Limited Parking Ban
AT Fairgrounds
Indorsed by Group
Manor Park Citizens
Association Acts After
Debating Pros and Cons

With a view to curbing accidents,
particularly to children, limited
restriction against parking on
streets adjacent to Fairgrounds or
recreational centers, effective only
when the areas were being used. was
advocated by the Manor Park Citi-
Zens' Association last night.
Action followed a lengthy discus
sion with opponents arguing it is the
duty of parents to train children to
stay on sidewalks and not run into
the streets between parked automo-
biles. It also was argued that when
events are held at the recreational
center in the community, those with
automobiles from distant parts of the
city would park in front of homes,
depriving property owners of places
to park their own cars. Those in
favor of the resolution, however,
contended that enforcement of q
limited ban would give motorists q
better chance to prevent accidents.
Oppose RezoninE Of Lots.
The association opposed the issu-
ance of permit to construct gaso-
line and service station at Third and
Sheridan streets NV. and the re-
zoning of five lots on the west side
of Blair road between Rittenhouse
and Quackenbos streets NV. from
residential "a to second CONNER
cial.
A request was to be made of the
Federation Of Citizens Associations
to appoint committee to determine
whether the Board of Zoning Ad-
justments rules of procedure insure
protection to property owners. If
not, 1t was further requested, the
Federation propose an amendment
thereto.
Pedestrian Control Studied.
A resolution indorsing pedestrian
control at congested intersections
with regulated lighting systems and
a nominal fine for offenders was
referred to the Executive Committee
for further study and a report at the
next meeting.
Cooperation with the Citizens
Association of Takoma, D. c., in the
annual Christmas celebration was
voted.
Another motion passed requested
investigation by school authorities
and engineers of reports of dim
lights in Whittier School, where the
association meets.

snake seems to be seized with an
attack OF heart failure. A fearful
convulsion takes hold of the poor thing,
and after several spasmodic shivers
from head to tail, the creature appar-
emily gives up the ghost.
Many, not knowing of this last and
most effective trick, have turned the
reptile over with a long stick and it
remains as limp as a rag. Repeated
efforts to arouse 1t are to no avail.
The reptile is then looped over a stout
stick and carried away from the scene

All Bats Have Ewes

Bats are quick to learn and can be
trained sufficiently in two days to eat
from the hand. These mammals
are very clean, washing themselves
with their tongues. The saying,
blind as bat" is incorrect, since
all bats have eyes and in all prob
ability are merely dazed by sudden
bright lights. Although bats feet
are undeveloped and unadpted for
walking, their wings are so well
equipped with exceptionally keen
sensory nerves that they can whizz
through pitch darkness without col
liding with any object.

Too Independent

We hear lot of talk nowadays about what wouldn't
Talk to those people and they haven't shoe,
For they are the with nothing to lose
That always give you advice right job choose
It's all right to tell somebody where to go,
But still you better have enough dough-
To tide you OF else in the hole
For such independence puts you the relief rolls.
Under all times circumstances right
Better think things can sit tight
For how you talk in 'front.'
Unless you back up brunt.
Independence is all right if we don't abuse,
The real meaning of the word and excuse,
The false ideas entertain,
In regard to what is rights and future gain
About your job and position in life,
Don't be too independent and miss a lot of strife,
That would be yours if you did not
About your future cause jobs .#
