materials from the Sav-Mor
Drugs warehouse.
Detective Chief Edgar E.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Molly, q Shy Girl,
Has responsibilities

At Is, most girls are chiefly
concerned about school and
parties.
But not Molly. She's worried
about feeding and caring for
her eight brothers and sisters.
The thin, shy young girl has
assumed the responsibility as
head of her family simply be-
cause there is no one else to
do it.
Her father, a heavy drinker,
rarerly works and is an infre-
quent visitor to the home.
When he does show up a
family fight invariably devel-
ops. Molly's mother seems to
have given up all hope.
Until Molly took over. the
house went uncleaned, meals
were cooked irregularly if at
all and her eight brothers and
sisters ran undSclpllned.
Molly tried to bring a little
order into their lives by clean
ing the house and cooking the
meals regulraly. But the job
was just too much for her. Her
own health failed and she has
spent several months in Dis
trict General Hospital.
Doctors feel there is a definite
connection between her health
problems and her concern for
her brothers and sisters. They
noticed, for example, that her
condition grew worse when she
learned that the family faced
eviction because the father
drank UP the rent money.
Even in her own poor physi-
cal condition she couldn't stop
worrying about the other chill
dren in the family.

needed relief from the adult

Curfew Plan

Loiterers and JOY riders in
Greenbelt, Md, soon may be
sent home or arrested under a
new ordinance being prepared
by city officials.
The city council last night in
structed City Manager Charles
T. Mcdonald to draft an ordi-
nance based on ones recently
adopted in the District and
Fairfax County, Va.
Restrictions on loiterers and
car Joy riders have been dis
cussed by the council for sew
eral months but was brought
to a head last night by reports
Of two recent accidents. These
involved Greenbelt youths who
apparently were joy riding late
at night or early in the morn
ing, Mr.. Mcdonald said.
Mr.. Mcdonald said he has
not yet decided on an age limit
or hours. The ordinance will
provide a penalty, he said.
Fairfax County's regulation is
effective from 10 pm. to 6 am,
while the Districts time limit
is 10 pm. to 5 am. and affects
persons l8 years and under.
Greenbelt's ordinance proba-
bly, would affect only a few
troublesome persons, Mr.. Nc
Donald said.
But it would let parents
know their children should be
home by a certain hour at
night" he said.
Greenbelt police chief James
Williams said he thought the
new law should not apply only
to juveniles. He said police
have had particular trouble
with youths 18 to 81 years who
hang around the streets until
late hours. then steal hub-caps.

He said police now can only
charge youths with disorderly
conduct, and this often is hard
to prove in court.
Greenbelt, with a population
of 1900, would be the second
Prince Georges community to
have a law aimed at loiterers.
A Juvenile curfew ordinance
went into effect last January in
Seat Pleasant.
