Residents Plan to Fight
IAccotink Creek Sewage

like to see even the present Town
of Fairfax plant eliminated.
Mr.. Young believes this could
be done by installing a trunk
line from the Town Of Fairfax
to the county sewer system at
Annandale. In this way, the town
sewage would 60 into the county
system and be treated at the
big plant on Fort Hunt road.
County officials, however. fear
that the county sewer system
could not accommodate an In
creased load such as that would
bring.
Mr.. Young said he would go to
court If necessary to prevent any
additional sewage facilities on
the stream. Fort Belvoir repre-
sentatives. in an appearance be-
fore the Board Of County Super
visors last week, acknowledged
that they withdrew opposition to

plant. but declared that they
still would rather see sewage
from that area treated in an

Council Adopts
NewzoningLaw
nUpperCounty

Upper Montgomery County
will come under the effect of a
permanent coming ordinance that
will permit some construction on
half-acre lots throughout most
of the area.
The county council yesterday
adopted unanimously the ordi-
nance with two members, Mrs.
Stella B. Werner and j. Grahame
Walker issuing statements term
ing it inadequate.
The council in an earlier ac-
ton without objection repealed
a temporary coming ordinance
that would have imposed a 10
acre minimum lot size on most
of the agricultural area.
Climaxes Long Fight
Yesterdays action climaxed a
fiye-year fight over rural coming
and brought an end to five post
ponements Of the effective date
of the temporary ordinance. The
temporary ordinance had been
passed by the former council at
Ia lame duck session two days
latter the 1854 elections.
Besides the residential agri-
cultural zone with the half-acre
minimum lot size the ordinance
provides for an estate zone with
a 2-acre minimum lot size for
the Potomac-Darnestowl Hunt
country and the Sugar Loaf
Mountain area near Comus. Also
provided are commercial. indus

family units per acre,
The ordinance had been pro-
posed by the Upper County Plan
ming Commission after it had re-
jected a proposed 5-acre mini
mum lot size recommended by
planning consultant Irving c.
Root. Mr.. Root had recommended
the smaller lot sizes for areas
adjacent to existing communities.
Violation Charged
Mrs. Werner said the perma-
nent ordinance was not good,
was in violation of State law
and would lead to steam poll
luton, premature subdivision and
higher governmental costs.
Council President Robert T.
Snure and four other councilmen
issued a statement terming the
ordinance "a milestone in the
progress" of the county and said
it was the result Of debate on
suggestions and recommends
tons made in the public eye and
in a democratic manner, and
would promote the health, Sc
curity, general welfare and morals

LETTER TO IBR EDiTn

Of all eoHrefned 1t Is the yesppnsi-
bility Of the theatre TO bring top
notch entertainment to IFS many
patrons. 1t is also the intent Of
management to keep It's patrons
well informed.
Recently the orpeheum Theatre
found it not only necessary but
compulsory to raise admission
prices on general admission and
ioge seats very slightly. Students,
II to Is inclusive, were favored
with a $40 reduction on each adj
mission. This reduction was accom-
plished through careful planning
and consideration.
To understand why the local
theatre raised admission for adults
ten cents, including the tax, is
best explained by quoting the fol-
lowing, which is taken from page
one of Harrison's reports to the
theatre industry dated November
%, 1855. We. quote word for word.
There are times in a mans life
when ignorance is bliss, but in
business, particularly todays movie
business, 1T Is the root of miSfor-
tune and an Invitation to disaster.
mo one has to tell you that the
excessive film rentals demanded
nowadays are your Ne. l problem,
because the distributors, who seek
to take advantage of your dire
need for product, think nothing of
demanding anywhere from 40 per
cent to 80 percent of your gross,
depending on how they rate their
individual pictures. Exhibitor Or
ganization lttdeatre' owners) are
preparing an about fight to obtain
relief from excessive film rentals"
A few years ago pictures we're
rented toia theatre on flat rental
basis. Today, such is not the case
except in Very rare instances. Each
picture is contracted for separate
ly and guarantee Of so much per
picture is paid. but it does not end
at this point, a boxoffice report is
then filed With the distribution
company, In this case in Seattle,
they assess d 40 to 80 percent Of
gross receipts against the theatre,
the theafFe in turn pays the dis
tributor the balance due them.
All expenses, such as Seattle
drayage, ocean. freight, Kodiak
wharfage handling and drayage is
paid by the theatre, not once, but
two separate times, as the same
film must be returned to Seattle
and paid for on its round trip, by
the local theatre. Again the charges
do not end at this point, but there
are short subjects such as Car
ICONS, comedies and other interest
ing short subjects that must be
paid for separately, overhead taxes,
maintenance, help, etc. Plus all
new installation charges against
renewal of existing equipment or
installation of the newest and
latest type of equipment in order
TO present the latest in photo

field.

of the important problems that
must be faced and are being handl-
ed by present management in it's

in their way. And when you go
from one city to another and you
visit the collective farms and the
irrigation projects you are ire
mendously impressed by tn e
scope and the speed of their social
construction. But that's not the
thing that impressed me most.
The thing that impressed me most
was the intangible, spiritual quail
ity which found in Israel. Every
where I went people had a sense
of dedication. l tried to figure out,
what was the source, what was
the well-spring out of which came
this great spiritual power, this
common denominator of self-dedi-
cation to this task of building a
nation? What was the secret of
this great power? And I came to
this conclusion that one of the
great tragedies of the world, and
certainly of the free world, is the
more and more and more the free
nations that make up this world
alliance tend to fashion their pro-
grams or their policies in the
images of our fears and our
hatreds.
1sraers greatness comes out Of
the fact that they are putting
forth a tremendous effort in re-
sisting aggression wherever it
may raise its ugly head. and while
they are fighting against their
enemy they recognize the fact
that this is the purely negative
aspect Of their efforts. and they
are working to build in the image
of their common hopes and their
common aspirations and their
common faith. They are fighting
for the things they believe in. Toe
often the free world just fights
against the things they are op-
posed to. And that's one of the
great tragedies, that we need to
find a way in the world to gel
people and nations. working and
marching and building not be-
cause they have common fears
and common hatreds but because
they share a common vision Of a
better tomorrow. because they
share common hopes and common
aspirations in a common faith.
And that's why Israel today is an
important symbol. because it's .
living. tangible demonstration Of
what a free people in common
dedication. common devotion and
with common aspirations can
achieve.
