"There hasn't been anything
like it since the w incident"
said Howard Cook, public infor-

referring to the flood of in

preparedness message last
week.

Bradley Blvd.
Construction
To Be Ended

There viii be ju b lila 10 n
Astounding in B e t h e S d a and
points west late this month
with the end of two years of
ira ffic-tangling construction
work on Bradley blvd.
The Maryland Roads Com
mission this week announced
that final paving of the busy
thoroughfare should be fin
ished within the month, prob
ably within two weeks.
One side of the road has al
ready been paved for most of
the distance, according to l.. E.
McCarl, road commission chief
of construction, and, with work
progressing on the rest of the
highway, he said he could see
no reason" why it shouldn't be
open in about two weeks.
Speculation as to how opti-
mistic McCarls prediction is
was voiced by area merchants
who, while hoping his promise
comes true, still have their
fingers crossed about 1t.
Some sort of celebration will
be in order, they agreed, IL con-
struction is mpleted on
schedule.

The Montgomery County cen
ter will also provide area resi-
dents with a listing of local shell
ter contractors and building
supply firms, as well as firms
offering reasonably-priced radio
active fallout detectors.
Among the county's present
standby Civil Defense facilities
listed by Cook are equipment
for four army hospitals capable
of accommodating 200 casual
ties at Laytonsville, Damascus,
Poolesville and Gaithersburg
and six forward-treatment CEN
ters in elementary, junior and
senior high schools throughout
the county.
The CD official urged county
residents to get first-aid train
ing which would come in handy
following an attack. At pres
ent, he said, there are mot
many" persons who have had
any CD preparedness instruc
ton.

Beall May Run For
Governor in 1862

Senator ]. Glenn Beall may
throw his hat into the ring as
a candidate for the Maryland
governorship next year, it was
reported this week.
A press dispatch from Balti-
more quoted Beall as admitting
he has been approached by
State Republican leaders to run
for the office. The Senator
said, however, he has not given
his boosters a firm reply, since
there is question as to
whether I could best serve
Maryland as a member of the
Senate or as its governor"
Beall disclosed he plans to
ira vel throughout the S a e
after Congress adjourns to
learn what Marylanders feel
are their major needs of the
future. He indicated he will, at
the same time, try to determine
how he can best serve them.
Although former Gov. Theo-
dore r. McKeldin has not yet
filed his anticipated bid to re-
turn to the State House, he is
the only other major Republi-
can candidate on the horizon.
Political circles anticipate, how
ever, arriving at a choice for
their nominee without a pri-
mary battle between more than
one candidate.

quiries received from area resi-
dents after President Kennedy's
preparedness message last
week.
Calls to the center have in
creased from less than a hand
full a day to half a hundred, he
said, adding he has no indica-
ton how long stepped-up pub
lie interest in air raid shelters
and survival plans will last.
Best advice he can give his
callers now is to build a shell
ter, stock it well, and if that
siren goes off, get down below
and fast" Cook said.
Cook is one CD official who
feels the populace's best
chances for survival in the
event of nuclear attack lie in
having a fully-equipped fallout
shelter. Mass evacuation, he
feels, is impractical, because at
tack would come too suddenly
for large numbers of people to
flee from target areas.
He quoted a Johns Hopkins
University authority as saying
attempts at mass evacuation
would merely redistribute the
carcasses."
Support for Cooks advocacy
of shelters has been echoed by
number of county officials,
including County Council Pres
ident William F. Hickey, who
says survival is of prime inn
portance. Every home should
have a shelter"
President Kennedy in his mes
sage to the nation last week
strongly urged shelter construc-
ton upon every homeowner
as "the very least you can do
for yourselves and your famil-
les. You owe it to them"
The likelihood Of as much as
an hours advance notice of an
enemy attack is remote, Cook

Fire Department
Carnival Opens
Monday Night

It's carnival time again in
Rockville. One of Montgomery
County's biggest events-the
Rockville Volunteer Fire De-
partment Carnival-opens Mon
day night for a gala 12-night
run.
Carnival grounds on Rockville
pike will be open each evening
for the games, rides, conces-
sions and other fun which make
carnival time "fun time" for
old and young alike. Dancing
and floor shows will be fea-
tured nightly.
Rockville's carnival is the
largest in the area and the only
one staged in permanent build.
ings on the departments own
carnival grounds. The dance
hall alone, where the floor
shows and well-known bands
are presented for dancing, con-
taii1s 2,100 feet of elbow room.
In its past "a seasons, the car
rival has been so successful
that 1t Is the biggest source of
revenue for the Department.
Largely because of the carnival,
Rockville residents--u n like
those other urbanized parts of
the county-pay no fire tax. Yet
area residents receive, at a mo-
ment's notice, fire and rescue
service of five bumpers. a res
cue squad truck, and two am.
balances with qualified and
trained personnel. Fire depart.
ment members on their own
time, take courses in first aid
and intricate fire service from
the American Red Cross and
University of Maryland Fire es-
tension Service.
Rockvillites and people from
as far away as West Virginia,
flock to the carnival mainly 10
have a good time. For a 20.cent
admission, they get a chance az
a big grounds prize given night
ly and access to the many game
stands, amusement rides, floor
show, dance pavilion and re
freshment stands.
Most popular attractions are
the two bingo stands and the
automobile give Always. Out
standing prizes are awarded at
the bingo stands and this year
three automobiles, shiny and
new, will be given away. In
1885, county residents, in q spe-
cial referendum, gave the Fire
Department and other non
profit community and church
groups the right to hold raff1es
and bingo games.
The rides are operated by a
commercial firm. Everything
else is staged or stated by the
IS volunteer firemen and their
families, plus friends OF the de-
partment who donate their
time.
All priz es including the
automobiles, and the items like
vacuum cleaners and record
players as grounds prizes-are
bought by the Department.
Nothing is donated except the
time and work of the volun-
teers.
The carnival caters TO the
family trade. Only soft drinks
are SOld, ana any lnciplent
rowdyism is discouraged by the
police and the firemen them
selves. The closest thing to
big" trouble the carnival has
ever had was tho escape OF a
mouse from the "guess-whlch-
hole" mouse game. This game
Is no longer used.
This 25th annual carnival
August z to 10 at the Rockville
VFD carnival grounds on Route
355 Rockville Pike at Richard
Montgomery dr., in Rockville,
promises to be one of the best
ever put on.

