- GOD news for municipal golfers
came today from the East
" Potomac Park headquarters OF
the Park Amusement Co.,
operators Of all the municipal golf
courses at present In use in Washington.
Both the East Potomac Park and Rock
Creek Park courses are to be kept open
all Winter long, with the management
abandoning for this Winter the usual
custom Of closing both courses for the
month beginning February /.
Both East Potomac PARK and Rock
Greek Park may be closed for two weeks
beginning March for repairs to the
fairways and putting green's, but that
is not yet decided. Both courses will
remain open through the major part of
the Winter, weather permitting, which
will enable the public parks golf en-
thusiaSts to. enjoy their game without
the usual lapse of golf facilities.
Public links golf has very large
share of the golf played around WASH
ington. 1t is surprising how much golf
is played on the public layouts, and
usually, on good days, there is con-
slant procession of players going over
all the courses from dawn to dark.
Heretofore their golf has been inter-
rupted for q month and half during
the Winter season. For Winter and
cold weather do not stop your dyed-in-
the-Wool golfer. He plays any day, cold
OF warm, in wind or calm, stopping his
golf only when fairwayS and green's are
blanketed with snow. And even then
the more hardy of his ik venture out
with red balls, and come back saying
how invigorating the weather Is, and
how healthy they feel after q brisk
walk over snow covered tairwayS in q
low temperature.
DUT the indoor golfers are getting
- their share of play, too. Three in
door schools now are operating in
Washington and there may be more
before Winter comes to an end. Two
of them, operated by Frank Hartig, pro
at the Army-Navy Club, and r: Gin
McKimnnie, former assistant to Hartig,
now are located on New York avenue, in
the block between Thirteenth and Four
tenth streets Still another is located
on Fourteenth street near ], while
Leoff1er, the big pitch-and-put man Of
the Park Amusement Co., has opened
q pitch-and-putt course at Eighteenth
street and Columbia road, which is TAX
ing the place Of the outdoor "peewee"
courses.
Yesterday q couple Of youngsters from
Western and Central High Schools
played on the final Of q medal-play
tourney staged at the L'Aiglon indoor
course, and Johnny Holzberg, one Of the
best Of Columbia's junior golfers, was
returned the victor over John Kemon of
Central. They tied for the main prize
at 81 each, and In q 36-hole play-oh
Holzberg registered 80 to ~ for the Cen

n EARN to forgive. That is the cardinal rule in the conduct
OF life and love, if happiness is to be our portion. None Of
US are perfect And very wisely so. How dull life would
be were there no little misunderstanding and no glorious recon
ciliations.
Learn TO forgive is the first line in loves ntany. Learn TO be
tolerant of others and intolerant of ourselves. Learn that little
Misunderstanding may be the result of our own actions quite as
much as somebody else's. Learn TO check a hasty word that may
speed as a dagger to the heart of the one we love best in the
world. Learn TO await an explanation Of even the most unusual
happening before you pass judgement.
Love is as a delicate flower. 1t thrives in happiness and the
soil Of mutual understanding a s a bud blossoms to beauty in the
caressing warmth of the golden sun.
To rise above the petty things Of life is to rise to a new
stature. To forgive and forget is to attain something Of q god
like glory. And il is within the reach Of all Of u, this glory that
can ilumine our lives as the sunlight floods the world with gleam-
ing gold. Learn to forgive and by doing so you will learn to walk
that winding path that leads to the land of happiness.
