Second-Your eyes must be blue

can look a trifle wistful. also in

CITIZENS URGED
TO Join GROUPS
Organizations Necessary to
Get Results, H. N. StuII
Says on Air.

The citizen association movement IS
tightly bound with the future growth
and betterment of living conditions in
the Capital, and for that reason all
public-Spirited citizens of the Capital
should be members of their neighbor-
hood organization, Harry N. Stull, vice
chairman Of the committee on educa-
ton OF the Federation of Citizens AS
Soc1ationS, told a radio audience over
station WMAL at $50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
Speaking on 'Why You Should Join
a Citizens Association" Stull declared
the association action to be the most
directive and dignif1ed way in which
to bring to the attention of the proper
of1c1als any recommendation for the
betterment of living conditions. He
said, in part:
Need of Improvements.
mo one will deny that Washington
Is a very beautiful city, but there are
many things here that need improving,
and IN some sections of the city YOU
will find outstanding citizens who will
tell you that conditions in their neigh
borhoods are little short of intolerable.
Our miles of unimproved and dimly
lighted streets, inadequate car and bus
service, our unfinished school program,
the failure of proper law enforcement
and other matters of equal Importance
rather negative the impression that We
are living in modern Utopia. These
associations strive to improve condi-
tons that need improving.
This movement into citizen groups
Is not new in Washington, but since
we are denied any right to express our
opinions through the ballot box and are
helpless otherwise to indicate our de-
sire as to how the tax money we pay
is to be SPENT it is incumbent upon us
to work in the most effective way pos
sible to bring about the things we de-
sire. A permanent organization of cit
liens is an absolute necessity when the
time arrives for action.
I'VE ask you to investigate this
movement. Get from the officers of
your local body list of improvements
which 1t has succeeded in obtaining.
Then consider whether you can further
permit yourself to be served by an or
ganization of this Importance without
lending your personal assistance and
counsel in furthering other matters of
equal Importance"

moreover, Mr.. Hoover is much more
anxious to expedite the erection of the

TENDS are so urgently needed.
Wnne discussing this subject the
President said:
1T is our intention to repair the

as 1ully fireproof as possible. This can

Two or three years for the DEVELOPMENT
OF thought and design. The present
ofnces will serve all purposes for the
next few years, and I am much more
anxious to expedite the erection of the
departmental buildings, which are so
urgently needed. The time will undoubt-
edly come when larger and more dig

The Charles H. Tompkins Co. of
Washington today was awarded the
contract for repairing the White House
executive offices, damaged in the
Christmas eve fire. This announce
ment was made by Lieut.. Col. U. S.
Grant, Sd, director of public buildings
and public parks, who is directly re-
sponsible to President Hoover for the
maintenance of the White House. The
Tompkins Co. will do the work for
STA $50 and complete it within 80 days
under the terms of the contract, which
provides for flreproofing above the first
floor ceiling.
The local firm was the lowest bidder
OF six contractors, including Chicago
and New York companies, that sought
the work. 1t is expected that the con-
tractor will move men and material
to the White House Offices to get started
actively on Monday.
