New Rates for
Nearby Sewers
PSC Backs Increase
In Maryland Counties
By Sanitary Group

Controversial rate increases
ordered by the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission had
the backing today of the Mary
land Public Service Commission.
The PSC in an order handed
down yesterday said it found
nothing unreasonable nor exceS-
Sive in the new sewer usage,
refuse collection and incinerator
rates decreed by the suburban
Maryland untility last April.
Three New Charges.
The PSC held a day-long
hearing on the rate increases
last month. Involved were:
l. A IA cents sewer usage
charge added to the present
water consumption rate of q
cents per 1000 gallons, effective
March l..
2. An increase in the Mont
gomery County refuse collection
charge from $1.65 per month to
$2.25, effective September /.
3. A boost in incinerator rates
from 81 to 81 ton, effective
May /.
Attorney H. Ralph Miller of
Silver Spring, who represented
the Allied Civic Group of Silver
Spring in its challenge of the in
creased rates at last months
hearing, said the order proves
our contention that we need leg
islation requiring the sanitary
commission to go before the
Public Service Commission be-
fore it can boost it's charges"
To Seek Legislation.
He said the Allied Civic Group
still intends to seek such legis-
lation. He added that he would
have to study the PSC order be-
fore the civic group decided
whether to appeal it to the Prince
Georges County Circuit Court.
The PSC found that "a change
in policy with respect to allo-
cation of certain expenses was
responsible for the increased
charges. :"
The chief auditor of the COM
mission checked the books and
found nothing untoward in the
new accounting systems set up.
The appeal was filed in the
name of Willard A. Morris of
the Allied Civic Group of Silver
Spring.

Drought Forces Sale
Of Cattle in Virqinia
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 90
About 100000 head of Virginia
cattle will move to the market
in the next so days because of
the drought, Commissioner of
Agriculture Parke c. Brinkley
said yesterday.
Mr.. Brinkley said short pas
lures and shrinking prospects for
winter hay had forced farmers
to unload a number of cattle
that they ordinarily would have
carried through the winter and
sold next spring or fall.
Farmers have waited as long
as they could for a break in the
drought" Mr.. Brinkley said, but
now they figure that they can
not afford to carry this beef
through the winter"
THE situation is serious" Mr..
Brinkley said, "and our whole
food and agricultural industry
must do something to relieve the
situation"
AS a tip to housewives, Mr.
Brinkley said the budget cuts OF
beef would be selling at low
prices during the heavy market
ing period.
In the Richmond area, one
of the dryest in the State, some
cattlemen are grazing herds in
corn fields and on hay lots.

It was during the time that she
was isolated from the United

veloped a sense of patriotism to
the country of her birth which was
the more intense because of her
exile" First people who are not

The return to this country mark

and imaginative twelve-year-old
who, more or less, had full sway
for individualism during her years
in Europe. What those years had
produced in encouragement of her
musical talent, had also acted as
a deterrent in Emily Goddard's
ability to adjust easily to 'teen-age
American contemporaries.
Music soon became the creative
force in her life, and Mrs. God
dard dropped away from all other
interests to devote herself, with
her characteristic vitality, to this
one great love of her life which
found expression not only through
singing, but also through the dra-
