FUND FROM PWA
TO Be SPENT IN
FAIRFAX COUNTY
0cCoquan Creek to Be
Cleared of Pollution

PWA Administrator Harold L.
Ickes today allotted $780, 900 of
PWA funds to the District for i'm.
provement of waterworks and sew
age disposal systems. of which the
entire amount is to be spent in
Fairfax county and intended pri-
marily to rid the Potomac River
Of pollution below Washington.
Specifications call for the in.
stallation of new rapid sand-type
filter and new $50, 900 gallon ele-
waited storage tank at Lorton and
an extension of the sewage treat.
ment facilities and septic tank at
Occoquan.
LOAN AND GRANT
Thus, Occoquan Creek, which
drains the sewage from the re-
formatory and workhouse, will be-
come the source of Potomac River
pollution to be attacked under a
PWA loan and grant. OF the total
allotment, $165,000 is a loan and
the remaining $135,0 is an out
right grant.
The Public Works Administra-
tion already has allocated $700, 900
to construct new sewers in the
District. The use of this money is
expected to do a great deal to
clean up Rock Creek, which has
carried Washington sewage to the
river.
In addition, the Washington
Suburban Sanitary District is
planning to seek Federal loan
of about $780, 900 with which to
build disposal plant at Bladens-
burg and thus end what has been
the principal source of pollution
of the Anacostia River.
BIG "SORE SPOT"
The Anacostia has been one Of
the principal sore spots in the
program to clean UP the Potomac
and its tributaries. Refuse from
the populous towns scattered over
a considerable area on the Dis
triCt outskirts is dumped into 1t,
and then must be carried down
through the city into the Poto-
mac.

FOR $500 KIDS.
NO CH|LD'S JOB.
How WPA Workers
Garry On Big Tasks
By JOSEPH T. MOONEY

When you ring the dinner gong
for $500 hungry kids, you had bet
ter not be fooling.
The directors Of the District
WPA lunch project, under able
Mrs. Mary Steele are finding this
out. But the supervisor of the mass
feeding, Miss Sue Frick, an expert
dietitian, says the WPA people
are bearing up well.
A total of $169,975 was allotted
for the lunch project. About $685.
600 Of this goes for food costs
alone. This will see the program
through until Buster goes march
ing back to school and his regular
hot lunch in September.
NOT so SIMPLE
1t looks relatively simple, when
you stop in at the Georgetown
playground, to see 40 youngsters
sitting down with more or less
decorum to a luncheon Of sand
wicheS and milk under the shade
trees. There's considerably more
to it.
To accomplish this, As workers
in the kitchen center at 1910 Wis
consin Avenue have been working
like mad since early in the morn
ing, preparing sandwiches, cutting
up raw vegetables, checking milk
supplies.
Then six trucks roar across the
city to the So centerS with the
prepared food. Here 165 super
visors and their assistants dis.
tribute the lunches. After that,
tbe deluge.
From the Federal Surplus Com
mCdities come butter, carrots,
prunes, and cabbages- last
cut into strips and very good for
you, too, Junior.
COST IS LOW
Sandwiches contain peanut but
ter, or apple butter. or prepared
vegetables. With the milk and
fresh fruit, when available, the
entire cost per meal per child is
only three cents.
While the lunch program Is still
too recent to compile statistics, it
is safe to say a general gain in
weight and health is registered by
the children who take the daily
noontime meal.

Ward Bros. Lose
In $1,000 Fire
At Hunting Hill
Fire Companies Prevent Flames
From Spreading To Other
Buildings

Damage estimated at $1,000 was
caused by fire of undetermined origin
which early Sunday night destroyed
barn on the Ward Brothers farm,
five miles west of Rockville at Hunt
ing Hill.
Fire companies from Rockville,
Kensington, Gaithersburg and Sandy
Spring were unable to save the struc-
ture but prevented the flames from
spreading to other buildings. One
fireman, overcome by smoke, was
treated on the scene.
All livestock was removed from the
building. Hundreds of Sunday motor
lists were attracted to the fire by the
glare which could be seen for miles.
