POLICE FORCES RESCUE
GIRL MOTORIST IN CREEK
Autoist Who Disregarded "Ford
Closed" Sign Is Marooned
in Swirling Waters.

Because one young woman motorist
failed to heed sign, the assistance of
two police forces and the Fire Depart
ment had to be enlisted yesterday.
Frances Hand, 20, of 1881 Gallatin
street, was responsible for the calling
out of the protective forces. She was
driving through Rock Creek Park and
decided to cross the ford at Blagden
avenue.
She drove around the Ford Closed"
sign in the middle of the road and into
the swirling, muddy creek. Halfway
across, water flooded the ignition of her
automobile and she was marooned.
A passing motoriSt pulled fire alarm
and a fire truck came to her rescue.
But the firement found they could do
nothing, so they summoned the metro
politan police. Officers from the eighth
precinct responded, but found Miss
Hands dilemma too bafaing for them.
They called on the United States Park
Policies, who, finally, with the aid of a
refuse truck and tow chain, pulled
Miss Hand and her machine from the
creek

Park and Planning Commission an
nounced today that the proposed play
ground for Northeast Washington will
be located between Ninth and Tenth

supervised by the District, but whether
the District or the Federal Government
will tear down the buildings remains to
be settled.
At present, the commission is not
purchasing frontages along F and G
streets, as there are some business in
terests located there. 1t was explained
that creation of the Fairgrounds can
proceed without these for the present.
