Farm House Into Super Modern
By MARY L. VAUGHAN

Star Homefurnishinss Writer
The supermodern
home of the Charles
GoodmanS in Alexan-
dria is a reconstructed
75-year-old farmhouse.
A complete metamor-
phosis has been effected by
the owner, who is the we'll
known architect of the firm
bearing his name.

ture are a modern kitchen

Mr.. Goodman is of the
opinion that Colonial style
homes are misflts in this
modern century because they
cut off the inhabitants from
t. outdoors.
True to this theory, he has
opened up the house on all
sides, both upstairs and down,
with vast window expanses.

driveway one comes upon

is continuous, running out
doors through a courtyard in
the form of a wall, serving as
a separator from the entry

A trio of solidly painted
exit doors lead from the liv-
ing room in three directions
to their own terraces. The
doors are painted in three
separate colors-black, bright
blue and bright yellow.
Radiant Heating
Radiant heating coils placed
beneath the flagstone living
room floor keep the area
evenly heated on the coldest
days. Mrs. Goodman finds up

The Goodmans prefer not to
use any rugs in the room. I'VE

dismayed if faced with the
prospect of keeping so much

POST POSI- OFFICE
CORNER
BY
X. G. CARPENTER,
Postmaster

Most times when writing this
column, dedicated to the postal
service, originality is unnecessary
because material car be obtained
from several different sources.
Probably the writer has only been
inspired to originality when re-
lating some historical fact about
the early postmasters of Sidney,
from which many pleasing COM
ments have been received. Al
times too the material written has
no connection with postal affairs
and the excuse for submitting such
material is that it was found in
some postal publication. This
column has a few times gone to
poetry and even to Scripture quo
tations. Material not originating
with the writer, of course, but
that has appealed to his more or
less sensitive but often perturbed
mind.
Such as the following by Lord
Byron on STARS. The italian poet
Ovid, who lived during the century
Christ was born, said that God
gave man an upright countenance
to survey the heavens and to look
upward to the stars:
Ye stars; which are the poetry
of heaven,
If in your bright leaves we
would read the fate
Of men and empires-'t is to be
forgiven
That in our aspirations to be
great
Our d~estinies o'erleap their NOR
tai state.
And claim a kindred with you,
for We are
A beauty and a mystery, and
create
In us such love a mystery, and
from afar,
That fortune, fame, power, life
have named themselves a star.
Lord Byron
Or the following Scripture quo
tation sent in by R. F. Babcock,
postmaster at Neville, Iowa, pub
lished in the Postmaster's Gazette
and which, at this particular time
of the year is appropos:
SAY NOT YE, THERE ARE
YET FOUR MONTHS, AND
THEN COMETH HARVEST? BE-
HOLD, l SAY UNTO YOU, LIFT
UP YOUR EYES, AND LOOK ON
THE FIELDS; FOR THEY ARE
WHITE ALREADY TO HAu.
VEST.
John 435
He who every morning plans
the transactions of the day, and
follows out that plan, carries a
thread that will guide him through
the labyrinth of the most busy life.
The orderly arrangement of his
time is like a ray of light which
darts itself through all his occupa-
tons. But where no plan is laid,
where the disposal of time is sur
rendered merely to the chance of
incidents, all things lie huddlod
together in one chaos, which adj
mits of neither distribution nor

Part One
County Law

The first Christmas occurred long time
ago. The world was old even then, and its in
habitants were wise. To be precise, the Naza-
rene was born during the 35th year of the
reign of Herod the Great, the 747th year of
the Roman Olympiad, and the fourth year
prior to the Christian era.
1t was an enlightened era-much like the
one in which we are pleased to say we live.
Virgil, Horace, Ovid and Livy were writing
then.
1t was an imperialistic age-much like
the one in which we are pleased to say we do
not live. The First Triumvirate had been sue
ceeded by the Second Triumvirate, Rome had
won the Battle of Actium, and even then the
ruling Caesars junketed to eastern areas on
good will tours.
And so the first Christmas occurred dur.
ing period of material magnificance which
the world has not yet surpassed. The daily
excitement of living Obscured the birth of Him
who lived to love all living creatures and Who
by example, made it possible for just plain
people to appreciate the dignity and value of
life.
But it was not long (this trip He took
from stable to place called Golgotha) be-
fore these plain people brought Him to trial
and executed Him in the name of the law.
Now these people and the judges who
brought Him to trial and committed an awful
judicial murder were knowledgeable judges
and people Also the law which was applied
to convict Him was both enlightened and civil
lied. 1t has existed as a well defined Code
for more than 500 years longer than we have
existed as nation.
Therefore, how was it that the man whose
birth we celebrate became the victim of CAPT.
tai punishment; and should the story of His
trial be re.tOld during this season of the year?
For some, Christmas is essentially a
thoughtful time-a time for long dark eve.

and glowing fire with talk in low voices about
the past and the mysterious threads which
bind it to the present 1t is a time when
thoughts of the birth of the Nazarene natur.
ally tend to expand and to include His life
and death. 1t is felt that the joy which is ex-
pressed upon the anniversary of His birth
will not be diminished by an expression of
sadness for His death and the treatment which
he received in the courts of law. This prompts
inquiry into the justice which was dispensed
to the Nazarene upon His day in court"

D. c. Tronsit Move

~ ROY CHALK, big businessman and owner of D. C.
~. Transit, has already stirred up hornets nest of
initial opposition in of the county before
his bold to ake over all of the bus service in the
county has got off the ground
Aside the fact that fighting opposition has devel
oped from Cabin John residents what they claim
the nadequacies of Chaks proposal to provide bus
service in lieu of the old trolley line and this is now an
obstacle for Chalk to hurdle the relatively operator of
the transit company has committed what to be
needless public relations blunder.
To announce d C. Transit did, that was abandon
ing the Cabin John trolley line effective January without
consultng-ever for public relations purposes-the
munes involved is indeed shortsghted If the transit
head genuinely interested in providing maximum
service countianS he would surely eager
do this
Mr. Chalk has said he wants to take all the bus
service in Montgomery County and he has also made
vague statements about wanting to improve service But
beyond that we have nothing to Nor is it exactly
reassrng to call up an official spokesman for d. c. Tran
sit and be told were that it is premature for the
rier to to any conclusions His contention that
until D. c. Transit has to grips with the operating
problems will not be able to tell what canand cannot
do as far as Improvement of bus service is concerned
At first blush this would seem to be plausible argu-
men But upon closer examination it doesn't to hold
much water The riders here and the streets
here and surely by now, the bus-ding habits of people
are fairly well known Nor is d. c. Transit without funds
or resources to conduct surveys which should would
think easily up with basic information which deci
sions as to future service could be made
Big carriers and big utilities sometimes have way of
becoming not very responsive to local needsespecay
profitable they obtain their exclusive fran
chses We do not say that Mr. Chalk will be guilty of this
but anyone who denies that this is distinct possibility
not being completely realistic.
The time to learn what Mr. Chalk has in mind for
Montgomery County is before rather than after he is
granted franchise and hope the County Council and
the Maryland Public Commission anybody else who has
any authority interest in the matter will start paying
little closer attention to this vital question Many parts of
Montgomery County have had adequate bus service
And the general level of service all the county
quite low Mr.. Chalks interest may offer opportunity
to improve this situation And then again may not
County and State officials should at least try to find out
where we're headed-buswse!

consistency of a person admin

Would any intelligent person

it is for the Federal Govern

all, people with a belief in God
