PARK IS VARIED SCENE AS SUN SINKS IN WEST All Types Meet With Each Engrossed by Own Problems. BY ARCH STEIKEL It's evening. Night’s curtains unfold in the east. Day locks its door In the west. Summer's fat sweaty fingers have poked rooming-house dwellers into University place park. They sit on benches nibbling peanuts. feeding the kernels tp the pigeons, talking, looking, stretching. “Ding! Dong! Dong! Done! Dong! Dong! Ding! Ding!” gh the staircase notes of the Second Presbyterian church at the corner of the World war memorial. A boy in a blue wash-suit feeds a flock of pigeons on the wide northeast park walk. He tires of the feeding. The blue-black birds Bre gourmands. He swoops into them with his arms wide open to catch them. He misses. He tries again, tries, to catch something. Tries to Ca.ch Them In the offing, is the bronze statue of "Pro Patria” at the War Memorial building with its youth wreathed in a flag and an arm upraised, reaching out to the sky, •teaching out to “catch something." An old man sits near the pigeoncatching boy. He is so old his wingcollar is grimy, his hat-band stained with last year's perspiration. His deep-set eyes gaze fixedly on passersby. Fixed mostly on women are those eyes trying to “catch something.” “Jobs aren’t easy to get now,” opens the conversation of a blustery man opposite the old one, to' a companion on the bench. “You can’t somehow grab on to ’em,” he explains stretching his veined hands and then clasping them shut tightly. Wears Widow’s Weeds Near a tree-bench a weman, who blatantly by her weeds proclaims her widowed state, tries to read a book while children run wild around the fish-fountain. She’s trying to catch something, too. Romance, maybe; rest from office routine, maybe. The pigeon-catching boy is crying now. He couldn’t catch one. The old man shuffles down the walk. The jobless blusterer moves to another bench and another listener to frp'.r his tale. The widow’s book is closed and she sits as if life had quit. Darkness gropes the park. The park sitters grope out one by one. “Ding-dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Ding! Ding!” ring the church chimes.
