City Heads Hear Firms Fight
For g., 900 Pie Contract

The Commissioners today were
considering what to do about a
contest over the pending award
Of a contract to supply $1,000
pies to District school cafeterias
over the next six months.
Identical 55-cent bids were re-
ceived earlier this month from
the Crusty Pie Co.. Inc, of 80
o street NE, and Mrs. Smiths
Colonial Baking Co., of Potts
town. Pa. and Silver Spring,
Md. In a drawing, the Smith
company's name came up.
The award of the contract is
being held up, however, while
Crusty protests the award to the
Smith company on grounds a
District firm should be favored
under otherwise equal circum-
stances and that the Smith COM
pany failed to complete a pre-
vious contract.
City Heads Hear Pleas.
Attorneys Harry S. Wender,
representing Crusty. and Joseph
A. Kaufman. representing the
Smith Co., argued the matter
yesterday before the city heads.
Mr.. Kaufman contended the
Smith company is a firm doing
business in the Washington
Metropolitan area.
He said the company was mot
happy" about the termination
of its previous contract and that
I'VE are positive there will not
be another termination"
Mr.. Kaufman said the COM
pany had served some go other
schools in the area without COM
plants.
The previous contract was
terminated on May %, 1854. by
the District Procurement Office
on grounds of failure to meet the
terms of the contract. Mr.. Wen
der pointed out that Crusty then
took over the pie deliveries, at
the same 52-cent price sub
mitted by the two firms in bid
ding for the earlier contract,
when the Smith company also
won out in a drawing on a tie
bid.
Offers Solution
Mr.. Wender said Crusty would
be willing to continue supplying
pies on a day-today basis. II the
Commissioners sought q ruling
from the Controller General on
the issue. II the ruling were un-
favorable, he said, Crusty would
withdraw and the contract could

JUDGE GIBSON TELLS

OF his living conditions. She be-
lieves that this is directly a con-
tributing factor to his delinquency.
Before his uncle and grandmoth-
er took over the boy had been liv-
ing with his mother and four child
rem in one room shack.
The other boy in the Jail break
first came to the attention of ju-
venile authorities when a neighbor
reported to the police the cruelty of
the mother to this little boy. When
the report was investigated it was
found that the family Of the child
lived in disheveled shack in an
alley. The child was found Secur-
ed to an iron bed by lock and
chain.
Vandalism Results
Judge Gibson states that this
boy has been fighting his particu-
lar situation since that time by
acts vandalism. The boy has been
charged with cutting rubber hose
of the local Convent into many
pieces, stealing from parked cars,
staging make-believe armed
robbery which netted him $2.15,
breaking parking meters for nick
els, and as a finale, participating
in the Jail break.
Mrs. Gibson states that failure
of the boy to rehabiliate was direct
ly due to the attitude of the child's
mother.
"Our policy calls for a long per-
iod of rehabilitation work here at
home where the boy or girl be-
longs. We need the help of welfare
groups who will aid in changing
the attitude of delinquent chill
dren so vandalism and other det-
rimental acts can be prevented"

Included are the Bahia Honda

The fact remains that in most
Of the recent accidents, only one
car was involved.
Careless Fishermen
He said that 1t wasn't unusual
to see fishermen sleeping on the
bridge curbs and that it was a
miracle that there weren't more
accidents involving them.
''But it's not their fault-it's just
that most people who drive this
highway are careful when they
see someone fishing along the
bridges.
He told about a woman who
stepped out in front of car just
as he was driving along in the
opposite direction. The driver of
the other car started to pull out
to avoid hitting the woman and was
forced to slam on his brakes at
the approach Of the patrol car.
She was highly indignant when
reprimanded and said the driver
was at fault because he was driv-
ing too fast.
"She was just lucky" Elliot said.
sometimes these fishermen seem
to forget that the highways are
supposed to be for cars and not
fishing"
Danger To Child
Another woman crossed the road
at the south end of Harris Gap
bridge the other day and left her
small child waiting for her. The
fodder wandered across the high
way in front of Bennett and Elliot
who were driving north on their
regular patrol.
It could have resulted in a
tragedy if someone had been driv-
ing a little too fast when the child
started across the road.
When asked why the Florida
Patrol uses cars that are I'M
mistakable instead of less con-
spicuous paint jobs, Bennett said,
att works both ways. When the
average motorist sees one of our
cars, he will automatically look at
his speedometer, and if he is driv-
ing a little too fast, he usually
slows down. This alone could pre-
vent an accident.
HabisvsI Speeders
Sometimes, habitual Speeder,
. one of those guys who gets under
the wheel and takes off with just
one thought in mind-tO get where
he is going just as fast as he pos
sibly can without being stopped

too.

at least 27O feet to stop a car

them the engine was on the front
