By TIM TIPPETT Organized because “we don’t have the hn out here that we should,” the newly formed North Irvington Civic League will hold the second meeting of its brief history at 987 N. Arlington Ave, tonight. Fourteen years ago the area east of Hawthorne Lane and north of Pleasant Run Blvd. was woodland and. fields. | Today many streets, some of them still unpaved, are lined with two-story, comfortablelooking homes. An infant community alongside its Emerson| district neighbor to the west, the North Irvington settlement has grown into a populous neighborhood with only a vacant lot here and there. The civic league was formed by a group of some 20-odd persons with several ‘objectives in mind. W. E. Hart, 819 N. Audubon Road, who was elected president at the initial meeting of the group Jan. 24, explained that “one man going down to City. Hall can’t get anywhere, so now we fire organizing and building up our membership as fast as possible.” While the area to be directly served by (the organization. takes in the territory north of East Washington St. and between Emerson Ave. to the City limits, the membership “will not be in any way restricted to these boundaries,” Mr. Hart said. | “Any Irvington problem is our problem,” he added. Most of the objectives of the leagu2 members have to do with the safety of their children. They are: 1. The building of sidewalks and the widening of E. 10th St. from Arlington Ave, west to Emerson Ave. At Present there is no walk and the
It’s the Scar That Scares
LOS ANGELES, Fet Feb. 2 (U. P.). —Actress Ann Sothern’s request for a beautiful appendectomy scar wasn’t so special after all, Dr, W. H. Brownfield, a leading abdominal surgeon, said today. “You'd be surprised how many women worry more about whether they’ll get a nasty scar than then do about the success of the surgery,” he told the American College of Surgeons meeting here. Miss Sothern recently demanded a crescent-shaped scar but the type of her scar has remained a secret. The feminine search for beauty, ‘even in the matter of scars, has led surgeons to strive for what Dr. Brownfield called ‘the cosmetic result.” | “Scanty bathing suits and skimpy evening gowns have natur-. ally created anxiety in the minds of girls who must have operations,” he said. The anxiety is unnecessary for the surgeon with the cosmetic touch leaves only a minor scar.

Parents believe that School 77 (a onestory wooden building) has not enough room for its pupils and that it should include the junior high school grades as well. . 3. Complete rebuilding of the narrow bride crossing Pleasant Run on Arlington Ave. 4. Adequate street lighting. The present lighting system does not consist of the regulation standards but lights are on high posts and do not, according to residents, give sufficient lighting. Probably the most serious complaint of the group concerns the Pleasant Run bridge. The structure, which is wide enough to let two cars across at once with only several inches to spare, is located only several hundred feet from the portable school. Many of the pupils cross it daily and while there is a sidewalk on the bridge, a two-car collision might prove disastrous to anyone on the walk, parents believe. 3 Other officers of the group who are to attend tonight's meeting are Dr. Francis C. Smith, 983 N. Arlington Ave. vice president, and C. M. Davis, 757 N. Bolton Ave., secretary and treasurer. Charter members are the officers and Fred E. Shick, O. A. Harle, C L.

burglary of the Mueller store. “All right boys, let me have it,” an armed bandit ordered the manager and clerk of a grocery at 342 Prospect St. last night. He threatened to shoot them if they followed him and escaped with $40. Ralph S. Sherman, 247 N, Beville Ave, ‘the manager, and Arthur Brainbridge, 602 E.

~ LONDON, Feb. 2 (U. P.).—Air raid alarms which sounded at various points in Yorkshire today were part of official tests, officials said.
