Mr.. Breimyer's comments

merit pay for teachers as a

Downtown Washington will
lose one-eighth of its off,
street parking space within the
next 10 years as a result Of
highway and civic construction,
the Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency was told yesterday.
AS a partial solution, one
agency member suggested i'm

Farragut Square, with others
to be built later.
However, other members IA
vored additional private park
ing lots instead.
Reporting the results of a
survey by the Inter-Agency

Parking, William D. Heath, the
parking agency's executive di-
rector, said that of $500 off,
street parking spaces now
available in an area generally
bounded by the proposed inner
loop highway, 1906 will be lost.
Hardest hit were those areas
where the Theodore Roosevelt

are to be built and where the

OF hot dogs and sausage.
While no firm deadline hangs
over the company, it was forced
to set up its own refrigeration
because of the expected end of
terminal warehouse operations.
Moving to Landover
Briggs & Co. will move some
time this Spring-to Landover,
Md, next to the warehouses of
Safeway Stores, Inc, and Giant
Food, Inc. A new plant is near
ing completion.
Immediately east of the ter

These two will be demolished
after November /. A new mar
ket will not be built but a new
inspection station will be con-
structed between l. and M

Already vacant and unused for
over two years is the Poultry
and Meat Market Building just
south of the inspection station.
To the north is the market
area at Eleventh and E streets
S.W. constructed together with
the meat market building in
1881.
Farmers Pulled Out
Originally this area, with its
two long, open-air sheds, was
used by farmers and growers
offering their products. BY
1855 all the farmers had pulled
out, having been replaced by
truckers brokers and whole
sale food men. Retail trade
fell off and the business of the
market shifted to wholesale &C
tivity. Its busiest days have
been experienced at Christmas
time with the sale of Christmas
trees and wreaths. There is no
strong objection to the demoli-
ton of the market and only a
handful of merchants remain.

THOUSANDS OF SCHOOL

THOUSANDS OF SCHOOL
CHILDREN had lined the
sidewalks for a glimpse of
the professions, and they
stood blue-f1ngered and cry
ing as the cars went by.
A huge ditchlike grave had
been prepared for the bur-
ials. Raw, red earth marked
the place where the children
were to be inferred.
Women buried their faces
in their husbands overcoats
to escape the clawing wind
that swept over the table
fiat graveyard.
AS the ceremony progressed,
the sound of mothers calling
their children's names was
carried on the wind. Some of
the parents tried to throw
themselves on the collins
and we're held back by their
families.
When it was over, the peo-
pie walked slowly back to
the cars, as if reluctant to
get out of the cold. Under a
leaden sky the cemetery was
deserted.
Among the black trees
waving their winter-bare
branches was a sculptured
figure of Christ, seated with
a boy and girl playing at His
knees.

legend:

Awakening

1t seemed very cold yester-

The furnace was off and
the extra blankets were out
of reach in the cupboard, on
the other side of the icy
room.
Awakening before sunrise
brought the feeling of hav-

which was most important
to remember. At last the
chill itself recalled an
assignment for The Star in
Chicago in the wintertime.

Teachers on duty in the

in northwest Chicago did
what they could to save the
lives of their 1900 pupils.
Nuns passed children out of
the windows to firemen.
They mufflled boys and girls
in overcoatS and rolled them
down the burning Stairways.
A passerby made five trips
into the flaming school,
emerging each time to put a
child safely on the curbstone.
Police who kept him from
going back a sixth time
learned later that the mans
own daughter was not among
the rescued.

Screening Ordered
On School Lunches
Needy Cases
To Be Okuyed
By principals

The District Commissioners
today approved screening pro-
cedures under which the $780,
900 free-lunch program for
1000 school children will be
carried out this year.
The program, approved by
Congress during the past ses-
sion, will start on Monday in
IA elementary schools.
The procedures, approved
quickly by Commissioners Rob-
ert E. Mclaughlin and A. C.
yelling, will be supplemented
by District school officials and
Welfare Department case
workers.
Cases Checked
School principals will certify
which children are "manifeStly
in need of food" Welfare De-
partment case workers will then
follow up each case, determin-
ing if the parents of the child
are unable to provide school
lunch.
Parents or guardians seeking
free lunches for their children
will have to file an application
with the school principals con-
tanning the following Informal
ton:
/. A certification that they
are unable to povide a lunch
for the child.
2. A statement as to why
they cannot provide lunch.
3. A statement on the eco
nomic status of the family.
4. An agreement to notify
the principal promptly when
changes in occupation or SAL
airy occur.
Family Expense Cases
Me awhile, welfare workers
will advise each school of those
cases where arrangements have
been made for children to have
lunches at family expense. Such
children will be removed from
the program.
The Commissioners will also
receive three reports on the
progress of the program from
School Superintendent Carl F.
Hansen. These reports will
touch on the number of appli-
cations, applications disap-
proved, authorizations and cost
OF the program per month.
Children admitted to the pro-
gram will receive a typical
lunch of meat, a sandwich, po-
tato salad, a half pint of milk
and fruit. Some children will
receive a bag lunch while others
will walk from their elementary
schools to cafeterias in junior
or senior high schools.
