Rod from April to October, with
June the peak month.
The main spawning ground
is in the lower Bay near the
ocean, where salt content Of
the water is higher than in
the upper Bay, but lower than
in the Atlantic.
A female will produce about
Its million eggs at a spawning
which are attached In an egg
mass or sponge" to the female.
After about is days, the eggs
hatch and the very small, al
most invisible larvae, known as
zoea, are swept away from the
female.
The zoea mouths or sheds its
shell five times to change into
the second stage of its develop
ment, the megalops. In this
stage the young crab looks
something like a fresh water
crayfish
The crab must shed its hard
shell, or skeleton. to increase in
size. Under normal conditions
the crab gains about one-third
in size with each mott.
Moves Up Bay
A crab Matched in July
passes through two laval forms
by late September and starts
to move UP the Bay.
The older members of a year
class usually reach the region
of the Maryland Virginia line
before cold weather sets in and
haltS the migration, DR.. Cronin
said.
At this point, the crabs ap-
pear to stop feeding and do
little moving about until the
water warns up in early spring
and the migration continues.
They reach maturity in the
upper Bay and the males may
mate during the last 2 or g
stages of growth. When the
female is ready to shed for the
last time, she is also ready for
mating.
After mating, the female mi
CRATES toward the mouth of
the Bay and the cycle begins
again. Males usually remain in
the upper Bay and enter an
inactive acknowledging state
during winters.
This endless migration takes
its toll of crabs from the larvae
stage to maturity and DR.. Gro
min said it estimated that of
the LIS million eggs spawned
by one female, only two crabs
will live to maturity.
But even with this high NOR
tally, in a normal year, a suf-
ficient number of crabs survive
to provide food for the table.

Navy Barracks K Continues as Drab Quarters

putting m oney down a rat
hole"
Funds for replacing the bar
racks have been requested by
the Navy in proposed budgets
since 1859. However, the Sem
ate Armed Services Committee
which reviewed the program
noted that all three armed serv-
ices were requesting authoriza-
ton for troop housing In the
Washington area. Consequently
the committee requested a study
to develop plans for housing
troops of the Army, Navy and
Air Force in one consolidated
area. A master plan was devel-
oped under the direction Of the
Defense Department.
Funds Requested
Funds have been requested
for the 1864 fiscal year for
Joint service quartering areas
at Bolling-Anacostia and Fort
Myer, to be sponsored by the
Air Force and Army. It is re-
ported that the eventual Fort
Myer project would include
space to replace the Quarters
X barracks.
Reactions to the tri-service
quartering plan has been
varied. One naval officer
summed up a feeling shared
by many: I'm my opinion, It
will never work. Each branch
of the service takes pride In It's
individual organization and we
need that autonomous spirit to
hold us together"
In the meantime, the prob
lem Of Quarters X remains.
I'VE are preparing to MAIN
tain Quarters X for at least
another five years, with the
idea that they (the barracks)
are going to be here a WHILE"

Firehouse
Site Opposed
Groups

The Montgomery County
Council has been asked to re-
verse its stand in favor of a
new Silver Spring firehouse site
near Four Corners and to ex-
ercise its right Of eminent do
main" to get another across
the street.
Objection to the site, APP
proved by the council on Tues
day in a 3-to-2 vote, came from
the presidents of two civic
associations Of the area in a
joint letter to council members,
County Manager Mason A.
Butcher and County Attorney
Robert Tobin.
Contents of the letter were
announced yesterday by Henry
F. Hurley, chairman of q joint
committee of the two associa-
tons formed to oppose location
of the projected 5000 fire
station on the north side of
University boulevard at st.
Lawrence drive.
Noting that the councils vote
this week was only on a mo-
ton authorizing the county at
ltorney to draft a resolution ap-
proving the location. the civic
leaders urged that an opposite
stand be taken when the coun-
Gil considers the resolution at
a meeting Monday.
They also urged "all members
of the council to vote against
this resolution. In Tuesdays
action, two council members,
Miss Kathryn E. Diggs and
Grover K. Walker, abStained
from voting. The other members
had voted 3-to-2 in favor of
the site.
In their new plea, Mrs.
Blanche T. Cawton, president
of the Pinecrest Citizens As
ISOLATION, and Roger F. Hale,
president of the Woodmor Citi-
zens' Association, asked the
council to exercise its right Of
eminent domain on behalf Of
the fire department to assure
selection of an ideal site just
across the boulevard on the
Kay property Of 40 vacant
acres"

