showed the mosquitoes were

municipal authorities, and pointed
out the applicable statutes. The
bottom was drained, and no furth-

Case of the Miller

operations from d water-driven
mill to a location in twon. The
twon property was not zoned for
industry, but the miller's attorney
was able to present evidence
which convinced the coming board
that the property should be re-
zoned. In addition, the attorney
brought to the miller's attention

of Agriculture applicable to pow

Speed, Alcohol Due
To Cause Accidents

NEW YORK-Excessive speed
and alcohol will be responsible for
210 of the predicted $50 highway
accident deaths in the country
during the threeday Memorial Day
weekend starting tomorrow night,
according to the Association of
Casualty and Surety Companies.
The Associations figures, re-
leased today, indicate that l26
persons will die in speeding acct
dents and "a more, both motorists
and pedestrians, will die because
of excessive use of alcohol.
Other main causes contributing
to the 380-victim total are expect
ed to include: failure to keep to
the right Of the centerline, 38 vic
Tins; failure to observe the right
of way, 81 victims, and over-fati-
que or sleeping at the wheel, "a
victims.
Accidents caused by miscellane-
GUS factors will kill the final 81
of the predicted total.

This and That

Birds are content with anything they
can find to eat in cold weather.
Those who spoil their titmice and
nuthatches and cardinals with SUM-
flower seed must expect them to turn
up their noses at lesser foods.
This is one of the relationships that
make us realize all living things are kin.
It is very easy to spoil children, and
even their elders, by giving them the
foods they like, and then withholding
them.

One of the common infections in the
cold Is lack of appetite.
Too often the owner thinks that
it is some failure on his part, that his
pet will not do what comes naturally"
and exhibit good appetite. Dogs and
cats often act "Snooty" at good food

times will take away their appetite

Common Factor: Speed

Park police who Investigated three fatal
accidents on the curving approach of the
Mount Vernon Memorial Boulevard to Mount
Vernon found common contributing factor
speed. Their studies indicate that the highway
itself cannot fairly be blamed for the eleven
deaths which have occurred there in the past
two years.
Police estimated that the car which left
the road and crashed into tree last Thursday,
killing three Fort Belvor servicemen, was
travelling IS miles an hour or faster, judging
from skid marks and the condition of the
wreckage. Tests have shown that car being
driven at so miles an hour or little over would
have no tendency to leave the road on this
relatively gentle curve. similar speeding ac-
cident on the same stretch of road in August of
1852 cost the lives of five persons. The velocity
Of the car on that occasion was estimated at
over IS miles an hour. Three months before
that three persons had been killed when a
speeding truck veered from its lane and collided
head on with passenger car.
There is no reason to believe, therefore,
that the boulevard itself is dangerous, under
normal driving conditions No highway, how
ever carefully engineered, is without hazards
for those foolish enough to drive cars at such
speeds as police reported in the three multiple
death accidents near Mount Vernon.

AntipoIIution Teamwork at Stake

Intervention of the State Water Control
Board in the litigation over the challenged
validity of the Alexandria Fairfax County joint
sewage disposal pact is Of special significance.
It means that Virginia'S powerful antipollution
agency finally has recognized the advantage OF
interjuriSdictional teamwork in the local pollu-
tion-abatement program. Such teamwork is at
issue in the pending taxpayers suit.
There was a time not so long ago that the
board in its understandable impatience to get
action from nearby Virginia communities indi-
Gated a reluctance to await the outcome OF
negotiations among Northern Virginia authori-
ties for joint facilities and operations. This
impatience persisted despite reports by compe-
tent engineering consutants that Alexandra
and Fairfax County could save more than 81
million in construction costs and substantial
additional sums in maintenance costs by join
ing forces in tackling the pollution problem.
Only by several urgent requests to the board for
indulgence while arrangements were being
worked out was a final agreement effected
It is this agreement which has come under
attack in a case brought by two taxpayers to
test the constitutionality of the joint plan. The
court test, as a matter of fact, will be helpful
in the sale of bonds for the combined facili-
ties-provided of course the outcome is favor
able to the city and the county. 1t is better
to have the legality of the unusual program
determined in advance than to have the test
develop after construction has started. The
State board now thoroughly convinced OF the
desirability and Importance of the consolida-
ton idea has come into the suit on the side OF
Alexandria and Fairfax County. What the
court decides in this case will have bearing
on the whole future of Joint antipollution
undertakings in Virginia.

