TO LOOSEN LETTUCE LEAVES
 Leaves of iceberg lettuce and cur- ly lettuce often stick so closely to- gether that they cannot be sepa- rated without tearing the individ- ual leaves. This can be prevented by first cutting around the core with sharp knife, then holding the head of lettuce under cold running water that is coming out of the faucet with a fair degree of force.
 FOR ROADSIDE DINNERS
 Instead of laboriously cutting and trimming sandwiches for the picnic lunch, remember that it's twice as easy - and just as good - to use fresh frankfurter or finger rolls which can be quickly split and filled with assorted mixtures, then pressed shut again. The rolls do not dry out as quickly as bread sandwiches.

Structure Southeast Washington Built Climax Training Work Which Has Enlisted
the Support of Leading
Have Made Some Unusual Records of Achievement

more than 10000 Washington boys
have been members of the organiza-
ton. A few have turned out badly,
but what is more important, the over
whelming numbers have grown into
real men.
1t would be silly for any one Of
them to say. What am today 1 owe
to the Boys Club" But it is not
silly to assume that the character
building and physical help afforded by
the club made some contribution in
their growing lives, and in some cases,
to be sure, turned the boy from a
road Of crime to that Of good citizen
ship. Any former member will grant
that point without moments hesita-
ton.
SANFORD BATES, former director
OF prisons in the Justice Depart
ment, saw in this training what is
perhaps the only solution to the penal
and crime problems in the United
States-crime prevention. He re-
signed to become executive director of
the Boys Clubs of America, on the al
together logical assumption that the
way to prevent crime is to build char
acter in boys-to nip anti-social ten
denotes in the bud in some cases and
in others to ward off chances for
formation of such tendencies.
The local organization has UNDER
gone many changes since its founding
in 1886. when the late Mrs. George
Maulsby gave 100000 for the forma-
ton of the Newboys' and Children's
Aid Society Of the District of Columbia
The first Board of Trustees to ad-
minister the work of the organization
included Crosby S. Noyes, E. NJ. Gal

McCammon. J. w. Thompson, Walter

Susan Watts Selfridge. Sarah D. La

in the public welfare field

manner that refusals to climb into the
chair, surrounded by It's weird looking
instruments, are few and far between.
A nurse is on duty every hour the
building is kept open.
Financially, the club Is maintained
through the Community Chest Extras,
such as library books and special ath-
letic equipment, however, are received
through direct and specified endow-
ments.
THE personnel includes a fu1l-time
stan Of 20 supervisors and part
time workers numbering 26, a COM
bined figure far larger than was ever
imagined by men who spent their
Boys Club days Is and 20 years ago.
Mr.. Fyfe now has become managing
director of the ofganiza ton.

boxing spotlight. Not so many years
ago George sat at one of those boards
and turned out work that stamped him
as promising cartoonist or illustrator.
Even now" Mr.. Fyfe will tell you,
"if George should happen to abandon
the fight game he would have a good
chance for an excellent living as an
artist"
While on the subject of prize fight
ing, two other boxing alumni of the
Washington Boys Club come to mind,
They are Steve Mamakos and Lew

visited the springs, and so satisfactory
were the cures effected that they
maintained a neueral territory about
them, and all tribes brought their
sick and infgm there.
George Washington as lad of 16
did his first surveying in and around
Berkeley Springs, including the present
park lands. He came upon the springs
In 1748, and after an exhausting day
and a plunge into the springs felt
so invigorated that he and his party
of surveyors decided then and there
to survey the territory, anticipating
a claim for Lord Fairfax. BY grant
from the British crown this property
later became part Of the poperty
of Lord Fairfax, and in ITO, recog-
nizing the public nature of the land,
he bequeathed so acres Of it to the
State Of Virginia, now West Virginia.
Four miles east Of the Cacapon
River, in Hampshire County, w. Va,
and about 80 miles south of the park,
are the Capon Springs, known far and
wide for their medicinal qualities.
Daniel Webster visited these springs
in 1851, and spoke in high praise Of
them. Abraham Lincoln and other
great men of his time were frequent
visitors. and today the curative power
of Capon Springs is recognized, and
sufferers from rheumatism, govt, stom-
ach disorders and other maladies still
frequent the place, which is now q
popular resort.
WITHIN easy driving distance Of
w the park is the Ice Mountain, a
huge, natural refrigerator where ice
is reputed to be found for several
hundred yards along its base and
about is feet beneath it. The noun
tain's base is but 1000 feet above sea
level, yet this strange phenomenon

