Idea of Two Roosevelt High School Girls
Will Bring Dollars to Red Cross
Originate Drive
To Be Conducted
In Senior Units
Editor’s Note: A delegation of
students from Roosevelt High
School called at The Star on Fri
day to reguest aid in printing a
special Red Cross paper to further
a drive in the high schools for
war relief funds. Feeling the
origin and plan of the students'
drive was a public interest, The
Star asked one of Roosevelt’s
leading student reporters to write
a story about it. His story fol
lows:
By DANIEL HENKIN.
Having secured permission of the
Board of Education, Washington
high school students tomorrow will
begin their own campaign to boost
the District Red Cross war relief
fund.
With extensive plans launched by
two Roosevelt High School girls,
efforts are now being made to in
terest all high schools in the city
In the drive.
Here is the story of how the drive
originated and what the students
are seeking to do:
Greatly interested in aiding inno
cent victims of the war. Laurel Bol
giano and Daoma Winston, two
Roosevelt students, wished to print
an appeal for Red Cross donations
In the school paper. Learning that
a ban existed against solicitations
Of funds in the schools, the girls
wrote a letter of protest to Miss
May P. Bradshaw, principal of the
school. She, in turn, gave the letter
to Assistant Supt. Chester Holmes,
who read it at a Board of Educa
tion meeting on Wednesday. The
ban was thereupon lifted.
Restrictions Imposed.
Several restrictions were imposed
by the board, however, namely,
“that the contributions shall be
purely voluntary and that there
shall be no embarrassment to any
students who for various reasons
may not be able to contribute so
much as a penny to the fund.”
In a personal reply to Miss Bol
giano and Miss Winston, Dr. Holmes
wrote:
“May I say that it is very refresh
ing to find our high school students
so alive to the present-day emer
gency? I think you are to be con
gratulated on your initiative in un
dertaking to have such a drive for
funds for the unfortunates who
have not sought this war but who
are the primary sufferers from it.
Your humanitarianism is to be
highly commended.”
Long active in Red Cross work,
both girls belong to the Foreign
Correspondence Club and thus have
had the opportunity of reading let
ters from students in many of the
war-tom lands.
Grandmother Knitted.
During the Civil War, when the j
Red Cross was but an infant organi- j
zation. Miss Bolgiano's grandmother i
knitted for the soldiers. Her mother !
knitted for the Red Cross during j
the World War I, and today Miss
Bolgiano is continuing a job begun
In 1861.
Organizer of a knitting circle at
Roosevelt, Miss Winston contributed
three sweaters for Finnish relief.
She plans to do surgical wrapping
during the summer, and hopes to
organize a group of girls for this
work.
Both girls are occupying key po
sitions in the drive at Roosevelt.
Miss Bolgiano, who recently became
editor in chief of the school news
paper, The Reporter, will direct the
campaign. Miss Winston has been
placed in charge of Thursday’s ac
tivities. Borrowing an idea from
The Star's “Mile of Dimes” for
President's Birthday Ball funds, she
plans to have students place1 dimes
on the round table, located in the
main entrance of the school.
Plan High School “Extra."
Once having received the signal
to go ahead, high school students
have lost little time in planning the
campaign. One of the outstanding
features will be a one-page high
school “extra,” which The Star will
print as its contribution to the high
school fund.
Each of the high schools will have
an opportunity of contributing ma
terial for the “extra,” which will be
distributed to the various schools on
Wednesday. Miss Mildred Sears
and Bud Firestone will edit the spe
cial edition.

30 Policemen Ruled
Too Heavy for Horses
By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. June 8 —Thirty
of Philadelphia's mounted police
men learned today they must go
back to pounding pavements be
cause they're too heavy for the
horses to carry.
Investigating the required replace
ment of nine horses, Director of
Public Safety James H. Malone
found that 30 of the horses’ riders
weighed 200 pounds or more. Army
cavalrymen advised him that's
about 40 pounds too much for a
horse to carry.
“For purposes of efficiency and
economy,” Mr. Malone announced,
“I'm going to replace those 30 with
boys of the 160-pound type.”

ranged for today with Mr. De
Threre of the Belgium Embassy.
Roosevelt High has planned a fea
ture for each day this week. To
morrow, in an outdoor assembly,
Ted Barss will open the campaign.
On Tuesday, individual contribu
tions will be collected during section
periods. Movies will be shown on
Wednesday, with Thursday desig
nated as “cover the round table
day.” Present plans call for the
presentation of the class night play,
“The Wedding," on Friday. A
quota of $500 has been set at
Roosevelt.
Western High will conduct a brief
campaign, limiting collections to
tomorrow and Tuesday.
At McKinley High, a committee
of two, composed of Sarah Jane
Williams and John Stuntz, will con
fer with Principal Daniels tomorrow
morning in reference to a drive at
Tech.
Gladys Reed, an editor of the An
acostia Pow Wow, will discuss plans
with Principal John Paul Collins
tomorrow also.
Representatives from Wilson,
Eastern and Central will be urged
to co-operate at conferences either
today or tomorrow. All this is in
an effort to include every high
school in the Red Cross school cam
paign, which is to be conducted
solely by the students themselves.
Defense Spending
Brightens Outlook
For U. S. Business
Hopkins Sees Program
Offsetting Loss of
Foreign Markets
Increased national defense ex
penditures have brightened the bus
iness outlook in the United States,
Secretary of Commerce Hopkins de
clared yesterday in his survey of
business conditions and trends in
May.
Though it will be some months
before the arms expansion pro
gram reaches its full momentum,
new Government expenditures and
the investment of private capital
in defense enterprises, he said, will
more than offset any business drop
caused by events abroad.
The immediate reaction to Allied
reverses in May, which threatened
severe curtailment of our export
trade, was a sharp break in security
and agricultural prices,” Secretary
Hopkins said. “As a consequence,
the trend of consumer buying was.
distinctly unfavorable. By the er*f
of the month, however, it became
clear that the firm determination
of the Nation to make its defenses
impregnable was being translated
into an active Government pro
gram. This program gives promise
of pushing business forward re

gardless of developments abroad.”
With the invasion of the Nether
lands, Belgium and France, security
prices in May dropped sharply, Sec
retary Hopkins pointed out. Fol
lowing the start of a major offen
sive on the western front, com
modity prices began to rise. De
spite adverse stock market trends
and some contraction of consumer
purchasing, there was a definite
change for the better in industrial
activity. Among the favorable fac
tors was a sharp rise in steel pro
duction.
The aircraft, shipbuilding, elec
trical machinery and several other
industries maintained their high
production rates in May. The chem
ical industry continued to operate
at a high level. In part due to the
stoppage of Scandinavian mate
rials, paper mill activity registered
a further gain, to reach a level of
more than 90 per cent of Its ca
pacity. Wood pulp and paperboard
output also advanced.
Freight movements, Secretary
Hopkins said, seemed to indicate
that recovery embraced a broader
area than indicated by the pro
duction figures. Carloadings in
May reached the highest point of
the year, with a dally average of
about 113,000 cars, as compared
with 104,500 in April.
