for a place when I found this
one. So far as l know, there
are still places for sale every
where in this county"
Others who said they would
welcome the dam for its long
range benefits include 20-year
resident Mrs, Elmo Jamison and
16-year Senecan Mrs. Martin F.
Meek.
Mrs. JamisOn, who rents
boat space along the creek,
claims that in midsummer
boats can get no more than
a mile up the river "befOre
their hulls are knocked to
pieces in the low water"
"The game commission peo-
pie have told US the water gets
so hot it's killing the fish,"
Although she'll be 70 years
old when the dam comes in,
Mrs. Jamison says when you
don't have water, you're out of
everything. It's foolish to stand
in the way of progress"
Mrs. Meek shares her views
and feels the areas historic
sites are over-rated.
MANY of these historical
spots are covered up by brush,
in neglect. History is one thing,
but eyesore and a mosquito
breeder is another. Few people
can get up to see these places
anyhow, except with a pack
horse or bicycle" she COM
mented.
Seneca's needs, she said, are
"just drop in the bucket COM
pared with the hundreds of
thousands of people who will
need water in the future"
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1962-06-14

The elder Mrs. Cornell, who
says she doesn't expect to live
long enough to see the dam if it
does come in, thinks it will be
"the worst thing that ever hap.
pened."
1T will flood thousands of
acres in this community and
others, and l don't think we
actually need it."
Mrs. Connell and her husband
reared seven children in 81
years in the old c G. o Com
pany House on a hill above
Seneca before moving into town
when it was torn down.
Other longtime Seneca resi-
dents are less pessimistic about
the dam than Mrs. Connell. Said
J. M, Savage, who runs a gro
Gerry Stofe-reStaurant'
water is the most essential
thing in life. Far be it from
me to deprive people of it when
it will be needed"
He said his principal concern
is getting rid of stagnant water
in the creek, stilled by lack of
current in dry spells.
I'VE had a dead hog out there
floating around for three weeks
not long ago." he recalled.
That, plus about $50 dead fish
drying up down there at the
aqueduct certainly didn't make
this place any nature-lover's
paradise"
Water In the creek is in
creasingly polluted, Savage
said, land If Justice Douglas
thinks the new dam will Gre

the land they've placed under
water for these dams can
never be salvaged,"
TITS a shame to spoil this
beautiful river" he commented.
Il guess I've walked every inch
of it, know every Indian burial
ground in these parts. The dam
will ruin the canal and all the
historical points along it."
Il just don't see why they
have to build a big dam when a
series of small ones would do as
WELL" Yinger added. He said
the large dam would prove a
major threat in the event of
nuclear attack, when a single
blast could drop flood waters
down the river to inundate the
centre northwest section of
Washington"
Frankly skeptical about the
prospects of the dams construc-
ton is Mrs. Catherine STAN
comb, a lifelong resident of
Seneca, who says she cant
visualize such a thing happen
ing around here"
Most of the people around
here really don't think it will go
through, either" she confided.
A divorce and mother of
four, Mrs. Stancomb said,
though, that If the dam is built
she and her youngsters will
move somewhere between here
and Rockville, just so we can
stay as close to the water as
possible - we've got it in our
blood"
She and her sister-in-law,
Mrs. William COnneIl, run Con-
nelPs Inn by the side of the
canal lock which separates
Seneca from the river. The
restaurant has been in the
family for 25 years, and her
mother, Mrs. Samuel Sydney
COnnell, Is the widow Of a
former level walker on the
canal.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1962-06-14

about it-that the Congress
simply won't fork over a half
million bucks for the cost of a
dam so close to Washington"
Sample disclosed.
We've been here Is years,
and we love this spot on the
Potomac" he added. "By no
stretch of the imagination do !
want to see it go under water,
despite what anyone says"
Sample says he has spent "a
princely sum" on renovating
the old Seneca Inn to his pres
ent hotel, and maintains that
the entire Seneca community
has picked up considerably in
recent years.
Rather than put the dam at
Seneca, he feels, the Army En-
gineers should build it up in the
Potomac's headwaters," where
it's not so populated"
He criticized the Engineers
proposal to use 80 per cent of
the reservoirs water to flush
sewage regularly from the
bottom Of the Potomac out
side Washington.
"In my opinion, any nation
which can put a man into orbit
should certainly be able to fig
ure out some way to clean up
sewage from a river without
building a 40-mile-long dam,"
Sample said.
Another longtime resident,
the self-styled mayor of
Seneca" Roy Lee Yinger, is just
as loathe as Sample to see the
dam go up there, but is more
convinced than his fellow towns
man that it will be built.
People up here are apathetic
about it," Yinger said. Nobody
seems to care, except one or
two individuals who hope to
capitalize on their holdings, and
they look on it with horror"
Yinger, who is the town his
torian and one.time Seneca cor.
respondent for the Sentinel,
feels that terrific money and
pressure" will be brought to
bear on the Congress by East
ern Shore electrical co-opera.
tives who hope the dam will
provide them additional water
power.
II hate to contemplate 1t, but
that dam will be built" he said.
CONGRESSES decision will be in.
fluenced by lots and lots of
money from the co-ops who
want to cool their dynamos
down there"
With the advent of nuclear
power, however, Yinger
pointed out, big electrical
plants will be ObsOlete-"and

Council Puts
Seneca Stand
Off for Now

County Council members
last week decided to put off
taking any stand on the con-
troversial Corps of Engi-
neers proposal to build a
high dam on the Potomac
River at Seneca, until it has
time to null over all aspects
of the project.
It's position on the Seneca
dam will be delayed along with
views on the entire Main Stem
Potomac River Basin proposal
set forth by the Engineers after
a six-year study.
Council president David L.
Cahoon said that while the coun-
ty heads know long-range plan
ming for floor control and
future water needs is necessary,
and that they endorse the
study's detectives, they aren't
ready yet to come out for or
against the dam.
In a letter to the Army's
District Engineer, CahoOn
pointed out that Montgomery
County would receive the
greatest impact" of construc.
ton of the proposed main
stemdam at Seneca, since it
Is the most heavily populated
county in the area.
He also asked that II Con.
gress adopts the recommended
plan county officials be allowed
some say in developing plans
for use of the reservoir so that
"such use will be consistent
with local land development
policies"
Cahoon's reference was to
National Park Service estimates
that recreational facilities to be
built around Seneca reservoir
could attract as many as rs
million visitors annually by the
year 2010, with more than so
per cent of the nations popula.
ton living within a 500-mile
radius of the site.
