JACKSON PRIVATE CLUB
HOLDS REGULAR MEETING
WITH THE ]. ID. ANDERSON

The regular monthly meet
ing Of the Jackson Private
Club was held Sunday evening
February %, in the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. d. Anderson,
1886 Prosperity Street and was
opened with prayer. At the
close of very interesting bust
ness session the members en-
joyed a message from the
guest for the evening Miss
Minnie E. Parish, Field Direc-
tor of the Middle Mississippi
Girl Scouts Council. Miss Far
ish's visit was in the interest
of troop TIA at the School for
the Deaf. Miss Parish remind
ed the club members that they
had been sponsoring this troop
since February, 1855. Included
in this sponsorship was the
paying of registration fee for
two years; the buying of uni
forms, books, record albums,
electric alarm clock for the
building, hot plates, hot combs
and enough products, SC as to
help the students keep them
selves well groomed at all
times. Miss Parish stated that
the State Superintendent has
been so impressed with the
work of the Jackson Private
Club for the girls at the school,
that he is now appropriating
State funds to keep them and
their leaders registered in the
scouting program.
Miss Parish also brought out
that due to the splendid start

Girls Win Zone Two

A fired up Lanier team,
spanked by the brilliant drive
of Rudolph Williams, came
from behind GOLD and went
ON to defeat Hill High in the
finals of the Zone ,, Big 8
Tournament.
Lanier again showed that
they could win the big ones,
as the Tigrs of Hill had de-
feated the Bulldogs i'm two
previous outings-a "never say
die" attitude characterized the
entire contest.
Hill fell behind early in the
second quarter and was never
to lead the contest again The
1888 win was described by the
Lanier squad as the sweet
est victory OF the season.
AS one would expect, when
these two schools meet, ten
sion mounted steadily as the
game progressed, and by the
close of the 3rd period, ten
sion was fog thick.
Except for Rudolph Viii
liams' II points for Lanier,
there were no really high

everybody scored.

How to Care for a Lawn

of phosphorus will stimulate a good
root system, and potassium aids grass
in overcoming growing pains.
Air and water, of course, are muStS
for healthy lawn growth. But too much
rain can make surface soil impervious
to air or water. Unless channels for
air and water are re-establiShed, grass
roots will generally dehydrate and
Suffocate One of the best ways to do
this is to stab the lawn with tubular
tine fork until the surface Is uniformly
punctured. Heavy traffic also may
require similar surface repair work.
Supplementary watering should be
done just as the grass begins to wilt.
Water should be added slowly, taking
at least hours to Saturate the top
inch; otherwise, shallow roofing Is
encouraged with consequent suScepti-
bility to disease, insect attack and
damage from traffic. Fortunately, in
sect and disease attacks can be brought
under control through use of proper
sprays, including solutions of antibioticS.
Finally, say the Mount Vernon care
takers, lawn care is only as good as
the equipment used. A well-Sharpened
mower sometimes can do more for the
health and appearance of a lawn than
gallons or pounds of growth stimulant.

WITH THE approach of summer,

homeowner's agenda of garden chores.
At this critical point in the annual

For the home gardener who wants
inspiration for his chores, a conSidera-
ton of the lawns at Mount Vernon,
home of George Washington, may help
to infuSe him with new will to till.
Thanks to constant care and devotion,
the spacious Mount Vernon lawn is one
of the finest in the New World
Though few homeownerS face the
chore of moving 20 acres like the
Mount Vernon gardeners, they may use
some of the same principles. A blade

cuttings that are done regularly. Re

Speaking of Experts

Commissioner Mclaughlin has said
he would rather rely on an expert like
Chief Murray as to how many additional
policemen are needed in Washington
than on amateurs trying to work out
some kind of Justification for budget
considerations" He was expressing his
disapproval of a District Budget Office
recommendation that Chief MurrayS
request for 500 more men be cut to 100
men, with an allowance to pay police
men who volunteer for extra duty.
Chief Murray's plan would cost the
District $2.5 million more than the
$248.2 million budget recommended by
the District Budget Office, as compared
with the $770,600 cost of 100 policemen
and extra-duty volunteers. AS it stands,
the $248.2 million budget-without any
increase in the police force-will require
substantial increases in seven city taxes.
The new taxes are needed to raise $8.1
million additional revenue in 1861 and
$12.7 million on full-year basis. And
the end to this Spending-revenue spiral
is not in sight.
1t would be nice if Mr.. Mclaughlin
could find an expert to solve the problem
of securing the additional revenue
needed to finance a 500-man increase
in the Police Department.

