Tales

ONE MANS OPINION

Fred Levinson recently enter
tanned at Jennie Grossinger's
waldorf In The Catskills." The
stage was darkened as Levinson
came into the spotlight in black
face to do his imitation of AL
Jolson. In the background, a hid
den photograph played Al's rem
dition of Sonny Boy"
Levinson got down on his
knees, rolled his eyes, waved his
arms, moved his lips and pretend
ed he was singing just like the
old Jazz Singer. He finished to a
terrific burst of applause.
AS he walked off stage, an
elderly Jewish man, father of one
of the guests, called Levinson
aside and said-"My boy, your
imitation was wonderful. Your
makeup, the way you rolled your
eyes and moved your arms, were
great-but your voice-never in
a million years, will it sound like
Jolson's."

Is near Fair Hill, on a private
estate, several miles of the
Rising Sun-Newark road, up
an unmarked lane.
A little gem of a covered
bridge, quaint and in a lovely
setting. is the one over Bynum
Run, near Abingdon. Few
cars pass and the silence Is
marred only by gunf1re from
the Aberdeen Proving Ground.
Near Kingsville is the Jeri-
cho Bridge. over Little Gun
powder Falls, which there
forms the Harford-Baltimore
County boundary. Restored
several years ago, it Is in
excellent condition-an ex-
ceptiOn among the Maryland
covered bridges. Two most
unusual features stand out:
Strengthening sloping portal
and a floor made up of very
narrow strips.
Only one covered bridge
remains in Baltimore County.
It Is 20 miles north of Balti-
more. crossing Gunpowder
Falls near Hereford.
Two of the three in Fred
erick County are the only
two-span covered bridges in
the State. Both carry good
roads and are well travelled.

One Is at Logs SLaLlon, near
Rocky Ridge. The other Is at
Utica Mills, near Lewiston, not
far from Frederick. During
the flood of 1889, it was
washed from its position over
the Monocacy River. After
ward, 1t was dismantled and
rebuilt here.
The last-and smallest
covered bridge in Maryland Is
a few miles northeast of
Thurmont, near Roddy. Only
20 feet long, it, like most of
the others, Is in rather poor
condition.
These bridges were all built
during the last century; none
can be dated exactly. Like
wise, their historical connec-
tions are mostly implied. All
the really historic bridges,
such as the one at Harpers
Ferry, are gone. And several
Of the eight still In use are
deteriorating rapidly.
Covered bridges do have a
special charm. 1t Is not en-
tirely the .air Of a lingering
past, for they still serve the
community. Instead, it is
more the quiet pleasure one
feels in the presence of fine
craftsmanship, a sense of en-
during competence, of reas.

Bird Ses Into the Past
By Jane Plant

Fellow OF the Royal Geographic Society
WTHAT A strange thrill
w 1t is to walk across
the solid dusty floor Of a COW
cred bridge and what a rare
experience now. Covered
bridges have vanished from
the main roads-yet. surpris-
ingly. they are still with us.
not even very far away.
Nearest are the nine in Mary
land.
These make an attractive
group, a collection of minia-
lures. perhaps. compared with
the long bridges of the Con-
necticut River region or the
sturdy landmarks of rock
Strewn Vermont, but interest
ing in their own way. All
lie between Delaware and the
first line of mountains near
Thurmont, and are in similar
settings. The streams they
cross are as peaceful as the
gently rolling Maryland coun-
tryside around them.
Eight of the bridges are in
actual use. The other has
been replaced by a slim new
concrete bridge beside it, on a
new road. Several are on
rough country roads. That is
why it seems such an adven-
ture to find the old bridges
and visit them. It Is making
a journey into the past. There
is an air of bygone peace.
Three covered bridges are
in the corner of Maryland be-
tween Delaware and the Sus-
quehanna River. The Parks

stark, bold lines, lines made
bolder now that the siding Is

It Is visible from the road
running northward toward

Mr.. Potter said the chairmen's

Park Planners Back Extension
|Of 10th Street in Silver Sprino

Extension of Sixteenth street to
relieve congestion in the Silver
Spring business district was ap-
proved yesterday by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
Plans also were announced for
the planning commissions cele-
bration Of its 25th anniversary on
May /. A booklet outlining the
commissions achievements dur
ing the last quarter of a century is
being prepared by the agency's
staff and will be off the press in
time for the celebration.
Under the commissions plan
the Sixteenth street thoroughfare
will be extended north and west
of the East-West highway to tie
in with an approved extension OF
Western avenue.
Would Ease Traffic Load.
From the intersection of the
two, the route will proceed up Co.
lumbia boulevard through Wood
side and Montgomery Hills to
connect with the projected North
ern parkway along Sligo creek.
The extension would relieve the
traffic load at the busy Georgia
avenue and Colesville road inter-
section and would divert traffic
from Colesville road and Second
avenue. now a bottleneck during
rush hours.
Wheaton residents bound for
the District could get onto Six
teenth street by way of Columbia
