ORPOOL OPENING
Swimming Is in Their Hearts
and Minds, but Cash
Gifts Are Needed.

Seven youngsters left their play in
the midday heat at Judiciary Square
yesterday to take a look at workers
cleaning swimming pool at 614 E
street N.W.-the pool they hope will
be opened for their use this summer.
The group went along primarily to
have their pictures made, but had a
few pertinent remarks to make during
their one-hour stay at the E Street
Young Women's Christian Association.
Children Are Ready.
One Of the girls-there were three
girls and four boys in the group
took look at the big tank and COM
mented:
Gee! Wouldn't it be fine if it had
some water in it now! I'd just Jump
right of here and get good soaking"
And she ran to the edge Of the
pool, holding her hands over her head
in an amateurish diving manner.
Her friends joined in her en-
thusiasm, while the four boys huddled
several feet away discussing their re-
spective swimming abilities and vieing
verbally as to which one would be
able to swim to the opposite side of
the pool in the shortest time.
Contributions Needed
Two workers continued to scrub be-
low them, doing their part to have
the pool ready for opening when suffi-
cient contributions are received to
insure its operation during the sum-
mer months.
The funds are being received
through The Star in the current cam
paign sponsored by the Central Neigh
borhood Council of the Council of
Social Agencies. Oficials hope to
have enough money to open the tank
shortly.

tunes, designed the scenery and Sc
lected and directed the cast.
With this major success behind her,
Catherine is now working on another
play. "Vallo Gallo" which is to be
presented as a special spring feature
program within few weeks.
"'Vallo Gallo is the story of a poet"
Catherine explained, 80 I thought I
might as well make his name rhyme,
too"
The young playwright also has
written poetry for several years, and
three of her verses will be used dur

recreation.
Once she became 80 engrossed in a
play that she worked until almost

But that was during vacation" she
said. "Of course. can't keep any
such hours when I'm going to school" !"
Altogether she has written Is plays.
Though she prefers drama to poetry,
she has been successful with her verse
also. One of her poems was read over
a radio program broadcast from Lang
don before the Presidents Birthday
Ball. Another poem in which she ex-
pressed her schools gratitude for many
things which have been done for the
pupils by the Kiwanis Club was pub
lished in the Kiwanis magazine.
Catherine also sings very nicely, but
she gives the most important singing
roles in her plays to Grace Vitality,
whose radio programs are well known
and who also is pupil at Langdon

The boy bit his lip. He couldn't

At that moment the door of the shop
swung open. Dan turned to see two
men entering. One of them was short
and dark and swarthy. He WAS loudly
dressed and a cigarette dangled from
a corner of his mouth. The other was
a big. burly, rough-looking man. his
face marred by a scar on the cheek
and a caulinower ear. Dan stepped
forward.

smaller man. can help you?"
The man removed the cigarette from
his mouth and fiicked the ashes de-
liberately on the floor.

lips We got a little matter to talk

his hands.

of the two visitors said the words with
