Health education has become
so meaningful at the Twinbrook
Elementary School that one six
year-old recently declined to

DR.. Edda L. Larimore. princi-
pal, and her II teachers in the
big new rambling school in
Rockville have brought a practi-
cal meaning to the three RS"
and health training.
And the children love it. The
biggest problem the teachers
have is holding them back.
One little girl took so seriously
the lesson that teeth should be
kept free of food particles she
insisted on bringing her tooth
brush to school for use after
lunch.
The schools popular program
extends out into the COM.
munity and home.
Mrs. Ruth Korh'S fourth grad
ers spent several weeks, charting
their homes on a map they
made Of the community. Then
they located the danger spots
on their way to school and play.
Finally the group came up
with a list Of recommendations
which they are going to present
to the Twinbrook Citizens AS
ISOLATION. The recommended
tons call for sidewalks, paving
of a connecting street and wild
ening of the Rockville pike.
It's not rare for these same
children to point out a faulty
electrical receptacle in their
home or chastise baby brother
for leaving his blocks on the
stairway.
The program has drawn the
attention of local representatives
Of a number of national health
organizations. Miss Claudia Gal
liner, health educator with the
County tuberculosis Association,
is serving as liason between
health groups and the school and
has aided in the program.
Children in Mrs. Denise
Mason's first grade set up their
own model" kitchen and learned
the meaning Of proper prepara-
ton and cooking of food.
Mrs. Doris Neumann went a
step farther with her second
graders and earned the title of
the best cook in the world"
To show that nutritional foods
could be prepared with taste APP
peal she had her pupils eat raw
rhubarb. Then she cooked it for
them and the dish won her the
title from her pupils.
These same second graders
built their own store. stocked its
shelves and set up business COM
plete with a borrowed push cart
and advertising posters.
Each day the children go to the
store, pick out a balanced diet,
and pay their bill with play
money. Then they write of their
experience and read their story
to the class.
Mrs. Maria Monisera's first
graders studied clothing. They
made doll clothes for the four
seasons on real" play sewing
machines. They learned the
names Of materials, where they
come from. and something Rbout

Former Employees
-. Of Government
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The Civil Service Commission
so far has found names of 116
former Government workers who
refused, on constitutional
grounds. to answer congressional
committee questions about their
loyalty or possible Communist
connections.
The figures were compiled for
Chairman Rees Of the House
Civil Service Committee, who
made them public yesterday.
Most of the 116 left the Gov
eminent in the 1940s. some as
early as 1884. None is now in
the Federal service. Mr.. ReeS
said he has asked for further
reports from the commission as
its investigation of some z
million card records continues.
Among those refusing to tes-
tify. 20 were once employed by
the Army or other defense agen-
cieS and six by the State Depart
ment. The others were scattered
among various agencies, many
Of which no longer are in exist
ence.
Believes There Are More.
II think there are more than
that" Mr.. ReeS said, asserting he
has asked Commission Chairman
Philip Young for further re-
ports.
Mr.. ReeS had asked for the
names of all Federal workers in
voking the fifth amendment as
grounds for refusal to answer
questions involving their loyalty
or possible Communist connec-
tons.
In submitting the first list,
Mr.. Young said the investigation
is still incomplete and involves
examination Of some Z million
card records.
I'm most instances" he in
formed Mr. Rees. 'the refusal
to testify occurred subsequent to
the termination of the Federal
employment and, in most cases,
refusal to testify in itself was
not the cause Of the termir1a-
ton" 81
But he added:
The. information which re-
suited in the individuals being
called 70 testify, no doubt. was
a facto IN the termination Of
many Of these employees.

