low Beach drive and the creek
on the shortest route through
the park.
Began With Sewage Spill
In 1852. one of the Districts
trunk sanitary sewers spilled raw
sewage into picnic areas north Of
Military road. While the sewer
work was being done, park Of.
f1cials launched a tWo-year re-
construction job on that stretch
OF Beach drive. Since. it has been
remaking other road sections.
MOP is asking Congress in the
current budget for $4,000 to
rebuild the final Bingham Kali
mia stretch Of Beach drive, and
work probably will start on 1t
next fall.
In the same budget. the park
people are seeking money to
build bridges-which will wipe
out another motoring Illustration
over Rock Greek at three
points: At the foot of Blasden
avenue NV. where motorists
now have to cope with an often
flooded ford; at Milkhouse Ford
further north. now served by q
timber bridge, and at
Kalmia road.
None Of the bridge work, now
being designed. will require
Beach drive to be closed at any
point. But the road improve
ment scheduled this fall between
Bingham and Kalmia will shut
off traffic in that stretch for
several months.
The Beach drive section
opened this month means that
ON a lucky day--a motorist
can follow the Rock Creek and
Potomac parkway and Beach
drive all the way from the Lin
coin Memorial to Maryland. an
especially popular drive during
summer months.
1t has to be a lucky day.
though, for the motorist to get
through the two pesky Rock
Creek fords at the north and
south of the zoo. The slightest
flash rain usually is enough to
force zoo police to haul out the
ford barriers. and route dis
gruntled motorist back TO city
streets.
Traffic Figures Cited
To show what these two fords
really do 10 park trafic, Zoo
police provided some figures.
OF the 365 days in 1855.
Both the Zoo fords were closed
all day on l22 days.
Both were closed for part Of
the day on 81 days.
Sixty-eight of the closed days
occurred during December, jan
uary and February.
MOP officials said studies are
under way now on new route
to bypass the southern Zoo ford
near the Calvert Street Bridge.
The plan is to bridge the creek
below the ford and extend a new
roadway along the eastern edge
Of the Zoo.
Congress actually gave Federal
park officials money for Chis
project two years ago, to the de-
light Of the District Highway De-
partment and good segment Of
the motoring public. But the
bridge was never built. National
Park Director Conrad L. With
said cost estimates exceeded the
amount on hand and so-instead
Of seeking more money--he APP
piled the money 10 other park
improvements.
Park officials wouldn't hazard
4 guess on when the new bridge
plans will be finished, and no
funds are being sought for the
next fiscal year.
So 1t appears that for a few
more years, at least. motorists
approaching the Zoo from either
tide will continue to find Ford
Closed" signs, and YEARLY turn
lway.

Local Collector Looks For Early College Token

It. Harold Ford, with the Ladd AFB finance office since March, has an unusual hobby: he collects transportation tokens.
 He is currently in search of token that is considered very rare. the token of the early College bus lines that linked the University with Fairbanks from 1881 to 1886 There were two tokens issued he says, one for 12112c and one for 25c
 The only man known to own both of them is Ford's friend, Roland Atwood, the first enthusiast to fol- low the hobby.
 Ford isn't sure exactly how many of each type were issued, although he knows several people who own one of the two
 He is afraid that. since the to- kens were made of aluminium, the many drives for that metal during the war may have claimed a good number of them.
 The most ancient token Ford owns is one from an omnibus that operated in Boston in 1887 He ex- plains that the omnibus" was ac- tua1ly a glerified stage coach, con- sisting of passenger car drawn by horses.
 This token is one of 5000 listed in the catalogue. But Ford, who has about 4.000 tokens, says that there IS no such thing as per feet collection since there may be only one or two examples remain ing of several specific issues, and they may be owned by several diff ferent people
 Ford has tokens made of plastic. paper. and almost every type of metal. He says that about 10 new ones, never before listed in the token catalogue, are found each year.
 He is associate editor of 'aThe Fare Box the publication that serves over 200 followers Of the hobby
 Although Ford is looking for an early college token. he has later issue of the University Bus lines put out in 1886 Made of brass. they were stamped in 1212c and 15c de- nominations.
 He states that he dosen't think his hobby is particularly unsual. since he has known people who collect almost everything. Every

Here are some dos and don'ts"
that should help anyone who is
trying to lose weight: =
Don't use cooking methods that
call for added fats or oils; broil-
ing, boiling, poaching, baking, and
roasting are all suitable methods.
Do flavor your foods with
spices, herbs, condiments, and
non-calorie sweeteners; these will
make small amounts of low-cal-
orie foods more appealing. z
Don't use high-calorie dressings
and sauces; lemon juice or vine
gar alone or with spices, can be
used as a salad dressing.
DO make use of special foods,
such as: ron-calorie sweeteners,
skim milk, cottage cheese, butter
milk, non-fat dry milk solids,
low-calorie dressings and desserts.
Don't wait until tomorrow
start to control your eating to-
