One thing I did not count
upon, however, and that was
that when you achieve a sue

to maintain it, because every
body has become so accustomed
to thinking of you in a cer-
tain part that every other part
is compared to it, usually to
the detriment of the new role,
even though it may be better.
In short, you not only have
to race with your competitors,
but you have to beat yourself,

all your energy into a creation,
this is not simple. I never en-

With those words, the Rev. DR..

of the Federation of Churches,
developed that theme in his ser
mon yesterday at the George
town Presbyterian Church. He
said:
"In essentials it (the mes
sage) is the same, but new
changes of approach are needed
and new attitudes toward life,
so that presentation may be
appropriate and effective.
christians are to be like
leaven, salt, light-these are
some of the figures Jesus uses
in His appeal to His disciples.
What they did for their day
we must do for ours, despite
vastly different conditions. The
gospel is still the power Of God

CITIZENS DISCUSS
zON|NG CHANGES
Washington Highlands Asso-
citation Names Committee
to Study Issue.

A committee of three was appointed
by the Washington Highlands Citi-
zerls' Association, at its meeting last
night, to study the proposed changing
of four lots on the corner of First
street, Mississippi avenue and Xenia
street southeast from a residential
zone to a second commercial zone.
The first motion, as brought up by
M. T. Warren, owner of the property,
was to change the lots from their
present status to that of a CONNER
cial zone so that in the future COM
mercial property could be built on
the site if so desired. This motion,
however, was substituted for a second
motion to the effect that a COM
mittee, composed of c. J. Wall, H. T.
Postman and w. B. Lovejoy, be ap-
pointed to study the proposition as
regards Mr.. Warren's right in asking
for this change.
All-night parking on side streets
was approved by the association, but
elimination of all-night parking on
avenues and arterial highways was
Endorsed.

was backed by the members. They
promised cooperation in cleaning
and otherwise beautifying their COM
