They were en route from St Petersburg. Fla. to their home in Montreal, Canada. We want to congratulate our Crabtree-lron Duff basketball team on their splendid playing this seas What i- Greenwich Village? Fur one thing it i> the plate where the recent ly-niurdered Maxwell Bod enheini. unkempt poet of the roar ing 1920's lived for years. Some on. We are proud that they were able to hold their own so success ful with the outstanding teams in their playing area, and of course we hope this success will carry on through the tournament. one has aptly said that Greenwich Village is neither green nor vil lage. In order to see how the place has changed since my coming here, I went down there again and took a look around The Village is lo cated on Manhattan's West Side from about 14th Street Southward to 1st Street, an area roughly a mile square. Thirty years ago it was a rip-snorting, Prohibition-vio lating community of screwball art ists and writers who had not made ? j the grade elsewhere and who eome here to live out their odd lives a mong kindred souls Some (treat figures have lived there hut J usually not for. long. I found the same old streets and many of the same buildings, but the faees and prires have (hanged much as they have esle where. The Village really be gan 50 years ago when (Ireen wieh House was set up on Jones Street, but the plaee did not eome into its eerie own until af ter World War I. By 1H21 it had become a section of long-haired men and short-haired women, about whom the good inhabit ants?of whieh there were some and still are today?complain ed bitterlv. There were artists | who starved in attics ? but most of them were more starv ing than artists. Then came high er prices, and jnost of the screw balls fled to the Bowery or out of town. In my walk. I found the unique old building which is adjoined by five streets: the set of stables which have been made into swanky apartments: the same old buildings on Bethune Street where people live below (tie sidewalk-- and pass ing trucks shake the plaster off the walls the paintings hung on the nearby fences for potential customers who are usuailv from out of town and are brought here in groups by guides: the famous ; j Washington Market where it seems j to me the prettiest fruits and vegetables in the world are sold: and the famous arch in Washing ton Square which was designed by Stanford White, the famous archi tect who was shot to death by ! wealthy Harry K. Shaw a hajf i century ago, over Thaw's wife. Coming into Washington Square. I was now in the best and most historic part of Green wich Villaee. Here New York University is spreading with new buildings each vgar. and bids fair tn some dav become the world's finest institution of higher learning beine already the biggest with about 45.000 stu dents. Here Henry .lames was born and wrote his novel "Wash ington Souare" which has be come a classic of the manners of our country in the Gilded Age. Across the souare. I paused in front of the famous old Pro vlncetown Thejter. still lust like it was when the first plays of Eugene O'Neill were here pre sented. the man who is ac claimed as our greatest drama tist. His name brought to mind other literary lights who tarried just long enough in the Village to absorb some color which lat er they infused into their works They include Sinclair lewis, Eva l.r Gallienne. Edna St. Vin cent Millav, Nina Wilcox Put nam. Upton Sinclair. Theodore Dreiser and Willa Cather. l,ong before, around this neighbor hood had staved Thomas Paine, Fdrar Allan Poe. Mark Twain and Richard Harding Davis. A* I loft the snuare and made mv wav tin lower 3th Avrnur into Manhattan's tower-clustered mid section. the feeling came that Greenwich Village is almost gone And most of it should be gone It is a relic of remembrances which belopg to another and older area Ms P.odenhelms and Tramn poets, its Harry Kemps and Harvard men who sold ukeleles made of clear boxes. Its fantastic fringe of vould-be artists and literati be long more to our colorful past than thov do our good present and better future We will alwavs re member. however, because we will not be allowed to forget, the great rwyiple who onA' sojourned for a tithe fn this nieturesffnc part of Mew York Citv Thetr work will live on when the name of Green Bridge Wins, Motorists Lose PASADENA. Calif (AP> ? Two houses and a bridge met on San Gabriel boulevard. The bridge won, but it was the motorists who lost. The house movers with the house behind their trucks drove into a new underpass. The houses were too tali. For three noisy hours, the high way patrol, police, the movers and stalled motorists worked to turn them around When they succeed ed. blocks-long lines of cars fin ally began moving. wich Village is only a dim remind er of a place which existed mostly , in people's minds. Every town has in a was its Greenwich \ illage with its odd people. The one here jtist has more of them who at times make themselves better known. Laundering, Dry Cleaning Is Both Science And Art By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent Laundering and dry cleaning is a science and an art Are we satis lied with the way our clothes arc returned to us front our laundries and dry cleaners? Good grooming is directly re-' lated to knowledge and skill of laundering and dry cleaning.

It's time for homeniakers to start studying more about the high cost of laundering and dry cleaning, at home and away from home. STRETCH THE FOOD DOLLAR ? Follow advertising and weekly market specials. Foods in season, plentiful and lo cally-produced, cost less. L'se low-cost foods like dried peas and beans, macaroni products and rice often. There are many combination dishes which will use one of these staple foods as the foundation. Use economical cuts and lower grades of meat. All grades of meat have essentially the same food value. Many "variety meats," such as heart and tongue, may be nutri tious penny savers.
