Lamond Heights Citizens Vote 4-Point Program The Lamond Heights Citizens’ Association drafted a four-point program for action in 1952 at its association meeting last night. Joel P. Sharon, president, com mented on the increasing popula tion of the Lamond area and told the group that “its needs are fast outgrowing its facilities.” The association then agreed on the following four needs as the most pressing: A post office sub station. a junior high school and elementary school, a public library and more adequate bus service along Riggs road and Kansas avenue. Norman Kamerow was chosen! to represent the association at l the December 21 hearing'by the Commissioners on the plan to re organize the District government. He was advised by the group to ask that a citizens’ advisory com mittee be made a part of the new government. The meeting was held in the Masonic and Eastern Star Home, Peabody street and New Hamp shire avenue N.E.

He is Samuel W. James, 29, col ored, of the 4800 block of East Capitol street.
