Sometime next month, the
more difficult journey up the
bay to Camp Roosevelt will be
attempted with stronger mo-
tors and additional fathers
aboard. The raft will be dis
assembled at the Boy Scout
camp and carried back to Mont
gomery County on trucks.

RIA Proposes Curb
On Rooming Houses

ital Planning Commission anc
the District Commissioners.
FILA said it thought reha-
bilitation standards written in
to the plan should rule out
continued rooming-house oper-
alton in family areas.
At a meeting of the Adams
Morgan Citizens Planning Com
mittee several weeks ago, Phil
A. Doyle. RIA executive direc-
tor said the agency was not
yet ready to give details of its
policy to deal with rooming
houses. He promised the agen-
cy's views would be explained
to the committee at a meeting
Monday.
The Adams-Morgan area is
roughly bounded by Sixteenth
street, Connecticut avenue
Florida avenue, Calvert street
and Columbia road NV. About
80 per cent Of renewal work tc
be done there will be through
rehabilitation, rather tn a n
clearance.
FHA's view on rooming
houses is reported to be crucial
for the project, since this
agency would be asked to pro-
vide financing aids for new
construction and rehabilitation
of homes.

Proposed Statewide

AS finally passed, the Commits
Sioners' Association resolution
said that teachers colleges,
should continue to be strength
ened so that the number of
qualified teachers will be in
creased and all persons desir-
ing to teach will receive the
necessary training"
Sees Area Benefits
The association asked that
construction Of branch colleges
begin Immediately. In addi-
ton to educational benefits,
the association said that the
branches, would benefit the
economy of the various areas,
and the entire State by pro-
viding the educated and there
fore easily trainable young
people which would attract
higher-Scaled industries.
The association also urged
Congress to provide financial
assistance for construction of
fallout shelters.
John S. Shriver, director of
the State fiscal research bu-
reau, told the commissioners
that a bill will be introduced
at the 1868 session of the Gen.
eral Assembly requiring all To-
calities to adopt a uniform
July June 80 fiscal year.
He said half of the counties
now operate on a calender
year for budget and tax pur-
poses, while the other half use
a July June 30 fiscal year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Girl Wins
All Check,
Keeps Steer

Mona Brown Of GAINESVILLE.
Nd. yesterday ended one Of
the most eventful "a hours of
her life. She celebrated her
18th birthday, won her first
All championship, pocketed
the most money she ever had
at one time, and got perhaps
the heaviest gift a girl ever
received for a birthday.
The gift was a 958-pound
steer, called Sir fluffy. He won
the championship for her and
got her a check for $2,011.80.
But how he turned out to
be a birthday gift is a longer
story.
1t all began Friday night
when the Montgomery All Beef
Club held it's annual judging
and sale. Nona's Sir fluffy, a
16-month-old Black Angus was
named best Of all breeds.
A Gaithersbur farmer who
is one of the fairs founders,
Herman Rabbit, bought Sir
fluffy at the record price of
$2.l0 a pound. Mona was given
the check for $2,011.80. At the
thought of Sir fluffy becoming
prime ribs of beef for some
body'S dining room platter, she
started to cry, however.
Mr.. Rabbit took a second
look at Mona. He then told her
to keep the check and asked
her to also please keep her
steer. He didn't even know it
was her birthday.
Mona, the daughter Of Rich
ard P. Brown, is a graduate of
PooleSville High School. Sir
Tuffy was one Of IL steers sold
at the auction.

Negroes OK
School Plan
In Virginia

RICHMOND, Aug. Is (AP)
The Virginia Teachers ASSo-
citation unanimously approved q
plan today to relocate and ed
ucate some 200 Prince Edward
County Negro school children
this fall if public schools are
not reopened at that time.
The plan was proposed to the
Negro teachers group by its
executive secretary, Dr.. J. Rup-
ert Picott.
Under the program, each
State VITA chapter will be asked
to take one or more of the
students, find them a home and
pay living expenses and tuition.
| DR.. Picott said there are 1913
local teachers associations in
Virginia. with a total member
ship of $500. Ten of the chap
tiers are at colleges or state
schools and the remainder in
cities and counties.
THE plan will not go into
operation until after the court
acts on September T." said DR..
Picott.
Federal District Judge Oren
r. Lewis said July 26 that if
Prince Edward County schools
aren't opened by September 7,
he will receive and consider or
ders offered to accomplish that
end.
DR.. Picott said if the schools
do reopen, well. fine. The
problem is solved. Just in case
they don't open on September
7, we are ready
Prince Edward closed its pub
lie schools in 1859 rather than
obey a Federal court order to
integrate its classroons. The
County's white students have
attended a system of private
schools since that time. Negro
school age children-there are
LOO of them-have gone with
out formal education.

