who Joined in q vigorous fight
TO preserve the center.
Representative Broyhill was
informed by the Navy yester-
day that the Bureau Of Public
Roads had agreed to allow the
building which houses the CEN
ter to remain intact. He said
this ends the Nays tentative
proposal TO relocate the train
ing center.
The Navy advised Mayor
Benheim last December that it
intended to quit Jones Point
because Of construction Of the
new Woodrow Wilson Bridge
across the Potomac.
In Right-Of-Way
It said the building at the
foot Of Lee street stood in the
right-of-way required by the
Bureau of Public Roads for
approaches to the bridge.
Reserve units containing some
$50 personnel were to be trans
ferred to the Naval Gun
Factory.
Mr.. Benheim argued that

stead Of making it's own river
crossing to the Districts
reservoir.
He said the Falls Church
line will have sufficient capacity
to serve both the city and the
county authority systems until
1870. The Falls Church system
now serves about 10000 people
of which about 10000 are in
surrounding Fairfax County
territory. Customers in the
county area are charged $8.04
more a year than city Gus
toners. Falls Church has made
a profit on its water system for
about eight years, city officials
have said.

the Reese program and to urge
quick action on selection OF a
site south of Pershing drive

A lot Of businessmen told
The Star they felt they had to
take the Colesville road site
or see the service facilities
moved out of Silver Spring.
William B. Wheeler. a leader
in the Board of Trade, said
his chief concern now was to
get new facilities as quickly as
possible. He said that a new
police station and court room
have been needed since l947.
Mr.. Reese's argumen S
against downtown sites fall into
these main categories:
/. They will cost the county
more to acquire.
2. They would be too close
to the District line and too
far from the people to be
served,
3. They would mean that
police cars leaving the station
on emergency calls would have
to travel through the traffic
clogged business section.
4. And they would cost a
considerable amount since most
of the tracts are small parcels
and the county would have to
deal with a number of land
owners.
Planners Opposed

The commission has proposed
several other sites, all within

Reese contends that most of
them are too costly.
1T would be a big mistake to
buy q piece of land at bargain
prices if it's in the wrong loca-
ton" planning director Arthur
K. Stellhorn said.
Citizen Groups in Fight
The citizens fight against the

Representative Broyh Republican of Virginia agreed last
night to withhold legislation that would force Falls Church

engineers to make further surveys and studies in effort
to resolve differences between the two groups he said

Areas of Disagreement
After the study is COM
pleted, Falls Church was told
to report to the Fairfax au-
thority on its findings regard
ing the following areas of dis
agreement:
l. Whether there is a suffi-
cient amount Of water.
2. The point at which the
water will be supplied.
3. The exact method of de-
termining the cost to Fairfax
County customers.
Falls Church Mayor Thomas
A. O'Halloran explained that
the city agreed to reduce the
area it previously had planned
to serve.
He said the reduction, al.
though slight, will allow the
Fairfax Authority to serve
water to the new Fairfax
County Hospital even though
previous plans called for Falls
Church to serve it.
Mayor O'Holloran also said
the city agreed to reduce the
area in the vicinity of Vienna
which it now serves and turn
that over to the county. But
he added that more negotia-
tons will be required before
the question of service areas
is fully resolved. A suit
brought by the authority
against the city to limit the
city service area is pending in

Home Accidents
Greatest Cause
Of Deaths

Accidents in Delaware homes
caused more death than highway
fatalities in the first three months
of this year, it was pointed out by
]. James Ashton, manager of the
Delaware Safety Council. Ten fa-
talities occurred in March alone.
The statistics reported to the
Safety Council by Cecil Marshall.
Bureau of Vital Statistics, State
Board of Health, show 20 home ia
pared to Is highway fatalities.
OF the 20 fatalities in the homes
this year nine were caused by fire,
seven by falls, two by poison, and
two by suffocation.
A recent study by the Safety
Council of home fatalities during
1858 in Delaware revealed that the
majority of deaths occurred to per-
sons in the pre-school and IS and
over age groups. The causes of
most fatalities were falls and fires.
Commenting on fatalities caused
by falls, Mr.. Ashton pointed out
that in many instances there are
three generations living in the
same house. When toys and other
articles are left on the stairways
and floors the stage is set for SER
ious falls, especially for older peo-
pie. Lack of adequate handrails
and lighting are other causes.
Statistics indicate that fires are
the leading cause of fatalities in
the pre-school age group. In many
instances overcrowded homes and
children left unattended are con-
tributing causes. When children
are left in the care of baby sitter
care should be taken to see that the
baby sitter is qualified and is in
structed in what to do in case of
an emergency.
Some of the safe practices out
lined for child training by the
Safety Council are:
/. Have a place for toys and
train children to put them away
when not in use.
2. Impress on them at an early
age the rules for safe walking out
doors.
8. Teach safe rules for bike rid
ing before your children get bikes.
An average of 500 children are kill
ed on bikes every year in the ma
tion.
4. Always set good example for
your children. Safe living and driv-
ing can be taught best by your ex-
ample. Children initiate your ac-
tions.

