A Building Is Dedicated

A Building Is Dedicated
This week in the city of Chicago,
unique building was dedicated.
1t is the new home of the National
Congress of Parents and Teachers,
and represents the elimination of
years of dreams and hopes of the
nearly nine million members of
this great organization.
1t has been planned for many
years, and all over the nation people
in small groups of local P.-T.A. as
sociations have contributed money
for it. Paper boxes shaped like
bricks were distributed, and nickels,
dimes and quarters we're collected
to buy brick or several bricks.
Many of us here in Garrett county
have had small part in paying for
this building, SO we feel it is a part
of US, too,
From this new and modern head
quarters, our leaders in this nation
wide movement will be able to
serve more efficiently and ably the
members of an organization dedi-
Gated solely to the welfare of our
children.
This will be the nerve center,
from which will come our National
Parent-Teacher Magazine, and the
many other fine and educational
publications which help those of
us who are members to become
more intelligently informed on
what is happening in education, on
programs of legislation affecting
our children. We find articles on
health, discipline, family relations,
emotional and spiritual well-being
written by very capable and learned
writer's.
Here from this headquarters will
be formulated plans for enlarging
and making more effective our
hopes and dreams for our children
in a peaceful world Our leaders
will reaffirm their belief in the
necessity of making possible for the
least privileged child in our land,
the same educational opportunities
afforded the most privileged one.

NEW YORK, Mar. 16.--United

thoughtful" re-evaluation Of

tial to national defense expire,
the steel, cement and railroad
industries-where large amounts
have been spent on long-term
improvements-may be seriously
handicapped.
The report stressed that in
adequate depreciation threatens

penditures and employment.

Prince Georges
Woos PEPCO

r. Howard Duckett, chairman
.of the Prince Georges Industrial
Development Committee, yester-
day urged the Potomac Electric
Power Co. to consider sites in
Prince Georges County for the
building of the firms proposed
500 million power plant.
In a letter OF r. Roy Dunn,
.PEPCO president, Mr.. Duckett,
who is chairman Of the board of
the Suburban Trust Co., urged
that county officials and PEPCO
officers arrange q conference on
Prince Georges County advan-
tages for industry.
PEPCO holds an option on
land in Loudoun County Va,
but has held up purchase. The
District government has opposed
the location of the plant there as
Ia threa ito the District water
supply. Montgomery County
MD oft1cialS are urging PEPCO
to locate the plant there.
Mr.. Duckett's appeal came on
the heels Of a plea from Ralph
w. Powers, president Of the
Prince Georges County Chamber
of Commerce, who told Mr.. Dunn
that placement Of the plant in
his county south Of Washington
would eliminate objections from
District officials because the wa
ter contamination threat would
mot be raised.

BALTIMORE. Nov. 10 tR.-A
special Governor appointed COM
mission today characterized
Maryland's State Roads Commits
sion as an administrative mon
strosity in which some hands
many times do not know what
others are doing.
Many of the faults, 1t said.
could be corrected If the organ
ization were shuffled and put
under a single director instead of
the present three-man commits
sion.
The study was made by the
Commission on State Programs,
organization and finance.
1t undertook its work in July
at the request of Gov. McKeldin
when he was being badgered by
Democratic members OF the Cen
eral Assembly to put up the
money for an investigation of
the roads commission. At the
time. a right-of way scandal was
at its height.
The investigators took a spe-
Icial look at right-of-way buying
lit found this particular opera
Ition suffers neither more nor
less from administrative neglect
than other phases Of the roads
commissions operations
For one thing. 1t said, right
Iof-way engineers aren't paid
enough. and for the pay they
get you can't expect men with
the high qualifications needed.
