ST. PAUL, A. NJ. e. CHURCH
Rev. B. A. GaItopdy, Pastor
Last Sunday morning the
pastor expounded wisdom on the
theme, Hear and Live" proving
the reality of God to any possible
doubter. The unity Of purpose
and heart were emphasized in
the night service, and the
thought that God grants prayer
in His way, not always your way.
The night service is growing, and
those who attend are receiving
something in the way of sur
prise in the informal get
together spirit exhibited by
pastor and congregation. The
choir continues to receive high
praise for It's efficient service,
and, last Sunday night, Eleazer
Wilkey was the lone bass, and he
did the part Of four men to per-
lection.

Issues Data On
1851 Plates

The Registrar Of Motor Vehicles.
Rudolph F. King, releases the fol-
lowing information with regard
to automobile number plates for
1851:
The 1949 automobile plates
which are now serving for the
second year will not be used aeajs
in 1851. Instead, we will return
to the normal system of a new
set Of plates each year, which we
believe to be the only practical
system for this state whe we
have compulso y liability insure
ance expiring each year on Dec.
81.
The 1851 plates have been
ordered and are now being manu-
featured. They will have white
figures on maroon background.
Almost all Of the 1851 plates will
be of the same design that we
are now using except for the
in color.
Cars owned by the state, cities
and towns which bear the letters
81, M, and "MDCD, and these
lhree classitications only, will be
issued 1851 plates Of uniform
jize in new design. This new
iesign viii be the same size as
Jur present four-figure plate. The
tate and year markings will be
It the ends of the plate instead
# top or bottom. When there are
more than three symbols, they
will be arranged in two rows, one
ibove the other. No change is
contemplated in the present kind
f registration numbers, but
merely in the Encouragement Of
hose numbers.
The 5000 81, "M'', "MDC"
,lates for 1851 will serve as a trial
4 the new design which, II found
satisfactory, may Their be ex-
ended. This trial Is being made
BECAUSE the new design offers
many advantages including saw
ngs in cost, sifnplified rnanufac-
ure. better Office storage and
handling, and improved attach
nent and display on the vehicle.

manners are in evidence with
most of the children.
Miss Bertha Taylor, assistant
director of special education, gives
a brief picture of the development
in the Nations Capital of the
work with crippled children, as
follows:
Through the years, organiza-
tions had become more and more
interested in providing medical
care and educational opportunities
for children who suffered from in
fantile paralysis, muscular dystro.
ply and other crippling condi-
tions. The schools recognized that
many of these children could not
function in regular schools, since
special equipment and special serv-
ices were needed.
First Glass in 1929.
TN 1929, the first classes fol
orthopedically crippled children
were opened at the Weightman
School. Physiotherapy. hot lunches
and bus transportation were pro-
vided for these children. In 1887
the Weightman School was dis
continued and the classes were
transferred to the Langdon School
In 1941, when the Health School
for Tuberculous Children was
abandoned, these classes for orth-
opedically crippled children were
transferred to the Health School
building. Today, this school is
filled to capacity with classes OF
seriously crippled children from
all sections of the city.
"The Health School," Miss Tay-
lor adds. is a school where Grip
pied children get individual atten-
ton. sympathetic understanding
and opportunity to overcome their
handicap"
The school is located at Thir-
teenth and Allison streets NV. II
is maintained by the District pub
lie school system, in cooperation
with the District Health Depart
ment. It Is housed in one-story
building. The school is devoted
exclusively to the education OF
crippled children between the ages
Of 6 and 18. 1t is open during the
regular school year from 8 am
to 3 pm.
