Prince Georges Seeks
To Increase Budget
Without Tax Boost


demands without raising the
county's $1.97 real estate tax rate
is the major problem confronting
the Prince Georges County Com
missioners today.
Increases were asked in three
of four requests submitted to the
commissioners yesterday.
One possible new source of reve-
nue-a pinball machine box-was
discussed by the commissioners
during a closed session yesterday
at Upper Marlboro. Details were
not divulged, however. except that
the matter will be taken up with
members of the count Legislature
delegation at Annapolis. Such
tax has been recommended by
several county organizations, in
Guiding the countys Fereration Of
Citizens Associations.
Latest budget requests were
from the Prince Georges General
Hospital, the County Health De-
partment and it's Sanitation Divi-
sion, and the countys summer
recreation program. The latter
section was the only department
not asking for an increase.
Asks $40 Less.
In fact. C. Paul Barnhart. prin-
cipal at Bladensburg High School
and director of the recreation
program, asked for $40 less than
last year. His request for $23, 800
for operation of Is white and
seven colored Fairgrounds during
an eight-Week period from June
q to August 10 won the immedi-
ate approval of the Commission
erS.
DR.. A. K. Besley. superintendent
of the Prince Georges General
Hospital, asked for $20,235 in
crease. The hospital received
100000 from the county under
the current budget.
DR.. Besley estimated the hos
pitfalls net income from patients
using the 100-bed institution as
S527,218. while operating expenses,
including community services, will
total S577,453.
Dr.. Thomas S. Englar. county
health officer, submitted a budget
calling for $4,000 for operation
of the county Health Department.
He asserted this represented only
a $4,000 increase, although the
department budget last year
actually totaled $40,500. Some of
the items included last year were
transferred this year to the San
itation Divisions budget, he said.
Additional Nurse Asked.
The $4,000 increase is for an
additional public health nurse.
salary raises for nurses in accord
ance with the State scale and
expansion of the school visual
and hearing clinics, DR.. Englar
said.
Charles L. Wood, county sani-
tary engineer. submitted his Of
fees budget, which calls for $3l-
200. Most of this is for salaries.
Another item. seeking $12,550 for
typhus control and rat eradica-
ton, also was submitted by Mr..
Wood. This would be $3.50 more
than the present budget.
The commissioners yesterday
approved two proposed bond is
sues. One would permit the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission to sell
100000 in bonds to obtain money
to purchase road sites in unde-
veloped areas.
The second authorizes a $10,-

Room
toGrow
By Angelo Potri

Children need to feel the strength
that comes Of ownership. They
are little people. They are weak
and those about them are strong.
They can do very little about the
things they feel most keenly while
older folk have all the power they
need. They are: like strangers in
a strange land. To be able to put
their hands on something tangible
and say. This is mine," is to md
strength and comfort. a feeling Of
Importance, Of bigness.
There should be a place where
each child Of the family can keep
his belongings and his place should
be sacred to the child. That means
nobody else is allowed to touch
anything in that place without
permission Of the owner. This
exclusiveness is an essential ele-
ment In the healthy growth of q
child's personality. No, I am not
afraid that would make him selfish.
A degree Of selfishness is essen
tial to healthy mental life. A
certain pride In oneself and ones
ability and possessions Is tonic to
mind and body. Everybody needs
that first. When that is secured
the outward going spirit has a
freer expression. One has to own
before one can give.
The great difficulty with this
situation Is the lack of space in
the modern home for children,
much less their possessions. The
new idea of the small house, the
labor-saving devices, the equip
ment for pleasure, has reduced the
space for living to its lowest terms
and children are the hardest
pressed. They of all people need
space, room for growth, for work
and play and there is none In
many homes today.
Sometimes when see these tiny
modern homes with one room for
the children and bunk beds In
that. where they have to go out
OF the room to turn around, I think
OF the old-style American home.
There was plenty of space for
everybody. The kitchen was i'm
mense. There was an attic. There
was cellar and a barn or shed,
There were no radios, no tele-
vision. no telephone, no central
heat. no plumbing to supply hot
water and toilet facilities. No
luxuries-but there was space,
room for living. room for growing
children.
For everything we get we must
give up something. Sometimes
| Ith thing we give up Is worth more
than what we get. Children. of
all people, need space for growth,
