to be detained, and he also emphasiz-
ed the need of having special police
officers who are trained in handling
juvenile cases.
Following the Judges talk and
brief remarks by others who were
present, the Mayor and Council"
settled down to their own discus
sion, and then the following two mo-
tions were made and passed unan-
imously: that the city provide adj
equate detention headquarters for
juveniles, and that a police officer
preferably married), and also a
woman police officer, be trained and
then assigned to the handling of all
juvenile cases that come up.
This is one of the finest things
that has been done locally in giving
youth a voice in our government,
and hope it will be carried out by
other youth organizations from time
to time

individuals, as well as many, many
organizations are making their own
plans for some Safety programs.
This has been happening for long
time Some states are now working
Safety programs on a state wide
basis. I believe that Maryland is
planning something of this nature
for the future.
l have been in close touch with the
National Safety Council, and with
the assistance we can get from them,
if we would all put forth our efforts
in an organized manner, we can have
Safety on a year round basis, with
well planned programs, in which
every man, woman and child can
assist, as individuals, to say nothing
of the fine things we can accom-
plish with all organizations and in
dustries working for a common goal
COMMUNITY SAFETY.
After consulting with different in
terested persons, 1 asked and secur-
ed the consent of the following men
to act as a Steering or Executive
Committee for a Community Safety
Council: Mr.. A. j. Macdonald, Chair
man; Mr. William c. Diehl, Mr..
John M. Miller, Mr.. Mark K. Mil
Ter, Mr. E. Lester Mobley, Jr., Mr..
Stewart Phillips and MIR. Douglas S.
Wright.
They met last week to set up COM
mittees, and to start plans for their
program, so that they will be in po-
sition to clear all suggestions that
are presented to them.
If all persons or groups, as well
as organizations will present their
problems, as well as their programs
to this Council, we believe that it
will correlate efforts, avoid wasted
time, due to applications, and thus
enable this Council to function
month in and month out, through
out the year, and be most beneficial
to our Community. Address your
suggestions to Mr.. A. F Macdonald,

In an effort to bring about a
Safety Program that will embrace
every phase of Home, City and Coun-
ty Safety, Police Commissioner Ell
linger announced last week that he
has appointed A. F. Macdonald,
chairman of the Traffic Committee of
the Chamber of Commerce, to head
an Executive Committee which will
set up Community Safety Council.
The purpose of the Council, the
Commissioner stated, is to bring to-
gether the various organizations and
groups that are interested in a safe
ty program, thus avoiding duplica-
ton of work, and to appoint active
committees to get the program start
ed.
The text of the Commissioners
statement follows:
After spending many hours of
many days during a number of
months, working with a view of
planning a Safety Program in our
Police Department, it has developed
that what is needed is an over all
correlated program, not only for the
Police Department, but for every
phase of Home, City and County
Safety.
I have also been in touch with
people away from Hagerstown, and
find that nearly every City has the
same difficulties. When in Chicago
last fall, I found that Chicago has
a program which was then in eff
feet just a year. This was organized
by probably the most outstanding
figure in the Traffic field-Mr.
Franklin M. Kreml. l was present
when he presented facts and figures
showing the tremendous saving eff
fected after only one years opera
ton of their Safety Plan.
This is on a very large scale, and
while it is not necessary for us to
start that way, there definitely is
a need for some co-ordinated effort
here, as nearly everyone to whom
I talk is Safety conscious, and many

the unconscious cruelty of a little

Bob, eager to get married, is crushed
when the joy he wants is unattain-
able. He learned how to select a

which also allows him to express

Mayor Clarifies
ProcedureFor Bids
Executive Order Issued To All
Boards, Commissions And
Heads On Procedure For Flu
ture Purchases By City.

