First OF all, most OF us are
either riders in, or drivers of.
motor vehicles. Let's remind our
selves of our municipality and
state motor laws. Are we in

drivers? How we'll do we obey
the laws OF the highway,

are-personal cleanliness. avoid

When travelling in strange ter

water. II in doubt. boil It or
treat IT with publication tablets.

upturned boats or canoes are
usually discovered and rescued.
It's the foolhardy folks who
abandon ship and strike out for
shore that often drown. or course
safe and wise handling of boats

Unfortunately most water

Some months ago. DR.. Carl F..
Hansen, associate Superintend-
ent of schools, suggested that all
pupils should think about their
conduct, should even write down
the rules on how to be good
boys and girls.
Several schools acted on his
suggestion. The Shepherd Ele-
mentary School made a project
of it. The Student Council
seized the idea and drew up a
list of rules.
Their parents saw it and liked
it. They drew up their own
list on how parents can help
young people to keep them from
becoming juvenile delinQuents.
The parents list has achieved
considerable notice and was pub
lished in full in yesterdays Star.
The children'S list which inspired
it has had less notice.
This is how it read:
We, the children of Shepherd
School, in order to become better
citizens and to show our appre-
citation for our many privileges,
set up for ourselves the follow
ing responsibilities:
l. Do my best at all times.
2. Listen courteously and learn
all l can.
3. Be courteous at all times.
4. Keep my mind and body
healthy and clean.
5. Be prompt and use my time
wisely.
6. Be trustworthy in little
things as well as in big things.

ChHdren|s Own Code

Z. Be cheerful and help others
to be happy.
8. Play fairly and honestly and
with good craftsmanship.
9. Share willingly and gener-
ouSly with those in need
10. Treat others as I would
like to be treated.
IL. Help others by fulfilling
my responsibilities faithfully.
IL. Respect my parents. teach
ers, patrols and the many other
people who help me.
13. Obey the rules of my home,
my school, my city, and the
United States Of America.
IA. Take good care Of the
property of others. as well as my
own.
Is. Keep my home, school and
community beautiful.
16. Settle differences peaceful
ly by talking them over.
II. Remember to be forgiving
and that I may not always be
right.
Is. Live up to the promises
that l make when I pledge al
legiance to my flag.
10. Follow my religion faith
fully and respect the beliefs of
others.
20. Do all the good things I
know a citizen should do every
day so that I may become a
finer and better person.
These are the qualities I
should have to be a good citi-
zen of the United States of
America.

Dependency Cited as
Delinquency Factor

Il A District welfare official said
last night that it is often quite
difficult to distinguish between
public dependency and true de-
linquency in errant children.
Gerard M. Shea, director of
the Department of Public We'll
fare and member of the Com
miSSionerS' Youth Council, told
the Randle Highlands Citizens
Association the major problem
is dependency, and sit costs us
q lot of money"
He said that, of 1000 cases
involving District aid during the
1858 fiscal year. SO per cent were
for dependent children and the
rest for delinquentS. Many of
today's cases, classified as de-
linquencieS. in former years were
judged dependencies, he said.

Panel of Educators
Discusses Problem

The part played by the school
in the fight against juvenile de-
linquency was discussed extern
sively by a panel of four educa-
tors last night at the meeting
of the Petworth Citizens Asso-
citation.
Arthur Story, principal of
MacFarland Junior High School,
suggested that the newspapers
are overemphasizing the prob
lem of juvenile delinquency. He
said only 3 or per cent of all
children are delinquents.
He recommended, however,
that potential delinquents be
separated from other children in
the schools and given special
counseling and treatment.
Miss Lettie Stewart, assistant
principal and dean of girls of
Theodore Roosevelt High School,
said that the schools should use
the pupils urge to conform to
the society in which they move
by creating a society in the
school that encourages good citi-
zenship.
Sister Eugene Mary, Sister Su-
perior of St. Gabriel'S Parochial
School, told the group no amount
of school supervision can take
the place of family supervision.
The Rev Morris H. Kaminetz-
ky, principal of Beth Sholom
Hebrew School, said he has no
trouble with his students that
can be ascribed to juvenile de-
linquency. He said he feels the
religious schools do much to
eliminate delinquency.
Mrs. Elon Knupp, sixth grade
teacher at Barnard School. de-
scribed two projects which the
children in her class conducted
on their own initiative to pro-
mote citizenship.
The meeting was held in the
Barnard School, Fourth and De-
catur streets NV.

Pension Plan Opposed

Arlington County police and
f1remen last night ganged up on
a proposal being studied by the
County Board to abolish the
present retirement system and
replace it with a new retirement
plan based on, social security.
The idea of the new plan, the
board explained at a hearing
last night, is to extend retire
ment benefits to about 800 coun-
ty employees not now covered.
The police and f1remen. who are
covered under the present sys-
tenn, said through their spokes-
man. Attorney John Locke
Green, that they feared the new
plan would cost more and pro-
duce less benefits.

