Commissioners OF
Five Counties Talk
Over Various Items

Subjects such as junior colleges
and sewage disposal were among
items discussed by county commits
sioners of five Western Maryland
counties in quarterly meeting
last Thursday at Cumberland.
The junior college talk featured
discussion by Atlee Keplcr,
president, Hagerstown Junior col
lego, organized Is years ago.
Kepler told county commission
ers from Garrett and four other
counties about financial arrange
ments. Local students pay only
one-third of the cost while the
state and county pay one-third
each. This same arrangement could
be made for resident of either
Garrett or Washington county
should they attend the planned
new community college in Cum
berland.
The sewage question was broach-
ed by Carroll county. Carroll,
Frederick and Allegany counties
have created sanitary commissions
to handle this problem especially
in built-up areas near incorporated
towns.
Another topic was that of en-
ployment of a full-time civil en-
gineer which had been done in
Montgomery county. Counties in
the Western Maryland association
expressed interest in the prospect
of saving county funds.
Attending the session from this
county we're Carl Schell, president
of the county commissioners, Fred
Glotfelty, member, and Paul De-
Witt, assistant roads supervisor.

fincsse on the part of the Sally
Middleton, played by Nancy Colt
burg; or of Olive Lashbrooke
played by Mary Ann Craig, but be-
cause the audience had not warmed
up to the new starlets. However
when Neil Flanagan appeared for
the first time as the soldier, Bill
Paige, the audience broke out in
great applause, and he seemed to
come to the rescue of the two girls
1t was not long aftcrward that the
show picked up momentum and
went smoothly until the final cur
tain call.
This is a show where girl is
friend of girl, boy friend enters
the scene, girl walks out on boy,
boy makes scenes with other girl,
boy captures girl.
1t is the triangle all over again
but with an entirely different twist.
Nancy Gottburg, a senior at the
University of New Mexico, and
who has been active in University
Theatre productions, had the audi
cnce in the palm of her hand al
most from the start. She plays the
role of naive aspiring actress,
who is we feel deep down not
quite as naive as she leads us to
believe. She played Sally Middle
ton most convincingly. Her inter-
changeable moods and attitudes to-
ward the facts of life we're diff
cult but she showed great capa-
bilitieS.
Mary Ann Craig, also a student
at the University of New Mexico,
showed the audience that she
takes theatre seriously. Although
she was not on stage on too many
occasions, the audience was with
her throughout her performance
She was received warmly soon af-
ter the opening of the play. Her
role was not a terribly difficult
one but she played it in fine style
1t was good to see at least one
familiar face at the Playhouse this
season. Neil Flanagan returned to
the Playhouse after an absence OF
one year. This is Neils fourth
season with the company. He has
a background of televiSion, movies
and Little Theatre. He has played
in numerous off-BrOadWay shows
His part of the soldier-lOver in
Turtle" was extremely we'll done
although he played down his role
This is not criticism for the part
was meant to be that way. He
played it in a fashion that gave
the audience to believe that he
knew all along just what it was he
was after. Perhaps he was being
subtle in his lovers approach.
This is a production that is vel
worth the audiences attention. We
feel that the Garrett County Play
house has gotten off to a most au
spicious beginning. Gene Yell is
to be congratulated on his selec
ton of a fine group of plays anC
of an excellent cast. incidentally

BASE, Calf, Oct. Is (AP).-
In a soaring burst that turned
its wings white hot, the Kills
rocket plane streaked yester-
day to a speed record of 1920
miles an hour-about twice the
speed of a rifle bullet.
The experimental craft, de-
signed for a top speed of 1000
miles an hour, flew so swiftly
about six times the speed of
sound-that Pilot Joe Walker
had to put the flaps down to
slow the needle-noSed X-15.
Mr.. Walker, a pilot for the
National Space Agency, said
officials wanted the speed held
down to obtain more informa-
ton before an all-out speed
run next week.
The previous aircraft speed
record was 3,647 miles an hour
set last week in the same Kills
by Air Force Maj. Bob White.
en- route to an altitude record of
217,000 feet.
Mr.. Walkers entire flight
lasted 10 minutes yesterday.
He hit 1920 miles an hour in
a steep climb to 10000 feet
before gliding down for a
landing.

Ford Motor Co. and North
American Aviation suggested
yesterday that the Blue Scouts
two upper stages could be
launched from sp Kills at 160,-
600 feet and carry a payload Of
so to 125 pounds into orbit or
on a deep space probe.
The advantage, the firms
said. would be recovery of the
first two stages-the Kills and
its B-52 mother ship. This
would result in considerable
economy.
The firms said at a news con-
ference they could operate such
a system within nine months Of
a go-ahead. The cost: $3.50, 900.
