In Maple Lane Singles;

Latest of Washington's bowling
bambino to toss his hat into the ring
for national ranking honors, Fred
Murphy of Arcadia will be among
the host of local bowlers making
their second trip of the season to
Norfolk, Va, Saturday with the

Maple Lane singles their objective.
Whetting his desire to achieve
spot among the national ranking 10
for the first time with a record
smashing victory in the recent Dixie

the edge over such Capital hoWitzers
as Billy Stalcup of RosSlyn, Cletus
Pannel of Anacostia SpillWay and
Lou Jenkins of Del Ray. who also
are expected to seek their second
ma ior win of the season.
If Murphy can hit the pace he set
in the Dixie when he established an
all-time mark of 2ll3 it will take
some phenomenal maple spilling to
top him.
Likely to be among the District
contingent also are Astor Clarke. the
LAFAYETTE Bowling Center pilot:
Perce Wolfe, Del Rio leader; AL
Wright of Arlington and Ed Blake
nev, the Hi-Skor ace.
Sporting the city's No. ranking
title and 10th place on the national

trated drive for No. honors of the

Home Decoration
J Simplicity the Keynote
Of Modern Decorations

THERE has been a tendency
in recent years to introduce a
modern touch into Christmas
decorations in the home. If you
favor this treatment, the first
point to bear in mind is that,
as in modern interior decoration,
one word typifies modern Christ
mas decoration: Simplicity.
Whether it is your room or
your tree. keep its color COM
bination a simple contrast OF
two colors. Blue and silver, or
red and silver. or green and
white, or any of these primary
colors and clear crystal.
Mantel
For example, suppose you de-
eide to do your holiday room in
modern red and silver. There
are ample tools in the stores TO
carry out such a scheme: Silver
fruits with crystal berries may
be arranged as a mantel deco
ration, by setting a bright red
horn-of-plenty on one end of the
mantel and letting the fruits
cascade across the shelf.
Spraying tree silver and
decorating il entirely with red
balls and red icicles and red
tinsel will carry along the color
scheme. Red candles in the
windows and red bows instead
of the regular curtain tiebacks
are good.
A newcomer to this field is the
