Mansfield, director of The Star’s School Safety Program, greets some of the 700 safety patrol members he entertained at his tenth annual “safety jamboree” yesterday. —Star Staff Photo. Mansfield's 'Safety Jamboree Delights 700 School Children More than 700 delighted school children were the guests of retired Police Inspector Richard H. Mans field at his 10th annual “safety jam boree” for school safety patrols of his old command, No. 9 Precinct. The director of The Star’s School Safety Program himself was the fea ture with the crayons and drawing board he has carried with him to' almost all the city’s schools during his decade as a safety salesman. The inspector, who turned his full time to safety after retiring as chief of detectives in 1942. drew laughter and cheers for his expert cartooning of characters from his traveling “safety circus”—Ginger and Leo, the lions; Honk Honk, the bicycling elephant, and others. But it wasn't just fun. With each line went a safety rule, and at one point the in spector even sang a song about traffic lights—to the tune of “Jingle Bells.” “How about the old elephant?” ha asked his eager audience, all members of the Inspector's "Safe ty Carefuliers.” “Yes!” in a chorus—and he magi cally appeared, even to the crowning ! “new look” of nail polish on his toes. Even 5-year-olds couldn't help laughing at that. “But we know he never rides on the handlebars,” the inspector cau tioned, along with a half-dozen other warnings in quick succession. Many ware the sad faces when the artist cut short his drawing. But they brightened again when a string of cartoons and comedies came on the screen. Afterward there was free ice cream. . Assisting Inspector Mansfield was Pvt. Joseph J. Junghens, safety co ordinator of the precinct, which has more schools than any other In the city. The party was held at the Atlas Theater, 1331 H street N.E., through co-operation of Frank M. Boucher, Kogod-Burka Theaters general manager. Mrs. Ida Clark played the piano for the safety singing. Movies in Film Car Entertain Troops ! Members of the Allied Army Cin ema Corp. in occupied Germany have converted a former German railway coach into the first “cinema on-rails” there, and when troops traveling between Hamburg and Krefeld find the 300-mile journey boring they go to the movlea. Walls and ceiling have been draped with cloth to reduce the noise and carpets have been laid. Windows have been boarded up, and coats-of-arms of the visited towns are used as decorations. Films shown are mostly shorts—newsreels, comedies and travel. SOLD » INSTALLED • SERVICED ELECTRIC SINK L PLUMBING HEATING CAMERAS ■ oH&ty I CREMLl BRAKES RELINED While You Wait!
