Mexico: the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. Hot Springs, Ark, and
Hawaii National Park, which latter
boasts several active VOLCANOES.
Some of us, however, cannot go so
far afield on fascinating adventures
when the wind howls down the Chin
ney. We are workaday lot, tied
to desks and pay checks, saving
anxiously toward a precious two
weeks that will be ours when Summer
beats its brazen drums along the
Washington byways. Yet we must
have recreation, for health, for hap
piness, for mental and physical alert
ness. and we should have part Of it. at
least, in the out-of-doors.
So we come all the way home from
our telescope wanderings about the
map, turn the lenses end for end and
magnify that part of the park system
that lies along our own doorstep. We
know their possibilities in warm
weather. their leafy walks and bride
paths, their picnic spots. their turn-
bling waters-let's do little exploring
of the other possibilities when the
tumbling waters are quiet under their
icy overcoat and the trees rattle bare
branches under chilly sun. All. but
the air Is filled with exhilaration
and not factory smoke here in our
Capital City. Walking still has zest
and snow scenes rival Spring witchery.
The bride paths are crisply in
viting to good horse and warmly
clad rider on all but minimum num-
ber of days, the highways open
through the parks and along the river
for the motorist, except in heavy ice
and snow, and no one has ever COM
pletely explored this most historic
of all American cities. When the
lowest temperatures come and still
water is safe for skates, then some
friendly policeman or the Park Serv-
ice itself will direct us to the nearest
spots, closed of for skaters and sleigh
riders. There we can get just as
many roses in our cheeks and put
just as much fun under our belts as
If we had taken the Magic Carpet and
sailed to far corners and expensive
outings.

ALASKA MARINE WORKERS FIGURE. IN NEW ACCORD
No Definite Action Taken, Both Sides Apparent
 ly at Loggerheads

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec 23. Shipowners and marine firemen to- day drew up a separate accord for Alaska marine men as completed tentative agreement for submission to union membership. The new accord provides for eight hours a day for Alaska workers as well as offshore workers and monthly wa ges of $67.50 to $87.50. It also pro- vides 30 cents an hour for overtime and subsistence allowance of $1.50 day in port. It further provides that all matters in dispute must be settled in the same port.
 Meanwhile, Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward F. McGrady ar ranged meeting today between the negotiating committee of the Mas ters, Mates and Pilots, headed by Edward O'Grady, Secretary of the local, and the owners. Thomas G. Plant, spokesman for the ship-own- CTS, said: We are ready and will ing to meet the unions any time. That has always been our position" '"
 Federal officials sought the re- sumption of peace negotiations fol- lowing statements from each side which blamed the other for block ing action. McGrady temporarily abandoned plans for a return trip to Washington for Christmas after announcing that the owners and li- censed deck officers would confer today.
 There was possibility of renewing negotiations with Marine firemen. Spokesmen of the latter said they would not vote on whether to ac- cept the tentative agreement until proposals were ready fer other strik- ing unions. The sailors left indef- mite the date when they would take action on the tentative agreement.
 Plant today accused Harry Brid- ges of the Longshoremen of block ing settlement and attributed to Bridges the remark that there can be no coast peace until the striking eastern seamen win their demands. Bridges denied such stand, de- claring: No smoke screen is big enough to conceal those really re- sponsible for prolonging the strike.
