Oldest Inhabitants
| Tell Of Capitals
Memorable Floods

John @. Garland Of Georgetown
had the Association Of Oldest In
habitants almost stumped last nigh,
at their meeting at the old Union
Engine House at Nineteenth and n
streets NV.
The subject for "reminiscences was
floods. Mr.. Garland employed the
Journalistic trick of locaHzing. In
anticipation of the meeting, he had
read up on the Johnstown flood
and he localized that.
He told how on May 81, 1889,
the dam burst above that little
industrial city relasing wide body
of water 100 feet deep that was
backed up for miles and how 1850
people were engulfed and drowned
Recalls Local Scenes.
He said he remembered as a boy
Of IL going to the Aqueduct Bridge
(now the Key Bridge and seeing
bodies entangled in the trees float
ing by and two-story house
jammed against the bridge.
Not that the water released at
Johnston flowed down the Poto-
mac. That went down the
Monongahela and the Ohio. But
the same rains that caused the
Johnstown flood caused the WASH
ington flood that week end, COM
memorated by a marker all can see
four feet UP on the park cornerstone
at Fifteenth street and Constitution
avenue NV, across from the Com
merce Department Building.
Mr.. Garland remembered how the
flood broke Q three-masted schooner
|-one that used to bring ice down
from Maine-from her Georgetown
moorings and she went down river
spinning like top" He said 1t
was fortunate she beached on a
sandbar near the shipyard at the
foot Of Sixth street because If she
had hit the Low Bridge, she would
have broken 1t in two, seeing the
condition 1t was in then"
Turns Back to 1872.
That gave the members something
to top. John Clagett Proctor, presi-
dent and historian Of the associa-
ton, recalled how in 1912 when the
construction of the Capitol had
started the Tfber flooded. President
Thomas Jefferson offered his horse
and $40 to anyone who would rescue
a workman up in tree surrounded
by the raging flood. There were no
takers. His grandfather had written
about 1t in little book, he said.
Fred Emery said he had been up
a tree himself in that 1889 food
while on an excursion to Mount
Vernon, caught by the rising waters
of Little Hunting Greek. But he had
been Just boy then. He deferred
to those who remembered Jefferson's s
time. w
Walter e. Allen remembered the
1889 flood and how an 18-inch carp
was caught In the Pennsylvania sta
ton at Sixth street and Constitu-
ton avenue NV, where the Ma
tional Art Gallery now stands-right
In the waiting room where Garfield
had been shot.

BETWEEN US
 NEIGHBORS
By Arthur l.. Johnson

The purpose of a credit union Is to promote thrift among neigh bors and to create a source of credit for useful purposes.
 However, as wise individuals in vesting in any venture, we should first be aware of the hazards of risks and also discover the safety factors; therefore, I am relaying, neighbors, the seven safety fac tors of credit unions:
 D Federal Credit Union funds must be deposited in a bank and insured by the Federal Deposit In- surance Corporation,
 p The Treasurer and all per sons handling funds must be bonded,
 3 There is a reserve for bad debts,
 Al Security is required on all loans in excess of $1O0,
 5 Officers and directors are not allowed to borrow from their as sociation in excess of their share holdings,
 @ There are provisions that guarantee all loans against all if nancial losses,
 p The federal deposit insurance makes a periodic examination of the books and records of the cred it unions.
 These then, neighbors, are the safeguards for the soundest com munity investments that we can make. Next week we shall discuss the management of the credit union.

 tended, and that it will be a de- light to our parents.
 We see that the city's leading barber shops have increased their prices and that there is a lot of loose talk in regard to the rise. Having been in barber shops all over the country I've found this to be true. Every shop that was kept up to the minute charged more for their work than some of those that were in every day lan- guage, "not so hot.'' The barber at his best is in my mind underpaid, and our Negro barbers usually have to cut hair from ones ear, nose, and trim moustaches all for the price of a shave and a haircut. If we as workers receive salary increases in line with the govern ment's recommendation that 20 percent more should be in every pay envelope, we then must ex. pect to pay more for things that we buy.
 We were glad to know thai Rosalind Lawson, now Rosalind Putnam, is a resident here and is giving the city the benefit of her widespread knowledge in the field of social work. We now have en- cugh social workers here to really solve our problems if we as pa- rents will give them cooperation.

Leon Dukes many friends will no doubt read with pleasure that he is making good in New York City.
 Our New York reporter, G. S. Clark, Jr., sent us the following regarding Leon: At present ''Dukes," as we all referred to him, is doing office managerial work with the Amsterdam News, one of the East's leading Negro weeklies. He entered this organi- zation little over two years ago as circulation distributor, and worked up to district manager for the Bronx. Also with his wife, the former Sadie Taylor, he is respon- sible for the management of a Beauty Parlor, Dressmaking and Millinery Shop in the building on Seventh Avenue where the couple resides.
 We remember Dukes when he was a machinist in the shop of the New Haven Railroad here, and also when he was head-waiter at the City Club. We've always felt that he had too much "on the ball" for this town, and that he only needed a wider field of ac- tivity to prove his ability. While living in Hartford a It. tie over two years ago, he was ac- lively connected with the Amer ican Legion, the Turf Club, and the Knights of Pythias. Many of his friends who associated with him in the aforementioned organi zatons will recall and remember him for his enthusiasm for pro- gressive community enterprises. He is also remembered as a rabid sports enthusiast around Hartford and vicinity.
 The Craftsman Club is present ing Mrs. Pearl Reed Brown, one of Hartford's leading fashion crea- tors, in a Fashion and Talent Show for the benefit of their build ing fund, in the YWCA auditori- um on Ann Street, May 22 at 8:3O pm.
 Aside from the fact that all men like to see beautiful girls in fine raiment and that Eleanor Bess, proprietress of New Haven's famous Elnora Dress Shoppe is sending up some of her most at tractive models, there will be the added incentive of winning three pairs of nylon stockings that will be given away as door prizes. The winning of these stockings should get some of us men out of the "dogIhouse."
