Here Is Glossary
Of New Names for
D. Welfare Units

Many of the Districts welfare
institutions have new names.
This glossary should help you
keep them straight.
CHILDREN'S CENTER This
is a general name for three insti-
tutions at Laurel. Md. They are:
CEDAR KNOLLS-An institu-
tion for juvenile delinquents. CO.
educational, intergrated Ito be
dedicated next Sunday.
MAPLE GLEN-Another insti-
tuition for juvenile delinquents,
several miles from Cedar Knoll
Also coed, intergrated. 1t is in
tended to handle children more
ready to return to the commu-
nifty than Cedar Knoll.
These latter two are replace
ments for the old white and
colored Industrial Home Schools.
That name has been retired.
DISTRICT TRAINING
SCHOOL-The third part of the
Children's Center. this is an irl-
stitution for the mentally re-
tarded. Welfare people are going
to start calling it.
FOREST HAVEN -- but the
name can't be changed legally.
In addition to the Children's
Center. the Welfare Department
also operates:
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
vILLAGE-The old Home for the
Aged and Infirm at Blue Plains,
DC.
JUNIOR VILLAGE-Home for
dependent G.e. homelesS) chill
dren. on Loughboro road NV.
This will move to Blue Plains
next year.
RECEIVING HOME FOR
CHILDREN-This is a tempo
rary detention home for young
sters picked up by the police, or
other authorities. It is on Mt.

District Dedicotes $4.5 Million Home
For Juvenile Delinquents Next Sunday

In the future, Miss Thompson
said. this artificial integration

existence. and integration with
out specific planning will occur.
Two Security Units
In addition to five cottages
housing SO boys apiece, and four
housing 40 girls apiece (girls are
harder to handle in an institu-
tion than boys) Cedar Knoll in
cludes two medium security"
cottages and two "orientation"
cottages.
The security provisions include
bars over the windows (called
strips by the employees to
avoid any reference to jaiD =,
stronger locks and more parti-
tions between parts of the dor
On the first move. the secur-
ity cottages-one for boys. one
for girls-will not be used as
such. They will be called honor
cottages" and given to inmates
as rewards-until they are needed
to hold more difficult delinquents.
The orientation cottages pro-
vide individual rooms for each
child coming into the institution.
This is one Of the greatest ad-
vantages Of Cedar Knoll, Miss
Thompson said. It will allow new
comers to be sorted according
to their problems and character
istics. and also allow segregation
for medical purposes.
Dining Hall
That sort of classification has
been unavailable to the Welfare
Department before-there was
simply no room for it. The situa-
tion brought on much of the
criticism of the Receiving Home
for Children, which is now being
enlarged.
Cedar Knoll's central dining
hall, done in pastel green and
beige, can feed about 500 persons
at a sitting.
The school building includes
a barber shop with five chairs

Urged
For Parkway

The United States Park Police
are recommending traffic i'm
provement suggestions for q
stretch Of the Rock Greek and
Potomac Parkway, involving two
S-curves, officials announced last
night.
Chief Harold F. Stewart of the
park force said he has recon-
the changes to Supt. Ed
ward ]. Kelly in view of the eight
in that area in little
more than two years. There
have been about so traffic acci-
dents reported in the area from
just south Of the P street bridge
and just north of the Mass
avenue bridge SPAN
ming Rock Creek valley, Chief
Stewart said.
The changes recommended are
l. That safe speed" signs of
no more than 80 miles per hour
be posted to put motorists on
notice regarding the S-curves.
On the parkway there is no speed
limit. The parkway is used to
move great volumes of traffic
one way southwark in the morn
ing and one way northward in
the afternoon, making the valley
a great traffic artery.
2. Erect steel guard rails,
comouflaged with shrubbedy in
keeping with the park character
of the drive, on the curves.
3. Rough up the smooth mac
adam parkway surface to give
wheels better traction.
4. Paint a double center line
to stress to motorists the i'm
portance of keeping in the right
lane. 1t would replace the exist
ing single line.

