FREDERICK, Md, June S.
A Frederick County official
said last night that construc-
ton Of q major dam on the
Monocacy River will be neces-
sary to insure an adequate
water supply for the area.
Herbert M. Bloom warned
that "the total water require
ments necessary to sustain and
foster Frederick County life
and economy viii not be avail
able In the future unless action
is undertaken to store addi-
tional quantities and release
supplemental water as re-
quired."
Mr.. Bloom, executive engi-
neer Of the Frederick County
Metropolitan District and San
itary Commission, announced
that this water and sewer
agency supports construction Of
the recommended dam on the
Monocacy near Keysville, Md.

sewage dilution, we won't get

without an ample supply Of
water.
This was the strongest in
dorSement given construction
Of any recommended dam since
the Corps Of Engineers hear
ings began last week.
However. most Of the wit
nesses at the hearing at the
North Frederick Elementary
School opposed construction of
major reservoirs on the Mo-
nocacy or on the main stem of
the Potomac at Seneca, Md.
George Grier Of Westmin-
Ster, read a letter at the meet
ing from the Carroll County
Board Of Commissioners oppos-
ing construction Of a large
reservoir on the Monocacy be-
cause Of what the board said
was a lack Of detailed informa-
ton on the effect the dam
would have on the area.
Thomas Fisher of Boyds,. one
Of several speakers who ex-
pressed opposition to large
dams, said that If the proposed
reservoirs attracted as many
tourists as the Potomac Basin
study predicted, Ocean City
and other resorts would "sue
the Corps Of Engineers for

Mr.. Bloom said that the
Frederick County Metropoli-
tan District and Sanitary Com
mission is not insensitive to
the feelings and emotions of
those individuals who stand to
lose their land and homes If
the Monocacy dam becomes a
reality.

Many large Railways serve
no useful purpose other than

by building a closet on either

A True Story Of An
Intelligent Home Buyer
BY NAUM P. EISENSTADT, Pres.
GOLDEN SEAL BUILDERS, Inc.

How should an enlightened
person go about finding the
best buy in a home for his
family? I have been asked this
question hundreds of times.
Here is a true story of how
one smart executive solved
this problem.
Mr.. Stanley Walters, Prod
uct Area Director of the Aero
space Division, Martin Mari
eta Corp, recently trans
ferred to this area from the
West Coast. He wanted a home
with individuality, spacious
ness, modern conveniences,
quality-built in a distinctive
community. He was prepared
to pay a reasonable price, but
he wanted to make sure he
got his moneys worth. He
went about finding a new
home in a business-like way.
Mr.. Walters spent two full
weeks making a thorough sur
vey of available houses. He
visited over rs better-built
homes in the Bethesda Chevy
Chase-Silver Spring areas. He
devoted a separate page in a
good-sized notebook to record
the basic characteristics and
outstanding features of each
house visited. Then he wired
for Mrs. Walters to plane here.
Together they spent another
10 days, morning til night.
visiting each Of the same rs
houses. Mrs. Walters kept sep
arate notes on each home
seen and every evening they
compared notes, reviewed OBJ
servations and eliminated the
less attractive offerings.
"Mr. E." said Mr.. Walters on
his third visit to our sample
home in lovely Woodside For

est, I'VE have thoroughly ex-
amined rs different houses in
this area and we are convinced
that this home your company
has built on Wildwood Road
offers the best buy in town."
To make a long story short,
the Walters bought the home
and moved into 1t just before
Christmas. Now, three months
later, they are just as happy
about their choice and the way
they went about making 1t.
OF course, we are justly
proud that this intelligent
couple chose one Of our Gus
tom-built Golden Seal Homes
after such a thorough inspec-
ton of new homes offered in
the area. 1t is a gratifying tes-
timonial to the value we en-
deavor to offer in materials.
workmanship and design. We
sincerely hope the Walters
experience will enlighten and
guide other serious house
hunters.

Discard Excess Furniture

up some Of its excess space
to the living room, kitchen
or perhaps to a small sewing
room, linen room or work
room.
In one home the dining
room was divided in half with
lowered doors hitched to
the ceiling, and the extra
space used for shelf storage
of linens, glasses, china and
silver.
Children's rooms may be
made more unitarian so that
they and their toys will not
spread over the house. A
properly planned cabinet and
bookcase arrangement built
on one wall, to the ceiling,
will take care of small fry
through their teen years.
