Mount Calvary Church
Dedicates New School

The new 100000 school and
convent of Mount Calvary Catho-
lie Church was dedicated yester-
day at Forestville, Md.
The Most Rev. Patrick A.
O'Boyle, Archbishop of Washing
ton, presided at the services.
The Very Rev. Msgr. John S.
Spence, director of education for
the Archdiocese of Washington,
delivered the sermon.
Both Archbishop O'Boyle and
Msgr. Spence lauded the Rev.
Peter Paul Rakowski, pastor of
the church, for his efforts in rails

vent. The Sisters of Notre Dame
will teach the 420 students.

builders were their architects.
recent $4,000 mansions and
mammoth brand-new apartment
developments. concrete pavements
and dirt roads, steep hills, woods
and vegetable gardens.
To w. Ledru Koontz, president
of the Anacostia National Bank
it seems only yesterday that
Arthur E. Randle had a big sign
at the eastern terminus of his
Toonerville trolley that crossed
the river ION the old Pennsylvania
avenue steel-truss bridge. Mr.
Koontz remembers it's message
word for word. It was:
Capitals of all nations become
their largest cities-Watch for a
city at Randle Highlands
The area advertised was then a
forest.
"I have a warm spot in my
heart for old Col. Randle.'' the
banker said. II was a Boy Scout
then and he used TO let us use the
woods for our jamborees.
Liked Hunting.
'He liked hunting and he would
come back from the Rockies with
a great bag of game. He would
give us bear steaks and slices of
antelope or bison hump to cook
over our campf1res and what a
thrill that gave us.
THE woods were full of chest
nuts and chinquapins. We had a
wonderful time"
Evening star., 1950-09-11

The area is all built up. Below
| 1t, entirely surrounded by newer
houses and apartments is Twining
City. Older residents remember
when Robert F. Bradbury ran a
general store at the eastern end
of the bridge. Bradbury was a
Iyeoman in the Navy who made a
real estate fortune after he had
served his hitch. He built the first
house in Twining City in 1890.
The section probably got. its
name from the then Engineer
Commissioner of the District. Will
liam Johnson Twirling, who died
in 1892. After Twining City the
former bluejacket developed Brad
bury Heights to the north of
Pennsylvania avenue on top of
the ridge.
Anacostia, which strict con-
StructionistS limit to relatively
small area south of the Eleventh
street bridge, still has some of the
institutions of an integral COM
munity. The bank over which Mr..
KoontZ presides is a $14 million
affair and independent. Unlike
other neighborhood banks it is
not a branch of one of the big
downtown temples of finance.
Has Own Clubs.
Anacostia has its own luncheon
clubs, Kiwanis and Lions. And it
takes pride in the fact that alone
among the 50-odd neighborhood
communities of Washington, its
name was fixed by Congress.
The name is a Latinization CIV
en- by the Jesuits who accompanied
the first Maryland colonists to the
Nacochtank Indians who had a
village on the East Branch of the
Potomac (the Anacostia) which
Capt. John Smith mentioned in
his True Relation" published in
1908. How the Jesuits made Ana
costa out Of the name is one of
those mysteries of philology.
Evening star., 1950-09-11

The man who played the lead
ing role in that fight will observe
his 84th birthday on the 23rd OF
this month. He is Dr. George
C. Havenner, a physician who
brought many of AnacoStia' S
citizens into this world, and who
made a comfortable fortune in
Anacostia real estate. He lives
off Rock Greek Park in a large
new brick home at 1912 Albemarle
street NV.
DR.. Havenner is the man credited
with getting the District govern
ment to transform the miasmic
fats into Anacostia
Park. He says that his hardest
fight was to get modern street
lighting for the area. He car
ried on the fight as president of
the Anacostia Citizens Associa-
ton. a post he held for 20 years.
Reservoir Constructed.
He also got the District to con-
struct the reservoir in Fort Stan
ton Park. Up until a late date,
the water supply Of many resi-
dents in that part of the District
was the backyard well.
For years the population of the
area has grown faster than schools
could be built for it's children.
At the opening of this school
year it was announced that half
day schedules, to make each dask
serve two children, would be the
rule in three southeast elementary
schools. The school situation is of
much concern to the people of
the area and for years they have
been bringing pressure on the
Board of Education through their
citizens associations to correct
it.
The little valley between Ana
costa and st. Elizabeths Hospital
through which the Military High
way to Andrews Air Force Base
now runs, has always been a
colored neighborhood. Beyond the
Evening star., 1950-09-11

ridge it is quite rural with houses
and gardens and open spaces .that
look much more like city than
country. The Government has
constructed the Barry Farms
housing project in this area on
the slope between Nichols avenue
and the river.
Marshall Heights Project.
A project to rearrange individu-
ally owned lots in Marshall
Heights at the extreme eastern
corner of the District was killed
by Congress. Private capital has
not been interested in the unde-
veloped areas now occupied by
Negroes but the Negroes from
these areas and from the center
of the city have been interested
in acquiring the urban houses
in the neighborhood.
There was a time that the Ma
val Gun Factory across the river
was Anacostia's one industry. But
today the Governments military
operations on the fats along the
east bank of the Potomac at the
Naval Receiving Station, the Ma
val Air Station. Boiling Field and
Bellevue Naval Laboratory, are
the equivalent of a great industrial
operation. And st. Elizabeths Hos
pital is a large community in itself
with a population of inmates and
employees of more than 10000.
Just as Fairfax Village at Penn
Sylvania and Alabama avenues
Sc. and Fairlawn Village on the
old Guide tract were built in an
ticipation of the Sousa Bridge
vast apartment developments were
constructed at the very southern
tip of the District, across from
Alexandria in anticipation of the
new South Capitol street bridge.
From now on, real estate men
predict, the big changes will come
in rural Maryland south and east
of the District line.

