he stood, holding up the center of
the clotheslinel
The next skit showed a very un-
tidy house. The houses inhabi-
tants, Mr. and Mrs. Carl BenSch
and sons with their old, every day
clothes. Suddenly a whole lot of
people troop in, saying that their
Council group was coming over to
the Benschs! Well - that meetingl
1t was about as unorthodox as
could be, and the parliamentary
procedure was unrecogniZable as
such!
Miss Janet Balduf gave clever
monologue of girl, ignorant of
the rules of baseball, attending
big-league game.
One of the groups had a real
old-fashioned drama, complete with
sweet young heroine, slippery vii
lian, etc.
One of the scenes opened with
three men sitting on the stage in
various stages of nervous disarray,
hair tousled, neckties askew, etc.
"Three O'Clock in the Morning" is
playing in the background. Inc of
the men, Loren Sommer, gets up
and starts to pace the floor. Sud-
denly nurse (Mrs. Lyle HelWig)
enters carrying tiny baby. Loren
rushes over, and the nurse informs
him that it's girl. Il hope that's
right, Evelyn and Loren) He leaves,
soon Lyle HelWig begins to pace
the floor. Eloise again comes in,
informing him that he has a girl
also. There sirs Victor Schultz all
alone, most pathetic figure. He
was still waiting at the time, you
see. Well, it turned out that in
reality he didn't have to wait too
long, because Mrs. Vic Schultz
gave birth to little girl, too, just
the other day.
Another group showed little
girl and her mother watching a cir
Gus parade, and those men who
took the part of animals really
gave a convincing and very funny
performance.
Wilson Kirk showed colored
slides of all the places that their
group has travelled, with Bob Gill
doing the narrating. This group OBJ
viously have had a lot of good
times together, as shown by the
good fellowship and fun, along
with the educational aspects as
shown in these slides.
Now = don't you Farm Bureau
members who weren't there wish
you'd gone? The Womens' group
of the Farm Bureau should be
commended for all the work they
put into this affair, especially

mittee because most of their eve.

Mr.. Cary said both Federal

He credited television pro-

Mr.. Cary suggested that the
council inaugurate a program
to bring them into closer ties
with similar groups throughout
the Potomac River Basin.

planned. "can a basin-wide citi-

The
Rambler
For Whom Are Our
Streets Named?
By JACK JONAS

One Of the most difficult
tasks for those who delve into
history is to learn what went
on in the minds of the men
who made certain decisions
years ago.
That problem is pointed up
in the work Roland Brennan
has been doing research for
some time on the origin Of
Washington street names,
even though many Of the de-
cisions were made only about
so years ago.
Mr.. Brennan, District pro-
curement officer and a men,
Der of the Columbia Historical
Society, has been working on
his street names project in his
spare time.
He points out that the pres
ent alphabetical system for
naming streets beyond the old
Florida avenue boundary of
Washington City was adopted
in 1905.
The system selected was to
honor famous men in the Sec
ond, third and fourth alpha
bet group. Men with two-syl-
liable names were to be put in
the second alphabet, three
syllable in the third and four
syllable in the fourth. The
final part of the plan was
abandoned-and flowers and
trees used inStead-when it
was found there weren't
enough famous men with
four-syllable names to fill out
an alphabet.
But now that the names
have been there so years, Mr..
Brennan says, it is no longer
possible in some cases to learn
which famous men the Com
misSionerS had in mind.

THERE'S TROUBLE with
the very first street-Adams.
Was it John Adams, the
second President of the United
States; John Quincy Adams,
the sixth President, or Sam
uel Adams, one of the signers
of the. Declaration of indie
pendence?" Mr.. Brennan asks.
"Or does the name honor all
three?"
He has searched the records,
but has been unable to find
any mention of the first names
of the distinguished Ameri-
cans.
Mr.. Brennan has talked to
the man who typed the orig
lnal list, and that man, he
says, reports that this has
been a matterFof controversy
for years, and Is positive there
is no record anywhere of the
first names.
There is some doubt, too,
about Kearney street. This,
Mr.. Brennan says, could have
been named for either Lawr-
ence Kearny or Stephen Watts
Kearny. Lawrence Kearny was
a Navy man, commander of
the East India Squadron in
the Nations early history, the
officer charged with protect
ing Americas interests in
China.
The other was an Army gen.
eral, in charge of the Army of
the West in 1S46. He was mill
tary governor of New Mexico,
and after the Mexican War,
became civil governor of Vera
Cruz and Mexico City.
Perry street is another. This,
says Mr.. Brennan, obviously
was named for a Naval hero.
But which one? Was it Mat
thew c. Perry, who did naval
spadework in Japan. or was it
Oliver Hazard Perry, victor of
the Battle of Lake Erie during
the War of 1872? These two
officers were brothers, and the
street may have been named
for both. Their father, Chris
topher, was a Navy man, too.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-04

THERE is DOUBT also in
the third alphabet. Kennedy
street is one that gives trouble.
This, Mr.. Brennan says, could
have been named for John
Pendleton Kennedy or Joseph
Camp Griffith Kennedy. Both
had Washington connections.
John Pendleton Kennedy
took part in the Battle of Bla-
denSburg in 1914, and later
was a novelist and politician.
Joseph Camp Grifnth Ken
nedy was a statistician, active
in Census Bureau work here
more than 100 years ago, and
later a Washington real estate
dealer.
Some are easy. There's not
much question, for example,
about streets like Sheridan,
Monroe, Franklin, Bryant, Bu-
chanan and Douglas.
And Jackson street, Mr..
Brennan says. was probably
named for President Andrew
jackson, but SouthernerS
might give an argument and
say the street was named for
General "stonewall" jackson