la month ago. But it met oppo-
sition from Federal park, PLAN
ming and Fine Arts officials. The
modified plan to be presented to
Fine Arts members Wednesday
lis the result of efforts to Offset
the objections.
One main objection was that
Ia complex system Of approach
roads and interchanges on the
Washington side Of the river
what one planner said looked
like a "bowl Of spaghetti
should be simplified. Complaints
were that the proposed system
took up too much land, included
unnecessary traffic lanes and en-
croached on the Lincoln Memo
rial area.
The new plan. 1t was under
stood. reduces the approach sys-.
tenn to "a minimum" and also
moves the bridge about 100 feet
upriver from its original take
of point at the end Of ConSti-
tuition avenue.
'Minor Changes" Made
Gen Lane conceded that fur
ther minor changes" might have
to be made in the plan. But he
said he thought it basically car
ries out what we all had in mind
when we agreed to a compro-
mise"
After the Fine Arts Commits
sion gives its reaction to the
plan. it will be considered by a
special Planning Commission
committee. headed by Conrad l..
Wirth, National Park Service
director. That committee in
turn will report to the full Plan
ming Commission at its next
meeting September Is.
General agreement on design
Of the bridge must be reached
before consultant engineers can
begin work on a model of the
crossing. Such a model, or SER
les Of models, will also be given
the Fine Arts Commission for its
advice on the type of bridge
which should be built.
District officials want to begin
actual construction of the six
lane bridge as early as possible
next year.

District officials hope to gel
Federal Fine Arts Commission
Endorsement this week of a new
compromise plan for the pro-
posed Constitution avenue bridge
Engineer Com missioner
Thomas A. Lane said the plan
worked out by staff technicians
of the District, the National Cap
lital Parks and the National Cap
lital Planning Commission, will be
explained to fine arts members
at a meeting Wednesday.
The plan proposes the bridge
leave the Washington shore just
Iupriver from Constitution avenue
NV. cross the lower tip OF
Roosevelt Memorial Island and
tie in with major roads on the
Virginia shore.
Arts Approval Required
Fine Arts Commission indorse-
ment would be a crucial step
toward early construction of the
span Congress already has au-
Ithorized.
Actually, District officials al
ready have money in the current
budget to begin building the
bridge. But existing legislation
requires that it be built between
Arlington Memorial Bridge and
Roosevelt Island -- missing the
island itself.
In order to get the bridge out
|of the immediate vicinity of the
Lincoln memorial, thereby mini
mixing its affect on esthetic
values in that monumental area,
there has been general agree
ment that the bridge should be
moved upriver - across Roose-
velt Island.
While this step will require a
change in legislation, officials
are confident Congress win make
the change quickly next January
II agreement on a plan can be
reached between city and Fed
eral officials and the Theodore
Roosevelt Association, custodians
OF the controversial island.

water board can see ahead as

fident it can prevent that threat
from arising.
Observers have pointed out
the water board has no planning
authority. 1t must rule, they
say. on situations as they arise.
II the board did reverse itself
and deny Mr.. Bobby his plant, he
might conceiveably win over

A week from today the District
Welfare Department will dedi-
Icate its new $45 million insti-
tuition for juvenile delinquents,
bringing its big five-year re-
modelling and replacement pro-
gram to within one step Of COM
lpletion.
The new institution, to be
known as Cedar Knoll School.
can house SOC boys and girls.
AS well equipped as many prep
schools, it includes II buildings
ion a 964-acre site Just of the
Baltimore Washington parkway
near Laurel, Md.
When the District Commis-
sioners and Welfare Director
Gerard M. Shea formally put
the training school into action
Sunday, it will already have had
Ia shakedown cruise by a group
Iof delinquents from a similar
District institution nearby-the
Juvenile Training School, now
known as Maple Glen School.
Shortly after the dedication,
the largest group of delinquents
to enter Cedar Knoll will move
lin. These are colored children
from the present Industrial
Home School at Blue Plains,

To Complete Integration
This will complete the inte-
grafton of the races in the city's
homes for juvenile delinquents.
This integration has been care
fully planned, according to Miss
Winifred C. Thompson. super
intendent of the Children's Cen
ter, of which Cedar Knoll is a
part.
Cottages" of the institution
house 40 to SO delinquents apiece.
Where possible each cottage will
be half filled with white children
before the colored children come
in from Blue Plains to take the
remaining spaces, avoiding any
minority situation. Other cot
tages, because of the prepon-
derance of Negro delinquents,
will be all-Negro.

ly "TraHc Directors Mailbag"

clude q discussion of traffic
situations like the one pictured
here.
Hit and run" is an ugly
phrase.
Last year. nearly 10 per cent
of the accidents in the District
were hit and run" That means
that of 25,689 drivers involved
in accidents, 2.341 ran away.
Are you sure you wouldn't
run? Do you know the law?
Section II of the traffic regu-
lations says you must always
stop and offer assistance. no mat
ter how slight the accident. You
must give your name and ad-
dress to the person injured or
to the owner OF operator of the
property damaged.
If you've struck a parked car,
like the driver pictured here,
leave your name on a card or
piece of paper, attach it to the
car and then notify police.
In cases of personal injury.
you must notify police immedi-
ately.
Failure to do SO carries a max
imum $500 fine in personal in
Jury accidents and $100 in prop
erty damage accidents.
In addition, conviction of leav-
ing after colliding-as police call
twill certainly cost you your
