Thanks for Fair Reports
OF Arlington County Problems.
TO the Editor Of The Star

TO the EQ1tof OF The star:
Sometime ago it was my privilege to
express to you the appreciation of the
federation for the fair editorial and
news position adopted by The Star in
presenting both sides of the electric
power bond issue recently before the
people of Arlington. That was the OBJ
jective of the federation's Public Utilities
Committee, and we were grateful for The
Stars cooperation in giving publicity to
the facts concerning same.
During the period it has been my privi-
lege to serve as secretary to the fedora
ton the row house. business zoning along
Lee boulevard and the extension Of the
George Washington Parkway up the Po-
tomac River above Key Bridge contro-
versies have been before the people of
Arlington. Success in attainment Of the
objectives of the federation either has
been accomplished or is in sight. With
out the splendid publicity of the facts
given by The Star, 1t is my opinion the
efforts of the federation possibly would
have failed.
The fair and unbiased news reporting
in civic matters by your representative,
Mr.. Alexander r. Preston, has been most
gratifying. The interest of The Star in
civic matters has been evidenced in many
ways. JULIAN D. SIMPSON,
Secretary, Arlington County Civic
Federation.

The King Of Peace

Deep purple shadows veil the days re-
treat. Dusk softly steals
Through mist. The opalescent radiance
of the sky reveals
A subtle prophecy. A darkness born of
suns recess
Finds benediction In the evenings lin
gering caress.
With quiet dignity the lantern moon
dispels its light
AS stars weave diamond lace into the
sapphire shroud of night.
Across the earth's vast corridors Dame
Winters carpet spread
In spotless folds of velvet snow where
angels steps might tread.
Resplendent beauty masks somber
world. With facile grace
The artist hands of Nature fashion out
of time and space
The christening robes of majesty to drape
the form of earth;
While silence, suffocating sound, attends
royal birth.
Then through the midnight hush the
angels serenade; the King
OF Peace this hour is born, let faith and
hope in triumph ringl
ELINOR FRANCES JOHNSON.
