UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Feb.
19.-Warrants for the arrest OF 20
Prince Georges residents for al
legedly operating unlicensed trailer
camps near the Camp Springs air
port project were sworn out here
today by County Sanitary Engineer
Clarence L. Wood.
The action was taken following a
meeting Of the county commissioners
acting as board Of health. The
commissioners instructed Mr.. Wood
to enforce the present law dealing
with trailer camps.
The warrants were issued against
the following:
w. E. Bean and David Randall,
both of Forestville; T. E. Wood,
Route 5, Anacostia; Mrs. Lillian
Baker, Route 5, Anacostia; D. r.
Thorne, James Tolson, M. F. He'd

and J. B. Mattley, all of Clinton:
Mrs. Elsie Frye and Miss Catherine
Pieper, Route 4, Anacostia, and Her.
bert Pyles and c. w. Briggs, Route 5.
Anacostia.
so Trailers Affected.
The warrants will be served Mon
day and Mr.. Wood said those who
already have ordered trailers to
leave their property will not receive
warrants. He added that there are
about 60 trailers in the camps al
fected.
Mr.. Wood explained that he had
issued orders for the trailers to move
more than two months ago, but that
he had delayed enforcement In order
to permit the tenants to ind
licensed trailer camps. A similar
order was issued about two weeks
ago, he added, but to date practically
none of the trailers has complied.
Tenants of the various unlicensed
camps, most of whom are employed
as construction workers at the Army
Airport in Camp Springs, have
I1ldultdlIlCu Clidt IilCy lidsC AAo PA"S~
to move since the only licensed camp
is muddy and overcrowded."
A number have announced their
intention to move away and quit
work on the project" according to
Mr.. Wood.
The claim that the only licensed
camp is inadequate was described
by Mr.. Wood as incorrect" He said
this camp is operated by Leroy Byrd
at Maryland Club Gardens, about
4 miles from Camp Springs. This
camp, he said, now has only SO
trailers, although it can accom-
modate 80.
In addition another licensed cams
is expected to open Wednesday at
Allentown, about 1 mile from the
: airport.
The county law concerning traile.
! camps which went into effect last
; June specifies that each camp must
have proper water and sewage dis
posal facilities. The 20 camps against
, which warrants were issued do not
have these facilities, Mr.. Wood ex-
; planned.
, Il have given the owners Of these
. unlicensed camps and the trailers in
| them every opportunity to move to a
; licensed area" Mr.. Wood asserted
but since they refuse to cooperate
I have no alternative except to en-
force the law.

entire family, but must have the

longing to the persons for whom he
is registering. Mr. Chaplin esti-
mated that the registration would
take about 10 minutes for each
family.
County Rationing Administrator
Julius P. Stadler urged that every
citizen cooperate. 1t is possible
there will be mistakes, he said, and
1t is possible that the registrant and
the teacher might not agree on
some small point, but these things
should be overlooked and the regis
tration line kept moving, he said.
Persons who find some mistake
has been made or who feel they
have not been given all they are
entitled to may appeal to their local
rationing board at later date and
mistakes will be rectified," he added

Bethesda Section
Shows Interest in
Victory Gardens
1000 -Squore-Foot Plots
To Be PIowed for
Fumilies Under Plans

Bethesda Chevy Chase is definitely
Victory garden conscious. William
H. Prescott, commissioner for the
eastern suburban district of Mont
gomery County, is convinced of this
as requests for rent-free, plowed
plots poured into his Office this week
in response to the County Boards
action last week in Offering such
service.
The commissioner said today that
plots would be obtained and the
ground plowed in communities where
at least Is residents express an in
terest. Tentative plans call for the
plowing of the land and its laying
of into plots OF approximately 1000
square feet each. with alleyways
provided between 50-foot strips.
Gardening officials consulted have
stated that 1000 square feet is suf-
ficient garden space for the average
family. Larger plots may be OBJ
tanned, Mr.. Prescott said, for the
planting of potatoes or corn.
A number of landholders in the
area have offered their ground for
Victory garden use, Mr.. Prescott
said, and other plots may be OBJ
tanned without difficulty, he believes.
Just now the chief problem is to
find out how many want plots and
to classify the requests according to
location.
While the commissioner encour-
aged residents to grow their own
lood this summer, the women of the
area nave taken up the iaea with
enthusiasm and are planning courses
OF lectures which will assist gar
deners in making the best use of
their plots.
One such course will start on

Wavelet Rises to Become
WAVE by Diet and Exercises
Norma Munori, n,
Adds to Height
And Weight

One month ago Norma Munari,
81, liked bananas, drank an average
amount of water day, rather
adored potatoes and for all her 4
feet II inches and SO pounds had
an overwhelming desire to join the
WAVES.
Today Miss Munari can't stare a
banana in the face, pushes aside
potatoes and drinks a bare mini
mum of water-but she's feet tall
and weighs 95 pounds and she's
member of the WAVES-so there!
Norma, called "Rina' by her
friends, was told only 80 days ago
that she was a lovely brunei petite
and all that, but if she wanted to
become a WAVE she had to stretch
half an inch and gain six pounds to
reach the minimum requirements of
the WAVES.
Miss Munari. it may now be told,
did stretch and did gain. Exer-
clse-plenty of it-added the height.
She says she stretched enough to
take care of her yawns for the next
30 years. But the weight-gaining
campaign had its pitfalls-particu-
larly in the pit of her stomach.
For days she ate bananas-when
she could find any. Potatoes were
on her diet. And plenty of water.
Just when she was near to her goal
she got what she described as "the
worst stomachache in the world"
This made her i'll and she lost all
the pounds she had gained. But
she started in again-not quite so
intensively-and yesterday she made
the grade and was sworn in at 1920
G street NV, the naval recruiting
office.
"Rina,' who is a native Washing
tonian, lives at 208 c street NV.
Her brother Arthur is also in the
Navy.
