State Sociefies Launch Plans fo Aid Rural Youth Committee Is Named To Study Method of Approach to Problem A movement to aid rural youth throughout the Nation in solving their many problems was launched here yesterday at a meeting of presi- dents and other executive officers of approximately 20 State societies of this city. Meeting in the Harrington Hotel, the group voted to set up a central headquarters here, with a view to going ahead with such a program and to see just what aid can be given. The group expressed the hope that organizations in the va- rious States would become inter- ested in the idea and establish State headquarters in line with such a program, it was announced. Plan to Raise Funds. To raise funds for establishment of the headquarters here the group voted to sponsor a social function | to be held this month and a com- mittee was named. It is composed of David H. Deibler, executive vice president of the Pennsylvania So- ciety of Washington, chairman; J. P. Kelley, president of the New | Jersey Society; Miss Elizabeth R. Groves, executive secretary of the | Delaware Society; Mrs. Ann Schaef- | fer, member of the New Jersey So- ciety; Emmet McCaffery, secretary of the California Society, and Mrs. Mabel R. Peirce, member of they Executive Committee of the Ver- Washingfon Highlands - Unit Opposes Bill The Washington Highlands Cit- izens’ Association voted last night to inform Representative Randolph, chairman of the House District Committee, of its opposition to the podiatry bill. Following a discussion on the im- mediate need of a South Capitol street bridge, Miss Bessie B, Warren pointed out that in case of a large fire in or around St. Elizabeth’s Hos- pital during the morning or evening rush hours fire trucks “could hardly get to the scene due to the crowded conditions of the Eleventh street bridge S.E.” The association pre- viously has recommended a South Capitol street bridge. The group announced through its chairman of the Metropolitan Police Boys’ Club Committee, Miss Warren, that $22.31 had been collected by the committee throughout the neighbor- hood. Efforts to locate and correct the source of water running across the sidewalk at Nichols avenue and Xenia street S.E. was urged on the association by Miss Warren. The association decided to hold its initial meeting of the fall season the first Thursday in September instead of October, as has been customary. The meeting was held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. John G. Jurgeans. Mr. Jurgeans presided.
