THE zoo already has its
visitors, and automobiles are
beginning to line the parking
areas along the drive. Three
men leaning against a wire
fence watch the ducks and
geese cavorting in the pond

calf is getting its breakfast
from its mother while a ma
jestically antlered male stands
close by.

THE HIKERS are out in
force.
A man who looks as if he
has all the time in the world
strides jauntily along, alter
nately swinging his cane and
tapping it on the roadway. His
Tyrolean hat, tweed jacket
and shorts are in the best
Alpine tradition.
Two girls, a redhead and
a blond, wearing sunglasses,
shorts, mannish jackets and
the beginnings of a sunburn,
bounce along in the other di-
rection.
Standing on a boulder in
the creek is another girl, bare
foot, with jeans rolled up,
gingerly testing the water
with her toes. Several others
are at the edge of the stream,
hopefully watching the test.
This morning the park
seems a waterfowl's paradise.
Ducks and white geese laze in
the dirt on Beach drives
shoulders, summing themselves.
A pair of ducks waddle I'M
concernedly in front of the
automobile, and a gentle tap
ping of the horn brings only
reproachful backward glanceS.
The footbridgeS, arching
over the creek, are remotely
reminiscent of Japanese gar
dens, except for the overall
clad boy on one of them
dangling a line into the
water.

buildings, its meaning clearer

A car with four children in
the back seat pulls to the side
of the road, and the young
sters crowd to one side to cape
at the tumbling water.
At the first ford, near Blag-
den avenue, an ice cream con-
tainer sits upside down on
the stream bed, resisting the
waters efforts to dislodge it.

It's q Fine Place
For Man or Duck

Taking the scenic route to
work for a change is reward
ing.
Rock Greek Park, If you're
late enough not to worry
about being a little later, is a
refuge from traffic's blaring
horns and grinding gears.
From Jones Bridge road
down to Virginia avenue,
there's enough green to keep
all the city's oculiSts happy
about the rested eyesight.
At East-West highway, this
particular morning, the traffic
light is on constant red. A
workman, just arriving to see
what's wrong, waves the mo-
toriSt through.
Just beyond the highway,
off to the left, a man is out in
his shirtsleeves, swinging a
golf club. A little farther
down, a Montgomery County
police car takes a foot patrol
man toward the faulty traffic
light to direct traffic until it's
fixed.
Here is a newly paved
stretch. The new parking lots
at right and left look like a
motorists dream. They're
empty.
The picnic tables are empty,
too, recovering from the week
end rush and waiting for an
other. An indication that the
rush will come is in the signs
which point out that reserva-
tons for the tables can be
made at the parks downtown

up, but right now she's mainly ears.
Which brings us to the subject Of
sex. Yes, Flopsy is a female jack rab-

seem. And when she hops home with
a dozen little ones, it might be inter

they feel about rabbits as pets.

The Civil Aeronautics Adj

step in big three-year program
in which $3.50 million will be
spent to increase aviation safety
and ready airports for the jet
lplaneage.
Nearly 200 sites for installa-
ton of the latest types of air
navigation and traffic control
equipment. including long-range
radar units which eventually will
blanket the Nation, were out
lined in the program.
Contracts. CAA officials said,
will be let by November, and in
stallation of some of the less
complicated equipment should
be started by late spring. These
initial contracts call for the ex-
penditure of SIS million in the
current fiscal year. Contracts
for additional equipment will be
let later.
Speed up in Program
Originally the aviation safety
program was set down as a five
year plan. In early summer, be-
cause of the increasing need for
safety improvements. the Cow
eminent decided to telescope the
plan and complete it in three
years.
Among early contracts will be
those for production of Is long

Is Psychotherapy The Answer

in which the accident occurred. He spent the
rest of the game in the lavatory.
The pSychiatriSt attempts to break through
such barriers to realistic feelings. With Sympa-
thetic understanding, he eases the burden of
excessive guilt and fear of Self-aSSertiOn. The
patient is encouraged to recognize openly and
without shame needs and thoughts he had not
dared admit. Once his feelings begin to lead to
appropriate actions and the emotional preSsuTeS
are relieved, the colon becomes less active and
the diarrhea diminishes.
PsychotherapiSts have recently begun to con-
slider working with groups Of colitiS patients. 1t
is too early to be sure, but it seems to be an
encouraging new approach. Those patients who
have learned more effective ways of dealing with
their ailment and the daily tensions of living may
offer inspiration and hope to the less fortunate.
A patients Self-conSciouSneSS and fear of en-
barraSsment are often more easily fought in a
group where everyone understands his fellows
problems.
Research Holds Hope
Can pSychotherapy cure Lucrative colitiS? 1t
is too early to say. Research goes on in all
areas to discover the ultimate cause of Lucrative
colitis. How the nervous system functions, how
the colon responds to stimulation, what the
characteristic emotional reactions may be, the
ways in which other organs react in Lucrative
colitis = all are being intensively studied. Each
bit of knowledge gained brings us closer to a
fuller understanding of the how and why of
colitiS.
Until then, rather than claim cures, the psy-
chiatriSt believes he can shorten an attack and
even teach his patients to ward off relapse AS
with every treatment, there are failures. None
theless, pSychotherapy provides an important
additional tool for relief of Lucrative COLTS.
