Home Canvass Begun In $100,000 Drive For Police Boys' Club Hershey Says Country Must Train Its Youth, Cites Draft Rejections Seeking $100,000 to carry on the work of the Metropolitan Police Boys’ Club, some 500 volunteer solicitors today began a house-to ' house canvass after hearing Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey. Selective Service director, declare that Amer ica must train its manpower in youth. Gen. Hershey, speaking at the opening of the drive at the Willard Hotel last night, said that by proper training of youth America could overcome the neglect which led to rejection for physical unfitness of half of the 3,000.000 men called for service. Democracies, he said, are not fully appreciative of the necessities of developing skills, both mental and physical, in their youths. He pointed to the extensive programs of phy sical training of boys among the dictatorships as indicative of their awareness. Gen. Hershey urged that the full est effort be put into the drive, declaring that the Police Boys’ Club program gives to deserving youths training of the mind, of the body and of character. Maj. Edward J. Kelly, superin tendent of police, commended his predecessor, Ernest W. Brown, for his "foresight and wisdom” in de veloping the clubs. In response Maj. Brown traced the history of the organization and stressed its value in prevention of juvenile de linquency.

Entertainment was pro vided by Perry Martin of Station WRC. accompanied by Miss Grace Shannon; the Keystone Quartet of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Police Boys’ Club Band and the club’s harmonica band. 24 Browne Junior Pupils Receive Certificates From First Assistant Supt. of Schools Garnet C.
