our dear one called away,
But he was just beautiful bud for
our Masters bouquet.
Dear God called you away Son,
which seems so hard to bear,
With you gone far away,
But God knows within our lives
which way to do is best.
So all we can say Thy will be done,
Then let God have his own way;
Then the rest of us can only pray.
Dear God, care for our boy till
we meet some day.

And that you are so far away,
We can only think of what a nice

brought gifts for the President.
Disappointed they couldn't
see the President when they
visited the White House early
this morning. the children
cheered up some when a White
House aide appeared at the
last minute to accept the gifts
on behalf of the Chief Execu-
tive. The President couldn't
work the visit into his sched-

Plans are nearing completion
for transformation into a pleas
ing recreation area of a ravine
lying between Foxhall road and
Macarthur boulevard NV, now
overgrown with brush and
marked by dead trees.
The site involved is 61a acres.
OF this, 5la acres is now owned
by the District Government, and
the Hardy Elementary School is
there. An additional acre would
be acquired.
The proposed transformation
of the area would be be under
taken as an urban renewal pro-
ject. This would affect the whole
.1412 acre area lying in a triangle
bounded by Foxhall road, Mac
Arthur Boulevard and @ street
NV. The 612 acres are at the
base of the triangle on @ street.
But no purchase of homes or
relocation Of families would be
involved.
Officials say this would be the
first urban renewal demonstra-
ton in this field. They added
that an unsightly area would be
turned into a community asset
with little outlay of money and
minimum of red tape. Real
estate values would tend to be
stabilized. Success here would
point the way to similar develop
ments throughout the city.
Planners Cooperate
The program represents q CO.

area by agencies of the District
Government and the National
Capital Planning Commission.
