riott will be opened formally
this week and is booked almost
solid for the presidential inaugu-
ration January 81. Part Of the
hotel is now in operation.
Construction of the II build
ings housing the $40 rooms. res
taurant, shops and services be-
gan last April on 7 acres of
land near the Highway Bridge.
The hotel was designed by
Joseph Morgan and makes
generous use of glass, stone,
modern straight-line design and
bright colors. Five of the IL
buildings have two stories, the
main building is five stories tall
and a one-story wing houses the
restaurant, gift shops. barber
shop. beauty shop and other
service facilities.
The exteriors of the buildings
are decorated with concrete
freScoes depicting Western
themes. The artist, Pietro
LaZzari of Washington, said the
concrete frescoes were done
during freezing or below freez-
ing weather when wet concrete
was applied to a rough surface
and worked into form before
hardening. Mr.. Lazzari said the
only tools used to shape the con-
crete were trowels.
The new hotel-motel was de-
signed to let the customer pro-
vide his own service if he de-
Sires. This begins with check
ing in, which may be done at a
drive-in booth. Without STEP
ping from his car, a guest may
select his room from color trans
parencies, discuss accommoda-
tons with the reception mana
ger through an intercom sys-
tenn, and find his way to the
selected room through a chart.
The Marriott also offers relief
from tipping through self service
ice machines. drink vending
machines and automatic laundry
machines.
I'VE have the services for those
people who want them" said
E E. Burdge, manager of the
hosiery THE idea in providing
the self-service features was to
provide inexpensive accommoda-
tons for the family group
The hotel is thoroughly mod
ern. Every room has a radio,
television set and air-condition-
ing. An emergency alarm Sys-
tenn, wired into the radio speak,
ers in each room. can be sounded
automatically when a fire alarm
device at the central control
unit is touched off. Mr.. Burdge
said the alarm system may be
used TO give vocal instructions
to guests in event of an emer-
gency.
Airliners. trains. trucks and
autos whirring over and by the
motel won't bother the guests,
according to its builders. The
hotel is completely "sound-con-
ditioned."
Mr.. Burdge said it was de-
signed so the noise level in the
rooms does not rise above 40
decides. except when large, low
flying four-engine planes are
going directly overhead" At 40
decibel level, he said, the noise
from the planes is audible, but
not bothersome.
Two of the top attractions of
the hotel are swimming pools
for children and adults and ex-
cellent view of the Potomac
River.

Annual Tree Harvest
Helpful TO Forests

Don't feel disturbed or guilty
about using evergreens for Christ
mas trees - there's more than
enough to 60 around. Besides, to.
day most Christmas trees are
harvested as a crop to insure
more living room for regular
paintings.
Also, m any Christmas trees
come from poorer forest soils and
wet bog areas devoted exclusively
to the growing of trees for the
Christmas market. In such areas
everygreens grow far too slowly
to produce a lumber of pulpwood
crop-thus Christmas trees are the
only profitable harvest to come
off that land
Another Christmas tree source
is Trimmings" Mother Nature seeds
from 5000 to 10000 trees per
acre. In today's growing-trees-as-
a-crop operation, frequent thinning
is essential to allow trees room
to live and grow. The Trimmings
can be sold as Christmas trees
and fill trio Of needs: first, as a
bringer-of-joy into the home; Sec
ond, as an income source to the
forester; third, as life insurance"
for upcoming timber crops.

The familys sustaining diet is

The Communist RECOMMENDATION is
oppressive and sometimes fright
ening, said this person whose fam
lily nevertheless must continue to
make the most of its tragic plight.
From Number Two, | learned
some facts about farming in Com
munist East Germany. Most of the
farmers fare no better than the
city people. The Communist Off
Gals openly dislike small farmers
who resist collectivisation. Num-
Der Two said: They give the
farmers norms to fill, and when
they produce above the norms
they can cat what's left. But few
can meet the high norms! If they
can't meet the normS regularly,
they can't eat regularly, and the
State takes the property.
IF the small farmer persists in
continuing his individual opera
ton, the Government will see that
he does not get feed, seed and fer
tilizer sufficient to reach his norms.
"A neighbor of mine kept laying
hens. The Government set a norm
for egg production. Lice got into
the hen house and killed some of
the hens. But still my friend had
to fill the norm. The friend bought
sufficient eggs from a neighbor to
reach the norm, but the friend had
to pay 40 fenigS each for the eggs,
ard the Government took them for
nine fenigs each. My friend had to
give up =. -.
Meat is not available to Ger
mans in East Germany because
the Russians take all the beef pro-
duction, take it up to Rostock East
Germany, take out the best quail
ty for Russian use, then can the re-
mainder and distribute it through
East Germany under Russian la
bels-and at prices nobody except
the Communist bureaucrats can
afford. The Russians have bled
East Germany of its resources and
money"
