Keeping Track of 7 Children
is Full lime Job for Mrs. Hale

Worry and strain have put the
lines of 40 years on Mrs. Hale's
face. She has just turned 81.
Keeping track of seven chill
dren, all under IL, is a full-time
job. especially now that school
Is out.
A muddy frog pool is an en-
ticing spot for the Hale chill.
dren. They have no toys and
must make their own fun. But
Mrs. Hale doesn't allow Paul and
Juanita there. She worries about
their safety.
"I've told them all never to
go near that hole" she says.
But I can't be around all the
time to watch them"
One reason is that she has to
walk 2 miles to the nearest store
from their Fairfax County home.
$40 a Week.
Not that the $40 a week her
husband usually earns as a con-
struction laborer will allow
overly much for food. Sometimes.
when the weather is good, Mr..
Hale can earn as much as SIS
a week.
But the food bill adds up to
$35 a week. and payment on the
land they are buying comes to
SIS q week. They are seven
payments behind. The Hales
can't afford the necessities, much
less luxuries. ::
The children drink highly
diluted powdered milk.
Their home is a three-room
structure that Mr.. and Mrs. Hale
built with their own hands.
There is no plumbing. Until last
March, there was no electricity.
The family sleeps in two iron
beds and narrow crib.
The Hales hope to dig a we'll
when they finish paying for their
land. That may take five years.
Until then, Mrs. Hale will con-
tinue carrying water from 800
yards away.
Mother Not Well.
She herself is not well. County
medical authorities would put
her in a hospital, but she has
postponed going because of Paul
and Jaunita. Paul is 10 and
Jaunita II. Relatives would take
care of the five younger chill
dren if some provision could be
made for the two older ones.
IF I went to a hospital" says
Mrs. Hale, "the first thing they
would do would be to go jump
in that dirty pool. We can't af-
ford polio on top of everything
else"
A vacation at summer camp
for IL days would be a fine So
luton.

Tears of Maid and Mistress
Melt Cell Bars for Thief

The aceuser joined the ac-
cused in tears yesterday, and
the judge suspended sentence.
The plaintiff was a College
Park (Md.) woman, who had
charged her maid with stealing
money around the house.
But Mrs. Irene B. Walker, an
economist with the Mutual Sc
curity Agency. said she was con-
vinced her maid is a klepto-
maniac and should not be jailed.
Mrs. Walker suggested the
court send the maid to a psy-
chiatrist, instead.
Hyattsville Trial Magistrate
Theodore L. Manga disagreed.
He said the maid, Mrs. Ruth
Naomi Smith, 33, colored. of
Elkridge, Md, does not have
kleptomania and does not need
psychiatry.

The maid burst into SobS. So
did her mistress. Mrs. Walker
recovered enough to plead with
Judge Miazga to relent. She said
her maid has a 14-year-old
daughter who needs her. The
maids husband has tuberculosis
and cannot work. and the de-
fendant'S father is also Ill, said
Mrs. Walker.
Judge Miazga had not heard
about the dependents before that.
He recessed the hearing for sew
eral hours, meanwhile sending
the maid back to her cell.
The maid was charged with
stealing 13 silver dollars, wedding

admitted the thefts. But the
hearing concerned only the sill

she didn't want to build up a ma

only to have her treated fol

Judge Miazga changed his
sentence to six months in the
women's reformatory and sus-
pended it. He put the maid on
probation for that time.
There was one more angle in
the case.

Council Hears Varied
Reactions 10 Program
For Laying Sidewalks

Montgomery County'S proposed
3.5-mile sidewalk construction
program-the biggest in the
county councils history-drew
mixed and strong reactions yes
terday from residents who would
pay the bills.
The package program would
include sidewalks for most of
the streets in Alta Vista terrace,
Hendry Estates and Wyngate
subdivisions. All three lie west
of Georgetown road in Bethesda.
Despite the comparatively low
cost of $2.89-a-front foot, many
residents opposed the project
presented by Mason Butcher,
county director of public works.
80 Attend Hearing.
Some 80 persons turned out for
the hearing, and more than half
of them spoke during the hear
ing which took more than 212
hours to complete.
Leading proponents of the
project was Karl G. Kessler of
1927 Admission road. Mr.. KeSsler
said the sidewalks are needed
for safety. He presented photos
of two children seriously injured
in the area by cars-one while
she was skipping rope and the
other while riding a tricycle. on
the narrow streets.
P. r. Karr, 5903 Beach avenue,
said he favored the program to
"Save wear and tear on mothers
who have an eye out for chill
dren playing in the streets.
Short Lawns Cited.
George F. Stearns, jr., 582s

