Safety First Taught.
They learned there are two schools

stick an open safety pin into the

a baby's head or slip his clothes on
from the top; not to wash baby's
mouth or to thrust bottle into his
mouth and then leave the infant

least one hand.

Just let it ring" Mrs. Kirwan

A dozen bright-eyed little girls
in Arlington County are preparing
earnestly these days for the pro-
fession Of "sitters."
Every Saturday, these youngsters
Of IL and 13, all members of the
Potoma Group Of the Campfire
Girls, meet at st. Mary's Episcopal
Church, North Twenty-sixth street
and Glebe road, to absorb more of
the fascinating lore connected with
minding babies while the parents
trot off to the movies or an evening
of bridge.
Between classes the girls spend
some of their time 'interning"-
trying out what they've learned on
some handy baby in the neighbor-
hood. Besides taking six classes,
the girls must put in 20 hours of
practice on a real baby, including
six hours of child washing and an
other six hours in preparing his
food and feeding him.
No Fees Accepted.
During the course the girls may
accept no fees. When they have
completed the training they will be
given certificates as sitters. After
that, they're on their own.
The sitters' course is the first one
attempted in,the Metropolitan area.

culture Department and Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and was
brought to Arlington by arrange
ment of Mrs. Marguerite Hamlin,
county agent. Mrs. Mary lizard is

will be extended to other communi-
ties around Washington.
The girls yesterday took their
fourth lesson-bathing and dress

thing except baby. A doll was used
instead.

Lawmakers Search
For Ways 10 LEI Draft
Expire on May IS
BY the Associatsd Press

A hunt for ways to permit halt
to the draft on May Is began yes
terday on Capitol Hill.
The draft act expires then and
although President Truman has
asked for its continuance many leg
islators would like to avoid that.
The search for some substitute
was touched of by a proposal of
Chairman Vinson of the House
Naval Affairs Committee.
He told newSmen he will intro
duce this week a bill to create spe-
cial occupation army Of 800, 900 VOL
unteers. They would be obtained by
added inducements, including dou-
BILE pay, free transportation over
seas for their families and yearly
30-day furloughs.
See Army Fight on Plan.
Several members of the House
Military Committee, which will con-
slider the legislation, said immedi-
ately that they doubted that Mr..
Wilson's measure would be adopted.
They said the Army would fight
the plan vigorously.
The legislators said, however, that
sentiment for abolition of the draft
is running high and they think
something will have to be done to
end it soon, If not on May IS.
They agreed that some of Mr..
Wilson'S recommendations might be
incorporated into a committee bill
dealing with the subject.
1--WE already have passed legisla-
ton offering some added induce
ments for service" Representative
Thomason, Democrat, of Texas, told
a reporter. This has speeded up
volunteering. But perhaps we will
have to enlarge these inducements.
We don't want to have to continue
selective service any longer than
necessary"
Call for Added inducements.
Representative Harness, Republi-
can, of Indiana, commented that II
think the draft will be halted on
May IS, and it's been my ideal all
along that if we just offer the men
enough they will volunteer in suff1-
cient numbers to give us an adequate
force"
Representative Kilday, Democrat
of Texas, said "it will be practically
impossible to keep drafted men
overseas much longer, and we will
have to do something to avoid this"
He added that maybe Mr.. Vinsoa
has some of the answers"
Mr.. Vinson told newsmen that If
his plan is adopted soon there will
be no need to continue the draft"
He added that the people are against
keeping it. He said if necessary, it
might be continued for a month or
two while his program got under
way.
The Navy is going to have its
force of 100000 volunteers by next
September easily enough, so the
Army ought to be able to do so too
if we offer enough inducement," Mr.
Vinson said.

Funeral services for William A.
Van Duzer, "a, will be held at 10 am.
tomorrow at st. Adams Episcopal
Church, Wisconsin and Massachu-
sets avenues NV. Burial will take
place Tuesday at Shiremanstown,
Pa. Is miles from Harrisburg.
Mr.. Van Duzer, director of motor
vehicles and traffic here for nearly
Is years, died early yesterday at
Doctors Hospital after an illness OF
several months. He lived at 2640
Forty fourth street NV.
A native of Jefferson, Ohio, Mr.
Van Duzer became traffic director
here July /, 1881, after more than
25 years with the Pennsylvania
State Highway Department. During
his term of Office here he made ex-
tensive studies of traffic problems
presented by the circles and dag
onal avenues. He was instrumental
in designing routes for traffic pass
ing through the city and was an
early advocate of staggered paydays
and hours of work for Government
employees as devices to ease rush
hour and payday traffic jams in the
downtown area.
In May, 1912, he was named ad-
ministrator Of defense transporta-
ton for the District by the Commits
sioners.
The Executive Committee of the
Keystone Automobile Clubs advi-
sorry Board issued the following
statement on Mr.. Van Duzer's
death:
"The death of Mr.. Van Duzer
comes as a great shock to us. Hav-
ing worked very closely with him
during his career as director OF
vehicles and traffic for the District
we had come to regard him as one
of the country's outstanding traffic
engineers.
He was true friend of the mo-
torist. We found him always courte-
Gus, open minded and fair. He was
recognized as national leader in
pedestrian protection. Numerous
other of his accomplishments have
been of great benefit to traffic move
ment. He will be difficult to replace
and he will be missed by all of us
who enjoyed close association with
him."
Mr.. Van Duzer is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Nerissa Van Duzer; a
sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Bulfinch
Conneaut, Ohio, and a brother
Clarence Van Duzer, Cleveland.
