Community Chest Dollars in Action | | JERTAIN HOLDING The Community Chest reports that its afiliated organizations aid, in some manner, more than one- fourth of the entire population of Washington during the year. This is one of a series of stories to ap- pear in The Star each Sunday, showing typical examples of the: aid given. Only the mames are Actitious. A dramatic instance of how “his- tory repeais itself” is in the process of being worked out at the Northeast Boys’ Club. More than 30 years ago, when Noel House, the forerunner of the North- east Boys' Club, was located on H street northeast, there existed in the neighborhood a group of boys who had formed themselves into a “gang.” Any convenient street corner was their meeting place, and some of their escapades verged close to the line where the police would begin to take an_interest One of the ring leaders of this “gang” was induced one night to at- tend a meeting at Noel House, where games were provided and where, even at that time, instructions in athletics were being given. He took an interest in the work being carried on and joined one of the clubs. Lines Old “Gang” Up in Work. Later, in 1906, Mrs. Robert L. Bacon gave the club its present home at 1663 Kramer street northeast, and this boy continued his interest. He had grown considerably by this time and had started work with a company of which he was later to be general manager. He worked hard as a volunteer and helped many of the younger boys to learn the principles of sportsmanship that would make them better men later in life. Several members of his old “gang” had joined with him and he soon lined them up in the work with boys which he'enjoyed. Business cares became pressing and after a time ‘this man, although still friendly to the club, ceased his active interest. The years rolled on and the club became a member of the Community Chest. Belng civic- minded and also a business man, the economy and efficiency of the Chest plan for one campaign a year ‘ap- pealed to him and he became a sup- porter of the Chest. His old love, the Northeast Boys’ Club, still held its appeal and each year his gift has -] %eruin portion designated to this club. Knows What Clubs De. “I know what these clubs do for boys,” he said recently, “and in my opinion there is no finer piece of welfare work in the city than the helping of the youngsters who find practically their sole recreation in boys' clubs. 1 know what the old Noel House accomplished in’ break- ing up our gang and taking us from the streets and I feel sure that the clubs today, with their trained per- sonnel, are doing this work still more effectively.” | This man’s story is practically re- | peated, so far as the opening chap- ters are concerned, in the life of one youngster who has been a member of the club for some time since it be- came affiliated with the Chest. Taken from a street corner. ‘“gang” he be- came an enthusiastic club member and in turn helped train some of the younger boys. . | His story still further parallels the experience of the old times in ques- {tion in that the youngster is now working in an organization similar to that headed by the man who first started at Noel House, and has the same opportunity that the other had-| to climb to the top. Chest dollars helped the second youngster.as, the | forerunners of Chest dollars ‘helpsd | the first. Tender Note Sent Twinge of Jealousy But It All Ends Happily When Gift’s Date Is Remembered.

WORKERS MAY RUN FOR OFFICE Arlington Democratic Chair- man Says They May Make Race Independently. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. EAST FALLS CHURCH, Va., March 2.—Civil service employes of the Fed- eral Government may participate in the forthcoming general county elec- tion as independent candidates, not- withstanding the fact there are party candidates in the field, without jeopardizing their civil service status, Charles R. Fenwick, chairman of the Arlington County Democratic Execu- tive Committee, said today, following a conference with high civil service officials. The conference was arranged by Fenwick after numerous protests had been heard from over the county against the Democratic Committee’s | decision te hold a primary election |to select its candidates for county | offices. . U. S. Employes Protest. ‘The protests, largely from Govern- | ment employes and _their friends, | maintained that the Executive order of May 20, 1931, allowed civil service employes residing in the county to participate in local elections only when their participation was non-partisan. The protestants said that having | party-supported candidates in the field would preclude them from running | as independents, since, in working for | their own election they necessarily J would be working against the election {of a party candidate, and it would be “partisan politics.” Fenwick pointed out at the confer- ence with Chief Examiner L. A. Moyer, technical adviser to the commission, and Commissioners Harry B. Mitchell, | president, and Mrs. Luycille Foster Mc- | Millin, that the Republican party hed |a full slate in the field, selected at |a convention, in the county elections |of 1927 and 1931; that in 1931 two (civil service employes had run as nominees of the Republican party, and had been reprimanded, whereas those civil service employes who had |run independently had received no such reprimand. Fenwick Statement. Following the conference, Fenwick said: “It was the opinion of Commission- ers Mitchell and McMillin and Chief Examiner Moyer that civil service employes, by virtue of the Executive order, could run as independents for county offices, even though, nominees of political parties were running for the same office, and that their civil service status would not be endangered, so long as they did not attack the nominees of political parties because of theiy political affiliations: that they could engage in joint debates and otherwise attack the records and qualifications of the candidates, pro- vided the discussion did not involve political affiliations; that civil service employes had a right to vote in pri- maries, but could not run as nom- inees of any political party; that they may also openly support individual candidates, as individuals, but not as party nominees.” | — Concert to Be Given.

Nice Acts to Protect Site of Bladensburg Memorial Spectal Dispatch to The Star. BLADENSBURG, Md., March 2— Gov. Harry W. Nice of Maryland has advised former State Senator Oliver Metzerott of Chillum, Prince Georges County, that he has asked Chairman Smith of the State Roads Commission to take stéps immediately to “prevent the desecration” of the Prince Georges County World War Memorial Cross at the intersection of the Washington- Baltimore Boulevard and the National Defense Highway here. Efforts are being made Qy the owners to have the property adjoining the cross rezoned commercial so that a filling station might be erected there. A hearing on the matter was conducted by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission recently and it is now considering the case. Its re- zoning 1is strongly protested by war veterans, civic organizations and others. Metzerott recently took a number of pictures:of the property and for- warded these to Gov. Nice along with the suggestion that the State Roads Commission condemn the property as part of the State roads system, paying the owners reasonable damages. He pointed out to the Governor that the plot is now surrounded by State Roads #» B3 Commission property and construee tion of a building there would cone Atitute a traffic hazard as it would obstruct the view of motorists. —_—— NEW SPY CASE HINTED AS FRENCH JAIL WOMAN By the Associated Press.
