A Merry Christmas

Which reminds u this is as
good a time aS any to wish all
hand; the seasons greetings,
and to say that The Times
sports department approaches
the Yuletide with q spirit Of
thankfulneSs for a pleasant
year Of sports contacts and rela-
tionships, both with the readers
and the actors Of athletics.
It's been a lot Of fun, catc.-
ing to your literary and artis-
tic tastes this past year, and
we would remind you that not
only at Christmas, but every
week day, The Times sports
pages are our gift to the half
million population of this area
we serve.
We try to put in these pages
what you want-1ot what we
want. In such q sense, it is your
paper, not ours and your sug-
gestionS and criticisms, cauStic
or otherwise, are our guide in
giving you the type Of sports
you wish.
We believe that is q good
frame Of mind in which to pass
not only. Christmas, but the
other 364 days Of the year-this
spirit of helpfulnesS to one an
other. It is a good time to
forget pettinesS and selfiShness
with which sports, like any
other human endeavor are
fraught-and give way to toler-
ance and understanding.
And so, like Tiny Tim, we say
to all our friends in the sports
world-"GOD BLESS YOU
EVERY ONE!"

Maryland National Capital Park and Plan

mittee in its survey work, and Mayor j..

Because two members OF the Zoning
Committee we're unable to attend, the
scheduled formal public hearing had to be
deferred until time 70 be announced with
in the next few days.
Mayor Spates stated that he expects all
prelimnares to be out Of the way in time
for early adoption by the mayor and coun-
Gil Of an up-to date zonins ordinance.
