"a Square re Mile i e. Area
OF Bowie, Glenn Dale.
To Get Wafer System
w.

The Washington Suburban SAM.
tary Commission yesterday an
nounced plans for a filtered water
supply for a 24-square mile rura
area in the Bowie Glenn Dale sec.
ton of Prince Georges County.
The project was approved by the
commission after a study of the in
dividuaf we'll supply system now
used in the area.
According to Frank B. Smith
newly-appointed Sanitary Commis-
sion chairman. the study was re-
quested by Bowie residents. The
three Bowie town commissioners
John L. Bauman, Aaron Horowitz
and Lawrence Maenner have ap-
proved the Sanitary Commission S
plans resulting from the study, Mr.
Smith said.
Limits of Affected Area.
Under the proposed plans, the
24-square mile area would be
bounded by the WSSC line, near
Seabrook, on the west; Good Luck
road and the Federal property line
of Greenbelt and the Beltsville
experimental station on the north;
the Patuxent River on the east,
and the George N. Palmer and De-
fense highways on the south.
The Sanitary Commission en-
gineers, in announcing their plans,
said the water would be supplied
by an extension of the water mains
from Seabrook along the Lanham-
Severn road to Glenn Dale and
Bowie. A water main now serv-
ing the Glen Dale Sanitorium on
Defense highway also wiuld be
connected with the proposed extern
sion at Bowie at later date, the
commission reported.
Water for the proposed system
will be supplied from the Patuxent
River, near Laurel, and will pass
through the Willis School filtration
plant.
Initial Cost Put at S325, ,465.
Initial construction costs are es-
timated at $325, ,465, including $114,-
$50 for the water main extensions
along the Lanham-Severn road
$140,315 for water mains in Bowie
and $70,500 for a 0,000-gallon
water storage tank.
A tax of 10 cents per 500 assessed
valuation would be levied against
residents If the 24-square mile rural
area is created by the Maryland
General Assembly, a commission
spokesman declared. Taxation would
not begin, however, until construc-
tion is started.
Estimates by the commission in
dicate that property owners abut-
ting the proposed water mains would
pay IT cents front foot for the
first $50 feet, cents for the next
150 feet and 5 cents thereafter as
the mains are extended. Farm lands
would be exempted from the 'front.'
foot charges. In addition, an esti-
mated 35 cents per 1000 gallons of
water consumed would be charged
when individual home connections
are completed.

Silver Spring Hospital
Stand Asked in Letters
10 IS Organizations

Despite opposition of the Mont
gomery County Delegation in the
General Assembly to proposed
| 81 100000 bond issue to aid in, the,
construction of a hospital in Silver
Spring, letters are being sent out
this weekend by the Silver Spring
Hospital Association to some rs
organizations asking their support
Of the recommendation.
Fred L. Lutes, president of the
association, said he has also sent
letter to Anders r. Lofstrand, jr.,
chairman of the county delegation,
urging that final action be withheld
on the proposal until the sentiment
of the organizations and citizens is
determined.
The delegation expressed opposi-
ton to the bill when it was first
proposed several weeks ago and re-
iterated its disapproval Thursday.
Mr.. Lutes said that on February
n Chairman Lofstrand told meet
ing of the Construction Board of
Trustees of the hospital association
that he would be happy to intro
duce the bill'' if it had the support
of the organizations and individuals
of the community. Mrs. Leona Rush,
also a delegate, said the delegation
wanted to be assured the bill had
community support.
The letter from the hospital as
sociation to the organizations en-
phasizes that the proposed bill Is
merely an enabling act which would
authorize issuance of the bonds only
If necessary.
1t says that the annual increase
in taxes in any one home, If the
full amount was sold, would be about
IS to So a year. The additional tax
on business property would be in
the same ratio, it adds.
The Construction Board, the let
ter asserts, proposes to continue
raising funds through voluntary
contributions, which it hopes will
prove sufficient without calling for
the bond issue. Mr. Lutes said the
project, estimated to cost S1,250,000,
is the largest ever attempted in
Silver Spring and the tax levy may
be needed 80 that the program can
be developed with all possible speed"

