1T was a fine thing the doc
tors did"
Mrs. v. wanted the operation
because she had aches and
cramps and had enough chill
dren." Despite the family's low
income of $100 a month it was
hard to persuade her husband
they should stop at six chill
dren, she said.
He told me women that were
operated on were jumpy and
nervous. I told him I'd leave
him if he didn't sign the paper.
He got around to it finally"
she said.
"The operation was per-
formed in the hospital last
April. Mrs. v. told the reporter.
II had my appendix out, too"
II and my husband are
happy about it now. I had to
go back a week later to get the
stitches taken out and month
later for a checkup. That's ALL"
The sixth woman, Mrs. NJ,

dren followed.
When she became pregnant
for the seventh time, in the
fall of 1860, Mrs. S and her
husband went to the new Ma
ternity Clinic. They had heard
that the county's doctors were
offering maternity care and
family planning advice at al
most no cost.
One of the doctors told her
it would be a good idea to
have the operation. Doctors
say patients should make the
initial request) Mr.. and
Mrs. S went home and dis
cusSed it. On their second visit
to the clinic a month later
they signed a paper requesting
the operation. 1t was performed
three days after the seventh
child was born at Fauquier
County Hospital in January,
1861.
Now she has more time for
the children. Mrs. S said, as
the youngsters chased from
room to room in the old wooden
farmhouse.
Il can pay more attention to
them. I can get out and play
with them. She spoke earnest
ly, almost eagerly, of her ex-
perience.

THE EXPERIENCE WITH

THE EXPERIENCE WITH
the Fiat caused us to con-
centrate on the next few cars
that crossed our path. Sure
enough. The thing apparently
is endemic. It seemed that
practically every other car
we encountered was labeled
with reading matter of some
kind.
One legend spanning the.
entire rear bumper Of an
elderly Plymouth apparently
had q religious motivation. It
asked If we were ready to
meet our Maker. We felt that,
traffic being what 1t is these
days, it would be a good idea
if we were ready and passed
on to the next car ahead.
This vehicle bore the num-
bered sticker of a Federal
agency in town but also some
crudely scissored red reflect
ing tape indicating that
someone named 'Buzzie"
was enamored Of someone
else named "Jeanie."
In the next half hour we
encountered six universities,
three naval stations, six
Army installations, all sorts
of National Airport employees,
a round dozen Government
agencies within a 50-mile
span (no CIA stickers,
thought and various patrons
of insurance firms and the
American Automobile ASso-
citation.
We then directed our at
tention to a few trailer trucks
and discovered a veritable
treasure trove Of informa-
ton and advice. There were
signs beyond number indi-
eating that one might pass
on the left with safety
Though this is open to ques-
tom but that death awaited
on the right hand side.
This, of course, was not
counting the little endear-
ments that have been Scrawl-
ed or printed with fingers in
the accumulated dust on the
back ends of trucks. These
are extra.

Should a student be required
to flex his muscles well enough
to earn a B in physical educa-
ton in order to make the
honor roll?
A majority Of the Montgom-
cry County Board of Education
decided last night that Drawn
power had its place along with
brain power and voted 4-2
against a motion to delete ply
sical education from the sub
jects considered in selecting
students for honor rolls.
The suggestion for removing
physical education from the list
was made two weeks ago by DR..
Harold F. Breimyer, who
maintained that honor rolls
should be based only on intel
lectual achievement, because
some superior students might
lack the coordination neces-
sary for a high grade in sports
minded courses.
Crescent Bride, supervisor Of
physical education, said at the
meeting that any student, "by
participation, effort and will
ingness," can earn a B in the
subject, even if he lacks natural
ability.

years described her reaction in
the same frank way, using al
most the same words to tell
her thankfulness for the opera
ton.
I've felt better in the last
two years than since I was
married." said the woman.
Mrs. G, whose husband makes
$3.50 a month as a farm la
borer.

pregnancy" she said. Il went
to the clinic six months before
the last girl was born and ask
ed the doctor to operate on
me-"
Three days after the birth,
the operation was performed,
she added.
Mrs. L, another who had the
operation, "just didn't want
any more kids" She and her
husband went to the clinic
after their sixth child was
born, she said, and asked for
the operation. I'VE signed the
paper on Monday. On Tues
day he (the doctor) worked on
me-"
I'VE got no regrets. My sis
ter had the operation too," she
volunteered.
The sister was glad she had
been sterilized. 1T was the
right thing to do," she said.

