Boys MonopoIize YWCA Study Club
BY BETTY JAMES
Star Staff Writer

Adults can't quite explain the
p h enome non at the Phyllis
w heatley study club, but
they're delighted all the same.
The ratio of boys to girls is
five to one.
In fact, by the end of the
first study club last year, all of
the girls had dwindled away
and boys had taken their place.
Leaders at the branch of the
Young Women's Christian As
ISOLATION at 901 Rhode Island
avenue NV, a United Givers
Fund agency, want both boys
and girls to take part, of
course. But they're especially
pleased that boys, more apt to
be study-shy, have responded
so dramatically.
The students attend nearby
Shaw Junior High School, but
the study club is completely
voluntary.
Two boys are back for their
second year. Both are in ninth
grade.
Its the atmosphere here"
said Roger Brown, IA. Its a
quiet place to do your home

By their own choice, students
go to study club directly from
school.

Work Proceeding
On Fencing for
Lungston Course

The National Park Service
resumed construction today of
a six-foot chain link fence
along Benning road NE. at the
Langston Golf Course.
Cornelius Heine, assistant re-
gional director of the Park
Service. had said yesterday
that the department had
halted construction of the fence
to consider citizen protests
against it.
I'VE are going ahead with
the fence as originally
planned" Mr.. Heine said today.
Factors such as the safety of
school children who use the
golf course as a short cut were
Of paramount Importance"
Mr.. Heine said, in the depart
decision to continue
with the project. He added
that any considerable change
in construction of the fence
would have been costly because
the posts already had been i'm
bedded in concrete. He said
the fence also will prevent golf
ers from using the course with
out paying the greens fee.
The River Terrace Civic As
ISOLATION and individual resi-
dents had complained that the
fence was unsightly and de-
stroyed their view. They had
asked the Park Service to hear
their complaints before COM
pleting the fence.
I'VE gave this matter very
thorough consideration" Mr..
Heine said. 1T won't block the
view because there
are no houses within a two
block area of the fence"

them right? So I went for a
walk in the comfortable Oc-

1t was Indian summer al

us in a return of warm

Winter-a touch of frost.
A haze hung in the Cam

like that for weeks.
The neighborS' chrySan-

The showpiece of our
neighborhood, a zoySia lawn
planted and painstakingly
cared for by Ellis WandlesS,
which is an emerald carpet
in the summer, was turning
tawny.
It's not the frost that's
turning it. We've had no
frost. zoysia has to have
shorter nights and longer
days and more direct rays
of sunshine. 1t thrives in
the sun.
When I returned, the late
afternoon sun was shining
through the three tall Lom-
bardi poplarS behind the
house, lighting on each leaf.
Nature seemed to be imi-
tating the French poStim-
preSsionist painters.

Alarms
AT Fire Boxes
Rute Astounding;
so Warning Devices
Will Be Installed

The District Commissioners
today ordered the installation
lof so more warning devices on
fire alarm boxes after being
told that 81 per cent of the
box alarms in fiscal 1862 were
false.
Lester H. Steinem, chairman
of the Commissioners Advisory
Council on Fire Prevention,
presented a council report call
ing the number of false alarms
here astounding" and urging
use of more "howler" de-
vices. The city now has about
10.
These devices emit a loud
Soud when a fire alarm box is
pulled. The purpose of the
sound is to attract the atten-
ton of people in the neighbour
hood so that they can identify
the person who pulled the
alarm.
In fiscal 1862, there were
4,767 alarms, of which 1,749
were false.
The report also said that the
false alarm rate here was above
the average for cities of a
comparable population. The
report said: Washington mad
81 false alarms for each 1000
population, significantly above"
the 2.3 average for cities in the
same population bracket.
The added warning devices
will be installed over a five
year period, under the Com
missioners' order.
Also approved in principle
by the Commissioners was a
proposed new fire code. At
present. District fire regula-
tons are scattered through
several different codes. There
is no separate fire regulation.
The proposed comprehensive
code was sent to the city's legal
office for review.

