Board Of Trade Plans
Next Seasons ProRram,

When the Board Of Trade a few
years ago changed the time of
holding its annual meeting from
the fall to the spring its efficiency
was increased many fold. Before
1t was changing officers and Or
ganizing committees and perfect
ing plans at the very time when
they needed to be completely Or
ganised. This was found to be a
serious handicap and resulted in
the change.
Now with the election out of the
way. at the end of the period of
greatest activity, they build up the
committees and lay out the plans
during the summer for the fall and
winter civic campaign. Officers,
directors and committee chairmen
met recently. made a thorough can
vas OF confronting problems and
worked out tentative program for
each committee. In addition the
committee chairmen outlined prob
lens now pending before their COM
mittees and what the committees
hope to accomplish.
Particular stress was placed upon
the necessity of counting the cost
OF proposed expenditures in the
light Of the already heavy taxation
with which the District is bur-
dened. Heavy additional expendi-
lures, 1t was pointed out, will neces-
state a further increase in taxa
ton.
Among the chief items Of the ten
tatlve program the necessity for an
adequate payment of the Federal
Government Of its fair share toward
District expenses was given special
emphasis. Other items in the list
are development of the foot of
East Capitol street; erection of an
auditorium; outline and endeavor
to secure five year development
for libraries; deepening of the Ana
costa, Georgetown and Washington
Channels; re-establishment of a
night court; general promotion of
Washington as an educational CEN
ter. and the creation of a Gravelly
Point airport.
The foregoing is only a peep into
the bag of problems which the
Board Of Trade and its numerous
committees is preparing to study
and work to solve.

"All boat nomenclature is divided

names, classical, cute or clever, COM

Take this first group, for instance,
where a yacht has a moniker of two
or more words. As you might expect,
Sea leads all the rest. I've seen no
less than 100 boats with names run
ming from Sea Bat to Sea Wolf. And
Blue is a heavy favorite from Blue
Bell-that always struck me as being
mighty poor one-to Blue Wing.
The ladies rate high, too, for I've re-
corded many Lady Anne, Lady Grace

nautical group. all your newcomer has
to do Is spend a day around those
sailing fellows and pick out the
saltiest word he hears. Better 60

Personally, Ill take Barnacle.
"Christening yacht after a woman

admit It, Sure, Mary leads all the
rest from what I've seen. Nancy

Don't think because you have Just
a small single cabin job that you can't
take name from the classy Diesel

never fail to impress. Here are a
few: Iolanda, Cleodoxa, Hellanthus,
Belisarius, Alcyone, Cambriona. Cas-
sandra and Stella Polaris. For real
flash I'll take Yrrebeinna.

RANGERS warn
ABOUT FIRES
Berry Pickers Responsible for
Several Fires; Penalties
Cited for Convictions.

Berry pickers should be careful about
discarding their smokes" local U. S.
foresters warn in pointing out that
several fires have been started during
the past week by berry pickers, pre-
sumably from cigarettes. Last week
end fires on the Rajamaki farm, three
miles south Of Ely, and another, two
miles north of Birch lake were started
by berry pickers.
With the abundance of berries this
year, many pickers are expected to go
into the woods after them. Because so
many of them are careless with cigar
cites, they represent fire hazard that
should not exist, foresters feel.
Persons who are convicted of starting
fires through careleSSly discarding Gig
arettes are subject to a fine up to $500
or imprisonment up to II months or
both, it is pointed out.
