SEND A KID TO CAMP
Brutal Father Fodinq
InNoncy's Memory

Drunken. brutal fathers de-
stroy childhood, and Nancy's
was no exception.
After her mother died there
was no one to protect her from
his callousness.
His judgment clouded with
liquor, he would awaken her
in the middle of the night de-
manding that she cook some
thing for him. 1t never pleased
him. Shouting with rage. he
would shove the food aside, and
then beat Nancy.
Nancy arrived at the city's
home for homeless children still
bearing the bruises. Her father
has not come to visit her. He
telephones now and then to
make arrangements to take her
home-but he never appears.
The memory Of her home is
fading gradually, and Nancy
has found other things to
think and talk about.
She has made friends with
a farmer near the institution
where she lives. She slips of
from time to time to admire
the ancient horse he boards
and the dogs in the kennels
there.
Camp would give Nancy 9TH
er experiences she needs-care-
free fun outdoors. lighthearted
friendships and the protection
of adults from whom she need
not cringe.
In all our lives. some of us
will never know as much de-
spair as Nancy has known at

WE IN WASHINGTON and

from past experience that
''all Maryland roads run to
Baltimore" But how are our
complaints going to have q
leg to stand on when it takes
SO long to get a decision as to
how and where the new
highway shall enter the

The Baltimore Washing
ton expressway was agreed
upon before the war. Pearl
Harbor held it up. And after
the war, Maryland built its
part Of 1t from Baltimore to
the Jessup road, where it.
waited two years for the
Federal Government to build
a road out to it.

The new 24O, the new
national pike" was started
on its way south about 10
years ago from a point near
Frederick on the theory that
by the time it reached the
approaches Of Washington
its path through lower Mont
gomery County and through
the Capital itself would
have been decided.
The Rambler went out old
240 yesterday to speak at a
luncheon Of Rockville's re-
vived Chamber of Com
merce. The old route has
been enlarged into an excel
lent dual highway.
Business has confidence
that the old road will not be
abandoned. 1t is bordered
with new shopping centers
and big furniture, toy, shoe
and clothing stores.
Rockville itself is booming.

limits and now claims a pop
ulation of 20,000-which will

Time for Decision
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

II the prophets Of gloom

the cause Of the decline and

That's the despair of both

Northern States Power Com
pany's new, reduced rates for all
electric homes are expected to go
into effect before the 1959-1960
heating season, company officials
report. The new rate applies only
to homes heated electrically which
also meet other electrical stand
ards. The new rates amount to a
reduction of a half-cent per kilo-
watt-hour for current used above
a monthly minimum of 500 kilo-
watt-hours and apply to resident
ial service throughout the COM
pany's four-state area.
Builders and home owners
throughout our service area have
shown a great interest in the use
of electricity in heating homes"
Allen S. King, NSP president.
said. Our company has studied
the question of establishing a new
rate for this type of service for a
long time and has proposed a rate
that we anticipate win give a
sharp impetus to the present trend
toward all-electric homes"
Before the new rates can become
effective they must be approved
by regulatory bodies. The new
schedule for all-electric residential
service establishes a flat charge
for the first 500 kilowatt-hours
or less per month. Beyond this
minimum amount current is sold
at ITS cent net per kilowatt-hour
which is from 10 per cent to % per
cent below the present lowest step
in NSP's residential rate schedule.
In order to qualify for this rate
residence must be classified as an
all-electric home. This is defined
as a single private residence where
electric service is used through one
meter for lighting, refrigeration,
cooking, water heating and as the
principal source of space heating.
Northern States Power Company
estimates that it now has about
so all-electric homes on its lines.
