FotOmac pollution problems. The
show Is narrated by Stuart Fin
ley over WRC-TV.
Mr.. Lundberg said that in
1851 Arlington County hired the
two engineering consultant firms
to study the sewage disposal
problem and to offer plans to
meet it. The firms concluded
that the Potomac can assimilate
a biochemical oxygen demand OF
approximately 100000 pounds a
day, and that under future con-
ditions, with treatment Of all
sewage and with higher degrees
Of treatment. the rivers capacity
will be increased to 10000
pounds q day.
Recommendation Made
Among the firms recommen-
dations were treatment plant en-
largement and increased degrees
of treatment around 1870 and
again about 1885.

q 35-acre tract owned by the
heirs Of the estate Of Carl A.
Hellnann for their water treat
ment and pumping plant.
Last week. a six-man delega-
ton appeared before the
commissioners with a petition
bearing SO names of property
owners urging the abandonment
Of the proposed site and re-
questing that the commission
move further upstream to the
Seneca Greek area. The group
scored the proposed plant as ian
industrial project"
Reasons Given
One of the reasons the Seneca
site was suggested by the petit
TONERS was the fact that land
In this area was assessed at one
third to one-fourth less that
in the area near the Watts
Branch. 1t was also asserted the
project would greatly depre-
ciate the investments Of the
home and property owners in the
area"
The report said that II the
site were to be moved further
upstream, commission engineers
would have to recommend a To-
cation 5000 feet farther up from
the confluence Of the Seneca
Greek with the Potomac. The
report added it would cost the
agency $6.7 million. and would
represent additional cost that
would have to be paid by the con-
sumers in the sanitary district.
The report defended the COM
missions choice saying that
when the Potomac is impound-
ed. which the commission is con-
WINGED 1t must be for the bene-
ut Of the Washington Metropoli-
tan Area, the treatment works
will be located on a peninsula
surrounded on three sides by
water and that it will have no
immediate neighbor except one
on the remaining land site.
Objection Ruled Out
Even If this were not the case
there will be nothing objection
able about the appearance or the
operation of the supply and
treatment works" the report
continued. There will be no
odors. noises or traffic resulting

Beef is lower in price COM
pared 10 Il week ago.
There is no change in lamb
and veal. Poultry is fea-
tured again for the fifth
straight week in some
stores. Apples and pota-
toes are lower in price
compared TO Il week ago.
EEEF:-Psices are slight
ly lower compared to
week ago. This is normal
as more cattle ire usually
available for slaughter at
this time of the year. Some
stores will feature steaks
while others are featuring
roasts. From a cost-per-
wing standpoint, the
roasis are more economical.
Beef liver is also an econ
cfnical cut OF meat.
POULTRY ;-Frycrs are
again featured at or below
wholesale price in some
stores. The supply OF fry
crS is heavy which has
caused this lower price.
Turkeys are also featured

Decorators Notebook
by Phyllis Drve :

Picture windows are rapidly
becoming a standard fixture in
American homes. Many new
homes contain at least one, usu-
ally in the living room, and
many remodeled homes have
replaced old small windows with
a large expansc Of glass.
A wonderful way TO bring the
outdoors into the living room,
too many people are finding that
these windows bring their pri-
vate lives into the open, and
feel like so many fish in a fish
bowl.
Controlling the sunlight which
pours in through these huge
windows is ar Their problem.
un-bleached rugs. draperies
and upholstery are expensive to
replace.
Venetian Blinds are the most
efficient means OF controlling
sun, light and air as well as
providing the privacy which we
all desire. During the day, blinds
can be tilted to defect the suns
rays without shutting out light
and air. In the evening, blinds
should be closed and draperies
or curtains drawn to give your
room q warm. coy look. Re-
member, too. that Venetian
Blinds provide insulation and
control drafts during the winter
months - an important factor
when il comes to paying heating
bills.
