Hope For Retarded

My parents and the other
eight chilren tried to include
Rose in everything they did.
At Hyannis Port / would take
her as crew in our boat races,
and i remember that she US
ually could do what she was
told. She was especially help
full with the jib, and she loved
to be in the winning boat. Win
ming at anything always
brought a marvellous smile to
her face.
She loved music, and my mo-
Their used to play the piano
and sing to her. At the dining
table Rose was unable to cut
her meat, so it was served to
her already cut.
Later on, in her teens, it was
more difficult for her. In social
competition she couldn't keep
up. She learned to dance we'll
enough for my brothers to take
her along to parties, but it
wasn't easy whey Rose would
say, why don't other boys
ask me to dancer"
Yes, keeping a retarded child
at home is difficult. Mother al
ways said the greatest prob
lem was to get other children
to play With Rose 10 md tlme
to give all the attention she
needed and deserved. Like
many retarded persons, Rose
loved small children and want
ed to be helpful with them.
Often | heard her offer her as
sistance to Mother with a ques
ton like, Can I take the
young children rowing, Mo
ther?"
S h e loved compliments.
Every time l would say, Rose,
you have the best teeth and

smile for hours. She liked to

When my father became
ambassador to England, Rose
came to London with us and
was presented to the king and
queen at Buckingham Palace
with mother, Dad and my sis

Mother was worried abou
Rosemary in London. Wou'

she get confused taking a bus

In 1914, when we returned
to the U.S.A., Rosemary was

becoming increasingly irrita-

somber and talked less. Her
memory and concentration and
her judgment were declining.
My mother took Rosemary to

doctors. All of them said her

competition was far less and

to think this change might not

time when his vessel is blowing
its way through seas of change
and, now, controversy.
In the public dispute, Frost
burg's students for the most
part have aligned themselves
with DIR. Hardesty's critics in
the faculty. In the most recent
action by the student body,
some 700 of Frostburg's 1905
college men and women voted
last night to ask an investiga-
ton of the fear and dissen-
sion" on their campus in
Western Maryland.
The day before, more than
1000 students approved a long
statement criticizing DR.. Har-
desty as one who neglected his
responsibility to the students
and used tactics of "intimida-
ton" to have his way with both
students and faculty members.

vestigation can be construed
as an Endorsement Of the in

SOME MEMBERS OF

They wanted to see an "in-
termediary" vessel built to
handle additional prelimi-
nary drilling. They claim the
foundation has ignored the
committees advice. The
foundation, meanwhile, has
not made a decision on
whether to build an inter

mate" vessel, one which
would begin digging for
"Moho."
The controversy is boiling.
A scientist told the Subcom-
mittee that by ignoring
AMSOC'S advice, the
foundation was separating

Another scientist was
asked, at one point, "Are
you now or have you ever

yet, neither an "intermedi-

million.

The

Roises
A Red Flag
BY JOHN MeKELWAY

'Bindiggle" is a relatively
new word-coined during
Halloween-which can be
used to describe a Govern
ment project seemingly des-
tined to become a boon
doggle. /"
BY calling a project a
"bindiggle" it does not nee
essarily follow that it def
nitely will be, in time, a
boondoggle. Bindiggle Is
used merely to raise a red
warning flag; it should also
be used with utmost caution
because most people, until
the word is fully understood,
will think you meant to say
"bondoggle' when you said
''bindiggle."
A "boondoggle," as every
schoolhoy knows, is created
work devised to give certain
persons, often needy" per-
sons, a chance to slice up the
pie provided by the tax
payer.
Project Mohole, for ex-
ample, is not a boondoggle.
1t is a bindiggle.
This was APPARENT during
some hearings earlier in the
week, staged by a House sub
committee on oceanography.
Back in the late 1865, a
group Of scientists were
brooding over all the talk
about outer space. Appar-
emily, they were not inter-
ested particularly in going
up. They wanted to go the
other way.
Anyway, they organized
themselves into a group
called the American Mis-
cellaneous Society,"" In a
twinkling, the group became
"AMSOC" and decided to
spread the word that we
ought to start drilling a hole
in the earth and find out
what 1t is made Of. For all
science knew, they indicated,
that area of the earth Just
below the crust might be a
heavy, solid form of green
cheese.
Technically, that portion
Of the world is known as the
''Moho"-named for a Yugo-
slav scientist named Moho-
rovicic. He found it was
down there, about 6 miles
down, by studying earth
quakes. After the Moho,
comes the earth's mantle
and after the mantle, the

In case you've forgotten, that
sweet-smelling, colorless, moist
stuff falling out of the sky Is
rain.
1t began here in measurable
amounts at 3:12 am. today,
ending the longest rainless
period-32 days-in the history
of the Washington Weather
Bureau.
The drought, which inflicted
severe damage on fall crops
and caused water supplies to
drop dangerously. extended
over most of the Eastern half
of the Nation.
Today's precipitation brought
partial relief to many Of the af-
flicted areas.
y Beats 1901 Record
Washington weather chron-
iclers report that the 32-day
rain-free spell surpassed by
four days the previous record
of % rainless days recorded ii
1901.
A 1.98-inch rainfall reported
last September 1920 was the
Washington areas last precipi-
tation before the drought period.
BY IL am. today, nearly one
fifth of an inch of rain was re-
ported at National Airport.
Only occasional, light rain was
expected this afternoon. Skies
are due to clear tonight, with
mostly sunny, windy and
cooler weather tomorrow.
Potomac Flow Was Low
Midway through the dry
spell, Weather Bureau river
watchers reported that the vol
ume of water flowing in the
Potomac had dropped to the
lowest level in 80 years. The
lowest flow reported during
October was about 800 cubic
feet per second, far below the
average october flow of $500
