The project itself is a nearly com- pleted arts and crafts room of a day-care center for young chil- dren in &otland, a rural community which exists as a kind of enclave in the newCabin John Regional Park in Montgomery County. The work still to be done includes clearing of brush in the playground area, carpentry on the 16 by 32-foot frame and plywood structure, and exterior painting. ---------------- The Scotland project grew out of the philosophical approach of the School of Architecture under t'he leadership of Dean John Hill. Founded only last fall, the School stresses architecture as a social tool and is dedicated to making the human environment more liv- able f01: all people. To ilrplc- ment this aim, '\s.;iignments were chosen for the tirst-year stude1,ts which would give them pra<'ttcal Cll."JlCrienc" in learning the building- trade.<s, which they must under- stand for their future careers, and which at the same time would contribute r eal improvement<: in human lives. The community of Scotland, founded by former slaves, was in danger of being wiped out by a Ja11d-condemnation proceeding for tl'ic regional park when a group of influentia l Bet hesda ci tizens be- cam4l concerned. Through their efforts the legal action was discon- tinued and citizens of Scotland organized to protect and rebuild their town. A cooperative associa- tion of residents, joined by some interested outsiders, launched a program involving job counseling, cooperation with the Montgomery County Council in such matters as zoning and public transportation, and provision of decent housing. The housing will be financed in part by federal grants, with resi- dents contributing their equity in the land and their own labor in the actual construction. Rurik Ekstrom, a faculty membe1· of the U. of Md. School of Architecture, is the architect in charge of de- signing 'he new homes and a com- munity building of which the day- care cente1· will eventually form one room. The designing of that room-to be built for use as a day-camp this summer but to be so constructed that it could be readily moved at a later time and incorporated into the rest of the community build- ing-was assigned as a class pro- ject to students in the second sem- ester of Professor Robert Bell's staff. Perhaps these account for three striking features of the de- sign-the inclusion of seven clear plastic, dome-shaped round win- dows 2- feet in diameter at various levels where little eyes can peer out at the landscape; a small cor- ner at a lower level than the rest of the room which she calls the "fish tank" that is reached by a small ladder and in whose walls are set four of the portholes; and an outside play area protected from rain by the overhang of the building, which is set above ground on stilts. Current location of the structure is a wood land clearing not far fro m a small stream. It will ac - com modate an estimated 40 chil- dren this summer under the super- vision of teenage volunteers and C ic! , p 1t-ti Jc ..i,. plied by the county. The interior will re m ain somewhat rustic until fall, when insu lation and built-in equipment will be installed. Resi - dents, however, plan to carpet the bare flooring with indoor-outdoor carpeting to protect little feet.

USE OF GHI HOSPITALITY ROOM I T BOARD MEETING by Sandra Barnes l 'se of th~ Hospitality Room came under question at the June 13 Greenbelt Homes. Inc .. boanl meeting. It seems that when some GHI committees wished to use the room. they found it already engaged by an outside organization on a regular ba is (i.e., every ~Ionday) and they were unable to find another suitable place to meet. The board did not want to limit u~e of the room, but did ,rnnt. it to be readily avail- able for GHI. As John O'Reilly put it, "It is ludicrous that outside organization should interfere with GHI orgamza- tions.'' Thus. O'Reilly's motion to limit the Hospitality Room to single re- servations made not more than two weeks in advance passed 4-1, Hawes casting the dissenting vote. He ,felt that GHI already had the authority to limit use of the room within the existing framework and that further regulations were un- necessary . Kathelr'ine Keane thought a subcommittee should be formed to look into changing the rules on the use of the room but Chairman Charles Schwan did not think the problem to be of that order of magnitude. Y ard Lines A particular problem has arisen in regard to yard Jines. Since yard lines were never actually de- termined by the federal govern- ment nor latet· by GHI, some mem- bers have put up fences in a "west- ward ho" fashion, as maintenance manager Dave Kane put it. basic course in architectura l de- sign. Mrs . Sucher, one of the ap- proximately 15 students in the course, submited the design which was chosen by the class for actual construction. The students them- selves bu ilt the structure, wh ich was to have been compl eted by the cl ose of the school y ea r.

