is inserted in the meters at 8 p. m. it will greatly increase night performance patronage. Fred Smith, RKO Kenmore manager reports considerable inconvenience to the management and apprehension on the part of the patrons, who must lcr their seats to insert another dime at 9 p. m.

This same complaint has been registered by other local theatres, bowling alleys, dance halls, dancing schools and restaurants. The Flatbush Chamber of Commerce will be asked to intercede to correct this situation. An appeal will be forwarded to T. Wiley, Commisioner of Traffic.

The FLATBUSH TIMES re-, spectfully suggests that the va- 2 cant lots, minus the Newkirk1, houses would seem to provide ample footage for a good elementary school. There should be no need to add to the critical housing shortage by demanding that homeowners abandon their precious homes, is the consensus of opinion of Col. Arthur Levitt, president of the Board of Education agrees that if the new' plan will eliminate the need to abolish homes, he will endorse the-proposal. The new plan is being 1 studied by technical experts of the Board of Education.
