Smithville site as possible
county road depot.
The county recreation depart
ment has expressed interest in
the past in the sites at LaytonS-
vile. Spencerville, Smithville,
Scotland and Norbeck. AT pre-
sent Smithville, Scotland and
Norbeck are being used by the
department as summer play
grounds.
Forest Gustafson, director, re.
ported that a delegation from
Spencerville had made a recent
request that this site be kept for
a community center.
The only site of interest to
Superintendent Norris is the one
at Laytonsville which has 1885
acreage which can be used for
future school construction. The
other sites are too small to be
considered.
1t is expected that the School
Board will decide a final policy
on this old problem as soon as
the County Manager has made
his recommendations.

and a homemakers club took adj
vantage of this opportunity.
On August II of last year, the
board passed a resolution to sell
the properties to the county for
a nominal fee of one dollar, with
the county continuing the agree
mentS with the community
groups where possible.
The feeling of the board at
the time and of some present
members, including Wylie Bar
row and Lathrop Smith, is that
the School Board should not
continue to hold title to proper
ties not used for schools. Harri.
son King, on the other hand,
saw no need for a change of
policy at this time as long as
the buildings were still being
used by the communities.
Mr.. King felt that the board
had an obligation to keep faith
with the people on past agree
mentS. He cited Damascus as an
example of school building that
suddenly became a road depot in
the middle of town without the
residents having any choice in
the matter.
The County Managers office
is at present preparing list of
the properties which the county
would be interested in taking
over. In an interview last week
with President Willard McGraW,
Mr.. Reese gave as his opinion
that the money from the sale of
any of these properties should
not go into the general fund but
be earmarked for school con-
struction purposes solely. He
also expressed an interest in the

There are two basic types of
diets, reducing" and "mainte-
nance" For the first there are
any number of interesting varia-
tons ranging from lettuce leaves
and cottage cheese to the one for
lucky people who can afford steak
three times a day. In this you
can name your own particular
poison.
It's the maintenance diet that
is the real test of your will power
because for this one you have to
change the habits of lifetime.
Time is a factor here and "sloW
and easy does it.
1t took me four years to change
my coffee drinking habits from
two heaping spoons of sugar with
gobs of cream to little SKINNED

off-my reaction to coffee with

Now, if you are interested, is
good time to start since excess
poundage in hot weather is never
more unbearable but l have one
last suggestion. Go to work for
the Sentinel, manage a house, a
husband and three children with
out help and you can eat what
you please and not gain an ounce!
Two interesting projects are on

By Dewitt S. Hyde,
Congressman

During the past week l had
the opportunity of talking with
the Secretary of Labor about the
meaning of the general economic
outlook to labor. He pointed out
that the healthier the economy
the better the working man fares,
and the prospects are that there
will be fewer and fewer unem-
eoyed as, the year progresses.
Those who are employed will be
taking home fatter pay envelopes.
l think, also, you will be in
terested in his remarks on in
dustrial peace. The Secretary
said that good employer-employee
relations can be developed only
when the parties sit down at the
bargaining table properly dispos,
ed toward each other.
He went on to say that when
the government interjects itself
on the side of one or the other
parties in a labor dispute, it's
just like putting a horseshoe in
the glove of a boXer-hiS oppon-
ent doesn't have much chance.
1t certainly isn't fair for the gov
eminent to be the horseshoe for
one side or the other. The gov
ernment's sole interest must be
that of protecting the public and
not as an advocate of workers
or employers.
Both the Senate and the House
are moving on legislative matters.
Some of the proposals before the
Congress have become obScured
in smoke screens generated by
partisan politics. Among them is
the highway construction bill;
Nere is no valid reason for this
important proposal to have be-
come the victim of a political
haSSle.
Extension of the Small Bust
ness Administration is a delayed
surety. l would like to point out
that l believe that such agencies
should be independent and out
where their goings-on can be
watched and not buried in one
of the Departments. 1t is better
for the government and for the
small businessmen who would be
served.
Marylanders will appreciate the
action of Congress in making
possible the restoration of the
markers that set off the bound
airy between our State and Della
ware. They will also be pleased
with the progress of the bill to

l am very happy to report that
the Congress will correct an un.
fortunate situation which has
arisen through Defense Depart.
ment directive which set a fee
for the issuance of copies of lost

these fees for service men but al
so for their survivors.

New Tax Explained

In answer to questions coming
to his office about the sales and
use tax change which went into
effect this month, State Comp
troller J. Willard Tawes pointed
out that the tax does not apply
to permanent rentals of apart
mentS, houses or rooms used as
the regular home of the occupant.
The tax has always applied to
rentals of living Accommodations
to tourists and other transient
guests.

Thomask SiSk in their new home
The meeting of Seneca District
W.M.U. at Germantown Baptist
church on last Thursday, July
18th stressed the theme of For
ward With Christ" The newest
society, Montrose Baptist church,
was well represented and gave
very challenging report. The
singing was ably led by Mrs.
MoOrehead, the welcome was
given by Mrs. R. w. RaWn, presi-
dent of the host churches group
and devotionals were led by your
writer. Special music was rend-
cred by Montrose, with a report
by Mrs. c. A. Brubaker on the
Miami convention.
Afternoon Prayer period was
led by Mrs. T. Shreeve. A very
special treat was enjoyed by all
present when Abraham Paier of
the PHILIPPINES spoke on For
ward in the Philippines" He has
finished his preparation in the
states for missionary work with
his people and soon will return
to minister there.
The special music by our Sen
eca Executive Committee excited
our warmest gratitude. They will
sing again at the invitation of the
group when the association meet
ing is held this fall.
Last but not least we were
privileged to meet and hear our
new secretary of Maryland Youth,
Miss Erlene Gaskins of Balti-
more. Adjournment came at 2:30
with our Mrs. H. c. Dubois lead
ing the afternoon session.
Mrs. j. c. Ledbetter was unable
to attend due to illness. We also
missed our secretary, Mrs. Fan

