Thoughts on Life
Keeping in Tune
By DIR. JOHN HOLLAND


program the man who sings on the
program was rehearsing in one of
the studios. The pianist said, "You
had better not rehearse with this
piano for it is out of tune. 1t will
throw your ear out of pitch"
Ralph Waldo Urine, a generation
ago, wrote a book with the title, In
Tune With the Infinite" He de-
veloped the truth that the mind Of
a man may be attuned to the thought
purposes of God, in harmony with
the universe.
Morally, we tend to take our tone
color from III associates. 1t is called
the Influence of our companions"
Chameleons and certain frogs and
fish have the ability, for protective
purposes, of changing their color to
match the objects near them. The
whole United States is just now,
shocked at a crime committed in
Chicago by quartette of young
"sgangsters." The father of one of
the boys, speaking over the radio,
said that their son had always been
a good, law-abiding lad, until he be-
gan going out with the leader of the
gang The desperate gang-leader
got the other boys "off their moral
pitch"
The one great task of parents, as
their children enter the ssteens," is
to be sure that the pals, chums,
friends of their children are of the
right sort. 1t frequently happens
that the harmony of the best home,
sending a son or a daughter out
into the world, has to witness the
almost entire shift of the moral and
spiritual ideals of their children.
Some strong minded friend of the
wrong sort, can throw the good boy
or girl "off pitch"
Fortunately, there is another side
to this influence matter: 1t is pos
sible to keep in tune. There is a
sure standard of perfection with
which we may companion and COM
mune.
The great hymns of the church
are all unison in portraying the
communion of the soul with God

years each, after the initial elec-
tions, with half of the two bodies
being elected every other year.
Population Fixes Areas.
Considerable debate arose as to
how the sectional voting districts
should be outlined. At first the
Auchincloss Subcommittee sug-
gested using the geographical Sec
tions. This quickly was thrown out
because the relatively small popu-
lation of Southwest Washington
would have had the same number
of district spokesmen as much
greater Northwest. 1t then was
determined to divide the District
into four equal population voting
areas.
How this would be done, where
the boundaries would fall, and
with what effect, has been a mat
ter OF interest, especially among
the minority groups.
Only a partial answer is found in
the bill and the revised report of
the Auchincloss Subcommittee. As
previously revealed, the actual pop
ulation division work would be
assigned to the Census Bureau.
The latest Legislative drafts now
reveal that the dividing lines Great.
ing the voting areas would start al
or near the United States Capito
Building and run to the District
boundaries. The dividing lines
would follow streets or other known
divisions as straight as possible.
PR Held Too Complicated.
Some have urged the adoption
OF proportional representation sys-
tenn as means of assuring repre-
sentation for minority groups, es-
pecially the Negro population. The
authors have discarded this as be-
ing too complicated.
Some sponsors of the measure say
the proposed plan leaves the door
open to minority representation
They take it for granted that Negro
and other groups woud have repre-
sentation.
Councilmen would be paid $4,000
year. The compensation was kept
this low to avoid attracting pro
fessional Office seekers" interested In
pay ahead of service.
The council would name one OF
its members mayor. He would have
a, 5000 expense allowance.
Members of the School Board
would be paid up to $3.50 a year
with the board president getting
a maximum of $375 a year.
Registration and elections would
be handled by Board of Elections
of four qualified electors, serving
four-year terms. In the first in
stance, they would be named by the
President and thereafter by the
mayor with the approval of the
council. They could not be Office
holders or run for Office. They
would be paid s25 day, up to SOC

elections would be staged February

Recreation Unit. Asks
Senators 10 Prevent
Garage Reassignment

Ohicials of the Recreation Board
and Southwest Citizens Association
today asked the Senate District
Committee to prevent the District
| Commissioners from assigning to
the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic a garage building at Ninth
and H streets S.W. on ground pur-
chased for recreation purposes.
George j. Stewart, District Com
mittee clerk, after an informal hear
ing said he would lay the whole
problem before Chairman Buck for
consideration.
The garage, known as the "Harbor
Garage" now is occupied by the
War Assets Administration, testi-
mony disclosed. but this agency has
been ordered to move.
The Commissioners indicated their
place in letter to the. Southwest
Citizens Association which said that
mo other adequate space is avail
able. They added, however, that
the Commissioners will make plans
for final solution to this shop
problem which will permit the Har-
Dor Garage to be evacuated when
space demands permit, so that the
plans of the Department of Recrea-
tion at this point can be COM
pleted.
Harry S. Wender, chairman of the
Recreation Board, contended that
since the land was purchased in 194C
by the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission for recreation
purposes only, it should be returned
to such purposes for which Congress
appropriated the money.
The garage occupies something
less than an acre in the tract OF
nearly three acres bounded by G, H
Seventh and Ninth streets SW., ad-
jacent to Jefferson Junior High
School,
Frank Hurst, chairman of 6
special committee, and Joseph H
Schneider of the Fairgrounds Com
mittee of the Southwest Citizens
Association, contended that the ga.
rage occupies space badly needed as
a playground for small children
