plans for the
summer fun.
Vacation time
is the time for
fun and the
"Old Skipper"
IS going to try
to place your
share on the
deck of t h e
good ship Hap
piness" for you.
First Of all,
6 t a r tin 6 on
Sunday, July "a.
we will be on
the air with a
eeklv club
The Washington times., 1938-07-06


party from the studios of WJSV,
in the Earle Building. This pro-
gram is YOUR program, for
Washington children and by
Washington children, with visit
ors from Virginia and Maryland.
Youthful talent abounds in
every section of the city and in
all neighboring towns. All that
is needed is the chance OF ex-
preston and through the Joint
cooperation of the washington
Times and radio station WJSV,
the door of OPPORTUNITY will
be thrown wide open.
DATE TO BE SET
Try-out dates will be set by
mail from the addition blanks re-
ceived. First come first served.
If you are one who would like to
sing, dance, play an instrument,
impersonate or recite, fill out the
application in this issue of the
Washington Times and mail AT
ONCE.
The "Old Skipper" is planning
many good times together in the
future for our Jolly Crew. and
every youngster who is a reader
Of The Times or a listener to
WJSV can participate. The regu-
lar daily column will carry the
news Of all activities of the crew,
the Sunday WJSV broadcasts will
be the outlet for the pent up emo
tions and ambitions of many and
the Sunday Herald-Times will
carry weekly special feature Of
"Things to Do" for busy fingers.
ONLY A STARTER
AND THAT IS ONLY A
STARTER, for many, many plans
are being formed to make this the
biggest club of its kind in the
country. What more appropriate
spot could be found for a youth
movement than the Nations Capt.
tai? Keep your eyes and ears alert
for the opening of the limited
Charter Membership and in the
meantime the Entertainment Unit
will get under way with their re-
hearSalS.
Some youngsters, like the grown
ups, put off until tomorrow what
can be done today. They are
timid about making the start.
When they see the others in the
spotlight they say "Oh, could
have done that" or II thought Of
that before he did" But they did
not act. That was the difference.
Seems funny to the "Old Skip
per" when we remember that To-
DAY is the TOMORROW you
spoke of YESTERDAY. Railroad
trains move out of the station
TODAY did you ever know
Of one that left TOMORROW?
TODAY is YOURS
Today is yours to use as you see
fit. 1t will not come to you
again. You must use 1t NOW OF
loose it forever. Tomorrow be-
longs to the future and you will
cheat yourself if you wait for it
and WASTE today. Even as you
read this seconds are running into
minutes and minutes into hours.
You are young and strong and
today belongs to you. Don't rob
yourself Of it, for tomorrow be-
longs to the future. TODAY is
OPPORTUNITY. Once before the
"Old Skipper" found himself all
tangled up in this subject. The
more we try to figure 1t out, the
more we are fascinated with it..
For yesterday WAS tomorrow
MAY BE but TODAY is.

 City Engineer Milton Lagergren was reappointed to that position by the Council last night getting four of the six votes cast two going to Metcalf and Redman.
 Matter Of suggested projects for which to make application for new PWA loans was discussed by the Council and it was decided to have the City Engineer draw up esti- mates on various projects, including sewers on Willoughby and lower Franklin streets, the plans to be considered further at a later date. probably next Tuesday night. Mayor Harry I. Lucas stressed the impor tance of making applications at this time as it might be the last oppor- tunity, explaining that it was not necessary to accept the money later if the city decided it could not af- ford to go ahead with the projects. The city library project has that status at the present time, he point ed out. It has been approved by PWA but no further action has been taken by the city.
