Nicholas L. Demas, co-owner of a
restaurant at 1913 Xenia street Sc,
said, II would slow down and watch

In spite of the temptation to
return bright lights to a motorist
who insists on keeping his bright,
I would still dim mine"
II would also continue slowly

The Education and Public Infor-

cedure:

required by District regulations.
Your high beam may blind other
drivers causing head-on crash-a
high price for getting even.
2. Do not look at beam of ap-
preaching car.
3. Slow down and use curb or
line Of parked cars on your side of
street as a driving guide until ap-
preaching car has passed.
4. Even after car has passed, do
not accelerate for a few moments
until eyes have become re-adiuSted

Problems Of Veterans

The Advisory Committee on the

study the possibility of expanding
aid to veterans in family welfare
problems.
This was disclosed yesterday after
a committee meeting at the Dis
trict Building strongly indorsed such
extension of service. Brig. Gen
Gordon r. Young, engineer COM
missioner and chairman of the

committee to investigate.
Votes Change In Name.
The committee also voted te
change the name of the center tx

ommendation Of Director Waldror
Leonard. Mr.. Leonard said ths
new name would be more descrip-
tive Of the present activities of the
center. Gen. Young agreed to take
the matter up with the other two
commissioners.
Mr.. Leonard also disclosed tht
cost of service to veterans has beer
computed at SO cents per veteran
here. while in other areas it has
averaged about $3.50. He pointed
out, however, that the District cen.
ter receives its heat and light free
and that the heavy volume .of busi-
ness also has made possible Low
per capita cost.
Mr.. Leonard reported on several
fraud cases the center has succeeded
in running down. One involved q
telephone solicitation Of funds fo1
presents for hospitalized veterans
Several others were real estate
cases in which the center succeeded
in obtaining refunds for the vet
Grams victims, he said. 8
Check on Detective School.
Still another, he said, involved
"a detective school which ran a quick
course which 1t claimed would
qualify the veteran for detective
work. This was discovered when
a graduate applied for job
through the center and presented
his certificate, Mr.. Leonard ex-
planned.

Seek to Preserve Fishing Paradise
In South Branch and Great Cocopon Rivers

To Be Protected From

mo. 4 Of a Series.)
BY jones BirchfieId

The waters Of the South Branch
of the Potomac and the Great
Cacapon Rivers in the West Vir-
ginia mountains are a fisherman's
paradise. The progress of civiliza-
ton has not yet spoiled these rivers,
and 1t is still possible to take trout
In the mountain streams and bass
In the lowlands.
These two rivers drain an area
Of the West Virginia Panhandle
that has become famous for Its
natural beauty. It is a section OF
fertile valley and rugged mountain
peaks, and is dotted with small
towns. Industry has not yet crept
up these streams from their junction
with the main Potomac River
channel between Cumberland and
Harpers Ferry.
Conservationists hope to preserve
the section as recreational area.
Planners who are looking toward
the orderly development of the basin
believe this can be done even though
industry comes into the area.
different Problems.
The problems here are different
than those in the Upper Potomac
valley. Here there is no industrial
pollution. and laws already are
written on the West Virginia statute
books to prevent uncontrolled pollu-
tion from new industry.
Basin planners are interested in
the development Of this area, since
1t will prove that by long-range
planning virgin country may be
developed so as to take advantage
of its many possibilities.
This means that no industries
will be allowed into the area until
it has been definitely proven that
their wastes viii be treated SO as
not to become a pollution problem;
that no projects, such as the
development of hydroelectric power,
will be undertaken that would spoil
large areas of rich agricultural land,

Justice Apologies
For Lack Of Space
In D. {. CourfrooI1ls

Chief Justice Bolitha j. Laws of
District Court apologized to jurors
yesterday for the crowded condi-
tion of the court, which necessitates
using courtrooms and offices in the
Municipal Court Building for Dis
trict Court work.
Delays blamed on the space prob
lem came to light in connection with
a number Of pending criminal cases
and two mental health cases which
were scheduled for hearing.
In one mental health case, an ell
derly woman on a stretcher was
taken from the Municipal Court
Building to the District Court Build
ing and back again. This became
necessary when a District Court
Justice to whom her case had been
assigned in the District Court Build
ing was unable to hear it because
of other cases. She then had to be
taken back to Justice Laws court
room in the Municipal Court Build
ing.
Commenting on the situation
later. Justice Laws spoke of the
necessity Of a larger and modern
structure for the District Court-a
matter that already has been before
Congress. He also expressed the
hope that the Governments econ
omy program will not do away with
the prospects of obtaining new
court structure.
Justice Laws revealed he and Jus
tice James M. Proctor, also of Dis
trict Court, late yesterday had in
spected a building at Eleventh and
G streets NV, with a view to find
ing possible additional space in
which to house certain District Court
agencies. Even If space were OBJ
tanned there, however, Justice Laws
said he did not know how things
could be worked out because many
District Court records are needed

Opportunity TO Set III
Center in Old School
Hailed by Douglass

| Use of the L. v. Brown School as
a combined recreation center and
library was hailed today by President
Paul F. Douglass of American Uni
versity as an opportunity. to expert
ment with the development Of COM
munity centers.
DR.. Douglass, who has been study
| ing recreational needs as a subcom-
mittee chairman on Engineer Com
missioner Gordon r. Young's g.
Year-Plan Committee, said conduct
/ ing recreational programs in operat-
ing schools did not work out very
well because of the psychological
difficulty" of bringing young people
back to school after school hours.
The only noncommercial indoor
recreation now available to young
people in the Chevy Chase area is
in the woodrow Wilson High School
gymnasium three nights a week.
The citizens of Chevy Chase, backed
by the Library and Recreation
Boards, have urged the Commission
ers to convert the E. v. Brown School
into a Misrepresentation center
when it Is vacated by the District
|OPA.
Stresses Independent Units.
"This school," said DR.. Douglass,
offers an opportunity to experiment
with the development of community
centers, which more and more
throughout the country are develop
ing as necessary to serve the needs
of an area.
"The centers are independent
units not attached to churches or
schools. Experience seems to show
that while there are outstanding
examples of great churches and
schools serving their community
areas, the divisiveness of religion
and the specialization of schools
have tended to make community
centers more successful when ope-
rated as independent units.
Sooner or later, Washington
must experiment with the develop
ment of integrated community CEN
ters, and E. v. Brown School offers
Immediately an opportunity to con-
duct such an experiment without
necessity of outlay of construction
materials in a period of material
shortage or development Of new
buildings and facilities"
Likes Combination.
Dr. Douglas said he also liked
the idea of having a library and
recreation center under one roof
Such an arrangement, he said, pro-
vided more incentives to reading
and. tended to 'lift recreation to
a level above that of pastime." !"
"I personally hope" he added,
that some fund can be found
within the budget of the District
to make this experiment possible.
eff District funds are not avail
able for this important experiment,
I should certainly like to see the
citizens of the area raise a fund
for operating purposes to meet the
needs Of their own community in
building made available by the
District. I'm sure legal means can
be found by the people sincerely
interested in their community to
meet these ends"
