THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

them around in q. natural
manner.
Insect repellents are among
the better offerings of the
coSmetic-chemical production
lines.
They work very well for
some users, not so well for
others.
There are on the market
certain antihistamines that.
are supposed to stop insect
bites from itching.
Perhaps we didn't take
enough, but the one we used
did not produce any remark
able results.
We got bit as much as
ever. and the bites itched as
much as ever.
There is one type of rub.
that is supposed to 20
through the skin. This is ex.
actly what is needed, since
the poison Of the mosquito
cite is deposited beneath the
outer layer.
We have found this type
OF medication effective in
stopping the itch of bites.
This type of medication is
primarily for sore muscles.
1t comes in liquid and jelly
form. An application is
made, allow to dry for 20 to
80 seconds: make a second
application. wait 80 seconds:
make a third application.
A tested and valuable itch
stopper is hot water, but in
mentioning it one must eau
ton against careless use.
A folded cloth is dipped
into boiling water, the water
then squeezed out, and the
cloth wedge held until much
Of the steam evaporates.
1t is then repeatedly
dabbed on the offending bite.
If the cloth is too wet, the
place will be scalded, which
is worse than any nom
poisonous bite.
If carefully done, two or
three applications will stop
any itch cold for at least s
hours.

Airport Sewage

Inc ClLlzenS council Tor a
Clean Potomac commends
The Star for two recent edi-
torials entitled "Have a Sew
age Cocktail" and "Veto
Warranted" august 20 and
22) on the inadequate "solu-
ton" that Congress has pro-
vided for sewage disposal at
the new Dulles International
Airport. Chantilly, Va. The
decision against piping the
airport sewage to the District
plant for treatment, but
rather, to build a small sew
age treatment at the air.
port and to pour its effiuent
into Broad Run, a small trib-
utary Of the Potomac, Just a
few miles above the WASH
ington Arlington drinking
water supply at Great Falls,
Is most regrettable.
This Council protests that
decision because:
!. Water supply engineers
say the efiluent will affect
the taste Of the drinking
water. In case Of overflow
or breakdown Of the plant,
raw sewage would fiow right
into the water supply con-
duits and endanger the
health Of the people Of WASH
ington. Arlington and Falls
Church.
2. All Of the governments
OF the upriver jurisdictions
on both sides Of the Potomac
have agreed, through the
Washington Metropolitan
Regional Conference, not to
dump any sewage or treat
ment plant efiluent into the
Potomac between the mouth
Of the Monocacy and the new
drinking water intakes at
Little Falls. The Federal
Government violates this co.
operative regional agreement.
3. The proposal makes no
provision for sewage disposal
in the satellite communities
and industrial Developments
that are now being promoted
near the airport. With the
Federal Aviation Agency de-
filing the river, these private
developments and the many
more to come may follow the
Federal Governments ex-
ample and thus pollute the
water supply enough to en-
danger public health.
4. There is a Federal law
against polluting interstate
waters.
This council urges that the
temporary and inadequate
plan for a small plant at the
airfield not be carried out.
Fourteen months ago we rec
commended that the sewage
from the airport and the
surrounding communities
that 1t will spawn be piped 10
Washington for full treat
ment, and we still feel that
conveying all Of the upstream
sewage to a point below the
water supply intakes is the
only adequate or acceptable
solution. Somehow, the FAA
and the affected communities
must get together and estab-
lish a region-wide sewage
disposal system that will not
contaminate the streams or
the water supply of any
Metropolitan Area commu-
nifty. Harold Gray,
Chairman, Citizens Coun-
Gil for a Clean Potomac.

Just as important for the

However. I don't agree with
one Of the cures being men,

million to hire 500 more
policemen. 1t is true that our
present force cannot stop or
catch every criminal but
neither could 500 more men
or 1000. Rather than sending
a lot of money down the
drain. how about employing
q few more judges and pun

and reform schools seem to
hold little terror today for
these fellows.
Just what type Of punish
ment would strike the. fear Of
God in these hoodlums I'm
not sure. but they had a large
variety Of physical punish

the stocks and whipping post

poses. AS a guest Of the
President, the Chief Execu-

funds for hishway develop

are other measures with
which Congress should deal,
but the Democratic leadership
appears to have set the four

goal before winding up the
session. Congress can. if it
will, deal with al! of them
within two weeks. Two are

others can be acted upon if

For Cleaner Theoter

As the first chairman Of
the District Recreatio n
Board, I had a small part in
creating the Carter Barron
Amphitheater in Rock Greek
Park which President Tru-
man dedicated in memory OF
one of Washington's illustri-
GUS citizens. Carter Barron
was our foremost ambassador
of show business until the
day Of his untimely death.
His life had exemplif1ed the
Importance Of cleanliness on
the stages and screens Of
America. It Is q dissertation
for his beautiful memorial to
be the fundamentally for
"sick" hurnor and vulgarity
to be afforded our young peo-
pie. especially from artists
who themselves are the OBJ
ject Of adoring and adulating
followers.
The incompatible Jerry
Lewis is the current offender.
but there have been others
before him and more will fol-
low unless the management
and public opinion prove to
these performers that it's no
longer smart" to be even q
little dirty outside of a sa-
loon.
This magnificent outdoor
theatre is a product of COM
munity effort and is main
tanned by our government for
the advancement Of the per-
forming arts. There is q
special duty on the part Of
the theater and park man
agement, and the artists
whom they present, to con-
duct themselves without of
tense to the wholesome at
mosphere Of this lovely set
ting. Many of. the greatest
entertainers of our day have
held spellbound, capacity au-
diences without q trace Of the
off-color. without q hint Of
miserable. barnyard odors.
Jerry Lewis is q sad SYM
Dol Of our times, a symbol
Of sheer wastefulness Of
genius and talent. He is
proof that smut is used not
because 1t is needed to amuse
but because it suits the con-
venience Of the jester. If he
can get away with it without
rebuke, then the less gifted
have all the more reason for
pursuing his lead.

A Visit With Mrs.
Duke Ellington

CHICAGO - After a separa-
tion of nearly 80 years, little
has been known of the Ouch
eSs in Duke Ellington's life.
But the March issue of EB-
ONY Magazine carries the ex-
elusive and never-before told
story, with pictures of seldom
photographed Edna Ellington,
the Dukes wife for more than
40 years.
In it, Mrs. Ellington tells of
some of the events and influ-
ences that helped make Duke
the worlds most prolific jazz
composer, divulges vents
leading up to their marriage
and eventual separation, then
reveals the reasons they never
divorced.
Tender, frank and heart
warming the story of Mrs. Ell
lington, who lives in quiet Sc
clusion in Washington, d. c.,
traces with an indelible line
the Dukes career from the
place of his birth to his cur
rent place in the entertain
ment sun.
Mrs. Ellington also startles
jazz bluffs by rating her son
MERGERS musical talents above
those of his famous father.
