The Christmas season can
seem pretty cherries to a
girl living in a strange city,
far from her family and old
friends.
The administrative staff at
strong Residence, the
YWCA'S lodging house for
young women, knows just how
sharp this seasonal homesick-
ness can be.
To Offset it, they distract
the girls under their care
with a family-style Christ
mas program.
Trimming Party
At a tree-trimming party
held in the residence earlier
this month, about 35 of the
permanent residents made
merry in the lounge, decora-
ting each other as we'll as the
tree with tinsel and bulbs,
singing carols and slipping hot
cinnamon punch dipped from
the wassail bowl.
Other residents kept pop

the girls-dropped in too.

The tree-trimming party

Check on Gamers
AS for the tomato problem,
Williams said there are some
200 independent Gamers in
this district, principally on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and
Northern Neck Of Virginia. He
said even in checks made only
once or twice packing season,
his inspectors have found cans
of rotten, dirty or watered to-
matoes. He said he just does
not have the manpower to
spend an adequate amount of
time checking these Gamers.

hundreds Of thousands" he
said. I'VE know already that
it's a million-dollar business
and we have only scratched
the surface"
He said three other major
problems in the Washington
area are watered oysters,
health foods sold by door to-
door medicine men," and
canned tomatoes.
Watered Oysters
Oysters, he explained, swell
up to half again their size If
soaked in fresh water a few
hours To keep the housewife
from paying for water, the
food and drug law forbids
packers from washing" their
oysters for more than a half
hour. But on November q a

cleared a packer of watering
charges even after FDA in

oysters being soaked for two
and one-half hours.

son H. Cruikshank, AFL-CIO
social security director, told The
Star yesterday.
Miss Sally Butler, legislative
director of the Women's Clubs
Federation, said, I'VE certainly
will be on hand to make sure
FDA gets the money it needs"
Even without this new pres
sure, Congress last year gave
FDA So million more than the
$1l.8 million. the Eisenhower
administration had requested
for this fiscal year. And Bud
get Director Maurice H. Stans
last week announced that FDA
is one of the agencies the ad-
ministration will request more
money for next year.
Additional funds would IA
cilitate more FDA protection
for Washington area consum-
ers. Richard E. Williams, head
OF FDA'S staff covering WASH
| ington, said that "a small frac-
ton" Of l per cent of all the
food coming into Washington
is checked by his inspectors.
FDA has only one full-time in
spector for the Washington
area. He said five inspectors
would be nearer the actual
need.
OF course there is a limit to
how much new money FDA
headquarters and its districts
could absorb. There is a lead
time in these things" Commits
sioner Larrick said, because
the training is very special
lied" But he hopes to get at
least the is per cent increase
Congress has given FDA in re-
cent years.
New Building Need
He described the FDA staff
and facilities as totally made
quate" for policing commerce
in foods, drugs and cosmetics
valued at $40 billion a year.
For example, FDA has only $50
inspectors for the whole Ma
ton. And Congress is giving
FDA more responsibilities all
the time.
Our biggest single need is
for a modern. we'll equipped
building here in Washington"
Commissioner Larrick said.
Right now we are scattered
over four buildings and soon
it will be six. You cannot OPP
crate efficiently that way"
He said FDA's new RESPONSE
bilitleS. such as testing crops
for poison pesticides like am
inotriazole and determining
how much of certain chemicals
can be added to food safely,
put tremendous pressure on
its laboratory facilities. One
lab is in a sub-basement under
the pipes.
A new $23 million FDA
building with a modern labora-
tory has been sought since
1948. The building FDA wants
has been designed and would
be constructed across Third
street S.W. from the present
Health, Education and Welfare
Department building.
Drug Sale Problem
AS for the Washington area,
the FDA man in charge has
lots of ideas on how to spend
additional money his Office may
received. Right now Mr.. Will
liams, whose Baltimore Dis
trict takes in this area, feels
like a man shoveling against
the tide. !
The Washington area is a
big center for underworld sales
of barbiturates and ample
tamines," he said. So-called
benny" tablets unhinge a per-
son like a narcotic. Mr.. Will
liams said a lot of the illegal
sales in the Washington area
are to truck drivers and ju-
venileS.
