Plans ‘to increase the membership of the' Juvenile Protective Association, which is supported by the Community Chest, will be considered at the next meeting of the board of directors of the association, March 27. The association, which was formed for the purpose of meeting the needs of children before they go to court and before their habits are set in the ways of delinquency, never has had a formal list of members. Between 1,000 and 1,500 Washingto- nians contributed to its support before the assoclation joined the Community Chest. It is to get.back the interest of these persons and many more that the campaign is being planned. Mem- bership in the association, however, will involve no financial responsibility. “We want the interest and moral sup- port of as many people as possible,” said Miss Mildred Tetrett, executive secre- of the association. e_assoclation is the only non Chevy Chase, D.
