several hundred children were
temporarily placed in Junior
Village in 1862, and to deter
mine what community re-
sources would have been needed
to keep them in their own
homes.
In the Family and Child
Services project, three foster
homes will be set up:
One will be for four or five
children from a single family
who have been separated from
their natural parents; the sec
ond for older teen-age boys, as
a halfway house toward in
dependent living, and a third
for children who otherwise
would have to be placed in
Junior Village. About 80 chill
dren would be cared for at
one time.
To Rent Homes
The agency plans to rent
and furnish three group homes,
in which married couples would
give care and supervision.
The foster mother would be
an employe Of the agency,
rather than the recipient OF
a monthly grant for each
child, as is usually the case.
In the carrying out grant to
Howard University, interviews
will be held with significant
members" of the families OF
children placed in temporary
care in Junior Village in 1862,
Inadequacies in employment
and earning capacity, in edu-
cation, housing, health and
family stability will be weighed
The goal will be to find out
what services the community
might have offered to stabilize
the families and keep them to-
gether.

ROCKS 3.5 BILLION years
old have been found in North
America and on other con-
tinents. This method has
been used on meteorites. It
has been found that they
are all as billion years old.
1t was an eventful period
when these specks became
notes in the cosmic eye.
Perhaps the world went
into orbit at the same time.
The earliest forms of life
are thought to have been
viruses, and bacteria and the
single-celled algae, which are
still with us. They left no
fossils. But in rocks 81 bill
lion years old carbon traces
of undoubted organic origin
have been found-the residue
of algae. Such traces have
not been found in older
rocks. So life began almost 8
billion years ago.

To Beginnings
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

"Anyone who wishes to
think in terms of evolution,
or write about 1t, should start
off by wandering through
one of those great museums
there are four or five in
the world - in which (at the
cost of efforts whose heroism
and spiritual value will one
day be understood) a host Of
travellers has succeeded in
concentrating in a handful
of rooms the entire spectrum
Of life"
The quote is from Teilhard
de Chardin's posthumously
published book The Phe-
nomenon Of Man."
The Smithsonian is GER
tainly one of those "four or

One should start in the
rotunda of the Natural His
tory Museum at Tenth street
and Constitution avenue.
There beyond the great Afri-
can elephant (the largest
ever shot), tossing his trunk
high as if trumpeting a chal-
lenge, are two Of the oldest
objects on earth.
They are meteoriteS.
1t is now realized that the
world is much older than 1t
was thought TO be before
the war. Then checks on ra-
dioactive elements in lead
showed an existence of IT

Now there are five checks,

in lead, thorium in lead, and
less familiar elements with
radioactive isotopes. The un-

2 RockCreek Dams
Receive Backinq
Flood Control
Plan Approved
By House Unit
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

A plan to control flooding OF
Rock Creek by construction of
two dams in the upper section
Of Montgomery County won
approval Of a House Public
Works Subcommittee today.
The project would cost 81
l28, 900. The Government would
contribute 81 ,287, 900, or so per
cent, and the balance would
come from local tax money.
Testimony backing the flood
control plan for upper Rock
Creek watershed was given at
a House Public Works subcom-
mittee hearing on legislation
to authorize the project. There
was no opposition.
The two dams would be built
north of Rockville on sites be-
tween Durwood and Norbeck.
WIuc DcncIIt seen
Representative Matthias, Re-
publican of Maryland, said the
project would benefit the en-
tire Washington area.
Benefits from the construc-
ton project cited by witnesses
included erosion control, crea-
ton Of lakes for recreational
use, flood protection and re-
duction of the silt being
dumped into the Potomac.
Representative Sickles, DEM
ocrat Of Maryland, said the
plan represents IAN excellent
example Of farm people and
urban dwellers working to-
gether for the mutual advan.
tage Of both"
924 Acres Acquired
The flood control project
would be carried out under
the general supervision Of
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commits
sion. The commissions execu-
tive director, Jesse F. Nichol-
son, said his agency already
has bought 924 acres Of land,
and has another 458 acres un-
der contract, for sites for the
two dams.
John H. Wetzel, director of
Soil Conservation Services
Watershed Planning Division.
said that under current con-
ditions IL million tons Of
sediment would be washed into
the Potomac over a 50-year
period. The project would cut
this figure back by nearly
100000 tons, he said.
Mr.. Wetzel said that. be-
cause of rapid development Of
the area, the flood control
work probably would not be
feasible if it is delayed as much
as five years.
Condition DeplOred
Other witnesses included Ma
son Butcher. county manager
OF Montgomery County, and
Lathrop E. Smith. representing
the Rock Greek Watershed As
sociation and the Montgomery
Soil Conservation District, both
of Kensington.
Mr., Smith, who said that in
recent years Rock Greek has
changed from a lovely stream
Ito literally a common sewer"
told the subcommittee that he
knows of no objection to the
project.
