SEND A KID TO CAMP
Tommy Mojored
In How to Hate

At 9, Tommy knew nothing
of love and affection. But he
was an expert at hating.
He had lived with a mentally
disturbed grandmother who
drilled into him hate for his
mother, the father he never
knew, his three brothers and
sisters, and the man who is
the father of his younger
brother.
When he finally came home
to live with his mother after
five years with his grand
mother in another State, his
hatred boiled over. He was
powerless to do anything to
his mother or the older chill
dren so he took out his hate on
his younger brother. After sew
eral violent attacks on his
younger brother, Tommy tried
to take his own life.
With the aid of the Welfare
Department, Tommy began
pSychiatric treatment at a To-
cal hospital clinic. Later he
began group therapy at a settle
ment house. Progress has been
slow but steady.
Unfortunately, this program
will end soon for the summer
and there will be several weeks
where Tommy will not have
daily contact with the counse-
lor or the other youngsters.
He has made such good
progress the counselor fears
that a break now might be a
setback.
Two weeks at summer camp
where he will be with young
sters his own age and will have
the attention and supervision
of trained counselor would
bridge the gap until the fall
rogram at the settlement
house begins.

Later, according to county
Supervisor Robert c. Gotten, jr.,
who lives nearby, the school ap-
piled for permission to operate
a summer day camp.
Application Turned Down
This application was turned
down by the board of coming
appeals because the board felt
the operation would be detri-
mental to the residential char
acter of the neighborhood.
But the school received per-
mission from the Virginia
Board of Education to run an
elementary school under the

mer classes and activities are
now going on at the school.
The freedom of choice"
laws, passed during the last
session of the Virginia Gen
eral Assembly, were aimed at
easing the impact Of integra-
ton on public schools.
Schools approved under
these laws do not have to meet
local ordinances. Inspection Of
fire protection and sanitation
facilities is done by State
rather than county officials.
When the school was brought
to the attention of the county
board of supervisors, the su-
pervisors asked the State Board
of Education to notify the
county when such applications
are made in the future. The
State board has agreed to do

County Set
To Appeal
Key Ruling

The County Council has filed
an appeal to a circuit court
decision that restored budget
authority of the county man
ager over the county school
budget.
sCircuit Court Judge Thomas
NJ. Anderson ruled recently
that the county manager must
get the school board first, not
the council, and that any cuts
the manager makes cannot be
restored by the council without
a So vote.
Previously, the council adopt
ed policy whereby it could in
crease Reese school budget cuts
by only a 4-3 vote.
Assistant County Attorney
Joseph P. Blocher said the
council, on the current school
budget, must follow the pro-
cedure of restoring cuts-by a
SO vote.
The appeal does not stay the
court ruling and, although the
county will ask the appellate
court to hear the appeal
promptly, it is not likely the
case will be decided before this
summer, Blocher said.

Big Census
Is Coming
Very Soon

Advance report forms for
the 1860 census were mailed to
area homes last week in a move
to speed up the process of ac.
cumulating vital statistics when
the actual tally gets under way
tomorrow.
Distribution of the advance
forms, according to commerce
department officials, will en-
able each family to assemble
necessary information about its
members before the arrival of
the census-taker and, if proper
ly filled out, should shorten
the time required by the emu
merators to collect their data.
The advance form includes
Sc en- questions about every
person in the household. Per-
sonal information will include
the name, address, sex, color or
race, month and year of birth,
whether married or single and
relationship to the head of the
household.
Information required con.
corning the dwellings visited by
the enumerat0rs embraces the
number of rooms, cooking
facilities, plumbing and wheth-
er rented or owned.
At every fourth household,
the census-takers will leave
household questionnaires con-
tanning additional questions
covering population and hous-
ing characteristics for use in a
sample survey of rs per cent of
the nations population. Pre-ad-
dressed postage free envelopes
will be provided so the sample
returns can be mailed to local
census district offices.
Census takers will attend
training sessions next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday to pre-
pare them for their roles in
compiling the nations popula-
ton.

Connection
Plan Tried

A new departure in water
and sewer house connection
construction is being tried out
by the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, surbur-
ban Maryland water-sewer
agency.
Bids will be opened March %
on a contract calling for con-
struction of connections and
supply of materials for all
house connections in the area
of the Sanitary District south
of Central ave. in Prince
Georges County for the re-
mainder of 1860. The work is
estimated to cost under $50, 900.
The connections, which are
lines run from the main pipes
to the property lire hook-up
with new WSSC customers, are
normally installed either by
WSSC crews or under labor
contracts, where the Commits
sion supplies the materials.
Approximate quantities of
material included in the new.
type contract, which is designed
to test out the new method to
see whether or not it will save
the Commission time an |
money, are: 5000 feet of y inch
and 2900 feet of Inch water

A recommended increase #

compared to the $966,453 au-
thorized for the current year.
Reese specifically recommend
ed employment Of 10 additional
health nurses and two nursing
ASSISTANTS step which would
account for a major item of the

DR.. Peoples said employment
of the additional nurses would
meet one of the departments
most pressing needs, arising
from a tremendous increase in
demands for health service due
to the county's booming popu-
lation growth. The 10 nurses
and the two assistants, he said,
would account for $4,000 of

At his conviction last Friday,

Court officials said, however
Pope can file a personal request
for a pardon if he withdraws
the appeal before the higher

Col. Sardjono convicted Pope
of killing II members of Indo-
