Rock Greek originates in Mont
gomery County, several miles north OF
Kensington, Md, community at the
end of Connecticut avenue, through
which the metropolitan branch of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad runs. It
winds course west Of Connecticut ave-

of Chevy Chase Lake, where Connecti-

the creek to continue its course east

of Chevy Chase Lake, it comes into
the District Line west and little south
of Silver Spring, Md. Considerable at

to the question of pollution of the
waters of the creek, and the District

erty holders along the upper part of
Rock Greek. The roadwayS could be
installed, Warner says. at a cost OF
about $4,000, including culverts.
Seven Reasons Advanced.
Seven reasons were advanced yester-
day by Mr.. Warner for acquiring the
property and beginning the process of
extending Rock Creek Park beyond the
District Line. These reasons he gave
as follows:
Willingness on the part of the prop
erty owners to dedicate, provided inn
mediate improvement by road construc-
ton will be undertaken.
Fear lest some of the available
ground within the area will be so i'm
proved. as to forever preclude the proper
development of the park plan, by rea-
son of excessive cost.
The study of the Rock Creek area
desired for park purposes has Just been
completed by the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commission

PARK EXTENSION
RECEIVES BOOST
Senator Tyding's Proposal
Advances Plans for Larger
Rock Creek Area.

The ng-discussed proposal to ex-
tend Rock Greek Park into Montgom-
cry County, Md, has been given ADDED
impetus by the announcement that
owners of property totaling nearly 700
acres along the border of the park,
where roadway is proposed. are ready
to dedicate the land to the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion and the State Of Maryland.
The offer, however, Is contingent on
the construction of the roadways par
alleling the winding creek. Last Mon
day Senator Tydings of Maryland pro-
posed an amendment to the bill to APP
propriate 100000 for the purpose OF
ACQUIRING the land and constructing
roads to extend the park from its pres
ent terminus at the District line to
Garrett Park, Md, a distance OF be-
tween 5 and miles along the mean
dering course of Rock Creek.
Would Add 675 Acres.
Rock Creek Park, as it Is constituted
today. exclusive of the National Zoo
logical Park, embraces ,625 acres, rum
ming from the borders of the Zoo to
the District line. It was begun under
the administration of President Roose-
welt and stands today as one OF the
finest examples of urban park preser-
walton in the United States. The pro-
posed extension would bring its acreage
to above 1900 acres and make it one
of the largest public parks in the world.
When the property now embraced in
Rock Greek Park was purchased it cost
the Government $l,250,000, according
to Brainard H. Warner, jr., one of the
property holders along the upper reach
es of Rock Greek Park. The property
to be dedicated in the proposed extern
sion area is valued at about $l,000.000,
according to Warner, and will go toward
park extension free Of charge. Most
of the land, however, is bottom land,
sometimes flooded during high water,
and not at present developed to any
considerable degree.
Ten miles of additional roadways
would be added to the present Is miles
of macadam-Surfaced roadway at pres
ent in the park, under the plan pro-
posed by Senator Tydings and the prop

Defense All in Yesterd5y.- Arguments and Judges
 Charge This Morning
Defendent Takes Stand. Lied About
 Time From Fear

The defense in the case cf Thomas Mazzola of Willimantic. who has been on trial for his life since a week ago to day, began putting in it's evidence. Wednesday morning, and had conclud ed it's testimony before court adjourn ed for the day. This morning the arguments of counsel are being heard. Judge Yeoman's charge to the jury will follow. The jury will then retire and Mazzola may know his fate before night.
 The defense was a complete denial. The evidence of the state that Mag zola made untrue statements as to the time he went to work on the morning of the murder was met by the defense in an admission that Mag ia lied because he had learned suspicion was Dn!atins toward hiss and he was frightened.
 Crime January 3rd
 Mazzola is accused of the murder of his mother-in-law. Mrs. Rosaria Lorella on the morning of January 3rd by strangulation. The state has sought % show q motive in that Max zc Ia was indebted Co his mother-in- law apd that ,here were other finan- eial reasons for the lomici e. Most of this testimony was excluded, which was 8 decided victory for the defense. The state made | great deal of the fact that Mazzola had stated and maintained that he appeared at work shortly after seven o'clock the morning the murder was discovered, when as a matter of fact it was much later The defense sprung a surprise bv putting Mazzola on the stand where he admitted that he had lied and gave fear as his reason for doing so. It was testified tO by a witness that Mazxola was seen emptying a basin of water A state expert wit ues testified that water in a basin had been examined and found to con- tain blc0d. The expert, however. also tsctihed that an examination of par ings from the accused's finger nails and a sleeve of h.s shirt had been eN- amined and no blood stains found. The trial was begun last week We'd ncsday. lt was late Thursday when the jury panel was filled.
 Jury Panel Filled
 With the acceptance of John w. Trowbridge of pomfret as the twelfth member of the jury the talk ing of testimony was begun late last Thursday afternoon. George Potvin, giving his business as a merchant. IS the only juror from Putnam. Charles Russell of Thompson makes the third man on the jury from this corner or the state.
 The accused stood without evinclng any signs of nervousness as Assist ant Clerk Miss Marjorie Bradford of of Putnam read the indictment charg- ing him with murder in the first de- gree The remainder of Thursdays session was taken up with the testi- mony of an engineer who submitted a map of the premises where the murder occurred and oi photograph CT who took photographs of the body of the murdered woman.

Christ Church Observes Passing of Century Mark With
 Special Service
History Is History of Devoted Men
 and Women

Christ Episcopal Church parish fomfret. is one hundred years old There was an observance of the One Hundredth Anniversary at the ser vice last Sunday morning.
 First Record
 At a meeting at the house cf Eb- enezer Thompson Esq. in Pomaret on Tuesday, May 27th, 1928, it was resolved to organize a parish, to be called, "The Episcopal Parish of Pom fret. So begins the records of the parish.
 In the spring of the year following there was a second meeting called, which met at the house of the same Mir. Thompson. and it was decided to begin the work of building a church.
 About the end of September. 1929 the church was completed the land for the site having been given by Mr Charles Hall of Harlem. On Christ mas day, 1929. the first service was held. when the holy communion was ce ebrated by the Rev. Mir. Kellogg. who resided in Brooklyn and served from this time on. both the parishes of Brooklyn and Pomfret.
 Unsettled State
 Upon the removal of Mir. Kellogg the parish was let without a sett ed pastor. The Rev. Mir. Bartlett suc- ceeded Mir. Kellogg. but remained only a short time, The next few years saw an unsettled state of things, for the only services held during that time were those taken by Rev Dr. Vinton, then student of the General Seminary, N Y. The church suffered greatly from the lack of a resident clergyman. and from such irregular services. To en- able the parish to survive it was found necessary to reunite with the parent parish of Brooklyn, and the then pastor. Rev Dr. Camp, vii ingly consented to ofiiciatc in both parish es. which he served with untiring de- votion until he resigned from the parish of Christ Church in lS42
 The parish once again essayed to stand on it's own feet and called the Rev. Richard Adams as rector. but finances did not warrant his stay. The prospects of the parish were most gloomy when the Rev. Roswell Park accepted the rectcrship, and, with great courage. built a rectory schoolroom and a church hall. MT. Park derived his support almost en- tirely from his school, and when he left the parish in 1851, to enter upon his new work in Racine college. he eft the parish free from debt and we'll estab ished school.
 Dr. Parks successor, Rev. MT. Mil Ter, endeavored to carry cn the work
