TREES
MENACED BY
FLOOD DIKES

japanese cherry trees, in large
number, will have to be sacrificed
If proposals to erect dikes through
West Potomac Park for flood con-
troll of the Potomac are carried
through, it was learned today at
the office Of National Capital
Parks.
Advanced by the United States
Engineer Office, the plans call for
a 22-foot levee from the Lincoln
Memorial southwark to the Eric
son Monument and east to the
John Paul Jones Monument. From
this point east, the dixie would ex-
tend through the Tidal Basin to
join Independence Avenue. The
corner Of the Tidal Basin north of
the dixie would be filled in.
Gaps To Be Left
Gaps would be left in the dixie
for West Basin Drive and for
Seventeenth St. along the East
Basin Drive.
Long synonymous with Wash
ington's springtime beauty, the
cherry trees which would be af-
fected are located along the
northwest bank of the Tidal
Basin.
AS explained by the National
Parks Office, the grading of the
dixie and the fill-in of the basin
would completely cover many Of
the trees and would destroy the
vista of many more.
LeveeS already erected from the
Lincoln Memorial along the north
side of the Reflecting Pool and
eastward to the vicinity Of the
Washington Monument are re-
garded by the National Capital
Parks Office as adequate.
The office explained that trees
in the vicinity were little damaged
by flood conditions and that the
Rejecting Pool and other property
in the area were affected only
slightly by the water overflow.

animation of boy ills. 1t will con-
tain a swimming pool of tile, IS
feet long and 80 feet wide, with
a maximum depth of feet. Plans
call for violet rays to provide sun
ray vitamins for the boys while
they are in the pool.
A library, auditorium and games
room, and various types of handi-
craft shops, will be built in the
new club.
Immediate Need
Areas which are in immediate
need of colored boys club include
the section in the downtown COM
mercial portion of the city, taking
in the Northwest sections of Rhode
Island and Florida Avenues, and
extending east to North Capitol
Street.
Director Fyfe pointed out that
a survey of the area called for the
establishment of club facilities to
take care of membership of from
1,500 to 1000 boys.
More than 1000 colored boys
are without any type of club acti-
vitieS in the Southwest area, and
it is highly desirable that club
be established to meet this need.
A large colored boy population
in the Southeast section should
have club facilities, Director Fyfe
pointed out. The new building
for white boys will take care of
the need of this group for years
to come, but with the exception
of a Boy Scouts unit and a small
boys welfare club, the colored
boys are left without club activi.
ties of any kind.
1000 Is Estimated
It is estimated that a club with
membership capacity of 1000 is
needed.
The Georgetown section Is
another area where the colored
boy population has been neglected.
A club for 1000 boys is needed in
the section.
A club of sufficient size to &C.
commodate approximately 1000
members is recommended for the
section around Howard University
where, 1t Is estimated, 2,500 boys
are without club facilities.

ALEXANDRIA
ASSURED OF
LIBRARY

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Jan. l..
Alexandria city will establish a
fre public library during the pres
ent year, it was learned here today.
With donations already offered
including 10000 volumes Of books,
an $4,000 endowment fund, a
building estimated to cost between
$4,000 and $4,000, and an ap-
preparation Of $1,000 annually as
compensation for part-time
librarian, success Of the move
started here by the Alexandria
Library Association is considered
certainty. Definite action on the
offer will be taken by city council
at a meeting scheduled for jan
uary IL.
Books to start the library have
been offered the city by the Alex
andria Library Association, one of
the oldest organizations in the
city, dating back to 1894.
Among the volumes offered are
some 5000 rare books estimated
to be worth $25 900. Offers from
the Library of Congress, the Uni.
versity of Virginia Library to pur-
chase these books have been re-
fused. This group is also offer
ing the city it's $4,000 endown-
ment fund, with permission to use
part of the fund to purchase a
lot for the new proposed building.
The building has been offered
the city by DR.. Robert South Bar
rett, of Alexandria, who recently
donated the new Alexandria Boys
Club. The only provision to DR..
Barrett's offer was that the city
purchase a building site.
The $1,000 salary appropriation
was made by city council in the
new city budget just adopted. It
is estimated by those interested
in the move that operation of
such q library, including all cost,
would be approximately $4,000 an
nually.
Alexandria, according to local
library authorities, is the only city
of it's size in this country without
free public library.

horse teams. Motor trucks have
replaced the horses and the lat
ter have passed into the "by-
cones" with the draymen.
In Washington, about 175 men
still call themselves "teamsters, "
but only a few have ever driven
a horse-drawn dray wagon. They
are, for the most part, truck
drivers and helpers, engaged sole.
ly in trucking produce, furniture,
etc., in and out of the National
Capital.
According to H. A. Patterson,
business agent of the Teamsters
Local Union No. 639, about three
score of those ITS teamsters are
unemployed.
