nue. near the Navy Department
Shortly afterward he was charged
with disorderly conduct because
police said, he used loud and pro-
fame language in protesting the
ticket. He has posted IS collateral
on the disorderly charge, which also
is still pending.
On August l, when the case had
been marked forfeited" Mr.. Hum
phries appeared in court and pre-
vailed upon Judge Fennell to have the
forfeiture set aside. The case was
continued week and since then
has been postponed for various rea-
sons. including Mr.. Humphries' being
in the wrong court when his name
was called. One day the pressure of
court business was such that it was
too late to hear his case and on an
other occasion the arresting officer
was i'll.

another continuance because, he
said, his attorney was out of town.

Only One Try
Another in series OF jogs for

The driver of car A pulled out
from the curb without signaling and
was struck on the left front fender
by car B, ripping off CIR AS fender
Car B kept on going, thinking right
eously that the accident was not
his fault. Should the driver of car
B have:
l. Called his insurance firm as
soon as he got home?
2. Stopped. and bawled out the
driver of car A?
8. Stopped and exchanged names
addresses with driver A, given as
sistance If needed and then called
a policeman?
4. Forgotten all about it because
it was the other motorists fault?
Answer 8 is correct. Section 90
paragraph (a), of the traffic and
motor vehicle regulations gives a
definite procedure for motorists to
follow when they strike and dam
age property, or injure someone. The
regulation states in part:
ANY person operating a vehicle
who shall injure any person or do
substantial damage to property and
fail to stop and give assistance to-
gether with his name, place of resi-
dence. and the name of the owner
of the vehicle to the person injured

request such information, then he
shall report the information re-
quired to policeman or police sta

Welfare Board Will Check Up
On Children Left at Nurseries

The Board of Public Welfare,
which reluctantly inherited the

scrutinize operations of the centers
to be sure parents aren't unload
ing" their children on the District
This was made clear yesterday
by three board members at the
boards regular meeting after the
group had approved new scale OF
fees for care at the centers.
Board Member Fred S. Kogod said
he believed "lot of parents are try
ing to get their children of their
necks."' He said the board wanted
to know if parents were bringing
their children to the centers at 7
am. "just to unload them"
Mr.. Kogod also said he wanted
to look into the earning capacities
OF the working members of family.
Morris Wants Checkup.
Chairman Edgar Morris. empha
sizing that the board didn't ask
for the child day care program and
IN fact opposed it, said he wanted
ito find out lot about parents who
bring their children to centers at
7 am. and don't call for them until

A. J. Driscoll who said he had
visited two Of the centers since the
board was given jurisdiction of them
last month, said he had found some
OF the children were brought to the
centers without breakfast.
I'm not opposed to giving the
children food" he said, "but think
parents should take the responsible
ity for giving children breakfast. ]
don't think we should give parents
the idea we're taking the full re.
sponsibility."

Handicap Classification Defined.
When board members questioned
Miss Lewis on families with a SIS, 900
income, she said there were some
$1,000 income families during the
war when the only test was whether
or not the mother was working in
the war effort. Since March, how
ever, the test has been financial
need, she said, and most Of the
Evening star., 1946-08-27

high income families have been
eliminated.
Since the law under which the
board is administering the child
care program permits admission to
the centers on the basis of financial
need and handicaps, the board also
approved definitions of handicaps
which would entitle families to day
car.
These handicaps included cases
where mothers are the sole support
of their children; where the moth
er's care is lost by illness, death,
divorce or separation; where severe
marital conflict" makes it necessary
for the mother to work: where
fathers are alcoholic or otherwise
incapable of holding a full-time
job; where fathers work nights and
children would interfere with their
daytime sleep: where over crowded
housing hinders the child's proper
development; where the fathers are
veterans taking training or hos
pitalized, and where families are in
complex and difficult social sit
uation' which would jeopardize the
welfare of the children If day care
was denied them.
To Take Up Survey.
At the meeting Mr.. Morris called
attention to the social survey pre-
pared by a 67-member committee

in which an autonomous welfare
board was recommended. Mr.. Nor

board members and announced his
intention to put the survey on the
