stream. constantly pepper the
lower river with exploding
shells.
Patrol boats are maintained
to enforce the Potomac River
restrictions. But rivermen and
pleasure boatmen often have
complained that these boats are
negligent sometimes in ade-
quately warning approaching
craft.
Members of the Capital Yacht
Club have told of unpleasant ex-
periences with shells that have
burst nearby, and fishermen
have complained of the impoSsi-
bility of working in the river
Shooting may continue as late as
10 pm, and yachtmen complain
that their boats have been de-
layed for hours while shooting is
in progress.
Yachtsmen say sometimes
permission is given to skirt"
the restricted areas, but add that
this is dangerous because of
shallow water and. submerged
fish stakes that may damage
boats. At one point, a short
distance downstream from Dahl
gren, it is impossible to round
river bend on the Maryland
side without entering the re-
Stricted area, rivermen say.
Watermen complain that one
of the most productive oyster
areas in the Potomac-Kettle
Bottom Shoals-is located in the
restricted area, and that it is
impossible to work this Sec
ton of the river except during
early morning and late evening
hours.
Bruce Shymansky, a Cobb
Island business man and former
Charles County sheriff, says
river restrictions hamper water
front business. Mr.. Shymansky
also operates a business at CO.
lonial Beach. across the river on
the Virginia shore. and says
crossing the river by boat some
times is an "all-day" job.
Landowners along the lower
Potomac report that constant
firing at Dahlgren has retarded
real estate development. Resi-
dents report that the explosions
damage property, are annoying
and dangerous.
Residents report that house
windows have been shattered,
walls cracked and buildings
shaken. They report that shells
sometimes go wild, landing dis
tances inshore.
A farmer reported that a shell
landed in a field wnere he was
blowing, causing his horse to bolt.
and more recently a shell sailed
over a house near Cobb Island,
landing in a nearby marsh.
So far, wild shells have landed
in isolated places, but residents
fear a serious accident.
Piney Point
River restrictions for the
Naval Torpedo Test Center at
Piney Point overlap the Dahlgren
restricted areas upstream, and
extend downriver to the bay.
With the exception of three
channels, restricted and prohi-
bited areas close the mouth of
the St. Mary's River. Boats may
enter these restricted areas only
when tests are not being con-
Quoted, and are permanently ex-
cluded from the prohibited areas.
Watermen complain that good
fishing, grabbing and clustering
areas are within the restricted
areas, and that fishing activities
are hindered.

On Lund

Little by little, the military is
adding to it's land holdings in the
Chesapeake Bay region. This,
according to many observers, is
retarding development.
The Defense Department lists
more than so military install
lations located in the Bay area.
ocations include the Washing
ton, Baltimore and Norfolk-New-
port News centers.
The list includes one Army
and five Navy experimental and
testing stations, and three Navy
laboratories, two of them for re-
search. All listed laboratories
are in the Washington area.
The department list does not
include a Naval Research Lab
oratory near Chesapeake Beach,
Md. a Naval Torpedo Test Gen.
ter at Piney Point, Md, and a
Naval Ordnance Testing Sta
ton at Blossom Point, on the
Maryland side of the Potomac
above Dahlgren.
Have Dual Influence
Most of these reservations
have dual influences. The ad-
iacent waters may be restricted
for testing purposes. and land
development may be retarded
because of land restrictions.
At Blossom Point, Md. for en-
ample. no restrictions have been
placed in the Potomac because
activities do not interfere with
navigation channels. But local
watermen have reported that
small craft have been in danger
from near shore firing.
The most recent move by the
military to extend its land hold
ings in the Bay region is a pro-
posal by the Navy to acquire
some 1900 acres in Worcester
County. on Maryland's Eastern
Shore. This land includes 10
farms and a part of the POGO
moke State Forest. It would be
used to extend the bomb range
facilities of the Chincoteague
Naval Ordnance Test Station.
State forestry officials say the
forest land has been developed
as a forestry demonstration
project, and contains some of
the best Lobby pine in the
East.
Joseph E. Kaylor, director of
Maryland Forests and Parks.
said the Pocomoke Forest has
been paying its way. He said
that under an agreement with
Worcester County, Is per cent
of the forest revenues go to the
county. Last year the county's
share amounted to $1,000.
Fears Loss Of Forest
Mr.. Kaylor said he feared the
loss of the forest if the Navy
takes over.

her friends believe suit her

Settled in the theater next to
you her escort, Princess Mar
garet, if smoking is permitted,
will quickly produce her ciga-
rette holder, insert one Of a
popular brand of cigarettes and
puff away contentedly.
When the lights go on for the
lntermission, you escort the
princess to a private room at
the side Of the stage, where the
manager has laid out drinks and
titbitS.
Almost always the Princess
drinks a single glass Of cham
payne. Often she will chat to
the producer, who is usually
surprised to discover how knowl-

When the show ends there is
an alteration in the routine Of

with her when she goes out for
the evening.
Night merges into early morn
ing and when 2:30 am. strikes
and no more drinks may be
served, the Princess glass is
removed with the others. Time,
pleaSe!" is called as firmly for
Margaret as for the most OBJ
scure Of her sisters subjects.
The end of the evening is
declared by Margaret herself.
Just past 3 she suddenly de-
clares: II think I had better be
going home now."
Every one rises, and Margaret
after a word of thanks and q
dazzling smile to you. leaves with
her lady in waiting. No host may
see the Princess home; she de-
parts as she arrived-with her
official escorts.
Your guests relax for about
another half-hour-for charm
ing though the Princess is there
is always a slight atmosphere Of

conStraint associated with the
presence Of royalty.
In that half-hour you mentally
tote up what the evening has
cost. Food and drinks for the
party, about $140. Taxis, theater
seats, flowers and incidentals
make up about another $140. The
night out with Princess Margaret
and party has set you back $3.50.
But in a few days time, when
the letter arrives from the lady
in waiting to say the Princess
has commended me to thank
you for a most pleasant evening" +"
you decide it was well worth
while.

To drink? Champagne again
though one or two Of the men
in the party will soon change to
whisky, a drink the Princess
never touches.
The Princess gives the first
dance to you, as her host. She
dances lightly and expertly and
you are sorry when it is time
to escort her back to the table.
For the Princess, as for all
woman guests, there comes the
time when she retires to the
powder room to 'freshen up."
Stories that a special room is
put at her disposal are nom
sense. The Princess uses the
ordinary facilities. What is not
ordinary is that the cloakroom
attendant is left with q crisp
10-shilling note as a tip.
This money is paid by the
lady in waiting, who attends
to all such matters. Princess
Margaret does not carry money
