Operators of the Farmers
Market in Northeast Washing
ton were warned today they
would be prosecuted for Dis
trict health and building code
violations unless they produce
some cleanup proposals within
10 days.
Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Clark King gave the ultima
tum after a meeting in his
Municipal Court Office with Dis
trict health and licensing Of
ficials and the operators-J. o.
Harrison jr., and William N.
Grimes.
Mr.. Grimes represents the
trustees of the market prop
erty, which is bounded by Fifth.
Sixth, Penn, and Morse streets.
Mr.. Harrison leases the market
from the trustees and Sublets
space to individual Maryland
and Virginia farm produce
wholesalers and retailers.
The District for four years
has been trying to get the
market either cleaned up or
shut down.
Earlier this month, the Dis
ltrict Commissioners tried to
force a shutdown by use of a
District licensing regulation.
They hit a snag, however, when
they discovered the market
building itself wasn't licensed.
The snag was passed today
when Mr.. King said the law
was being violated by condi-
tions, whether 1t was licensed
or not.

"Hillbilly" Group Hit
Another group that feels the
first effects Of an economic
showdown Is the so-called hill
billy" group. These are the
people who have come to Balti-
more in large numbers from the
depressed mountain areas to
find jobs in industry. Most of
them are unskilled. Some who
finds jobs and lose them at the
first cutback in production go
back home to ride out their
unemployment in familiar sur
roundings. Many wind up on the
relief rolls here.

places in Maryland which has

are able to work but can't find
q job and have no means of

900 for aid to employable in
1861; the figure for 1860 was
1864. 900 and for 1859 1t was

THE $40S,OO0 figure was esti-
mated before we knew how
much unemployment there was
going to be-" said Miss Lazarus,
If this trend keeps UP, it's
going to be entirely too low"

IT WAS A WONDERFUL
Christmas, the White Christ
mas that Bing Crosby has
been singing about since 1942
without much effect in these
parts.
In this century Washing
ton has had nine white
ChristmaseS. The Weather
Bureau lists them as 1902,
1908, 1909, 1912, 1914, 1929,
1899, 1945 and 1860.
There were traces of snow
on two or three other Christ
mas Days, but these aren't
counted.
The heaviest snow blanket
was in 1908-5.6 inches; the
second heaviest, 1912 - So
inches.
On Sunday the bureaus
measurement of the snow on
the ground was over ! inch.
That makes it a white Christ
mas officially.
There might have been
more snow in the old days,
and sleighs and sleigh bells.
But modern living has its
compensations. On Saturday
ecening we heard Lawrence
Olivier play both Ebenezer
S.:foogs and Bob Cratchet in

tors" with a perfectly won

little crippled boy.
There was also a long-dis-
tance telephone call to a
mother in Florida, a daugh-
ter in a small city in New
York State, and one to an old
friend in Southern Maryland.
It was a wonderful Christ
mas.

In town yesterday the re-

'slushy. In suburbia it was
still beautiful in the shade
OF slopes and the north side
of houses.
It was an ideal holiday.
Sunday, the 25th, was the
holy day, the day for reli-
gious rites and contempla-
tion.
Yesterday was the secular
holiday, the day to relax and
reminisce in the vigil of re-
turn to the %orkaday world.
Although it il almost i'm
possible to revise the Chris
tian calendar at this, late
date, it would be nice to have
this arrangement every year.
It must be costly to the
churches. When Christmas
falls on Sunday there is one
less collection.
