Falls Church
School Unsafe,
Groups Declare
Fire Escapes So Bod
Students Cont Use
Them, Parents Soy

The Falls Church School I'M
provement Association and the
Parent-Teacher Association have
charged the Fairfax County School
Board with negligence In carry
ing out the public trust placed in
it for safeguarding the lives of our
children" and protested further use
Of the Jefferson High School build
ing until it has been made safe
Asserting that efforts to have
the Jefferson building inspected by
school officials had failed, Mrs. Lee
johnson, representing the associa-
tions, told school board members
that a group of parents decided to
investigate the building and found
fire escape facilities grossly made
quate."
Mrs. johnson said school board
members admitted negligence and
agreed to provide additional fire ex-
tinguishers Immediately and to i'm
prove the fire escapes If plans were
approved by the State school archi-
tect.
School to Be Replaced.
According to present school board
plans, Jefferson School will be re-
placed next year as a high school,
by a new building now under con-
struction, and will then be used
for elementary school students.
Mrs. johnson said the Jefferson
building, constructed in 1878, has
three stories and two two-room an
nexes. She said some rooms have
no exits to halls, but open into
other rooms, and on the third fiooi
a 4-foot 4-inch wide hall leads
into a 5-foot 6-inch wide stairway
constructed of nonfireproof material
Fire escapes leading from the tor
floor, Mrs. johnson stated, can be
reached only through windows, the
sills of which are 3 feet, 8 inches
from the floor.
1t was necessary to stand on a
chair to unlock one exit window
she asserted. while the other exit
window was found to be nailed shut
Access to the first window, she
added, was further impaired by a
radiator below the window, while
a set of encyclopedias was found on
the ledge of the second window
with a bookshelf below.
Fire Escape Termed Unsafe"
Mrs. johnson said the fire escape
is narrow and steep, with the lower
end connecting to a swinging lad
der. When this ladder was pushed
up after the inspection" she said,
Its balance weight fell off, mar
rowly missing the head of one of
the inspectors"
Furthermore, she reported. the
school principal told investigators
that he did not permit children to
use the fire escape because he con-
sidered it unsafe.
In its request to the board for
fire extinguishers and improvements
In the building, before it is to be
used by younger children, the asso-
citation said:
1T transcends understanding why
1t is necessary for parents to make
this kind of an appeal. There can
be no reason for those who operate
our schools to permit this condition
Whatever the small cost may be fol
providing fire hazard protection, il
is paid by us as taxpayers. Conse-
quently, We can only believe that
those responsible have been negli.
gent in carrying out the public trust
placed in them for safeguarding
the lives of our children"

Refrigerator Makers
Get Permit 10 Fill
Essential Needs

The War Production Board last
night authorized the manufacture
of $4,000 household gas and elec-
trio refrigerators during the second
six months of this year to meet
military, hospital and other highly
essential civilian needs"
The industry does not look fol
production sufficient to distribute
refrigerators to the general public
through normal trade channels
until early in 1916, however, WIPE
said.
The units scheduled for produc-
ton starting July l will be added
to the present stockpile of about
$4,000 refrigerators, and carefully
doled out to essential users. Nc
units have been made since April
1912, at which time there was a
stockpile of 100000.
New Plants to Get Material.
In allotting materials under ar
AA-3 priority rating, WPB will see
that Is per cent of the total amount
of material authorized goes tc
manufacturers who have not pre-
viously made refrigerators but who
would like to participate in the
program. Former manufacturers
will receive the balance of MIA
terials.
Under a proposed change in the
WPB limitation order, prioritie.
assistance would be given only fol
materials needed to meet the WIPE
goal of 5000 refrigerators each
three months until 1916. If any
manufacturer is able to turn Out
refrigerators without WPB help, he
may do SO.
Another suggested change woulc
lift restrictions on repair parts anc
assign an AA-2 rating for theil
production.
Few Moderate-Pri Models.
WPB officials at an industry ad.
visory committee meeting last weel
requested cooperation of manufac'
turers in turning out popular pricee
models. Industry spokesmen saie
that until they reach the break ever
point only one or two moderately
priced models popular before th'
war would be produced.
Sufficient motors are expected tt
be available for the new units ane
such materials as sheet steel, while
still scarce, should be available
later this year, WPB said.
The industry committee recon.
mended that OPA conduct an in,
dustry-wide survey of manufac
turers' prewar production costs a
compared with present costs il
order to establish an equitable pric
| ing formula for new units.

Alexandria PTA Hits
Juvenile Court Bill
AS Disappointing

Criticism of the juvenile court bill
recently passed by the Virginia State
Legislature is expressed in a letter
from the Alexandria Parent Teach
er Council to organizations which
worked with it to obtain separate
Juvenile court for the city.
Mrs. Jameson Holway, chairman
OF the PTA Juvenile Protection
Committee, expressed the organiza-
tion's appreciation cooperation in
seeking Ito secure adequate laws
for the care and protection of
children and YOUTH" but added that
not only the PTA, but the repre-
sentatives of the Council of Social
Agencies. Medical Society and Min
isterial Association were bitterly
disappointed in the form of the
/ legislation.
Raps Two Proposals.
The letter pointed out that Del
egate w. Selden Washington and
State Senator Andrew w. Clarke
are giving us choice between
two plans which are highly politi-
cal; did not include in the bill any
plan which would have divorced the
court from politics; by-passed the
requirements for juvenile Judge
which are advocated by the National
Probation Association and the Chill
drenS' Bureau, and instead wrote
their own requirements, which will
exclude about nine-tenths of the
people who have been specially
educated and trained for juvenile
work"
Mrs. Holway referred to the fact
that representatives of those or.
ganizations had asked that the bill
provide a referendum on a plan tc
establish Juvenile Court commits.
sion on which medical, ministerial
legal, welfare and educational pro-
fessions would be represented. Thi.
commission would advise in the Sc.
lection of judge and work in ar
advisory capacity with the court.
The bill was further criticized fol
its provision that the civil and po.
| AASC JAa6C oAidll NC Vic SuUStlUuGk
judge of the court at salary ts
be fixed by the City Council, al.
though the State code provides fol
appointment of the substitute judge
by the Corporation Court judge or
recommendation of the juvenile
judge.
Judge Duncan Unopposed.
Mrs. Holway pointed out that the
present Civil and Police Court judge
James Reece Duncan, is unopposec
as candidate for the Democratic
nomination for a new term and i.
paid an annual salary of $4,000. If h.
is given the salary as substitute
juvenile judge, she added, it is pos.
Sible that he may receive more sal.
ary for doing less work than he doel
now as judge of both courts.
The bill provides that the juvenile
judge shall have practiced law fol
two years, but makes no provision,
for his qualifications either in so.
cial or juvenile case work.
Mrs. Holway said the committee
representing the Ministerial Asso.
citation, Medical Society, Council o1
Social Agencies and PTA will NEE,
this week and will make an officia
statement on the legislation.
