that has been made-the hospital time of the
average tuberculosis patient has been cut almost
in half.
Although we now have powerful weapons
to aid in our eternal fight against disease, much
remains to be done. There is host of killers
and cripplers-such heart disease. cancer,

The road of medical progress is neither
short nor smooth. But we've passed many
bright signs along its way that point to longer,

Futher Knoll Holds
Special Service Of
Thunks IN Holy Cross

Father Superior Mark Knoll
held special thanksgiving ser
vices in the fire-scarred Holy
Cross Roman Catholic Church
in Christiansted last night.
He was assisted by Father
Buono.
The Church has been clean
ed up by the students OF the
ST. Mary's School under the
direction and help OF the
Reverend Mothers. A string
of lights used in decoration OF
the streets during festival
was run around the interior
of the church and connected
from the Presbytery to sup
ply light for conducting the
service. A tiny organ from the
Convent is being used until
repairs are effected and anoth
er organ is secured to replace
the pipe organ that was com
pletely destroyed by the re-
cent fire.
Father Knoll said that be-
cause the Christmas season
is here, he would prefer to
wait until after it has passed
before starting q drive TOR
funds to repair the damage
wrought by the fire.
Despite the anxiety of many
persons to contribute in some
way to the restoration Of the
church, no one has been given
authority to collect funds.
This will be done after tthe
holidays and announcement
of plans for the drive made
accordingly.

recommendations before a mas
ter plan is prepared.
Inner Belt Asked
The Board of Trade is propos-
ing an inner belt all of which
either has been built or is sched-
uled for early construction in
Montgomery County. 1t would
include Cameron street, Fenton
street. Bonifant street and Sec
ond avenue.
Cameron street would be cut
through from Georgia avenue to
Second avenue. Improvement and
widening of Second avenue and
Bonifant street on the east side
of Georgia also are on construc-
ton schedules.
The outer belt would include
the proposed extension of Six
teenth street via Arson street
to Georgia avenue. On the east
side of Georgia it would include
the use of the proposed Spring
street which loops around to
Colesville road.
Work Is Budgeted
From Colesville road the outer
loop would include Cedar street
through to Wayne avenue. Work
on this project already has been
budgeted by the county.

then calls for cutting through a
new section of road between

Representative Richard H. Poff
accepted a harmony seeking 9Th
district Republican convention
nomination for a third term to-
day with a challenge to his
Democratic opponent to debate
issues in the November congress
sional election.
Promising a round-the-clock
campaign, starting as soon as
Congress adjourns, against his
fellow townsman, Delegate John
L. Whitehead, Representative
Poff told the 400 convention
delegates and visitors:
IF my opponent will agree. I
will meet him in public debate
on any platform anywhere, any
time, and 1 will never take any,
thing for granted until the last
vote is counted"
Both candidates live in Rad

are accustomed to marking their

the congressional elections and
for Delegate Whitehead for the
Virginia Legislature.

Mr. Mahoney wasn't nominated

Such a substitute nomination
would be up to the State Gen.

Classroom Hues
Up for Debate

Montgomery County school Of
ficialS expect that the School
Boards all-day Building Insti-
tute Thursday will provide an
opportunity for public discussion
of several school construction
questions that have caused con-
troversy in recent months.
County School Superintendent
Forbes H. Norris has issued a
notice of the institute schedule
and a list of questions to stimu-
late discussion.
One of the nine suggested
questions is: How important do
you consider the color scheme
in a SCHOOL,"
To Note Effect of HueS
The question is listed as in
Guiding the following color
scheme considerations: educa-
tional and psychological values,
maintenance charges and light
ing effects.
Behind these still unsettled
areas of inquiry lies the recent
dispute over Dr. Mildred M.
Lands. the school administra-
tons S50-a-day color consultant
who has designed color schemes
for some county schools in the
past year.
At recent school board meet
ings and elsewhere. the criticism
that DR.. Lands color patterns
are unnecessarily costly and
over-stimulating was voiced.
The 50-year-old color expert,
a former fine arts professor, who
was employed as the principal
of Wood Acres elementary school
last fall, employs a variety of
bright hues on classroom walls
and school corridors to dispel
what she describes as the ira
ditional buff and brown" gloom
in school buildings.
Otner lOpES Listed
Critics of the new look" in
classroom paint declared that
DR.. Lands fee for the designs
is an addition to her principals
salary and that the combina-
tons of bright colors are "glar-
ing" and disturbing"
Among the other topics sug-
gested for discussion at the in
stitute are: An architects re-
sponsibilities in supervising con-
struction, different types of wall
structure, maintenance costs and
Standardization of construction
materials.
The institute will be held in
the County Office Building at
Rockville.

today he is only a minority stock

the corporation could have leased
the building for more rent than
it will get from the State.
The State will pay $4,000 a
year for 10 years. Della said that
will yield a 10 per cent return
to the L. Hunt Realtors, Inc.
The former president of the

cost listed on the building permit.

Hilten Wins Seat
Mr., Hilten, who held out until

State Republican committee as
a surprise action caught his foes
in the convention flatfooted.
Mr.. Hilten. who last month
lost his Roanoke County chair
manship after 10 years in a mass

was one of four nominees for the

Elected Alternates
j. c. Caterwood, new chair
man of the Lynchburg Republi-
can Committee, and H. G.
Weeks of Shawsville, treasurer
of the district Republican Com
mittee, were elected alternates.
Mr.. Catherwood said he also
wants to see an Eisenhower
Nixon ticket. Mr.. Weeks was
not at the convention, but
friends said there is mo doubt
he also favors Mr.. Nixon as
President Eisenhower's running
mate.
Lewis w. Wohlford, jr.. former
Roanoke city chairman, was
elected new district chairman
without opposition. He succeeds
Bentley White, Christiansburg
attorney who stepped down after
eight years in the post.
Convention delegates were
called upon to develop "a spirit
CT determination" in order to
win in the general election this
fall.
This district. by tradition, is
not Republican, is Democrat, +"
said Fred w. McWane of Lynch
burg in talk at the district con-
Ivention at the Hotel Roanoke.
Mr.. McWane was the keynote
speaker at the convention. The
nomination was a formality fol-
lowing the main address by Rep
resentative st. George. Repub-
lican of New York.
Convention Chairman
Mr.. McWane, a member of the
Republican State Central COM

yesterday he will retire from the

nue. and complete the loop via
Thirteenth street, Eastern ave.
nue. and Sixteenth street.
Two Possible Remedies
The trade groups proposals
leave the engineering problems
for the Woodbury. Circle inter-
section up to the county but
suggest two possible remedies:
/. A channelized traffic circle.
2. An overpasS for the outer
loop connecting with the Bur-
lington avenue bridge and per-
hitting the proposed extension
of Fenton street and Philadel-
phia avenue to pass under the
loop.
The trade groups recommen-
dationS include commercial re-
coming along the southwest side
of East-West highway between
Colesville road and Blair road
No extension of the commercial
district beyond Fenwick lane on
Georgia avenue and Spring street
on Colesville road is proposed by
the board.
Some additional apartment
house coming, primarily in the
older residential sections of Sill
yer Spring, also is proposed.
The Board of Trade will make
three suggestions for possible
sites for new county building:
l. A portion of the Blair tract
at Eastern avenue and Colesville
road.
2. The northwest corner of
Georgia avenue and the proposed
new Spring street intersection,
across the street from the plan

3. A tract adjacent to the new
