Details Lacking
Despite the impetus this week
end behind the South Island
crossing, no details for such a
bridge have been worked out
Those advocating the island
crossing, in fact, have sharp diff :
ferences over connecting roads.
Senator Case. for example
thinks such a bridge might well
tie into E street NV. to relieve
congestion near the Lincoln
Memorial. Mr.. Peets thinks il
should hit near Constitution ave-
nue. or slightly to the north.
But at the moment, at least,
the big question is whether the
Roosevelt Association will permit
any crossing Of the island at all.
Senator Case noted that he
had proposed a South Island
bridge to the association a year
ago during a trip to New York,
and was turned down.
"The situation now, however,
Is different" he said. Then,
no bridge had been approved.
Now, If nothing is done, the
bridge will be built as a straight
extension of Constitution avenue
over the river"
The Senator said he also had
suggested to the association that
the new plan could be tied in with
foot bridges to increase thel use
and enjoyment of the island.
Mr.. Poets sketch and views also
have been sent to each member
Of the Fine Arts Commission. In
general, they reflect positions
already taken by commission
members but do not, as yet, con-
stitute commission approval.
Fine Arts officials took the
leadership in getting the Roose-
welt Association last week to in
dorse a crossing of the extreme
northern tip of Roosevelt Island
That idea fell apart, however, be-
cause of excessive costs and in
adequate traffic connections.
officials now hope the asso-
ciation will go along with the
new idea. both to preserve the
carefully-planned Lincoln Me-
mortal area and to keep the is
land from being cut off by a
straight-line Constitution avenue
span.
District highway officials,
meanwhile, have adopted a watt
and-see attitude before swing
ing into any detailed planning.
Officials said a number of plans
might be feasible using a South
Island span. at a cost near the
$24.5 million authorized for the
Constitution avenue brige.

was a healer. He never as

be indifferent to peoples phys

how he did this, but the Chris

from Jesus here. The tremend-

America and over the world is
not today all in the hands of
Christians or religious people;

What Friendship Means

To Jesus, friendship meant
something deeper than what Oft
en- goes by that name How many
people are friends" only with
the strong, the successful. How
many people will be friendly only
TO those who can give them a
lift up the ladder of ambition!
This is the friendliness of
MOSQUITO, who will stick close TO
YOU. but not with any notion Of
doing you good. Then again, a
common idea of being friendly
is to take other people without
criticism. take them as they are.
A word much in use with psychol-
ogists, psychiatrists and counsel
ors nowadays is acceptance.
Now Jesus accepted all kinds Of
persons who were by everyone
else rejected-lepers, tax collec-
tors. the lower classes" for
eigners. But while Jesus opened
his heart to these people, in the
very act Of acceptance he changed
them. Some friends are like
chameleons that take the color
of whatever they lie on. Jesus
never changed his own colors.
He was the friend Of sinners. in
deed. but by being their friend
he led them out Of their sins. To
be Christlike in friendship is to
have a goodness that is contagi-

concern Of those who select the
right fabrics for window decor.
Because OF the intrinsic char
acteristics Of many new fabrics,
they maintain their original
fresh. crisp look regardless OF
numerous washings. Certain fab
RIGS should be hand-washed
They can be damp-dried and
rehung at the windows with nc
ironing, starching or stretching
They dry soon. look as new as
when first hung.
These fabrics are available in

Ia wide variety Of fabrics avail
able by the yard. Il lacking the
time or talent for sewing. one
can select beautiful ready -made
curtains Of the fabrics to suit
any color scheme.
There are other reasons be-
sides easy care that make these
fabrics q wise choice FOR window
decor. They will not mildew,
sag or burn. Further, they stay
clean longer, since they resist
dirt and often dust can be
shaken OF or easily removed
with a vacuum cleaner.
To get the best results when
washing such curtains. treat
them as any other f1ne fabric,
following these steps:
Wash gently by hand in warm
water with lots Of suds, but do
not rub the fabric.
Rinse twice In clear water.
Roll gently In o towel to re-
move excess water.
Hang damp at the window
using curtain rod threader.
Any creases that result from
folding or washing can be re-
moved.
