Survey by Architects.
Horace Peaslee, Washington archi-
tect who supervised the restoration
of Dumbarton House in Georgetown,
expressed the belief that the rehabil-
itation of old dwellings has advanced
and although there are a number
of new homes being built the infiu-
ence OF the community is moving in
the same general direction.
Mr.. Peaslee, a member of the AL
lied Architects, Inc, conducted q
COMMUNICATIVE survey of George
town in 1888, with several other
architects, in an effort to begin a
restoration program that would en-
phasize Georgetown's individuality,
In the report of the survey, which
was presented to the Fine Arts Com
mission and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, it
was pointed out that Georgetown's
distinctly pre-Revolutionary and
early Federal characteristics were
largely recognized in residential re-
modelling, but considerably disre-
garded in commercial alterations.
At the groups next meeting in
February, architecture in the COM
munity will again hold the center Of
interest to the citizens when Francis
Sullivan, chairman of the Washing
ton Chapter, American Institute OF
Architects, will speak. Mr.. ,SulN-
van will discuss early Colonial archi-
lecture and perhaps supply the
group with suggestions to realize
their greatest desire-to give WASH
ington its old Georgetown, just -
Louisiana has its New Orleans and
Mississippi its Natchez.

It's little wonder that James E.
Colliflower finds lot of fun in help
ing to provide recreational facilities
for Washington youth. In his ear
lier years, Jim was quite an athlete
himself.
The genial first vice president of
the Board of Trade, whose pleasant
manner and willing hand have won
him large circle of friends in this
community, likes nothing better
than to see boys engaged in health
full sports.
Mr.. Colliiower was born in the
shadow of the Capitol and has lived
and worked in Washington all his
life. His background in Southeast
Washington and in District schools
gave him an excellent knowledge of
the recreational facilities for young
sters here. And his experience in
athletics has convinced him of the
value of organized sports in the de-
velopment of character.
Helps Boys Clubs.
That explains his interest in the
Metropolitan Police Boys Club. He
was one of the early pioneers in
boys club work. He has worked
with Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown
on the Police Boys Clubs ever since
their inception, and is now presi-
dent of the organization.
It is doubtful if Mr.. Collif1ower
ever gave much thought to a career
when he was boy because his time
was occupied predominantly by
sports. AS student at st. Peters
School and Gonzaga High School,
he took part In athletic activities
and, like many other youngsters,
played sand-lot baseball.
He was one Of Georgetown Uni

 For Inferior
Youthful Owner Arouses as Much Interest as
 His Vehicle

SEATTLE, Feb. 26.-Evidence of Alaska's development as user of heavy-duty truck equipment, and of the extension of highways around population centers, was recently shown in the shipment to Fairbanks of the first diese! truck ever to enter the northern part of the Ter ritory
 A Dci~o r...-,...--declared to be the most elaborate diesel unit ever constructed by that compahy-was ordered specially built by the Ghezn Trucking Service of Fairbanks, and will be used primarily to transport fuel oil to gold dredges at Liven- good, some 90 miles north of Fair banks. The unit has the first dual drive to be built by Dodge, and, in the 2700-mile drive from the Detroit factory to Seattle, operated at a fuel cost of 112 cent per mile al- though it was carrying a II cthe : truck weighing more than two tons
 Much of the interest aroused by the truck in Detroit and Seattle centered about it's youthful owner, Alfred Ghezzi, Jr., Fairbanks operator of the company which has grown from a single truck to fleet of II within less than five years. Ghezzi, though not yet twenty one, already has achieved wide repu- tation as an energetic truck opera tor. His firm operates all kinds of trucking services, from heavy machinery to fast transport of per- ishables over the Richardson High way ill from Valdez
 The truck was ordered in Fair banks through the Northern Con- mercial Company, Inc.
 The truck will also be the first modern-type tank truck to be seen in Alaska. Prior to being shipped north a 3,000-gallon, two compart- ment tank was especially construc- ed and mounted on the truck in Se- attle Auxiliary equipment for the tank includes fuel pump and me- ter.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26.--Bill Scheffer, who is to basketball what Connie Mack is to baseball, yearns for the old days when players were thrown into a cage with the referee and told to do their stuff.
 Tt was just like a battle royal he said. T wish it would come back again--even for one night"
 Elimination of the center tap was scored by Scheffer, who added that its doom heralded the end of scientific play. He pointed out that in the old days a player had to work for the ball, but now there are so many rules they hand it to you" ~
 Tn an effort to speed up the game, ruleinakers decreed the cen ter jump out. This decision, along with flock of others, Is the great est detriment of the sport today, in his opinion.
 Of course, present play calls for more of a running attack than heretofore, and it's brought the long distance shooter into the pie ture, he admitted.
 Scheffer's career began in the DOS, shortly after the game was inaugurated. He has been suc- cessively water carrier, manager, referee, league organizer and presi- dent with the old National League, the Philadelphia League and the Eastern League.
