cording to the state information
agency.
While the ocean front from Cape
Henlopen to Fenwick Island does
not ordinarily offer the "beach-
comber" the great variety of sea
shells found in some other coastal
areas, it does offer a variety of
selection ranging from diminutive
whelks to the big colorfnl pear
conch.
These external skeletons of a
form of life that has changed little
in an estimated 500 million years
are generally in greatest evidence
after one of the infrequent Della
ware Coast storms has churned up
the off-shore ocean bottom where
most mollusks are to be found.
On such occasions, the discrim-
mating beachcomber can fiIfd
treasures" of seashells among the
debris washed ashore from ship
board and sea bottom.
Some of the mollusks, such as
the bivalved CLAIMS and oysters,
had considerable commercial
value while alive, while others, in
function; at least one, the small
but deadly Oyster Drill, creates,
at times, considerable havoc in
commercial oyster beds.
According to the Development
Department, the following shells
may be found on and near Della
ware beaches:
OYSTERS, greyish white and
ruffed shells, four to six inches
long. Unlike the pearl-bearing
oyster of the South Pacific, this
variety has a dull blue-white lin
ing, and only when it assumes
some unusual shape does it have
value to a collector.
SURF.CLAM, one of the largest
(up to seven inches) bivalves
found along the Atlantic Coast,
offers a big heavy triangular
shell, white or brownish-white,
shiny on the inside.

colleague from Delaware, Senator
John j. Williams (R) was one OF
the five dissenters.
Senator Robert S. Kerr ID
Okla), floor manager for the bill,
considered Frear's move an un-
usual one, but inasmuch as 1t lIl-
volved the senator's own state sug-
gested its adoption. However, any
senator who proposed to "deau-
thorize" a project in another state,
he advised, would have been Wig
orously opposed.
Frear explained that the project
was originally authorized in 1910,
has never been implemented by an
appropriation and should be aban-
dOned.
The august Senate was enlight-
ened by the information, supplied
gratis by Senator Frear,. that the
mean low water average in the st.
Jones River is closer to seven inch
es than to the seven feet called for
in the 50-year-old plan. There is
no commercial traffic on the creek,

small pleasure craft.

STUBBYRAZOR CLAM is white,
usually bleached chalky and four
inches stout.
JINGLES are little clans having
wrinkled lustrous cups, one to two
inches acrss. While these gener-
ally are gold or silver in color,
some are pearly black or red, and
all are thin enough to see sun

CLANS, they average three inches
in diameter.
RAZOR CLAM is like an old
fashioned straight razor--shinny,
thin, green or brown or lavender
or yellow, marked with concentric
growth rings. Up to seven inches
long.
MUSSELS having blue-black
thin shells, lined with violet-blue
nacre, are found in abundance
throughout the coastal area and
vary in length to four inches.
RIBBED MUSSELS have green
yellowish shells and iridescent
Innings, and are generally found
in clusters on washed-ashore sea-
weed masses.
WHELKS range from little half
inch dog whelks to the big knob
bed pear conch, up to 10 inches
high with a beautiful orange cav
ity. Strangely, most snails found
in northern waters spiral and
open to the right, making left

find.

Hospital Says
Suits Won't
Slow Drive
For Funds

The Silver Spring Hos
pital Association plans no
let up in its campaign to
raise ST million to help build
the Holy Cross Silver Spring
Hospital, according to Associ-
alton President Robert T. Snure.
Snure's statements were made
at the inaugural meeting of the
Silver Spring Reciprocity Club
Tuesday.
The hospital, to be operated
by the Sisters of the Holy Cross,
will be located on more than 10
acres of land owned by the as
ISOLATION at Forest Glen I'd and
Sligo Creek pkwy.
Two suits are pending in
Montgomery County Circuit
Court. They seek to prevent the
hospitals construction.
Snure said the association
was confident" that the litiga-
ton would be settled in favor
of the association which has
been working for 16 years to get
a sorely needed hospital to
serve nearly 100000 persons liv-
ing in the Silver Spring-Wheat-
on area.
"Instead of letting up In our
efforts to obtain the hospital
and to raise the necessary funds
for it, we are going to step up
our work." Snure told the club.
He also emphasized that the
association had contacted sew.
eral religious groups in an
effort to obtain assistance in
building and operating the hos.
pital.
Under the agreement reached
with the Sisters of the Holy
Cross, the order agreed to pro-
vide some 1872 million of the
SIS million construction costs.
Another $560,000 is anticipated
in Federal Halliburton hospital
construction grants.
The hospital association itself
will provide the site, some $780,
600 of its own funds and take
the lead in the 81 million drive
for public subscriptions.

Fears Told
By Citizens

Proposed annexation of 30
acres on Rockville's Western
fringe has adjacent one-acre
homesteaders worried.
Citizens in three separate sub
divisions are afraid that their
large lots may some day be
surrounded with city-sized half.
acre lots.
They petitioned the Rockville
Mayor and Council last week
to:
. Create a new, one-acre zon.
ing classification like the one
on county books.
= Provide that all subsequent
annexations be put in the new
zone.
The homeowners are residents
of Glen Hills, Potomac High
lands, and Hunting Hill Estates.
Applicant for annexation since
1858 is builder Marvin Simmons.
The land owned by Simmons
and the contiguous 160-acre
Lakewood Country Club togeth-
er lie within planned, maximum
expansion limits of the city.
One-acre homeowners also
asked the city to include in its
coming ordinance similar con-
trolls over traffic, noise, ETC.,
eminating from country clubs,
as are contained in the countys

for helping prevent the flames

First to discover the fire was

He helped lead several calves
