BLACKWATER F ALLS
STATE PARK. w. Va, Sept. 20.
More than 2 million tons Of
silt and mud a year are carried
by the Potomac River past
Washington. a United States
Geological Survey official said
yesterday.
John w. Wark, project chief
of the Surveys Water Quality
Branch, said at a meeting of
the Potomac River Commission
here that this sediment in the
river creates several problems.
He said, for example, that
the U. S. Corp Of Engineers has
to spend an average of 81 mil
lion a year dredging the naviga-
ton channel in the lower Po-
tomac because Of the annual
deposit of huge quantities Of
mud.
Mr.. Wark said the presence
of mud in the river also in
creases the cost of purifying
water drawn from the Potomac
for drinking purposes.
In addition, he said, the SUBJ
stantial volume of silt in the
river also reduces the recrea-
tional value Of the Potomac.
Suburbs Blamed
Mr.. Wark said a study by
the @ eological Survey has
shown that more mud is washed
into the Potomac River system
from the Washington suburbs
than any other area in the
Potomac Basin.
He explained that some sec
tions Of land in Metropolitan
Washington are often stripped
OF trees and other protective
vegetation during construction
Of housing and other develop
He added that the land
often is left bare for long
periods of time during the
heavy rainfall season.
Sediment yield from areas
in which 100 per cent of the
land is unprotected because of
practices has been
estimated to be as high as 100
tons per acre while the area is
undergoing urbanization." Mr..
Wark said.

EXCLUSIVELY YOURS
Tavern Ghosts
Watch Over Ball

when President John
Adams dined at the City
Tavern in Georgetown on
June 6, 1900, he had no notion
of what he was starting.
He could not foresee that
his presence and that Of his
illustrious successor Thomas
jefferson on July 4, 1903,
would add such historical
worth to this particular stop
on the Baltimore-Alexandria
stage coach line-that $50
years later the building would
be saved. Better than that, it
would be restored. More i'm
portant Of all, it would be-
come once again a beehive of
Georgetown activity.
The repolished, remani-
cured and tastefully deco
rated City Tavern celebrated
its opening as a private club
last night after 100 years of
ignominous obscurity.
AT A MEMBERS ONLY
ball, it quivered with the ex-
element of its first evening
levee as it exposed its early
18th century charms on three
floors and a meZzanine. How
would a dance there work?
Would there be enough ac-
cessible places to sit when
leaving the dance floor?
Would anyone use the Down
stairs taproom, the upstairs
drawing rooms. card rooms,
halfway up the stairs nook
and so forth? These we're the
questions in the minds of
those who had invested in the
new venture.
The answer to all the ques-
tions was-yeS.
But one couldn't help think
ing that the ballroom (the
main dining room) with its
lovely green-silver Chinese
Chippendale wallpaper is a
far more elegant setting to-
day than it was for Adams
or jefferson.
Or perhaps they broke
, bread in what is now the
private dining room on the
second floor-a large room
with lovely crystal chande-
liers, pale yellow walls, gold
silk fringed draperies over its
multi-paned windows. and a
handsome big breakfront
filled with fine Lowestoft
china. The latter was loaned
for display there by a member
who kept back for herself
only the key to its locked
glass doors.
1t is doubtful that a back
ground so appropriate for the
ballgowns of the feminine
sex existed in a mems meet

1t does not. I am sure, lesem-

Church Mamma

DR.. George M. Docherty, min
lister of New York Avenue Pres
byterian Church, found his first
meeting as moderator of the
Washington City Presbytery
something like a baptism ot
fire"
But he met with aplomb the
difficult task of moving the
gathering through a long
docket on time without unduly
stopping debate.
One of the stumbling blocks
arose when the question OF
when a church should be named
came up. According to Presby-
terian law a church cannot
take a name officially until
preSbytery approves it's selec-
ton. This presents practical
difficulties, as the Rev. Jack H.
BoelenS, minister of Wheaton
Presbyterian Church, pointed
out.
Unless a name Is given
quickly. you will suddenly find
the community around the
church has given it a name, "
Mr.. Boelens said. This is the
eason a committee acts
promptly"
DR.. C. Russell Stroup, imme-
diate past moderator of pres
bytery, then observed, What
concerns me is that if this prac-
tice is followed, hospitals will
be naming our children before
we have a chance and it is
probable it will be embarrass-
ing to all of U.s."

elder of the Presbyterian Chur,
Today, more than a half
century later, j. Austin Latimer
is still an elder in the Presby-
terian Church. He is now a
member of Sixth Presbyterian
Church of the United Presby-
terian Church, U. S. A.
But of the many things the
prominent Washington attor-
ney has accomplished in his
denominational work, he re-
CARDS the formation of that
small church in Monagan Mill
and of another congregation,
WllllSton IS. c. Presbyterian
Church in 1921, as among his
greatest SatisfactionS.
ITO know that these little
churches have prospered and
grown into strong congrega-
tionS. with good buildings and
full-time pastorates, is one of
the most gratifying experiences
OF my Christian life," Mr.. Lat
inner asserted.
Represents ID. G..
He has had the further sat-
1sfaction of watching other i'm
portant Presbyterian groups
grow from small origins. In
1948 he was sent to Chicago as
the sole Washington City Pres
bytery representative to take
part in forming the National
Council of Presbyterian Men.
So successful has been this
venture that three area meet
1ngS, Zach attracting 1000 or
more delegates, are held an
nually.
Mr.. Latimer was instrument
tai in bringing into existence
the presbytery's Council OF
United Presbyterian Men in
1948, and served as its first
president. He has also been
president of the Baltimore (noW
CheSapeake) Synod Council of
Presbyterian Men.
He recalls the 1945 general
assembly at Minneapolis, Mimi,
where three important church
movements had their incep-
tionS. One was recognition of
the need for a church-wideI
publication. Presbyterian Life,
regarded as a top denomina-
tional publication, eventually
came into being as a result of
this early impetus. Another was
the need for a strong layman's
organization, brought to frui-
ton in 1948 as noted above.
The third was the creation of
a Ministerial Relations depart
ment, now a basic part of the
denominations structure.
Published Papers
The popular Presbyterian
layman came to Washington in
1881 as executive secretary to
the newly elected Senator
James F. Byrnes of South Caro-
lima. He left a similar post with
South Carolina Gov. John G.
Richards to come here. Before
that he owned and published
three weekly newspapers in his
native State.
Both the Presbyterian church
and the Presbyterian Men
movement have bright futures
in the Washington area, Mr..
Latimer believes. He also thinks
laymen should take a more Wig
orous role in church activities
at all levels.
On Tuesday this week tribute
was paid to Mr.. Latimer for
his many contributions to the
church. He was honored with
the Wilbur LaRoe Memorial
Award as the top Presbyterian
layman for 1861 in the pres
bytery. Jack S. Kalapos, pres
ident of the group and award
winner in 1859, presented the
