Once an EyesOre.
Before the county took over two
years ago, the place was a mud
hole, with oil drums, clothes lines
and battered cars cluttering up
what was supposed to be the
lawns, she said.
Today, the project is far from
being an eyeSore. The buildings
ere wearing fresh paint. Oil
drums have been put in the rear,
elong with uniform clothes lines.
The area is well grassed, and the
shrubs are neatly trimmed. Huge
circular flower beds are found
throughout the development. e4
"All of this has encouraged the
tenants to keep up their own
apartments" Mrs. Robert E. Cox
of 9516 Sligo Greek parkway said.
The Coxes are old-timers in the
development but hope to get out
soon with the purchase of home
of their own.
But the planning commissions s

$4,000 Suit
In Steri|ity Case
Ready for Jury
Wife Said WiIIiums
Agreed to Operation,
Doctor Testifies
By Jock Jonas
Stov SfoS% enyrnsnan.lnn%

FRONT ROYAL, Va, Aug. 16.
The Williams-H -Hansbrough ster-
ility case today was to go to a
Warren County Circuit Court jury
Of five men and two women.
The defense against the ac-
cuSation that DR.. Lyle T. Hans
brough performed an operation
on Mrs. Ella Williams, %, to make
her sterile without the consent
of her husband closed last night.
Special Judge Hamilton Haas had
ordered a night session-which
lasted an hour and a half-so
testimony could be finished.
Mrs. Williams husband, James
T.. 26-year-old electrician. is ask
ing $4,000 damages from the
physician, a surgeon at Front
Royal Community Hospital.
Doctor Testifies.
DR.. Hansbrough contended,
from the witness chair yesterday.
that he performed the operation
with the consent of the wife and
in the belief that the husband
also had given his consent.
The original accusation against
the physician that he had made
Mrs. Williams permanently
sterile" has been amended. It'll
now reads Temporarily sterile.''|
Mrs. Williams gave birth to her
fourth child two weeks ago
about q year after the suit was
Aled. Mr.. and Mrs. williams areI
Ffotestants.
A parade Of witnesses was called
yesterday to support DR.. Hans
brough's claim. Among them was
DR.. Elizabeth E. Sherman, Front
Royal practitioner since 1884, who
admitted she had done a little
detective work for DR.. Hansbrough
$50 the truth would come out"
She said she visited Mrs. Mamie
v. Scrivener. Mrs. Williams
mother-in-law, sometime before
the case came to trial "to get
evidence"
DR.. Sherman was the physician
for Mrs. Williams when her first
and third children were born.
Asked About Operations
The operation was performed
on June 8, 1850, or June 9-the
stories differ. DR.. Sherman testi-
11ed Mrs. Williams had asked her
about the possibility of an opera
tion to make her sterile. She said
Mrs. Williams told her she felt
she was having too many children
too close together.
DR.. Hansbrough admitted that
normally the consent of the hus-
band and wife are taken for such
operations, the fee for which, he
SAID. is 500.
2 How is it that you did not get
the consent in this particular
case." Attorney Alfred M. Hick-
man asked on cross-examination.
"As she had said, he (the hus-
band had agreed to it, and I had
no reason not to believe her." DR..
Hansbrough replied.
He said that, when Mr.. Williams
came to see him the day after the
operation, he talked to Williams
like a father to a son. explaining
the whole thing to him."
Operation Explained.
Mr.. Williams declared from the
stand earlier that DR.. Hansbrough
had been abusive.
Before Mr.. Williams lawyers
closed their case yesterday,
promised birds-and-bees lesson
was given the jurors and the
judge as DR.. Frank Daniels ex-
planned the process by which a
sterilization operation is per-
formed.
The question before the jury ap-
parently was to be:
Did Mr. Williams agree orally
to the operation, as DR.. Hans
brough's witnesses contend, or
didn't he, as Mr.. Williams wit
neSSeS contend?

We of this age are using up the

it might develop in q material

Your god is what you think OF

faith in the congregations mission
and future.
It was Mr.. Lambs vision and
pertinacity that developed the
congregation from a Sunday
School group. In January. 1916
the need for a Bible school.in the
community was discussed by sew
eral mothers. On February 3, IL
children met in Mr.. Lambs home
to study the Bible and to start the
school. Within a short time nearly

were attending the sessions.

Buy Army Building.
By 1850 the need for more space
forced the congregation to con-
slider putting up a church. Mem
bers learned that some Army bar
racks were being sold at Fort Bel
voir. A committee inspected one
of the barracks and decided to
buy it for 81 900.
They put down a small cash
payment and wondered how they
were going to raise the money
within IS days. To their surprise
and Joy, a check for $1,000 sent
by airmail special delivery from
Ia friend in Florida solved the
problem.
The structure was dismantled
by members at Fort Belvoir, and
then put up. mainly by volunteer
labor, on the church site. Mr..
