Each SubStation provides
power for one or several areas,

sarily dependent upon one

the substations through the
switchboard insures this.
Thus, If one fails, the others

officials, who can point to
their network system of sub
stations for the answer.
The substations are not
homes, but they are so similar
to them-at least, from the
outside-that they fool many
people, which is one of the
things they are supposed to
do.
The primary function. how
ever, Is to provide electrical
power for the homes In the
area In which they are located.
High-voltage power flows
into the substation through
underground cables Then
automatically operating ma
chinery steps down" this
voltage to a lower level for
use Oy COIlSuuAcIS.
There are SO residential
type substations In the Pepco
network-17 In the District
and 10 In Maryland.
To a passerby, the substa-
tions look like homes of we'll
to-do individuals. They are
substantial brick houses, with
well-kept lawns. At night,
lights burn inside, adding to
the illusion of occupancy.
A further illusion Is created
by the appearance Of the win
dows. What seem to be Vene-
tian blinds or curtains are
really only limitations. They
are merely drawn on transite,
a composition of cement and
asbestos. The transite cover
ings back up the shatterproof
windows and hide the equip
ment inside.
A woman was so taken with
the exterior of one of the
houses, Pepco reports, that
she offered 5000 for it. Had
she stepped inside. however,
she would have realized that
her offer would equal only a
down payment on the value
of the furnishings" worth at
least $4,000, according to
Pepco.
Instead of a nicely furnished
home, she would have found
a compact mass of machinery,
dials, pipes and wires-all
functioning automatically.
In what would normally be
the living room, she would
have seen q transformer,
which steps down the incom-
ing l3,800 volts to 1900 volts.
and regulators to keep the
voltage constant.
Instead Of a dining room,
she would have found a room

Washington's fifth season of
free Neighborhood Concerts was
launched at Eastern High School
last night before an audience that
included an appreciative quota of
teenagers along with the adults.
The concert. first of series ar
ranged by The Star, was played
by the National Symphony Orches-
ira under its young conductor,
Howard Mitchell. It won approval
not only from its hearers, but also
from the conductor, who told the
audience: .-.
II don't know where you'll find
finer orchestra this year."
Students, parents and school
officials from nearby Prince
Georges County were added to
those from Washington who gath
cred to enjoy the music of great
composers.
The program, first in a series of
10 to be presented in District and
nearby Maryland schools, was
broadcast over WMAL, The Eve

The Metropolitan and Park Po-

every effoet will be made to pre-
vent any trouble. Last summer
the Anaenstia pool was closed
when trouble developed after
colored swimmers attempted to use
the pool.
In practice, Anacostia, McKin-

pools had been used by white
swimmers only until last year,
despite the announced Interior
Department policy of non-segre-
cation at the pools.
Colored swimmers began using
Mckinley last year also. The pool
stayed open without incidents, al
though most white swimmers
stopped using it.
The pools are under the direct
operation Of Government Services,

Memorial Week End Toll
Is 123 More Than Last

Long holiday week ends do take
more lives in accidents than ordi-
nary week ends. an Associated
Press survey showed today.
The survey was made to de-
termine whether holiday week
ends produced more accidental
deaths or whether it was just
assumed that they do because at
tention is focused upon them.
The study showed that 448
persons lost their lives over the
past week end as against 571
fatalities over the four day Me-
mortal Day holiday. The survey
covered identical periods from 6
pm. Friday until midnight Tues
day. Deaths totaled 1913 more
for the holiday period.
Over the past week end there
were 266 traffic fatalities over the
country compared with BAT over
the Memorial holiday period.
Drowning took 73 lives over last
week end as against 109 for the
holiday period while a variety of
causes were responsible for the
additional deaths.
