Tract Rezoned
In Arlington

The Arlington County Board
yesterday rezoned q tract at
North Fairfax drive and Glebe
road for a SIS million office
building which repeatedly will
be used by the General Electric
Co.
The rezoning was granted to
Thomas j. Broyhill, a builder,
who recently constructed a
large bowling alley on an ad-
jacent tract.
County Board Member Ralph
Raul said the seven-story Office
building would be occupied by a
computer section Of General
Electric.
An official of General Electric
said the firm has an option to
buy the building but a definite
decision to locate there has not
been made.
The spokesman said General
Electric also has options on
other locations in the area and
the final decision probably will
depend on where the Little
Pentagon" is located and on a
future contract to process Gov
eminent data.

and pigs. The water, which
is laden with vitamins, is also
used to grow bigger chickens.
The oil-75,000 tons of it
lis mainly sent to Western
Europe. where it is used to
make margarine. It is hydro
genated and is tasteless and
odorless.
A WHITE-HAIRED young
chemist named John Holston
has great faith in menhaden
oil. He is a technologist in
the Department of Interior.
He works in the Bureau of
Fisheries and exhaustive tests
indicate that the old moss
bunker may be one of the
answers to hardening of the
arteries. The discovery is so
new that Mr.. Holster is re-
luctant to discuss it.
For years the Government
and the menhaden industry
have felt that there is great
therapeutic value in this fish
oil. Chemically, the impor-
tant ingredient is polyunsat-
urated fatty acid. 1t sounds
like something to be taken
while pinching the nostrils,
but is isn't.
One of the offending agents
in hardening Of the arteries,
and in heart disease, are
PLAQUES. These are like
patches on a tube, except
that they are on the inside
of the artery. They narrow
the hole in the artery, leav-
ing less room for blood to
pass through. The older you
get. the more PLAQUES you
have.
High cholesterol in the
blood is a cause of PLAQUES.
Some vegetable oils will lower
the cholesterol count, but so
much oil must be taken that
the patient often becomes
fat while taking the cure.
The Bureau of Fisheries has
learned that a small amount
Of odorless, tasteless men,
haden oil will do the same
job and do it better.
1t will do more than that.
Mr.. Holston believes it will
also diminish PLAQUES al
ready in the arteries. When
it is added to a baby's for
mula, the result is found to
be close to the goodness of
breast feeding. In the aged,
a little bit Of it helps the abb
sorption of food.
In one test case. four grams
a day for so days corrected a
chronic heart condition. It
isn't magic, but, the next
time I am out on the Atlantic
fishing, and I see a dead
moSsbunker float by, I am
going to stand solemnly at
the rail and raise my cap.

THE COUNCILS VIEW
Ellen should be aware chill
dren are seldom fooled about
important matters like their
parents real feelings. This
is just one reason why she
should not try to falsify is
sues in relation to her son.
The other reason is simply
that she has a right and q
need to strive for her own
happiness.
Ellen feels terribly bur-
dened at present by her at
tempt to play both mother
and father to Bruce. The boy
Is no doubt aware of this.
He would not be likely to OBJ
ject to going to sports events
with his mother If she thor
oughly enjoyed these outings
herself. We see no objection
to a mothers playing base
ball with her boy-if she en-
joys it. But If she must force
herself the youngster will
know 1t and will feel in the
way.
1t is evident that Ellen
would like to free herself of
some Of the responsibilities
involved in the care of her
son. Bruce would, therefore,
feel rejected II he were sent
to boarding school. But If he
were sent to boarding school
because his mother honestly
felt he would be happier and
under better care there, it
is just possible that Bruce
would fare well.
We think Ellen should give
up the idea that she must
make up for the lack in
Bruce's life.
A far more practical solu-
ton would be for Ellen to
try to find an uncle, cousin,
family friend or paid worker
to help out on a more or less
permanent basis.

and doctor. He will make 1t
easy for you.
Many readers write in to
ask about physical medicine.
They also want to know Just
what is rehabilitation. In q
recent issue Of the Cincinnati
Journal Of Medicine I found
these explanations, which
are to the point:
'PHYSICAL MEDICINE" is
that branch Of medicine
which Is characterized by the
use Of physical force and
energy to diagnose and treat
disease.
These include mechanical,
electrical, thermal, and water
forms Of power and energy.
For example, mechanical
stretching Of contracted ten
dons, short-wave diathermy,
ultraviolet rays to help tissue
growth, and hydro massage
to exercise partly paralyzed
muscles"
Now what is meant by re-
Mobilization? 1t may be de-
fined as "the process whereby
the person, disabled or handi-
capped by illness or accident,
is restored to as nearly nor
NAL functioning as possible"
We require much teamwork
to do the job well. Among
the areas we develop in
reaching our objective are
psychology, vocational train
ing, social casework, nursing,
pSychiatry. cardiology, ortho-
pedicS, surgery, and internal
medicine.
Another name for rehabili-
tation might well be "dedica-
ton" to the disabled and