council the sidewalks would
force people to live in fishbowls
since the front lawns in the
area are so short. The sidewalk.
would be on property already
owned by the county.

Lane
Parking Lot
Purchase Voted
Acts on Controversial
Site, Weighs Offer
Of Armory Lot

The Montgomery County
Council yesterday approved the
purchase for 100000 Of a hotly
disputed parking lot site on
Edgemoor lane just west of Wis
conSin avenue and East-WeSt
highway, Bethesda.
The site had been bitterly op-
posed by the Edgemoor Citizens
Association, some Of whose men,
bers said they would rather shop
In Silver Spring than see Be-
thesda's business center grow.
The council yesterday also
took under consideration an Of

owners Of the lot, put a $500, 900
price tag on this 4.5-acre lot
capable Of handling 600 cars.
Breach Of Faith Charged.
The Edgemoor lane lot abuts
an apartment house and lies di-
rectly across the street from
business houses. Residents at a
hearing last month had charged
a breach of faith, contending
they had been told the apart
ment house would be a buffer
zone between the business CEN
ter and their area.
The county got the lot for 50
a square foot-considered a good
price in the expanding business
section. The lot, sought by the
Bethesda Chamber of Commerce,
will handle more than $50 cars.
The controversial armory lot
Is a good buy even at the half
million dollar price. David Scull,
president Of the Silver Spring
Board Of Trade. told the council.
Center Site Promised.
The trade group also promised
to turn over to the county with
out cost a 70,00O-square-foot
tract on Colesville road for use
for q community center If the
armory lot is bought with the
businessmen's parking lot funds.
The package offer has been
approved by the Allied Civic
Group of Silver Spring, although
the organization made it clear
it would prefer that two-thirds
OF the arnnory lot be used for a
library and civic center, with
the remainder being reserved for
parking.
Council President George F.
Nesbitt said several suggestions
for the Armory lot use have been
made. He said the offer of the
Board Of Trade and the planners
would not be considered until
after July 4.
Hearing Required.
Before the lot can be bought
for parking purposes. the council
must hold a public hearing on
the issue, Mr.. Nesbitt said.
Councilman Harold F. Ham
mond said one suggestion re-
ceived would call for the lot to
be bought by the county, which
then would rezone part of it to
commercial and resell this Npor-
tion to pay for the entire cost
Of the tract.
Mr.. Scull replied such a pro-
posal would not help solve the
parking problem with which
businessmen now operating are
confronted.
If the lot is purchased for
parking purposes, the business
men will pay for it through the
parking lot district tax.

"DESiREE" STAYS HIGH ON
BEST SELLER LIST

"Desiree," by Annemarie Selin-
ko, is enjoying brisk circula-
ton at the Browning branch IL
brary. 1t stays high on the best
seller list as one of the most pop
ular historical novels of the year.
Napoleon and the Napoleonic
era come alive in this narrative
of Desiree, Marseille silk merch-
ants daughter, who becomes the
queen of Sweden. The main facts
of history are here, embellished
with credible dialog and charac-
terization. The story is cast in
the form of a diary kept by De-
Stree from the age of fourteen,
when she first met Napoleon, TO
the day when she is crowned as
queen. AS one of Napoleon's ear.
ly loves, and perhaps his first fl.
ancee, Desiree is shown as a
privileged person who was with
Napoleon at certain crucial peri.
DDS of his career and who, even
after her marriage to Marshall
Bernadotte, maintained Napole-
on's respect and a measure of his
love. A long novel but every bit
of it fascinating to read!