The section across the bridge
from the Navy Yard was developed
as Uniontown by a real estate
syndicate before the Civil War.
After the war a Postmaster Cen
eral restored the old name. There
must have been some dispute
about it because in 1886 Congress
passed an act decreeing that it
'be known and designated as
Uniontown."
Then as now there were real
estate men who believed that
everyone should own home. John
Clagett Proctor, The Stars his
torian, came upon the prospectus
issued by the syndicate in 1854.
1t read in part:
"Size of lots. "a feet by 130 deep,
all fronting in a wide street, for
the very low price of SIS, payable
in small inStallments of SO a
month. This price includes the
grading of the street, paving the
gutter, planting trees. etc."
Once Owned BY Marbury.
The land was once owned by
William Marbury who gained i'm
mortality in an opinion written by
Chief Justice Marshall entitled
"Marbury VS.. Madison" the opin-
ion which started the doctrine of
judicial review of acts of Con-
greSS.
But the top historical incident
associated with Anacostia is John
Wilkes Booths crossing of the
Navy Yard bridge on the night of
April IA, 1865, after he assassi-
mated Lincoln. There he was
joined by David E. Herold. the
moronic 19-year older he had
enlisted in the conspiracy, for
the painful ride to the home of
DR.. Samuel A. Mudd on what is
now Route S. where Booths
broken leg was set.
Another item which is a favor

an invitation to become presi-
dent OF the West Pennsylvania
Conference of Adventists.
He is expected to resign his
post as head of the Virginia

The ridges east and south OF

ring of forts that surrounded
Washington in the Civil War.

Bridge Built in sos.
The post-Civil War history of
Anacostia and the entire area is
one of growth following every i'm
provement in the bridges and
transportation. The plank bridge
that Booth crossed was replaced
ny oil IL OA1 d1Ad hlooO4AJ Va AdSC
in the mid-70s. That bridge was
replaced by the present structure
in 1907.
The steel truss structure carry
ing Pennsylvania avenue across
was built in the late 80s. 1t was
replaced BY the Sousa Bridge
which was opened in 1899. The
South Capitol street bridge. an
entirely new avenue to Southern
Maryland, was opened last year.
There was a horse Car line in
the old days from the foot OF
Asylum Hill' to the Navy Yard
main gate. In 1898 the tracks
across the Navy Yard bridge were
powered with overhead electric
trolley wires and the tracks were
extended to the District line at
Blue Plains. Buses have been SUBJ
Stituted since.
AS the poulation increased the
big fight was to get the Commis-
sioners and Congress to give An
acostia and its enviorns modern
city improvements.

eff the activities of the so-called
citizens group during the hear
ings and some of its public ex-
pressions which sought to
impugn the integrity of members

of the discord and disharmony
which the proponents of the
county manager form deem SO
important a part of their cam

does not augur we'll for conditions
in Fairfax County no matter what
form of government is adopted.
MANY of us have remained si-
lent under the torrent of abuse and
Misrepresentation levelled at our

But we cannot remain silent
any longer and we offer the state
ment of the so-called Fairfax
County Federation of Citizens As
jociations as the first exhibit of
the type of campaigns which we
will have in Fairfax if county
wide voting is to prevail and If
the majority of the people in each
district are prevented from select
ing their own supervisor
Half Way Step?"
1.-THE Citizens Committee speaks
of our. recommendation as half
waySstep Half way toward what?
If by this is meant that we are
recommending halfway step to-
ward dictatorial type of county
manager government, then We re-
spectfully submit that we are not
moving half way or a quarter of
the way or a single inch in that
direction.
"We believe in the elective Sys-
tenn. We believe that the people
can be relied upon to choose good
supervisors and we are willing to
trust the peoples representatives
to make, upon recommendation of
the county executive, the appoint
ments to the various departments
of county government.
Eve cannot agree that it is
democratic or efficient to take
away from the peoples elected
representatives the power to select
the important officers who come
between the people and their
county government. The county
executive form preserves the dem
ocratic principle of bestowing the
real power and authority to make
appointments of department heads
in the Board of Supervisors.
1--WE hold also that it is late in
the day in America for groups to
argue for the right of numerical
majority to ride roughshod over
J minority groups especially in a
county like Fairfax, where the
social and economic interests are
varied and where the protection of
minorities must remain the very
essence of progressive govern
! ment."
