the FILA awhile, and then went tt
the farm of his daddy, o. C. Bal
lance in the Nebraska community
of Lake Landing. There he joined
hands with his father and his two
brothers, Orville and Wesley. They
soon began to make things hum or
the old acres. This fine farm, swept
by the waters from Pamlico Sound
across Wyocking Bay, they named
Shorewinds farm. They put into in
tensive cultivation 600 acres of it.
and the father and three sons carry
the burden, with five or six field
hands as needed in season. Their
brand name is "Shor-winner."
The Balances have been Joined
by several of their progressive
neighbors, who are growing vege-
tables crops too, with equal sue
cess. Small patches of several va
rieties are planted. They have
planted a total of 100 acres in Gu
cumbers. Among these planters be-
side the Balance brothers are FL
wood Spencer, James E. Midget,
Guy Sadler, Sam and Willie Dudley,
George Bush, and others. The Gu
cumbers are brought to the COM
munity packing shed, graded, clean
ed ,waxed, and packed in uniform
sizes in bushel baskets. An amazing
lot of culls are dumped in the
woods, and these could be manu-
featured into pickles and relish,
once a processing plant can be
established, and which is the dream
of these farmers. At the warehouse
alone, about 40 local people have
been given employment during the
past three weeks.
The Balance farm is the only
one growing tomatoes. One expert
mental acre was planted, yielding
200 bushels worth SIS a bushel. A
good average yield for this type

bushels per acre.
The hardy acorn and butternut
type of squashes have proven sue
cessful, and these go out to mar
kets in the Midwest and New
England, packed in bushel baskets.
But while the Balances and their
neighbors are dreaming of a new
day, and pointing the way to new
and interesting changes in farming,

If WE KNEW

Could we but draw back the curtains
That surround each others lives;
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find it better
Purer than we Judge we should;
We would love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we Judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within;
Often we would love the sinner,
All the while we loathe the sin.
Could we know the powers working
To o'erthrow integrity.
We should judge each others errors
With more patient charity.
IF we knew the cause and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointments
Understood the loss and gain,
Would the grim, external roughness
Seem wonder, just the same?
Would we help where now we hinder?
Would we pity where we blame?
All, we Judge each other harshly,
Knowing not LIES hidden force;
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good
oh, we'd love each other better
If we only understood.

adequate business airport, has
one almost ready.

BY last weeks end, great
earth-movers had completed
transferring the hills into the
valleys on the old Hadley
farms's 388 acres to complete
grading on the main 3,l00-foot
runway, which will be paved.
Work is being rushed on a
second strip Of 2,100 feet. Both
have expansion possibilities to
run them out to 5,100 and 1900
feet, with 1,500-foot clear areas
at either end.
The paved strip will be
stressed for $4,000 pounds per
wheel, with heavier areas at
points of touchdown.
Behind the project is Will

Montgomery to Open New Airport
In Bid to Attract More Business

efforts finally brought the
county council to a successful
application for Federal aid of
$250,000 for airport construc-
ton. A matching amount was
budgeted by the county.
But after the county's failure
to pursue the project in the
next two years, the old Civil
Aeron autics Administration
(now Federal Aviation Agency
was forced to withdraw the
$250,000.
One of the best things about
the new airf1eld, members of
the aviation industry and civic
interests in Montgomery
County feel is that title is
held by the county. This elimi-
mates the possibility that at
some future time the developer
could close the airfield and

generally today that a city

it wants to be in order to in
sure a rational development.
The opinion was expressed at
the first Annapolis roundtable
conference at st. Johns COL

The conference explored the
question of how older Ameri-
can cities could preserve their
historic traditions in a period
of urban development.
The image" idea was pre-
sented by William Ewald of
Washington at a panel discus
sion. Mr.. Ewald, an assistant
commissioner with the Housing

impossible just to preserve"
Richard Steiner, director of
the Baltimore Urban Renewal

Finley of Washington, high
lighted the demand for more

said that the pressure of land

to provide intensive counseline
services.
Types Selected
The families selected for this
type Of help normally would
not be. getting any assistance
from either public or private
welfare groups, according to
Mr.. Shea. They would be iden-
titled, he said, through their
children, who would be among
the hungry students" getting
free lunches in District ele-
mentary schools.
Tomorrow'S report to the
Commissioners urging adoption
Of the program is a direct
result of the Welfare Depart
ment's participation this last
year in the new free-lunch
program.
The departments role so far
has simply. been to screen the
youngsters selected for the
lunches by school principals to
make sure they really need the
food.
The case workers assigned to
this task last year found, how
ever, that the principals are
already doing "a good job" of
screening, Mr.. Shea says.
Interim Report
An interim report on the
lunch program-just released
last week-shows, in fact, that
through March II, the case
workers had overruled the
principals on only 81 children
from 81 families while approx
ing their selections of l,725
youngsters from 643 families.
1--WE think it is a waste of
GS-9 case worker time to con-
tinue this screening" Mr.. Shea
says. He will urge the Com
missioners to allow his depart
ment to use the $4,000 ear
marked for screening during
1960-l to set up the preventive
program.
According to Mrs. Imogen
Thompson, a Welfare Depart
ment official who directed the
screening last year, only about
one third of the families with
youngsters getting free lunches
actually were receiving public
assistance money.
Most Of the others had no
contacts with any welfare
agency. she says. A surprising
number" Of them, she adds,
had a normal family situation
with father, mother, and chill
dren all living together. "They
had problems" she says, "but
they were sticking together" :"
The chief problem facing
them is their limited financial
resources. The median monthly
income of those not on public
assistance was 1927.
