OBSERVATIONS

G. A. G. Washington, local bar.
Der ard political leader, made the
front page last week when he en-
countered a wounded vicious look
ing bear in the alley near the shop
where he is employed. Mr. Wash
ington didn't have time to sing that
old familiar song. 20 Lord. If yon
can't help me, please don't help
that bear" The bear was SO close
that his only chance was TO take to
distant paris via the hoof. Even
though he tripped and fell, and ex-
hibits q badly SCARED arm as a re-
suit, he won the race with a good
margin to spare.

Maintenance of present athletic ia

abolishing and rearranging certain
courts and play areas, proposed by the
National Park Service, is urged by the
Georgetown Citizens Association in a
resolution adopted last night at st.
Johns Church.
DR.. B. H. Meyer, chairman, Parks
and Reservations Committee, last
month submitted a report outlining
the purposes. present facilities and
condition of the park. Action was de-
1ayed, however, until the meeting last
night after copies of the resolution
had been distributed TO members.
A substitute resolution by Frank
p. Leetch, chairman, Executive Com
mittee, was adopted in which parts
Of DR.. Meyers report were approved
and all of the report was included
as an appendix.
As adopted the measure disagrees
with the National Park Service plan,

interest of the community. The fol-
