AGE BEFORE BEAUTY
Senator Green Sees
Thdi Couple Wed

collared white full military
dress uniform.
Both of them were led to
q low square couch draped
in rose silk damask on which
they leaned forward. their
faces bowed over two rose
velvet pillows and their
hands folded In prayer as the
Ambassador performed the
marriage rite.
For the first step in the
ceremony, the Ambassador
encircled the heads of the
bridal couple with connecting
rings Of white sacred cord.
The cord. made of unspun
threads folded many times
and formed into a long string,
symbolized the union Of the
two as one.
He then Amounted their
foreheads in the shape of a
triangle to symbolic their
belief in Buddha, his teach
ings and his priesthood.
Then, taking the conch
shell Of sacred water he
poured it over their hands to
wish them happiness The
water fell into two gold aims
bowls filled with moss on
which were laid pink roses
and white carnations in q
heart-shaped pattern.
Leis Of Rose Petals
After the ceremony. Mrs.
Arthayukti placed leis Of pink
rose petals which she had
made herself over the heads
Of the newly wed couple.
Among the wedding guests
was the brides sister, DR..
Amorn Lohsanana who is an
intern at Doctors Hospital.
Also offering their well
wishes were Chinese Ambas-
sador George K. c. Yeh,
Deputy Postmaster General
and Mrs. e. o. Sessions, AS
sistant Secretary of the
Army and Mrs. George H.
Roderick, and Mai. Gen. M.
Hayud-Din of Pakistan. dean
OF military attaches here, and
Mrs. Hayaud-Din.
One thing the new couple
is sure of-who's going to
have the upper hand in their
marriage. AS some Of the
Thai guests jokingly observed
yesterday. it's an old Gus
tom that whoever Of the
couple removes the sacred
cord first after the marriage
ceremony will be boss. 1t
was the bride!

Officer for the county, asked the
County Council to make a pol.
icy decision on the matter.
He said that much of the land
in the watershed of Cabin John
Creek is not suitable for mass
use of septic systems.
Further, he pointed out, the
Rockville sewer system which
serves the vast new Congress.
sional Shopping Plaza at the
head of the valley has served
as a deterrent to sewer system
expansion in the valley by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission.
County Manager Melvin L.
Reese, however, pointed out that
the county cannot, despite warn
ings of the Health Department,
stop individual builders from
erecting homes so long as they
The Cabin John Valley does
not have a public water system
yet and won't for about two
years, DR.. Peoples pointed out.
Meanwhile, he told the Council,
new homes would have to drill
wells and mass wells might de-
plete the valleys water table.
Anyhow, he said, the home
owners will switch to public
water when the lines come in,
thus mourning additional ex-
pense.

Peoples Hits
Plea to Close
Health Center

A proposal that the county
health center on St Elmo ave..
Bethesda, be closed and its op-
erations switched to nearby
Suburban Hospital, this week
drew disapproval from DR.. Will
liam J. Peoples, County Health
Officer.
The proposal was made by a
committee from the Bethesda
Chevy Chase Chamber of Com
fnerce, which noted "only about
10 patients a day" being served
by seven nurses at the health
center.
DR.. Peoples pointed out that
the nurses use the center pri-
marily as a place to work from,
not at. Their biggest function,
he said, was to visit schools and
sick persons at home.
He also ventured the opinion
that the Suburban Hospital prob
ably would want someone to pay
them for work transferred from
the health center.