The News is 124 years old. Bulky

dent, publisher, chairman of the
board and about everything else for
the lively little paper.
The newsiest thing about the
News in this age of modern tech
nology is that its type still is set
by hand. Bulky, a former compost
tor, does some of the typesetting
himself.
He also does a lot of the news
writing and some of his items nev-
er get typewriter or even penned
in longhand before they appear in

The Versatile Dahlia

or all garden flowers, perhaps
no other flower rewards the gar
dener with such a profusion of
beautiful blossoms as the dahlia,
says county Extension agent Gerge
Vspaa.
Good soil, plenty Of moisture,
ample sunlight, and pest control
are necessary to produce the best
flowers" he said.
Dahlias can be grown in any
soil that is deep, fertile, and well
drained. Plenty of organic matter
is needed for best results. Add
humus In the form of leaf mold,
compost, peat moss, well rotted
manure, or other types, Mr. Vapaa
recommended. II your soil is acid,
add one to four pounds of lime
stone per 100 square feet. About
three pounds of 5-10-10 or 5-10-5
commercial fertilizer. worked into
the soil before planting, will aid
growth too.
It's important that the soil be
worked to a depth of at least 10 or
IL inches. After the plants are
about a foot tall add top dress
ing of one to two teaspoOnsful of
complete fertilizer per plant. This
should be put about five to eight
inches away from the base of the
plant Work it into the soil with
rake or culivatOr.
Set the plants deep to insure
good root formation, On sandy soil
six inches is about right and on
heavy soils put them about four
inches deep. Cover with about two
inches of soil and gradually fill in
the hole as they grow.
Spacing will depend on the var
iety you wish to grow, he says.
Tall growing varieties should be
spaced at least three feet apart.
Four or five feet is even better.
1t Is easy to divide the clumps of
tuberous roots. The dahlia pro-
duces buds or eyes at the crown
or junction of the stem and root.
Be sure when dividing clump to
have at least one strong bud or
eye with each division. Use prun-
ing shears or a sharp knife; don't
break apart. The exceptionally
large, fleshy roots may be cut off
at the lower end, causing large
clump to form.
Pruning dahlias is important to
produce the maximum supply of
flowers. When the plants are about
a foot tall cut off at the second
node 0nd set of leaves). Then
allow the plants to develop four
strong branches. These branches
may be pinched again to produce
more branches ir desired.
Disbudding is the removal of
buds which grow in the axis of the
leaves. Allow the first bud or ter
minal bud to develope. Remove all
lateral buds except the lowest pair.
Mr.. Vapaa said this will give you
lOng-stemed large flowers.
Dahlias need plenty of moisture.
Mulching with straw, grass elipp-
ing, rotted manure, or other plant
remains will help keep the soil
moist and cool.
Put on the mulch as soon as
they start to bloom. An occasional
heavy watering will also stimulate
active growth.
Remember it's not the size of the
root at planting time that deter
mines the size and number of
flowers produced but more import
ant is the soil and culture given
this responsive plant, he concludes.

vltamln Value IN vegetables


Keep vegetables from whiting IL
you want the most in vitamin value
from them, the u. s. Department Of
Agriculture advises according to
home demonstration agent Flor
ence Y. Smith.
Many vegetables, especially those
that are deep green, offer a good
measure of both vitamin A and c
when harvested, USDA research
nutritionists report.
What happens between harvest
and the time vegetables reach the
family meal table decides how
much vitamin c they still have to
offer.
II they have wilted, it's a safe
bet that not much of this fragile
vitamin is left Even If they are
revised or "crisped" in ice water
or in the refrigerator, their vita
min G is not restored.
Market vegetables that are limp
or wilted may still rate" for vita
min A and minerals, but not for
vitamin G., Mrs. Smith said. Those
that show signs of bruising, prob
ably have lost considerable vita
min c. AS for home garden vege-
tables, 1t pays to treat them gently,
wash as necessary and get into
the refrigerator as promptly as
possible, the agent recommended.
Green vegetables which are nat
urally high in vitamin c include
green peppers, broccoli, raw cabb-
age. collards, garden cress, kale
