Whites Ferry Bridge
Proposed By Lions

The Monocacy Lions Club at its
last meeting adopted a resolution
regarding the construction of a
bridge at or in the vicinity of
Whites Ferry. The same resolu-
ton was adopted by the Leesburg
Lions Club and the Leesburg Ro-
tary Club, and will be presented to
other local civic and farm groups,
according to Charles Elgin, chair
man Of the committee.
The Poolesville High School has
polled the vicinity with almost a
unanimous vote in favor of build
ing the bridge. The resolution
states that since there is ne
bridge in the 40 mile stretch
there is no bridge in the 40 mile
stretch between Chain Bridge and
Point of Rocks, the Potomac River
constitutes an economic barrier and
an obstacle to trade and commerce
a bridge in the vicinity of Whites
Ferry would shorten the distance
between Leesburg and Baltimore
by about 20 miles. The expense
Of construction would be outweigh
ed by the economic benefits de-
-
rived. This resolution is also being
transmitted to the chairman Of the
state highway commissions.

Almvets Ask
Commissioner
For Houses
Delegation Appeals For 200
FPHA Housing Units To
Help Returning Vets

A delegation from the Montgom-
cry County Chapter 4 of AMVETS
appeared before the County Com
missioners on Tuesday of this week
and urged them to proceed with the
project Of securing 200 FPHA
housing units TO solve the veterans
housing shortage. William S. Blu
shell, Mrs. James Durnell and Blair
Lee Bird, we're indignant at the
attitude Of William +. Carlin,
chairman Of the Service Aid Coun-
Gil of Silver Spring in opposing
the temporary housing.
Mrs. Durnell, a former Wave,
pointed out that even if the houses
are not "home", they are better
than living with either friends or
relatives. She said that many Of
the veterans haven't the money to
buy the home which the Service
Aid Council thinks more suitable
for veterans. However, the Vet
Grams can save while living in the
temporary housing units, and later
buy a real home.
The Service Aid Council in a
letter read by the Commissioners
stated that the Beall Bill for Vet
craig housing is now in the House
for action. However the AMVETS
qlai.tained that the Beall Bill is
CEN pversial and viii have a stiff
bat t0 get through the House.

eEsl1fagc focal real estate men from
engaging in full production Of
family dwellings,, but we know, and
the real estate men know, that the
present demand for houses exceeds
anything that the realtors can hope
to produce within two years.
The Washington Missionary Col
lege, through the college president,
Ben G.. Wilkinson. requested fifty
housing units, for veteran students.
The college authorities claim that
they had to turn away married
veteran students because Of the
lack of housing facilities in the Ia
koma Park area.
They further stated that there
was space on the college grounds
for the buildings, and that the col
lcge would finance the installation
Of the public utilities. Commiss-
Toner Noyes was delegated to study
the proposal and report back.
