Plans Outlined.
MI. Bailey outlined plans to tear
out all the "so-ca1led modern equip
ment" and restore the mill with
equipment similar to that used
when It was started Fortunately,
the old French-cl1t "buhr" stones
are still in place and In usable
condition. .E%
The stones. popularity supposed to
have been brought to the United
States as ballast on sailing ships,
are cut differently from those cut
in this country, Mr.. Bailey says.
Flour ground on the stones Is
known as buhr flour.
"Buhr flour retains all the edible
parts of the grain," Mr.. Bailey ex-
plains. 1T is the really original en-
riched flour.
when the grain is ground be-
tween the two stones, known as
the upper and neither, the kernel is
cracked, not mashed as it is in a
roller mill. In the latter process,
much Of the most nutritious portion
of the grain goes into the middlings
which is fed to stock
Will Make Corn Meal.
In addition to "buhr" flour, Mr..
Bailey plans to resume production
of corn meal and whole wheat -four.
In restoring the mill, the owner
plans to. use a steel rather than a
traditional wooden mill wheel. The
wooden wheels, he explains, warp
and lose water If not run constantly
The present wheel is beyond repair
A new one will cost about 81 800, he
says. E..
The old mill, according to local
legend, served as quarters for Union
troops during the Civil War. Later
a justice Of the peace held court
there and whipping post was in
the mill yard.
There are old fireplaces en- the
first floor and in the basement
which at one time was a slave quar-
ters. according to local account.

Bus Bill Is Amended
10 Bar New Routes
For ParochiaI School.

The controversial bill authorizing
Prince Georges County to provide
bus transportation to parochial
school students is before the Mary
land House of Delegates after its
approval yesterday in amended form
by the county delegation.
The amendments, according to
Perry o. Wilkinson, chairman of
delegation, are intended to clarity
provisions which might be inter-
peted to mean that the county COM
missioners could purchase new buses
and establish new routes to trans
port parochial and denominationial
school students. 49,
Opposition to the bill was ex-
pressed yesterday by DR.. Edwin E.
Pieplow, pastor of Trinity Lutheran
Church, Mount Rainier, head of the
only Protestant parochial school in
Prince Georges County; the Rev. H.
H. Votaw, secretary of the Religious
Liberty Association of the General
Conference of the Seventh-day Ad-
ventist Church, and DR.. Roy Stetler,
president of the Ministerial Union Of
Prince Georges County.
Ministers to Meet Monday.
The Ministerial Union will meet
at 10 am. Monday at the First
Methodist Church, Hyattsville, ia
consider the pending legislation
according to DR.. Stetler.
One of the mandments adopted
by the County Delegation reads
as follows:
"All children who attend any
[denominational or parochial non.
profit school in Prince GEORGE
County shall be entitled to trans
portation on such buses or convey
ances as are now or as may be
hereafter established, operated OF
provided by the Board of Education
Of said county for transporting
children to and from the public
schools of the county"
The other amendment would au-
thorize the county commissioners
to appropriate sufficient funds to
establish new bus routes "for trans
porting children to and from the
public schools of said county"
The Supreme Court ruled recently
in a New Jersey case that public
bus transportation could be pro-
vided for parochial school children.
Opposed by County Groups.
The Prince Georges bill has been
opposed by various county groups,
including several Protestant min
listers, who contend it would violate
the American tradition of the
separation of church and State"
In a telegram to Mr.. Wilkinson,
DR.. Pieplow said, "' ." I wish to
advise you that have never asked
for Government aid in support of
my school at Hyattsville, nor has it
ever been the policy of my church
to accept Government aid in support
of any phase of our church's pro-
gram, and therefore I do not favor
the bill - ="
MIR. Votaw declared that religious
freedom can not be safe where
church and State are combined. He
pointed out that the Adventists op-
crate the John Nevins Andrews
Church Day School in Takoma Park
just across the county line, which
has many children from Prince
Georges County on its rolls. This
school, he said, operates its own
buses in the two counties and re-
fuses to accept Montgomery County
transportation, which already is au.
thorized by law.
Dr.. Stetler said, 1--WE have gone
on record as being opposed to public
aid to organized religion, and now
we offer positive proof that we prac.
tice what we preach"