SchwobIe's Men Respect Him

Schwable: Such an officer could not
rightly expect or ever again have the
opportunity of exercising military lead

to some Of COL Schwable's subordinates.
Men who have served with him hold
him in utmost respect. Ask also those
men who were interned with Col.
Schwable and did not confess germ
warfare. They will tell you 1t was
only because the pressure was not put
on them as it was on Schwable
1t is very unfortunate that we should
set ourselves up as judges to condemn
or condone the actions of these Ameri-
can POWs. There is not one among
us who knows what his own limitations
are or his physical or mental endurance.
Therefore. it is little hard to say

circumstances

Role of U. S. Stamps Abroad

In those perilous areas of the world
where we are endeavoring to stem the
rising tide of communism, the lowly
postage stamps from America play a
role. Somehow they seem to find their
way to the people we are trying to reach
much more quickly than the millions
spent in foreign aid.
To these people the stamps of coun-
try represent more than a piece of
gummed paper. Through bitter expert
ence they have come to realize that the
stamp is a direct expression of the
hopes, desires, ideals and especially
stability of the issuing government
1t is to America they turn for issues
Of strength, truth and liberty.
1t is the duty of this country to pro-
vide stamps of dignity and stature that
are worthy of bearing the inscription

other process of printing can possibly
measure up to the intaglio or engraving
method in meeting these demands.

Poe Manuscript a Treasure

The least scrap of writing by Edgar Allan
Poe has value in the eyes of lovers of literature.
As an example of this fact the recent gift Of one
Of his random manuscripts to the Enoch Pratt
Library in Baltimore may be cited. It was
bequest of the late DR.. Thomas S. Cullen. The
treasure is a poem of IL lines, penned in the
poets party hand" It's title is ITO One in
Paradise" and it obviously reflects one of the
authors romantic attachments-perhaps his
interest in Elmira Register of Richmond, girl
of IS to whom he is known to have been devoted
when he was II.
But Miss Register was not 'in Paradise"
when Poe wrote the verses which now enrich
the Baltimore library. She still was living in
1875, quarter century after his own death, and
age had not dimmed her admiration for her
childhood friend Her recolections of their
association were pleasant and congenial. She
summed up her view of Poe in the words: Il
have the greatest respect for his memory"
Conceivably he entertained similar sentiment
as long as he shared anything in this world.
So the poem ITO One in Paradise" might
have been inspired by Elmira Register after all.
Poe frequently took liberties with reality with
out being unfaithful to essential principle.
when his childhood sweetheart was married to
another man two years after their engage
ment" was broken by her family, he well may
have thought of her as irrevocably lost.
What matters now however, is that Poe
continues to be one of the authentic builders
Of world literature. His poems, his short STORIES
his essays are read by millions OF people; ana
the tragic history Of his life has an enduring

Nonsense Abroad

There Is a school of thought In this coun-
try which holds that American political prac-
tices which may be grouped under the general
heading of "McCarthyiSrn" are destroying the
prestige of the United States in foreign nations.
And it may be that there is truth to the claim.
ii Curiously enough, however the people who
worry most about what McCarthyism is doing
to our prestige do not seem at all concerned
about the prestige of other countries, who have
their own "McCarthys" to deal with.
Take the debate in the House of Commons
early last week. Prime Minister Churchill was
defending his governments acceptance of
Belgian-made rifle in preference to British
product, the decision having been made only
after extensive tests by the War Office. In the
end Mr. Churchill was sustained by vote OF
266 to 232
The 232 Laborites who voted against him
had a field day, however. They jeered Mr..
Churchill. shouted at him when he spoke.
derided him for his deafness, and accused him
of deliberately lying of lack OF patriotism and
of knuckling under to anti-British prejudice in
America. The leader of this Laborite assault
was one Woodrow Wyatt, who went so far as to
accuse Britains warrior statesman Of having
"broken trust" with the British soldier in order
ito satisfy the Americans"
Fortunately, this kind of British demagog-
uery is not taken too seriously in this country.
No one is running around saying that wyatt
ism" is destroying Britain's prestige In the
United States A few shudders are permissible,
however when one thinks of the anguished
cries that would go up if Senator Mccarthy
should ever indulge in such an attack on, say,
General Eisenhower.
