Felix is familiar figure to thou

Whitehaven PARKWAY
Sports Protested

Burleith Citizens Association last
night took steps looking toward
prohlbltlng the use of Whitehaven
Parkway. Thirty y-seventh street be-
tween T and U streets NV, for
sports and kindred activities after
citizens OF adjoining properties
voiced complaint that such use has
rendered the area unsightly in re-
cent months.
Henry F. Brown, who offered the
motion, said large numbers of
school-age children have been mis-
using the park property as we'll as
the property of surrounding resi-
dents by playing various ball games
and congregating in an objection
able manner. The matter was
referred to a Special Committee to
be appointed with the view to con-
sultlng the Park and Planning Com
mission.
The group voted to oppose the
Randolph bill to increase the gas
tax of the District, expressing par
ticular objection" to the proposal
to divert such funds to the general
maintenance fund.
John w. Buckley of the United
States Customs Service spoke on
narcotics and smuggling practices.
Mr.. Buckley said the price of illicit
dope has increased recently, due to
the effectiveness of Government
control methods, and indicated that
the practice is diminishing. Various
narcotics were placed on display.
The Program Committee of the
group was appointed by George w.
Winfrey, president. Serving are
Mrs. R. c. Bishop, Shirley Mayors
Charles Tatum and Mrs. Helen Mer-
ritt. The meeting was held in Cor
don Junior High School.