Board members agreed that yard lines ought to be determined before a house is sold because it would not be fair to a purchaser to say that what he thought was his property when he bought the· house is really not his.

To tlw Editor:

A question to Mt·. Simon~on: When the by-laws committee of GHI Board members was proposed, did you object to its being Board members only? After all, you we1·e one of the Board. vVhy bring it up now? Don't the Board members form many committees to take care of various matte1·s as they come up rather than try to find volunteers from the membership? Are the Board members not mem­t>crs of GHI? I would like to sec the Board get enough volunteers from the usual attendance at a Boa1·d r.1eeting by the membership to farm a three-man committee!

The "rebellion of the members against the procedures used by the board and some of its officers" ,vas, in actuality, an organized ,:roup's annual attempt at recogni­tion through obstructionist tactics. In this year's annual meeting the only possibility for raising Cain was the proposed by-laws changes.

It must have seemed heaven•~ent that some of us wished to dispose of the business in an orderly and quick fashion. Except for the parking regulations the by•laws changes we re not actually chan­ges but clarifications, such as cor­rections in grammar. To accept or rejC'et them on their merits, without end less amendment, seem­£'d to me to be a wise way to con­duct the business. I cannot ima­gine why a conscientious pe1·son ,rould consider a procedure ob­'l(fo.usly meant to expedite what itoulcl be a ve1·y lengthy process tand yet one which needed doing) to be "arbiti·ary," "arrogant," and ''un-Amcrican."

Perhaps some members now re­gret having been gulled by inflam­matory verbiage into tabling the by-laws, and thereby accomplish­ing nothing except that you still have no means of enforcing park­ing regulations. There are un -ou btedly some other members

who were glad to table also-those who would rather not be bothe red with having to make a decision.

During my short tenure on the udit committee I attended more

Board meetings than Mr. Simon-on did. We no longer live in

Greenbelt, and we understand that .r.1r. Simonson is moving a lso, so these letters are strictly academic; however, I could not resist com-1J1enting on his remarkable let ter.

nounced last week that he has al·­ccpted the position of A.;,slslar,t P1ofrssor of Religion with the U n ­iversity of Nebraska. In .1 letter to the members of Greenbelt Com·· munity Church, Dr. Stover presen­ted his resignation effffective Au­gust 31 in order to assume his new position September 1.

In a special congregational meet­ing this past Sunday, the m,:mbers voted to accept Dr. Stover's resig­nation with strong regret.

The Stovers came to Greenbelt in Scptcmbn, 1967, from Franklin Centre, Quebec, Canada, where I >r. Stover served as a part-time pas­tor while completing his doctoral studies at McGill University, Mon• treal.

Dr. Stover will preach the last two Sundays of July and the first two Sundays of August. During these months the Community Church and the Mowatt Memorial Methodist Church will be holding oint services.

Frost• never st :rts.

ce never stops.

/ Ice can be nice .• . when it's in a snowball, or when it's cooling a shrimp salad.

But ice can also be not-so-nice ... as in frost that builds and builds in your refrigerator 'til it practically crowds out the food.

Today, you can buy a refrigerator-freezer that knows which ice to make, and which to forget.

1 It's the new frost-free, with automatic ice­cube maker. Frost never starts. Cubes never stop.

There are other reasons for stepping up to a new refrigerator-freezer. Far more food space, ior one thing, in the same floor space you're

probably now using. Efficient freezer positioning -top, bottom, side-by-side. Changeable door fronts. Interesting new colors, ranging from mild to wild.

Break the ice, with a visit to The Electric Institute Showroom, first floor, PEPCO Building, 10th & E Streets, N.W. Then, when you're famil­iar with all the makes, models and features, you'll be in a better position to MATCHLESS sl! .. v,cn

make the buy ... at your PIP.Ca favorite appliance dealer • or department store.
