Few in Montgomery Enroll
For Public Speaking Course
By A. A. HoehIinq

Either the residents of Montgom-
cry County are all inherently good
public speakers-or they just don't
care.
This is the conclusion of the
county's Board of Education which,
as an experiment, inaugurated a
summer course in public speaking
for adults at the Bethesda Chevy
Chase High School.
Only seven have enrolled. If at
least three more do not join by the
end of the month. the course. due to
run through September, will be dis
continued, board Spokesman said.
Each Monday evening. for three
hours, the little group assemblies in
a first-floor classroom under the
patient tutelage of Harrison T.
Meserole, who, as an avocation,
plays trombone with an orchestra
called the -Four Blue Keys"
They take turns reading to one
another, and then wincing as the
other six join forces to explain what
was wrong.
But they are doing very well"
says Mr.. Meserole. Their en-
thusiasm is commendable."

Child Health Neglect
Blamed on Parents

Parental neglect was blamed for
failure to correct health defects
among Alexandria public school
students in official comment yester-
day on the Alexandra School Board S
report to the Virginia Department
of Education showing that less than
80 per cent of the defects diagnosed
have been corrected.
DR.. w. Lewis Schafer, city health
officer. said that the number of de-
fects is not unusual and this con-
dition has been going on for years
The board reported that among
6,942 students there were 1858 de-
fects revealed in examinations COW
ering eye, ear, nose, throat, teeth
weight, speech and Gripping con-
ditions.
Dr. Schafer said that after exam
nations are made the parents re-
ceive reports on the defects and are
asked TO have corrections made by
their family physician. Children OF
parents without sufficient funds to
pay for doctors care are treated at
the Alexandria Community Health
Center, an agency of the Alexandria
Council Of Social Agencies.
Supt. of Schools Thomas C. Will
liams concurred in DR.. Schafer's
view that parents are neglecting to
refer their children to physicians.
Mrs. Thomas M Jones, president
OF the Alexandria Council of Par
ent-Teacher Associations, described
the situation as shocking" and
urged that an assistant health officer
be appointed for maternal health
and child-care phases of the Health
Departments work.

phone company executive, a public
accountant, caterer, an EXC. L.
two housewives and girl who
works with the Government.
All agree that they signed up for
the course-which costs $1-for the
sole purpose of learning to talk
better"
Mr.. Meserole saws they lost en-
barrassment after the first lesson,
and nov they can get up and face
the sprinkling Of faces and the
yawning rows of empty chairs with
out dropping so much as a single
vowel.
AS to the scarcity of pupils, Mr.
Meserole thinks 1t may be because
most peoples minds become
atrophied by their humdrum daily
existence and lose interest in learn
ing anything"
Normally he teaches English and
music at the Montgomery Blair
High School. The evenings he isn't
playing his trombone he's studying
for his masters degree In English
at the University OF MARYLAND.

to obtain permission to build or to
obtain priorities in cases where such
permission has been granted"

Pinecrest, Lynnbrook and Mont
gomery Hills Schools will be opened
by the board Friday. At that time

Hospital Act Hailed
By PaHan as Step
To Meet Health Needs

The new hospital survey and con-
struction act for a five-yaar, Ma
tion-Wide program, to include the
District of Columbia, was hailed
today by Surgeon General Thomas
Parran of the United States Public
Health Service as a plan designed
to provide for the overall health
needs of the people"
The bill became law yesterday by
signature of President Truman, who
objected, however, to two features
Of the measure.
Dr. Parran, who will administer
the act under supervision of the
Federal Security Agency, issued a
statement last night through the
FSA in which he said:
This act sets for the first time
national policy which makes it
clear that hospitals in the future
must be planned, located and oper-
ated in relation to the overall health
needs of the people
Integrated Role.
This policy. as evolved through
the leadership of the hospital au-
thorities of the country" he added
SIS recognition of the integrated
role that hospitals and health CEN
tiers must play in the future. AIDE
quate hospitals, health centers and
related physical facilities are the
essential workshops, without which
| 1t is not possible to provide even a
minimum of modern health and
medical services"
The act authorizes appropriation
of $75,000,000 each year for five
years for hospital construction, and
100000 for State conducted sur
veys of need. Two million dollars
already have been appropriated for
the surveys.
Population Determines Share.
The FSA in its explanation of the
act pointed out that any State may
initiate action by submitting a re-
quest to the Surgeon General OF
the Public Health Service for funds
to carry out an inventory of exist
ing hospitals, and to prepare a plan
for the construction necessary to
provide adequate care for all the
people. In making the request, the
States must designate a single State
agency to carry out the survey and
planning and must appoint a prop
erly qualified advisory council to
consult with the State agency. The
| proportionate share for each State
of the total Federal appropriation
for survey and planning will be de-
termined by the population of the
several States.
Allotments for the actual con-
struction of facilities will not be
made until the State plan based or
the survey findings has been ap-
proved. Construction allotments tt
individual States will vary ir
amount. Population will be one
factor, and in addition, the average
per capita income will be used In
the allotment formula in such q
way that States with lower pei
capita income. where there is rel
atively greater need for medica
facilities, will receive proportion
ately larger allotments per capita-
