B— ABILITY T0 SWIM PROMOTES SAFETY Senator Green Points Out| Need in Boating—Lesson Applications to Close. “Swimming is almost a necessity for those who live near the water, and | this, of course, includes all Washing- | tonians,” Senator Green of Rhode | Island declared today in indorsing the | current Young Men's Christian Asso- eiation men's learn-to-swim campaign, being conducted in co-operation with ‘The Star. Referring to the campaign and its purpose of interesting persons in learn- ing how to swim, Senator Green said: “If they do not already know how, this reminds them they should learn. It they already know how, this re- minds them that they can still improve their style.” Rescue Sometimes Difficult. Senator Green dwelt on both the eafety and pleasure features of swim- ming. “If one goes out in a sail boat, row boat or canoe; if one travels on an excursion boat; if one stands on a | wharf or river bank. there is always | the possibility of finding one's self in the water,” he said Pointing out it is a comparatively | easy matter for a person who knows how to swim to save himself, “it is very difficult even for others to save him,” if he cannot swim, the Senator said. “But quite apart from the question of safety, swimming is a most desirable accomplishment, because it is one of the most healthful forms of exercise, | bringing into play all the muscles of | the body, as well as developing the | lungs,” he said i Pleasurable Sport. “Purthermore, it ix a real source of pleasure. Diving into the water and | gliding through it are forms of motion most exhilerating and satisfying. The THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 19371. CAN YOU SWIiM? No?

TAFF Kenilworth Citizens Also Ask Public Defender and Boys’ Club Support. Urging a thorough investigation of traffic conditions in the District of Co- lumbia, the Kenilworth Citizens' As- sociation adopted a resolution indors- ing the movement of a joint commit- tee for such a study at its meeting last night in the Kenilworth Schoal. Indorsements also were given the Scott bill to provide a public defender for the District, the Police Boys' Clubs & proposal and to raise funds to sup- port the club recently opened in Kenil- worth. Action on the traffic resolution came after Harry 8. Wender, chairman of the Safety Committee of the Federa- tion of Citizens’ Associations, as guest speaker, pointed out the lack of defi- nite knowledge of the traffic problem. Wender held that the traffic con- ditions in Washington are among the worst of any city and that scientific methods could eliminate many trafic hazards. Among other specific remedies, he suggested reduction of the number of taxicabs, compulsory examination of all cars at periodic intervals, raising the age limit for drivers’ permits to 18, and stricter financial responsibility |laws. The association had already Sweeten it with Domino favared fewer taxis and compulsory auto inspection. In speaking on the Scott bill, Wen- der strongly advocated creation of the position of public defender. He stated that many are arraigned without bene- fit of counsel.
