SIXTEEN THE MORNING HERALIX HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1930 LIKELY IN JOYEARS Junior High in Western Section, However, is a Possibility The West End is not likely to get a senior high school within the next aten years in, spite of the fact that 400 people have signed a petition asking for one as soon as possible, it became known yesterday at the School Board office. A junior high school for that section of the city, however, is a possibility that may be realized in the near future, it was learned. And a junior high school, it was thought, would solve most of the school problems facing the citizens beyond the railroads. The petitioners claim that the 3.6 i miles that some of their children now have to traverse in going to high school places a forbidding financial burden on them. But a junior high school in the West End would take care of all the people who go to first year high- Although Hagerstown High School is now taxed to capacity with students, the crowded condition will he more than relieved next fall when the junior high schools will have taken all the freshmen.

There will be then about five hundred less students in the building than there are now, and it should take at least ten years for the annual gain in enrollment to make necessary a new school. The two new junior high schools, however, will be filled to their limits the first year with seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students; and a third junior high will be needed. School officials announce that, when this bbuilding comes, it will most likely be in the West End. Only a stipulation made by the Legislature is responsible for the placing of one of the now-contemplated junior highs north of the Western Maryland Railroad. The petition rs being circulated by S.

E. Everhart, while Edward Moser began the circulation of a second one in another section of the West End last night. The petition states that because of the "inconvenience and difficulty in getting our children to the High School at its present location, due to railroad and unnecessary distance" that another High School should he given the West End. Studied Situation. Mr.

Everhart contends that it has started the petition only after a careful study of the situation. He two daughters, he said, one of whom he sent to High School until she graduated, the other to a paid school here. The one whom he sent to High School cost him more for bus fares and lunches than the one who attended the private School, despite the fact that he had to pay tuition lor the daughter who attended private school. This daughter was able to walk to and from school and to come home for lunch and now commands a higher salary than the High School graduate. Two buses on which West End High School students were passengers were held by trains, causing them to be late at school.

According to Everhart, the children were punished or lost credits for their tardiness. Waits in the Public Square for buses during rainy weather, without any shelter there, also is objected to by parents of children attending High School. In many instances, Everhart said, he had found that many parents iu the West End, who desired to send their children to High School were forced to abandon the plan because of the expense of bus fare and for lunches. From one point in the West End, it is. 3.G miles to the High School, he said.

It was she who in 1911 proclaimed that within a decade "prohibition shall be placed in the Constitution of the United States." In a talk by Mrs. Inez Flook on "Holding the she told the significance of the service rendered by the Women's Christian Temperance Union in their program ot" in- sriration and education resulting in the dethronement of the most powerful tyrant on earth--the liquor traffic. She urged the winning of our family and friends, press, pulpit, educators and children to help "Hold the Line --Our Home Line." Mr. J.

A. Miller, an honorary member, addressed the meeting on "Economics of Prohibition." He said: 'Few people realize the awful loss to the nation because of the rum traffic during the past 150 years. No period in the history of the United Slates has prosperity increased in the same ratio as during the ten years, and with the prohibition law completely enforced conditions would be better still. In 1918, the Comptroller of Currency reported private, postal, State, mutual, stock and national bank savings totaled $9,372,246,3.04. On June 30, 19-28, the volume of savings stood at $28,412,961,000." He gave figures supporting the value oi! a saloonless nation in regard to home building, public health, automobile industry and life insurance-data which is another index of the economic value of prohibition--these having jumped during the past year from $35,000,000,000 to more than- 000.

Mrs. Mason on Monday afternoon is alleged to have fired at her husband while the two were sitting in their car in an alley in the rear of South Potomac street.

A program sponsored by the Society for the Prevention of Crime and the Promotion of Social Conditions was given at the Rotary Club's regular luncheon at Hotel Alexander yesterday.

R. Paul Smith was in charge, and Omer T. Kaylor was the speaker. Mr. Kaylor prefaced his interesting remarks by defending the society from accusations that have been made by Washington County citi- zens that it is a political organi-i zation, a religious society, or snooping group for prohibition forcemcnt, none of which, said the! speaker, represents its purpose.

Only a conference between Governor Albert C. Ritchie and Stuart S. Janney, Director of the Department of Welfare, remains 'before the site is picked and plans for the prison started, it was said.

The Governor said yesterday that it is his intention to arrange for a conference with Mr. Janney within tue next few days to dispose of the problem offered by the selection of a site. Surveyed State Ever since April 1. last year, v-hen the Legislature adjourned after appropriating funds for a new 'institution and leaving the way open tor the Board of Welfare to determine between a new central prison and a series of smaller penitentiaries scattered aiiout the State, the selection of a site has been hanging lire. With the State officials agreed on.

building one new prison, the Board of Welfare began a survey of the State for suitable properties. It was determined, because of a new Federal law which will soon prohibit the interstate shipment of prison-made merchandise, that, a quarry furnishing limestone--all of which could be consumed i i Maryland--was the logical nucleus of the new prison. Several sites in Washington County were inspected and favorably reported on, but opposition on the part of local people will probably be successful in preventing selection ot a site here.

Green today commuted the sentences of five Michigan violators of the prohibition law now serving life terms under the provisions of the State's former Criminal Code.
