Shakespeare Play for GIs

A group of actors reported
yesterday that Maj. John Eisen-
hover, the Presidents son, was
more interested in their thea
trical adventures than in news
from Washington when they
met him in Korea.
The four women and six men
members of Players, Inc, landed
at National Airport after a tour
of the Korean front. They pre-
sented only Shakespeare during
the eight-week tour.
Before they left Washington
for the trip, they saw President
Eisenhower. He told them to be
sure and look up his son.
They did. But they said he
wanted to talk about their ad-
ventures in presenting Shake
speare to front-line troops.
The group will be at the thea

SIS Million Hospital
Urged for Treatment
OF D. T.. tuberculosis

A member of the District Tu-
berculosis Association last night
stressed the need for a 300-bed
hospital, costing SIS million for
| the confinement and treatment
of tuberculosis people.
Lawrence Reese asked men,
bers of the, Citizens Forum of

He declared that from $50 to

ing Washington streets because
there are not adequate hospital
facilities in the District to treat
them.
AS a solution to the problem.
the speaker suggested general
chest X-rays and an end of the
financial means test" whereby
part of the cost of treatment to
patients is based on the amount
of property they own. This item,
he said, has caused PATIENTS to
attempt to end the expensive
treatment and return to work
before they are completely cured.
The average cost of full hos
pitalization is estimated at $14,-
600.

Reservations

accommodations. Reservations
should be made in advance.
During the summer, the pro-
motion council maintains an in
formation booth on the lake
front, through which housing ac-
commodations are cleared. In
formation can be obtained from
the Mount Top Chamber of Com
merce, Oakland, or the Deep
Creek Information Center, Star
route, Oakland.
In nearby Oakland, visitors
may play a nine-hole golf course.
At Mountain Lake Park are ten
mis- courts. The annual Western
Maryland tournaments are held
there.
Boats and fishing bait and
tackle can be obtained on the
lake. Natives say the only way
to see the area properly is by
boat. They concede. however,
that fishing here is not up to
par, although the lake has been
stocked-insufticiently they say
with large-mouth bass, trout,
perch, pike, crappies and blue
gills. There are some 1900 reg
iStered boats on the lake. They
range in size from IA to 80 feet.
Boats can be rented by the hour,
day or week. There is some sail
ing-mostly out of the Yacht
Club. Private dock space is rented
to visitors with their own boats.
Fishing Licenses Available
No special lake fishing license
is required. State licenses for
non-Marylanders cost SITS for
three days, or $1O.50 for the sea-
son and are obtainable at the
lake.
There is a great deal Of wild
life in the area and one Of the
biggest weeks Of the year comes
in December, when hundreds of
hunters pour in from Pittsburgh
and Baltimore for deer season.
Some 600 deer were killed in the
county last winter.
Visitors to the lake will want
to take short auto trips to nearby
scenic spots, such as Swallow
Falls and Muddy Greek Falls in
the State park and Harrington
Manor, which has a small lake
and public beach.

Began Generations Ago
Garrett County's development
as a resort area has come in two
stages. The first dates back
three generations when the Bal
timore g. Ohio Railroad first
crossed the Alleghenys and the
mountain climate invited trav-
elers to tarry during the summer
months.
The railroad saw possibilities
of increasing it's traffic and built
sprawling gingerbread type ho-
tells at Oakland and nearby Deer
Park. Presidents Harrison and
Grant vacationed there and a
few older residents can recall
when President Cleveland and
his bride honeymooned at Deer
Park Hotel. when Lew Wallace
wrote his ben Hur" at the old
GladeS Hotel in Oakland, when
Mrs. Leslie Carter rehearsed her
lines with David BelaSco for 1.-THE
Heart of Maryland" while she
paced the upper porch of her
hotel; also. when Henry Ford,
Harvey Firestone and Thomas A.
Edison made annual fishing trips
there and the Naval Academy
Band spent the summers in
Oakland.
The waters of the lake cover
about 4,800 acres. making Deep
Creek one Of the largest inland
bodies of water in the East. The
lake is fed by mountain springs
and streams. Its irregular shore
lines includes dozens of inlets
which make ideal camp sites.
Seeks New Friends
Publicizing the lake today as
the East's most promising resort
and vacation area is the Deep
Creek Lake Promotion Council
and the Mountain Top Chamber
Of Commerce in Oakland.
Probably the most credit for
proclaiming the lakes beauties
and climate goes to Mrs. Gladys
Vannucci, secretary of the coun-
Gil, and Charles Briner, secre-
tary Of the chamber.
Mrs. Vannucci, with her hus-
band Bud, operates Point View
Inn on the lake front. The inn
has II bedrooms and four cot
tages. The huge dining room
looks directly over the lake.
Accommodations on the lake
are varied. A number of places
offer housekeeping cottages by
the week, month or season.
Among them are Will-o-the-
Wisp, Lake View Motel, Gnome-
wood. the Anchorage, Point View

