Program Planned

The City Planning Department,
with the new planning director
on the job, is preparing for a
resumation of the annexation pro-
gram which came to halt when
the former planning director left
the city nearly a year ago. Extent
of the expansion program will be
dependent upon the response of
signers of petitions in adjacent
county areas and of volunteer cir
culators of petitions.
City employees desiring to as
sist in circulating petitions will be
welcomed, and may contact the
planning department for informa-
ton on the work to be done. The
city has an area Of Ill square
miles compared with about nine
square miles in 1916. It is hoped
to expand the city limits to in
clude the large heavily populated
surrounding areas and thus in
crease the present population from
the present 1O5,OOO.

AN OLD PIANO PLAYER PLAYS
THE BLUES AND SINGS THEM
TOO!

The magic fingers and voice
styling of Amos Milburn can be
seen and heard next Wednesday
night, August %, when he and his
orchestra appears in Phoenix at
the Riverside Park Ballroom on
South Central.
To call the twenty-five year old
Amos Milburn-an old piano play
er, may seem strange, but since
he's been playing from the age of
five, it's perfectly understandable.
When he gives out with the voice
and the piano his records really
come to life and become hits all
over again. Although the tempo's
are bright and modern, there is
folk song quality to them which
accounts for the Universal appeal
OF MS music.
His future right now is as bright
as your hopes for tomorrow. Rec
Nord-wise, his sales story has been
phenominal. His Chicken Shack
Boogie" and "Bewildered" have
led the Variety list for so many
weeks. They have really found a
home there. In fact, his being
number one and two on the juke
boxe favorite lists, makes the
young Mr.. Amos Milburn a bright
contender for all coming popu-
larity lists and honors.
What has happened to him dur
ing the first twenty-five years of
his life, should and can only happen
to a successful artist.

things pleasant around home.

she is acting foolish, H. r. T. I
don't see why woman such as

regret on losing such a miserable

she would sweep him out of the

pleasant and gay for you at home

after you have been out showing
your sweetheart a good time.

last night on Vice President

given by the club in the grand
ballroom of the Shoreham Hotel
The fete was scheduled to last

a great thing to be honored by

to be honored by such an out
standing Democratic organiza-
ton"
Then the Weep. after a few
references to his romance, con-
cluded with poll.
"A1l who think I did we'll say
aye" he requested.
The reply was unanimous-a
loud and enthusiastic "Aye!"
AS a memento of the occasion,
the Barkleys were presented with
a silver picture frame, with the
promise that photographs taken
at the reception would be sent
to them later.
Mrs. Barkley also received a
handsome orchid corsage-a suit

Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt blew
into this vicinity yesterday from
his home in Wheatley Hills, Long
Island, for the housewarming of
his new publishing headquarters
in Silver Spring. He stayed with
Sally and Johnny Escher at their
place near Olney on Bachelors
Forest road, and one can't help
pausing to wonder where that
promising name came from.
Thirty-eight-year-ol Alfred V.
is so well known in racing circles
he has racing stables, is the
largest individual stockholder in
the Maryland Jockey Club and is
its former president-that his en-
deavors in the field of education
are apt to be overlooked. He's on
the board of Hofstra College, New
York, and of the Wiltwyck School
for Delinquent Boys of which Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt is president,
and he has worked with UNESCO
was, in fact. chairman of the
Crusade for Children. On top of
all that for the past three years
he has owned the Young Amer
lea" series of publications. that
now number five, for school chill
dren of all ages from the first
grade to Junior high. These he
moved from New York to Silver
Spring last summer with Johnny
Escher as publisher.
Johnny thinks his boss, who won
the Silver Star as a PIT officer in
the Pacific, is quite a guy. Al
though the children's publications
are self-supporting, If not profit
making, they are aimed at teach
ing the young fry good citizenship
and giving them a sound back
ground in social studies and cur
rent events. Alfred V. obviously
has something besides horses on
his mind.
Alfred Hitchcock took a bus