They Call 1t Slavery

1t may be worth while to take
close look at the circumstances under
which. the President has invoked the
Taft-Hartley Act in the dock strike.
The contract expired September 80,
with the parties so close to an agree
ment that union representatives for the
northern ports agreed to extend the
old contract for Is days, with a proviso
that new contract be retroactive to
October /. This fell through and 10000
lockers left their jobs when employers
representatives for the Gulf ports re-
fused to 60 along with the retroactive
provision. BaSically, however, the dis
pute involves procedures for the use Of
labor-Saving machinery and techniques
The shippers claim the right to intro
duce new machinery and methods
subject to subsequent arbitration of
charges of unfairness to the workers.
The union wants advance notice of
new methods, and arbitration in case
OF protest, prior to the introduction
Of the new techniqueS.
In short, what is involved here is
a familiar kind of Acknowledgment
dispute. In nonesSential industry the
parties might well be left to fight it
out If unable to reach agreement
through negotiation. Sooner or later
they would come to an agreement.
! Shipping, however, is a critically
essential industry. The public depends
upon 1t for much Of its food, fuel and
other necessities. The Government
depends upon it for the importation of
strategic raw materials vital to our ma
tional defense. So the shippers and the
lockers cannot be left to fight it out.
It is imperative, in the public interest,
that work be resumed and that is why
the President has reSorted to the Taft
Hartley Act.
Union leaders are fond of calling
this slave labor law designed to crush
workers and their unions. But this
manifestly is not true. The resort 70
Taft-Hartley in this instance clearly
will not make slaves" of anyone and
will not crush the lockers or their
union. But it will protect the public
interest while it is in effect, and it is
the only lawful instrument available to
the Government for this purpose. AS
the public comes to understand this
fact, they will pay less and less atten-
ton to the phony propagandiStic out
cries with which Taft-Hartley is in
variably asSailed.

BULLYING Motorists Keep Pedestrians on Toes

is not the drivers negli
gence.)
A few days ago. a friend of
mine was hit by a car. I
don't know whose fault 1t
was, but she thinks the car
made a u or left turn. To-
day in Silver Spring, I saw
a man almost hit as he
walked in the cross-walk be-
hind a car, that had pulled
up to a stop sign. Another
driver making a left turn
didn't see him. One night I
was walking at an intersec-
ton in Bethesda when a car
made a swift right turn that
might have been my undoine
had I not leaped quickly
back.
This is not the first time
I've missed death at an in
tersection as I carefully
obeyed the law. Though I'm
normally a meticulously law
abiding citizen, I really pre-
fer frequently to cross the
street, alone or with my small
children. in the middle of the
block. Here I can look to left
or right and judge my
chances. At the more heavily
travelled intersection, I'm fair
game for every left or right

Your small news item of
October / was very clear:
Thirty-one pedestrian traffic
fatalities, and 90 not due to
the negligence of the drivers.
The conclusion Is obvious,
and should be of comfort to
the widow and widower- and
orphan-makers.
It is comforting to me, a
motorist, too, although some
times I forget myself and
take a walk, or while driving,
forget that I have a mon
ster's strength. Occasionally
I give way to another motor
list, even though the right
of-way is mine. Occasionally
on some rainy day I stop at
an intersection to let a wet
pedestrian hurry past; occa-
sionally on a pleasant sum-
mer's day I stop before the
cross-walk so that the walk
ers will not have to hurry
around me before the slow
light changes. lights, of
course, are slow only for the
man behind the wheel; they
are quite fast when you walk
across q wide street, and If,
you don't run part way, you
may become a statistic that

turning car. The light, If
there is one, is with me, but
the automobiles are bigger
and stronger and quicker.
And if the light changes. I'm
game for the fast-starting
driver.
In Los Angeles 13 years
ago, I saw all cars on many
heavily travelled streets stop
when a pedestrian entered a
cross-walk. That is the law,
and there's a heavy penalty
for failing to obey it. Some
longer blocks even had a
cross-walk in the middle of
the block. Several months
ago in Los Angeles, teeming
with people and cars even
more than this area, I still
saw autos stop for pedestri-
ans.
Negligence lies not so much
with individual drivers or pc
destrians as with sloppy laws
that encourage carelessness
and sheer discourtesy by the
motorist. We need laws and
penalties and education so
that pedestrians may walk
without fear and without the
indignity of having to dodge
bullying drivers.
