that if someone other than a Dorsey would lead the band it would
be Castle.

been more than just a member of
the Dorsey Band for many years.
He had been considered the
"Third son" of the Dorsey family.

The White House Child Welfare Conferences first held in 1909
under Theodore Roosevelt have
been beneficial in initiating moves
to improve the living conditions
of children.
The early conferences resulted
in child labor regulation and the
promotion of maternal and infancy service.
The last and largest—5,000 attended—was held in 1950 and was
called t h e Mid-Century White
House Conference on Children
and Youth.
This conference was preceded
b y extensive preparation ai
regional and local levels such
as Dr. Loughridge's committee
is beginning.
Some of the 67 recommendations made by the Mid-Century
Conference were:
Steps should  be  taken   at  na-;
tional.  stale  and   local   levels  to
improve facilities and increase the !
output of professional schools pre- ,
paring persons for services to children.
Federal aid should be continued '
for educational  services  in  tax-.
supported public schools, without '■
federal  control,  to help  equalize
educational opportunity.
Nursery schools should be made
a part of public education.
Child labor 1 a w s should be
more rigidly enforced.
There should be broad participation of all groups without re- <
slrictions to  r a c e, creed, color,
sex, or economic level. \

sed bill which would ban over-
The bill was tabled at the las'.
;n of ihe matter could be crr.-
The commissioners said at the
last meeting that they had no idea
how many cars would be affected
by the legislation if it is passed.
There is no practical way io
decide   how   many   off-campus
students  will be  involved  because some of them live within
ihe areas where ihe red parking
sticker is used.
The groups that probably will
be hardest hit if the bill is made
into a law will be Central's fraternities as most of them have
several cars parked in front of
the houses due to the lack of adequate parking area. It will also be
difficult ii°r them to turn theii
vards into parking areas which
would accommodate all their cars.
Many of the students who were
issued 'commuter\?tickers will also
be searching for f'n overnight
parking area as their landlords do
not have parking faein'ties.
The commissioners w'iU probably discuss ihe praciicialitY oi
using other  methods of '.street
control such as parking on  lne
East-West streets on odd number days of the month and using
North-South streets   for  even
numbered days.
Parking on the odd house number side of the streets during the
odd   number   days   and   on   the
even number side during the even
number   days   will   also   be   discussed.
The idea behind the legislation
is to aid in snow removal service
during the winter months and
street sweeping during the summer.
At the last meeting the question
was brought up as to how often
the city uses the snow plows and
street sweepers.
The commissioners said they
weren't certain but the equipment wasn't used too often. The
Mt. Pleasant citizen said he didn't
think the equipment was used
often enough to demand a change
in the parking regulations.