WE CAME TO THE con-
clusion that this poisoning
Of data on the bumpers, rear
chassis and back windows Of
cars and trucks is the prod
uct of a growing national
trait. This is the national
compulsion, one supposes,
that requires small Amer
ican boys to write their
names in wet concrete. When
they get older, as it was with
the World War II GI's, ap-
parently the same compul-
sion drives the American
male to write his name, or
that Of someone named Kill
roy, in public places.
It is, we felt, a mere ex-
tension of this fetish to
festoon the back of an auto
mobile with job location,
elma mater, insurance affili-
alton, lodge, religious persua-
sion and all sorts of other
information.
Where will it end? Presum-
ably the police will step in if
things get to the point where
motorists can no longer see
out of their rear windows.

1. Return luxury items, like
television sets or record players.
2. Or have someone else take
over the payments. E .
Customers said they would
be permitted to keep washers
and refrigerators.
Mr.. Meckler said he was as
tonished that relief recipients
would be told to transfer pay
ments to someone else's name
after special investigation Of
relief rolls.
The suggestion encourages
duplicity, he declared.
One recipient introduced her
boy friend and asked to have
payments for her television set
put in his name. Mr.. Meckler
said.
Mrs. Viola Lee, assistant
chief of the public assistance
division, conceded that two
workers told recipients to find
someone else to take over pay
ments, but it was all a mistake.
Wrong Rule Used
The workers applied the
wrong rule from the public as
sistance manual, she said.
The rule used relates to new
applications. It says that items
usually considered luxury items,
and in the home prior to a per-
sons application for assistance,
may be kept if "other persons
agree to pay the balance"
Once on the rolls, recipients
aren't forbidden to have tele-
vision or other possessions that
could be considered luxuries.
But their acquisition shall be
Immediately investigated to as
certain continuing eligibility
for assistance" the manual
asserts.
No money for furniture is
provided in the public assist
ance grant, and only 9 little for
clothing and incidentals.

musedly staring at the hind

Additional Stipulation

Also, any single lot with 25
per cent or more Of such soil
could not qualify for construc-
ton of a house requiring a well
and septic tank, under the pro-
posal.
The proposed amendment
would vitally affect current ad-
ministration of subdivision reg
ulations by the Maryland
Capital Park and Planning
Commission, which is the con-
trolling agency on subdivisions.
For this reason, Mr.. Carter
recommended that the PLAN

fore a public hearing is set by

solve the problem of overflow
ing septic tanks and polluted
wells.
County Attorney Alfred H.

council an amendment to the
subdivision ordinance. which
would severely limit home
building in areas not served by
public water or sewer facilities.
1t will be presented to plan
ming and sanitary commission
officials for comment before a
public hearing is set.
Changes in subdivision regu-
lations were requested by the
council after It was revealed
several weeks ago that some
homes in Potomac were
plagued with ineffective septic
tanks and contaminated drink
ing water from wells.
Action by Council

reported also to be severe in
other sections.
Under the proposals urged
by Mr.. Carter, future Mont
gomery County subdivisions of
more than so lots would be re-

water and sewer, and subdi-
visions with more than IS lots
would have to provide either
water or sewer.

In the speech, Mr.. Stone said
that the goal for the center
is IAN ageless type of archi-
lecture, consistent with inter-
national Importance in a monu-
mental building, combined with
the most modern construction
techniques and theatrical ia
cilities."
The opera house would con-
tain an orchestra floor and
three shallow mezzanine floors.
The concert hall would have
an orchestra floor and three
mezzanine floors in a horse
shoe arrangement. There would
be an orchestra floor and one
mezzanine for the theater.
The center would be $50 feet
long and 800 feet wide. The
building would go up 100 feet
from a terraced plaza.
Roof space has been set aside
for two restaurants.
