.Griff Gives
Longevity
Recipe
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

Tunes Sports Editor
Clark Griffith, at
81, says he feels better
than when he was 81,
and Griff was never
known to overstate a
fact.
Surroun n d e d by
family, friends, chrys-
anthemums, critics,
gifts and gravy, he
marked the day by
giving his recipe for
longevity.
Although Griff admits he
learned his formula too late in
life to hope to ever be 100,
he's got everything doped out
to reach 80, and I'm among
those who hopes he's right.
he often is.
"Sleep plenty, eat moderately
and keep your conscience clear"
says Griff, and he uttered the
last phrase without ever batting
an eye.
The ShOWn1an Touch
Indeed Griff is a nut on relaxa-
tion and sood, and of course his
conscience is famed throughout
baseball.
About food, for instance, he'll
tell you to make your breakfast
mostly dried fruit. While they
answer the purpose of fruit juices,
they also provide maStication
which creates saliva, the greatest
aid to digestion, as well as give
the teeth and gums their normal
exercise.
Mote: This hardly explains
Griff'S severe digestive attack
in New York during the World
Series. He must have been cut
ting up bit the night befOre!)
Eat meat but once a day and
make it good red meat with it's
blood giving and nourishing pro-
penSities. This doesn't apply so
much to young, growing people or
those whose daily task is vigorous,
but more to the swivel-chair COW
boys who work from the neck
north. Juveniles should go
stronger on flesh foods.
For Boys and Girls
And here's Griff's advice to
boys and girls. If they would
grow to be real healthy men and
women, reaching their best stat
ure and development: Hit that
hay regularly and without stint
ing.
He holds that boys and girls
grow when asleep, not awake,
and instead of confining the
stretching solely to the morning,
stretch mildly when retiring and
prepare the body to expand.
Such is one form of relaxing,
according to the Griffith agenda,
but he also holds that a we'll
rounded program of athletics,
sports and games particularly
baseball games) is essential to the
even development of mind and
muscle.
His personal relaxation is golf,
and any off-season day when it
isn't raining there's where you'll
find him from l o'clock until
dusk. On the days it is raining,
he's a pinochle hound. par. He's

WARNED

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Jan. 17.-Residents of the
new Colonial Village Apartments
in Fort Myer Heights who park
their cars along Wilson Boulevard

Judge B. M. Hedrick yesterday

ditions at the new apartment vii
lage, Sheriff Howard B. Fields
told the court that the police de-
partment had been very liberal
and had shown every courtesy to
Washington people who have
moved into the new apartments.
He added:
"The time has come when we
must force people to obey the
few parking restrictions in the
county. We allowed Colonial
Village tenants to park along
the Boulevard until Rose Street
was completed so that there
would be ample parking space
within the village.
THE situation has now be-
come SO damned that the traffic
coming from Washington dur
ing the rush hours takes an
hour or two to clear through
this section. Traffic is not only
bad but autOists are placed in
danger"
Colonial Village is the first Of
Government financed low cost
apartments. 1t is located between
Rosslyn and Clarendon.
