Manor Park Citizens
Back Party 10 Curb
Halloween Vandalism
Tentative Plans Are
Outlined at Meeting
Of Association

In q determined move to stamp
out vandalism in Manor Park on
Halloween, the Manor Park Citi-
zens Association last night sup
ported Arthur Kriemelmeyer, rec
reation director for the area. in his
proposed program to keep the kids
interested on Halloween so that they
won't go out and destroy private
property" The group pledged its
cooperation in putting over the
celebration and appropriated toward
expenses.
Mr.. Kriemelmeyer said tentative
arrangements called for movies or
a bonfire to be followed by dancing
In the Calvin Coolidge High School
auditorium.
1t. John E. Scott of No. 6 police
precinct pointed out that the ulti-
mate solution to vandalism lies in
the home. If parents could make
their children realize that the VIM
dows they break are paid for by
their families, vandalism would be
cut to a minimum, he declared.
Hit Tax Exemptions.
Accusing religious and other nom
profit organizations of using their
property for profit purposes with
out being taxed for it, the associa-
ton supported John D. Shoots mo-
ton to ask the District Assessor to
furnish the members with the
amount of non-taXable property not
owned by the District or Federal
government in the District. The
resolution also requested the names
of the owners and the uses to which
such property was put.
Declaring that no provision is
made for payment of witnesses in
nonjury criminal cases in Police
Court. the group urged that no dis
tinction be made between non-j jury
and jury cases.
Many times, Mr.. Smoot said, wit
nesses to a crime won't give their
names to officers because of the
time and money that they lose
In appearing in court.
The association urged that the
Zoning Commission reject the pro-
posed regulations which expand the
definition of restricted one-family
dwellings to include any religious or
political group. Abolition of the
Board of Zoning Adjustment was
asked "Since it is of no benefit to
the citizens"

laughed. He never saw a joke, not
even if you pointed it out to him. Even
Mrs. Masham had so good laugh
occasionally that Joan had to put her
toupee straight after it. Fancy spend
ing all your life with man who never
laughed. Could it be done?
Pong!
Something twanged in the night,
making her jump. Joan wasn't fright
ened, once she realized what it was.
Someone had clambered cautiously
through the wire fence and was even
now approaching the hen house.

ing her stick Il thought as much"
She stopped dead. 1t wasn't Rupert.
1t was tall thin young man with a
good deal of curly hair and an incredi-
bly, innocent face. He had large
basket in his hand.
''StealingT' said Joan, bitterly.
"Oh, no. Communicating a few eggs

They stood close together in the
moonlight. you didn't expect me-"
said Joan.
NO." said the young man. Can

not seem at all ashamed.
DO sit down." he said, and offered
her Mrs. Masham's campstool in the
most courtly manner. She sat down,
looking at him. He was dressed in
war romper, or battlebocker, SO she
knew he wasn't an officer. Instead of
boots he wore pair Of sneakers, tradi-
tional footwear of those up to no good.
"You see, we simply couldn't get
any eggs, and both the Colonel and
the Major get so unpleasant about it
that l thought I'd try my hand on a
private venture"
1T never struck you we might want
them ourselves. I'm the one who gets
all the blame when the hens don't
lay," said Joan.
''How could l know that, when l
didn't know anything about you? OF
course, it will be quite different now"

Joan couldn't sleep for hours when
she got back, for thinking about it.

hanging in the hall She put it on over
her coat, and took a large walking
stick from the umbrella stand and
little camp stool. She went through
the wet grass down to the hen house,
to wait, as she thought, for Rupert.

odd shape.

better take what can get
But she decided to put off taking it
till the very last minute. Alan hadn't
got as far as holding her hand yet. He
was working round to it, but he wasn't
there. The thing was to mark time.
Instlnctively Joan knew it, though she
didn't know why
1t was Tuesday morning She went
down through the wet grass to the
paddock, to get the eggs. The Vicar
was coming to tea that day, and Joan
knew Mrs. Masham hoped to floor
him with a bumper crop.
She stood, transfixed with horror.
There wasn't single one. About
her the hens wandered, dlsinterested,
occupied with trifles.
Mrs. Masham was furious. What
have you been DOING" she demanded.
Hens do not 60 off lay like that!
There is something amiss.
All that evening and the next day
she was most offensive, as if she sus-
pected Joan of beating up rich ONE
lettes and consuming them in secret.
Joan did not often cry, but she shed
a few silent tears as she made the
evening tea.
Alan found her doing it. He tried to
take her in his arms Joan, have you
realized that am getting little fond
of you. dear?" he whispered.
Almost anything might have hap
pened - if it hadn't been for the tea
kettle. 1t was a patent kettle Mrs.
Masham had bought. which blew a
frantic whistle in its spout when ready.
That was all right, but if not attended
to Immediately it proceeded to blow
out its whole spout in very vulgar
manner indeed. Joan was able to post
pone the evil moment tor while
longer, in the hope something would
happen to tell her what she ought to
do. So she just said:
Its very kind of you, MIR. Gordon.
Iwonder if you'd mind carrying in the
brown bread and butter while make
the tea"
She didn't want to choke him off
altogether. That would make Mrs.
Masham angry. and she did not want
to be out of job. Jobs were not as
easy to get as they had been when
Alice and Cook left. But she knew she
did not love him, because she wanted
to giggle. Love is brave, and love is
gay and charming, but never, never
funny.
The hens continued to withhold
their hand. Mrs Masham bought
book called The Hen - How To
Keep It," and put it with very mean
ing slap beside Joan's plate at lunch.
1t was this book that brought one fact
home to the girl Hens, once they are
under way with delivering the goods,
don't cease all at once for no reason.
There was dirty work afoot. She
determined to discover what it was. In
her secret heart she suspected GER

like an angel, but, according to his
mother, who probably knew, wasn't.

 And those put on sale the first day" supplemented MT. Plumley, have never been worn out. So the manufacturers have changed their formula and are making them of little different grade now"
 That will wear out?" asked the surprised Dr. Stanley.
 That will wear out,7 said Plumley. That is a fact"
 There is no demand for re- placement, then?" inquired Rep Cannon of Missouri.
 No said Plumley, you never have to buy another pair"
 We asked MT. Plumley where he got that information. We would like to collect some of the first edition hosiery, But MT. Plumley wasn't definite. He Sid he got the information generally from wo- men who have tried them" He said he had no such information direct from the Dupont factory.
 MT. Plumley said he had told the appropriations committee of the record" of other commodities which were so good when first produced that the factories had to change them so they would wear out and keep people coming back for new goods.