Mayor H. L. Mills announced on
Tuesday that he has issued an Ex-
ecutive Order to all Boards, Com
missions and Department heads of
the City, relative to the purchase of
all materials, supplies, or equipment,
required by such Boards, Commits
sions, or Department heads.
The Order followed a ruling, Civ
en- by City Attorney Francis H. Urn
err at the Mayors request, based on
Sections 4, AZ and 81 of the City
Charter.
The text of the Executive Order
follows:
"All materials, supplies or equip
ment required by your Department
will, unless otherwise directed by
the Council, be requisitioned from
the City Purchasing Agent on forms
which viii be supplied by him. Such
recommendations as you may care
to make may accompany the requi-
Sition. If supplies, materials or
equipment of specific manufacture
are requested, please supply an ex-
PLANTATION for the preference. The
Purchasing Agent will complete your
requisition through competitive bid
ding whenever practicable, subject
to the approval of the Mayor and
Council. This order is to take effect
at once"
The purpose of this order is to es-
tablish a clear policy concerning fu-
ture city purchases. The order is not
to be understood as disapproval of
any purchases heretofore recon-
mended or made by any of our City
Boards or Departments. l am sure
all departments share my intention
that the City government shall op-
crate in strict conformity with the
City Charter and with the sound
business practices our citizens eX-
pect. The city records show that city
purchases have been concluded in
general with awards to low bidders.
Exceptions have, and will continue
to occur, when sound collateral con-
siderations intervene. The excellent
and unselfsh service of our city's
Boards, Commissions and Depart
ments entities them to protection
from misunderstanding. This is ac-
complished when the responsibility
for awarding purchase contracts is
placed on the source the Charter
preScribes.
My decision in this matter is based
on a legal opinion l have obtained
from the City Attorney.

Red Cross Drive To

Campaign Headquarters VIII
Be Opened At ITO East Wash
ington Street-John Latimer,
Jr., Is Chairman OF Drive.

First details of the annual Red
Cross Roll Call in Washington Coun-
ty were made public last week in an
announcement from John A. Lati-
mer, Jr., general chairman, setting
the date for the 1850 Fund Drive;
stating the location of the campaign
office; and naming the fund secre-
tary and Office manager.
The drive will begin on Wednes-
day, March l, and will end on We'd
nesday, March 8, and will open with
kickoff dinner at the Hotel Alex
ander. It will thus closely follow
national Red Cross Sunday, which is
February 26.
Although the entire month of
March is designated as Roll Call
Month by the National Red Cross,
Mr.. Latimer said the local organiza-
ton prefers to concentrate its effort
in one week and complete its solici-
tation in that time.
Plans looking toward a speedy
and successful conclusion to the
drive have already been put under
way. The campaign Office has been
opened on the second floor at ITO
West Washington Street, and teIe-
phone installed - 5577.

ager, and she and half a dozen as
sistants - all volunteers - have be-
gun the pre-campaign organization
al work. AS the date of the drive
approaches, the office will be open
during full business hours daily.
The solicitation will be handled
through five major divisions Initial
Gifts, Commercial and Industrial
Clubs and Organizations, City anc
County. Heads of the various divi-
sions will be announced within E
few days.
Again this year, there will be nc
group solicitation among employees
of commercial or industrial organi.
cations.
i Experience last year proved thai
solicitation Of individual members al
their homes, rather than at thei1
place of employment, was far more
satisfactory to all, Mr.. Latimer said
ut eliminated instances of confusion
where residents in some cases were
solicited at their place of employ
ment and their wives were solicited
at home"
To avoid this duplication of solici
tation, there will be no group solici
tation of employees in any CONNER
cial or industrial establishment il
this 1850 Red Cross Roll Call.
Solicitation by the commercial ant
industrial division will get unde
way Immediately after meeting O
workers in that division to be hell
at noon today. Herbert E. Miner
Jr., has been named chairman o
the division.
At the meeting, Mr.. Miner will out
line plans for the divisions solicia
ton, and brief the four captains OF
their duties. The captains are Fred

Playground Areas
In F~rederiksted

Members Of the Parks and

ed the Playground areas in
Frederiksted yesterday to see
what could be done to improve
the baseball fields and also the
area known as the triangle
so that it could be used as a
softball field.
When the members arrived
several youths were volunta-
rily engaged in carrying gut
sand to the field while others
with shovels were trying to
improvise mounds and bases.
Removal of two trees are now
necessary, to make the field
uSaDle.
The baseball field is in poor
condition despite the efforts of
the youths who voluntarily
carved out a diamond" on the
field. The stalking out of ami
mails together with the making
of footpaths through the field
is making it difficult.
The Commission plans to
take the necessary steps to cor
rect these.
