In world divided not merely

How to approach the manage

staggering debt and responsible

Wheel Toys
Create Hazard
To Motorists

Roller skates, scooters, bikes,
wagons and sleds have gladdened
the hearts of many children this
Christmastide, but they can bring
sorrow and tragedy to many fam
lilies if the children are not doubly
careful when using their gifts of
rolling stock" on city streets and
suburban roads, warns the Key
stone Automobile Club.
Motorists should be doubly
watchful for unexpected forays
of children on the streets at this
season." said August G.. Detlof,
manager of the club in Maryland.
youngsters unskilled in the use
of skates or bikes are an especial
hazard. Their safety will depend
in great measure on the careful
operation of motor vehicles.
Parents also must take their
share of responsibility for child
safety. Their duty is to impress
on children the dangers of traffic
burdened streets and to instill in
the youngsters a sense of care
fitness in the use Of their gifts.
1.-THE Christmas sled will be-
come an increasingly serious
problem, as the winter progress
es, and what we have said in
reference to bikes and other vehi-
cles applies with equal force to
shedding.
I'VE would suggest that police
rope off for use of children little
Travelled streets and highways,
confine shedding to such areas.
Obviously the situation presents
difficulties, but with cooperation
of parents the plan is entirely
feasible"

TB Seal Fund
Tops $4,000
For County

A total of S70,671 has been re-
ceived from some $4,000 contribu-
tors to the Christmas Seal sale
campaign of the Montgomery
County tuberculosis Association
and returns are still coming in,
Plummer M. Shearin, chairman
of the 1855 Christmas Seal sale
announced today. This money
will be used by the tuberculosis
Association in their work to pre-
vent tuberculosis in Montgomery
County.
Every tuberculosis patient has
a right of help in returning to
as normal a life as possible and
the citizens of our county are
pointing the way toward that goal
by their contributions to this
years Christmas Seal Campaign"
Mr.. Shearin said.
Pointing out that headlines for
receiving contributions are never
set by the association, since all
funds are used for a year round
program and a common cause,
Mr.. Shearin indicated that the
goal of $4,000 would be reached
as the late returns come in.
Mr.. Shearin said that the X-ray
plans for 1856 are already under
way. During the months of jan
uary and February it is estimated
that 10000 persons will use the
facilities of the mobile X-ray
unit. Included in that number
will be all students from the ninth
to twelfth grades in schools
throughout the County as well as
the school personnel, Board of
Education employees and also en-
ployees from private businesses
whose employees have requested
the X-ray service.
This, of course, is only a, sim
gle phase of the Associations
program which is made possible
by the purchase of Christmas
Seals during the fund raising

Miss Maxine Perryman OF Lex

Cotton Makers visited in Miami

the Spirit of Cotton Makers is,
according to Mrs. Venson, to adj
vertise and publicize the nations
greatest agricultural staple, cot
ton, to provide an emissary OF
cotton fashions and good will; to
meet a need for expression for a
minority group; and to create a

Mounting Fire Losses

The alarming increase in fire losses
in Washington during the past several
years warrants the special attention
which the Commissioners and civic groups
have devoted to the problem this week,
officially designated as Fire Prevention
Week. The Randle Highland Citizens
Association recently urged the Commits
sioners to institute year-round fire
inspection service for home owners and
business firms, citing a rise in per capita
fire losses from $199 in fiscal 1854 to
$3.50 in 1855 and to 1923 in 1856.
The Commissioners have responded
to appeals from civic and trade sources
by appointing a 10-member Advisory
Council on Fire Prevention, headed by
Marcus Borchardt, chairman of the Board
of Trades Committee on Public Safety.
The membership is representative Of
varied business, professional and civic
interests in Washington. The task Of
the council will be to study causes of the
rise in fire losses here and to recommend
technical, educational or other measures
for reducing them Much has been &C
complished in several other large cities
by enlisting public interest in and support
Of fire prevention programs. A similar
movement here would be well worth the
effort.

Victory for Consumers

The sensible decision of the Rich
mond Circuit Court invalidating retail
pr1ce-f1xing of milk in nearby Virginia is
reSounding victory for consumers. The
Virginia Milk Commission in the past has
given consumers little or no consideration
in its milk-price orders. In fact, its in
different attitude toward the retail buyers
OF milk became so fragrant that the State
Supreme Court of Appeals last year
directed the commission to comply with
the law requiring the fixing of maximum
as we'll as minimum retail prices or else
to withdraw from the Arlington-Fairf
area.
The Circuit Courts decision, unless
overruled by higher tribunal, will permit
diaries serving nearby Virginia commu-
mites to lower their prices to the level
prevailing in Washington Highs Dairy
Products Co. and Safeway Stores had
protested to the court that the commits
sion's price policy was grossly discrimina-
tory insofar as their Virginia customers
were concerned. Virginians have been
paying several cents more quart for the
same quality milk sold District customers.
The court agreed that the commission had
"abuSed" its discretionary powers in
failing to lower the price for the benefit
of Virginia consumers.
The Virginia Milk Commission long
ago outlived its usefulness in the nearby
counties. It's original purpose was to
protect dairy farmers of the area from
destructive price-cutting. But the law
also required it to protect consumers from
too-high prices-an obligation which it
never took seriously. The dairy farmers
in the area largely have disappeared, with
the march of urban development. The
commission should have withdrawn from
the area long ago.

Foirfox Business Tax

It is not surprising that Fairfax
County is planning to adopt a business tax
as part of its revenue producing structure.
With other taxes rising as the need for
expansion Of public services grows, the
county's need for additional revenues
has become acute. Fairfax County is the
only jurisdiction in nearby Virginia with
out business tax.
Impetus has been given the business
tax movement by the opening Of the big
shopping center at Seven Corners More
than two-score stores eventually will be
doing business in that commercial center.
The county's desire 70 tap such an at
tractive source Of additional tax funds
is understandable. For a study has re-
yealed that % Virginia cities derive near
~ 20 per cent Of their local revenues
from business taxes. Fairfax can hardly
afford to ignore this tax source much
longer.
