For COzy Home
Near Rockville

Two Baltimore Transit Company
buses with three room cinder
block addition, is the cosy home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gather Ward and
their four daughters. The build
ing is on Route 24O, just beyond
the corporate limits Of Rockville.
When The Wards sold their home
on Veirs Mill Road two months

they came up against the housing
shortage and not being able t.
buy or build the type house they
wanted, they have constructed
unique little dwelling which will
serve their needs nicely.
The two buses which are set on
n cinder block foundation, have
been attached at the long gides
and door cut through the middle.
The two rooms thus formed have
been painted, sealed with plywood
where necessary, and attractively
curtained. The floors are covered
with CHEEKY linoleum. The cinder
block addition which will contain
the dining room, kitchen and bath,
will be completed by the end Of
the week.
The Wards will live here with
their four daughters, Unadine,
Shirley, Caroline, and their mar
ried daughter, Mrs. Bertha Vir-
GINA Clark. The latter's husband,
the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Clark of Rockville, is attending
the University of Maryland.
Mr.. Ward has been a well
known automobile salesman in
Rockville for a number Of years,
and he intends to return to SELL
ing when there are enough cars
available to make business worth
while. In the meantime, the Wards
plan TO open a small grocery store
IN their new home in about three
weeks.

Dr.. Shearon
Talks On Pitfalls
Medical Progr' m

Dr Marjorie Shearon explained
the pitfalls of the wagner,mu,,
m [Dingell Bill to the Rockville
;ors at their meeting on Wednes-
dav at the Bronze Turkey
Dr. shearon stated that socializ-
o. medicine merely means medical
services distributed by the govern
ment and supported by taxation
This would cover doctors, dentlsts'
nurses and druggists who would be
civil servants paid by the govern
n,ent. Hospitals would also be
cperated by the government.
She explained how the Wagner
Murray-Dingell bill is an adapta-
tion of compulsory insurance laws
nassed in Germany in the 188Vs
bv Bismarck. This same plan OF
social insurance has been adapted
in over thirty countries, generally
as a political, fiscal and regulatory
device. The bill would cover the
entire population, with a tax on
the employee, employer, profess
sional people, ETC., until the fve
billion necessary to finance it were
raised. Of this about 20%o would
cover the payroll of the depart
ment handling it.
DR.. Shearon explained how the
doctors, the community and the
Individual would be affected by
this type of compulsory insurance.
She pointed out that at present
this bill has Democratic backing,
but some prominent Republicans
are in favor of it too. The bill will
be presented to the 80th Congress
in January.
Although DR.. Shearon, research
analyst iof the Senate Committee
of the Minority, is opposed to this
type of Recommendation, she said
that when the United States Joined
the International Labour Office in
Geneva in 1927, our country COM
mitted itself to this type of social
lied health legislation.

There are game laws in Column

The story goes that game ward

it is a fact that game warden

The score of workmen now busy
LAYING storm sewers and curolng
in Tabor City have a past that
is truly stranger than fiction, yet
a true tale that has been handed
down through the ages.
These town workmen come from
Crusoe Island, a once isolated
settlement in the depths OF the
forest surrounding the WaccamaW
River and until this date, a com
munity set apart from the rest OF
the world, in many cases little
interested in what goes on IN
the confused outside universe.
The story goes back hundreds
of years to the time when Haiti,
an island in the Indies, passed
into the hands of the French
and colonization began. Serious
troubles brewed between the Neg
70 population and the French
colonists, resulting in the Negro
uprising of 179O-91 at which time
the blacks defeated the whites,
the only such incident in history,
and determination of the white
French began on a wholesale
basis.
A small boat was seized by a
handful of scared French and the
refugees put out to sea, leaving
everything they had behind. They
were intent upon leaving Haiti,
yet decided to land at Wilmington,
