Parents of the children main

than would normal pupils. AL
four mentally retarded classes

Genteel Eating

ByLawnlakers
House Restaurant
Needs More Space,
Rooney Contends

House members cast an en-.
vious eye at the Senate and the
United Nations yesterday and
concluded that the gentlemen in
those bodies eat in more genteel
surroundings. p
Il have been at the United
Nations" Representative Allen.
Republican. of Illinois said visit
fully. They have six restaurants,
chandeliers and carpeting, and
all those things"
Representative Rooney, Demo-
crat, of New York pointed to the
advantages of being a Senator,
noting that lin the other body
the diners are served on linen
tablecloths. with fancy dishes
and silverware.
Prompted by Star Article.
Mr.. Rooney started the talk
about the House restaurant, and
said he was prompted by an
article by Violet Faulkner in The
Stars food page on Tuesday. He
said the headline, Uncle Sam Is
Loser on House Restaurant"
was a little misleading. He pro-
tested that the Senate restau-
rant is the real loser.
With all the difficulties
that confront the House restau-
rant manager and the hostess, in
feeding 435 members, their
guests, and employees, the loss
to the taxpayer in feeding
the So members of the other
body. their guests and employees,
is about twice as much" he ar
gued.
Mr.. Rooney said he wasn't adj
vocating that the austere wooden
tables with their paper napkins
in the House be replaced with
Senate style linen tablecloths.
fancy dishes and silverware.
"All that is needed is more
space" he said.
Representative Vorys, Repub-
lican. of Ohio, agreed.
Joins Call for Space.
Representative Rogers, Repub.
lican, of Massachusetts,, joined
the call for more space.
1T is embarrassing when we
have people come from out Of
town and we try. to take them
into the restaurant and they are
actually trampled upon"
The House members agreed
that despite the lack of space.
the House restaurant was ef-
f1ciently managed. To support
this, Mr.. Rooney had the menu
for the day-including a his
torical sketch of the famous
bean soup-printed in the Con-
gressional Record.
What with the hustle and
hustle, and the eating at the
sandwich counters, the House
may not have had time to note
the request two days ago of Sen.
ator Smith, Republican of Maine.
that a select committee be ap-
pointed to investigate the Sen.

Safety Council Notes

Young people need the know
now to survive in traffic TODAY"
DR.. George r. Miller, Jr.. super-
intendent of the State Department
of Public instruction and the Della
ware Safety Councils Vice Presi-
dent for School Safety, made This
statement today as he outlined the
role OF the cOmmunity's schools in
teaching traffic safety to children.
He was speaking in connection
with the child traffic safety pro-
gram which is being sponsored To-
cally this month by the Delaware
Safety Council and the National
Safety Council.
The schools are cooperating fulIv
with this child safety program, be-
cause we realize the drastic need
for safeguards to youngsters lives
In modern traffic" DR.. Miller said.
lie said that the entire safety
educational program of the schools
is planned both to protect today's
children and develop tomorrow's
DRYERS.
'In the class room," DR.. Miller
said, children get lessons in safe
walking habits and attitudes from
kindergarten on up. And in high
school we add to this instruction
a combination classroom and prac-
tice-driving course aimed at de-
veloping both driving skill and
good traffic attitudes-in other
words, safe drivers.
In addition to actual practice in
car operation, individually super-
vised by qualified instructors, he
said that the driver education
course includes instruction in traffic
laws and the common sense rules
Of safe driving.
More and more schools are
Offering such courses in the in
terest Of traffic safety" DR.. Miller
said. During the 1947-48 school
year, only about 5000 schools in
the United States had a course in
driver education. But by the 1852
SO term, 1858 high schools were
offering driving courses.
I'm our own State Delaware,
every public high school is partici-
pating in this program as we'll as
a large majority of the private and
parochial high schools. This course
has been offered to Delaware High
School students since 1894"
