Pierce Mill in Rock Creek Park will
be restored to its old glory, with turn

The Interior Department Secretary
has directed C. Marshall Ffnnan, SUI
perintendent Of the National Capital

restoration. Park authorities have a
description of the old structure and
also have preserved the old grinding
stones.

ings and Grounds, Inc. There is no
mill wheel there now, but officials
know where they can secure one, or
they may take measurements and
build their own.
The park authorities agree with Sec
retary IckeS that the restored Pierce
Mill would prove an interesting relic
of more than a century ago in Wash

city folk that never saw an old
fashioned mill in operation to view
it in the largest park in the Capital.

Judy, listen. Day before yester-

she okayed it. Half an hour later

Judith was squaring her shoulders to
meet the crowd surging to their side
of the yacht when she heard her
