Vote on Districts S

The House is scheduled to de-

of remodeled alley dwellings
should be forced to abandon
them for use for human occu-
pancy.
Pending is a Senate-pasSed
bill to repeal the half-century-
old, but never yet enforced, ban
on alley houses. This year, city
officials and others approved
removal Of the old ban on the
grounds that other moves, and
reconditioning of the old houses,
have taken care Of the former
alley dwelling problem.

Mr.. Camalier explained dur

is the rehabilitation annex for
tuberculosis patients.
Addition Considered.
The Commissioner said that
the new health center, included
in the public works program,
might use the Health School
building or might be an addi-
ton to the rehabilitation center.
District Director of Construc-
ton, Archie Hutson is making
plans for the new center, which
also might take the form of a
new unit entirely

gress being made in District

If a supplemental appropria-
ton could be obtained in Janu-
airy, he said, the present Receiv-

Another may be over getting

These usually are businesses
which were already established
when zoning went into effect in
areas zoned for other uses.o To
avoid undue hardship or charges
of conf1Scating property values,
these were allowed to continue
without improvements or modi-
flcations in the hope they ul-
timately would go out of busi-
ness and be replaced by struc-
lures which conformed to the
coming regulations.
Most such businesses, however
have prospered, and many cities
have passed zoning laws order
ing them out of existence within

Official Notices

The District government this

Volume I, No. I, is a 25-page
edition crammed with such news
items as Order No. 54-1262,

In the style typical of Com
missioners' regulations, the item
starts off: Pursuant to author
ity vested in the Commissioners
by Public Law 1854. 83d Congress,
I'd Session, approved May 18,
1854, the following rules and
regulations -. are hereby pro-
mulgated -"
The editors inserted such
other spot news as the appoint
ment of member of the Com
missioners' Committee for the
Issuance and Use of Police Press
Passes in connection with the
American Legion convention and
a listing of forthcoming public
hearings.
Actually, the Districts new
newspaper" serves as a bulletin
board for all official government
notices that are not required by
law to be published in the daily
publications.
The offset printing presses
have run off 1000 copies of the
first edition, about half of which
are expected to be distributed at
20 cents per copy. Yearly sub
scriptions, obtainable through
the Office of the Secretary of the
Board of Commissioners, will
cost SIS.
CongressN appropriated $4,000
for printing and mailing costs
the first year. 1t is hoped that the
Register ultimately will become
self-supporting.

A Moestro's Manners
CONTIGUOUS.

Since it is obvious that no representa-

for Leopold Stokowskis shocking dis
play of bad manners towards the
owners of Constitution Hall, perhaps
you would be good enough to display the
following suggestions for the benefit OF
all members of the OAR.
1t is unthinkable that a serious
minded organization such as the
OAR should be obligated to take the
brunt of publicity scheme inaugurated
solely for the sake of adding to Mr..
Stokowskis notoriety at the box Office
and on the concert stage.
When it comes to ridiculing the
Daughters of the American Revolution

the time approaches for some one to
draw the line of decency. 1t is far too
late for us to attempt to teach the

in good manners. Of course, the ladies

by serious-m minded citizens in Philadel-

StokowskiS unusual actions on and Off

Three Types Of Delinquents

The Star editorial mot for People"
compels me to get into the act" Your
editorial reveals common misconcep-
tions Of the nature Of juvenile delin-
ouency. Part Of my qualification to
speak stems from the fact that in my
day ! was also a juvenile delinquent
and not in any merely humorous sense.
Juvenile delinquents can be divided.
roughly, into three classes.
First, there are those who come from
desperately poor. depressed homes.
Mostly, these children steal. although
their rather understandable resentment
against society often results in crimes
of senseless violence. Since most Of the
very poor in this city are colored people.
most of this class Of delinQuents are
colored. II any one thinks these kids
are raised by "coddling" and "undevi-
ating kindness" he just hasn't been
around much. They are raised by the
switch and the slap across the face.
Receiving nothing but violence, they
have nothing but violence to give.
The second class of delinquents con-
sists of those wavy-haired. upturned-
collar versions Of the old-time drug
store cowboys" They have nothing to
do with the values of society as whole.
Not all these primping lads are delin-
quents, but among them are the young
psycopaths who have never had any
thing like home. They are the ignored
youth-not coddled. just ignored. Often
their parents are divorced or separated.
And. often. the situation is just the
reverse: Their, parents are old-fash-
ioned. rigid and think that discipline"
and "coddling" are mutually exclusive
terms. They think discipline consists
of laying down the law and then enforc-
ing it with blows. Love is something
they do not show a child.
The third class consists simply of
those whose acts would go practically
unnoticed in rural areas, but cause
trouble with the authorities in modern
urban life These youths are delinquent
in a technical, rather than a psyche
logical sense. and are likely to come
from any kind Of family.
No "moderniSt" (as regards child

This and That

Ups and downs of weather, the

by most persons to be the reason for
colds and other winter maladieS.
Science on the other hand. goes so
far as to say that weather variations
are the real reasons for whatever gains
mankind has made over the centuries.
Further, modern comfort. as it is
popularity called, will ruin the race,
in the long run.

pride ourselves, heated automobiles.

These and other familiar factors

If we protest we are told to look back

Of their home climate made the Ro-
mans susceptible.
They mitigated this effect. to de-
gree. by wandering over the known
world Of their time, even to the very
edge Of things, ancient Britain.
In such military and political forays
they managed to keep their already
hardy soldiers on edge, climatically
speaking.

They got the ups and downs of
climate that way.
It would do we'll for us. then. to
think. every time we tend to frown
at so degrees one morning, and 20 de-
grees the next.
To think that this sort of thing,
despite it's disagreeable side. Is good
for us.
The soft side Of America bears bitter
fruit in soft thinking.
In such world as this. we cannot
afford to be too gentle, too soft, too
good.
We must have an edge. not of cruel
ty, but of understanding of things as
they are, as well as of how we would
have them.
Those who cannot hold to this edge
are pushed around by others, often to
their great discomfort, far worse than
little shivering in a sudden breeze.
BY taking thought, any one can
apply few simple rules.
People are forever getting late to
appointments, when by taking thought
they could be on time.
It is the same with weather. No
one need suffer because of the chill

it beforehand.

qualified than the Congressman them
selves?
Because Of the anguished cries from
constituents whenever Congress begins
to take an interpretive look into the
condition Of its personal finances, the
Nations lawmakers have been notably
chary about raising their salaries. So
ingrained is the fear of rubbing the
voters the wrong way that the Senators
and Representatives have exercised
their salary hiking prerogatives only
three times In the past so years-in
1907. 1925 and 1946.
Right now Congress Is boarding the
lion again-and in an election year. to

Congressional Salaries will come up

Government Man of the Year

Chairman Edward H. Rees of the House
Civil Service Committee well merited the honor
bestowed on him by the Federal Club, an or
ganization made up of Federal personnel ad-
ministrators and other ofilcials. Actually. his
designation as Government "man of the year"
might have been equally appropriate in any Of
a number of recent years. The Kansas Repub-
lican has been an outstanding worker for a
better civil service throughout his II years Of
congressional service. He Is credited with start
ing the movement for Federal loyalty pro-
gram and he has sponsored many measures
designed to improve the efficiency of the Fed
eral establishment and the welfare of its en-
ployes. The merit system has no more tireless
defender than Representative Rees.
