A mass meeting of presidents and Fepresentatives of 54 citizens' associa- tions of the District was held in the board room of the District Building last night under the auspices of the District of Columbia George Washing- ton Bicentennial Commission to dis- cuss plans for community participation in the patriotic celebration this year. Special Events Planned. Dr. George C. Havenner, executive wvice chairman of the commission. who also is president of the Federation of Citizens' Associations, presided at the session, which was devoted to a dis- cussion of the various community events planned in connection with the B\('L;n!ennml by the respective civic es. Talks were made by Edwin S. Hege of the commission, who is in charge of the housing arrangements for Bicen- tennial visitors and of the guide serv- ice; United States Marshal Edgar C. Snyder and Col. Charles I Stengle, both of the commission. Announcements were made by dele- gates from the civic bodies of various <£ommunity celebrations contempla . in addition to the major program spon sored by the District Bicentennial Com- mission. Several Band Together.

Constitution day and Thanksgiving y The commission stresses the point that the Bicentennial celebration is in- tended for every citizen, and the or- ganized civic bodies are merely endeav- oring to bring the people together in the movement, in co-operation with the Bicentennial Commission itself. Mem- bership in the civic groups is not cs- sential to participation in the cere- monies incident to the celebration, Dr. Havenner said.
