of the Northeast Conference of the
Citizens’ Associations, which repre
sents 11 civic organizations.
The conference took up the long
standing fight of the Trinidad Citi
( Bens' Association when a motion
demanding elimination of all ob
| scene literature from newsstands to
i protect children of school age was
introduced by Earl H. Pickel. dele
gate from that association. Banning
the literature was seen as the first
step toward reducing the great
amount of juvenile delinquency in
District schools. Mr. Pickel said the
periodicals in question are available
at a very low price, and their sale
has increased tremendously during
the last few years.
Reported use of marijuana ciga
rettes and other sensual practices
by juveniles of school age was dis
cussed by the group.
Seek Cross-Town Bus.
Cross-town bus service, connect
ing Bladensburg vicinity directly
with upper Connecticut and Wiscon
sin avenues N.W. was favored. The
extension of the Trinidad-Glover
Park line was discussed as an aid
to the problem. A committee of six
was appointed to make plans for ob
taining the service.
Views of the Trinidad associa
tion opposing the merger of Fir©
Truck Company No. 13 with Engine
Company No. 10 were upheld by
the conference. The group also
asked that any buildings left va
cant by the proposed merger of
fire companies be converted into
branch libraries. A new delegate,
N. E. Phillips of Metropolis View
Citizens’ Association, asked that the
Woodridge library be opened on five |
nights a week instead of two. He
suggested a new, larger branch

Investigation of smoke reported
coming from a laundry and straw
! factory in the Northeast section

More efficient snow removal in the
future also was asked.
To Hear Welfare Talks.
A motion calling for a large in
crease in the appropriation for local
welfare work, to help raise living
conditions and thus reduce crime in
the District, was tabled when it was
decided to invite informed persons
to speak at the next meeting. The
Increase was to be used to employ
more case workers. The guests in
vited to speak are Robert E. Bondy,
welfare director of the District; |
George J. Cleary, president of the
! Trinidad Citizens’ Association, and
| F. J. McDonald, ex-president of the
Dahlgren Terrace Association.

the scope of free education of non
resident students in Washington ■

mously and Senator King's attitude
toward the matter was commended.
