School Board Sets
DeadIine for Endinq
OF Doctor Deficiency

The Board of Education will give
two weeks to the Health Depart
ment to put two more doctors on
the staff inspecting school children.
Then, If no action is taken, it will
carry its six-week- complaint
about the medical care given its
pupils to the Commissioners for
correction.
Thls decision was reached by the
board yesterday at the third con-
secutive meeting at which the alb
sences among the school doctors
and nursing staffs have. been heat
edly discussed. Early in December
the board took notice of the vacan-
cies-2 among 20 doctors and about
Is among l42 nurses. Then it COM
planned to the Health Department.
Now school officers have been in
structed to work closely" during
the next two weeks with health Of
ficials to improve the general medi-
cal coverage of the public schools.
To Report Next Meeting.
Robert L. Haycock, superintendent
of schools, will report at the next
meeting January II whether he feels
progress" has been made. If it has
not, Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, pres
ident. said the board will report the
situation to the Commissioners for
consideration, possibly as a budget
item"
DR.. Robert A. Maurer, board vice
president. warned fellow members
that harmony" with the Health
Department must be maintained
and urged them not to nag the de-
partment about a shortage for
which it is not responsible. DR..
James A. Cannon. physician men,
Der of the board. has declared that
he feels the services will be ade-
quate once the vacancies are filled.
DR.. George c. Rutland, health
officer, replying to the boards COM
plant, wrote that the medical in
spection, in his opinion, never would
be satisfactory until teachers were
trained to recognize medical symp-
toms and report them to the depart
ueIlt LOT COTreCtlOn.
Asks for Volunteers.
DR.. Rutland yesterday revealed
he had asked the Red Gross for VOL
unteers to aid the school medical
inspection staff.
He proposed that persons with
basic flrst-aid training volunteer for
the work. They would be expected
to give screening" tests of pupils
for an hour at the beginning of
school, after taking a brief course
given by the Health Department on
recognizing symptoms of common
diseases.
The one vacancy in the medical
inspection staff may be filled this
month. The general public nursing
service-which serves the schools
is short ~ nurses.
Jere j. Crane, assistant superin-
tendent in charge OF buildings, told
members after the meeting that ice
on the streets and labor shortage
have greatly decreased coal supplies
in public schools, enabling them to
keep only one days supply ahead.
More bad delivery days might force
some schools to close for a time, he
said. On the other hand, continued
good weather will enable ofiicials
to build up reserve supply, he said
Oswald Bartram, superintendent of
custodians, has reported that be-
cause of the coal shortage any extra
night activity should be stopped,
Mr.. Crane said. The board decided,
however, to let the Navy use three
rooms at the Bell Vocational School
three nights week for training
personnel.

selections at The Hecht Co. =. that great store

Yes, the war is over. But there's more to
it than that Remember it took a little while
to get the tanks and planes rolling? The same
thing is true now with civilian goods. It takes
time to set up the machinery, time to spin the
nylon thread time to dye it, time to weave it
into stockings and still more time to make shin
ments to all the stores throughout America"

That would hardly be feasible, dear, be-
cause there are several hundred thousand
women IN Washington anxiously waiting for
nylons, and we couldn't begin to fill ali the
orders we would accumulate for quite some
tune. We believe the fairest plan is to place
on public sale all the nylons we get as soon as
they arrive on first-come, frst-served basis,
ana we are confident women will be glad to
unit their purchases in the beginning know
for everybody"

Warning Given Car
Owners For Coming
Summer Months

Unless car owners take it upon
themselves to give immediate and
constant attention to their batter
les, many vehicles may be forced
out of service within the next few
months, according to a warning
sounded by E. T. Foote, president
of the american association of bat
terry manufacturers. He placed new
and pointed emphasis on the fact
the increased military requirements
have greatly curtailed production
of storage batteries for civilian use.
To prevent unnecessary inter
ruption of the nation>s vital war
time automotive transportation sys-
TEN, Mr.. Foote urged every car
owner to take action at once by
having his battery checked and
serviced by a reliable battery ser
vice station. He stressed the ne
cessity of having batteries checked
at least once a month, and in ex-
tremely warm climates or seasons,
twice a month.
AS another caution against pre-
mature battery failure, Mr.. Foote
urged car owners to beware OF
