Boy, 8, Goes
Back in Fiery
Home, Dies

CUMBERLAND. Md, Dec. 80
(AP).-An 8-year-old boy re-
entered his family's burning
house early today after his
father had carried him to
safety. The boy was found
dead, slumped behind a closed
bathroom door.
The father, Charles Weisen-
miller, 40, told police he didn't
notice the boy was missing
until after his wife and six
other children were safely
outside.
Police said the boy. Jeffrey,
died Of asphyxiation.
Mr.. Weisenmiller was warned
Of the fire shortly after mid
night, he said, when flames in
the kitchen were reflected on
the screen of a televiSion set he
was watching in the living
room.
He told police he ran into
the kitchen, saw the fire was
beyond his control and raced
upstairs to awaken his 42-year-
old wife, Juanita, and seven of
the family's nine children.
Mr.. Weisenmiller said he
carried Jeffrey downstairs and
outside. He then ran back into
the smoke-filled house to make
certain everyone was safe.
Only later, he said, when he
was accounting for his children
did he miss Jeffrey.
Police said cause Of the fire
had not been determined. They
said it probably started in the
kitchen of the two-story build
ing.
Two other Weisenmiller
children, one r6. the other 20,
were out at the time Of the
fire, police said.

bedridden for more than five
months.
But the areas welfare
administrators praised the
program as a worthwhile first
step toward adequate medical
care for the medically indi-
gent"-those persons who have
enough income for minimum
food and shelter, but who can
not meet sudden medical ex-
penses.
The program, announced
December 10 by the State
Department of Welfare and
Institutions, allows the follow
ing yearly maximums: $3.50 in
doctors fees, $100 in emergen-
cy dental care, and $3.50 in
prescribed drugs.
1t also allows 35 days of
disqualification, estimated by
Fairfax Welfare Superintendent
Frances Duffy to be worth
$1,750 on a $50 per day basis,
Only if a person is hospi-
talized is he or she eligible for
the subsequent services - go
days Of nursing home care
restricted by Virginia law tc
$3.50 per month; and so days
of care by registered practica
nurses, who usually receive $2C
per day.
But a person who has an
emergency operation and is
laid up for five straight
months during the year could
receive as much as $3.50 in
free medical care.
First S25 Deductible
However, the State welfare
department says ito prevent
the local departments from
being swamped with minor
payments, the applicant is held
responsible for the first $25 of
cost in drugs, doctors or den-
lists fees.
The program is to be fl
nanced IS per cent by Federal
funds, % per cent by State
funds and 13 per cent by local
funds.
A spokesman for the Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare said however, that the
Virginia plan had not been
formally submitted and ap-
proved by the Federal agency,
a necessary step for the match
ing Federal money.
The spokesman not
ed, however, that the Federal
departmen ent had approved
drafts of parts of the States
program, which was passed by
the 1862 Virginia General
Assembly and scheduled to
begin January /, 1864.
What the actual impact OF
the program will be on area
residents is not known at this
time.

tience."
The plate was a gift from
the man Mr.. Bunting succeeds
as general secretary of the
national council of YMCAs.
The inscription Is a pleasant
reminder Of a major job quail
fication. but Mr.. Bunting really
doesn't need the reminder.
In his SO years in the Y
movement he has developed q
concept of leadership, the
cornerstone Of which is pa
tience itself.
Mr.. Bunting believes leaders
should guide, not drive. They
should create an atmosphere In
which others can become
leaders. too, an atmosphere
where many people learn to
grapple with problems and to
solve them.
He has applied his brand Of
leadership during four years as
general secretary Of the Metro
politan Washington YMCA,
and the results are impressive.
Y membership here now
stands at 32,00O-up 20 per
cent since he arrived in Janu-
airy, 1860.
All told, probably 100000
persons in this area have some
contact with a Y in the course
of a year.
Twenty per cent Of the
members are women and girls,
brought in by the family mem
bership concept so popular in
recent years. and Of which Mr..
Bunting is an ardent advocate.
Roughly 10 per cent Of the
membership across the coun-
try, which totalled nearly 8
million at the end Of last year.
is enrolled under the family
plan, he said.
Fastest growing Of all Y
efforts Is the Indian Guide
program, with 12,7l0 tribes in
the United States today. Fa-
theirs must be active or sons
can't take part. Now 81, Mr..
Bunting is as deeply committed
| to the Christian purpose Of the
Y as he was the day his career
began in Herkimer County, N.
lY. But he believes in adapting
this Christian expression to the
times.
He is especially proud Of q
l2-week Y seminar on national
purpose and citizen responsible
/ ity in 1861, that brought this
note from the late President
Kenned:
"You are putting our nation

Briggs Episode Lessons

1t would seem that there are three les.

First Montgomery County's governmental
problems are not simple and cannot be solved
by "quickie' solutions Secondly, it is better
in the long run that the public business be
conducted in public forum Thirdly, chaos is

responsibilities and delegate them to a paid
hand.
In case after case it became obvious that
the recommendations of the financial consul
tant were either unavoidable or selfdefeating.
Generally, they reflected rather shallow
analysis of the problem.
There was little if any effort made to
probe into the detail of how things actually
function. This was the nub of the complaint
of the career people. They were fully pre-
pared to make new approaches to achieve
Council gols. They would have welcomed
expert assistance to develop these new ap-
proaches. They were frustrated in their desire
to show the way
II is refreshing to find whisper Of OBJ
jectivity on the part Of some Of the Council
members. The sooner that they can cast off
prejudice, the sooner real economy and eff

will learn that a knowledge of finance does
not necessarily carry with IL any particular
skill in management.
In the flush of victory, the Republicans
lost sight of their loftier principles which
they had espoused during the campaign.
From the vantage point of critics and out

If were boy of IL again here are some
OF the things would do: would want to go
to the sea again where the land and the water
meet; I would want to walk where the sand
Is wet from the waves that glide to the shore;
would want to watch the sea birds float by
and hear them cry from across the bay or
sound. Yes, if I were boy of II again,
would honor the call of the sea.
And if I were that boy again, I would
walk where the hills rise from the plains.
would look across the valley into the distance
and see the blue mountains and would want
to climb them and smell their greenery. I
would want to follow where the wood birds
dart and learn of their babies and why it is
they sing at sunrise.

some fishing hole that only and my buddy
know. We would sit down by this stream and
tie line around our toes and let the suckers
nip at the bait we'd dug. We would lay back
under the shadow of some great tree and
look up at the clouds as they floated by. And
we'd talk of the things we'd do when we got
grown up-and the money we would make
and the places we would 60.

battle or wash my face. l would not like girls