Nine Montgomery County
teen-agers plan to embark to-
morrow on an adventure which
should do something to ease the
concern Of New Frontiersmer
over the fitness of the Nations
youth.
They are readying for a two
phase excursion to Camp Theo-
lore Roosevelt, near Chesapeake
Beach, Md, which would take
little more than an hour and a
half by car.
But, being in no hurry, they
are taking the long route-116
miles by water. They hope to
cover the distance in two trips
on a homemade raft.
Eight of the youthful adven-
turers, ranging in age from IA
to 16, are members of the Ex-
plorer Scout post at Ashton,
Md. Accompanying them will
be John johnson, an 18-year-
old Montgomery Junior College
freshman. and Walter S. Atwill,
father of one of the crew men,
berS.
Another father may join be-
fore embarkation.
Parents Help
Aided by Mr.. Atwill and sew
eral other industrious parents,
the youths have been working
on the raft for the last six
week. Their assembly plant was
in the back yard of the Allan
wood home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Nygard, whose son Fred
is captain Of the expedition.
Mr.. Nygard, a building con-
tractor, drew up the original
plans for the raft, but comedies
that several neighborhood en-
gineers put their 2 cents worth
in also"
Actual construction of the
raft, however, was done by the
Explorers. They financed the
project by selling doughnuts in
the neighborhood.
The craft relies on two long
pontoonS, each composed OF
eight 55-gallon drums, to keer
it afloat. A IA - by 24-foot
wooden framework encloses the
drums, and a 3-foot-high rail-
ing surrounds the plywood deck
An old nylon parachute was
converted to a sail. But the
voyagers will take along two
gasoline motors to use in case
of uncooperative winds during
the first cruise from the Prince
Georges Marina at Bladensburg
to Point Lookout, where the
Potomac River empties into
Chesapeake Bay.
The diSmantled raft was
transported yesterday to Bla-
densburg. where the Explorers
reasSembled it. They slated a
trial run on the AnacoStia River
for today.
Each crew member will be
allowed to carry personal sup
plies weighing not more than
Is pounds. In addition, they
will be equipped with a char

owned by the A. & H. Holding
Co.
The builders told the board
that the square-foot cost of
construction would make the
building the most expensive in
RoSSlyn."
Planning Director Richard E
Arms warned that the land in
volved might be needed for
Route 66 connections through
Rosslyn if the Three Sisters
Bridge is not built.
Mr.. Arms noted that the
State has said it does not know
and will not know for some
time what the final course for
Rosslyn will be.
Wilt Raps IndeciSiOn
Board Chairman Ernest D
Wilt asserted: Il feel there's
some obligation on the part Of
the Federal and State Govern
mentS to make up their minds
and get on with it"
Capt. R. w. Curtis of the
Arlingtonians for Preservation
of the Palisades continued the
Route Sc discussion with re-
quest that the county board
hold a separate hearing on the
planned eight-lane highway
next month.
Capt. Curtis said the board
might block construction Of the
highway if it could show that
the road would not be in the
public interest.

they didn't like the idea Of
Route Sc coming through Ar
lington.
1T might well be an exercise
in futility to hold another
hearing on this thing" Mr..
Wilt commented.
Board member Thomas Rich
ards said 1t seems to me that
highways are going to kill us. "
He suggested that chronological
advances in rapid tranSporta-
ton might make eight-lane
highways as obsolete as canals.
Hearing Decision Delayed
A decision on whether to hold
a hearing was deferred for a
week to enable Mr.. Wilt to get
further information on the
status of Route Sc from high
way officials in Richmond.
Separately. the board voiced
its unanimous opposition to an
application to the State Corpo-
ration Commission by George
Lincoln Rockwell's American
Nazi Party for a State charter
of incorporation, using only the
organizations initials.
In another action, the board
appointed Mr.. Richards as an
alternate of the National Capt.
tai Regional Planning Council.
The vacancy was created when
B. Allen Lilywhite was re-
placed on the Arlington Plan
ming Commission.
The board also awarded a
construction contract for a new
fire station at Halls Hill to the

submitted a low bid of

OCEAN CITY, Md, Aug. Is
The Maryland County Com
miSsioners Association today
urged construction of Univer-
sity Of Maryland branches over
the State.
Only two of the counties
represented at a convention
here opposed the resolution.
Their opposition was not in
principle but they thought ii
should have further study.
One of them was Prince
Georges County in which the
present University is located at
College Park.
Mrs. Stella Werner, a men,
Der Of the Montgomery County
Council, spoke in favor of the
resolution during a brief dis
cuSsion. Mrs. Werner said loca-
ton of branches over the State
would be especially helpful to
the poorer counties which can
not afford their own communi-
ty colleges.
CrOwding Feared
Proposed by former ASSocia-
ton President H. T. Slaughter
Of Talbot County, the reSolu-
ton said that the College Park
campus will reach its maximum
capacity within a few years and
that building branches within
committing distance would
mean additional thousands of
Maryland high school grad
yates could go to college.
The association revised some
of the language of the resolu-
ton so it would not conflict
with recommendations of the
Legislative committee which
has suggested turning the five
State teachers colleges into
four-year liberal arts institu-
tons. AS originally introduced
by Mr.. Slaughter, the resolu-
ton would have opposed such
a move on the grounds that it
would hurt teacher training.
