Details Expected Soon
On Costs and Plans
For Southwest Project
By George Beveridee

The District RedevelOpmen1
Land Agency hopes within the
next few days to come up with
new cost estimates and detailed
operating plans for the frs
project in the redevelopment o1
Southwest Washington.
This data will be submitted i'm
imediately to the Housing and
Home Finance Agency. The prac-
|tical effect of this action will be
to ask the HHFA for Federal
Imoney-prpbably in the neighbor-
hood of Sc million - to help
finance the job. r
The Federal funds, already ap-
Ipropriated by Congress, will
amount to about two-thirds of the
cost Of buying land in the So
called Project B area, preparing
lit for resale to private builders
and administering the plan. The
District. largely through capital
improvement grants. will furnish
the rest of the money.
Over Biggest Hurdle.
The first major hurdle in the
big face-liftins operation was
cleared yesterday. when the Dis
trict Commissioners approved de-
tailed plans about how the 16-
block. 76.6-acre area, bounded by
E. I, Fourth and South Capitol
streets, will be rebuilt.
The new plans being drawn UP
by RIA, in addition to revised cost
estimates. will tie down more def
nitely that agency's ideas on re-
housing displaced families and
carrying out intracacies of thu
administrative job.
In one change, the RIA has
decided to give builders IS days
from yesterday in which to SUBJ
NIT bids for parts or all of the
rebuilding, job Originally, the
builders were To have submittec
estimates and plans within sc
DAYS.
Before anal contracts are signed
with the private builders. the RIA
board will hold a hearing to ex-
plain to the public its reasons fol
accepting the building plans. II
is possible that number of build
lers may participate in the pro-
gram. which calls for between 75C
and 900 low and middle income
housing units.
Actually, however. no definite
steps will be taken until the HHFA
agrees to the financial details.
Clears Way for Purchases.
That action will clear the way
for the RIA to begin buying par.
GELS Of land in the B area. II
possible. the purchase amount.
will be negotiated. If not. they
will be set in court.
The land agency then will begir
its toughest job-finding new
homes for families which mus
leave the area. In accordanc.
with the building plan, a schedule
probably will be set up in ordel
to vacate few blocks at a time
None of the 1.345 families will bt
forced to move, however, unit
suitable new dwellings are found

1862 WAS WORST
POLIO YEAR IN .
OUR HISTORY
County Chairmen Named For
Work in Dare, Beaufort
and Hyde; Campaign
Begins Jan. 2

The workers for funds to fight
polio have a challenging record on
which to begin their campaign for
the much needed financial aid. 1t
is that 1852 was the worst polio
year in our history.
Chairmen for counties in the
campaign which begins January 2,
are as follows: Beaufort, o. M.
Winfield, Box LOG, Washington, N.
c.; Hyde, N. w. Shelton of Swan
Quarter; Dare, Helen D. Ward of
Manns Harbor.
Thad Eure, Secretary Of State
of North Carolina is State Chair
man and Governor Scott Honorary
Chairman. Basil O'Connor is Ma
tional chairman. Robert w. Madry
of Chapel Hill is State Press Chair
man.
An estimated $28,OO0,00O in
March of Dimes funds was used
during 1852 to provide care for the
stricken, an increase of 100000
over 1851 for similar purposes.
A total of 2,175 emergency
shipments of iron lungs was made
from the National Foundations
seven respirator supply depots-
more than the number supplied
during the three previous years
combined, including the disastrous
1949 epidemic.
More than 500 hotpack machines
and $50 rocking beds" were dis
patched to emergency areas, where
the deadly bulbar type polio often
constituted as high as % per cent
of all cases.
Millions of dollars worth of life
saving emergency equipment was
pressed into service to combat the
epidemic, most of it to be used
over and over again, transferred
from one critical area to another
as the epidemic mushroomed
across the entire nation.
Nurses numbering 1900, and 100
physical therapists, were recruited
and transported to emergency
areas with March of Dimes funds.
Throughout the year, the National
Foundation continued to support
the education and training Of ad-
ditional medical personnel to meet
the rapidly growing needs of the
American people.

MANY GROUPS PRESENT
CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS

The singing of Christmas carols
on the courthouse lawn in Manteo
Sunday night drew large crowd,
despite the inclement weather, and
many voices were raised in songs
of the Yuletide season ,as they
were led by John H. Long. Another
Christmas, it is hoped that the oc-
casion will attract an even larger
crowd. The nativity scene erected
on the courthouse lawn furnished
the background for the musical
event.
Prior to the carol sing, Christ
mas programs were presented at
the various churches. The young
people of Mount Olivet Methodist