Practically all the instances of

MckeIdin Finds
Funds 10 Hire
Health Official
Will Acquire Director
Of Disease Program
Despite Legislature
sy The Assoeiaisd Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 15.-Al-
though the 1854 Legislature ap-
propriated no money for it, Gov.
McKeldin says the State is going
ahead with plans to set up a
director for its expanding chronic
disease program.
The Governor had asked ST.
600 in his 1954-55 budget to
provide for q director, pay his
travel and office expenses and
give him q secretary. It was
among nearly 81 million Topped
off the record $3.50 million budget
by lawmakers.
Gov. McKeldin took the Legis-
lature to task for that and
some other cuts in a radio
. speech yesterday and said he is
recommending that funds be
transferred from other divisions
and bureaus of the Health De-
partment to provide the money.
Aided by 'Pliability.'
He said that although the
Legislatures total appropria-
ton for the Health Department
is binding, fortunately there is
pliability within a departments
funds"
With this in mind, and with
a full realization of the impor-
lance of keeping our chronic dis
ease program in a state of adj
vancement, shall suggest to DR..
Robert H. Riley, director of the
State Department of Health, that
he propose to me and to the Di-
rector OF the Budget and Pro-
curement a budget amendment, 4"
Gov. McKeldin said.
with the funds thus obtained
we would establish a Chief of
Chronic Disease Hospitals and
give this great program new
and much-needed boost to pro-
vide the best possible service to
the people of Maryland"
Coordinate Activities.
The director would coordinate
all activities of Che chronic dis
ease program including operation
of the Deer's Head State Hospital
at Salisbury and Monticello
State Hospital in Baltimore. A
third chronic disease hospital is
planned at Hagerstown. Deer's
Head has $50 beds. Monticello
has 200 beds now and an even
tual goal of 400.
In addition, the director would
supervise planning methods of
preventive, rehabilitation and
care Of chronic disease patients
in facilities other than hospitals.
About the general pruning job
the Legislature did on his budget,
Gov. McKeldin said:
II have not the time on this
broadcast to anlyze and assay all
OF the reductions that were made.
While none Of my budget pro-
posals were made arbitrarily, I
can say that most of the cuts
were not of sufficient depth to
cause serious disturbance to our
operations. Some, however, are
clearly detrimental to progress
and the best interests of our peo-
pie. intend to discuss them with
you from time to time"

Byrd and Mahoney
Argue on University's
0ut-of-5tate Students
BY the A.soeiossa Press


DR.. H. C. Byrd and George p.
Mahoney traded charges about
out-of- State students at the Uni
versity of Maryland as their
campaigns for Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor rolled along
over the week end.
Mr.. Mahoney issued a state
ment Saturday simplifying a
previous charge that DR.. Byrd
had been wasteful with taxpay-
ers' money while president Of the
University Of Maryland. He cited
what he called IAN extremely
high proportion" Of out-of- State
students at Maryland in rela-
ton to universities in other
states and said in effect. that
they were being educated at the
expense Of Maryland taxpayers.
DR.. Byrd retorted that the out
of-State students were "a f1nan-
cial asset in balancing the uni
versity's annual budget" He
said they were charged more
than Maryland students and
that they eventually win be
housed in dormitories being
built without cost to the State.
For use of these dormitories, he
added, "they will pay still an
other additional charge above
what Maryland students pay"
Figures Presented.
Mr.. Mahoney had said that
in 1851 out-of Skaters made up
Al per cent of the students en-
rolled at the university'S pub
licly controlled institutions Of
higher learning" During this
time, he said, the University Of
Wisconsin had IL per cent. Illi-
nois 8. North Carolina 10, Ohio
IL. Minnesota IL and Virginia
%. And he said that in that
year Maryland students were be-
ing rejected by the university be-
cause of "overcrowding."
DR.. Byrd replied that the uni
versity years ago" adopted a
policy Of keeping its undergrad
uate level at 70 per cent Mary
land students and 80 per cent
from out of State. He said the
80 per cent was arrived at be-
cause many Maryland students
were going out of State for their
education.
Selected for Ability.
He said the percentage of out
of-Staters at graduate schools
was probably higher because
they are selected according to
ability and not geography.
The major Democratic Party
gathering of the week end was
a Jackson day dinner in Balti-
more Saturday night at which
Senator Jackson, Democrat, Of
Washington was principal speak
er. He attacked what he called
the "hard money" policy of the
Eisenhower administration and
predicted congressional Demo-
Gratis would succeed in getting
personal income tax exemptions
raised from 5000 to $500.