Opening of public hearings
of the Senate Juvenile Delin-
quency subcommittee, sched-
uled for today, was postponed

Land Agency Expects
To Get First Sites for
Project B in 2Weeks

District Redevelopment Land
Agency officials expect to acquire
title within the next two weeks
to the first land parcels in
Project B. the city's pilot re-
development and slum- clearance
program in Southwest Washing
ton.
In announcing this today, RIA
Director John r. SearleS, jr.,
said the threat of a further legal
fight is not delaying the program
at this time.
Appeal Funds Sought.
On November S, a three-judge
Federal Court upheld constitu-
tionality of the city's 1945 re-
development act, but raised ques-
tions about whether the actual
program is exceeding the acts
scope. A group of Southwest
businessmen decided Monday
night to try to raise funds to
support an appeal of the con-
stitutional decision. At the same
time, attorneys have said they
will challenge operation of the
program in a lower court.
Attorneys Joseph H. Schneider
and James C. Toomey told the
businessmen the appeal on the
constitutional issue should cover
all properties in the B area,
76-acre tract bounded by Fourth,
I and South Capitol streets and
the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks. The lawyers said they
would ask for an injunction to
halt the program until the ap-
peal is settled if they get
financial backing for the appeal.
Mr.. Searles, however, said
that until such time as an in
junction is issued, "It's full
steam ahead"
He noted that the land agency
has been conducting tentative
negotiations with about so land
owners who have indicated a
willingness to sell their prop
critics. He said it was hoped
contracts could be consummated
with a few of them within about
two weeks.
AS a first step, however, the
agency wants to contract with
a real estate firm for manage
ment of the properties pur-
chased. Mr.. Searles said firms
would be asked tomorrow to bid
for this job.
100000 More Needed.
The RIA director said his
agency has given the Housing
and Home Finance Agency data
on all properties in the area. The
HHFA. he said. has approved the
data as far as the first few blocks
the agency wants to acquire.
The agency has indicated
previously that it wants to ac-
quire as much of the land as it
can by negotiation. before re-
sorting to powers of eminent
domain to take the land. The
exact procedure for exerting the
taking powers has not been
worked out, Mr.. Searles said.
For the first land purchases
and administrative. expenses, the
HHFA already has advanced
$500 900 to the land agency. Mr..
Searles said this group next week
will ask for a further advance
"of at least that much again."

Keneipp 10 Eva|uate
Transit Plan 10 Ban
Parking on ; Streets

District Traffic Director George
E. Keneipp today was under or
ders to prepare a point-by- point
concurrence or rebuttal to a pro-
poSal by Capital Transit Co. that
automobile parking be banned
on three major downtown streets
between 7 am. and $50 pm. on
weekdays.
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
Engineer Commissioner, gave the
word to the traffic director after
a conference among transit, city
and private business officials in
the District Building.
Capital Transit wants a CO.
day trial of its plan to prohibit
buSy-hour parking on F and G
streets, between Ninth and Four
teenth streets, and on Seventh
street between Pennsylvania and
Rhode Island avenues.
Walking Found Faster.
The company last summer
made a detailed check of these
thoroughfares and concluded
that, between meter parking of
passenger cars and the double
parking of commercial vehicles,
streetcar travel gets snafued to
the extent that walking is
faster.
Company Vice President
James H Flanagan reiterated
to Gen. Prentiss that what they
would most like to see is an
appraisal by MIR. Keneipp's Of
flee of the transit survey.
"We have a sincere desire to
benefit the city of Washington,
not only Capital Transit" Mr..
Flanagan declared. Should the
company'S survey and report be
wrong. he added. well be the
first to admit it. But let's try our
recommendations. 1t takes cour-
age on some ones part"
Conclusions at Issue.
Mr.. Keneipp became obviously
irritated at Mr.. Flanagan's i'm
plication that he had been drag
ging his heels on answering the
p0YVNno Iou'c cf1Idu
I'VE have always taken Capital
Transit's word on it's traffic flow
surveys, just as they have taken
our word on our surveys" he
declared. I'VE don't challenge
any of their latest statistics, but
we do take issue with their con-
clusions."
The traffic director added that
instead of 7 am.-6:30 pm.
parking ban. he is inclined to
favor such less drastic" meas
ures as relocating streetcar load
ing platforms. extending the dis
tance of commercial vehicle load
ing zones at the curb or increas-
ing the number of intersections
controlled by aH-walk or all
drive traffic signals, such as that
recently instituted at Eleventh
and F streets NV.
Metropolitan Police Inspector
John Agnew conceded that on
street parking tends to increase
traffic congestion. But he seemed
to favor providing longer COM
mercial-truck loading zones,
rather than sweeping prohibi-
tions against passenger-car park
ing.
Merchants Opposed.
Downtown merchant repre-
Sentatives, to a man. were op-
posed to parking bans. Herbert
j. Rich, president of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers AS
sociation, declared that the pro-
posed ban would result in an
almost certain loss of business
to the businessmen on the streets |
Arthur J. Sundlun, F street
jewelry store owner and chair /.
man of the Commissioners
Traffic Advisory Board. said that
parking bans on some
sections of the three streets may |
be in order.
