|Grovefon-Penn Daw
Hopes Rise in SoIvinq
Sewage Problem

Residents Of the Groveton-Penn
Daw area Of Fairfax County today
had new hope for relief from the
critical sewage disposal problem
confronting them. - .
A proposed $4,000, 900 bond issue
for Sanitary District No. 1 in which
they live makes provision for con-
struction Of sewer lines in that area,
where overf1owing septic tanks and
polluted ground have become a
serious health problem.
Groveton-Penn Daw area resi-
dents first had a promise of sewer
facilities about a year ago, when
Federal funds were wade available
for preparation Of sewer plans for
the area.
Plans Boomerang.
The plans were prepared, and
property owners hopefully looked
forward to working out q plan to
finance sewer facilities 80 the work
could begin. Groveton had grown
faster than other areas within the
Sanitary District, and residents did
not feel they could wait until the
rest Of the Sanitary District was
ready for sewer extensions.
The Groveton sewer plans were
designed to connect with the Gov
ernment-owned Holmes Run trunk
sewer which serves part Of Sani-
tary District No. /. The Holmes
Run sewer empties into the Potomac
River at New Alexandra. This,
coupled with the Federal funds
that were used for preparation of
the sewer plans, proved a boomer
ang.
The Federal appropriation was
conditioned on approval by State.
Federal and local authorities of any
plans that were prepared. The State
Water Control Board, however,
could not approve connection of
any Groveton sewer, facility with
the Holmes Run sewer because of
the State water control law en-
acted in 1946, prohibiting the emp
tying Of any additional untreated
sewage into the Virginia rivers.
20 Miles Of Lines Added.
So Groveton has had to put up
with its sewer problems while pri-
vate developers have come into the
county and, because no Federal stip-
ulation is tackled on their sewer
plans, managed to add about 20
miles of new sewer lines.
The addition Of the sewer lines by
private developers is illegal but the
water control board has taken no
steps to halt the practice. The
county supervisors were warned at
4 recent meeting Of the board, how
ever, that they were violating the
law by permitting the sewer extern
sions without providing treatment
and were subject to fines.
AS q result, the supervisors have
placed a 30-day ban on any new ex-
tensions of the Holmes Run sewer
and indicated the ban may be ex-
tended. They believe, however, that
when they have the money in hand
for q treatment plant, the water
control board probably viii approve
further extensions, even before the
plant is built.
The $3,000,000 bond issue proposal
now being prepared will include
provision for acquisition by the
county of the Holmes Run sewer,
sewer extensions in Groveton and
other areas of Sanitary District No.
l now without sewerage facilities,
and acquisition Of sewer extensions |
that have been constructed by pri-
yate developers.

Dallas - Wally Triplett, star
half back for Penn State, came
up with a third quarter touch
down to tie the score with South
ern Methodist 1913, here in the
Cotton Bowl Thursday. Triplett
was one of two Negroes on the
Penn team who competed, for the
first time, against an all-white
southern college eleven in a maj
or football classic held in the
south. The other member was
Donnie Hoggard, end.
A crowd of $4,000 saw Penn
State trailing by six points at
the close of the half. Tthey open
ed the third quarter with a Az
yard drive which ended with Tri-
plett completing a courtyard pass
for a touchdown and the tying
score.
Hogard muffed a chance for the
winning score when, with only
seconds left to play in the final
quarter, he fumbled a pass in
the end zone.
The team was quartered at the
naval air base because it was the
one place in Dallas where the
squad could be kept together. 1t
was impossible to bunk them in
one of the hotels here, because
of the policy of segregation.

fair evidence that "200qo Patriot"

CO-OPS TO TAKE PART

Washington-NF right of
co-operatives to participate IN the
Economic Cooperation program was
established last week when President
Patton went strongly to bat for them
at the third meeting of the Advisory
Board of the Economic Cooperation
administration headed by Paul Hoff-
man. Previously it had been decid-
ed that grain, administered under the
program, would be channneled from
the U.S. to Europe through private
commercial groups and individuals.
The question Immediately arose as
to whether co-operatives would be
considered private agencies and thus
be allowed to have a share IN the
program.
After a discussion initiated by Mr..
Patton as to whether co-operatives
would be considered private groups,
A administrator Hoffman conceded
that they would and therefore would
be allowed to participate in the pro-
gram He said also that he would
notify representatives of co-opera-
tives of this decision in order that
their participation be insured.
