sentative, however, it may be as
sumed he was not talking about
the Forand bill, introduced by a
Rhode Island congressman of the
same name.
This bill, if passed, would pro-
vide relatively low cost medical
and hospital insurance for the
nations retired workers.
Although it has received scant
attention in the press, it has be-
come the subject of a tremendous
propaganda b arr &c by the
American medical Assn. Recent
" l asked several neWspapermen
if, they knew about the measure
or what it provided. Two said
they had not heard of it, a third
said he became interested in the
measure when he began to notice
the vehemence of the ANA at
lacks. A fourth said he was fam
liar with the measure because a
doctor asked him if it was ''some
more socialized medicine"
X
Outside the halls Of Congress
the debate over the Forand bill
proceeds furiously. But since
hardly anyone knows what it
does, brief run down might be
in order. What it would do is
provide hospital, surgical and
nursing home treatment, under
federal supervision, for some 49,
100000 older citizens eligible for
social security payments.
The ANA has put out a small
pamphlet describing the measure.
The title sums up the ANA atti-
tude, "POLITICAL MEDICINE
IS BAD MEDICINE.
It begins:
political medicine is the type
of medicine this country could
expect if a measure now before
Congress were made law -. 1t
would mean red tape, bureau
cratic control, high costs and in
ferior medical care Further, it
would establish a system of so
cialized medicine for a large seq
ment of the population. Amer
leans rejected socialized medicine
in 1850. But here it is again UNI
der different label"
I wonder, in view of the Ke-
fauver inquiry on the high cost
of drugs, if the ANA makes a
good case for the medical profess
sion when its arguments are
pitched to such an emotional
level?

Judging from a commentator
Of the time, charity musicales OF
the late 18th century were a
trial to all who attended.
The following account of one
Of these affairs is from the jan
uary 20, 1893 number of the
Anonymous News, small
paper published at Norbert by
John E. Muncaster for the
amusement OF fellow members
of the Anonymous Club.

terrain them for / was the only
man present for some time, the
master of ceremonies announced
that the first thing on the pro-
gramme was a piano duet by
Misses Ramsey and Treadwell.
Then having enjoined silence, he
sat down. The two young ladies'
divided the keyboard into equal
parts and commenced to gallop
over them at a fearful rate,
each trying to Guido the other.
Fortunately for the assembled
company the melody CD was
not long drawn out.

followed a duet by a man and
his wife which was very well
rendered.

applause, meant, l think to

Chamber Council
In furthering its aims, the
Chamber recently supported
the creation of a Council of
Montgomery County Chambers
of Commerce as proposed by F.
E. Wall, jr., a vice president of
the Chamber.
The proposal, as outlined by
Wall, emphasized that achieve

countrywide action. These in

To keep pace with the growth
of Montgomery County, one of
the fastest growing counties in
the United States, and to spur
individual interest in the civic,
cultural, educational and indus
trial development of the county,
the Montgomery County Cham
Der of Commerce was formed
in 1857.
Since its inception, the Cham
ber's influence has been wide
spread. Working in such areas
as economic development, edu-
cation and the construction of
a County Airport, the volunteer
efforts of the members have
provided a sound foundation for
the future growth of the county.
During the past year, among
the principal detectives of the
Chamber has been a campaign
designed to attract industry and
other tax-producing businesses
to the area. The Chambers
economic development commit
tee, under the craftsmanship of
Matthew Witenstein, took in
ventory of the county's re-
sources and assets. From this
inventory a set of long range
plans were developed.
Push Research
BY concentrating on Science
oriented" crafts, more accept
able to the citizenry than the
conventional type of industry,
the Montgomery County Cham
Der of Commerce has made
rapid strides in its efforts to
increase the potential of the
county.
'The progress has been &C.

opened In November, 1850, by
Margaret A. c. Welsh, who was
born in Rockville in 1856, and
who was the first customer of
Woodward & Lothrop when this
store moved to it's second loca-
ton on Pennsylvania ave. in
1881. =
Woodward & Lothrop had pi-
oneered in the location of its
store at Wisconsin and West
ern ayes. in Montgomery Coun-
ty. BY 1859, this area was the
focal point of a thriving shop
ping area, the intervening nine
years having witnessed a ire
mendous expansion program in
shopping and parking facilities.
On February 5 of this year,
the new Woodward & Lothrop
Wheaton Plaza Store in Mont
gomery County was opened.
AuditOriums Offered
1t has been Woodward &
Lothrop's aim not only to be
good merchants, but to be a
good neighbor. With this in
mind, the store has equipped
both its Chevy Chase and
Wheaton Plaza Stores with au-
ditoriums to be used by com
munity organizations.
In 1850, there were approx
mately 80 industrial establish
ments In Montgomery County.
Now, over 100 years later, there
are several thousand business
and industrial establishments in
this county.
Woodward & Lothrop takes
pride in being a part of this
business growth and in being a
good neighbor to the county's
citizens who have contributed
greatly to the advancement of
their community in every field
of endeavor.

