Takomd Park Citizens
Association Disbands;
Aims Held Fulfilled

The Takoma Park Citizens
Association disbanded last night
after more than so years service
because there mo longer is a
necessity for its existence
John Walker, president, said the
association was formed in the
1880s to serve the Takoma Park
area, both in Maryland and the
District, when only a few homes
were in the area. Now number
of other associations have sprung
up to cover the section. he said.
We've accomplished almost
everything we need in the neigh
borhood in the way of permanent
facilities" Mr.. Walker stated
There. really isn't much to fight
for now
A resolution was adopted by the
group last night, setting forth
some of the accomplishments and
civic improvements during the
years which came as result OF
the associations work. They in
cluded the Takoma Branch Lii
brary, where the meeting was held,
the Coolidge High School, elimina-
ton of grade crossings and con-
struction of four underpasses, the
improved transportation facilities
and highway, lighting and tele-
phone facilities.
The membership included resi-
dents Of both Maryland and the
District but almost all those liv-
ing in the District withdrew in
1924 to form the present Citizens
Association of ~Takoma. D. c.
Other neighborhood groups formed
in later years also depleted men,
bership.
Mr.. Walker said that in the last
few years, only about 8 or 10 loyal
members attended the meetings
The officers decided to face the
issue and decide if the association
should continue.
Postcard queries sent to about
10 persons in the neighborhood
brought only about Is responses,
he said. And of those who an
swered, only three said they were
for continuing the association
Three favored disbanding and the
others didn't even answer the
questions, although they mailed
the cards back, he said.

ENCORE AUCTION AT
 SCHApIR0 CONCERT
 PUBlICIzED IN }. F,

Maxim Schapiro's recent novel and successful efforts here to swell the fund for a concert grand piano have received publicity outside the Territory, as well as in other AL aska newspapers.
 Moreover, one of the nations foremost symphony conductors is interesting himself in the matter of finding the ideal instrument.
 So writes Jack Fletcher. former manager of the Baranof Hotel, in letter to Ernest Ehler. Fletcher enclosed clipping of Herb Caen's popular column, Its News to Me- from the November 16 issue of The San Francisco Chronicle. It fea- tured an item in boldface type tit led Add Musical Triumphs."
 In his usual breezy style, Caen told of the San Francisco pianist" auctioning off encores to benefit the fund.
 Caen did not mention, however, that Schapiro contributed his tal- ents for his second concert here this season. As Juneau it will re- member, Schapiro played here early in October, sponsored by the Busi- ness and Professional Womens Club, and later changed his sched- ule so he could play return en- gagement for the piano fund.
 More than $1,0O0 poured in for requested encores, the entire con- cert putting some $500 in the bank toward the new piano.
 Fletcher, whose friendship with Schapiro dates from the pianist's first Juneau concert three years ago, wrote that Pierre Monteux, conductor of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, is enthusias- tic about the project, and hopes to locate a fine concert grand piano for community enjoyment in Ju- neau.
