Of Tomorrow Combines Features Night Clubs heoters Hotels

There's bright day ahead for the
harried train traveller who has taken
such a beating during the past three
and half war years.
If you want to see what coach
designers have dreamed up for your
postwar comfort, you ought to
browse around the exhibit which is
going to be put on by the Pullman
Standard Car Manufacturing Co. in
the Commerce Department audi
torium beginning Tuesday. The dis
play will be open Tuesday from / to
9 pm. and from Wednesday through
Saturday, from 10 am. to 9 pm.
The new trains will have Just
about everything you'd expect to
find on luxury liner. There will
be movies and dancing and radios
and cocktail bars and telephones
and amplifying systems to keep pas
sengers informed on their progress.

cocktail lounge can be cleared for

In their compartments will be able

provements which will add to pas
senger comfort and safety include
an automatic hot-box control to sig
nal the conductor and the engineer
before serious trouble occurs, a new
coupling device to prevent jerking
and bouncing, a shock-absorbing
truck for the wheels of the car to
absorb the punishment of an un-
even roadbed and automatic brake
control which diminishes pressure
as the momentum drops of and
will keep passengers from bashing
their heads against the water cooler
as the train enters a station.
About the only thing keeping
these ideas from being put into full
production Is the obstinacy Of the
Japs. When the day of final VIC
tory comes, the railroads and the
car designers will be ready.

In statement issued by the COM
mittee, it was declared that all in
dications point to a considerable
and rapid postwar growth" of the
area.
I'VE cannot halt progress" the
committee stated. I'VE can either
let this growth continue In a hit or
miss fashion, creating a host of new
and intensified local problems, or we
can cooperate and collectively
guide this growth in an orderly and
planned development which will
make our community into a desira-
BILE suburban college town in which
We can justly take measure of civic
pride"
The committee also asserted that
! incorporation would afford residents
self government in all matters OF
purely local interest and would give
them an orga 4 t o n through

of participation in all affairs OF
State and Federal Government"

Some persons have asked and OBJ

not beds but personnel If 100 nurses
could be found, he said, 1000 more

however, that the Veterans Admins

nurses because the Navy has filled
its nurse quota and the Army will
not need to recruit more nurses
after We Day.

streets.
Mayor M. H. Haertel announced
that meeting of town resident.
and the Town Council will be hele
at 8 pm. May % at the Madison
School, when residents will be
given the facts" by experts about
street conditions and will then be
expected to assist the Council ir
planning the course to be followed.
"The Council has nothing to sell,
Mayor Haertel explained, adding
that I'VE don't know whether a bond
issue is necessary or desirable OF
if residents will have other plans
about streets. We will simply pre-
sent the facts, leaving the decision
to the people"
Experts to be Called.
In order to present clear picture
of present street conditions and
necessary remedies, Mayor Haertel
said, the Council will have on hand
two engineers and financial expert
to provide facts.
A study will be made of the street
situation, he said, and perhaps
several alternate plans for i'm
provements will be discussed.
"If it seems that a bond issue
will be necessary the Mayor ex-
planned, I'VE will have a financial
expert there who can provide the
answers as to what kind, and how
big an issue will be necessary and
how it can be financed the cheap
est"
While the May meeting will not
in itself determine if a bond issue
will be voted, it will at least pro-
vide guide for the Council, It
was pointed out. A referendum
would be necessary before bonds
could be issued, it was explained,
and the consensus of the meeting
may point the immediate action
of the Council. 1t is possible, how
ever, that a second meeting may
be necessary before definite action
can be taken.
Towns Growth Hatches Problem.
The towns street problem, made
more acute during the last two
years by rapid growth of the COM
munity, has been under discussion
for more than a year.
AS new subdivisions came into
being in the Falls Church corporate
limits and their street networks
were taken into the towns system,
the council was faced with the
problem of road upkeep without
tax backlog, since revenues from the
new areas do not come into the
town treasury. until a year after
their streets are taken over.
At least two plans to provide
street improvement and mainte-
nance have been under discussion
in the past. One plan would pro-
vide bond issue big enough to
permit complete overhauling of the
street system, allowing yearly rev.
enues to be applied to maintenance.
Under another plan, bonds could
be issued only for immediate needed
improvements, leaving projects that
are considered less acute to be f.
nanced over longer period of time.
It has been pointed out, also,
that If residents do not favor
bond issue, the town can follow it's
present plan of patching and pro-
viding temporary surfacing to those
streets that are in the worst state
of repair
