Il Alexandra Girl Scouts
Leave for Summer Camp

The first group of Alexandria Girl
Scouts to use the farm near Ma
nassas recently purchased by the
Civitan Club as a site for a Girl
Scout summer camp, left today for
a two-day camping stay,
A pioneer group of IL girls led by
Mrs. Howard Kennedy and Mrs.
Donald Ramsey, Girl Scout leaders,
have planned every detail of the
expedition, which will provide an
opportunity for them to win their
badges in camping and outdoor
cooking. They have even been
making some of the utensils which
they will use.
According to Mrs. Frank Heile-
man, director of scouting, the farm
will be used throughout the summer

HitIer's Long Talk
Puts General to Sleep

"On the second day after lunch,
when everything had been said,

religion and philosophy, art and
history. Mussolini looked at his
wristwatch. I had my mind on
my own business. Only Cavallero

Rostock and Lubbock literally have
been razed. Cologne has been hit
heavily. The Germans strike back

Bethesda Trade Body
Urges Airparks in
West Area Of County
By MRS. ]. REED BRADLEY

The development Of airparks in
Western Montgomery County in
connection with other recreational
facilities was recommended last
night by the board of directors OF
the Bethesda Chamber of Com
merce at its monthly meeting in the
Bethesda County Building.
The chamber also went or record
as favoring establishment of ar
airport in the western district sc
located as to best serve the needs
OF the area" AS presented by King
Mularkey, Aviation Committee
chairman, the resolution called foI
approval Of a county owned and
developed airport to be leased To
private operators" Opposition to
county ownership caused the adop-
ton of the resolution in an amended
form.
Stunt Flying Protested.
Charging that service planes have
been stunt flying in the area, the
chamber decided to ask the Wal
and Navy Departments to take some
action in the matter. A written
report to the chamber was re-
quested.
A suggestion of the War Memorial
Committee for memorial COM
munity building. housing a library
and containing rooms for meetings
of local organizations, including a
memorial room, was approved by the
board. Cost was suggested at be-
tween 100000 and $200, 900, to be
financed by a combination of pub
lie and private funds.
No action will be taken by the
chamber in the near future to OBJ
tain angle parking on Wisconsin
avenue, as was suggested at the
last meeting. The decision fol-
lowed a report by Sam Stonebraker
in which he pointed out that an
80-foot, 4-lane highway Is too mar
row for angle parking on both sides.
Given Top Priority.
Mr.. Stonebraker reported the
widening of Wisconsin avenue north
of East-West highway to the Naval
Hospital has top priority on the
States road-building program.
A resolution introduced by George
Fessenden suggested that the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission send bills six months
in arrears instead OF in advance
for its trash and garbage collec-
tion, thus allowing adjustments to
be made for months in which no
service was given. The matter was
referred to the Civic Development
Committee for study.

Trade Unit Resigns
From Prince Georges
Transportation Group

Feeling that the newly formed
Central Transportation Committee
of Prince Georges County would be
restricted in it's work to only a part
of the county, the Independent
Trade Association. the county last
night voted to resign from the COM
mittee.
The resolution, adopted at a
meeting in the Riverdale Municipal
Hall, said the Transportation Com
mittee was formed through efforts
of the trade association, which in
tended it to function in the interest
Of the entire county.
A letter from the Office of Defense
Transportation was read in which
it was said an investigation of a re-
quest for restoration of bus service
from the District line on Bladens-
burg road to Berwyn had been made.
ODT said two possible solutions were
indicated-one, that the Greyhound
Lines be permitted to pick up local
passengers between these points
The other was a rearrangement OF
the entire Capital Transit Co. serv-
ice in the area, which might result
in the limited resumption of the
former route from the District line
to Berwyn.
The trade association said Fed
eral regulations prevent ODT from
authorizing additional bus lines ir
the area unless it can be done with
out increasing mileage. In view
of this, the association is arrangini

representatives to discuss plans al

FWA Approves Funds
To Plan Non-FederaI
Postwar Projects

Advances totaling SIS, 500 for plan
ming an estimated $3.50, 900 of non
Federal postwar public works in
the District and nearby Arlington
County were approved yesterday by
Baird Snyder, acting Federal Works
administrator.
The District is allotted $500 for
blueprinting four additional sedi-
mentation tanks and appurtenances
to be installed at the sewage treat
ment plant at Blue Plains, having
466, 900 cubic feet of capacity. The
ultimate cost is estimated at s245, 900
Arlington County is allotted $500
for planning a 300-ton incinerator
to be built near the intersection OF
Giebe road and Highway No. /, and
$500 for planning building to
serve as county maintenance shops
and equipment depot to be located
at the country property yard. The
estimated cost of the incinerator
plant is s275. 900 and of the main
tenance shops and depot, 100000.
Arlington's need for an inciner-
ator plant is based partly on the
increase in the county's population
during the past 10 years from 81, 900
to about 125,000 and partly on the
fact the county collects refuse from
many of the large Federal buildings
there as well as from homes.
Maintenance shops are needed
because Arlington is one of only
three Virginia counties which build
and maintain their own highways.
The contemplated building, of cinder
block, brick and reinforced concrete
construction, will increase facilities
for caring for and repairing county,
owned equipment used in the main
tenance of streets and of the county
sewer and water systems.
Mr.. Snyder also approved ad-
vances of 1925 for Federal
postwar works In more distant
points in Maryland and West vir-
ginia, for planning an estimated
81 ,235, TOO worth of projects. They
are located in Richmond, Va; iNorth-
east Maryland and Parkersburg,
w. Va.
The funds will all be made avail
able through the Bureau of Com
nunity Facilities, FWA.
