PLANS FOR DRIVE
Directors of Chamber Will
Decide on Zoning Cam
paign Tonight.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
STAFF Cnrresnondent Of The Star

CLARENDON. Va, March 6.--The
setting of an early date for special
meeting to consider the size of the
committee which is to raise the $4,000
pledged by the organization to pay for
half of the expenses of the Zoning
Commission is to be one of the most
important matters considered tomorrow
at the bi-monthly meeting of the board
of directors of the Arlington County
Chamber of Commerce.
1t has already been suggested by the
present committee that a committee of
IS be appointed, each member to be
assigned the task of raising $780, but
since more than 81 900 has already been
pledged the president, Keith A. Brum-
back, has suggested that the money
might be more easily raised If there
were 40 members of the committee, each
to raise $500.
Members Aid Sought.
Plans already under way for quar-
terly membership meeting are expected
to be consummated at tomorrow's
meeting While the constitution of the
organization calls for a quarterly men,
bership meeting none has ever been
held, it was said, and it is planned TO
abide by the constitution in this respect
in the future. The first meeting will
probably be held early in April.
The secretary, p P. Woodbridge,
thinks that the chamber can only do
efficient work when the entire men,
bership is active and that the only
way to keep them interested is to give
them a more frequent opportunity to
become familiar with the work. The
practice of having few members
shoulder the entire responsibility is to
be stopped, he declared.
Directors Duties Assigned.
The new method under which each
member of the board is to be the di-
rector of a particular branch of the
chamber will be in shape for adoption
at this meeting. Each director has
been given an opportunity to select
the particular type of work to which
he is best adapted and will be given
an opportunity to select his own COM
mittee. Due to the fact that the cham
Der now has an executive committee
and that each of the other committees
will meet at their own discretion to
consider their particular problems it is
hoped by Woodbridge that the meetings
of the board of directors may be made
monthly and those of the executive
committee weekly.
1t is also expected at tomorrows
meeting to take up the matter of an
annual outing for members and their
families. It has been suggested that ar
rangements may be made to have the
outing take the form of week end at
some nearby mountain resort.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March &c.
Brooke Lee, speaker of the House
of Delegates of the Maryland Legis-
lature, today introduced a bill pro-
viding for the State to care for the
physically handicapped children of
Maryland.
In his bill. Maj. Lee explained
that this action is needed because of
the recurring outbreaks of infantile
paralysis and other diseases.
He said there exists no greater
menace to the welfare of Maryland
than an increasing number of its
citizens unable to sustain them
selves or to bless posterity with a
healthy progeny.
The bill provides that there will
be census taken twice each year by
the various school boards throughout
the State to ascertain the names and
addresses of physically handicapped
children. The names then would be
given to the State Board of Health.
The school boards are directed to
prepare a special education for these
children to fit and equip them to
become self-sustaining and produc-
tive. The State Board of Health is
directed to provide clinical aid,
therapeutic and hospital treatment
when needed for these children.
