No Job for a Stay-at-Home
DIPLOMATIC COURIER:

MYTH summer just around
w the corner, Mr.. and Mrs.
Guy P. Boutte, 4121 North
Twenty-first street, Arlington,
are planning their vacation
probably a little trip to New
Orleans.
Most of us are planning our
vacations, too, but for Mr..
Boutte to plan a trip is about
like a stenographer planning
to spend her vacation taking
shorthand. 1t would seem he
would prefer to stay home.
You see, Mr.. BOutte, as a
courier in the diplomatic
service of the State Depart
ment, has travelled 3.5 million
miles in the last 10 years.
That is a lot of miles. It is
equal to approximately 140
times around the world.
Mr.. Boutte, who joined the
State Departments code room
in 1886, switched to the courier
service in 194l. Since then, he
and Mrs. Boutte have lived in
Berne, Paris and Cairo, as well
as Washington, and the coun-
tries and cities over the globe
that he has not visited would
make a very, very short list.
Mr.. Boutte's first trip-shall
we say as tenderfoot?-was
from here to Norfolk to de-
liver a trunk of code books to
the military authorities. Mrs.
Boutte went along and they
went by the overnight boat
on the>Potomac. Both were so
nervous over the mission that
neither could sleep. Now a trip
to BuenoS Aires or Rio de
Janeiro-Pffff! Another day,
another dollar.
In 1912, after the Bouttes
had been sent to Berne, where
he was attached to the Lega-
ton, he was sent to Madrid.
In the meantime, the Ger

other was.
Being a courier does mean
being away from home a great
deal.
IN say it does" interrupted
Mrs. Boutte, who works for the
Voice of America. We've been
married Is years and I figure
he's been gone eight of them"
That boils down to about
20 days away from home each
month, Maybe that's why they
are looking forward to that
little trip together down to
New Orleans. w. j. M.

mans moved into Vichy,
France, and MIR. Boutte was
stranded. It was more than
two years before he and Mrs.
Boutte were able to live to-
gether again-this time in
Paris.
They were stationed there
for two years and more than
once he heard the heavy can

Temporary Emergency
Homes For Infants
Needed, 1t Is Learned

Temporary emergency homes for
infants of one year and under are
urgently needed by the Social Serv-
ice League of Montgomery County,
according to information from the
Community Chest and Council
offices in Silver Spring. Increas-
ing demands for the services of
this Red Feather family agency
have created this present need, and
the Community Chest and Council
was asked to bring it to the atten-
ton of the public.
Louis L. Orgera, executive direc-
tor of the Montgomery County
Chest, pointed that all such homes,
before acceptance by the Social
Service League, must meet GER
tain legal standards set up by the
State of Maryland. He urged
residents interested in offering
their homes to get in touch at
once with Mrs. Polly Alley, execu-
tive director of the Social Service
League, so plans may be made for
the necessary interviews of pros
pective emergency parents" and
inspections of the homes. Head
quarters of the League are located
in Rockville, but their services, like
those of all Montgomery County
Chest agencies, are countrywide.

to join the new Northwest free
way relocation of Route 240) and
the other would go northeast to
hook up with the new Columbia
pike to Baltimore (relocation of
Route 29).
In addition, an express highway
would leave the George Washing
ton Memorial Parkway along the
Potomac and extend up Cabin John
Branch to join the relocated Route
240.
Mr.. Lee pointed out, however,
that the plan is opposed by the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission and the Regional
Highway Planning Committee. The
latter, he said, favors bringing
Route 240 into Washington through
the Landon School, Wood Acres
and Sumner developments.
The Planning Committees idea,
he commended, would "mutilate"
existing neighborhoods and serious
ly affect several school and play
ground sites, if carried through.
But the Maryland commissions
proposal, he insisted, "would fol-
low natural barriers and split no
neighborhoods. The increased con-
struction cost would be somewhat
compensated by the fact that the
right-of-way is either already in
public ownership or is undevel-
oped." :
Also revealed for the first time
in the report is the fact that con-
struction Of three community CEN
ter buildings is underway on the
Lynnbrook, East Kensington and
Takoma Park Recreation Centers.
They are part of the commissions
park and recreation system, which
now comprises 1,543 acres, ex-
Guiding school Fairgrounds and
park areas owned by municipali-
ties, Mr.. Lee reported.
He said there still is an "exten-
sive" need for acquiring future
sites for recreation centers in other
parts of the suburban area. These
include Oakview, Forest Estates,
Turkey Branch, Rosemary Hills,
Maplewood, Whitehall, Glen Echo
Heights and Bannockburn.

The Marshall Walkers of Gath
ersburg, who at the beginning of
the week had only two grandchil-
dren, now have just twice that
many. They became grandparents
on Monday of boy and a girl
but the newcomers are not twins.
When Mrs. Walker made long

wife of the Rev. Frank Hoadley,
in Hartford, Conn, to break the
news that Margaret's brother and
his wife Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Walk
er of Gaithersburg had a new baby
girl born that morning, she found
there was also news in the Hoadley
household. Mrs. Hoadley had Just
given birth to a son-John Frank
Hoadley. The Walkers have
named their new daughter Barbara
Ann.
Marshall Walker is a Gathers

Tuesday saw unexpected Senate
confirmation of Arthur H. Brice,
State Motor Vehicles Commission
er, as S7,500-a-year chairman of
the Tidewater Fisheries Commits
sion.
Appointment of Mr.. Brice to the
post was eagerly sought by Gov
ernor William Preston Lane, Jr.
on his last full day in office before
Governor-elect McKeldin was
sworn in. Mr.. Brice, who is 81
years old, is veteran Eastern
Shore Democratic leader. Senate
confirmation of his four-year APP
pointment was by a 90 to 5 vote,
with all 10 Republcations present
voting AYE" Senator Dewitt s.
Hyde (R., Montgomery, was re-
ported absent on other business.
Republicans had been expected to
form solid bloc of opposition to
selection of Mr.. Brice. A possible
explanation lay in the fact that
in long list of eleventh hour APP
pointments, requiring Senate con-
firmation, Governor Lane left sew
eral jobs open for filling by Gov
ernor-elect McKeldin. Mr.. Brice
succeeds David H. Wallace who had
been asked to take a position in
the seafood industry.

fines brought the total for the
month to $892.55. 1t is thought
that additional free parking space
in Rockville and unfavorable
weather conditions accounted for
the decrease in meter receipts.
Councilman Weddle recommend
ed that brighter lights be installed
just outside of Rockville, and that
lights be installed in Warren's Ad-
dition; along Viers Mill Road from
Rockcrest to Twin Brook; and
from James Viers place on Route
24O as far as Agnew's Inn; also
that part of Twin Brook, not
lighted at the present time.
A street light will be installed
at the new Rockcrest bridge. Also
approved were lights for Argyle.
V. Van Buren,, Stonestreet Ave-,
and for Lincoln Park. Lights for
the 24O bypass had been previous
ly approved.
Several requests for exemptions
from parking meter charges were
refused. However, it was explained
that during the loading and I'M
loading of supplies, it would not be
necessary to put money in meter.
Three unpaid bills from Fon-
taine Keys for clearing weeds
from property where owners failed
to do so were referred to Town
Attorney Barnard Welsh for nee
essary action. According to an
ordinance all property owners are
responsible for clearing their land
of weeds, or pay to have it cleared.
Traffic signs for Viers Mill Road

flying the 80 miles speed limit and
the school zone, will be requested

action would be taken until the
Chief Engineer of the State Board

ment on the subject.
