GIVE US YOUR DREAM
by Joseph Auslander

because you knew black nights of unbelief,
The sleepless agony, the stark despair,
Sustain us when we struggle with our grief,
Help us to find the strength you found in prayer.
Because, being human, you could understand,
And, being humble, could all faults forgive,
o take us like small children by the hand;
Teach us in truth and tolerance to live.
Give us your faith to fight for and to treasure;
Give us your dream to prove the souls true worth
The faith for which you gave the last full measure,
The dream that shall not perish from the earth.

Air Force Orders Publicity
For Anti-Noise PROGRAM

The Air Force has advised
commanders to institute a vigor-
Gus public information program
to inform the public of actions
taken to remedy the problem Of
noise and hazard Of aircraft near
congested areas and to explain
factors which limit changes.
"To prevent public irritation
from developing" a department
letter stated, "this is particularly
important when regular opera
ton of jet aircraft is being in
troduced in a community.
Increasing use of jet air
craft accentuates the noise prob
lem where bases are near built
UP areas. In some instances,
bases which had no such problem
prior to conversion to jets, found
the community aroused about
jet-engine noise"
It pointed out that last year
when a number of air crashes
heightened public concern, COM
mandcrs were directed to take
operational actions to reduce
hazards and noise.

Assembly 10 Get Bill
To Dredge Streams in
Peace Cross Area

A bill will be introduced in the
Maryland General Assembly this
week to authorize the Prince
Georges County Commissioners
to float a 100000 bond issue for
dredging the Anacostia tribu-
taries in the vicinity of the Bla-
densburg Peace Cross.
Delegate Perry o. Wilkinson,
Democrat, of Prince Georges dis
closed his intentions to offer
such a measure after being ques-
toned by a reporter for The
Star.
Mr.. Wilkinson's bill probably
will give the county commission
ers authority to negotiate with
large sand and gravel companies
to do the dredging.
"The companies ably
would do much of the dredging
just for the sand, gravel and
topSoil they would get for their
own uSe." Mr.. Wilkinson said.

Another Prince Georges dele
gate, Frank Lillard. jr.. Repub-
1lcan, has announced plans to
introduce a measure calling on
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission and the State
Roads Commission for funds for
a similar dredging operation.
Mr.. Wilkinson, however, con-
tends this action would take
longer and might hamper plans
OF the Army engineers to put in
operation its overall flood con-
troll project for the Anacostia
In 1854.
A plan to spend some $3.50 900
for a road-raising project in the
vicinity of the frequently flooded
Peace Cross already has been
given the go-ahead sign oy Gov.
McKeldin. Mr.. Lillard has
termed this a waste of money.
A number of town officials in
the Peace Cross area this week
will seek a meeting with Gov.
McKeldin in attempt to block
