Shea Sees Substantial
Tax Saving in New
Girls Training School

Substantial savings to District
taxpayers are anticipated by
Gerard M. Shea, director, de-
partment of public welfare, in
the new National Training School
for Girls.
The $4,000 item, pending in
the District budget, is the first step
toward shifting the school to the
Children's Center at Laurel, Md.
1t would provide for architects
drawings. The Senate Appropria-
tions Committee last week ap-
proved this item. and the Senate
is expected to vote on it by the
end of the week, as it considers
the entire measure.
The National Training School
for Girls, now located at 5000
Loughboro road NV, is also
known as the Industrial Home
School for Colored Girls.
Mr.. Shea pointed out that the
taxpayers will benefit, not alone
in money, but in efficiency. when
the school is moved from it's
present inadequate quarters to
Laurel.
Sees Money Benefits.
Under the new program, Mr..
Shea declared, better administra-
ton can be assured. It will also
be better for the individual child,
he explained, who will have more
adequate program facilities and
recreation. Furthermore, better
feeding arrangements will be
made possible than those now
existing at Loughboro road, he
said.
At the Children's Center joint
medical, dental. psychiatric. hos
pital and other facilities will be
available. the director declared.
Now there is tremendous ex-
penditure of man hours, transpor-
tation facilities and other time
and money expenses, because the
school is located at such dis
tance. At Laurel all these Serv-
ices will be in one convenient
area, Mr.. Shea said.
At the existing National Train
ing School for Girls, Mr.. Shea
said there is an antiquated, dilap-
idated structure in the Lincoln
Building. The spending of any
money there. except what is abso-
lutely necessary. is waste of
public funds. Mr.. Shea asserted.
That is why it is so important
to get the $4,000 now, to begin
an orderly program of modern
ization. he said.
Provision for 80 Girls.
During the coming fiscal year,
provision has been made for Is
colored girls in the Lathrop Cot
tage, Is in the farm cottage and
40 in the Lincoln Building-a total
of 80 at the present site. he said.
Pending completion of the new
structure, Mr.. Shea said the Board
of Public Welfare proposes to
make the best possible use of
existing facilities. He said the
best plan available has been set
up. But he warned that, even if
this works out perfectly, there is a
lack of adequate recreational and
other facilities in the present area.
Furthermore, Mr.. Shea asserted,
there are problems in caring for
the children adequately in the
existing buildings. The physical
arrangement does not lend itself
readily to maximum use, he said.
1.-The reality of the situation is
that we have the girls committed
to us, and they have to be cared
for" Mr.. Shea asserted.
But, he pointed out, this is be-
ing done under difficulties because
of the old and limited buildings.

Polio $ Attack on Six
Children in Family
Traced 10 Raw Milk
By the Associated Press

FREDERICKSBURG. Tex, Sept
I8.-Polio virus in raw milk caused
six children in the Paul Pehl fam
lily to be stricken with the disease,
George w. Cox, State health off,
Ger. said yesterday.
DR.. Cox and other health OIL
|cialS made a day-long inspection
of the Pehl farm near here to find
out why so many persons in one
family had been infected.
"The polio infection was un-
doubtedly carried in raw milk. ("
DR.. Cox said. 1.-THE polio virus
entered the milk during the milk
ing process"
Six of the Pehi children are in
a San Antonio hospital.
DR.. Cox said one of the boys
apparently got the virus from a
close friend who was stricken with
polio. He said the Pehls MIXED
their own cows. and the chore
passed from one child to the other.
Evidently the Pehl boy passed
the virus to others in his family
when, in milking the cows, he
contaminated the raw milk.
Had the milk been pasturized,
DR.. Cox said, the family probably
would not have been stricken.
Sympathetic citizens of Giles
pie County have contributed
$4,000 to aid the stricken family.
Neighbors also are helping to
harvest field crops and care for
livestock ON the Pehl farm Is
miles east of here.

Players Club Comedy Scores
Outstanding Hit Both Nights

The new auditorium of the
West jefferson High School re-
ceived large crowds Wednesday
and Thursday nights for presen-
tation of the three-act comedy,
Personal Appearance, by the West
Jefferson Players Club.
Miss Barbara RAIDER played the
leading role in the comedy, pre-
sented under direction of Mrs.
Charles Miller. The audiences
both nights were enthusiastic.
Locale of the play was a tourist
home and Miss RAIDER a temper
mental Hollywood star on tour.
The role of her personal repre-
sentative was enacted by Dale
Porter, whose job was to shield
the star from unfavorable pub
licity and otherwise smooth the
path of her itinery.
Kenneth Coe played the role of
the filling station operator and a
would-be inventor. His fiancee
was Faye Coe and Kathryn Ben
jamin the mirth- provoking Aunt
Kate.
Betty Mcdaniel played the
owner of the tourist home; Flea
nor Porter, a movie-struck girl;
Ellis (Doc) Chambers, her boy
friend; Ben Edwards, the stars
chauffeur and Ann Shepherd, her
personal maid.
All the stage setting was the
work of the Players Club COM
mittee and represented many
hours of pains-taking artistic
work. Material for the scenery
was provided by the Board of
Education and all the work was
donated for making the scenery.
In addition the Players Club
presented stage curtains to the
High School as a gift to the
school. The gift was gratefully
acknowledged by Supt. Dale Por-
ter when he dropped his role as