Slow Down and Live

The National Safety Council and the
Association of Insurance and Casualty
Companies have issued grim forecasts of
trafnc slaughter for the forthcoming
Labor Day week end. The insurance or
ganization, composed of Arms whose in
spectors daily see the tragic consequences
OF recklessness on the highways, predicts
that 40 men, women and children will
meet sudden death in automobile acct
dents from pm. today to Monday at
midnight. The council foresees at least
400 deaths. These are authoritative esti-
mates, based on CHASTITY statistics for SIM
liar three-day holiday week ends.
The insurance association even breaks
the expected death toll down into cate
gories. Every motorist could profit by
bordering the warning that of the 40
victims, 1875 will die because of excessive
speed, IS because of driving on the wrong
side of the road, AZ because of other types
OF recklessness, 80 because of failure to
yield right of way, 20 because Of falling
asleep at the wheel and 100 others because
of miscellaneous violations of safe driving
or walking rules. Besides the deaths,
some $4,000 drivers and passengers and
5000 pedestrians are due to be injured
during the 78-hour period. One out of
four drivers or pedestrians will have been
drinking just before his fatal accident.
Labor Day will mark the end of this
years Summer-long "slow down and live"
drive, sponsored by the insurance COM
panies and by highway and traffic author
tiles in many States. The statistics on
which the Labor Day accident forecasts
were based show that the war on speeding
and other offenses is thoroughly justified.

Tumble Them All Down

It would be a quicker, cleaner job
II the President, emulating Joshua, would
assemble the members of his cabinet,
have them blow mighty blast on their
trumpets of rams horn and bring the
the walls of Jericho.
AS long as their demolition is to
follow priority list, however, the Fine
Arts Commission could have made no
better choice for first place than the
monstroSity known as Tempo " This
war-SpaWned symbol of confusion and
futility, occupying what once was an
attractive, graSs-covered park on Penn
sylvania avenue between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets, won this position Of
honor on the priority list the day it was
built. Running it close second are the
other temporary buildings which intrude
their ugly presence on the Lincoln Me-
mortal and the Mall. The fact that White
House pressure is responsible for the
splendid news that Tempo v is slated for
early destruction is highly encouraging.
1t takes that sort Of pressure from the
top to get things started. 1t must con-
tinue
The big shack known as Tempo v
is close relative of the little shack that
stands on an adjoining and equally
defaced park in front of the District
Building. Both of them should go down
together. The little shack houses the
Director of the Veterans Service Center.
The staff is housed across the street in
Tempo v. Wherever the staff goes, the
director should go-thus removing the
only obstacle, as prominent as it may be,
to destruction Of the little shack.
Washington would surely applaud the
Commissioners for tearing down the little
shack, thus furnishing tangible evidence
OF their desire to help restore some of
Washingtons beauty that lackadaisical
tolerance of eyesores has destroyed.

Numerous objections have
been urged to Langley as a
site for CHA. There have been
no objections to the Winkler
tract in Alexandria. and 1t has
many important advantages,
Traffic to and from Washing
ton could use Shirley Highway
at times when most Shirley
traffic is going in the opposite
direction.
There is another possible site
in Alexandria that might prove
to be most desirable. A bridge
will be built from Jones Point
to Maryland. In the planning
for this bridge, II a tract of
sufficient acreage can be found
for CHA, 1t would have many
advantages over a Langley
site.
From the security stand
point, 1t could have the river
on one side and parkways on
other sides. It would be near
err the Pentagon and Wash
ington than Langley is. 1t
would be only minutes away
from large areas Of Prince
Georges County. The eastern
end of the Jones Point bridge
will be only short distance
from the Capitol.
In the overall planning for
Jones Point bridge, it might
be possible to set aside q site
for CHA. and save millions in
expenditures for land, access
roads and approaches.

BurIesque in Korea

Now that the So-called Neutral Ma
lions Supervisory Commission is to reduce
both the size of its inspection teams and
the scale of it's operations in Korea, the
next logical step should be It's complete
abolition-and the sooner the better.
In calling upon the Communists to
agree to such action, the United Nations
Command has merely followed recon-
mendation long since suggested by the
Swedish and Swiss representatives on the
four-nation misc. The recommendation
is based on the fact that the Polish and
Czech Reds (the two other members)
have made farce of the agency. They
have done SO by deliberately and per-
sistently working with Peiping and
Pyongyang to prevent the kind of polic-
ing operations provided for in the Korean
neutrality-suspicious. designed to detect
violations and crack down on treachery.
AS a resultant this helps to explain
the recent ill-advised but nonetheleSs
understandable South Korean rioting
against "spies" on the truce inspection
teams-the misc has been a powerless
and virtually meaningless thing since
it's inception. Meanwhile regular intelli-
gence sources have uncovered an album
dance of evidence indicating that the
Communists have been flagrantly violat-
ing the armistice with big buildup Of
military force. And so the U. N. Com
mand is on solid ground in asking for
the NNSC's dismantlement because of the
way the Reds have used the agency to
create Constructions and Illustrations"
OF course, under terms of the truce,
the misc must be maintained as long
as the Communists want 1t. But their
fraudulent use of it has become so clear
that they themselves ought to be about
ready to abandon 1t. In any event the
free nations involved should keep on
emphasizing to the world that the Reds
have made such burlesque of the COM
mission that 1t has no real reason for
further existence.