School Aid
For District
Under Fire
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

A proposal to include the
District in the Federal i'm
pacted" school-aid program
was questioned sharply today
by a senior House Rules Com
mittee member, Representative
Colmer, Democrat Of Missis-
sippi.
The city would receive about
IS million a year If brought
under the Federal aid program
to local school districts
crowded by children Of Gov
eminent workers and military
personnel.
A three-part national edu-
cation measure passed by the
Senate earlier this month
would revive this program for
another three years, and would
make the District eligible to
receive the funds.
At a hearing today on this
bill and another Federal school
measure. Representative Lam
drum, Democrat of Georgia,
noted that the District would
qualify for impacted funds I'M
der the legislation.
Mr.. Colmer wanted to know
why the District was included
in the Senate-pasSed bill. An
impacted aid bill reported out
by the House Education and
Labor Committee, which called
for extension of the program
for one year, did not include
the District.
Mr.. Landrum, a member of
the House Education and La
Dor Committee, said he did
not know why.
Congress, Mr.. Colmer said, is
approprlatlng more and more
Federal money every year to
the District. The city receives
an annual Federal payment as
the Governments contribution
toward the cost of municipal
government in the Nations
capital.
Representative Landrum took
the position that the impacted
aid program. along with the
Federal student loan program.
needs careful restudy and
should be extended for only
one year.
The House Rules Committee
agreed to send the Federal
school bills to a Senate House
conference, which will attempt
to work out measures satisfac-
tory to both houses.

THE DISTRICT FORE

THE DISTRICT FORE
CASTER agreed he hadn't
seen anything like it either.
Our last rain," he said,
was on September 90. 1t
was a good rain, about 2
inches. We were lucky. 1t
only fell in this area"
Just think, almost a month
without rain and none in
sight. The topsoil seems to
have retained moisture. The
lawns are not burning as they
would in summer. The slant
ing rays of the October sun
donx take water out of the
soil like the more direct rays
of June.
There is some rain in
Washington and Oregon" the
forecaster said. But it is all
on the other side of the Cas-
cade Mountains, the Sierra
Nevadas.
otherwise the country is
dry and warm. 1t was 80 in
Chicago today wednesday,,
an all-time record. There has
been little of the normal
northwest TO southeast move
ment of air because of a
high-presSure ridge from the
Northeastern States to Ala
bama. 1t has deteriorated at
times but has built right up
again. The barometer today
was 1923 inches. That's high.
I don't believe we've ever
had it as high as 81 inches.
Our normal is 1894.
There will be rain in
Florida where Ginny, which
is no longer a hurricane but
still a violent storm, turned

The

Cont Get
Over This Weather
By GEORGE KENNEDY

In Homer's day 1t was be-
lieved that the halcyon,
which we identify as the
kingfisher, would nest during
the winter on the Aegean Sea
and Zeus, who was very fond
of the bird, would calm the
waves. Hence, halcyon days.
That's what we're having
right now. I've never known
anything like it.
A butterfly lazily lighted
on a Towering shrub in the
garden this morning as If it
were midsummer.
The mockies and the cat
birds and the jays we're hav-
ing a time of it singing and
hewing and making a rack
ct as If they felt smarter
than the migratory thrushes
and flickers who left more
than two weeks ago.
Some of the trees around
here are still green; most of
them have changed color
the wild cherries and the
Usage orange with the big
seedballs have turned yellow.
My neighbours pears are
golden, hanging amid red
and russell leaves. The mi
mosas are weighted with
golden leaves.
But few of the trees have
lost their leaves. There has
been no wind, nor rain, nor
frost to nip them.
When I called the Weather
Bureau, the operator wanted
to know if it was about the
hurricane. Many residents of
the area had been asking
should they go to Florida to
protect their property there.
