District School Officials Pledge
EfforttoC Curb Student Addiction

charged with contributing to the
delinquency of minors.
Police described Howell as a
"go-between" for the youths in
the purchase of drugs. They said
he acted as a contact man with
Ia peddler. Narcotics Bureau
members, launched an immediate
hunt for the peddler who sold
through Howell.
The two youths were taken into
custody by officers who had been
watching Howell's place as a
suspected dope -peddling estab-
lishment.
The 19-year-old Carmello Jo-
Iseph Gicala of the 1000 block of
IBeachwood road, Lewisdale, Md,
was turned over to the United
States marshal as a parole violater
ion a former housebreaking charge.
The 17-year-old boy was held on
la juvenile charge.
Howell was placed in jail when
he was unable to post $4,000 bond
on the contributing charge.
Mr.. Collins, whose statements
touched off the promise to increase
efforts to detect dope addiction
and eliminate it in the schools,
denied published reports of dope
ring at Eastern High School.
Says Addiction Exists.
But, he warned, it is useless
to deny that drug addiction exists
among the pupils.
DR.. Corning pointed out that
special efforts have been started
to give teachers a better know
ledge of drug addiction. District
health officials have been asked to
lprepare a pamphlet describing the
first symptoms of addiction. The
pamphlet will be distributed to all
teachers.
Asked if the schools planned to
do anything through Parent
Teacher groups with the PAM
lphlet. DR.. Corning said that was
out of his jurisdiction. But, he
added, he believes District Com
missioner F. Joseph Donohue
plans action in that direction.
Mr.. Donohue said yesterday
that he hopes to inform parents
through the press and radio.

FBl Agents Soy
speeiaI Dispatch 10 The sior

FREDERICKSBURG. Va, July
IA Colonial Beach couple, ac-
cused by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation Of stealing six auto
mobiles from rental agencies and
selling them to pay for lavish va
cations, has been released under
81 500 bond each, officials an
nounced today. FBI Agent Rich
ard D. Auerbach, in charge of It's
Office. said the couple
admitted the thefts.
Agents of the FBI Office in Rich
mond said the arrest of Clarence
B. Marmaduke. 80. and his wife,
Betty Lou Ward Marmaduke, %,
ended an 18 months search across
Eastern United States. The series
of thefts, the FBI said, started
with the taking of car from a
rental agency in Daytona Beach,
Fla, on December 90, 1949. The
vehicle was recovered after being
sold in Washington. the FBI said.
In each of the six cases the
cars were rented by an attractive
young woman coming to the
agency alone. Agents nicknamed
the unknown operator "Queen of
the U-Drive It." The bureau first
knew a man was involved in the
thefts after he sold in Baltimore a
car rented in Columbia, S. C..
Later investigation showed both
a mansand woman were involved
in all the thefts.
Phony bills of sale were used
to prove ownership. The first
lead tying in the Marmadukes
were worthless checks written in
West Virginia under the alias
Betty Lou White, The same name
used to rent one of the cars, the
FBI said. Residents of that area
noted the similarity of the sig
nature to the maiden name of
Mrs. Marmaduke, a native of FL
kins, w. Va.
Marmaduke is a natice of CO.
lonial Beach. Residents there said
both are employed at the Naval
Proving Ground at Dahlgren.
They were bonded to appear in
Federal District Court in Rich
mond October /.
A formal warrant charges the
man with selling a stolen car in
Baltimore. while another warrant
charges the woman with stealing a.

u. S. Appraisers Start Work
As Burke Residents Wonder

Five real estate men forded
the creek at the entrance to
Mason Hirst's Burke (Va.) farm
and parked beneath the big shade
trees surrounding the main house.
They were the appraisers en-
ployed by the Government to put
a price on the $500 acres to be
acquired for Washington's new
auxiliary airport. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hirst's 80-acre farm was the first
viewed as the appraisal work
started yesterday
And like most other people
there abouts who stand to lose
their homes, the HirstS are anxi-
Gus to find out just how much
the Government thinks their
their place is worth.
Just think" lamented Mrs.
Hirst, after the appraisers called
her to make an appointment,
"it is the one place that we
never would put price on
Mr.. Hirst is in the real estate
business. They have q residence in
Annandale and other properties in
Fairfax County.
But this is the place Mason
wanted to retire to-" she con-
tinued.
Worked At Renovation.
When the Hirst's bought the
two-story hilltop frame house in
1941, all the floors had rotted.
Groundhogs had nested in the
kitchen. They meticulously re-
placed the decayed wood and
made the house a place they
were proud to call home. They
have been using the Burke resi-
dence only in the summer. but
Mrs. Hirst said they planned to
live there the year around. begin
ming this winter. They just had a
mechanical water pump installed
"You just can't put a price
On all the work we've put in this
place. Look at those treeS-how
:an you value them" she asked.
Five Month Job.
How many homes can be visited
in one day, the appraisers don't
know But they figure it will take
them the better part of five
to finish the job.
The appraisers have word of
consolation for the anxious home
owners.
Our instructions from the Gov
are to give the home
owners the benefit of the doubt
anytime we are undecided about
q value" said r. L. Kane. Alex
andria real estate man who is
one of the five appraisers.
The others are Selden WASH
lngton, of Alexandria. Charles
of Arlington, Richard B..
Hall of Washington, and Edward
&. Uhler. of Fairfax County.
Mr.. Kane said there are 81
houses within the site and about
40 different property owners. Be-
fore the appraisers finish, they
will look UP comparable sales,
measure house, cube them, figure
reproduction cost at present-day
prices, deduct depreciation and
walk over every acre that the
Government proposes to take. Each
Of the estimated 140 property
owners viii be visited.
Mr.. Kane said the Hirst prop
erty was viewed first because it is
at a corner of the airport bound
ary. Thickly settled areas, and
the smaller places, are to be ap-
praised first. he said, as they move
down the road from the Hirst
farm.
The Government is paying the
q total of $38,250.

