for four years and then spent II years

The procession Of Senators Truman,
Barkley and Nixon to the Vice Presi-

shadowed the roll Of Representatives

Mr.. Nixon and Mr.. Barkley but such

Health authorities in nearby areas that
are suffering the stresses Of rapid residential
development have good reason to be con-
cerned over water supply and sanitation
problems. The water and sewer require
ments of some of the expanding Maryland
and Virginia communities are multiplying
faster than available facilities can accom-
modate them. The needs are being tackled
or a piecemeal basis in a large part of
the outlying neighborhoodS. Some overall
direction and planning are essential to the
orderly development and the good health Of
the whole region.
It Is encouraging to learn that the
Maryland Department Of Health has begun
a series of consultations with Prince Georges
County authorities on water and sewer diff
culties in the burgeoning subdivisions out
side the jurisdiction Of the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission. Similarly. the
Fairfax County Health Council Is urging a
regional approach to solution Of nearby
Virginia's acute water supply problem
affecting most communities not connected
with the Washington water supply system.
Complicating the tasks on both sides Of
the Potomac River Is the ever-present ques-
ton Of how to pay for the costly improve
ments needed
Southern Prince Georges County is the
scene Of much building activity. Hundreds
of new homes are going up and thousands
of others are planned by developers. Each
subdivision is being provided with its own
water supply and sewerage systems, but the
State Health Department is the only agency
having control over installations outside the
WSSC jurisdiction. Regional or county
planning and control of water and sewer
work in all thickly settled parts Of Prince
Georges are inevitable, in the interest Of pro-
tecting public health. Across the river, in
Fairfax County, county sewerage system
is under construction. but most Of the
county still depends on wells for water. A
more reliable, more adequate supply system
will be required to meet future needs Of the
growing county. The time Is not many years
of when all of the Washington Metropolitan
Area will have to be served by something
better than dug wells, septic tanks and
sporadic unco-ordinated sewerage systems.
Prisoners in the Missouri State peni-
tentiary riot against being served baked

Note of Harmony

1t all happened by accident-this
sudden realization that We all should
be so thankful
My small son had forgotten to take
his school reader. Having the car.
decided to return the reader. Upon en-
tering the school I was greeted by the
principal, who, with obvious pride,
toured me to one of the rooms for
q peek" The teacher, all smiles, was
directing the first-grade students in
various activities. The room was deco
rated delightfully."-. A tall Christmas
tree stood in the center of the room,
gaily draped with ornaments the chill
dren had made. After the view of the
classroom, I was shown the work that
had been done by the fourth and fifth
graders. On the right side of one wall
was large painting Chanukah
picture-showing a hand lighting the
candles on q menorah. On the center
wall, artistically drawn, was q jolly
picture of st. Nick.
I could go on indefinitely telling you
about the fine teachers, the smiling
children, and the things being accom-
plished, but have a better idea-visit
your own child's school and see.
Maybe the little school on Luzerne
avenue in Silver Spring is an exception,
but I doubt it. Times have changed.
are changing, and will continue to
change for the welfare of our young
sters who are growing up to fill the
shoes of the important leaders in our
great country.
This is time to view our progress,
which definitely starts in the schools,
and give thanks to the teachers who
so diligently are giving of themselves.
