The phenomenal saturation of
the suburbs has suddenly trans
formed Washington from a city.
standing alone. into the heart
of a great metropolis that now
sprawls over an area "a times
the size of the Capital.
With this most exciting ex-
pansion in its history. Washing
ton sees unfolding a sociological
drama whose full impact can
not be measured for many years
to come.
Here are $500 square miles
of the rich Mid-Atlantic region,
bordered on the north and east
in Maryland by the Patuxent
River and on the south in Mary
land by the Mattawoman. In
Virginia the boundary is the
Occoquan Greek to the south and
Loudoun County on the west.
The area embraces Montgom-
cry and Prince Georges Coun-
ties, Alexandria, Arlington, Falls
Church and all of Fairfax.
Many Common Concerns
The interests, to be sure, are
diverse. Yet there also are many
common concerns.
The people must deal, on the
one hand, with the complex
problems of urban concentration.
At the same time, they are con-
fronted by questions of a strictly
rural nature.
But, in broad Interpretation
of the term, inevitable unity lies
ahead with steady development
of Metropolitan Washington.
Wherever one turns there is
change.
The population is increasing
by unprotected leaps. New hous-
ing springs up overnight. Schools
are being built at an incredible
rate, yet there is need for count
less others.
Within the District, people of
the lower economic level have in
vaded more desirable neighbor-
hoods in quest of better living,
Old inhabitants, yielding to the
irrepressible surge, are abdicat-
ing mansions in favor of seclu-
sion at more distant points.
Flight to Suburbs
Traffic clogs the streets and
highways and public transporta-
| ton systems are burdened with
passengers constantly on the
move between city and suburbs
All this, of course. is not
unique to Washington. Cities
throughout the United States are
experiencing what has been
called the flight to the suburbs
But Metropolitan Washington
differs from other communities
in notable ways. In contrast to
, some, the area covers three ma
jor political jurisdictions, the
District. Virginia and Maryland
1t differs from all others ir
that the core-the Districts a
Federal city. Unlike their fellow
, Americans, citizens of the Capital
, cannot vote. And the District
cannot expand it's boundaries to
annex adjacent land.
Rise In Negro Population
The Negro is an important So
Geological factor in the changing
Washington scene. AS seat of the
Federal Government and as the
Southernmost unsegregated city
the District naturally attracts
large numbers of colored resi-
dents. The result has been an alb
normal increase in the Negro
population.
In a logical exercise of their
rights, the colored are integral
ing with the white community
and, as consequence, have great
impact upon the living pattern
of the whole area.
1t is obvious that some white
residents have moved from in
, tegrated sections to more re-
, stricted developments because of

years ago requiring that boards
and commissions of state agen-
cies and authorities be open to
the public.
Governor Frank ]. Lausche
signed the measure, which re-
ceived heavy support from both
houses of the Ohio General AS
sembly, on July to be effective
80 days later in September 80.
Passage of the law followed a
statewide study by the Ohio
Newspaper Association and its
Freedom of information Com
mittee headed by George A.
Smallsreed, Sr,, editor. The Co
lumbus Dispatch. The study
showed a need existed to insure
that public meetings be always
open to the public and the press.
1t also indicated that there were
no laws for handling closed
meeting situations.
Senator Charles A. Mosher,
published, The Oberlin News
Tribune, a weekly newspaper,
introduced the bill in the recent
ly-adjourned 101st Ohio General
Assembly, and it was approved
by both houses with little opposi-
ton. In presenting the bill IN the
legislature, Senator Mosher
said its purpose was to insure
that public business is the pub
lies business in Ohio" Several
instances were cited where pub
lie officials or agencies had held
meetings closed to the public and
the press to take official action.
The new law requires that call
meetings of any board, commits
sion, agency or authority of any
county, township, municipal cor
poration, school district or other
political subdivision are declared
to be public meetings open to
the public at all times. 1t further
provides that ''No resolution,
rule, regulation or formal action
of any kind shall be adopted at
any executive session" and
that minutes of a regular or
special session shall be promptly
recorded and open to public
inspection.

of clothing"
The clothing collected will be
used to aid children and families
in ten overseas countries, on the
Navajo Indian Reservation, and
in isolated rural areas of the
United States. Part of the cloth
ing viii be held in reserve by the
Federation to be rushed to areas
stricken by disasters.
It's d wonderful public ser
vice venture for the W.C.T.U.," "
Mrs. Clark said. Thousands of
kids still need clothing badly.
I'm sure that the people of
our county will want to help
them. Clothing should be brought
TO the Methodist church at Cald-
well, the Methodist church at
Ava and Mrs. Anna Archibald, at
Sharon.
Mrs. Clark gives these pointers
to clothing contributors: Bring
clean, Wearable clothes of all
kinds coats, dresses, sweaters,
shirts, pants, underwear. Chill
dren's shoes are very important.
Many youngsters lack adequate
footwear Babies clothing is in
constant demand. Diapers, crib
blankets, night shirts, warm
sweaters and undershirts are
especially needed. Adult cloth
ing is also needed
Mrs. Clark stressed the impor-
tance of having all clothing gifts
clean and in as good repair as
possible because these gifts will
be symbols Of hope to many
needy children"
This does not apply to just
W.C.T,U. members. Anyone wish
ing to donate clothing in this
drive, can take OF send to the
locations named above.

Farm Accidents Are
More Plentiful Each
Year, Survey Reveals

Between $4,000 and $4,000
farm residents will be killed in
accidents this year if the 1855
death rate conforms with that
of previous years. Another
100000 or more may be injur-
ed.
According to the National
Safety Council, which with the
Department of Agriculture is
co-sponsoring National Farm
Safety Week from July 24-30.
Farming is the nations third
most hazardous industry. Min
ing and construction have a
higher rate of work deaths per
100000 workers, but agriculture
has the highest number of ac-
cidental work deaths.
Because farm mishaps tend to
occur most often during late
morning or afternoon hours,
when the body reflexes are more
sluggish, many safety men re-
commend that rural workers
emulate office and factory en-
ployeS and take brief coffee
breaks about 1890 a. m. and
$3.50 p. m.
In one nationwide industrial
study 81 per cent of the person
mel men interviewed reported
that coffee breaks helped to re-
duce fatigue; 80 per cent report
ed a lower accident rate.
The National Safety council
included the following among
major unsafe acts" which farm
ers should guard against; failure
to make regular safety inven-
tories; hurry (taking shortcuts
that cause accidents; using de-
fective, unguarded, or wrong
equipment; in attention (day
dreaming while working with
heavy machinery or near hazard
Gus work.; improper animal
handling; violating conmonsense
safety rules; allowing children
near dangerous machinery.
