Free X-Ray Survey To Start August 1 The Montgomery County Tuberculosis and Heart Association’s portable x-ray unit will visit six locations in the first week of August for the purpose of providing frpe chest examinations. Officials of the unit said the August survey has been planned to some extent for the benefit of employes of the Board of Education and the cooperative nursery program who are required to show evi dence of either x-ray examina tions or negative tuberculin tests before the start of the fall term. However, all residents of the county are urged to undergo the tests. Hie x-rays not only are use ful in detecting unknown tuber culosis, but can play an im portant role in uncovering some forms of heart disease, cancer and other abnormalities of the chest, it was pointed out. The August schedule will in clude the following visits: August I—Fenton and Persh Twinbrook Lemuel Threatt’s Book Is Written for Children By Rita E. Elliott GArden 4-9336 Lemuel T. Threatt is the au thor of a new book, “Dating, Dancing and Decorum.” The bqok is written for children up to 15 years old, with each page beautifully illustrated. Lem has lived in Twinbrook for two and a half years with his Mother, in a home expertly decorated by him. When he is not at his job, as civil engineer for a down-town firm, he is utilizing one of his many artis tic talents—which range from building a modem piece of fur niture to painting a mural In a restaurant or home. His love for children is well known among his neighbors. For years he has taught a Sun day school class and Is in charge of the Junior department at his church. His interest in dancing dates back to high school days when he started the "Terpsichorian Club” at Coolidge High School. This club taught dancing to ell •tudents and was a huge suc cess. Later as a patient at Naval Institute of Health he taught ambulatory patients to dance. The therapeutic and emotional results with these patients in fluenced him into teaching pro fessionally. After three years of teaching t the Chevy Chase Woman’s Club he began to teach decorum along with dancing. He started with a class of 400 which be came known as the Alexandria Junior Assembly and knew this would be his vocation. After several years he had many requests to start similar classes in Washington. This led to one of his nicest jobs—every year Lem teaches debutantes poise and polish prior to their coming out parties. He has also started a Montgomery County Junior Assembly. It is after all these varied experiences that he has written a book. It is written just as he teaches, especially for children who cannot attend such assem blies, and as a souvenir to those who have participated. The book will be available by Sep tember 15. at $3.25 for the paper bound edition, and $5. cloth bound. Olive Milgate and daughter.

Commission On Aging to Meet Sept. 7 A two-day statewide con ference on problems of the aging will open at the Uni versity of Maryland Septem ber 7 under sponsorship of the State Commission on Ag ing, headed by Montgomery County Delegate Mrs. Mar garet C. Schweinhaut. Purpose of the meeting is to develop proposals and recom mendations to be submitted to a scheduled White House Con ference on Aging in January of next year. Mrs. Schweinhaut said the principal purpose of the confer ence is to seek the opinion of citizens who, although non-ex perts in the field, are person ally familiar with the problems of the aging. Some of the barriers which prevent many older persons from achieving a liveable exist ence in Maryland, according to Mrs. Schweinhaut, are low in come, illness, inadequate nurs ing facilities, poor houring, em ployment prejudice and insuffi cient rehabilitation and recrea tion facilities. The problems brought by these barriers, she said, consti tute “one of the greatest chal lenges of the 20th century—the challenge of making the later years liveable.” Area Mormons Participate In Pageant Four Mormon missionaries assigned to the Montgomery County area will participate next month in the annual Hill Cumorah Pageant near Palmyra, N.
