Defense Work
DeepensCriisis
In Parking Here
Hopes for Dispersal
Had Ended Projects
To Ease Situation

Defense activities have aggra-
waited the parking crisis here, ac-
cording to the annual report Of
the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic to the Commissioners.
Early indications that a Federal
dispersal and decentralization
program would be approved had
a bad effect on active parking
projects, it said.
Then, after the proposal failed
to be approved, parking demand
intensified and parking projects
already scheduled for development
were killed or delayed. the city
heads were told.
The report explained that many
old buildings, some of them vacant
since World War II, and being
considered for demolition for
parking use. now have been leased
as office space.
Projects Halted.
Many projects were brought to
a halt by a National Production
Authority order of last January.
and bids for redevelopment Of the
Western Market are indefinitely
postponed because of the materials
situation, it was noted.
/ Net parking gains during the
fiscal year ended June 80 totaled
an estimated $500 additional
spaces. but 10000 more spaces are
needed for the goal of $4,000 park
ing spaces, according to the fig
ureS.
The Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency staff has worked with de-
jvelopers of new designs. The re-
port promised that more would
be heard of at least three new ap-
proaches to parking projects when
pilot models are completed later
this summer.
Private Enterprise Helped.
The report said that during the
year, the agency continued to fol-
low the basic policy of helping
private enterprise in the develop
ment of off street parking facil-
tiles. But its chairman, Charles
M. Upham, has advised the Com
missioners the time has come for
the city to assemble land for park
ing use under provisions of the
Parking Act. This was intended
as a supplementary measure.
Automcb bile registration in
creased 6.356 during the year to
reach the all-time high of 208,727.
Issuance of new drivers permits
and learners permits did not keep
pace with rising registrations.
however. A total of 30,468 new
permits and 36,041 learners per-
mits were issued as compared
with 3,243 new and 40,727 learn
ers' permits issued a year ago.
Permit Renewal Increase.
The number of drivers permits
renewed increased from 66,231 in
the previous fiscal year to 83,741
last year
Revocation and suspension OF
drivers permits increased from
6,278 to 7,051. i
/ Forty nine per cent of the 3l6,-
i743 vehicles inspected during the
year were rejected on initial in
spection.
The District received the Out
standing Achievement Award
given by the Institute of Traffic
Engineers for it's accomplishments
in traffic engineering control, the
report noted.
Over one million feet of street
painting for the guidance and
control of traffic was accom-
Iplished during the fiscal year as
compared with $4,000 feet in the
previous fiscal year.
Approximately 1000 additional
parking meters were installed dur
ing the year.

Pioneers in Teaching Profession in Our Town
MISS MUKAI AT MADRONA, MISS SUGURO AT BAIL
PROVE TO BE EFFICIENT SCHOOL MARMS

erintendentS of schools all over the
state. For instance, at Wapato,
where Nisei we're evacuated during
the past war and where feelings
we're quite high, the superintendent
of schools there personally asked
for Ben Yorita. Ben is now the chief
librarian at the high school.
Also, Professor Bechtolt revealed
that Yuki Ideta was elected to the
teaching staff at Gle Elm High
School, where she is now teaching
art He felt that the Nisei had g
wonderful crew of pioneers paving
the way for a new professional
field. Furthermore, he stated that
'if a student has good academic
qualities and the personality for
teaching, there is no reason why a
Nisei should hesitate majoring in
education at college"
Right now, the best teaching
opportunities are at the pre-
school and primary levels. This
is due to the high birth rate dur
ing the war. Opportunity at the
secondary level is relatively poor
because there is an excess of high
school teachers. This would be
true for all candidates regardless
of their background. The students
in high school now represent those
who were born during the latter
part of the depression when birth
rates were low.
The underlying note of this arti-
Gle has been the new professional
horizon now visible to the non
whites. 1t may be appropriate to add
here that the many students who
come under the supervision and in
fluence of these new teachers have
something to be happy about also
And in the final analysis, it is not
just the school officials, nor the
new teachers, nor the students who
have gained-it is an idea, one that
is dear to all of us, that has gained
the most significant victory in this
experiment.

