[- ‘| By TIM TIPPETT | Hot summer days, picnics, vacations and the pursuit of hobbies will | end a great deal of the activity of Indianapolis Civic Clubs until fall. Those organizations which serve territories with no immediate problems will remain dormant subject only tothe call of the president in| case of some neighborhood emer- | gency. |

| Civic [Association will meet Wednesday to push its fight for safer streets and improved civic conditions,

The immediate problem before |the group, the changing of the name lof Bellefontaine St. in that area tc | Guilford Ave., will be discussed and {action planned. Members point out [that Bellefontaine St. actually is ar t extension of Guilford Ave. from 59th St. north. The utility compahies accept it as | Guilford and so does the Postoffice, The Speedway Civic League, lo- according to the residents.

This; bridge, according to Ed Huntey, association officer, was condemned) nine years ago and opened again] after a “temporary patching up” had been completed: The approaches to the bridge are composed of several right angles! and ‘heavy truck traffic makes the | bridge doubly dangerous. The association proposal for a {new bridge at. this spot involves |

and the t.-Emerson Ave. bus lines. Opponents of the plan believe it increase the danger of street : on pedestrians by thugs and additional traffic; hazards because some persons have to walk farther to the bus. Several witnesses at a former P S./C. hearing also stated that the change would ‘cause loss to] property valuation.

High School Education Is Unnecessary, Prospective Naval Recruits Are Told

The Navy Recruiting Station here, faced with the task of helping to fill 25,000 vacancies in the Navy under President Roosevelt's defense plans, has two big difficulties. According to Lieut. Comm. J. C. Shively, commanding the station, they are; 1. Thdt many eligible youths do not know that the vacancies exist. 2. That many other eligible youths believe that a high school education is necessary for enlistment in the Navy. “© Comm. Shively said that a high school education is “desirable but not necessary” ‘and. that qualified young men, unmarried and between 18 and 35 years of age, ld be enlisted usually within tW& weeks of application. Indiana’s share in the first month of the new enlistment drive is 60 recruits, Comm. Shively said. This quota is divided between the station here and the substations at Richmond, Columbus, Ft. Wayne, Terre Haute, Evansville, Anderson and Lafayette. . The quota is the largest that has

teen assigned to Indiana since last October. Comm. Shively said that only 30,145 men have enlisted in the Navy during: the past fiscal year, which began July 1, 1939. Of this number, he said 372 were enlisted from Indiana. The land-bound Middle West has the largest quota of any section of the country in the new. drive for 5000 ‘quality recruits a month,” the recruiting officer here said. The Chicago area has been assigned 1200 ‘men besides the 60 in Indiana. The quotas assigned to other cities in the Chicago area were noted by Comm. Shively in saying that the figure assigned to Indiana was not too high. He said that Louisville's quota is 120, the sam eas Detroit's; Kansas City's is 130, Cincinnati's 98, and Omaha's 90. The first 15 of the June. recruifs will be sent to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station next Tuesday, Comm. Shively said. Another 15 will be enlisted oir June 11, and 20 more on June 18 and the final 10 on June 25, he said.