son, was for 20 years chairman OF
the party in the lighting ninth"
congressional district. He had the
unanimous support of the Nomlna-
tions Committee at today's State
convention and was elected by &C
clamation.
The new State chairman told the
400 delegates I'll make some mis-
takes because I am going to do
things. Virginia needs two-party
government. You can't build from
the top down. I'm going into the
precincts"
Harmony Effort Fails.
Mr.. Dovel, submitting his resigna-
ton after three years as chairman,
said he had sbeen unable to achieve
party harmony and had been blocked
in many of his efforts to build up
the party because of factional strife.
He said he resigned with no Ill will
toward any Republican and prom
ised his support to his successor.
John Locke Green of Arlington,
sought to have the convention re-
fuse to accept MI. Dovels resigna-
ton but Mr.. Dovel himself sent
word to the convention chairman,
Roby c. Thompson of Abingdon,
that Mr.. Green's motion did not
meet with his approval.
At least one official followed Mr..
Dovel's suggestion that all resign
and permit the convention to name
a clean slate of officers. This was
w. c. Demming of Front Royal,
whose resignation as secretary was
given to Chairman Woods and the
State Executive Committee, which
took no action on it. The secretary
is not elected by the State conven-
ton but by the committee.
There was no move on the part
of other officials to resign. Prev
iously, Lester S. Parsons and Law
renee c. Page, who made the sug-
gestion to Mr.. Dovel, had resigned
from the Executive Committee as
members from the second congress
sional district.
Party Plan Amended.
The convention today amended
the party's plan in a number of
particulars, the most important be-
ing the creation of a single State
Central Committee to replace the
State committee and the State Ex-
ecutive Committee, whose overlap
ping functions caused some confus-
lon. The plan goes into effect i'm
mediately but persons now serving
will continue to serve out their
terms as members of the State Gen.

Marshall to insert forfeiture of Of
flee in the party plan.
Mr.. Dovel said in his resignation
speech that it has been reported
that Clarence Ahalt, vice chairman
of the party, participated in the
Democratic primary last year and
he called on Mr.. Ahalt to deny
the report if it was not true. Mr..
Ahalt did not respond, but news
papermen were unable to determine
whether he was present to hear the
remark. He was chairman of the
Permanent Organization Committee
today, but not present to make its
report, which was made by Fred c.
Parks of Abingdon.
No Action on Racing.
The Convention Resolutions Com
mittee took no acsgon on resolu-
ton submitted by Grayson Ahalt
of Arlington, seeking to commit the
party in favor of horse racing and
parimutuel betting to raise addi-
tional revenue for public education.
The organization of district,

tees was set forth in detail in the
party plan revision, with Arlington

The Child
Rambling Thoughts BY The
Philosopher

Parenthood is live topic now
adayS. More people than ever be-
fore in the worlds history seem to
be talking about the duties of par
entS.
The whole question of bringing
up children and the parent-child
relationship are receiving new
light.
New ideas about parents and
children are being given to the
world. For these we are indebted
to various people-to psychologists,
to educators, to Sociologists, and
others.
Even parents have become psy-
biologists and educators and soci-
ologists and educators and sociolo-
gists on their own account. They
have decided that since they bring
up children they are the ones who
ought to know most about them.
For this reason child study
groups. among parents are growing
and should be encouraged. They
are a good thing.
Two fathers on a train the other
day, both holding copies of news
paper open at the financial page,
were overheard talking about
bringing up children.
We are told that the child who
is unhappy may be suffering from
creative impulses that are thwart-
ed. The child who embarrasses it's
parents by always attracting at
tention to itself when company is
around is probably starved for
legitimate opportunities to per-
form.
Children need more chance to
build, to do things, to feel the
thrill of successful achievement in
one way or another.
Fears, we are informed, may be
the result of specific experience in
the earliest years.
These are some of the things
psychologists are telling us.
Discipline is as much topic of
discussion as ever. Obedience may
not be the virtue we have always
thought it, we are told, for the
freedom of the child is an object
of intelligent parents these days.
Punishment has undergone many
changes. The dark closet, the
beating of the helpless innocents-
al these are frowned upon. In
their place come reasoning with
children, the light of explanation,

treating children like grown-ups,
and perhaps some prejudices form
of deprivation.
There are some people who hope
that some day the last spanking
will be administered to children.
