Of Hospital Park.
Al gross of Roman candles were
purchased, at a cost of $40 to the
city, and police began shooting them
off in the park Wednesday night,
continuing with the fireworks last
night.
Only trouble is, so far, that the
starlings seem to enjoy the Roman

at all, they 60 to trees only a few

Extension Of Sewers
Planned in Campaign
Against Polio Spread

While plans of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission call
for extension of two branch trunk
sewers in Prince Georges County
during the next year to eliminate
the discharge of raw sewage into
the Northeast and Beaver Dam
branches, county health officials
have taken steps to determine
whether such conditions are to
blame for the outbreak of Is polio
cases, and possibility of a 17th,
within a smile radius of those
streams, it was revealed today.
While no actual proof has been
obtained so far as to any of the
victims contracting the illness as
a result of the sewage contamina-
ton, Dr. John M. Byers, county
health officer, said he woul ask the
John Hopkins University School of
Hygiene and Public Health and the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis to make a study of the
suspected polio areas.
DR.. Byers said it was possible the
raw sewage was to blame, but added
that there have been no definite
findings as to the exact cause of
any of the cases in the county this
year.
Girl Taken to Hospital.
The latest victim, a 21a-year -old
Greenbelt girl, was admitted to
Children's Hospital on Monday, and
brought the total number of cases
now under treatment in Washington
hospitals to a. Only four of those
are from the. District, and the re-
mainder are from nearby Maryland
and Virginia.
The District Health Department
said there were 10 cases treated at
this time last year.
A 6-year-old Greenbelt girl also
is under observation as a possible
victim Of polio, according to DR..
Byers. If she has infantile paralysis,
she will become the sixth resident
of that community to contract the
disease.
Other cases in the county include
three from Berwyn, two each from
Hyattsville and East Pines, and one
each from Riverside, Cheverly,
Ritchie and Colmar Manor Two of
the victims, one from Riverdale and
another from Berwyn, died, DR..
Byers reported.
Carrier" Study Asked.
The county health officer said he
would contact DR.. Kenneth Maxcy,
professor of epidemiology at John
Hopkins, with a suggestion that he
examine the immediate families of
current polio patients for their pos
sibility OF being human carriers" 4"
| DR.. Byers said the National
Foundation would not be requested
to take action until a report is made
by DR.. Maxcy. ~
Meanwhile, Harry r. Hall, sanitary
engineer Of the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission, said the
sewer extension projects would cost
$325,000 for the Northeast Branch
trunk sewer, and $4,000 for the
Beaver Dam Branch.
In an effort to steam the national
poliomyelitis emergency, the War
Department has directed a call to
National Red Cross headquarters
here asking for discharged Army
nurses to volunteer their services for
this work.
The Red Cross announced that
nearly $50 nurses have been re-
cruited so far, but said more were
needed. Salaries of the emergency
nurses will be paid by the National
J Foundation for Infantile PARALYSIS.

$4,000, 1000 Bond Plan
Drafted in Arlington
For Improvements

A S6,000,000 capital improvement
program for Arlington permanent
street construction, parks and play
grounds, storm and sanitary sewer
extensions, enlargement of sewage
disposal plant, an incinerator and
extension of the courthouse, has
been drafted following a series of
conferences between County Board
members and the county manager, it
was announced today by Board
Chairman Edmund D. Campbell
The study, in preparation for sew
eral months, actually totals $780,
900 worth of projects in its tentative
detail but county officials now are
pairing the estimates to bring the
overall cost to the six million figure
which they feel is the maximum
bond issue which conservative
financing should support, Mr.. Camp
bell said.
Will Go Over Proposals.
He disclosed at the same time
that county heads. will call into con-
ference various leaders of civic and
political groups-including the Dem
ocratic and Republican Committees
to 60 over the proposals.
Expressing his. own viewpoint, he
added, II am in favor of a reason
able bond issue for school improve
ments but am anxious that the gen.
eral bond issue be considered at the
same time so that the entire
financial picture may be studied by
taxpayers.
Petitions currently are being cir
culated calling for referendum on
$3,250,000 bond issue for school
| improvements.
Current land valuation in Airing
ton has been estimated by Commits
sioner of Revenue Harry K. Green
to be in the neighborhood of $685.
100000.
Reassessment Studied.
A Board of Reassessment this year
is engaged in readjusting land
values for tax purposes and some
estimates are that new values up
to so per cent of the present total
may be added to the tax rolls.
The total list of projects drawn
up on the preliminary list and which
are being paired to a six-milIor
figure includes 81 storm sewer
projects in areas considered in
greatest need Of drainage through
out the county; improvements to
eight Fairgrounds, totaling 10 acres
which previously were authorized by
the board, but no new acquisitions
contemplated; permanent construc-
tion of cross-county and other main
traffic arteries amounting to %
miles; seven trunks and seven
pumping stations in the sanitary
sewer system; addition to the
sewage treatment plant, where sur
plus sewage empties untreated into
the Potomac River, at a cost of
$3.50, 900; construction of an incin-
orator where none now exists, $685.
000 and an addition to the over
crowded courthouse where corridors
currently are used for Office space,
$4,000
Mr. Campbell said the concensus
of the county manager and the
board is that permanent highway
construction would materially reduce
the annual cost of street mainten-
ance which now runs between $15e,-
900 and 100000.
Expressing the opinion that an
equitable reassessment would service
proposed 100000 bond issue as
well as a reasonable amount
for school improvements, without
changing the tax rate, the board
chairman said about $360,000 an
nually would be required to service
six million issue as compared with
$54O, 900 for a nine million issue.

lives we can save.
Mr.. Davis said the people in the
famine stricken nations were ex-
erting large effort to get back in
to full scale food production, but
they have many difficulties tc
overcome. He pointed out that the
United States was exporting large
quantities of vegetables seeds to
help these countries grow their
own food. For every 8 pounds of
vegetable seed that we plant he
said, 1 pound is being sent abroad
and all told, the U. S. will ship
about 8 million pounds of veget.
ables seeds to 81 different natl
ons this year. On an average, a
pound of seed Sent abroad will
produce about a thousand pounds
of food.
The most critical need during
the next few months was said by
the FEC chairman to be that of
accommodating enough wheat, fats,
and oils to meet the goals set for
exports in the first half Of 1916.
Citing such factors as the short
age of tinplate and record break
ing consumer demand, he said the
general AMI localized shortages of
other foods might develop from
time to time.
All these facts show the need
The Omaha guide., 1946-04-13

for millions of gardens in 1916.
Gardens will help us conserve
wheat by providing extra veget-
ables to make up for less bread
and cereal. They will cushion ag-
ainst shortages which may devel-
OPP hhere and there during the
critical months. They will enable
many more people to can and pre-
serve foods. r1aking it possible for
them to donate more to collection
campaigns for foreign relief. Gar
dens will, in short, help us meet
our goals for export and protect
us against shortages at home.

home owners are showing an al

Particularly are they interested
in windows of the type that take
up the entire wall of one room.
Most homes now being built or
planned include at least one of
these large units. These windows
not only add beauty to a house
but also make heating easier by
using the heat Of the sun. They
