Letters to The Star

considered. Parks are Of little value if
they are not accessible to the public.
Driving through Washington traffic
takes much of the pleasure out of a
visit to park. Theodore Roosevelt
Island may be a beautiful place-but
how many people visit it? AS 1 under
stand the controversial bridge proposal,
there would be no way to drive onto
the island. By resting a couple of steel
and concrete piles on the extreme end
OF the island, a straight bridge can be
built and a large amount of money
saved. If the plans could include pro-
vision for parking near the bridge,
sidewalk along one side of the bridge
and stairway on the island, thou
sands, instead of hundreds, of people
could visit the island. And how would
this harm the island? Or is the island
to remain essentially private" place?
AS a last remark, Mr.. Lewis sug-
gestion that Mr.. Moses might pave the
Mall for skating may have some merit
If the Government paved the Mall and
collected parking fees during the day
and skating fees during the evenings,
both parking and recreational problems
might be eaSed-and there might be
some tax relief!

not for T. Jones, esq.

He can recall when small boys (noW

knickerbockers and blouses.
And long black stockings.
The stockings came clear up to the
bottom of the pants legs. Sometimes
the pants were of serge, sometimes of
cheviot.
Occasionally there was buckle at
the bottom of the leg, but mostly this

Templeton Jones was beefing about
the way things change.
Cant even find the right sort OF
underwear any more" he complained.
He had been looking for an old
fashioned brand of cotton underwear
famous under the three initials OF the
old maker.
They were Baltimore products, but
had become known all over the world
Then the now ubiquitous shorts and
T shirt wrecked them.
Today, if you want the famous old
brand, you have to know where to
get it.
At two places, maybe three, in an
entire city of a million people, the
old-fashioned guy may find them.

Button Gwinnett's Signature

Button Gwinnett is the least known, the
most obscure of all the Signers of the Declara-
tion of independence. He was born in
Gloucestershire, England, but exactly when is
uncertain. The first date in his career which
can be said to be definitely established is that
of his marriage to Ann Bourne of Wolverhamp-
ton, April 19, 1857. Supposedly he was an ex-
porter, dealing in goods for America. BY
September, 1765, he was in Savannah, Georgia,
as a merchant; later he was on st. Catherine
Island as planter. In January 1776, he was
elected one of the five Georgia delegates to
the Continental Congress in Philadelphia.
Then followed series of difficulties which
never have been explained satisfactorily.
Gwinnett was president of the State of
Georgia" for two months in 1777. Quarrels with
other politicians and the failure of an expedi-
ton of Georgia Soldiery against British forts in
Florida led to an Assembly inquiry, which
sustained Gwinnett but did not mollify his
principal opponent, General Lachlan Mcintosh.
The two men met in a duel and both were

cred that the sea floor 900 miles north
of the Azores at depth of $4,000 feet

the ocean bottom have turned out to be
volcanic lava of sort which must have
plunged into the water shortly after
cooling. They can only be the remains
of a sunken island.
Scholars have called Atlantis the
birthplace of many things, including
the sun-worship of Egypt and Peru,
the bronge age of Europe and the Ian
guage of Phoenicia and the Mayas.

wounded. Gwinnett fingered three days, dying
on May IS, 1777. His grave is lost, there is no
portrait of him, his family is extinct
What gives Gwinnett Importance after 176
years is the fact that he was Signer. Auto
graph collectors have searched for his sigma
ture for more than century on both sides of
the Atlantic. One example sold at auction for
$4,000 in 1924 Another, recently matter of
discussion in the consistory court of the Lich-
field diocese of Great Britain, is appraised at
$4,000. It is attached to the record of Gwin-
nett's marriage in st. Peters Church at Wolver-
hampton and parish officers had desired to sell
it to raise money for repairs to that ancient
sanctuary. But the legal authorities have de-
cided against the SALE That is what brings
Gwinnett into the news again. Such incidents
probably will keep on happening as long as
autograph collectors pursue his John Han
cock" He has little other claim to remem-
brance-and perhaps needs none