complished by a steady decline
in citizen opposition by resi-
dents who, only a few years
ago, were adamant in their re-
fusal to welcome industry as a
part of the county's economic
life," Witenstein said.
In the last three years, he
noted, such firms as Interna-
tional Business Machines; Gen.
eral Electric Co.; United States
Industries, Vitro Corporation;
Radio Corporation; Johns Hop
kins Operations Research Of
flee and others have established
new facilities or greatly ex-
panded existing operations in
the county.
The Chamber has succeeded
in convincing the citizenry that
industry not only helps pay
taxes but also provides a bet
ter job market for the individ-
ual and a more balanced econ
omy generally, Witenstein said.
Airport Opening
To attract this science orient
ed" industry, an airport COM
mittee under the craftsmanship
of c. c. Thompson, was instru-
mental in the decision to under
take construction of an airport
and adjoining industrial COM
munity in upper Montgomery
County. The airport will be
opened early next month.
During this past year the
county's educational resources
were carefully scrutinized by
the Chamber. With the new

The Johns I Hopkins University
Applied Physics Laboratory

Since early in World War ii, The Johns
Hopkins University Applied Physics Labo-
ratory (APL), has developed antiaircraft
weapons and weapons systems. First the
proximity or VT fuze Ia small radar set
mounted in projectiles) was developed, in
creasing many times the antiaircraft capa-
bility of both u. s. and Allied Forces
Later, significant advances were made in
radar controlled gun directors.
Since 1915 the Laboratory's principal
achievements have been in supersonic
guided missiles, including development of
the Navy's Terrier, Talos, and Tartar anti
aircraft missiles. In addition to current
advanced work in the missile field, APL is
engaged in satellite development and space
exploration, fundamental research, assess
ment of existing and proposed weapons
systems and tactics, and the development
of a new and highly complex radar and
integrated weapons system for future de-
tense of the Fleet.
A division of Johns Hopkins, APL oper-
ates under contract with the Bureau of
Weapons of the Department of the Navy.

ployed by these industries, the
Chamber, in cooperation with
DR.. c. Taylor Whittier, Super
intendent of Schools, has moved
to create q closer liaison be-
tween the county's schools and
this business community.
In an effort to prepare high
school students for the job op-
portunities afforded, the Cham
Der met with representatives of
major local employers and the
Montgomery County Youth
Commission with a view to de-
veloping program under which
students would be trained spe.
officially for placement in coun-
ty business and industry.
Faniliarize Students
Under the plan, students at
the junior and senior high
school level would be familiar
lied with the nature and re-
quirements of jobs available so
they can adapt their school pro-
grams to prepare them for en-
ployment they consider desir-
able.
The Chamber has proposed
that students be given the op-
portunity to study various
phases of the business world
through visits and consultations
with potential employers. This
opportunity would enable the
students to gear their remain
ing school courses toward the
requirements of their chosen
field.

The founders of this estab-
lishment in 1880 were Samuel
Walter Woodward and Alvin
Mason Lothrop, who later
moved their fine store to its
present location at 18th and F
SITS. in 1887.
Since then, through 80 years
of its growth, Woodward &
Lothrop has been powered by a
pioneering spirit which Is ira
ditional with this family-owned
organization.
AS an institution of individ-
ualS dedicated to the service of
the community, Woodward &
Lothrop has expanded from a
small three-story building on
Pennsylvania ave. to a modern
downtown department store
with six branches in Maryland
and Virginia.
The Virginia stores In the
Pentagon, in Alexandria and at
7 Corners were opened in 1916,
1852 and 1856 respectively.
Branch Store
Woodward & Lothrop be-
came a part of Montgomery
County in 1916 when it opened
a branch store in Bethesda.
This store, later destroyed by
fire on December II, 1854, was
rebuilt and reopened on Sep5
TENDER 6, 1855 new, i'm
proved Bethesda Budget Store,
almost twice as large as the
former building.
The first store to be built by
Woodward & Lothrop in Mont
gomery County was the Chevy
Chase Store, which with its
modified Georgian architecture,
was a proud model for future
branches.
This store was formally

tions, the original site on Georgia Avenue
in Silver Spring and extensive new facilities
in Howard County, midway between Balti-
more and Washington on Route 20. At
present there are 1850 employees, nearly
800 of whom are professional engineers
and scientists.
Two features distinguish the organiza-
ton: the self-dependence of professional
staff members and the fuidity of relation
ships among groups working in the several
areas of technical effort. The high caliber
of the professional staff and the magnitude
and importance of its programs enable the
Laboratory to assign to individual scien-
lists and technical men a measure of
responsibility much greater than in many
other establishments.
Facilities are exceptionally complete and
modern, including extensive research equip
ment, large-scale computers, libraries, and
cafeterias Office and laboratory areas are
subdivided into small units designed to
provide maximum quiet and privacy for
individual workers. Fringe benefits are
comprehensive and include excellent edu.
cational opportunities.
