BUS COMPANIES
FAIL TO AGREE

The public hearings before the
Public Utilities Commission on
establishing a bus terminal here
terminated with nothing gained
other than a suggestion from Chair
man John W. Childress that the bus
companies interested get together
and try to settle on a location.
Seven sites already nave been
suggested as logical terminal points
and are as follows: 1899 H st. NV;
the location bounded by H and /

the northwest corner of Twelfth st.
and New York Ave. N. W.; Penn

Tenth SITS. N. W., on the the south
side; the northeast corner of Tenth
and G SITS. N W., and the north
side OF e ST.. between Eighth and
Ninth SITS. N. w.
All of the bus companies repre-
sentej at the hearing are favorably
inclined to some central location
One concern suggested that the
companies lease space for o term

Our Model Plane Pilots

The names Of IL local boys, who won
honors in the recent model aircraft
tournament under the auspices Of the
District Of Columbia Model Aircraft
League, have been sent to the national
committee, functioning under the direc-
of the Playground and Recreation .Asso-
citation of America, for consideration for
competition In the third national minia-
cure aircraft tournament at Louisville,
KY, October 10 and 10.
The national committee will consider
the model aircraft records of the WASH
ington boys along with records made by
model aircraft pilots" from throughout
the country, and from the list select the
boys with the best records to compete
In the Louisville tournament.
It will not be known until the COM

compete at Louisville. rs the boys are
to be chosen entirely through rec

Of the local Model Aircraft League
committee, however. that at least sew
eral of the Washington boys have SUI
ficient records to gain them the right to

With the likelihood that a number

Credit Union At

Discussion of a credit union is

meeting of the John Hanson post
Of the American Legion Thursday
evening. Under projected plans, eX-
service men would be offered SIS
shares in the union which would
operate somewhat as a savings ac-
count. This is being done in order
to build up credit ratings and to
encourage thrift, Legion officials
say.
Another important item to come
before the meeting will be that of
financing the trip of the bugle and
drum corps to the Louisville ma
tional convention. New uniforms
and transportation funds will have
to be provided for. The local corps
won first honors in Texas last year
at the national convention held in
San Antonio.