A Desperate Situation

Palmer is facing its most important decision in set for April l0 The fate of Palmer will rest in the hands of the people who will decide whether the town will take its rehtfu place in the progress of the Terri tory or whether it will be "hos been." The present water shortage alone which has been critical since early this fall is in itself indicative of what will become of the town if adequate public utilities not pro- vided. Without water nothing can live, much less e town. No one can face life in very happy frame of
 mind when he is not able to start the day by washing small but important comforts are established pero- nenty for PoImertes. The Valley Frontiersmon pro- poses to st facts in the controversial water question and to give some cut and dried doto on it in forth coming issue to assist in the endeovor for satisfactory solution to the problem thot Palmer can go on to bigger and better things

would hardly start a new project.
 Fourth: The Coop has made surveys and consulted engineers who have worked out plan for the extension of our present water line to a new and ade- quate source of water. More land will be added to our present watershed and about quarter of mile of new pipe will have to be installed. This will not be too expensive, and a temporary line can be installed within the next month, we believe.
 Fifth: While there has not been any real reason to think that our water system has con- tamination at the source, (by the tests taken over period of years,) we were given a lot of publicity last fall when a new extension showed contamination in practically all tests taken. So, in order to satisfy the Depart ment of Health it is necessary to install chlorination equipment for the water used in Palmer. We
Valley frontiersman., 1951-03-09

have conducted a survey of our needs in this matter and new equipment will be installed as soon as it can be secured and climatic conditions permit. This will be an added expense and may cost as much as 5000.
 Sixth: In order to finance the water system improvements, we are offering General Obligation Bonds, bearing 6% interest and payable in five years. AS it seems unlikely that we can sell our water system, we feel that plan of this kind offers a remunera- tive safe means for you, as a cus- toner, to help finance this pro- ject. While it is true that the Co., Op lost over $6,000 on the water system, we feel that by making the improvements as outlined, we probably will recover these losses within the next five years.
 "In conclusion: It is up to the water users of Palmer to decide whether they want to accept this plan. If nothing is done within a short time it will be necessary to shut water off. Those who were connected last will be shut off first, until the water consump- tion is low enough to offer an adequate supply to those who are left. We would advise the differ ent water associations to start taking action before some drastic action is taken"
Valley frontiersman., 1951-03-09
COOP WATER RAISE
(Continued from Paoo n

action has been taken. We are very anxious to inform you as to the reasons.
 First: The Coop water system was built for its own use exclu- sively. Ten years ago there was no indication that Palmer would ever be anything but a small country town, and that the Co., Ops Civic Center would be the only population center. Then came World War and the Alas ka Highway, changing the pie ture entirely. As new people came in and new businesses were established, there was constant demand for the privilege of con- meeting to the Co-Op's water sys- tenn. This worked out all right for several years.
 Second: Last year the rainfall decreased by nearly two- thirds. Lakes and streams dried up for the first time in many years. The water table was lowered at the springs where our water intake is located, and thus cut down the available water supply. It appears that a shortage will occur for several months yet, or until a normal rainfall is reached. When water became scarce last summer, the Coop spent about $6,O00 making improvements SO that additional water could be secur- %ed. If this work had not been done last summer the water SUD- ply would have been much less than it has been.
 Third: In spite of any action that can be taken within the next two or three years, it appears that the Coop system will be the only supply. Therefore, it seems to us that it should be improved so that there will be water avail able in the meantime in any event. In order to construct inn provements that will assure an adequate supply for the next 5 years, it will be necessary for the water users to assist the Co., Op financially. The raise in water rates will only provide a small part of this. The total receipts for water service last year, were less than $4,000, and another $500