However, on March % the
commissioners moved to set up
the human relations committee
without naming its responsible
tiles, structure or membership.
During the last three weeks
the county heads have met with
leaders in the field of racial
problems to discuss the pro-
posed committee. Among them
were Douglas Sands, a special
protocol officer in the State
Department and former execu-
tive director Of the Maryland
Commission on - Interracial
Problems.

caught are small and lack
weight.
AS q result, prices have
climbed to from $3.50 to $3.50
retail for a dozen hardshell
crabs. In an average year a
dozen crabs would bring from
81 to SIPS at this time.
Despite the sad picture of
crab availability, the demand
for the tasty meat increases
and wholesalers, retailers and
restaurants are alarmed over
the shortage.
Alarm Not Shared
Their alarm, however, Is not
shared by scientists who devote
their lives to the study of fish
life.
DR.. L. Eugene Cronin, direc-
tor Of the Natural Resources
Institute of the University Of
Maryland, said this years yield
has been well below average,
but he expects an upSwing as
warm weather continues.
DR.. Cronin does not foreSee a
longtime shortage, but said
yearly fluctuations in the num-
Der of crabs are common.
The present shortage, he be-
Iieves, is due to a small hatch
in 1861. This became apparent
late last summer and fall.
Since it takes about IA
months for crabs to grow to
edible size, the small produc-
ton in 1861 has rot been felt
until this year.
If the crabs had q good
breeding season last year, by
next year the supply may re-
turn to normal. And good
: breeding seasons are necessary
since, in a normal year, Is to
40 million pounds of crab are
taken from the Bay.
No Ready Answers
Why the poor breeding sea-
son two years ago? No one has
a ready answer.
DR.. Cronin said fluctuations
in crab life are difficult to pre-
dict because of the lack of
knowledge.
Among factors that can in
fluence reproduction are such
unknowns as environment,
availability Of food, toll by
predators while the crabs de-
velop from larvae to maturity,
water Salinity, oxygen in the
water and the harvest by man.

that female crabs usually
spawn twice a year, using the

There still are 166 days I'M
til Christmas, but for some 40
Silver Spring youngsters, the
holiday is less than a week
away.
The children, who attend
summer Bible school at the
Episcopal Chapel of The Good
Shepherd, S1S University boule-
ward. Silver Spring. have
planned a Christmas pageant
Friday as a climax to the two
week session.
Clad as angels, carolers,
shepherds and religious figures
of the time, the children hope
to bring a "Christmas-in-July"
spirit to the small, 150-seat
chapel.
In its fourth year of opera
ton and open to all denom-
nations, the school is super
vised by two Silver Spring
housewives, Mrs. Charles Puff
fenbarger, of 304 Hillmoor
drive, and Mrs. Bruce Erick-
son, of 1904 Eby court.

knowledge or facts, but for him
to actually live the life of a
Christian"
This is brought about
through planned activities
which include Bible reading,
prayer sessions, religious dis
cussions and daily worship
services.
Mrs. Puffenbarger said en-
phasiS is placed on getting the
children to worship at home.
Ranging in age from 2 to IL
years, they are encouraged to
plan short home services each
night, using the hymns and
prayers they learn during the
school day.
The theme of being a ''liv-
ing Christian" is reflected In
much of the childrens' handi-
work - miniature affairs,
clothespin dolls of priests and
churches made of popsicle
sticks.
Emphasize Meaning
The schools is volunteer
helpers spend the first 80 min
utes of each day in study and
discussion groups with the chill
dren, emphasizing the personal
meaning of each prayer, Bible
reading and hymn.
Besides the religious training
received daily, the boys and
girls have a chance to make
gifts for relatives and the
needy, and to bake cookies and
cakes to be sold at a bake sale
the last night of the school.
Although the children meet
only 212 hours a day, the teach
ers still arrange time for visits
to the sick and tours of Wash
ington area churches. The
chapel also has adopted a
needy family and the children
supply them with canned goods
and clothing.
Makes No Charge
Located in the basement
classrooms of the 4-year-old
chapel, the Bible school is run
without charge to the children's
parents. A collection is taken
up each Friday, however, and
the money used to buy items
for the adopted family and re-
freshments for the children.
The two weeks Of fun and
religious training ends this Fri
, day with the Christmas pageant
; and the awarding Of a gold
