ton be prepared authorizing the
start of the project.
Councilman Houston B. Nc
Ceney so moved. Councilman
William F. Hickey, however,
voted to table the motion until
the Council could take another
look at the project site.
The resulting vote was a 3-3
tie with Councilman Stanley B.
Frosh absent.
The tabling motion lost so a
motion directing preparation of
a resolution to start work was
passed.
The Council directed, how
ever, that the County Attorney
should include the phraseology
that assessments shall not ex-
coed the benefits" That leaves
a loophole for the Council.
BY the time the project is
completed there may be some
coming trend-or lack of it-that
will enable them to make an as
sessment applicable to the then
current land use.

How to Unite Assessment
Knot Slows County Heads

A delicate question of assess
ing homeowners on the basis of
future land use of nearby prop
erty had the County Council
hemming and having last Tues
day.
The properties in question are
the houses on Arson ST., Silver
Spring, between Georgia ave.
and First ave. Homeowners will
have to pay front-foot benefits
when Arson st. is dualized into
two 27-foot strips with a median
strip 16 feet wide.
Anson st. will be a feeder to
the extended and widened Six
teenth st. as tmoves North
east to converge with Georgia
ave. rear Montgomery Hills.
The problem facing the Coun-
Gil: the home-sites are now
zoned residential but they are
recommended for commercial
use in the Silver Spring master
plan. It's a fair guess that they
could go commercial, but no one
can be sure.
The Council has daced this
problem many times before but
in each previous case, there was
no doubt as to how development
would go, leaving the Council
the easy chore of setting front.
foot benefit charges. The Wood
mont triangle in Bethesda,
swiftly turning commercial, was
such a case.
But as Public Works Director
Mason A. Butcher pointed out
Tuesday, Arson st. is three
blocks away from a business dis
trict and son can be considered
a fringe" area that could stay
residential or go commercial.
Would the Council, therefore, be
justified in setting benefit costs
on a commercial basis?

Reese wanted the Council to

Arrived at Gemello, Msgr.
Meredith is lodged with a
wealthy Contessa, English by
birth, and estranged from the
Church. On hand also is an
English painter, Nicholas
Black, who is violently anti
religious and of homosexual
tendencies. There is also an
agnostic Jewish doctor. Be-

an almost insta n taneous

thing fascinating, even to the
non-C catholic, about the mas

One Of the central figures
of this book is Msgr. BIaise

of that Congregation, and a
very close friend of it's cardi-

Just after he has been told
by his physician that he has

COMPANY PROPOSAL
The Armour plan was de-
signed to provide an alterna-
tive to demand for a shorter
work week or a guaranteed
annual employment program
as presented by the two domi-
nant unions in the field, the
United clearinghouse Workers
and the A~malgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Work
men.
The plan was initiated by
William Wood Prince, presi.
dent Of Armour and Com.
pany, and Frederick r. Liv.
inssfon, its special labor re-
lafiens counsel.
1t involves a contractual
recognition by the two unions
that Armour's modernization
program is vital to its ability
to compete and grow success
fully, thus providing a reason
able return on capital invest
ed in the enterprise and pro-
viding the assurance of con-
tinued employment for the
employees under fair stand
ards of wages, benefits and
working conditions"
The special significance of
the Armour plan derives from
ihe fact that il was Voluntarily
proposed by the company at a
time when management in
some other tndusfries-nof-
ably in the steel industry
is still pressing adamantIy
for limitations on union con-
tract clauses rather than be-
ing receptive TO additional
ones.
Hats off to Messrs. Prince
and Livingston. Unlike their
counterparts in Big Steel,
they have demonstrated gen
uine craftsmanship in the field
of collective bargaining at a
time when it is desperately
needed.
If their example, rather
than that of the management
of Big Steel, is followed by
other major industries in the
United States, it is entirely
possible that next years batch
of Labor Day speeches, SER
mons, columns and editorials
will be much more optimistic
than this years prophecies of
gloom.

The Bishop, in turn, forbids
Meredith to offer or even to

good enough to permit his ex-

attitude vis-a-vis the Roman

mas tree with cookies, Mrs.
Gilbert @. La GORGE has re-
ceived so many requests for
information she has written a
book about it in self defense.
THE Christmas Cookie
Tree" published by Chap
man and Grimes $4,000 is
available now in local book
stores.
You might say 1t was also
in self defense that the tree
originally came into being.
AS her two children. Eliza
beth and John Oliver, grew
older they wanted more and
more trimming on the Christ
mas tree.
1T was really Elizabeth
who was never content until
I finally said, I've had It,"
recalls Louise LaGorce.
1t was then she decided to
trim the holiday tree as she
remembered the ones from
her own childhood. Her
mother. who was Pennsyl-
vania Dutch, never used
"Store boughten" baubles.
Everything on the tree was
homemade t.. ropes OF snowy
white popcorn. garlands Of
bright red cranberries, golden
oranges, and cookies Of all
shapes.
1t was the cookies Mrs. La
Gorce decided to concentrate
on. Digging out her mothers
cookie recipes, she started to
experiment. Since that first
tree 10 years ago, the tree.
like Topsy, had grown and
grown.
THE way I make the cook
les now is a far cry from the
ones I made that first year."
she points out.
Through the years she has
discovered how to reinforce
them so they're not as fragile.
She has found materials that
will bake without burning.
She has added feathers to
the turkey cookies, ribbons
to the little girls pigtails,
puffS of cotton smoke" to
the engines, fur to Santa's
costume. The fur, incidental
ly, she buys by the yard and
is very inexpensive, she says.
Patterns
Where does she find her
patterns? You'll find several
pages of traceable patterns
in the book drawn by artist
Barbara Murray. Some of her
patterns have come from
children's coloring books;
others she has drawn herself.
She has collected still others
from magazines, greeting
cards, newspapers and cloth
materials.

During the holiday season
Mrs. LaGorce will trim three
different trees with her
lovely cookies. The first will
be one for the Greens Show
to be held at The Botanic
Gardens, First and Canal
streets, S.W. during the week
of December 8-l3.
Then she'll dismantle that
tree and trim a 15-footer
that will be on display in
the lobby Of the Mayfiower
Hotel during Christmas
week. 1t will be decked with
at least 200 cookies. The
third one will be her own
personal tree, of course, to
delight her little grandchil-
dren, Debbie and Hal Paul,
who will come from Michi-
gan to spend the holidays
with her. .

A Stitch Takes Time

Making your own. clothes takes a
little time and care but is not by
any means the time-consuming task
that it once was. Many new and
simpIified methods save time and
effort in making clothes without
sacrificing good looks or durability,
says Janet Reed, clothing specialist
for Agricultural Extension Division,
University of Delaware.
Success involves knowing what
you want to do and how to do 1t
before you make one stitch.
Some new streamlined methods
have been tested and complied by
clothing researchers of the u. 5.

tute of Home Economics, and are
described with illustrations in a
new bulletin, "Simplified Clothing
Construction" The bulletin sug-
gests fabrics and patterns that will
save time in handling, marking,
basting and machine-sewing and
suggests seam finishes suited to
different fabrics.
The publication also discusses
how to organize home sewing to
save time. Suggestions are given
for preparing garments for fitting.

found useful for most home sewing,
including sewing machine attach
ments.
