The
Rambler
On Bonnie Bonks .
Of the Potomac
BY JACK JONAS

It was one of those nights
when the moon spent half its
time behind clouds and the
other half brightly shining.
The clouds were laced with
white edging by the moons
light. 8g
A couple driving through
West Potomac Park on their
way home after a late dinner
on this half-lit, half-dark
night heard the eerie notes of
a bagpipe.
"The bonnie, bonnie banks
of the Potomac?" the lady
asked. 4.
1.-THE moors," the man an
swered. Look"
Standing some distance
away, silhouetted against the
moons reflection on the river,
was a lone piper.
The man parked the car,
and the couple sat for half an
hour listening to the bagpipe
music. Then the piper
stopped unshouldered his
pipes and walked toward the
car behind them.

sistent.
Down here, I don't bother
anybody. If they don't like to
hear it, they can move on. If
they do like it, I don't mind If
they stay and listen. Glad to
have them"
Mr.. Moore is down by the
potomac piping. at least one
night a week, usually around
1890 or II o'clock. With
warmer weather, he steps up
the practice sessions to two or
three a week.
Sometimes I get quite an
audience" he said. People
who, are out just driving
around. They hear the music,
stop, back up and try to find
out where it's coming from.
Sometimes they drive on
again, but often they stay and
listen.
"A lot of times they're vet
Grams of World War II, who've
spent some of their service
time in Scotland, and the
bagpipes bring sentimental
recollections for them. :"
Mr.. Moore is a member of
the Washington Scottish Pipe
Band, and that's one of the
reasons he's here. He was
looking around for a place to
settle, and picked Washington
because of its pipe band.
He's been piping only about
three years. .
II learned from an old
Scotsman while I was living
in New England" he said. "He
got me interested in it, and
now I guess I'm as interested
as anybody"

and of premium time and a hall
pay rates for overtime hours
worked beyond 40 a week.
Mr.. Meany said workers en-
ployed by large department
stores and various chain store;
are substandard consumers be-
cause they are substandard wage
