since Dorothy writes such a nice
letter in rhyme we'll have to
answer it.
Yes, the Mary" of the poem
was Mary Elizabeth Sawyer and
she become the owner of the
lamb when she found it after it
had been forsaken by it's mother.
Mary became attached to the
little lamb and the lamb thought
so much of Mary that it actually
did follow her to school one day.
When Mary found the lamb in
school with her she tried to hide
it in her desk, but when she went
to another class the lamb ran
gaily after her and, amid the mer-
riment of the scholars, the teacher
put the lamb out in the yard to
play.
It so happened that a young
poet by the name of Rawlston was
visitor in the school that day,
and he wrote several verses for
Mary. The poem of "Mary's Little
Lamb" was NOT one of the origi-
nal Mother Goose" rhymes of the
collection of Elizabeth Goose, but
it was thought to have found its
way to Publisher Thomas Fleet in
Boston through RawliSton's father,
who was a riding instructor in
Boston. It appears, however, in
the old editions of Mother Goose
RhmyeS of that day and now.

$4,000 Cost Too High,
General Opinion
By A. J. DRISCOLL
Citzens Associations Editor

Citizens ASSOCIATIONS E01bOf
Proposal to establish a perma-
nent traffic safety commission In
the District today was snagged by
diversified public opinion.
Already approved by the Wash
ington Board Of Trades traffic
committee, the plan for the COM
mission advanced by the National
Safety Commission was recon-
mended for approval at the first
fall meeting Of the Federation Of
Citizens Association, but failed Of
Endorsement.
The Washington times., 1938-10-03
COST Toe HIGH

Opposition was centered around
the estimate that $4,000 would be
necessary to carry out the work.
A. D. Calvert, of the Lincoln Park
Association, told the federation the
plan was beyond reason and the
cost too high. He was supported
by w. j. Tucker, of AnacoStia;
Harry N. Stull, of Stanton Park;
William NICK. Clayton, Of Bright
wood, and others. Put to a vote,
the proposal failed of passage by
virtue of a tie ballot of 81 to 81.
The federation gave unanimous
Endorsement to the action Of its
executive committee, in urging
the Commissioners to keep the
1910 District budget within the
anticipated aggregate tax yield.
On motion by A. H. Gregory,
membership committee chairman,
the BladenSburg Road Citizens
Association was admitted to
membership, with N. M. Murray
and William F. Ryan as delegates.

Mrs. Stokes is very much in

Miss Dettweiler's medal round
of 7o broke the course competitive
record and yesterday in defeating
Mrs, Meckley, defending Middle

kind of golf.
Compared to 19-year-old Marion

To reach the finals Of the Baltl-
