On OVerdruft
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Washington was never
more wonderful than yester-
day, the last Sunday of Au-
gust.
The cold front had cleared
the skies and as all OBJ
servers Of the local scene
know a lot of soap and water
and sand blast has been used
in recent years to clean the
buildings. Some were re-
Splendent in the brilliant
sunshine.
Ordinarily I feel sorry for
summer tourists. SightSee-
ing is always rewarding. But
there are days when it is
hot, humid, sweaty, ener-
waiting work.
Not yesterday. Everyone
was enjoying the environ
ment. The amateur photog-
rapherS taking personal pic
ureS of the monuments never
had better light.
The so flags around the
obelisk were Tapping. There
were toy SailboatS in the re-
flecting pool lacking their
way against the breeze as
their owners ran along the
marge to shift the boom at
the appropriate moment.
The sky was blue with lit
tie white clouds scudding
across it. And the grass was
green. It's wonderful what
six inches of rain can do.
The most colorful area was
the Mall between the Smith
Sonian buildings. Tourists,
the men in sport shirts, often
unbelted, the women in sum-
mer prints, were crossing the
greenSward from one build
ing to another.

there were no traffic jams.
Many of us rem e m b er
when the only traffic jams
occurred on Sunday as peo-
pie drove to city homes on
narrow roads from a day in

Now we experience traffic
jams twice a day, going and
coming from work.
I'm sure there was a jam
last night at the Chesapeake

concern us. We drove from
Virginia into the Capital

ment in Southeast Washington
supported by a foundation and
sponsored by the Health and
Welfare Council Of the National
Capital Area. 1t has just COM
pleted two years.
The projects goal is helping
llow-income families develop
self-reliance and a better life
by building on stength they
already have.
Project leaders quickly
learned that the people they
hoped to help we're the best
guides to their own needs. Jobs
were basic.
So even before Mr.. Sheridan

was piling up an impressive
record on employment through
help in finding jobs and in
solving problems that were
keeping families down.

THE man is convinced now
that his service is worth at
least the union SCALE" Mr.
Sheridan said. HE has Joined
the union, and wouldn't work
flor less. Giving workers con-
fidence to demand a decent
wage once they have a little
experience is an important part
of our program.
The wages Of the workers
ranges from 81 to $3.50 an
hour. Most are unskilled, but
some employers have agreed
to on-the-job training.
Five men earn 1920 to $3.50
an hour. Two are warehouse
men for a chain grocery store,
making about $3.50 an hour
for a 40-hour week. One is a
