THE EVENING STAR, WAS;HINGTON, D. C. TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1935. WESTERN CLASSES - ATNIGHT URGED Georgetown Group Feels Other Schools Are Too Distant. The Ceorgetown Citizens' Associa- tion went on record last night in| favor of night classes in Western High | School. 2 i Prank P. Leetch of the Executive | Committee said many desiring to at- tend night school were not able to.| because of the great distance to the | nearest school. No definite action was taken in | acquiring the old P street car barn | site for a park, but the association voiced its approval. It was announced that the National Park and Planning Commission also favors the plan. Bus Extension Asked. ‘The association adopted a resolu- tion providing for an extension of a “rush hour” bus line to accommodate citizens living in that area and who work in or near the new Government buildings on Constitution avenue. The secretary was instructed to send a letter to the Public Utilities Commission urging additional busses on the present Burleith line with a limited number to operate on Q street to Twenty-second street, from Twenty- second street, south to Virginia ave- nue, east to Constitution avenue and | down Constitution avenue to Tenth street. It will be urged that this extension be made, providing it will not curtail the present route to the| business_district. John Ihlder, Frank P. Leetch, Isaac B. Nordlinger, William E. La Rosa and B. A. Bowles, chairman, were selected as a committee to represent the as- sociation at a hearing of the Hazen plan, to relieve the traffic congestion | on M street. | Mrs. Clinton Ward, vice president of the Georgetown Recreation Council, spoke on the recreational facilities in Georgetown and urged the association | to co-operate with the council in| bettering the conditions for clean and healthful recreation. Georgetown Club Backed. ‘Two delegates. Admiral Spencer S. ! ‘Wood and Dr. B. H. Meyer, were ap- | pointed by the president to attend | the next meeting of the Georgetown Recreation Council. Acquisition of larger quarters for the Georgetown Boys' Club was ap- proved and the Committee on Schools was authorized to communicate with the trustees of the Linthicum Insti- | tute in reference to moving the pres- | ent club from its present quarters, at Thirty-first and M streets, to the Linthicum site. | ‘The Library Committee was given the authority to select such dona- | tions as they saw fit for the George- town room, to be opened some time | next October. A gala opening is to | be arranged, with several prominent speakers. e iler e Bridge Book Saves Lives. HAYS, Kans.

Plan to Teach Youths. The plan was developed by Lawton B Mellichampe, and in it he has the backing and inspiration of his sister, Miss Suzanne Mellichampe, a teacher at the Wheatley School. The idea is for the District to acquire a fleet small sailboats, handle them ITH a view to civilizing and guiding the gale, while de- veloping the compass in largely on a self-liquidating basis and | use them to teach members of boys’ | MORE CLASSICS AND FEWER SEX PROBLEMS Will Hays Says Present Trend of the Movies Is Toward the Conservative. NEW YORK, March 26 (#).—The movies are going in for more classics and less “sex” this year, says the annual report of Will Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, released to- day. The report cites the great success of pictures like “David Copperfield,” “Ruggles of Red Gap” and “The Lit- tle Minister” as the reason for the trend away from the more lurid type | of picture. “It his been easier to underestimate than to overestimate Main street's intelligent appreciation of quality en- tertainment,” Hays says. Scheduled productions of such works as “Hamlet,” “Midsummer Night's Dream,” “A Tale of Two Cities,” “Dante’s Inferno,” “Les Miserables” and Pearl Buck's “The Good Earth” were cited by the motion picture czar as proof of his assertion. He predicted that with technical improvements grand opera would soon | be within the scope of the industry. | Harness—Saddlery—Trunks— Luggage—Repairing of All Leather Goods G.W.King, Jr.,511 11thSt,N.W.

The result would be the training of a large number of youngsters in a sport that requires a sound and active brain.

Loyalty to Judaism “as the only means of . salvation for Israel” was demanded by Rabbi Louis Wolsey of Philadelphia, who termed the modern day “an age which is repaying in tears and in madness the logical re- sults of & despiritualized humanity.” “In the future, our salvation shall come not by a folk culture in a demo- cratic soclety, but through the total ideallsm of this historic people, an idealism which we call Judaism,” Rabbi Wolsey declared. “Judaism may live in spite of op- pressors who glibly talk of charity and religion, or who say that alienism must be destroyed from the United States, meanwhile allying themselves with the alienism of the New Friends of Germany. Judaism cannot live without Jews.” Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, stressed the good will existing between Christians and Jews. Mrs. Max C.

C. FIRE EQUIPMENT ASKED Trinidad Citizens Petition Committees to Back Requests. Adequate and improved fire equip- ment for the District was urged last night by the Trinidad Citizens’ Asso- ciation at its meeting held in the ‘Wheatley School. The association adopted resolutions | to be sent to the House and Senate District Committees asking that the recommendations of Fire Chief C. E. Schrom for new’ equipment receive favorable action at the hearings. A resume of the condition of some of the pieces of fire apparatus was given by J. Hs Thomas. He said 27 pleces are obsolete, some still with solid rubber tires. He urged that an engine company be located in the Trinidad section, as there is none from north of G street to New York avenue between North Capitol street and the Eastern Branch. There is a truck company located on Florida avenue near Trinidad avenue, he said. A letter was ordered sent to the Fire #» A7 Department asking installation of a fire alarm box near New York avenue and Bladensburg road. The association voted to support the Children's Hospital in its request for immediate and adequate relief through the deficiency bill.
