Milk Unit to Ask
Price Increase
For Formers

A hearing on provisions OF
the current Federal milk mar
keting order covering minimum
prices paid to farmers in the
Washington milkShed will be
held here September %.
The hearing. to consider ex-
tending or amending the order,
will be conducted at the Presi-
Dental Arms at 10 am. by
Agriculture Department OFF,
Gals.
Under the present order, due
to expire next January, the
price paid to farmers for raw
milk to be used for bottling
purposes is an average Of $5.55
for 46 quarts.
A spokesman for the Mary
land-Virginia Milk Producers
Association said his group will
seek to increase the price to
include a Accent premium that
the cooperative is now charg-
ing for high-quality milk.
Early last year a dispute
arose between the Maryland
Virginia producers group and
some local diaries when the
diaries urged that the premium
be discontinued. 1t is expected
that the diaries will again urge
the milk market order admin
istrators not to include the
Accent premium as part Of the
minimum price.

Mr.. Berkey agreed to MAIN

of the center.
Board member last June re-
jected his initial proposal for
a shopping center covering 81
areas on grounds that it would

development plan for the area.
He subsequently reduced the
size OF the projected center in
an effort to conform with the
plan.
KauI Hits Plan
Aligning himself with the OPP
ponents of the rezoning, board
member Ralph Kaul declared
that the center approved is not
substantially different from the
one disapproved three months
ago.
The request by Marymount
to house some 20 girls in a
three bedroom brick home at
1888 North Twenty sixth street
also evoked a barrage of OPP
position from residents Of the
Forest Hills section.
They warned that establish
ment of a temporary dormitory
would constitute an opening
wedge for further intrusion into
the single family residential
subdivision.
They also said fraternity
serenades, callers, dancing and
swimming parties might cause
! disturbances.

1t is vital. for this reason,

The spoken word which

is there for all to see as long

controst Needed

A good design has interest
with simplicity. Interest i'm
plies contrast, since the eye
is pleased by contrast. But
enough is enough. Too much
contrast wearies and con-
fuses the eye. For that rea-
son, the basic concept should
convey a simple idea with
sufficient contrast to be in
tereSting. The simple design
is the most durably pleasing,
as the great architectural
styles attest.
One way of getting down
to cases would be to refer to
Georgian-inSpired residential
design, of the type that you
find in many early American
houses. There are many ex-
ampleS in Washington, espe-
cially in restoration areas
Georgetown, for instance, and
other neighborhoodS.
The basis of the appeal Of
Georgian INSPIRED architec-
ture is it's appropriate scale.
and it's essential harmony,
design, interest and SIM
plicity.

Today. in my opinion, we

Good design can be

Aspects of design may vary
greatly with each style. But
il you examine the separate
parts you find the same un-
derlying reasons for their
ability to delight and be-

Perhaps the principal quail

This may be defined as the
appropriateness Of the vari-

The proportions Of all the

Il got an apartment in Vir-

Few Live Alone
Most Of the Government

of their monthly pay check

apartment seems to cost $llO
to $l20 and it is often split
down the middle. Sometimes
there's third roommate. Not

They enjoy it. Few of these
girls would consider living
alone.
Most of the Pentagon girls
live in Arlington or other sub
urbs and so do many of the girls
who work in the District. Rent
on the whole is cheaper in the
suburbs. For those who live in
Washington, most congregate
in the not-so-fashionable parts
of the Northwest section.
One girl, rejecting on an
apartment in that area, said,
When you first come to Wash
ington you can really get
hooked. A girl and I moved into
a place about as big as a closet.
There were bats in the hall. 1t
was summer time and there was
only one little window and the
breeze wouldn't come in. There
was a TV but it didn't work and
water kept leaking out of the
lcebox and when we were both
in the place there wasn't room
to move. For that we paid $28
a week"
