Thousands of Chevy Chase resi-
dents will find in their mail boxes
tomorrow an invitation to make a
permanent investment" in their
community.
That's the opening gun Of what
the Chevy Chase Community Coun-
Gil hopes is the last battle in the
long campaign to make the old E. v.
Brown School into thriving COM
munity center.
The parents, pastors, school chill
dren, businessmen and plain citi-
zens who make up the council figure
they will win this battle, too.
After all, they won over three re-
luctant District Commissioners to
the idea of a center for Chevy
Chase. They piloted their project
through Congress. They found out
what the Recreation Department
and the Public Library prescribed
in the way of furnishings and equip
ment.
$1,000 Is Goal.
And now, they have launched
their campaign to pay for what it
takes to make an attractive center
out of a barren old building.
The goal is $4,000.
Here's how they're going about
the job: = ..l
The mail appeal will go to thou
sands Of residents. -
IS The same letter on a different
color paper will be distributed to
every child at Woodrow Wilson High
School, Alice Deal Junior High
School and Lafayette and Ben
Murch Elementary Schools. The
children will be instructed to take
the letters home to insure a direct
appeal to parents.
Students at Woodrow Wilson have
helped by printing placards boost
ing the campaign in their school
print shop. The placards, distrib-
uted by a student committee. will
appear in $50 store windows
throughout the area.
The churches also are being asked
to cooperate.
Say All Will Benefit.
The council, representing every
organized group in the community
is making this every Chevy Chase
residents campaign on the theory
that all of them will benefit.

6. ". Sigma Nus Told
To Be More Quiet 50
Neighbors Can Sleep

Members OF Sigma Nu Fraternity
at George Washington University
were placed on notice yesterday that
the old college spirit is all right
during certain hours, but that the
hours are not those when the neigh
bors want to sleep.
Nearly a score of persons living
near the Sigma MI house at 1922
Twenty first street NV. appeared
before Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Robert F. Kneipp. Mr.. Kneipp
took official notice of complaints
of boisterous talking. screaming,
profanity and cheers in the front
and back yards at the same time,
banging doors, raucous motor horns
and other sounds Of collegiate
revelry.
He warned that the students must
cease and desist or "the boom will
be lowered on them"
Unkindest Cut of All.
Robert E. Lynch, owner Of ar
apartment house next door to the
fraternity, asserted the uproar has
been going on for months, capped
by two celebrations in the last week
"The noise was worse than ever,
he said OF the recent nerrymaking
|" There were cars janming the back
alleys and blowing their horns
groups of boys cursing and cheering
| in front and back of the. house.
And the unkindest cut of all, ~
distinctly heard some of them shout
To he'll with the neighbors.
Mrs. Edith Sutton, who lives ir
the apartment house, apparently
was puzzled. Her experience witt
Sigma Nu had been different before
coming to Washington. She had livee
next to a Sigma Nu chapter II
Texas, she said, but she never
heard any boys so unruly' as hel
present neighbors. She said sh'
wondered often when they foune
time to study.
Orders Issued.
Mr.. Kneipp ruled: members mus
name marshals to patrol the ares
against noisemaking. The "rumpu'
room" must be locked promptly al
the curfew hour of 2 am. The entlr'
matter must be referred to higher
fraternity authorities.
William A. Wendt, former heae
of the fraternity chapter, said las
night 1t was pointed out to Mr.
Kneipp that some of the noise com
planned of had not been caused b.
fraternity members. 1t was salt
also that only three complaints b.
neighbors had been made directly t,
the chapter.
Mr.. Wendt said corrective actiol
would be taken. He said the chap
ter has been pretty civic minded
and that among its worthy action
has been the raising of $3.50 for tn
George Washington Hospital cam
paign.

