game always settles down to-chess.
There is no game like 1t, and none that
so enforces it's great master lesson.
Even the crudest beginner realizes
that if he had waited; and done little
thinking. he need not have lost his
rook, or castle.
Another thing chess shows the be-
ginner:
That it, as most real human en-
deavors, has an almost unlimited fu-
ture.
The smallest child Tin the 9-or-10-
year group, let us say will grasp this.
and though in time he may find base
ball q sport more to his liking, he will
realize that the more you study it, and
more you know about it. and the bet
ter you can play it. Any game, any
activity. This is one of the most val
liable Of all human ideas.
When it is combined with the other
idea, that it is good to think before
one acts. it provides a whole educa-
tion in itself.
The child who learns to think bit
before he acts. and to find all human
activities opening out like flowers, the
more one investigates them. will never
make the mistake of either being too
hasty or sneering at anything.
If a child can be taught to take
his time. and to avoid sneering. he has
q headstart in life, over even the
oldest persons who suffer from the ter
rible handicap Of being haSty and
supercilious in their attitude toward
others. They never played chess.

Teaching 8-and-10-year-ol children
to play chess is a part Of the curricu-
lum of New York school, as told
recently in an article in the New York
Herald Tribune, an excellent paper.
AS their teacher explained it, the
game trains the youngsters in logical
progressive thinking and concentra-
ton.
Templeton Jones, reading this, re-
called his own childhood days. especially
in regard to the queen OF all board
games.
He was about that age when he
took up chess.
AS readers here will know. the young
Jones was not willing to merely rest
with the game.
He ransacked the Public Library for
books on chess. and saved up some of
his pocket money to buy few.
The only one that survives Of this
early foray into the book market is
a small work on "The Minor Tactics
of Chess" which, after all these years.
still remains one Of the best.
Templeton Jones always had good
judgment when it came to books.
He recalls plowing up Sixteenth street
once in a driving rain, with Public
Library book Rugged tightly to his
scrawny chest.
In those days the small boys wore
blouses, affairs with q draw string"
around the bottom.
It was possible to stuff some priced
article down into the blouse. to stand
firmly on the string, and to be held

Upqroded Area B

The most appealing aspect of the approved
proposal for redeveloping Area B in the slum-
SCARED Southwest section of the city Is the
sharp upgrading of property values envisioned
by the favored Norfolk bidder. There has been
lot of talk about upgrading the remainder of
the Southwest, all the way to the water front,
but there has been little thought given in this
connection to the limited B project, near the
Capitol grounds. 1t has been the general
assumption from the outset that the dilapidated
neighborhood just west of South Capitol street
would be rebuilt largely with low-coSt housing.
The Virginia firm, the Bush Construction
Company has come forward, however, with
bid which contemplates not only the housing
required for low-Salaried residents but a number
of eight-story, elevator-type, air-conditioned
apartment buildings as WELL This higher
rental type of construction had been considered
previously only for the second phase of the
Southwest redevelopment program-covering
general face-lifting from the Mall to Fort Nc
Nair and from South Capitol street to the
Potomac River.
Also approved by the Redevelopment Land
Agency were several proposals for commercial
reconstruction in Area B, which is bounded by
South Capitol Fourth and 1 streets and the
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks. These business
Improvements, coupled with the large apart
ment projects, hold promise of greater tax
revenues than the District had hoped to get
from the rebuilt blighted section. It was this
lure of tax return on the city's investment in
streets and other public works that had mott
vated officials in planning for an upgrading OF
residential and business properties in the next
stage of the undertaking. The bid by the
Norfolk firm offered the District more money
than any of the other bidders for the land
involved in the slum-clearance and rebuilding
project. factor which also helped to win the
agency'S official approval.
The Bush firm has promised, furthermore,
to assist the agency in rehousing displaced
tenants of the cleared area. This relocation
problem is particularly vexing one. 1t must
be solved before any residents are moved. The
contractor says he is interested in building low
cost houses outside the District and has several
sites in mind. The cooperation of the ad
joining governmental authorities will be essen
tial in any such move, of course. If this
cooperation is forthcoming and the suburban
housing can be completed in time to shelter
displaced slum dwellerS one of the headaches
Of the redevelopment planners will be eased.
