Woman Grocer Turns 111 Luck
Into Benefit for Hospice
The hard luck of a small gro
cery store in the 3*oo block of
Fourteenth street N.W. yesterday
; worked to the benefit of a haven
of the poor.
Mrs. Jeanne Perrone closed her
shop because of 111 health and
the fact that she couldn’t work
two jobs at once. Mrs. Perrone,
who Is employed by the Agricul
ture Department by day, tried to
run the affairs of her store by
night.
But Instead of selling out her
entire stock, she reserved a sls
able portion of it as a gift to
the Blessed Martin de Porres
Hospice, 38 I street N.E.
Stolen Bicycle 'Solved'
By Robbery Squad's Gift
A little girl who saved ud for
a year to buy a bike—only to
have It stolen last summer—has
a new one for Christmas, cour
tesy of the Robbery Squad of
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment.
Juanita Upchurch, 12, came
down to headquarters yesterday
for the presentation. She looked
fondly at the $55 bicycle she
helped the policemen pick out —
a black English racer with white
I tires.
j "It s nicer than the one I
bought myself.” she said. "This
|is a boy s bike and I like it better.
My old one was a girl s bicycle.”
Special Protection
“Nita.” who is taking no
! chances this time, is planning
to keep the bicycle in the bed
room of her home. The Robbery
| Squad men also provided her
with a substantial lock for out
door use. They have registered
the vehicle with the Youth Aid
j Division, which has set up a
'special registration system for
bikes, and they are planning to
jtake out insurance for her, too.
For about a year. Nita saved
The hospice provides food.
’ clothing, shelter and celan-up
facilities for from 40 to 100 of
1 the city’s down and out each day.
. Mrs. Perrone chose the hospice
. as her beneficiary, having heard
: of its activities broadcast recently
’ by a television show.
Her donation filled a panel
, truck and a passenger vehicle. It
’ included canned vegetables and
fruits, dried legumes and grains
. and numerous cleansing articles.
“I simply felt this was the
1 thing to do, especially at this
1 time of year,” Mrs. Perrone ex
plained.

JUANITA UPCHURCH
Has New Bike
—Star Staff Photo
$1 out of her $1.50 weekly allow
ance to buy her first bicycle.
She kept it in the downstairs
hall of the apartment house she
lived in at 904 Newark avenue
N.W.
"The day it was stolen.” she
said, “I came home excited about
something and didn’t notice the
bike was gone. I ran upstairs,
changed into my dungarees,
came down to get it, and it
wasn't there.”
She notified police, who made
a diligent search for the bike
but weren't able to find it.
Tears Reinforce Plea
One day she ran Into Detec
tive Sergt. Mark Gray, of the
Robbery Bquad, whom she
knew by sight, on a corner near
J her home. In tears, she asked
him to help her find her bike.
Although stolen bicycles are
not normally the province of
the Robbery Squad. Sergt. Gray
and his colleagues kept their eyes
open for the bike, looking in out
of-the-way alleys and other
spots where a stolen bike might
be discarded. Finally, they felt
the search was hopeless and de
cided to buy Nita a new bicycle.
So the 32 members of the
Roberry Squad played Santa
Claus to the little girl, who is
in the seventh grade at St.
Mary's School on Fifth street
between H and G streets N.W.
Nits's mother, a waitress, has
just one stipulation about the
gift: Nita must wait until
Christmas Day before she
rides it.

Clubhouse Opposed
At Zoning Hearing
In an all-day hearing yester
day, the District Board of Zon
ing Adjustment heard vigorous
protests against plans of the
Knights of Columbus Washing
ton Council Home, Inc., to build
a clubhouse at the southwest
corner of Van Ness street and
Glover Archbold parkway N.W.
The opposition, on behalf of
residents in the area, was led
by E. D. Mann, who objected
that noise from such an estab
lishment would disturb the
neighborhood. The board post
poned decision on all cases.
Earlier, plans of the Bakery-
Workers’ Union to build a $3
million national headquarters on
the northwest corner of Six
teenth and K streets N.W. were
backed by Edward R. Carr, presi
dent of the Washington Board'
