GreenbeIt Children

Proposed changes to insure the
safety OF Greenbelt children who
will live near superhighway to be
built close to the community were
explained last night by Oliver
Winston, general field office director

ministration.

which would overpass the highway.

the road will be II feet below the
level Of the surrounding area, 1t was
explained.
Mr.. Winston said he had con-
ferred at length with Federal
Works Administration and public
roads officials On the superhigh-
way problem and felt the most
satisfactory" solution had been
found. q -.--
Council members conceded the
plan now is an improvement over
the original, but continued to ex-
press doubt for'-the safety OF chill
dren Of the community.
The council authorized appropria-
ton Of not more than $615 for war
memorial park and youth center for
Greenbelt. The money will come
from balances in appropriations and
funds appropriated the recreation
department. The ordinance also sets

untary contributions to the project.

WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE

1t is the spirit that quickenetn
the flesh profiteth nothing: the
words that l speak unto you, they
are spirit, and they are life. But
there are some of you that believe
not. For Jesus knew from the
beginning who they were that be
lieveth not, and who would be-
tray him.
And he said, Therefore said
unto you, that no man can come
unto me, except it were given UNI
to him of my Father.
From that time many of his
disciples went back, and walked
no more with him. Then said Ja-
suS unto the twelve, Will ye also
go away? Then Simon Peter an
swered him, Lord, to whom shall
we go? thou hast the words OF
eternal life. And we believe and
are sure that thou art that Christ
the Son of the living God.
