Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1955-09-15

MI. anu WITS. LEWIS tl6eu OF
Gaithersburg have just returned
from a two-month grand tour
London, Scotland, Ireland, Paris,
Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland
- and though their friends are
envious, the Reeds are glad to
be home.
The Reeds have been to Europe
before ito see the sights. This
time they went ito see the
people" From the time they
stepped off the liner United
States in Southampton, England,
June Is - their 35th wedding an.
niversary - until they boarded a
Sabena airliner at Brussels, Bel
GUM, to fly back August 16, the
Reeds visited little known corners
of nine countries by train, bus, car
and foot.
And they returned with some
off-beat observations not usually
garnered by most American
"sight-SeerS".
Mrs. Reed remembers the sin.
cere gratitude of the British, even
aften 10 years of peace. "One
woman wanted me to tell the
Americans how very grateful the
British are for the gracious way
we helped them during the war.
She says they would have gone

into the dressing room to CON
graduate her.
Later, during dinner at the
tenor's home, Miss Meyer noticed
that she could differentiate light
and dark. How does she explain
the improvement in her condi-
ton. Il think it was a combina-
ton of the warm, dry Italian
climate and my happiness and
contentment."
But when her money ran out,
she had to leave the Home for
the Blind where she was staying
and return to the U. S. Her total
blindness returned. Longing to
go back to Italy, Miss Meyer
says, I'D like to see if my eyes
improve again
The publicity resulting from
her trip brought two offers of
eyes, one from an Italian clerk,
the other from a German in the
French Foreign Legion. Her con
dition, however, cannot be help
ed by eye transplants.
Miss Meyer has $3.50 saved to-
ward her trip. THE round trip
plane fare is $3.50. If l could get
to Italy, l could stay with some
of the many friends l made"
She fancy-stitches leather
goods to make money. During
the County Fair she took 80 or
ders for belts, wallets, pocket
books, and key cases. Working
fevershly to save enough money

Seismic Activity
To Gain In 1855,
Survey Indicates

TULSA, Okla. -"Geophysicists
are convinced they can improve
their skill in finding oil. Their
formula calls for better interpre-
tation Of seismic findings :.
closer coordination with geolo-
gists." That is the report from
special survey, made by The Oil
and Gas Journal, among top geo.
physicists in scattered parts Of
the oil country.
Seismic activity has been at low
ebb, the report points out. Costs
are higher and may rise even more.
Odds against finding new oil fields,
especially major discoveries, are
gradually rising.
The Journal survey, appearing in
that magazines February Ia issue,
shows that geophysicists are keen
~ aware Of the problems confront
ting them. But they are sure they
can make their seismic work q big
ger bargain than in the past by
improving their results with: i'm
proved Interpretation methods; bet
ter field techniques; more detailed
shooting; improved Instruments
ton.
1.-THE decline in seismic explora-
ton may be reversed this year."
the Journal says. "But the upturn
probably will be gradual. Average
estimate of geophysicists covered
by the survey indicates that seis-
mic activity this year will be 8 to
6 per cent greater than in 1854"

PUBLIC HOUSING YIELDS
MORE THAN SLUM AREAS

"If public housing does not pay
taxes, it makes payments in lieu Of
taxes. And these are invariably
more than the taxes collected from
the slum properties which we re-
placed The point Is we are
building where private enterprise
is not, returning to the municipali-
ties on the average three times
what they once received from phi
vate enterprise"
Slusser said that there are more
than 8 million substandard homes
in the u. s. and that their replace
ment is too big a job for private
enterprise. The substandard homes,
''the slums, the blighted areas, the
breeders of disease. crime, juvenile
delinquency, and horrendous mu-
nicipal expenses are not being elm
mated except by governmental ac-
ton, such as public housing brings"
Eye Quick Profits
He explained that private build
ers would derive q very slim profit
if building for the low-income class
served by public housing and there
fore they work in areas where prof.
its are quick and tangible.
Slusser said the average public
housing tenant has an income OF
around $4,000, "far below the
amount necessary to afford even
the cheapest standard housing"
The basic problem and the an
swer to opponents Of the program
he said, is simply whether to SUBJ
sidize O slum or o decent home.
