result OF the action OF tho Senate
In reducing the appropriation for
their operation and maintenance from
$4,000 to $4,000. it was stated today
by Miss Cecil Norton. general COM
munity secretary.
It is probable that several Of the
centers may be forced to close en-
tirely. but Miss Norton hopes to avoid
this by shortening the schedules of
the work now undertaken
AS stipulated by the amendment TO
the District appropriation bill, as
ADOPTED by the Senate yesterday, the
activities OF the community centers
must be purely educational in
character and dancing and other so
cial activities will be abandoned.

Before arranging a definite sched-
ule OF the future activities Of the

correct Interpretation of educational
work within the scope Of the COM
munlty center department Miss Nor
ton. personally considers dancing aS
type OF higher education" and
feels that all social work in the CEN
ters is very important" Dancing,
however. is one of the activities criti-
cised by opponents Of the community
center appropriation Therefore, Miss
Norton is of the Union that the cen-
ters will have to be closed to such
amusement
In order to keep within tho $1S,0 90
appropriation allotted the community
center department, Miss Norton pro-
poses to only open the centers q few
nights each week Four Of tho oen-
ters now open every night except sun
day. she said, probably win only be
in operation three or four nights.

more than 100000 was due from
foreign governments. Dimcuities In

failure to have proper supporting
documents to substanttate claims. The
first balance sheet of the board. Col.
Abadie declared, was made early IN

were most polite in expressing their
at the Harding home, but he left it
i,xt as irreconcilable as ever.
Having had five Of the irreconcilable
group in conference. it may be that
senator Harding has thought the ir-
reconcilable view has been adequately
presented. -
The President elect goes south on
Thursday night, and his friends and
neiThbors have been giving him a

rather dependent on real companion

called the white House blues comes
over him when he coltemplates the
thought that the carefully arranged
life Of a chief executive may make it
;mnossible for him always to meet
the old friends on the old plane.
Although he has not lived much in
Marion during the past six years, Sen
ator Harding has a real affection for
the old place. This is reflected in his
determination to come all the way
back here from Florida SO he can pro-
ceed direct from his home town to
