Norton NJ. Little. a member of the
board of trustees of the church. stated
today that there is no doubt that Mr.
Goodwin's resignation will be accepted
at next Monday nights meeting, but
that. several months or year may elapse
before the church formally calls another
pastor. Mr.. Little was emphatic in the
declaration that no pressure of any kind
was brought to bear to force the resig-
nation Of the pastor, and that the act
was purely voluntary, the entire congre-
cation retaining feelings of the liveliest
friendship for the man who has been
it's spiritual leader for the past three
years.
Although the question is one that will
be decided by the church itself, all the
Congregational churches in the District OF
Columbia and Baltimore have been in
vited to participate in next Monday
nights meeting, and the opinion is freely
expressed that the discussion will be-
come warm. Supporters of the pastor
say they do not purpose to allow him te
sever his pastoral connection with the
of pastors would be beneficial are equally
firm in their expressed intention to vote
for the acceptance Of Mr.. Goodwin's res
ignation. The pastor himself, however
declined absolutely to discuss the matter
further. deploring the publicity that ha.
already been given 1t, while few member.

PLAN OF BRIsToW ADAMS
DAVID FAIRCH1LD ALSO SPEAKS

A District-wide contest for the hand
soonest and best kept gardens and lawns
among owners belonging to the various
citizens associations. to be held next
year under the auspices of the PEOPLES
Gardens of Washington, was suggested
last night by Bristow Adams of the for
estry service and president of the Rhode
Island Suburban Citizens Association, at
meeting held at Iowa Avenue NJ. E.
Church, which was originally called for
the purpose of bestowing the awards for
the best kept gardens and lawns belong
fng to members of the Piney Branch
Citizens Association.
Mr.. Adams and David Fairchild, the
latter the president Of the Peoples Gar
dens of Washington, had been invited by
the Piney Branch Association to make
addresses. Mr.. Adams told of the ef-
forts of his citizens association to beau
tify the Rhode Island avenue section,
and Mr.. Fairchild offered critical, help
full comments on the gardens and lawns
of the Piney Branch Association. The
gardens and lawns of both sections had

benefit Of the large audience.
Association Is Praised.
Mr. Fairchild's constructive criticism.
taking each picture in turn as 1t was
thrown on the screen, was taken up by
Mr.. Adams. when he spoke later on. Mr..
Fairchild paid the Piney Branch Associa-
ton a high compliment. declaring that OF
all the twenty-five associations he had
visited earlier in the year, before the gar
dening season began, for the purpose OF
urging the communities to beautify their
lawns and back and front yards, the
Piney Branch Association was the only
one that had called him back at the end
Of the year for the purpose of showing
what had been accomplished. He said.
in part:
Looking over the years work. l must
say that the Piney Branch Association
seems to me to be the only one that has
gone ahead and seriously considered the
question of permanently improving front
and back yards with flowers and shrubs.
Certainly it is the only association visited
by me earlier in the year that has called
me back to see what has been done.
II am delighted to see the progress that
has been made by the Piney Branch As
sOciation, and 1 am glad some OF you
have found out that a beautiful circular
bed of cannaS may be ma&nincent
thing, but that it does not fit in small
home garden layout. The best general
statement / have ever heard as to the
certain simple principles necessary In
making gardens Is one my friend, Miss
Scidmore, brought from Japan.

Should Not Be Drowned.

'The gardens there, everywhere, are in
some respects the best style for city
homes such as We wish to beautify. She
said the Japanese do not drown this
shrub or that bush or the other flower
bed by placing them in the lake Of the
lawn beside or in front of house. The
best way for the gardener to proceed IS
| to regard the lawn beside or in front OF
the house as lake. and not to put any
thing in it which will be in danger of be-
ing drowned Very few lawns around
homes are large enough to contain the
isolated islands made by fugitive shrubs,
bushes or flower beds.
Il should advise you, from my expert
ence, to group around this fanciful lake.
Create a 'promontory.' or cape, or
peninsula around the borders of the
lake with shrubs, bushes or flower Deos,
but do not put these in the lake to
drown. Scattered shrubs and trees over
a lawn never produce restful erect.
| When Mr.. Fairchild finished pointing
out the various features of the P1ney
Branch gardens and lawns, shown on the
screen, which. he said, were particularly
plea sing to the Garden Association, Bris-
tow Adams took up his thread of argu-
ment with set of pictures showing what
has been accomplished in the Rhode
Island avenue section. and urged Dis
trict-wide contest next year, under the
auspices of the Garden Association, which
he said should be an interassociation
contest Mr.. Adams told of his four
years experience with garden work, in
an exposition of what neighborly CO.
operation would do.