stream which flows rather indifferently
at its base.
To the south is the little village of
Ridge, nestled in the mountains, where
the State fish hatcheries, with their
acres of springfield ponds, afford in
teresting inspection.
The park receives its name from
the Cacapon River, which flows near
by. OF the many rivers that wind
among the ravines of the Alleghenies
few offer more natural curiosities or a
greater variety of the picturesque than
the Great Cacapon. 1t threads the
rugged country in the northeastern
corner Of West Virginia and adds its
waters to the Potomac short dis
lance from the park. The Cacapon
also furnishes thrills for the fisher
man and canoeist.
According to DR.. John P. Harring-
ton, Bureau of American Ethnology,
of the Smithsonian, the word "Caca-
pom" an Indian name. means lin
sense the river which pierces the
mountain, or, more literally, which is
hindered by piercing the mountain"
The mountain referred to is Big Sandy
Ridge, near Wardensville, w. Va,
where the stream known as the Lost
River completely disappears, and then
flows for distance of three and one
half miles, reappearing on the other
side of the mountain. When it does
emerge it becomes the Cacapon River.
Nearby are several famous healing
springs. Perhaps the most ancient of
these are the Berkeley Springs, known
for over 200 years for the health
giving virtue of their waters. They
were first called the Warm Springs,
then Frederick Springs, and now
Berkeley Springs.
Even before the coming of the white
man the Indian recognized the health
value Of these springs, and it is said

In addition to the modern swimming

offers rooms for handcraft work of
all kinds, art, reading. recreation at
table games and even cooking for
those who have adolescent hopes Of
becoming great chefs some day.
A large library offers a well-balanced
literary diet for boys, and further
more they take advantage of it. This
fact brings to mind one of the most
important appeals the club has for
the youngsters: Its program is one
of informal education, based not upon
compulsion, but on free choice. There
is no RECOMMENDATION.

For the geologist, or student of
geology, Cacapon Park offers a wide
field for study and research. 1t is
worth noting that the ridges and in
tervening valleys are parallel, that the
more resistant rocks-the sandstones
such as the Tuscarora sandstone
make up the ridges; and the softer
rocks, the shales and limestones, I'M
deriie the valleys and lowlands.
Cacapon Mountain owes its greater
height to the protection from erosion
given 1t by the hard. white sandstone
clearly seen from the park, in large
outcropping patches and known as
the Tuscorora sandstone.
Warm Springs Ridge is made of a
sandstone know as the Oriskany. and
1t Is this sandstone which is ouarried
near Berkeley Springs for use in the
manufacture Of glass.
ONE Of the most interesting fea-
lures Of the park Is a collection
OF over SO different kinds of mineral
ana fossil specimens and rock sam
Piles. all of which have been gathered
there. This collection forms the
nucleus for the geological museum

Besides swimming as an added at

Easily reached via Winchester, over

1t is one of a group of four major
park areas and six smaller ones rapid

Conservation Commission, under the
technical supervision Of the National
Park Service, in cooperation with the
West Virginia State Conservation
Commission.

miles southwark to Babcock, Watoga
and Hawks Nest Park, then north
eastward to Lost River and to Caca-

handle, stretches West Virginias new
triangular line of rest and play areas.
Representative of these parks in scenic

in making reservations, Cacapon ranks
first.
