Body and Four Others
A Burden to BiIiy,]0

Ten-year-old Billy stood at
the door of the neighborhood
house with the baby in his
arms and four younger broth
ers and sisters trailing after
him. He couldn't have come
at all without them.
His mother has made it clear
that the children are his re-
sponsibility-that wherever he
goes, they must go, too.
She explains that with the
house to take care Of and the
meals to prepare. she can't be
expected to look after the chill
dren.
But their small crowded
house, lighted with oil lamps,
shows little signs Of care.
Billy's father works regular
ly, but his take-home pay Of
$50 a week doesn't go far. He
feels he has done his part for
his family when he brings
home his paycheck, There is
no such thing as an outing
with his father for Billy. /,
A little boy forced by circum-
stances to be a mother and
father to the younger children
in the family. Billy is not sure
how to act with contemporaries.
He tells them what to do. as
he tells bis little satellites.

Pedestrian Sofety
Here Falls From
lst to 5th Place

Washington dropped from
first to fifth place in pedestrian
safety ratings last year, the
American Automobile Associa-
ton announced yesterday.
Under the AAA's rating sys-
tenn, the number of pedestrian
traffic fatalities and the city's
pedestrian safety program are
given equal weight in arriving
at rating figures.
Washington's Al traffic
deaths last year were 3.5 per
cent higher than the average
OF the two previous years. This
placed the city fifth behind
Milwaukee, Seattle San Fran
cisco, and Cleveland.
A spokesman for the AAA
said the figures don't reflect q
lax safety program. The drop
was due to bad luck and a
surprising drop in pedestrian
deaths in Milwaukee
Washington is of TO = better
start this year, with only Z pc
destrian deaths, compared to
10 at this time last year.

Falls Church
School Fee
Plan Fails

An instructional supplies fec
planned for all Falls Church
pupils next fall has been ne
clared mot legally enforce
able" by the State Board Of
Education. according to Scnool
Board Chairman Richard
Saintsing.
Mr.. Saintsing noted that the
State ruling would mean that
Falls Church school authorities
would have to rely on the VOL
untary cooperation of the par
ents and I'VE can't take a
chance on that because our
budget is too tight"
The supplies assessment,
which would have raised $4.700
needed to balance the budget,
was agreed on by the school
board last week as it revised
its l958-59 operatine budget to
meet the $l07 .423 cut made by
the City Council.
A special meeting of the
school board has been called
tomorrow night to find an
alternate source for the S4.700.
Mr.. Saintsing said every effort
will be made not to touch the
new $3,800-$6,000 teacher
salary scale. but he admitted
that I'VE are now in a tight
spot"
The school board will also
set a date for the organization
OF the new board which takes
Office July l. New board men,
bers will be Lytton H. Gibson.

HE LIVES in New Rochelle,
N. Y, He has to do a lot Of
the directing by remote con-
troll. He has a new manager,
Charles Goldschmidt, who
has also been there a little
over a year. Mr.. Goldschmidt
certainly did his best last
night to get the restaurant
off to a good start on its
second century.
A tabloid sheet entitled
"Harvey's Anniversary Her
aid" gave the history of the
first century. Thomas Har-
vey had a general provision
store at New York avenue
and Tenth street. In 1858
with his younger brother,
George, he converted a black
smith shop at Eleventh and
C streets NOW in the Fed
eral Triangle) into an oyster
packing house with a raw
bar.
The Star was then six years
old. During the Civil War,
which started three years
later, Harvey's occasionally
put paid notices in The Star
that a shipment of oysters
had arrived. All was not al
ways quiet on the Potomac
in the early part of the war.
There were periods when the
oyster boats couldn't come
upriver from Norfolk with
their cargoes of Lynnhavens.
Thomas Harvey's speciality
was steamed oysters. On one
occasion President and Mrs.
Lincoln together with Mrs.
william H. Seward, wife of
the Secretary Of State, came
there to eat them.
In 1867, two years after
the war, Harvey's moved to
Eleventh and the Avenue
where it remained until 1881.
In 1869, George Harvey
bought his brother out.
George Harvey'S rotund
appearance has been pre-
served for posterity in a de-
lightful cartoon by Thomas
Mast, the man who created
the Tammany Tiger. Harvey
looked something like Grover
Cleveland. At any rate 1t was
the day Of the mustaehe. He
lived well into this century.
