Appalachian
Dam Program
BY a Star staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 2 - A
resolution proposing a massive
Federal dam building program
along rivers in the Appalachian
region will be introduced in the
Maryland General Assembly by
State Senator Edward S. North
rop, Democrat of Montgomery.
Senator Northrop said his
resolution will urge Congress to
take immediate steps to get a
water supply and conservation
program under way,
The Montgomery Senator
said the purpose of bis proposal
is three-fold: To assure an ade-
quate water supply, provide
flood-control facilities and put
unemployed persons in the
economically hard-hit areas to
work.
While Senator Northrop'S
main interest is IN water for
the Washington area and the
unemployment problem in
Western Maryland, he said his
resolution will encompass riv-
ers in Pennsylvania, Maryland,
West Virginia and Virginia.
Most of the headwaters of
the streams which supply our
water are in the Appalachian
area" he said.
He said he is particularly in
tereSted in the Potomac and its
tributaries. which furnish water
for the Washington area and
sections Of Virginia; the Pa
tuxent River, which supplies
most Of the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commissions
customers in suburban Mary
land. and the SuSquehanna,
which will be the major source
Of water for the Baltimore area.
Unemployment in the Ap-
palachian area is of major con-
Germ to the States and to the
Federal Government" the Sen
ator said. 1--WE also are facing
the possibility of a serious water
supply problem in the not-too-
distant future. This program
would put people to work on
needed projects"

wise it has little value. Com
pute the cubage Of your home
by multiplying the length by
the width by the height of
each room and adding these
figures to determine the total
number Of cubic feet. Fans
are rated by the number of
cubic feet Of free air per
minute that they will dis
charge. In the northern tier
Of States, the fan should be
capable Of changing the air
in the house every Ia min
utes. In all other areas. one
change per minute is neces-
sary.
There are three principal
methods for installing an at
tic fan. 1t can be placed over
an opening boxed between
the ceiling joists. The room
side is covered with an auto
matte louver that remains
closed except when the fan is
operating. An attic hatch
cannot be used as this would
block access to the attic.
A method often used is to
build a plenum chamber in
the attic and install the fan
in one side Of this. The top
or another side panel can be
utilized as a door for access
to the attic
A third method is to place
the fan in a gable. This is a
practical method provided
all air leaks into the attic
are sealed and the only air
handled by the fan comes
through the openings from
the rooms below.
Once the air gets into the
attic, there must be ample
openings for it to get out.
A good average figure Is that
there must be one square foot
Of unobstructed opening for
every thousand cubic feet Of
fan capacity.

Attic Fons
BY HERMAN BAUM
Contributing Writer

I'VE must soon make a
decision about what we will
do to make our home more
comfortable this summer. We
would prefer central air con-
ditioning but the cost is very
high, as you know. We may
have to settle for a large
attic fan. We think that with
. little advice we could do
the installation ourselves.
What are your ideas on the
.subject?" Mrs. j. K. writes.
Answer - Today, a home
without air conditioning is
almost as primitive as a hill
side cave and you and I
should Immediately install
these systems in our homes
and emerge from the dark
agesl Perhaps you take a
more reserved view Of the
matter. but If I do not get
an air conditioner into my
.domicile before June, / am
going to find 1t mighty lone
some living alone.
An attic fan is a poor
country relation Of an air
conditioner. If it is suffi-
GENTLY large, it will make a
home more comfortable by
creating a breeze, but it does
not make a home cooler un-
less the outside air is at a
lower temperature than the
air in the house.
One big advantage that an
air conditioner has over a
fan is that it reduces the
humidity by removing water
from the air. In this manner
it eliminates the problem of
mildew that plaques so many
homes during the summer
months.
II you select a fan, you
must be certain that it is
sufficiently large to create
a movement of air that you
can feel as a breeze; other