County to Review
Sidewalk Program
For Children

Nearly five miles of sidewalks
have been built in the county dur
ing the last three years to keep
children off public highways.
Mason A. Butcher reported the
progress of the sidewalk program
to the council Tuesday. At the
same time he asked for a review
Of the program in the light of pre-
sent needs.
The council gave him six weeks
to submit report on his review.
Mr.. Butcher said three miles
have been built along state roads
and another two miles along coun-
ty roads.
The council several years ago
received report from a joint COM
mittee of the Safety Board and
the Board of Education on pro-
iected sidewalk needs to protect
children.
II Miles of Sidewalks
They urged construction of about
IL miles of temporary sidewalks
and another two miles Of perman-
ent walks.
Mr.. Butcher said his own de-
partment had done the work on the
sidewalks and had done it as fast
as possible with the existing staff
Contracting the work out to pri-
vate firms would double the cost
of the work.

Council Must
Pass on Down
County Streets

The county council Tuesday
adopted a Building Code amend
ment that puts it up to the council
to decide when a street is neces-
sary.
The amendment will require
down county builders who own less
than half of the property abutting
an unpaved road to post bond for
the streets construction to the
nearest paving.
If he does not want to do this,
he can ask the council to authorize
front foot benefit project in
which neighboring properties pro-
perty owners have to share. Then
if the council decides against such
a project, the builder can go ahead
with his plans without putting up
the bond.
Grading Only
The big developer, however,
who does own most of the property
abutting a street has to guaran-
tee OILY the grading Of a street.
AS a result the council will have
no means of guaranteeing a home
buyer that the developer will put
in the street by a certain date.
Neither is there any safeguard for
the school board who sometimes
make arrangements for the deve-
loper to put in the street beside
a school in connection with his de-
velopment.
The little builder, however, if
he posts a bond will have year
in which to complete the street.
If at this time he has failed to do
so the bond can be used by the
county itself to put in the road
Must Post Bond
Developers in the rural areas
now have to post bond for street
construction at the time a new
subdivision is approved by the
Upper County Planning Commits
sion.
The building code amendment
also provides that the board OF
appeals can decide whether build
ing materials are equal to mini
mum STANDARD established by the
ordinance. The board, however
cannot modify the standards.

Board of Education that the Lay
louisville school now handles 246
students with a capacity of 1870.
By 1868, he said, the school is ex-
pected to have $50 students. He
urged the addition be constructed
by the fall of 1866.
Rockville Junior High
DR.. Norris also proposed that
the existing Rockville Elementary
school be converted to a junior
high school by September 1866, OF
retained as an elementary and a
new junior high school be con-
structed elsewhere in the area. He
predicted that the Richard Mont
gomery Junior-Senior High school,
with a present enrolment of 1,01O
and capacity of 902, would have
to care for 1875 students by 1858.
The Carver Negro School in
Rockville, DR.. Norris urged, should
be converted into junior-senior
high school with an addition and
the existing Lincoln Junior High
school be used as a storage ware
house and retinishing and repair
center.
The superintendent asked the
Board to consider constructing a
10-room addition to the Maryvale
Elementary School in Rockville, OF
possibly an addition to the Lone
Oak Elementary, or both. He also
asked whether the Board favors
an elght-classroorn addition to the
West Rockville Elementary if the
present Rockville Elementary
school is abandoned.
The board was also asked to
consider whether the Poolesville
Junior Senior High School should
be turned over to Junior High

that the cost of constructing the
eight miles of 18-inch sewer pipe
