Connaughton Attacks
Works Plan as Burden

The Columbia Heights Citi-
zens' Association last night
heard John H. Connaughton,
past president Of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations, charge
that the proposed $306 million
public works program would put
an unequitable burden on Dis
trict residents.
Had Congress lived up to It's
District budget commitments in
past years. he said. there actu-
ally would be a surplus of tex
money on hand for a works pro-
gram.
"They act like it is our cap
ital and not the capital of the
United States" he declared.
The group voted against the
program after agreeing that the
Government should pay a larger
share.
The meeting was conducted
by Mrs. Ernest w. Howard, vice
president, in the Christian
Church, 1435 Park road NV.

years ago." he says. Actually.
his only teacher has been q
woodcarving book.
His first attempts at cary
ing were larger and based, for
the most part, on medieval
personages, such as testers
and other court figures. He
has taken prizes in several
local exhibitions, including
"firsts" both times he entered
the Golden Age Hobby Shows
in the Commerce Department
Auditorium, winning over
more than 1000 other entries.

memories of dusty horses gal
Looping over plain and mesa
after Pancho Villas band.
That was in 1916 during the
United States punitive expe-
dition into Northern Mexico,
when MIR. Eggers was a SER
geant in the 11th Cavalry
Regiment. Later, he was Gen.
John ]. PerShing's steward at
Fort Bliss, Tex.
Mr.. EggerS left the cavalry
after World War I to satisfy
a wanderlust. He travelled
from coast to coast, working at
a variety of jobs from tilling
the soil to being a trouble
shooter in a shipyard in World
War II. Since coming to the
home seven years ago, he's
spent three summers in Eu-
rope, visiting a sister in Berlin
and freQuenting the German
furniture shops to pick up
knowledge about ornamental
handcalving Of chairs and
tables.
But it's those little things
in life he likes best, those
entertainers under the Big
Top he has been carving since
a friend, interested in circus
models, urged him to try his
hand a year-and-a-half ago.
Circus magazines, memory
and imagination are the
guides for his work. He has
created hundreds Of figures,
adding a myriad of colors with
a paint brush and sparkle
with SeQuinS and gold dust.

WEAR ROUND, you can see
i the Big Top on a table,
top.
Just step into the old SOL
dier's shop. You'll see lum-
bering elephants, led by
mahouts and with pretty girls
perched gracefully on their
heads. The clowns, the aero
bats, the flag-carrying cow
boys, the marching band, the
elegant ladies in carriages, the
ring-master-they're all there.
This pageantry on a table
once was a conglomeration of
wooden blocks. The tiny fig
ures emerged under the skilled
carving hand of a 70-year-old
former cavalryman who, look
ing back on a career Spiced by
travel and adventure, reflects:
TITS the little things in life
that are beautiful and in
spiring."
George c. Eggers ought to
know. Most of his circus
characters couldn't peer over
the top Of a matchstick. He
has a drawerful Of carving
instruments in the Soldiers
Home Hobby Shop, each mi
mute figure having individu-
ality and requiring a varied
assortment of knives to make.
Not a detail is overlooked.
The muscles in the high
stepping horses ripple, the ele-
phant tusks are splinter per-
fection, the baggy clowns
clothes wrinkle in just the
right places, the musicians
hold their instruments in Just
the right poSitionS-each
carved from a single piece of
wood.
II make sure my figures
have character" Mr.. Eggers
explains, holding up a circus
performer about ~ inches
tall. With a magnifying glass
and a high-powered light, he
whittles out the pea-sized
face, with just enough facial
surgery to show the contour
of the mouth, chin. nose, lips
and eyes. Even the fingers
are delicately formed.
Mr.. Eggers' near-perfection

fact that he considers him

Jose Felix de Lequerica, &C

he said, another form Of re-

sion must meet people and

lieves, and for that reason it
is a tremendous mistake to
limit himself to one clique.
Snooty ambassadors, take
note!
But he denies that he has
ever used the dinner party to
accomplish serious business.
Beautiful friendships may have
blossomed at the table Of an
adept hostess, "but I do not
like to spoil dinner parties with
serious matters" says Ambas-
sador de Lequerica, who thinks
good food, good company and
good conversation one of the
joys Of civilized living. For
him the ideal party is q dinner
