Road Work Breaks
WSSC Water Pipe
Feeding Rockville

Rockville's been getting the
breaks-much to the city man
ayers CONSERVATION. For the sec.
ond time in a month a break In
the main later line on Rockville
Pike has eoincided with a hot
dry spell thar has depleted the
city's storage supply Of water and
lowered its water pressure.
The break came just as letters
went out from City Hall to all
citizens urging water conserva.
ton because the supply of 10
million gallons per day could not
meet the daily demand of 81 mil
lion gallons which have been con.
sumed since the present drought
hit last Thursday.

to Rockville at Garrett Park road
and the pike. City Manager John
MARYLAND said it was caused by
construction machinery in con-
nectiori Wthe Rockville Pike road
job and that the rupture would be
repaired swiftly. The WSSC was
able to bypass the break and
maintain pressure at a reduced
level.
Depletion Of the city's ISIS, 900
gallons in storage tanks drops the
pressure to the danger point for
adequate fire protection, City
Manager John MARYLAND warns.
He is asking that heavy use of
water be restricted, particularly
between the peak hours of 400
pm. to midnight.
The long-range weather fore.
cast is for a hot and dry sum.
mer so the conservation meas.
ures will be necessary during any
protracted dry spell. Next June,
however, Rockville's water
troubles will be over with the
completion of its new water line
to the Potomac.

One of the most sought after
places around town is the county
dump. And judging by the rows
Of refuse lining the roads to it,
few people find it.
Protests from citizens whose
property substitutes for the dump
impelled The Sentinel to look in
to the matter. We found that:
The dump isn't on any map;
no sign marks it; highway de.
partment people in the county
building didn't even know where
it was.
The dump is located off Of
Southland road, a quarter of a
mile from North Horner's lane.

Dead Dog Woods?

woods which appear to be dead
you will find that more than 80
percent Of them are still alive.
At the same time he warned the
Mayor and Council and any
other interested citizens who
might be tempted TO make the
test that dogwoods are fragile
and won't take much bark rub

Would Locate
International
Atom Agency Here

Although the United States has
not yet decided to join the pro-
posed 30 nation international
Atomic Energy Agency, an opti'
mistic Montgomery County land
owner has offered enough land
ON which the IAEA could build.
Dyke Cullum, Sr., told The
Sentinel in an exclusive inter
view that the Acc will make
Montgomery County the head
quarters" for atomic energy, and
that it was fitting that the
IAEA q. make use of this
headquarters of atomic energy
for peaceful uses
Mr.. Cullun, who owns exten.
sive acreage in Maryland and
Texas, his birthplace, said he
would offer Forty acres, or
more" to the IAEA. The land he
offered is on new Rte. u. S. 240
one mile north Of the Atomic En-
ergy Commission. Mr.. Cullum
owns 300 acres at that site which
is split in two parts by the new
road. Little Seneca Creek runs
through the western section
where he lives.
The land he proposed was the
same he offered TO Acc when il
first searched for a site. 1t was
turned down, Mr.. Cullum said
because it was. not enough.

Progress on the tagging Viers

struction Co. cannot find enough
men to do the job.
The Sentinel last week reported
that the State Roads Commission

vile as unsatisfactory" Engi-
neers said that only so per cent
of the needed work had been done
in 10 per cent of the time allotted
to the project.
Asked for comment on the
statement, E. P. Bats, director of
alllMaryland construction for the
REA company said "Dollar-wise.

Bats said.

ton to coordinate here" the
slight North Carolinian asserted.
Our one, big problem has been
that we just can't find and keep
enough skilled labor. Right now
we have men looking for skilled
road machine men in Is states"
The REA company is working
on five, separate road jobs in
Maryland. The feeling at the
State Roads Commission was
that the company had spread its
labor force too thin. Because of
it's lack of men, REA has idle
road machinery which, IL man

After two late hearings Mon

gram brought out over so people

interested in the $788,030 operat-

Defending their unusual stand,
the mothers said the proposed
sidewalk was not necessary for
the safety of their children since
they already had driveways which
could be used as play areas. They
also said they could not afford
the front foot assessment because
of a large increase in taxes due
to reassessment last year.
Three projects scheduled for

program were requested to be
moved up this year. David Ros-

A young lady making her
debut next week is as "old
Washington" as you can get.
She is Emily Beale Nc
Lean. daughter of Mrs. Floyd
Rogers and Mr.. Edward Beale
Mclean, jr.
On her maternal side she
is the eighth generation born
In Washington.
The party will take place
on Thanksgiving and will be
given by Mrs. Harry Grant
Meem, grandmother of the
debutante, and DR.. and Mrs.
Rogers.
Old Fashioned Fete
The event will be an old
fashioned debut with Miss
Mclean being presented to
family friends at an AFTER
noon party which will take
place at Mrs. Mems resi-
dence.
On December 81, DR.. and
Mrs. Rogers will give a dance
for Emily at the Sulprave
Club which will be for the
younger generation.
Strangely enough, debuts
have not been common in
the famous party-giving Nc
Lean family and this is pos
sibly the first one in many a
generation.
EMILY is the granddaughter
Of the late Evalyn Walsh Nc
Lean and the late Edward
Beale Mclean.
Mrs. Mclean was probably
the most fabulous Washing
ton hostess in the history of
the Nations Capital but she
never was presented to So
ciety.
Reasons vary from the
death Of her brother, Vincent
Walsh at just about the time
she would have come out, to
the fact that she was mar
ried at an early age.
Edward Beale Mclean, sr.
was the only son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John r. Mclean and Mr..
John r. Mclean was the only
son of Mr.. and Mrs. WASH
ington Mclean so there were
no debuts in these genera
tionS.
Mr.. Washington Mclean
came to Washington in about
1870 from Ohio and was
quoted to be prominent as
a capitalist"
Mrs. John r. Mclean was
the former Emily Truxton
Beale. daughter of an old
Washington family of dis
tinguished Revolutionary an
cestry" according to one news
report in 1920.

herits her name from her
great grandmother.

EvalYn Walsh McLea11's S
Granddaughter to Bow

Evalyn Mclean Reynolds
didn't have a debut party be-
cause she didn't want one.
Mrs. Reynolds was origi-
nally also named Emily Beale
Mclean but she later changed
it to Evalyn Washington Nc
Lean. She was married to
former North Carolina Sena-
tor Robert r. Reynolds. Sem
ator Reynolds and their
daughter Mamie Sears Rey-
nolds who is now. is plan to
come for the party next week
from their home in Ashe-
vile, N. c.
Owned Farms
Through Mrs. Meem, Emily
is a descendent of two Of
the original land owners Of
Washington ("the ten-mile
square") the CAROLS and the
Motley Youngs. Both families
owned farms which now make
up the nations capital.
In speaking Of debuts in
her day Mrs. Meem said that
there was not so much to-do
about them and the girls
were introduced to their
parents, friends at afternoon
teas.
About herself, Mrs. Meem
laughted and said, II just
crawled out / was the
youngest of H."
Miss Mclean will be pre-
sented to society just 20
years to the day that her
mother made her debut. Mrs.
Meem presented her daugh-
ters Ann (Emily's mother)
and Eleanor at a party on
November %, 1887
Mr.. Mclean does not plan
to be on hand for his daugh-
ter's party next week, but
will he here for the dance
in December. However, his
step-daughter. Miss Wendy
Vanderbilt will probably be
here for both.
Miss Vanderbilt is the
daughter of the present Mrs.
Mclean and Mr.. Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt. She was
recently presented to New
York society.
