one of the cOunty's biggest rec
reation areas, the park, never.
theless, will not cancel out any
existing facilities inasmuch as
demand now exceeds available
ity.
Man in charge of shaping the
parks progress has been John
r. Hewitt, director of parks. AS
he fooled the jeep through the
park last week he wore a smile
of satisfaction. Not so smiling
was Frank ruby" Rubini, Hew-
tits assistant who with Sentinel
photographer Hugh Gillespie
and Tom Burke, commission
public relations man, had to
ride in the back of the Jeep.
Hewitt noted that travelling
through the park won't always
be so rugged. Smooth roads
and trails will thread the park
in a year or so. Nevertheless,
two commission policemen are
learning to ride horses for pa.
troll work.

including nature trails, artificial lakes, recreation
lodge, softbal fields, parking lots and so on.
Park acreage will cost an estimated ST 100000
and ali but about 70 acres have been acquired Cost
was held to around $500 acre in most cases but
buyers were allowed to 60 five per cent over their own
estmators suggested prices
One-fourth of the park will be reserved for active
recreation, such as baseball and tennis while the
mainder will stay in its native state with marked
trails and campstes
The proposed Northern Parkway when built will
split the park in east and west halves. At least one
road will tunnel under the parkway connection the
two halves. Primary access to the park will be from
new road off Kemp Mill rd. the parks eastern
boundary.

Al per 100 dogs as against
2.7 males per 100.
Dogs least likely to bite ap-
pear to be hounds (beagles.
dachshunds, foxhounds. etc.,,
dogs most likely to bite (box-
ers, collies, German Shep-
herds. great Danes. pointers,
settlers, retrieverS, spaniels).
It's safer not to mix young
dogs and young people. You
take a chance when you give
a dog to a child under 6. A
specially bad combination is
a 6 to II month old dog and
a / to S year old child.
When I consider these sta
tistics ! am thankful for the

watched so carefully over
Topsy and me when we were

make you grow fast. I think
you will just have to be
patient and wait. You have
8 to 10 years of growth left
in you. It's quite possible you
may turn out to be a tall
young man.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Will
you tell me If there is any
thing wrong with q child who
is growing like a weed? I have
a girl of 8 who is already as
tall as some of her friends
who are 13. Why should she
spring up so fast all at once?

DEAR ABBY
You'll Have to Prove 1t, Dear!
BY ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: I am 10.
I accepted a blind date with
q soldier who was q buddy
Of my cousins steady. This
boy is nice. He's been
through college and the air
force. I decided that I
would experiment with him
since ! would probably never
see him again. I have a good
reputation and have necked
with boys, but that's all.
Well. ! let this one go farther
than I should have. Not
seriously far, but far enough
so that I am terribly ashamed
Of myself.
I now find that ! really like
this boy and want him to
know that / don't act that
way with every other boy I go
with. / wouldn't blame him
If he thought was cheap.
But I am really not, Abby.
How can I get him to believe
and respect me? NICE"
You can tell him what you
told me, but don't blame him
II he doesn't buy 1t right
away. II You have the Op-
pOrtunity to see him again
and again earn his re-
spect, and you'll get 1t.
Actions speak louder than
words.

CathedraIDriVe
Gets S25,982

The first report of the
1960-1 sustaining fund drive
of the National Cathedral
showed an increase over the
same statement q year ago,
with $25,982 pledged by 542
persons.
Last year the initial report
had 512 persons contributing
$22, 1888.
The goal Of the campaign
this year is $4,000, or $4,000
more than the amount sought
for 1959-60.
Division chairmen submitted
their statements at a luncheon
yesterday In the YWCA, Seven
teenth and K streets NV.
C hester M. Care, general
chairman Of the drive, presided.
The largest sum reported
was by w. John Kenny of the
mems special gifts division.
He noted that Al contributions
totaled $9,400, in contrast to
81 gifts totaling $5,270 a year
ago.
Other reports were: Mrs. Will
liam A. Howard, women's spe-
cial gifts, Al contributions for
$3.50; Mrs. Michael F. Markell,
women's general, 237 for $4,582;
Admiral F. Kent Loomis, mems
general, IA for $3,663, and Mrs.
Holt Watts, cathedral staff, 40
for $2,172.
In addition, 80 letters were
received containing $616 in
gifts.
The $4,000 being sought is
only 18 per cent of the $493 900
Cathedral budget for 1901.
The remainder will be raised
Through offerings at services,
endowments and other estab-
lished income and gifts.
The budget will be spent as
follows: $158, 500 for the Cathe-
dral's local and Nationwide
ministry, including 1900 serv-
ices a year; $265 900 for main
tenance Of the Cathedral and
its gardens; $65,000 for Cathe-
dral music, and $4,000 for the
Cathedral library.
