Bumpy Path for

Councilman John Oxley' s
dream of getting sidewalks on
South Van Buren, Street where
he has lived for over 20 years
was defeated this week by his
neighbors.
Oxley, who is not running for
a third term in next weeks cleo
tons, had hoped TO win approval
for the long-awaited sidewalks as
one Of his last actions on the
council.
But the majority of his neigh
bors quite frankly admitted that
they did not want to pay the
front foot benefit charges of 81
cents per foot annually for ten
years.
The 53-year-old Councilman
bowed gracefully to his neigh.
bors wishes and said that he
would continue TO take his daily
walks without benefit of side.

He added wistfully that he
hoped the city might see fit to
repave Van Buren, Street soon
and remove some of the ruts that
gave him such a hard time on his
strolling.

In Rockville
Mass Polio
Clinic Set
For May Il

A mass polio vaccination
clinic with shots going for
only 81 each will be held at
Rockville City Hall May II
from Z to 8 PM.
The unique affair, which has
been indorsed by both the county
health department and the coun-
ty medical society, is being held
under the sponsorship of the
Rockville Junior Womans Club.
A similar clinic was held in
District Heights recently, accord
ing to Junior Woman's Club
spokesman, and more than 1900
persons were given the polio i'm
munizing shots.
Four physicians and II nurses,
all volunteers, and Woman's
Club members, also volunteering
their services, will stage the
event and make possible the low
lat cost charge of only 81 for
each shot.
Physicians point out that the
second shot in the three-shot
series should be given before the
polio season begins around July
|. Accordingly, the Junior Wom-
ans Club will sponsor another
of the clinics on June 9.
A third clinic for the final Salk
shot will be held in the fall.
The women's group urged all
Rockville area residents desiring
polio immunization shots to par
ticipate. They should fill out a
polio registration form repro
duced elsewhere in this news
paperfor obtainable at any of the
following stores in Rockville:
Coop, Drug Fair, Food Fair,
Grants, Rockville Drugs, Safe
way.
Purpose of the registration
procedure is to insure that suffi-
cient vaccine will be on hand for
the event. Some who do not
register will, no doubt, be able to
get shots but to be certain of
getting one, the individual should
register, spokesman said.
Woman's Club officials said
they hoped that a lot of adults
who have taken care of their
children but haven't yet bothered
to get the shots themselves will
take advantage of the clinic. All
ages, however, are welcome, they
pointed out.

Fund D1'iUe Started
For Camp Echo Lake

Children Of the County will
once again be able to attend
camp this summer, through
the facilities Of Camp Echo
Lake, whose fund raising
drive starts this week.
A goal of $4,000 is the aim OF

ton of chairman Robert T.

Admission to the camp Is con.
trOIled by a committee which
works closely with the Welfare
Board, the Juvenile Court, the
Board of Education and the
Social Service League.
Over the past four summers,
4S5 needy children have enjoyed
two weeks of sunshine and rec.
reation. This summer it is hoped
that the Camp can care for 200
children. at cost to the Camp
OF SIS per week per child.
The camp is located on 127.
acre tract in the foothills near
Myersville, Maryland. 1t has
facilities for handling 80 children
at a time, including permanent
wood cabins, a cement block

Started in 1858 by a group Of
public-spirited citizens, the Camp
has had many teething troubles,
notably a lack Of pure water
which closed down operations in
the summer Of 1855. A well was
drilled in 1856 after two fruitless
attempts, and the camp Is now
supplied by electric pumps.

Today's Meditation: Today,
consider picture of life never
going out on any adventure for
good. In poem, "The Outward
Trail" there is pictured a wom-
an in a travel agency, who spent
every day making out journeys
to wonderful places. But she
herself never went anywhere. AT
five o'clock, she went home to
her small apartment which she
never left. We can spend our
lives telling people about jour-
neys into Christian experience
and action. But in ourselves, we
may hold back from any such
efforts.
The Devotional Reading for
Today: Go therefore and make
disciples of all nations, baptiz-
ing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, teaching them to
observe all that / have COM
manded you; and 10, l am with
you always, to the close of the
age. Matthew %: 1920.