tenn feels confident in hiring all
additions to the staff purely on
the basis of qualification. That
is, Nisei, for example, will be
considered for teaching vacancy
along with any other applicant,
and the basis of selection will be
the particular qualification need
ed for the vacancy.
Asked If teachers would be hired
according to the proportion of stu
dents of their own group who are
enrolled, Miss Jackson emphatical-
ly stated that there was no such
plan. In fact, it would be impossible
to carry on such a plan because the
Seattle school system no longer
carries statistics on the basis of
race or national origin. And it was
added that placement of teachers
are on the basis of vacancy and
the qualification of the applicant.
Therefore, Miss Mukai teaches at
Madrona where there are hardly
any Nisei student, and Negro is
teaching at Gatewood in West Sc
attic where there are no Negro stu
dents.
Miss Jackson felt that the success
of the program thus far has been
the careful policy of not pushing
things too fast. that is, beyond a
reasonable adjustment probability
by the public Children cannot be
expected to do problems in calculus
before a necessary amount of ex-
posure and preparation. Neither can
adults be expected to adjust to a
new social idea without a certain
amount of preparation and only in
certain size capsules" The quiet ex-
pectation of acceptance was ano-
ther important factor. Miss Jackson
felt. You can invite trouble by ex-
pecting and preparing for it,"
At the University of Washing
ton College of Education, DIR. John
CORDIALLY, head of the Cadet Teach
ing Department, says he has
found no difficulty in placing
students as cadets. But he anti
cipated more difficulty at the pre-
sent time for nom whites to be
elected TO the teaching staff, fol-
lowing their training program.
Professor Bechtolt, in charge of
placement, generally concurred with
DR.. Corbally's opinions. But he add
ed that interesting and encouraging
requests come from the various sup

Ry GoRDoN HIRABAYAsHI

Lily Mukai and Clare Suguro, pio-
neers in a professional field that
is new to the Nisei, are on the
teaching staff of the Seattle Public
School System this year. Miss Mu-
kai, a University of Washington
alumnus, has class of second
graders at Madrona. and Miss Su-
guro, at her own request, is teach
ing class of first graders at Bailey
Gatzert. Glare Suguro is Seattle
University graduate.
Until this year Nisei have gone
as far as office work in the school
system but never on the teaching
staff. The question comes up as
to why this new opportunity, es-
peciaIly so close to the period
when Nisei were totally excluded
from the west coast.
There has been a carefully plan
ned program of hiring members of
other groups" relates Dorothea
Jackson, one of the placement Of
ficials of the elementary school de-
partment. 1t was felt by the Seattle
school officials that some positive
steps must be taken if the students
are to experience various aspects of
democracy.
Accordingly, a long term plan OF
introducing members of non-white
groups TO the teaching staff was
introduced Particular care was
made on the selection of the first
one, as we'll as the seven others now
on the staff, because anything but
an excellent example may put this
program several years in reverse
Miss Jackson is highly pleased
that the experiment has turned
out successfully. In fact, it has
been better than expected. Now in
the third year Of the plan, there
are five Negroes, two Nisei, and
one Chinese teaching in various
districts of Seattle. Because these
additions to the teaching staff
proved to be so capable, and pO-
pular with students, Miss Jackson
states that now the school sys-

TRAFFIC VOLUME
STUDY PLANNED

The division of traffic engineer
ing is planning to conduct a study
to determine the 24-hour traffic
volume on all through streets with
in the city limits. The first studies
will be made in January and will
be conducted annually thereafter.
The information obtained will be
used for planning traffic routing
and zoning ordinances as we'll as
for improvement and construction
of roads. The recent receipt of six
automatic, self-recording traffic
counters makes possible the volume
study. Pervious traffic volume
studies have been made with hand
counters. :s * i: The traffic cOun-
ters are housed in metal containers
one foot square and two feet high
and are activated by vehicles pass
ing over attached rubber hoses
which extend across the roadWays.
The counters record hourly traffic
volume variations continuously for
u hours. The six machines cost
1892, provided for in the current
budget.

st. Louis (NNPA) = Lack of
adequate disciplinary and admin
istrative supervision contributed to
the incident at Special School No.
4, in which a 15-year-old student
was shot to death last November
26 by two other youths.
This charge was made at the
Board of Education meeting last
Tuesday night by David M. Grant,
attorney and spokesman for the
Citizens Protest Committee on
ve1crowding in Negro F:ublic
Schools.
Grant said the principal of the
school where David Brooks was
killed in a corridor by two former
students also has charge of two
other schools. In consequence he
could not devote enough time to
maintain order at the special
school, which is for mentally re-
tarded colored children from all
parts of the city, Grant declared.

berta Myers in honor of
her husband, Mr.. r. B.
Myers.

of happiness will come into life to
compensate for our many tribula-
