IFiremen Attempt Capture
|0f ESCAPED PET Monkey

HyattSville volunteer firemen
today went monkey-hunting in
EdmonSton, Md.
The object was Chee-Chee, q
pet monkey owned by Mr.. and
Mrs. Jesse Page. 4706 Decatur
street. EdmonSton.
The Pages returned home to-
day from a vacation trip to
Florida where they purchased
Chez Chez.
Mr.. Page said the monkey freed
himself from a. harness and took
off for the treetops. The Pages
summoned the Hyattsville Fire
Department.
Firemen first used hose in
trying to dislodge Chez -Chee from
a high maple tree, then went back
to their station for a ladder truck
but were unable to catch him
when he jumped to another tree.
Mr.. Pages efforts to lure Chez
Chez back home with bunch Of
bananas were futile.

Drought took q costly toll ir
many Eastern States today, in
cluding Maryland and Virginia
where a devastating dry spell may
cause higher milk prices.
The Virginia State Milk Com.
mission and the State Department
of Agriculture predicted an in.
crease in milk prices this fall be-
cause of ruined pastures and milk
production cuts resulting from
heat.
New England States. particu-
larry Massachusetts, and Connecti-
cut, battled against a month-long
drought which has damaged OF
threatened dairy products and q
variety of crops such as tobacco
potatoes and grain.
Fairfax County Farm Agent Joe
Beard said the milk industry in
the northern Virginia area Is
geared on q system Of grazing six
or seven months out of the year.
But. he said. unless rain comes
soon. grazing will be cut down to
only three or four months this
year.
In Maryland. Montg o m er y
County farm agent o. w. Ander-
son said. conditions SO far are
near the stage reached
during last years dry spell. But
some farmers are beginning to
feed silage and hay.
There hasn't been as much
from the drought as from
the heat-up to this point. High
temperatures caused a considera-

SANDY POINT, Md. July 81
Today it was just another bridge
but everybody was mighty proud
Yesterday the $44 million span
over Chesapeake Bay-before the
toll collectors took over-was the
scene of much exuberance anc
satisfaction with a hard task COM
pleted.
It started with speeches at the
western approach, near the five-
gate toll plaza.
Gov. McKeldin, former Gov
William Preston Lane, jr., Gov
Carvel of Delaware. former Sen
ator George H. Radcliffe. and
Herschel H. Allen, senior partner
of the engineering firm which
built the structure-all had words
of praise for those who had q
hand in completing the bridge.
Gov. McKeldin told the $4,000
spectators that Mr.. Lane should
get most of the credit. It was
under his administration that
construction Of the bridge was
pushed.
Ribbon Signals Opening.
Off to their left. as they spoke,
the bridge already was in use. A
group of ancient cars. owned by
members of the Maryland Auto
mobile Club, chugged across the
span to take part in the Eastern
Shore ceremonies.
Finally, hours past schedule,
the Western Shore speeches were
over and Gov. McKeldin and Mr..
Lane cut the black and gold rib
bons signaling its opening.
Official cars and those Of the
press and special guests lined up
flor the cavalcade to the Kent
Island side. Corpl. Menash E
Katz of the Maryland State High
way Patrol, a master of protocol
decided who went first and who
came next and next until the
autos of the dignitaries were in
lplace.
Destroyer Passed Below.
At 1:O5 pm, the caravan
moved. Snub-nosed tugs. sleek
pleasure craft. sturdy work boats
and a United States destroyer
greeted the autos with booming
claxons and changing bells.
The auto stopped for photos and
the TV cameras. and again at the
high center suspension span as
the destroyer, her white-clad
crew on deck at rigid attention
lpassed below. From 200 feet up
the destroyer seemed akin to 9
canoe. The cavalcade crossed ir
an hour and S minutes.

parade. But the ceremonies there
were delayed as the official party
waited for spectators to arrive
from the Western Shore aboarC
the free buses.
i At about pm, the ceremonies
were over, and the business od
making the bridge another link
lin Maryland's network of high
ways began.

out of commission and it was
feared that the Governor would
miss his planned sendoff for "Mr.
First" t"-Omero c. Catan of New
York.
Waited SO Hours.
Mr.. Catan had waited 36 hours
for the opportunity of paying the
first toll. He waited an extra
five minutes for the Governor.
Then, at 6:06 pm, Mr.. Catan
handed his $1.65 to a toll taker-
81 40 for his auto and Is cents
for a passenger. his son-and the
bridge was open for business.
Gov. McKeldin shook hands
with all in the first and almost
first cars and then shouted:
Lets start rolling in the
dough-"
Some travellers from the Eastern
Shore made the last ferry trip
from Matapeake, then turned in
line to return home via the bridge.
Motorists formed a long line on
the other side of the bridge, too.
BY 6:21 p.m., westbound cars
were backed up almost half mile
on the bridge-past the ferry
|slips-waiting to pay their toll.
BY 6:33 pm, however, the waiting
line had been cut down almost to
the toll booths, and few minutes
later there were hardly any wait
ing.
During the first Is hours. an
estimated $500 vehicles had been
checked through. A toll collector
said the volume was about the
same "as the normal ferry load"
of 1875 cars an hour.
