The
Rambler
Wintry Wonderings
In q Gracious Past
By JACK JONAS

A stroll through the Bish-
ops Garden at Washington
Cathedral, even in chilling
wind, Is an adventure into the
gracious past,
Artistry, symbolism and
tradition combine here as it
does throughout the 60-acre
Close to provide beauty and
serenity.
Each stone and shrub and
tree and herb is part of a
meticulous design. But the
careful planning is lost to the
casual view, and all that is
evident is the final effect.
A Norman arch, one of two,
stands at the entrance to the
garden. The feeling is strong
that it will be as indestructi-
BILE for the next eight centu-
ries as it has been for the past
eight.
Inside, the walks wind
through the gardens many
sections. Technically, it might
be termed a formal garden,
with it's box and yews. But the
informality of the surprises
that appear around each turn
bellies the term.

The General Services Admin
Iistration already is out beating
the bushes for volunteers who, In
an emergency, would be assigned
to guard about 300 warehouses
and other storage sites for the
stockpiled items.
I'VE don't have the money to
guard the stuff" said Baron
II. Shacklette, GSA security di-
rector. That would be horribly
expensive. Well have to have
volunteers"
The stockpiles are all around
the country. They include 7e
categories. from platinum al
West Point and diamonds in
bank vaults. to ore camoufiaged
as railroad trackbed and mounds
of metal masked by Junk.
GSA quietly began recruiting
unpaid guards for emergencies
last May.
We've got about so sewed ur

Within six months we should
have a substantial organization. .
The obvious pools of prospec-
tive sentinels are in the COM
munities at or near the stockpile
sites. Veterans organizations
are a likely place. So are groups
of employees in the warehouses
themselves.
Every applicant would have to
be screened carefully. Mr.. Shack
lette said that If H-bomb day
ever comes, trained and hardened

Cold Delays
.PurkwuyJob

National Capital Parks engi-
lneers said today that roadwork
Ion the Rock Creek parkway
which has closed approaches
from the parkway to the White
hurst freeway will be finished
some time next month.
They said cold weather has
slowed the work, which is mainly
Iresurfacing and raising the
height of shoulders. Work be-
gan late last week.
| Although the loops between
parkway and freeway are not
actually being worked on, motor
lists are forbidden to use them.
Engineers today explained that
the reason for this Is the dam
Igerous clash" Of traff1c between
Virginia-boun cars coming north
from the Lincoln Memorial and
cars attempting to get onto the
parkway from Virginia avenue.
The Virginia hound cars hug
the right lane in order to make
1.-THE right turn, just past Vir-
Iginia avenue, into the freeway
loop. This makes it difficult for
other cars to swing into the
parkway from Virginia avenue.
Now that the roadwork has
reduced the number Of lanes
lin the parkway from four to
Ithree-during rush hours-and
two the rest Of the time, the en-
Igineers want to avoid this clash
Iby diverting freeway-bound cars
north on Twenty-sixth street to
TX street and along X to the
Ifreeway.
To complaints that signs
warning Of the situation are too
few and too small along the
parkway and on Virginia avenue,
the engineers said they would
consider using larger signs and
placing them farther back from
'Twenty-sixth street.

POWDERY SNOW, left over
from the week end, clings to
ruts worn in the flagstone
walks. The ruts were worn by
the wheels of numberless car
riages when these stones were
a part of the streets of Alex
andria - ours, not Egypt's.
Framing the walks are bat
tered curbs cut by slaves for
the streets of the same city.
A baptismal font, dating
from the time of Charlemagne,
stands in one circular section
and here again symbolism,
tradition and artistry are EVIL
dent. Herbs, symbols of the
good in life, are planted ar
tisticalIy around the tradition
al outdoor font. The pungency
of thyme and sage is brought
up by the wind.
A rose garden, recently re-
arranged and with drying
petals still clinging to the
bushes, is set of by an an
cient wayside Cross.
Box and holly from Mary
land and Virginia line the
walks. There is a heavy horse
stone used by George Wash
ington. A bronze sundial from
Scotland sits atop capital
of the 18th Century.
The second Norman arch
q larger one of the type used
for the entrance of carriage
and horses-leads into a small
stone court. A cedar of Leb-
anon shows off its Oriental
texture beside the arch. Not
far away is a honey locust, of
the kind from which the
thorns placed on Christ's head
are said to have been taken.
In the shadow house, visi-
tors stand on stones from the
floor of Nellie Gusts girlhood
home in Abingdon, and catch
a magnificent view of the
Cathedral above the gardens
yews, framed in one of the
windows.
There is a garden of MEM
DRY, where ANIMALS given in
memory of loved ones, are set.
And there is the traditional
bishops pool. Small fish swim
beneath the thin ice on the
surface, and a constant trickle
of water pours down a facing
of rocks into the pool. The
pool is shaped like a Greek
cross. Nearby, at one side of
the pool, a plank atop a low
rock wall provides a resting
place for meditation.

Stepping through the Dutch
doors of the stone cottage,
close by the Bishops Garden,
is stepping into the past again.
Here the work of the hand is
considered as important as
it is in the greater work OF

Christmas decorations, home

herbs are bottled by hand, and
are hand labeled. Herbs,
spices, jellies, mustards and
other condiments can be pur-
