Efforts to evolve q basic COM

tomorrow In Upper Marlboro by
representatives of at least four
agencies.
Development Of the 4.000-home
Hoffman City near Brandywine.
Md. which began q sales drive
last week. has spurred the State
to arrive at an overall plan for
sanitary and water facilities for
the area which extends to Fort
Washington on the Potomac
River.
Robert M. Brown, chief Of the
Bureau Of Environmental Hy-
giene. Maryland Department Of
Health, has called the meeting
with representatives of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission. the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, the Prince
Georges County Commissioners
and the Interstate Commission
on the Potomac River Basin.
Cali 1t "1OO% Risk"
Hoffman City, as well as two
other developments totalling an
additional 500 houses between it
and the river, are outside the
jurisdiction Of the sanitary and
planning commissions. Any mu-
nicipal water and sewer services
for the area first must be ap-
proved by the State.
Mr.. Brown said Hoffman City's
request for O community sewage
disposal system first came before
the State Board of Health at its
October Meeting. No action has
yet been taken.
Mr.. Brown said that it is pos
sible that the Monday confer
ence may come to some conclu-
sion on future development plans
for the entire Brandywine- Fort
Washington strip. In which case.
he added. it is conceivable that
the State board may take some
action on Hoffman City's request
at its meeting Friday.
$50 Million Housing Project.
Reports circulated in some
Southern county areas that raw
sewage might be dumped by the
huge $50 million housing sdevel-
opment into the Potomac River.
There is no cause for alarm
about this by anyone" Mr..
Brown said. "We have yet ap-
proved no permit for a sewage
disposal system or a water
supply. M
Every indication points to
the fact that the whole area is
going to develop rapidly. Since
the October application was
made we have been studying the
entire area to determine what
has to be done.
Hoffman City is being de-
veloped by the r. & s. Construc-
ton Co. which also has built
about IL 900 homes in Cleveland,
Denver, Albuquerque and Salt
Lake City.
The developers are Offering
FHA-approved houses for as low
as $9,950 swith no down pay
ments required from veterans.
The 1,000-acre development Is
located on the Old John Deere
farm on Route 301 just south Of
TB and the intersection Of

Black Given
$1,000 Raise

NEW YORK, Feb. l., (SpeciaD
- Joe Black, 30-year- old right
handler whose pitching slump was
a disappointment to Brooklyn last
year, was signed by the Dodgers

"a man is entitled to a bad year"
The Dodgers announced h
Black, the sixth Dodger to ink his

explained that "a man is entitled
to bad year after putting a good
year like he (Black) did"
In 1852, Black pitched in Sc

His earned run average was 2:15.
Last season Black fell off to an
ERA of $50, winning six games
and losing three in 81 appearances.

hay production. He now harvests
1900 pounds of Burley tobacco
per acre off the same land that
used to yield just a little over
1000 pounds.
On his 63-acre farm, Mr.. Car
ter has six in tobacco, three in
corn, and the rest in clovers, al
falfa, lespedeza, and bluegrass for
his 80 head of Hereford beef cat
tie and few Poland China hogs.
The latter he raises mostly for
home use. He figures his gross in
come from the sale of tobacco and
calves has been averaging better
than $4,000 year.
Mrs. Carter got started in farm
ing on his own when he returned
from camp following World War l
with $38 in his pocket. He got mar
ried and paid down SIS on % acres.
One of his brothers shared in the
ownership of the plot until he
bought him out in 1888. Later, he
and his wife acquired 40 acres
more. Occasionally, they rent some
extra land for pastures.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carter live in an
attractive two-story brick home.
With the help of Mrs. Bette S.
Harris, her home demonstration
agent, Mrs. Carter has expanded
her food preservation program. She
cans some, but puts most of her
meats, fruits and vegetables in a
freezer locker they rent in town.
The Carriers have a son in Detroit
and a daughter and her husband
home with them.
Il got started on the right track"
says Mr.. Carter, "when my county
agent encouraged me to send sam
Piles of my soil to the State lab
oratory for testing. When the re-
port came back, l knew for the
first time what my land really
needed"
Making a go of farming on limit
ed acreage is the problem that
most colored farmers in Kentucky
face, says Mr.. Finch, who points
out that the average size of their
farms is only 38 acres. He thinks
Mr.. Carter's approach may have
wide application, not only in Ken
lucky, but also throughout the
South where the average size of
all Negro operated farms is just
46 acres.

American prisoners of war.
THE fate of all Americans in
Communist captivity must be a
matter of grave concern to every
citizen, and every possible means
must be employed to bring about
their release, but it is not appa-
rent that cutting off all assistance
to our allies will benefit these I'M
fortunate soldiers in any way what
ever. That such a step would an
tagonize, split up from, our allies
and that split is the prime object
of Soviet diplomacy-is too plain
for argument"
The cold war, Gen. Taylor as
serted, created conditions which
makes it easier for demagogueS to
stir up hysteria. "The demagogue
points an accusing finger of fear
or hate at some individual, or insti-
tuition, or idea, and all too many
of US, like stampeded sheep, take
up the cry that we are gravely i'm
periled by traitors in our schools
and colleges, in our great endowed
foundations, or even among our
ministers of the gospel" He said,
"In such an atmosphere, the ambi-
tons and INSCRIPTIONS politician
can rise to great power, borne on
waves of hyster a.
mot the least dangerous feature
of this national maltise is that our
preoccupation with internal suspi-
cions and recriminations blunts the
edge of our sword in disposing Of
grave external matters. We have
recently seen a good example of
this sort of thing in connection
with the negotiations at Panmun-
jon, which are being handled by
Mr.. Arthur Dean, an able and re-
spected New York attorney. How
good a diplomat he is | do not
know, and do not undertake
either to praise or criticize his
conduct of this delicate and i'm
portant mission. But | do not
think that his diplomacy should be
condemned-as it was recently by
a leading Republican Senator-on
the ground that Mr.. Dean has been
trustee of the Institute of Pa
cific Relations. Far from promot-
ing our national interests, such
puerile attacks on our representa-
tives abroad are most damaging

true; we have things on our
minds also. In a case like this, if
a person my age were to protest,
he would only appear to be show
ing disrespect for his elders. /
think that if a child waits his
turn, the adults should respect
his place in line.
On public oonveyances also,
we are sometimes dealt with diff
ferently than adult passengers
are. Some bus drivers treat chill
dren as nuisances instead of peo-
pie. One snowy day boarded a
bus on my way to school. /
handed the driver a dollar bill.
He refused to make change and
told me to get off.
/ AM sure that if a grown per-
son had offered the bill the driver
might not have liked it but he
would not have refused to make
change.
Bus drivers sometimes seem to
think that children aren't worth
stopping to pick up. Many times
have stood on a corner waiting
for a bus when the driver just
zoomed by without bothering to
stop. However. l have yet to see
this happen to an adult.
Of course. all adults aren't dis
courteous to children. also
think that this rudeness on the
part of older people toward chill
dren is not always intentional.
Because they have a lot of things
on their minds, they don't take
time out to realize that children
have feelings too. But if these
people looked upon children as
people, the courtesy they offer
would be more than returned by
the young people they meet.
