JUDGES TO PICK
WINNER FROM
20 FINALISTS
Well, tonight is the night.

WSAi, tOuA$nC Is Lne nIgnt.
AT 7:30 o'clock tonight (E'riday)
in the James e. Scott Homiss,
Auditorium at 1900 NV 22nd ave.
the panel of judges in Miami'S
Second Annual Carnation Healthy
Baby Contest will pick the lucky
winners who will share $685. in
cash prizes.
The three lucky babies and
their parents will win $500, 500
and $50 respectively. The remain
ing IL finalists will each receive
a prize of $500.
So. you think you'd like to- be
a judge in the Carnation Healthy
Baby Contest! It's a lot of fun,
all right, say the five well-known
local citizens who were selected
as judges - but all of them agree
they've never worked so hard in
their lives.
In their spare time, whenever
they have few free. hours Drs.
j. E. Hogan, G.. w. Styles and D.
d. Simpson, and Misses Marie
White and Dorothy Sanford
huddle togther and go through the
hundreds and hundreds of snap
shots you parents mailed in. It's
a gigantic task, according to one
of the judges. In a statement to
this paper he said, 1--WE realize
all your readers are most anxious
to learn who the prize winners
will be, but we do want to be
absolutely fair in our final
choices. So, if we're a little slow
in making up our minds" he
smiled, ats all the fault of our
local parents for having so many
cute babies!"
What makes the job doubly
difficult is that all judges must
agree on every prize winning
photo. Twenty top snapshots
must first be selected before the
judges can get down to the really
difficult part - deciding which
babies are the first, second and
third best.
When this newspaper wired the
Carnation Company in Los Ange-
les, CAL, about the tremendous
number of babies entered in this
Second Annual Healthy Baby
Contest, the company immediate
ly telegraphed us back how hap !.
by they were with the results.
The telegram read: 'Congratula-
tons to tine Miami Times for
making rhiS 1855 contest SO sue
cessful. Our sincere thanks to
every parent and baby who en-
tered, and to every local citizen
who volunteered to serve as
judges"
Don't fail to see next weeks

names and pictures of all the
winners.

have learned to know each other
better, thereby broadening our own
horizons. AS parents and teachers,
with the welfare of our children
as our common purpose, we have
studied together, played together
prayed together and seen the re-
suits of this fine cooperation. Yet,
with all this there is much to be
done. a few schools do not as yet
have organized groups. Four coun-
ties in the state of Maryland have

Along The Potomac
With Your Congressman
DEWITT S. HYDE

Water resources in our section OF
the country are more and more at
tracing the attention of official
Washington. | have found that the
Members of the Senate and the
House are becoming interest in the
many qualifications of the water
resources problem | have had my
office at work on many aspects of
the water problem as they have an
immediate bearing on the 9th Con-
gressional District of Maryland.
Foremost, and of immediate inn
portance is the problem of flood
control. | have reported to you the
progress we have made with re-
spect to the specific hazard in parts
of Western Maryland. We believe
that we are making progress in the
overall handling of both controlling
the floods in our streams and in
conserving the soil.
But flood control is just one of
the difficulties our rivers and
streams present Our water re-
sources are important to us for the
many uses to which water is put
these days and of equally great
value for recreational purposes. l
am sure that all of the people of
our District recognize this And
they further are aware of the fact
that our streams need to be clean.
l am particularly grateful to
those citizen groups which have
made as one of the goals of their
associations the prevention of pol
luton in all of our rivers. Such
special organization as the Western
Maryland Clean Streams Council
can do a great deal of good in
marshalling public support for
eliminating pollution from our
water resources.
My office is investigating every
means of approach in an effort to
search out the most satisfactory
methods of restoring the Potomac
River to a source of good clean and
healthful water. There is no need
for the people of our District to
have to forego the recreational
benefits of the river areas because
of a dangerous health condition re-
sulting from impure water.
Water transportation is no longer
with us, but we are all faced with
the difficulties presented by our
present systems of mass trans
portation Last week | appeared be
fore the House Appropriations sub
committee and urged the granting
of funds to carry out transit
study of this area have hopes the

cludcd in their regular supplies
An example of parents and teach
ers as partners in the great task OF
educating a child.
I'VE are building play ground
equipment with local supplies and
donated labor explained another
president of the Parent-Teacher
association. During the meeting, l
heard plans drawn up for home
made equipment, to make possible
some play time recreation for the
school children, and to be used by
all the community's children dur
ing the summer months. An eX-
ample of an entire community
working on a project to help de-
velop the entire personality of a
child. | wondered on my way home
if the parents would not get a
thrill out of accomplishing this
project, equal to the delighted
youngsters who would use it,
Our P-TA. was the leader in
building an outdoor fireplace and
picnic area for our community,
said another president. The many
hours spent together in this project
helped the community to grow in
understanding and good fellowship,
while they we're promoting whole
some recreation for their young
people.
with our own hands we eXca-
waited for a basement room at our
school. so we could serve the
youngsters a hot lunch" Il am go
ing to recommend them for an
Oscar, said another school. The
project is now completed, with the
broadening of the children's hori-
zon. as a school lunch program is
added to their total life and eX-
perience.
These are a few of the examples
| have seen and heard in my past
few years of P-T.A. work. They are
the tangible results of understand
ing and cooperation.
What are the intangible ones?
The changed attitude of parents,
the breaking down of many walls
of misunderstanding that some
times exist between a parent and
a teacher. Parents coming to realize
that the home, in large part, fur
nishes the basic attitude of the
child, and that they can help the
teacher by fostering the right ones
in their child.
On countrywide level, we have
come together, discussed our COM
mon problems, and heard some
