Jefferson Memorial

I want to write a few lines
regarding the proposed Jeffer-
son Memorial now, as a follow
up of Mrs. McLean's article in
last Saturdays Times. I will
say I feel keenly, as she does,
that building such handsome
things at this time when money
is so badly needed for more
practical things, is a bit ex-
travagant.
One of Jefferson's ideas, as I
remember it, was to help de-
velop an aristocracy Of learning
in this country, and whenever I
think of the beautiful buildings
of the University of Virginia,
I feel that there indeed is not
only a beautiful and lasting
tribute to his memory but a
most practical one. It probably
was not built with that idea,
but somehow one associates the
idea of the educational institute
which he helped design with his
name.
Why spend money for a dead,
cold piece of marble, however
grand it may be, when the
money could be used for some
thing more vital to the memory
of a man who believed in educa-
ton for the people?
I have been told by an old
timer that Jefferson started the
first little public school room
for some children who could not
pay for learning. I do not know
whether this is a fact or not,
but if so, it emphasizes the need
of q memorial of some kind
which would stress the idea of
education for everybody, like a
hall for lectures and forums.
Something to help our coun-
try live up to it's reputation Of
being the most literate name on
earth, and thus help realize
JefferSon'S dream of an aris-
tocracy Of learning.

If the Dr. .ocrats (not the

him in Governor Lehman. Such

Likes Parking Meters
In an editorial Thursday re-
lating to parking meters you
ask, Who Wants Them?"
May I say that know a lot
of private citizens who want
them-citizens who would like
an equal chance with the all
day parking hogs among our
motorists.
I have seen the parking meter
in operation in other cities and
am for them 100 per cent. They
are diStasteful to parking hogs
and taxi drivers but very popu-
lar with merchants who want
to sell to motorists and motorists
who want to buy from those
merchants.
Certainly, I would rather pay
a nickel for an hour Of con-
venient space than Is or Is
cents on a parking lot or drive
around for an hour looking for
a free space and, in time, wind
up many blocks away from
where I want to trade.
If parking meters are given a
