
restaurant at 929 Tenth street NV,
was fined s25 by Judge John p.
Mcmahon on a health violation
charge. Charges against the es-
tablishment were: Dirty floors and

Canning Plants Suffer
As Woman Workers
Quit 10 Avoid Tax
Many Walk Awoy From
Jobs After Earning
$l2 Weekly Puy

BALTIMORE, Aug. 14.-The re-
fusal Of many women to work after
they have earned $l2 weekly, to
avoid payment of the withholding
tax, has resulted in many Eastern
Shore packers being forced to sell
Northern professors tomatoes they
can't handle because of the labor
shortage.
Frank Shook of Easton, secretary
of the Tri-State Packers Associa-
ton, said many of the plants on the
Shore were so short-handed they
couldn't handle the "glut" of to-
matoes now pouring in from acre
age for which the Gamers con-
tracted
Most of the women who come
into the canneries to work during
the peak Of the canning season
and on whom we rely to get out the
scheduled pack of goods won't earn
more than 1924 in a season. they
submit to their Bosses" Mr.. Shook
said.
They protest the Withholding OF
20 per cent on the weekly sums
earned in excess of $12," he con-
tinued, "and rather than submit
many Of the women stop work as
soon as their pay in any week runs
to that figure"
Mr.. Shook said further that, with
the husbands of many of the women
earning big pay in war plants and
military Establishments, there was
not much incentive for many of the
part time female workers to take
packing house jobs.
Meanwhile, shortage of tomato
peelers was reported by several Bal
timore plants. and shortages of male
workers to unload power boats which
brought full cargoes of tomatoes
from Maryland and Virginia points
to water-slde canneries in Baltimore
also was reported.
Tomatoes were reported as piling
up on wharves at several Virginia
points because boats could not be
unloaded and turned about in time
to pick them up.
