PIGTURES CAPITAL AS MECCA IN 1332 Bloom Sounds Call for Citi- zens to Prepare to Care for Bicentennial Visitors. Predicting that people from all cor- ners of the world will pour into Wash- ingtort next year for the George Wash- ington Bicentennial celebration, Rep- resentative Sol Bloom, associate direc- tor of the Bicentennial Commission, yesterday sounded a call for the Ni tional Capital to get ready to take caf of the incoming hordes. Speaking at the George Washington celebdation of the Assaciation of Oldest Inhabitants at Western Presbyterian Church, Representative Bloom explain- ed that the Bicentennial plans include the whole United States in their scope, but that all attention will be focused upon this city. “Everything will be centered upon the District of Columbia,” he declared. “This will be the mecca. The people will come to the National Capital. TheV will pour into this city from all parts of the world. You need have no fears about their coming. They will be here all right. But what are you going to do with the people when they do come here? “It is necessary that proper arrange- ments be made to take care of the peo- ple who wili arrive for the celebration We are working with your District of | Columbia commission "for observance of the Bicentennial and will offer them every co-operation. Our pageants will be for you here in the District as well as for the Nation. Visitors All Year. “But you are going to have to wake up to the fact that this will be differ- ent from anything else that has ever been held here. For the organizations will be arriving and departing through- out most of the year. One organiza- tion will come and will stay for a whole | week and will leave, and another will arrive. This city must make ready to | take care of the crowds.” ‘While Washington will be the cen- ter, Representative Bloom explained, the Bicentennial celebration essentially will be entirely different from most cele- brations, where the plan is to bring the people to the celebration. In the que of the Bicentennial, he explained, “we are taking the celebration to the | peopte.” “The George Washington Bicentennial | celebration will begin on February 22 1932, and will continue until Thank: | giving day of that year. It is spon- | sored by the United States Govern- \ ment, and every person in the United | States—every man, every woman and’ | every child—is invited to participate in this happy event. “It is our desire to have every sec- tion of the country—crossroads, ham- lets, villages, towns and cities—make | preparations for this glorious celebra- tion. George Washington, you know, belongs to all sections of the country— not to any one locality. “It is for this reason that a national exposition has not been planned. Of course, we are expecting the National Capital to set a celebration pace that will make other sections of the country hustle to keep up with. But when the oldest inhabitants get busy and arouse the enthusiasm of the youngest inhab- itants and the half-way inhabitants I am sure this will be done in a manner that will make the rest of the world sit, up and take notice. “The eyes of the world are on Wash- ington. We must not disappoint the millions of people who will visit the most beautiful of all cities during the year, 1932, “This celebration will be different | from all others in the past. To a large | extent it will be in the hearts of the people of America. The people will be given a greater opportunity than ever before in the history of our country to_ learn more about the life and achievements of this greatest of all Americans. “One of the important features of the Bicentennial Celebration will be the publication of the ‘Writings of George Washington,’ comprising some |25 or 30 volumes, printed by the Government Printing Office on high quality paper and illustrated in artistic fashion. They will be placed in all the | public and educational libraries of the land and sold to the public at actual cost. Was Prolific Writer. “It is an interesting fact that Wash- ington, with a pen made from the wing feather of a goose, wrote more letters and speeches and state papers, kept more accounts and detalled record of | his daily doings than most men of the present day are able to do with the aid of a stenographer and a typewriter. These books will be a liberal education in themselves. The irtroduction to | these precious volumes has been writ- ten by President Hoover—a deserving tribute from - the present Engineer gre*\dent to the first Engineer Presi- ent.”” The speaker declared the bicentennial would do much to get the American | people better acquainted with the charms and wonders of the National Capital. This city, he charged, was not as well known to the people as it should be. “There is nothing the matter with | the city,” he said, “but the matter | must be with the people, who have not put out the importance of the city to the country as a whole. You have a beautiful history here in the District of Columbia, but how many | people know anything about it? “You don’t need a great exposition here, an Eiffel tower, or a huge ferris SMITH BROTHERS Triple Action COUGH SYRUP THE EVENING wmel to_bring the le to Wash- ington.

An average of nearly 1,000,000 peo- ple a month come to Washington, he sald an inquiry had showed. About 2,000,000 people every year visit the Smithsonian Institution, while only 1,000,000 visit the Congressional Li- brary, only 600,000 visit the Washing- ton Monument and only 500,000 go to Mount Vernon. “Something's wrong,” he declared, when only one-fourth of the people who see the Smithsonian Institution | g0 to the greatest shrine in America at Mount Vernon. Something's wrong— but it’s not the oldest inhabitants. It may be the ‘youngest mhlbltlnu“or‘cnmmnm n- | maybe most of all the ‘half-way’ habitants.” ‘The Bicentennial associate director requested co-operation of the members of the Association of Oldest Inhabi- tants. “You must have a wealth of in- formation,” he said, “and we would like to have it. We invite suggestions We're looking for_advice.” Representative Bloom paid tribute to George Washington and declared his | | | STAR, WASHINGTON, farewell address, which was read to the membly during the services, “will live forever.” The extensive work of the Bicentennial Commission in getting out plans for every corner of the country for the Bicentennial celebration was ex- plained by the associate director. He invited members of the association to visit headquarters of the organization in_the Washington Building to see the exhibits and the work under way. Washington's farewell address was read to the assembly by Dr. George C. Havenner, president of the Pederation of Citizens’ Associations. The invocation was by Rev. Herman McKay, pastor of Union Methodist Episcupnl Church. Fred East and Wil- liam F. Raymond, accompanied by Bob Thomas, sang patriotic songs. John Clagett Proctor, viée president, who presided, read a poem, “When Wmsh-| ington Crossed the Delaware.” The patriotic exercises were preceded by a business meeting. J. Eliot Wright, treasurer of the assoclation, was “co mended for the clearness and accuracy of his accounts” by Walter Ellwood | Allen, chairman of the auditing com- mittee, in his gnnual report. D. C.