The food we eat probably
has more influence on our
health than any other one
factor. For this reason it
also affects our appearance,
achievement and happiness.
Most eveyone today knows
what the essential foods are,
but many forget the small
ways in which one can build
up vitamin and mineral and
protein intake. For instance,
as a general rule the great
est concentration of vitaminS
in fruits and vegetables is
in the skin and Immediately

Therefore. whenever FEAST

SEAMS TO ME
By PATRICIA SCOTT
Fitting Partially Completed Dress Important

Fitting a dress accurately
when it is partially completed
is very important. Even il
you have altered your pat
tern. you'll find that adjust
mentS must still be made
since fabric molds tc the
figure better and falls diff
fferently than paper. Here
are a few things to check
when you reach the fitting
stage.
Bodice: Put bodice on and
close faStenings accurately.
Check size of neckline and
slope of shoulder seam. Lift
the outer edge of shoulder
seam and see if it improves
the set of the blouse. Newt
check darts and other de-
tails. Pin seams and darts
that must be changed. Check
side seams. Fit them snugly
at waiStline, but allow
enough ease through the
bust. Check armscye (arm-
hole) seam and avoid any
altering that will change pos
ition on size.
If you must adjust. place
a row of pins where arm
Scye stitching line should be.
Remove bodice, fit pattern
to armhole, matching stitch
ing line of pattern over pin
line. Recut arrnhole along
pattern cutting lint to retain
original shape. Basic sleeves
in and try on bodice to check
armScye seam.
Now, check waistline, tie
ing a cord snugly around
waist. If waiStline seam is
off, place a row of pins or
chalk mark along cord. For a
princess line dress, alter
darts and seam lines so waist
line falls in place. The widest
part of the double-pointed
Evening star., 1961-08-28

Make two small darts at back
of neck taking in excess full
ness. 3-Take shoulder seam
in a bit at neck edge and
taper back to normal Shoul-
der seam. The last method
is only a last resort. The
first two are preferable.
Skirt: BaSte skirt to bodice.
Try on and close placket &C
curately. Adjust darts and
seams, always working on
front and back first, then
side seams. The skirt should
fit easily at hipline. If too
tight, it will wrinkle across
the abdomen after you sit
down, and will make you
look much heavier. Sit down
to see if you allowed enough
ease.
If skirt draws across alb
domen and hips, it's too
tight. If you have a sway
back and didn't adjust the
pattern, there will be a fold
at the center back about 3
inches below waistline. Lift
center back of skirt until fold
disappears and pin to blouse
forming a new waiStline
seam. Lift so that the wild
est part is at center back
tapering to the original
waistline at side seams.
ArmhOIe: If too tight, trim
off a little at lower curve
between front and back
notches. Trim off no more
than 14-inch at underarm
seam and taper to nothing
at notches.

as possible and save any
water you must pour off for
future soups and sauces, be-
cause this water is full of
health.
Casserole dishes have
many values. In the first
place these can be delicious.
They also can be most nu-
tritious and they are COM
paratively inexpensive. They
also cut down on work since
they are almost a meal in
themselves. They need not
be calorie-high.
Wheat Germ
If you are watching your
weight or blood cholesterol,
use fat-free, powdered milk in
the sauce rather than cream
or whole milk. You can zoom
the health value of your cas-
Serole by substituting wheat
germ for the usual bread
crumb topping.
Wheat germ, the most val
liable part of the wheat, can
be used in breading meats
and poultry. 1t also can be

substituted for one-third of
the quantity of flour called

Remember the cheaper cuts
of meat have just as much
health value as the more ex-
pensive ones. They are ex-
tremely good if cooked long
enough in moist heat and are
well seasoned with herbs, and
so forth.
The atmosphere in which
we eat has much to do with
our appetite and digestion.
The evening meal should not
be a time for problems but for
family fun together. Flowers
on the table and attractive
