lots the boys the days and time
they are to work and conducts
weekly meetings.
At the meetings she reviews
problems that need correcting
and asks for complaints.
This way the boys can air
their differences" Miss Green
said.
At one meeting, the boys were
given test. 1t contained ques-
lions like, What would you do
after the customer pays you?"
What would you say if asked
what you charged?" what
would you do if you saw money
on a table in a nome?"
Its purpose was TO bring out
the best in the boys" Miss
Green said. Rather than lee
ture. We wanted them to say
what was right or wrong. OF
course, they all got 100 per cent.
We wrangled with them until
they got the right answers"
Boys Get Compliments
Now, according to Mr.. Sim
mons, scarcely a day goes by that
the boys aren't complimented by
the customers. Recently the Ju-
venile Squad and the District
Junior Police sent representatives
to ask how it was done.
Recently a representative of
Safeway Stores described the set
up before the Federation of Civil
Associations. The group voted
to support program to curb de-

I eocher and Boys Solve
Major Juvenile Problem
BY JOSEPH V. RYRNE

A junior high school teacher
at Garnet Patterson School has
solved a major juvenile problem
in her neighborhood, and the
boys involved apparently like it..
Miss Annabella Green, of 1923
Corcoran street NV, became
concerned about the actions of
a large group Of boys who
gathered in front Of a nearby
grocery to carry bundles. She
decided to take action.
The Safeway Store, located at
Seventeenth and Corcoran
streets NV, was constantly lit
tered with trash. The boys were
often rowdy. hindering customers
and using bad language.
Last spring, a boy hit Richard
L. Simmons, the store manager.
over the head with a mallet. He
was hoSpitalized. A few days
later. another boy goaded a clerk
into a fight and was flung
through the stores front window
He was also hospitalized.
In Court Frequently
ut seems I was in juvenile
court two and three times a
week." Mr.. Simmons said.
THE general situation made
me feel that something had to
be DONE" Miss Green said.
First, she visited the head of
nearby Stead Playground. The
playground director agreed to
use his field house as a meeting
place where the boys could reg
lister.
Next, Miss Green and the
playground director sought out
the geenral manager of Safeway
Stores. He permitted her to put
up a sign in the store saying
the boys must register every
Monday at pm. if they wanted
to carry bundles for that week.
The store contributed a long
bench for the boys to sit on as
each awaited his turn.
Finally, Miss Green enlisted
the aid of No. Is Police Precinct.
The police issued orders to steer
all boys without badges away
from the store area.
Registration Grows
"Now, it was up to the boys, F"
Miss Green said. Il was sur
prised when 10 registered the
first week." 1t has grown to Is
so far. Several mothers volun-
teered both their sons and their
help.

Farm Big Issue,
Sparkman Says

CINCINNATI, March 10 P.-
The problems of the American
farmer will probably be the
most acute" issue of the coming
presidential campaign. Senator
Sparkman, Democrat of Ala
bama, says.
The Alabama Democrat, after
an address at a United Jewish
Appeal meeting here, said in an
interview yesterday with a Gin
cinnati Enquirer reporter that
he believes the administration
will do everything it can to get
money into the hands of farm
ers between now and election
time"
Senator Sparkman, 1852 vice
presidential candidate, said that
another big issue will be the part
big business" plays in today's
government.
The administration, he said, is
indifferent" to the problems OF
the little businessman. Senator
Sparkman said the rate of profit
has declined for the small bust
ness, whereas it has increased
for the bigger business.
Senator Sparkman said he be-
lieved his 1852 running mate, Ad-
lai Stevenson. will get the Dem
ocratic nomination for President
again.
But he said it was still too early
to consider who would be the
Democrats vice presidential
choice.
Asked if the Democrats will
make an issue of President Eli
senhower's health, the Senator
said: "They talk about us DEM
ocrats creating issues. The peo-
pie already made this an issue,
Everybody is talking about his
health.
I'm my opinion, President Eli
senhower is a reluctant candi-
date. He has been pressured into
1t over his own better Judgment.
In his speech before the UJA
meeting, Senator Sparkman said
he believes the United States
should take the lead in calming
tensions in the Middle East
where, he said, world peace may
be at stake"
