The newly elected officers of
the Damascus Lions Club were
indicted at the meeting June q
by Deputy District Governor
Austin Carlin of the Bethesda
Lions Club.
The new officers are: presi
dent, Henry Woodfield; first vice
president, John l.. King; second
vice president, Ernest Lipford
third vice. president Everett
Jones; secretary, Hal D. Craw
ford; treasurer, Bail B. Burdette;
Lion tanner, Richard Ayers; tai

bers of the board of directors
Cleveland Hyatt and Jack Day
Hold over members of the board
of directors are Oliver Watkins
and William Freienmuth.
In reporting on the various
activities of the year, it was re.
ported that a total of $l.292 AZ
was raised and that for the fiscal
year July 81 to the present
S779.56 had been spent out.
incidentally the Lions this year
as they have each year in the
past will sponsor free swimming
lessons for children over eight in
the Laytonsville and Damascus
districts. The lessons will be
given under the direction of Red
Cross instructors at Cramer's
pool. 1t is very important that
your child learns to swim.
The combination of warm
weather and available farm
ponds, pools, streams or even the
Potomac produce an almost ire
sistible urge to go swimming
This is fine and healthy fun if
your child can swim. 1t can lead
to the same kind of tragedy as
struck last week when one child
was drowned and her sister was
saved only by prompt action of
two Damascus Lions, Hal Craw
ford and Cleveland Hyatt.

Back to White Continent

It is getting to be habit with Rear
Admiral Richard E. Byrd this revisiting
Of the worlds most remote, coolest and
least known continent, Antarctica. He
Is on his way toward the South Polar
regions for the nth time in his dis
tinguished career as an explorer of the
globes receding Ice caps. The retired
Navy admiral is doing his best to make
the Antarctica seem less remote, less
forbidding and better known to those Of
us who dream Of such adventures but
leave the realization of the dreams to
others.
Four times before, the bold and
hardy virginian has explored vast areas
OF the frozen continent by air, ship and
sled. Each trip has but whetted the
desire of Admiral Byrd to delve further
into the mysteries Of the icy wastes at
the bottom Of the world. He is con-
vinced that untold mineral treasures lie
beneath the ice and snow there. He
foresees year-round settlements there,
perhaps bases Of military value. He told
reporters before heading south that he
regards Antarctica as a potential nat

Tough Tolk

In an interview with an East German
Communist youth newspaper, Deputy
Premier Chen vi Of Red China has been
quoted as saying that his country will
launch an armed invasion of Formosa II
negotiations with the United States break
down. He also has been quoted as saying
that the Mao Tze-tung regime is actively
preparing for such an adventure by build
ing railroads, airfields and ships on the
scale needed to support an all-out attack
on the Chinese Nationalist stronghold.
As he has put it, "the Americans must.
vanish" from the area or Peiping win
sooner or later resort to force to shatter
the armies Of Chang Kai-shek and lib
crate" the island.
This is the first time In several weeks
that q high official of Red China has
given voice to such line of tough talk.
True, it is a familiar old line, but its
revival at the present juncture while our
ambassador continues to negotiate more
or less fruitlessly with Peiping's envoy in
Geneva--is an event that merits some
attention Although 1t may represent
nothing but an empty bluff, or misquota-
tion, 1t fits In with voiuminous evidence
OF . steady Communist military build-up
across from Formosa, and it therefore
ought not to be discounted entirely.

Is the beginning" he said, "of the OPEN
Ing up Of great continent which will
be Of value to generations to come and
to the peace-loving peoples Of the world.
It won't be such lonely place hence
forth as it has been in the past"
Admiral Byrd this time is heading
q naval expedition for the limited pur-
pose of setting up three bases for scien-
tific observations in connection with the
international Geophysical Year program
in 1857. All major nations are partici-
pating in these observations. which are
designed to throw more light on meteor
illogical and other phenomena. While
the scientists are looking to their instru-
mentS, however, the veteran polar ex-
plorer undoubtedly will be looking far
beyond the horizons set for the current

Fairfax Plans Its Sewers

1t was appropriate that the first part
Of the proposed Fairfax County master
plan to receive approval was that proyid-
ing for public sewerage system. Build
Ing construction Is proceeding so rapidly
In the county that inadequate facilities
for collecting and disposing of sewage
have become pressing problem. 1t is the
responsibility Of the county government
to see that this sanitation emergency is
met with measures, either privately or
publicly sponsored, that will avert health
hazards and promote orderly develop
ment.
The Fairfax Planning Commission
has accepted in general the public
sewerage program outlined in consult
ants report, but has expanded 1t in
several respects. The amended plan
calls for county sewers In most Of the
more densely settled areas of the county,
principally in the communities nearest
to Washington. Fairfax County already
is going forward with sewer extension
and sewage disposal program designed to
reduce the amount of pollution entering
the Potomac River. The Planning Com
mission recommended that all Of the
broad Pimmit Run watershed be included
IN the sewerage expansion program, with
ultimate treatment facilities that would
pour the eff1uent into the river below the
Washington water-supply intake above
Dalecarlia. This is an important consid-
Grafton. 1t is gratifying that Virginia
authorities are cooperating in the efforts
to avoid any contamination Of the Dis
trict water supply, part Of which is used
by Arlington and Falls Church.
The Fairfax County sewerage pro-
gram is being financed through bond
issues. The citizens Of the county have
not hesitated to vote for such bonds in
the case Of sewers. Recently. however.
they baked at approving $30-million
bond issue for a public water system.
There is good reason to believe, however.
that they are as much concerned with
the problem Of obtaining an adequate
and safe water supply as with the urgency
OF sewers and disposal plants. Given a
more explicit water plan than the one
on which the bond proposal was based,
1t is a good bet that the voters would
approve It.

Song in Her Heart

What a pleasant surprise it
was to read in The Sunday

Post is underwriting q Ave-
week series of 35 concerts by
the National Symphony Or
chestra--these concerts TO be
free for visiting high school
students who swarm by the
thousands into the Nations
Capital each spring between
Easter and Memorial Day.
This series. conceived by
Conductor Howard Mitchell
and called Music for Young
America" should prove to be
a top student-tourist attrac-
ton, as well as a highly
memorable experience for these
young tourists. It is difficult
TO think Of anything that can
quite compare with the JOY
to be found In listening TO live
symphonic music. particularly
Of such excellence as that rem
dered by the National Sym
phony Orchestra.
Hats OF and three cheers for
Mrs. Post and Conductor Nit
chell for this musical innova-
ton on behalf Of teen-age
Americans!
