4 MoNd the handsome members
~ Of this genus. the Norway Il
~ the favorite. It is the one yo,,
see most often standing guard
before the doorways; 1t is the faithful
sentinel in the cemetery: the large
and prosperous spruce in the land
scaping plans Of the florist; and the
beloved evergreen Of many 4 beautiful
lawn.
It also serves as nurse tree for
slower growers. Is windbreaks and
shelter belts. It makes handsome
hedges and its timber is excellent.
John Burroughs said, He who
plants a tree has friend" We can
have many stanch, loyal friends
among the trees. To know their his
tory always gives us a good idea what
to expect. how to appreciate and
what to do to make ourselves worthy
OF these tree neighbors.
The spruces are cone-bearing, pyr-
amidal evergreens. They have tail,
tapering trunks and slender, hori-
zontal branches that end with sturdy
twigs. They change their clothes reg
ularly, but are never nude and their
cones furnish seed children that may
be planted in lonely bare spots, with
still some of them left over for the
squirrels and birds.
Norway spruces, like their kin folks,
have lnnC t0sl0h f3hrou, roots rn
reach well down into the soil, drink
the moisture to be found there, send
up food to the leaves, that in turn
are busily engaged in sending down
the energy they have soaked in from
the sun.
The four-angled leaves are stiff
pointed and solitary. They are spir-
ally arranged and each set on a prom
inent woody projection.

reiterated by the Brookland Citizens
Association, meeting last night IL
Brookland Masonic Hall. The reso
luton carried proviso that, If "abso.
lutely necessary" the sum could b
raised 100000 for Washington

have limited sales tax, and would
"by no means" have real estate
afiecred by additional levies.

ment Of the Brookland citizens on the
belief that it keeps out politics"

any change affecting the present sys-
TEN governing the board was also
taken. Miss Grace Bush, principal oi
the Brookland Elementary School
offered the motions.
The Public Utilities Commission will
be requested to reinstate the former

DANGEROUS CURVE
REMOVAL IS ASKED
Conduit Road Group Also Wants
Permanent Markers Leading
to New Field House.

Several Improvements in their area
are being sought by the Conduit Road
Citizens Association, among them re-
moval Of a sharp turn at Conduit and
Foxhall roads.
The As degree turn at this corner
is difficult TO negotiate, Charles E.
S. Rich, president, points out, espe-
cially in wet or freezing weather when
the streets are likely to be slippery.
It is an especially dangerous corner.
he says, as it is on the route Of the
Potomac Heights bus, and several ac-
cidents have been threatened. This
also is the route the school bus takes.
and the bus must make wide swing
on the wrong side Of the street In order
to make the turn.
One difficulty standing in the way Of
making the turn corner less sharp
is a fire plug and telegraph pole on
the corner. Rich hopes, however, to
have these distractions removed.
The association also has asked to
have permanent markers set up to give
directions to the Palisades Park Field
House, where the association meets
and many of its functions are held.
The field house is located back Of
Sherrier place, between Edmunds and
Dana places, and Rich points out that
many visitors and even members Of
the association have difficulty in find-
ing its out-of- -the-way location.

CIVIC COOPERATION
ASKED FOR CLUB
Friendship Invites Five Groups
to Aid With New Boys
ORGANIZATION.

Five citizens associations in North
west Washington have been invited
bv the Friendship Citizens Assocl-
alton to appoint delegates to COM
mittee which is being formed to dis
cuss future plans of the recently
organized boys club.
The club was organized about a
month ago, but as yet it has no name
1t is to consider this and other mat
ters connected with boys affairs that
the committee is being formed.
The five associations invited to join
are Chevy Chase, North Cleveland
Park, American University, Forest
Hills and Richmond Park. In a let
ter to the president of each assocl-
alton, Samuel J. Flickinger, presi-
dent Of Friendship asks that two
members of each group be named to
attend committee meetings, the first
of which will be held in the near
future.
Representatives from the Friend
ship association will be Flickinger
and James Brogden, chairman Of the
Special Boys Club Committee. This
committee, appointed last Fall to lay
plans for the club. had 300 boys in
attendance at the first meeting.
In his letter to the other associ-
ations, Flickinger pointed out that
although Friendship originally had
organized the club, many Of the boys
attending came from other sections
He thought, therefore, that other as
sociations should have a hand in
determining policies of the club to
which their boys belonged
Among the things as yet undecided
about the club is the type it is to be.
Several members OF the association
and some of the boys want police
boys club, while others are opposed
to this idea and want the community
center type. A name also must be
chosen
At present the club is meeting every
Wednesday night at Woodrow Wilson
High School under direction of the
Community Center. Flickinger, for
one, thinks that meetings should be
held more often, at least two or three
times each week. "One-third of the
boys who came to the first meeting
have been coming regularly ever
since" he said, "and this indicates
that they are taking great deal OF
interest in it."
