Recalling only , that his father, a
prohibition advocate, had taken him
for a walk to “sober up,” Bready

Juvenile Delinquents
Will Be Remembered
At Christmas
Woman's Council of
Church Federation
Plans Projects
Youngsters who have run afoul
of the law for minor infractions
and thus, in some instances, have
become known as delinquents, will
not be forgotten by the Washing
ton Federation of Churches ,at
Christmas time.
The Woman’s Council of the Fed
eration has outlined four projects
for its Juvenile Court Department
to carry out during the holiday
season.
The first will be Christmas wor
ship services to be held at 5 pm.
on Christmas Eve in Washington’s
inhabited alleys. The services will
be supervised by Mrs. Frank A.
Linzel, president, and Mrs. Thomas
J. Howerton, chairman, of the Ju
venile Court Department.
The second will be to provide the
family of one of these errant youths
with a Christmas tree, dinner and
gifts for all the members of the
family.
The /third will be to fully clothe
a high school boy, since many cases
have come to the attention of the
council where boys are ashamed to
go to school or even leave the house
because of the lack of decent cloth
ing.
The fourth will be raising a fund,
through cash donations, to provide
a family with coal, food and other
necessities.
Persons anxious to aid in any of
the projects should get in touch
with Miss Etta Mai Russell, at Ju
venile Court Building, 472 Indiana
avenue N.W.
