Dear Sir:
The morning Of August 27,
1868. 1 was driving southeast
on Highway 16 heading toward
Sidney, when my car skldded
on slick pavement and crashed
sideways into a bridge In the
vicinity of Hackley's farm. The
picture of the car and a short
summation story were featured
on the front page of the Sid
ney Herald Labor Day weekend
edition.
I am sure neither my daugh-
ter nor myself will ever have
anything but the warmest
place in our hearts for the
wonderful people who helped
out at the scene of the acci-
dent, those who staff the Com
munity Memorial Hospital and
just everyone in Sidney.
My daughter, Cathie, is now
in College Park, Maryland
where she registered at the
University of Maryland on Sep
tember 18th and l arrived II

The
Rambler
Drops By
Junior Village
BY JOHN McKELwAY

Rain and snow fell stead
lily on Junior Village and ran
in countless streams through
acres of mud, down the hill
from the tired old brick
buildings standing in a de-
pressing row. They are
called cottages" and named,
strangely, after past Presi-
dents of the United States.
Off to the left were three
new cottages, low-slung and
modern, but also surrounded
by mud.
Inside a cramped office in
the modest administration
building was a wiry, bald
Ing, fought ooking man
named Joseph Kosisky.
He is A and married and
has three children.
He is also responsible for
about 718 children at Junior
Village who range in age
from six months to 10 years
Of age.
Mr.. Kosisky, the villages
director, came out of the
coal mining country of
Pennsylvania around Pitts
ton. His father was a miner.
As a young man he was
attracted to teaching. He
once had a class of old, IL
literate Italian miners. He
taught them to sign their
names. Their hands were so
gnarled and calloused they
could not grip pencils. Mr..
Kosisky-he remembers this
with much warmth-pro-
vided the old men with spools
of thread and through the
hole in the spool he slipped a
pencil. They could grip the
spool.

The report also noted that

Also. the agency may have
used an optimistic "annualiza-
ton factor"
A more conservative use OF
these key factors would pro-
duce a deficit of $225 million
in financing the system from

The increase in construction
costs. plus the conservative rev.

region will be unable TO make a

After the war, he taught

School For Boys and then

juveniles. He's been at Jun

years.

spurts which often reflect a
deep Illustration.

ceiving Home. / see them

The children, abandoned
by their parents, need rec
ignition perhaps as much
as kindness. Mr.. Kosisky
came up with a sort Of
deans list. 1t comes out
each week and is posted.
If a child stays out Of
trouble, he makes the list.
"They like to see their
names in print" he said.
Mr.. Kosisky was largely
responsible for getting as
many as 220 children into
public school-back into the
community for a few hours
each day. He had to talk
principals and teachers into
the idea. He Is determined
to turn the village into
something more than a vast
baby sitting center.
From funds donated by
the public to a special fund,
he is able to give most of
the youngsters five cents a
day for spending money. At
school, the children can buy
something-or save 1t up
and jingle 1t in their pockets.
He has found the little
girls like new ribbons land

he said.
Each child gets a birthday
party. Mr.. Kosisky likes to
get brothers and sisters to-
gether at these. Separated
at the village because of
their ages, they rarely see

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 2O.-Mary-
lands House of Delegates,
stunned by indictment Of its
Speaker, was undergoing re-
organization today.
Speaker A. Gordon Boone,
who with five others was
charged with nine counts of
mail fraud yesterday, planned
to step down and turn his gavel
over to Delegate Marvin Man
del Of Baltimore, chairman OF
the House Ways and Me a n S
Committee. Mr.. Boone called
the charges unfounded.
1t was Maryland's savings
and loan scandal, spurred by
a furious battle in the General
Assembly in 1851, which
reached back into the Legisla-
ture to cast a shadow over the
political career Of Mr.. Boone.
Misrepresentation Seen
The indictments returned by
Federal grand jury in Balti-
more accuse Mr.. Boone, So, and
the other five persons named of
disappearing the protection
provided by the Security Finan-
cial Insurance Corp, which
they helped organize in 1859, as
an insurer of savings and loan
accounts.
A number of savings and
loan associations insured by
the corporation, as we'll as Sc
curity Financial Insurance
Corp. itself, have been placed
In receivership or conservator-
ship since the State cracked
down on savings and loan OPP
erations.
Indicted with Mr.. Boone
were:
Charles F. Culver, So, a for
mer Democratic delegate from
Baltimore County and the first
president of Security Financial.
j. Thomas Ellicott, So, a
substitute trial magistrate in
Baltimore County and a former
law partner of Mr.. Boone and
Senator Brewster, Democrat of
Maryland. He served as counsel
for Security Financial and is
a former State president of
the Young Democrats in Mary
land.
D. Spencer Grow. SIS, Provo,
Utah, associated with five as
sociations insured by Security
Financial.
D. Oran Mensik. SO, Chicago
financier associated with five
associations insured by Security
Financial.
Henry McGurren, SO, Chicago
attorney. Mr.. Boone said Mr.
McGurren gave $3.50, 900 toward
incorporation of the firm which
went out of business last sum-
mer after a court ordered II
into receivership and froze Its
funds.
Arrangement is scheduled for
March /.
Mr.. Boone posted $1,000 cash
collateral before the clerk OF
the Federal Court in Baltimore
today. Earlier Mr.. Culver posted
$1,000 through a professional
bondsman.
Boone Takes Leave
The biggest immediate con-
Germ of the General Assembly
is what effect the indictment
will have on legislation, par
ticularly the Governors pro-
gram.
In announcing what he called
a leave of absence" from the
Speakership, Mr.. Boone said he
does not think the indictment
will have any effect on the
Governors program.

The Commissioners report
said the Meta was caught in
a two-way bind on its transit
proposal, because its estimates
on construction should be
higher, while conservative es-
Inmates of revenue should be
lower.
The total picture of increased
costs and decreased income
would mean that Congress, the
District and the suburban jur-
isdictions would have to sub
sidize the rail system. the Com
missioner's report said.
The Meta report also has
incorrect and inflationary es-
Inmates on its savings for the
regional freeway system and on
relocation estimates, the export
states.
The recommendations for raj
lines are for the line along
Wisconsin avenue Northwest
Bethesda; Rockville Silver
Spring, along the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad line; a commutel
line along the Pennsylvania
Railroad to Lanham in Prince
George county, and another
transit line through Alexandria
to Springfield.
The Commissioners did not
salm the door on the larger
transit system, but said more
study was needed.
They pointed out that the
Meta studies had not provided
the Commissioners data nee
essary to equitably and ade-
quately compare the merits OF
the Mass Transportation Sur
vey Plan of 1859 and the Meta
Plan Of 1852"
