by it. Although your revolution
in America took place long ago
and the conditions were different
here. you will appreciate the
revolutionary spirit which we
have inherited and which still
governs our activities. Having
attained political freedom, we
are earnestly DESTROYS of remov-
ing the many ills that our coun-
try suffers from, of eliminating
poverty and raising the stand
ards of our people, and giving
them full and equal opportunities
of growth and advancement.
India is supposed to be given to
contemplation. and the American
people have shown by their his
tory that they possess great en-
ergy, dynamism and the passion
to march ahead. Something of
that contemplative spirit still re-
mains in India. But. at the same
time. the new India of today has
also developed a certain dynam-
ism and a passionate desire to
raise the standards of her people.
But. with that desire is blended
the wish to adhere to the moral
and spiritual aspects of life.
Purposive Planning
We are now engaged in a gil
Igantic and exciting task of
achieving rapid and large-scale
economic development of our
country. Such development, in
an ancient and under developed
country such as India, is only
possible with purposive PLAN
ming. True to our democratic
principles and traditions, we seek
in free discussion and consulta-
ton as well as in implementa-
ton the enthusiasm and the
willing and active cooperation
of our people. We completed our
first five-year plan eight months
ago, and now we have begun on

FRIENDS,
am emboldened to address
you in this intimate fashion be-
cause of the friendship and hos
pitality which you. the citizens
Of the United States, have
showered upon me. I have come
to your great country on a brief
visit at the gracious invitation
OF your President, whose hu-
manity and whose distinguished
and devoted services to the cause
OF peace have won for him a
unique place among the states
men Of the world. I am happy
to be here and my only regret
is that I can only stay few
days and have no opportunity of
meeting many of you personally.
Five years ago. a professor of
an American university visited
me in Delhi and gave me a gift
which I have treasured greatly.

PLANNING
Plaster
Repairs?

Here are a few dos and
dontS" TO keep in mind when
repairing damaged plaster.
DO use a commercially pre-
pared patching plaster which is
mixed with water to form a
smooth paste.
DO mix only as much as you
intend to use Immediately, since
it sets fairly quickly.
DO wet surface cracks and
small holes with clean water,
then apply the patching plaster
with. a putty knife or your fingers
and smooth down the patch with
a wet cloth or sponge.
DO, with larger breaks. remove
all loose pieces of plaster. under
cut the edges so that they are
wider at the bottom than the top,
wet down thoroughly and. finally,
apply the patching material.
DO fill these larger breaks TO
within one-eighth of an inch
from the surrounding surface,
allow to harden, wet down and
apply more patching plaster to
bring to the desired level.
DON'T make the plaster mix

Government will develop the Co.
acre Jones Point tract at the
mouth of Hunting Creek into a
park.
The annexation of rs square
miles of Fairfax County territory
in 1852 threw a big burden on
the city recreation department.
Residents of the area have clam
ored for more facilities.
I'VE had a hard time keeping
up with the needs of the old part
of the CITY," Mr.. Zones said. IF
we can get some of our existing
areas developed, then we car
begin a systematic program in
the new area"
A bond issue approved by City
Council will benefit the annexed
area considerably. A sum of
100000 is set up for park and
playground acquisition in the
new area. 1t provides $4,000 for
new buildings, playfield improve
ment and park improvement
throughout the city.
A total of $250,000 is avail
able for a city auditorium gym
naSium from a previous bond
issue, but officials estimate it
will take nearly 100000 more
ito construct the building.
Full Time Workers
Eight professional people. in
GLIDING the director. are on the
recreation department staff.
There are Il other full-time
workers, including secretaries
and custodians. and II part
time workers. About 40 addi-
tional people are hired during
The summer months.
Besides the regular playground
activities, the department spon-

leagues, has swimming and life
saving classes, shows movies at
Fairgrounds. teaches crafts,
sponsors two singing groups and
a teen-age club and holds dances.
Mr.. Willard said the proposed
1867 budget will permit the
ito better provide
the same type of program con-
Quoted last year" but it will
be unable to expand its much
needed program into the west
ern annexed section and will
be able to continue only the
token services which are now
provided in this area"
Mr.. Zones said the department
has about the same number of
personnel it had in l947. We're
doing the best We can with what
we have. We need more money
but the city can't afford it,
he said.

PIoy Program Extensive
On Limited Budget

An attendance of more than
100000 was recorded at Alex
andria Recreation Department
programs last year.
The program has expanded
greatly since it was begun in
1914, but the city still falls be-
low minimum standards set by
the National Recreation AsSoci-
alton, officials say.
A 1867 budget of $156.037
for the Recreation Department
has been recommended by City
Manager Ira F. Willard. But he
said this will fall far short of
providing enough for an adequate
program. Last year the budget
was $4,000.
Lee Zones, recreation director,
said city the size of Alexandria
(about 100000 should have an
annual budget of at least $780,
600. He asked for nearly SITS
600 for 1867 but the request
was cut by Mr.. Willard.
More Areas Needed
A city government survey in
1854 said the city lis woefully
lacking in both indoor and out
door recreation areas" Among
other criticisms were poorly
located Fairgrounds and parks.
lack of clubhouse facilities at
Fairgrounds. failure to provide
plavgrourds in new subdivisions
lack of a large park to serve a
major portion Of the city and
lack of sufficient personnel in
the recreation department
Despite the lack Of facilities
and adequate funds. the city
provides an extensive program.
Seventeen Fairgrounds. gener-
ally located on school grounds.
were operated last summer-14
for white participants and three
for colored.
The city operates two SWIM
ming pools. one for the white
population and one for Negroes.
The pool for Negroes was opened
in 1851. The white pool was
opened in 1925 and renovated
in 1854.
Two large playfeldS. with base
ball and sofcbail diamonds and
playground facilities. are oper-
ated. The city owns two others.
but these are undeyeloped
The Pendleton Street Rocre-
alton Center for Negroes was ac-
qulred in 1947 and the Cameron
Street Center for white IN l948.
The two buildings provide CEN
trai headquarters for the rccre-
alton program.
Park Areas Acquired
a study by the National Recre-
alton Association, made before
the city created the recreation
department. recommended that
365 acres be acquired for four
major park sites. So far the
city has acquired a 44-acre site
on -Four Mile Run which is now
a swamp area but is expected TO
be developed when funds are
available.
Five small park areas have
been acquired but are largely
undevelopcd These are a II
acre tract near Macarthur School
on Janney's lane, 7-acre
site at old Fort Ward of
Seminary road 10 acres at Angel
Park of Duke street. Is acres
