Juvenile Council Plans Program;
ChapIain Menges Is Guest Speaker

The monthly meeting of the Mon
roe County Juvenile Council held
at the Monroe County Health Clinic
on Monday featured Sr. Naval
Chaplain, 1t. H.F. Menges as guest
speaker, and introduced a program
known as Clearing House for We'll
fare" in Monroe County.
This program which embodies
family counse.ing for all residents
of Monroe County, Navy as well as
civilian, has been much needed in
this area. Heretofore, Juvenile
court Judge Eva Warner Gibson
and Probation Officer, Mrs. Isabel
Fleming, carried most of the bur-
den, and it often necessitated their
working almost a full twentyfOur
hours a day. Now with the help of
the Juvenile Council and the Home
Counseling Clinic, it is hoped that
more families may be helped in
every way.
In his talk to the Juvenile Coun-
Gil, Chaplain Menges stressed the
urgent need for the Home Coun-
selling Clinic. He urged the cities
and towns of Monroe County to
"get on the BALI and do cooper
alive job in the general interest of
such a family clinic In this way
many of the tragedies of divorce.
breaking up of families, and send
ing away of so-called, juvenile de-
linquentS could be prevented,
Chaplain Menges pledged his
own full cooperation and that of
the other Navy chaplains to give
all the necessary time, help and
advice and any other help of which
they were capable.
Edward o. Schweitzer, Key West
High School principal and president
of the Juvenile Council asked the
group to put on a campaign pro-
gram. and concentrated effort on
Safety Vehicle Manipulation. This
includes, bikes, motor scooter, mo-
torcycleS and automobiles.
There were several other speak

of the street traffic to which they
were exposed daily. Then. about
a week ago, the Beta Sigma Phi
Sorority, through its President.
Mrs. c, B. Harvey. made public
that members wanted local folks
to know of the plans their club
had adopted early last year but
with which not much had been
had since no one had volunteered
the use of their vacant property
The organization appealed TO
property owners TO have tho
city's youth at heart and try to
serve them in some way. This
appeal found a mother. Mrs. Cil-
more Parks, who. with Mr..
Parks, had been seeking a safe
haven for their children, ages 6
and II, calling Mrs. Harvey
about her clubs project. Then, it
seems. 1t Comdr. Robert Marvel
and Mrs. Marvel concerned with
the safety and play activities of
their children, ages 2 and 6, had
their eyes fixed" on the corner
lot too, since they live at TIC
Fleming street.
A hasty check with the owner,
Mr.. Karl Thompson, brought
forth most hearty and warm
response when he said, Why.
by all means, use my. property.
and without any costs to YOU
whatsoever. There is nothing
dearer to me than to see our chill
dren happy and safe at play. II

munity, il is yours for the ask
Ing" continued Mr.. Thompson.
Mrs. Harvey. Mr.. Parks, Comdr,
Marvel. and City Attorney Ipna.
thus Lester conferred with Mr.
Thompson last night to work out
the details of the playground. AT
long last, 1t appears that every.
ones wish has ''crystalized" and
that the crystal ball" reveals
that shortly, sturdy legs will be
running from one base to an
other; shouts of safe" on home
plate win be heard instead Of the
present mad screechng of brakes
pressed hard in an effort TO
avoid running over child play
ing in the street. And" said Mrs.
Harvey, "the promoters are hon.
ing that other property owners
will follow the lead OF Benefactor
Karl Thompson, city officials
parents like the Gilmore Parks
and the Robert Marvels. Beta
Sigma Phi members, and other
civic organizations in helping to
establish Fairgrounds at other
areas in Key West"
When leaving the meeting last
evening Mrs. Harvey remarked
that the civic pride demonstrated
by MIR. Karl Thompson also used
to be shared by his brother. the
late Mr.. Norberg Thompson. who
was always one of the first prom
inent men of Key West to ex-
tend helping hand and . three
digit check to help see the pro-
ject through to a successful con
clusion.

Lincoln Plead
For Reverence
Of All Laws

Abraham Lincoln, whose birth
day anniversary is February 18th,
was quoted today by H. S. Weaver,
Chief of Police in emphasizing the
Importance of knowing and obey
ing all traffic laws on the part of
motorists and pedestrians.
eff Abraham Lincoln were alive
today" Chief Weaver said, che
would be deeply concerned about
the appalling toll taken by traffic
accidents. One of his pieces of wis
dom is this quotation:
"Let reverence for the law be
breathed by every American moth
er to the isping babe. Let it be
taught in schools and in almanacs.
Let it be preached from the pulpit,
proclaimed from legislative halls,
and enforced in courts of justice"
Chief Weaver stressed the fact
that every American in this motor
age should be guided by this very
same principle: respect for the law
knowledge of the traffic regula-
tions-and strict obedience to them.
abraham Lincoln was a man
who appreciated human life and
sought to safeguard it," 'If you
appreciate life-your own and
others, you will know and obey
the traffic laws when you drive or
walk.
"In other words" he added,
"traffic laws protect, pay them re-

Donohue DepIores Works Lag

In releasing the report of the
Citizens Advisory Committee on
Public Works. Commissioner
Donohue said:
The Federal Government
ought to pay for this public
works program lock, stock and
barrel. The present dilapidated
condition of so many Of our
municipal facilities was caused
by the failure Of Congress to
meet its legal and moral obli-
cations. ~ e--.s..,
. This is not so much q mat
ter or what Congress should do
tomorrow, but what it should
have done yesterday. Unless
the 1egislators--backed by citi-
zens in nearby as, well as far
away areas-live up to their
obligations. our institutions
some day will collapse like q
house of cards.
We've got to get the complete
support Of the people Of the
District. the suburbs and the
people from California to
Maine. The time has come for
all to recognize that they have
a responsibility for their Ma
tion's Capital, that we here in
Washington are the trustees Of
all America.
Evening star., 1952-09-28

And as for Washingtonians
alone. recall another fight re-
Gently in which an aroused
citizenry backed local govern
ment reorganization to preserve
the Commissioner form as OPP
posed to q suggested council-
manager form.
We must do the same kind Of
selling job. Maybe we have not
been doing as good a selling job
to Congress as we might.
We should say to Congress:
.'This is what you've done to us
over the years-you're respon-
sible for rectifying a wrong. Un-
less something is done Wash
ington will become just a city
Of buildings, not people.
And who will support our In
stitutions If our people move?
Those who move out of the city
are the higher income groups,
When they leave, the lower in
come groups move in. This
places a greater burden on our
health and welfare institutions
and ultimately. the Federal
Government may find itself
paying all District costs, instead
of an amount such as the Public
Works Committee recommends
now.
