Treasure Hunt Off for Time,
But Drills Hit Oak Layers

OAK ISLAND. Nova Scotia,
Oct. % Pl.-George ]. Greene,
a cigar-chewing Texas oil driller
has ended a fruitless four-week
treasure hunt here but vows he
will return in the spring to dig
for Captain Kids legendary
gold.
Mr.. Greene sank four holes
using diamond drills and found
platforms Of oak every 10 feet to
the 111-foot level. Then the
drills hit a cavity and went to
the 180-foot level before they
struck bottom.

According to information of ar

crete vault 1853 feet below the
surface. Parchment and par.

were brought up from that level
but flood waters prevented
earlier expeditions from reach
ing the vault.

man" Mr.. Greene said. "The

KuIorumu Citizens Use Voice
To Gain Goals in VoteIess D. 6.

One of the best vehicles Kalo-
rama residents in Northwest
Washington have to publicize
their needs and desires is their
association.
A lot of credit is due the Ka-
lorama Citizens Association for
helping to see that public utility
and government services have
kept pace with the rapidly grow
ing residential community.
The association was formed in
1919 by residents living in wide
radius from Columbia road and
Eighteenth street, who began to
see they needed civic organ
ization in voteless Washington.
Membership jumped from 100
charter members to 400 three
years later. Today, because some
people have moved and, perhaps.
because there are fewer prob
lens, there are 1876 paid mem
bers.
Among the successful requests
by the group have been construc-
tion of the Adams School, Kalo-
rama Park, the Kalorama Post
Office, the establishment of
Women's Police Bureau and vari-
Gus street and lighting improve
ments. The association also has
fought to keep commercialism
out of the neighborhood.

dent, says the group is the only
