SEND A KID TO CAMP
Home Not Much Fun
For These Brothers

Carl and Tom hate to go home
when the settlement house closes.
It's so much more comfortable
there than in their own home.
Ten-year-old Carl is a real big
brother to 9-year-old Tom.
Carl is well behaved, honest
and industrious. He wants to be
Ia policeman some day. He al
ready shows leadership ability,
and is president Of a group at
the settlement house, where he
spends much of his free time.
Tom is inclined to be mis-
l:hievous. Carl tries to teach
him to do the right thing. Once
when Tom said he had lost q
dollar he owed, Carl went out
and worked extra hours selling
papers in order to pay his BROTH
er's debt.
Home for Carl and Tom is two
rooms. with a shared kitchen
and bath, in a crowded section
of town. They live with their
mother and two other children
A fifth child died last winter.
Their father deserted his fam
lily, and their mother keeps the
family going with the aid OF
welfare funds.
Without much supervision
from home. the children find the
settlement house filling a biz
place in their lives.
These little boys need all tn,
Outside help they can get Il

of Carl are matured and en-.
couraged and that Tom doesnr
get off on the wrong track.
Last year. Carl went to sum-
mer camp. He came home much
impressed. and wants to take hi.
brother this year. One Of the
things he liked especially wa.
the fact that at camp there
was facilities for the campers tC
wash their clothing and keer
things neat.
A trip to camp for Carl and
Tom would take them away from
the hot, congested city for Il
days in the fresh country air. II
would give them well-balanced
regular meals, the kind they
don't get at home. 1t would be
an experience they could re.

Schuyler Lowe, District Di.
rector of General Administration
today was instructed to plan fol
a new approach for setting ur
the Districts budget for the fisca,
year beginning July /, 1857.
The new approach was recon.
mended by the Citizens Advisors

In a letter to the Commits.
sionerS, advising them OF the

that only after the anticipated
revenue figures are arrived al
should the Commissioners study
the department needs and how
much can be allocated to each
operation for the year.
The agencies. the council fur
ther stated, should be required tc
live within their ALLEGATIONS as
their basic budget" Any re.
quests higher than the allocatec
sum should then be submitted tc

Cadet Teacher Appeals
Unsatisfactory Roting
BY JAMES G. DEANE


A Washington high school
military instructor is appealing
an unsatisfactory" rating given
to him by his principal which
may cost his job.
The instructor, Harry B.
Andree, jr., is assigned to Calvin
Coolidge High School. He is
being backed in his fight to
change his rating by top-rank-
ling cadets at the school, as we'll
as a group of their parents, The

The Coolidge military instruc-
tor. who holds the rank of first

able rating several weeks ago.
He had been rated satisfactory
for two previous years at
Coolidge.
Based on Incompetence
Coolidge Principal Cedric E.
Reynolds said the unsatisfactory
rating, which has been approved
by Assistant School Supt. Carl
F. Hansen, was based on "gen-
eral incompetence" of 1t. Andree
as an instructor.
Mr.. Reynolds said that
Coolidge did poorly in all COM
petitions" this year, but he
added:
I'm not basing the rating on
that"
The Coolidge principal re-
ferred further questions to DR.,
Hansen.
DR.. Hansen declined to discuss
the case in detail. He has sched-
uledNa hearing for 10 am. Tues
day at which both 1t. Andree

proved yesterday by the Mary

The plans include controver-
sial proposals for an extension

Arthur Stellhorn, planning
engineer, told the commissioners
lat a meeting in Riverdale that
Montgomery County Manager M.
II. Reese has included in his pro-
posed budget for next year funds
flor the first half of the Waverly
street project.
Route Outlined
The first portion, he. said,
would run from East West high

widening of the present Waver-
lily street and an overpaSS for the
Baltimore & Ohio railr o a d
tracks. 1t is intended to include
funds for the remaining portion

The commissioners also ap-
proved a staff recommendation
that the county acquire all OF

THERE'S A SET fee of rs
cents an hour for odd jobs
like cutting that fast-growing
grassland so cents an hour
for daytime baby sitting. 1t
started out at rs cents, dropped
to go cents, then went back up
to rs cents again.
Paul Junior High has
helped a lot by offering courses
on how to operate a power
mower and how to baby-sit, "
Mr.. Snead says.
Complaints have averaged
about l per cent of all the jobs
done. That's where the paper
work comes in.
I'VE send a postcard along
with the youngster," Mr.. Snead
says, "and ask the person for
whom the job is being done to
let us know whether it was
satisfactory. And even among
that l per cent, a lot of times
it's not the fault of the kid,
but because the person he
works for expects too much
from him."
The baby-sitting is handled
through the parents of the
girls who do the sitting.
That's proven very salts
factory" Mr.. Snead says.
'Then the parents of the girls
can weed out the " satisfac-
tory jobs"
A handy arrangement like
the odd jobs project is enough
to make a man petition Con-
gress to extend Area F city
wide, so those lawn chairs can
be enjoyed.
