Is it true, as some people seem
to believe, that everything is prede-
termined? That it is useless effort
to work for better understanding
and better living conditions in the
World? How much good effort then,
and talent, has not been wasted.
Stanley Jones, however, is not 60
ing to quit, he says: 81 am still an
evangelist and missionary and my
business is therefore to reconcile man
to God, to reconcile man to man and
man to himself"
1t was such joy when Christmas
came to find that all the effort Of
untiring mothers, of young and old
everywhere, had not been wasted. It
is never wasted time to prepare for a
great event. AS rule we get what
we expect to get. 1t really is marvel
GUS to find one self as much small
er fraction than anticipated of the
constituency that made up the fell
lowship at our Christmas services.
Happy indeed are those who are big
enough men to enjoy an unselfish
happiness, whose JOY is increased
every time they, as fraction of the
whole, are being decreased.
AS we are closing out the old
year and entering upon a new one
we must not forget that God is
working out a purpose. 1t may seem
complicated and futile, still we are
expected to cooperate and do the best
that we know.
It's while we are hard at work that
God is most likely to appear to us.
The nations of this world have
seen much darkness and despair.
AS the bearers of Gods message
to their peoples the prophets of old
strove valiently to keep the fires of
faith, hope, and love burning in the
hearts of men, until the last of them
stood forth and proclaimed that God,
because He is greater than the world,
would reveal Himself through His
Son, for He wanted all men to know
that He works through the world,
and that He suffers with it.
These essential truths should not
be underestimated. We are apt to
get discouraged when we fail to get
the thing done which we started out
to do. Let's not forget that every
work honestly done, even if we fail
to attain our goal, and every life
honestly lived has permanent value
for the world, let's remember that
the only one who fails is he who
quits, who yields to discouragement
and gives up the fight.
Wishing you all the very best of a
New Year from beginning to end.
Though dark thy way, still sing
and praise;
Sometime, sometime we'll UNDER
stand"

Garrison School Tops Record
In Waste Paper Salvage Drive

Breaking all previous records,
Garrison School yesterday turned
in an even 5000 pounds Of paper
and magazines in The Evening
Star-P.-T. A. Salvage for Victory
program, that total being exactly
996 pounds greater than the previous
high which was held by Jefferson
Junior High School.
Not only did Garrison set high
for total but also new high for
magazines in one day, 2,485 pounds.
The combined collection will yield
$6l.45 for the use Of Garrison's
PIT. A, that figure also being the
greatest revenue for q single days
collection.
In the four collections this month
Garrison has contributed 26,663
pounds of paper and magazines to
the Defense salvage stream and, with
one more collection due this month
at that school. probably will set up
a record which will not be touched
for a long time.
Powell Junior High School stu
dents, who have jumped into third
place. are pressing their drive to
get their school and their PIT. A.

1t was found that the gyrnnasiums

Opposes ; Petitions
For Zonine Changes

REORGANIZATION OF the local ci-
william defense setup to eliminate
such AFRAID warden assignments as
making traffic and recreational sur
vevs, canvassers and acting as a
sort OF general messenger service"
was urged last night by the North
west Citizens Council.
The council voted unanimously on
the motion, made by Mrs. Leslie B..
Wright, which also urged the el1ml-
nation Of all organizations not d.
rectly concerned with the defense OF
civilians.
Three rezoning applications,
scheduled for the zoning Commis-
sion meeting this morning, were op-
posed. Each case was explained by j..
Sanders, who was authorized to ap-
pear before the commission. Two OF
the applications, concerning prop
erty on both sides of Massachusetts,
avenue between Arizona and Ne
braska avenue NV, and on the
east side Of Connecticut avenue be-
tween Van Ness and Yuma streets
NV, provided for change from
class residential A restricted to class
residential A. The third case pro-
vided for change from class resi-
Dental A restricted to class first
commercial C, and concerned prop
erty on the southeast corner OF
Connecticut avenue and Albemarle
street NV, and the northeast cor
ner OF Connecticut avenue and
Yuma street NV.
On the motion OF Thomas v.
Regan, the group passed another
resolution asking for the extension
Of bus service from Tenley Circle
TO Macarthur boulevard, until such
time as cross-town line to Mill
tary road is instituted. The pro-
posed extension would run from
Tenley Circle on Nebraska avenue
to Loughborough road, and from
Loughborough road to Macarthur
boulevard.
Another recommendation suggest
Ing that recrational centers such as
libraries, museums, the Botanical
Gardens and art galleries be kept
open at night to relieve the recrea-
tion problem, was reiterated on mo-
ton Of Mrs. Wright.
The meeting, held at the home OF
Mrs. Wright. 1920 Thirteenth street
NV, was presided over by Henry

last night voted in 200 members as
. Membership Committee to can
vass the section for 5000 members.
J. L. Bord, who presented the
motion, pointed out that so per
cent OF the dues collected will be

mittee of the area. 1t was also
announced that members will be
asked to contribute so cents q

work and that such contributors
will receive a sticker-shield for their
house window.
Following a report by w. c. Po-
teet, chairman of the Educational
and Recreational Facilities Commit
tee. the group voted to request sur
facing Of Fairgrounds at the Rudolph
and Keane Schools, as well as fence

is being applied to the debt and 1t is
expected shortly at the present rate
that the acoustical tile will be COM
pletely paid for. When that occurs,
the students will turn to other pro-
jects to improve conditions about
their school and playground.
In . less favored section Of the
city, remarkable improvement has
been shown this month by q num-
ber OF schools. Ambush, for instance,
which prior to March had never
been as high M 900 pounds in q
single day, has turned in 1878,
1,051 and 2,118 pounds 80 far this
month. The students have become
aroused and intend to keep their
school on the upgrade from now on.
Giddings, another school which had
been a small producer in the same
general area, has had three collec-
tions over 1900 pounds each this
Evening star., 1942-03-25

month. Wallach, likewise. after
never passing the 6o0-pound mark,
has not been under 1 200 pounds this
month. A. Bowen, in the same class
on previous record, has been 4 half
. ton or better every week this
month. Payne, with a previous high
OF AIT, has been in four figures
steadily since the advent Of March.
Randall Junior has made the most
surprising improvement, Of course,
for after never making 1000 pounds
In one collection, it has reported
15,779 pounds in four weeks, while
Hine Junior in two weeks has turned
IN 9,467 pounds. These returns ex-
plain why the first district is moving
ahead 10 rapidly.