Stage First Parade
In Full RegaIia Here

dash of medieval pageantry and q
liberal portion of circus spirit
stalked the streets of downtown
Washington last night as Capitol
Forest No. 104, Tall Cedars of Leba-
non, staged their first public parade
in full regalia.
The purpose of the unprecedented
display was explained by the Grand
Tall Cedar Elmer F. Stein as a cele-
pration of We day and the promo
ton of cedarism. He defined
cedarism as "a sort of light-hearted
Masonry" Only master Masons are
eligible to belong.
About $50 of these merry Masons
including a group of candidates tc
the organization, turned up for the
parade which started at pm
from the Cedars' headquarters al
523 Eighth street NE.
Some were dressed in long rega
robes, complete with false hair anc
boards, others wore orange ano
green outfits while a third grouI
were dressed in what appeared tt
be white long winter underwear.
The parade was completed by the
Capital Forest band, jeep, ane
a goat, dragged unwillingly by two
stout chains. zone member of the
organization said the goat wa:
called the training goat" ane
should be considered, he thought
a mascot of the Cedars). A bab!
carriage bearing a full-grown baby
who drank milk Cor something tina
looked like milk out of bottle
attracted attention.
While onlookers gazed in aw'
and bewilderment, the parade pro
ceeded east on E street to Mary
land avenue, along Maryland ave
nue. to Twelfth street, North OF
Twelfth street to H, west of H II

Fund Campaign for Equipping
Brown School Begins by Mail

And the present plans for the
center support that theory.
Chevy Chase is reading COM
munity. The center will provide
larger quarters for the Chevy Chase
branch library and that means more
books.
The young people have had no
place where they could get together
after school-no place but the cor
ner drugstores. In the center
there will be hobby shop, a can
teen where they can dance to juke
box music as they sip soft drinks,
a game room and a lounge.
Both adults and young people
have felt the lack of place to hold
meetings. The center will provide
meeting rooms for all the groups,
from the Scouts to the citizens
association.
Even the youngest members of the
family will have play center.
Plasterers at Work.
The center is moving closer to a
reality every day. Plasterers are
now at work in the old school at
Connecticut avenue and Mckinley
street. Workmen expect to put the
finishing touches on the school by
the first week in July. >..n
Equipment the. Recreation De-
partment can afford to buy is now
moving into the departments store
house. The staff for the recrea-
ton center has been appointed. 1t
includes Mike Tardugno as COM
munity organizer; Elizabeth Maggie
as senior recreation director and
Mitzi Hamman as recreation di-
rector. a.. .3-->- =
Already, more than 300 books, two
record players, several record al
buns and two ping pong tables have
been contributed by residents OF
Chevy Chase.
Now the residents are being asked
to supply the dollars to buy the
chairs, tables, tools. games, cur
tains, pictures and dozens of other
items needed for the center.
The checks, made payable to the
Chevy Chase Community Council
will go to Edward T. Stafford, coun-
Gil treasurer, at the Washington Gas
Light Co.
When the checks are in, the cohn-
Gil will buy the equipment in the
name of all the good neighbors OF
Chevy Chase.

 The time for action is at hand!
 The Democratic administration of the United States has been the sym bol of help and hope for the com mon man at home and abroad Let us now do our duty to all of the people by helping to keep the Demo- cratic Party in office.
 With a press ana radio largely dominated by Republican big inter- est control, the nation is being flooded with bitter and critical pro- poganda, much of it bought and paid directly and indirectly by large wealth and interests, who seek gain for few at the expense of the many. The Democrats must, by the spoken and written word, bring the truth to the majority of the people. Now is the time for every good Democratic to help. We are calling upon you to support the Party. WIN WITH TRUMAN, BARKLEY
 AND BARTLETT
 Send us your contribution in the enclosed addressed envelope, or hand it to the Juneau Precinct Commit tee Chairman who will call on you in few days. You will be given a receipt and your name will be placed on the roster of loyal Demo- crats who gave liberally in the in- terests of their party If you do not wish your name to appear on such a list, you, of course, may make an anonymous contribution. Yours for Democratic Victory,
