Sewage Crisis
BY GEORGE FLYNN

There's q new dawning In
Morningside. Nd, little island
of a town Just 20 minutes away
from the Capitol.
The 1855 session of the Mary
land General Assembly chased
away the dark clouds that have
frowned on the community since
its creation in 1919.
BY authorizing the extension
of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission to Morn
ingside, the lawmakers pointed
to q solution of the towns No.
! need-metropolitan water and
sewerage services.
The "Morningside bill" wasn't
enacted easily. A year ago the
towns leaders lobbied for and
won passage of a measure set
ting up the extension, but the
law was found faulty because
1t was passed in an even-year
session of the Legislature. when
only emergency" measures can
be considered.
Even if the legal authorities
didn't consider water and sewer
shortages an emergency. towns
people did. and Mayor Matthew
p. Rosch says he's happy the
emergency can be ended.
Water Shortages Cited.
He hopes the sanitary COM
mission can extend its lines
down Suitland parkway to
Morningside before the end of
the year.
The commission has said 1t
can complete the $743,000 prof.
ect In that time.
Since its incorporation in 1919,
Morningside has been best
known for its recurring crises
over water shortages and sew
age surpluses. Jet plane crashes
in the area also gave outsiders
q distorted view of life in Morn
ingside, says Mayor Rosch.
The water situation eased last
last with the installation of new
equipment by the Village Water
Co. But the non-abSorbent ma
ture of Morningside's soil, which
makes septic tanks generally
troublesome, demands that sewer
lines be installed to carry sewage
to a distant treatment plant.
The long struggle with the
Sanitary Commission and the
legislature paid extra dividends,
civic leaders say. 1t produced
unity and techniques which are
being applied to other problems.
Wants a Playground.
The community now is grid
ing for a campaign to set up a
summer recreation program and
1t wants the county to establish
o playground at Morningside.

Study Finds State
TwO-Car Trend Is
Picking Up Speed

Delaware's wives and teen-agers,
tired of being stranded when their
breadwinner drives the family car
to work. are sparkling a statewide
two-car boom, according to a spec
ial survey by Universal c. /. T.
Credit Corporation, the nations
largest Independent automobile fl
nancing firm.
The survey was conducted by the
heads of the company's 40 division
offices throughout the nation. One
of the company's offices is in Del
aware. In addition to observations
of these experienced executives, the
firm said, the survey included in
terviews with the hundreds of auto
mobile dealers served by Universal
c. /. T.
"Our survey disclosed that the
major reasons behind the purchase
of a second car" said vice presi-
dent w. B. Benson of Washington,
"are the trend to suburban living
and the need for a second car for
shopping and taking children to
school when the husband uses the
other car to get to work"
Another important reason, he
said, is that millions of teen-agers
are attaining driving age and an
increasing number are able to af
ford automobiles. This factor will
become even more important, he
pointed out, when the huge ''war
baby" population reaches driving
age in the 1960's.
