Works On Safety, Grocery Stores Four West Side grocery stores were inspected by neighborhood residents and representatives of the Denver Department of Health and Hospitals April 16, to see if conditions in the stores have changed in recent months. Stores visited were American Way at 1115 West llth Ave., K & M Market, 1044 West Colfax Ave., DeHart's Grocery at the intersection of West Seventh Ave. and Santa Fe Drive; and Lincoln Park Grocery at 1244 Mariposa St. The visitors found conditions "greatly improved" as compared with the way they were several months ago. All stores were being painted and fixed up in April. Those who made the inspection tour were Dr. Howard Larson and George Barela of the Department of Health and Hospitals, and four members of the West Side Improvement Association- Mrs. Frank Dabrowski, Mrs. Forrest Swanson, Mrs. Clifford Partney and Manual Garcia. So far nine West Side grocery stores have been inspected by representatives of the Improvement Association in the last six months. Residents of District 3 of the West Side Improvement Association, which is from Speer Boulevard to Santa Fe Drive between West Eighth and Twelfth Avenues, are working on traffic safety measures in their neighborhood. They met at Inner City Parish with John Burg of the city traffic department and drew up the following proposals: • Remove parking on west side of Galapago Street between West Ninth and 12th Avenues. • Trim bushes, trees, etc., at intersection of West llth Avenue and Galapago Street and put in more and larger stop signs. • Study the possibility of placing speed limit signs on West llth Avenue from Speer Boulevard to Osage Street. • Put a traffic signal light at the corner of West llth Avenue and Galapago Street. Thirty-three persons in one block alone in the immediate area signed the petition to get action on these proposals. Since the meeting, Richard Thomas, chief traffic engineer for the city, has informed Mrs. Wilma Dabrowski, District 3 director, that the requested traffic light can not be put in AMONG THE SPEAKERS ^rom the West Side and from lispano groups were John Ventura, Mrs. Wilma Dabrowski, State Senator Roger Cisneros, Bernard Valdez of the Welfare Department, Fred Arguello of the State Department of Education, and Carlos Santisteven of the Crusade for Justice. All spoke in support of demands made by parents and other concerned citizens relative to improvement of education for West Side children. Superintendent Gilberts and his staff reported that $8,000 worth of material on Hispano culture has been purchased for the West High Library. The number of books and other items this included was not known. IT WAS ANNOUNCED that there will be a summer school at West High School "if possible," and that if it cannot be aranged the city school administration will try to provide free transportation from the West Side to summer school somewhere else -— probably North High School. It also was announced that there has been a start at bilingual education, in Spanish as well as in English, on the kindergarten and first grade levels in some Denver schools. SUPERINTENDE NT GILBERTS said that to date 20 Hispano teachers have been added to the city teacher list for next year. He said they will be placed in schools where there is an opening for their special teaching talents. He made it clear that he will not transfer any West Side teacher to another school unless the teacher asks for a transfer. None of the new Hispano teachers will be placed on the West Side unless an opening develops. It seemed that the superintendent of schools did not appreciate some of the questions asked by Mr. Chavez and did not want to answer them. However, the West Side audience was courteous and attentive, and there were few outbreaks in the long meeting. JAMES D. VOORHEES, JR., chairman of the board, thanked the many who attended on the cold, rainy night for their cooperation and willingness to work on the problems of the schools. He said he hoped the board could have more community meetings with West Siders in the future. Other board members present were A. Edgar Benton, William G. Berge, Mrs. Rachel B. Noel and Dr. John H. Amesse. immediately but that it will be considered for next year. Mrs. Dabrowski, who also is president of the Improvement Association, called the district meeting because of the number of accidents in the area of Galapago Street and West llth Ave- nues