Greek Tragedy Recalls Atlantis Legend
By Harry Bocos

NTEAR ARGOSTOLION, largest city
~ in the western islands of Greece,
there is a mysterious "hole in the
earth" Into it since time unknown the
sea has poured, flowing straight inland
and disappearing among the rocks. No
one knows where the water goes.
Last week, as the islands rocked and
split under the repeated blows of an
earthquake, the people of Argostolion.
huddling together in the hills, wondered
if that black hole would suddenly open
wide and swallow them entirely.
The thought was not new. The is
landers have always lived under the
legend that someday the Ionian Is
lands will sink forever under the sea.
And, as the devastation mounted and
witnesses told of mountains splitting
in two and crashing into the sea, the
Greek Ministry of the Interior reported
that Argostolion, shattered and silent,
was beginning to disappear under
water.
Was history repeating the dreadful
story of Atlantis, the famous land OF
the blessed" that sank forever more
than hundred centuries ago?
Plato was the first to tell the story
of Atlantis. Egyptian priests, he said
described a continent of fabulous beauty
which was overwhelmed and sunk by
an earthquake 5000 years before. 1t
was an island to the west, beyond the
Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar), ruled
by the descendants of Atlas. The
people f1ourished happily until they
grew greedy and attempted to create
an empire in the lands bordering the
Mediterranean. WHEEL their conquests
carried them as far east as Italy, they
were challenged by a Greek army. The
Greek feet pursued them back to the
island and then the earthquake struck,
destroying Greeks and Atlanteans alike.
Since Plato's time, the subject has
occupied countless writer's. A library
in Paris devoted to the literature sur
rounding Atlantis contains more than
Is, 1000 volumes
Was Atlantis really a bridge between
two worlds? LinguiStS have now dis
covered that one third of the words
in the Mayan language, spoken by the
race which lived thousands of years
ago in Central America, correspond
closely to words of the same meaning
in ancient Greek.
Did few of the Atlanteans escape
in an opposite direction to the east?
Anthropologists have found traces of
a civilization in the southern Pyrenees,
now the border between Spain and
France, which was unlike that of any
surrounding people. Their findings
point to an invasion by a strange sea-
faring people 10000 years ago. And
these people were invariably buried
with their faces pointing west, perhaps
toward Atlantis, their ruined home.
Biologists also have contributed re-
markable evidence. In 1898 a cable
laying vessel, looking for broken cable

Defends New York Parks

If it were not for the opening SEN
tence of his letter comparing New
York's parks with WaShingtons parks
(Star, August ID, would swear that
j. A. Lewis had never been to New
York. I wonder how long he lived in
New York City.
Did he ever visit Central Park? The
many baseball games were not played
on highways the last time was in
Central Park; nor did the Central
Park sailors" take the girls boatriding
on speedwayS. There is zoo in Gen.
tral Park, also grass and trees; and
there are other attractions in this very
large park. And then there is Bronx
Park-and the world-famous Bronx
Zoo which is at least as we'll known
as the National Geological Park. Pros
pect Park in Brooklyn is neither a
skating rink nor speedway, and they
tell me there is more than one tree in
Brooklyn. Il lived in Queens and
rooted for the Giants so am not sure
of thisD
I am not a New Yorker-I was a
displaced Virginian for some 10 years
but 1 visited New York's parks few
times during my stay in New York City
and adjoining Nassau County. I also
used New York's world famous parkway
system for daily committing from VAL
ley Stream to LaGuardia Airport. Dur
ing rush hours I could cover the II
miles in a car in 80 to 35 minutes and
still stay within few miles of the
posted speed limit of 35 m.p.h. Com
muting from Falls Church to Northwest
Washington, distance of 10 miles, also
requires 80 to 35 minutes and, in addi-
ton, presents many more hazards.
None of the above is intended to be
defense of Park Commissioner Moses
of New York; nor do I claim that New
York City has a perfect highway and
park system. It is only fair, however, to
try to place Mr.. Lewis exaggerated
statements in proper perspective. 1t
is true that much of lower Manhattan
has no parks except for few small,
shaded places with benches and Keep
Off the Grass signs. But let's remem-
ber that lower Manhattan was busy
city years before the French planner
drew the first line on his plans for
Washington.

The blouse, of white, probably main
sock; had a drawString at the bottom.
Jones recalls that he and all his
small comrades of the grade school
wore such blouSes, over which coat
could be worn.
The draw string made a tight bot
. tom, in which variety of articles could
be stored, from books to small alliga-
tors
Today's boy, the very image of his
old man, wears long trousers, shirt with
tail; he would suffer humiliation if
caught with a blouse, if such could
still be bought. 1t probably can't.
The bare-headed fashion for boys
had not caught on then. Mothers
would cry out that their darlings would
catch their death of cold, if they so
much as limited they wanted to go
without a cap in June, even.

The years go by and fashions change
Even the male undergarmentS change
their names and appearances. And
the man who is welded, as the saying
has it, to an old-faShioned suit will
have to look long and hard before he
finds it. But men are stubborn beasts,
as every wife knows; if they like some
thing. they are loyal to it. That is
why Templeton Jones says to all men
of his day and age, if they want to
wear that famous old brand. it can
still be done, but it is almost like
buying something Illicit.
