Study Fellowship Awarded To Deaf Gluey Educator An Olney-born educator, who has never turned a deaf ear to the handicapped, is one of four Gailaudet College graduates who have been awarded summer fellowships at the University of Illinois in recognition of out standing service. Rudolph C. Hines, currently dividing his time between in structional work at Gailaudet and graduate studies at the Uni versity of Maryland, was select ed for a full fellowship in the summer institute to be conduct m* 1 [ft Rudolph Hines ed by the Illinois University’s committee on school mathe matics. Planned for teachers of secondary mathematics, the pro gram is sponsored by the Na tional Science Foundation. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam C. Hines Sr., who now live in Colesville, Hines has devoted his educational career to the handicapped after having be come totally deaf himself at the age of seven as the result of a mastoid Infection. A graduate of the Maryland School for the Deaf, he received a BS degree from Gailaudet in 1947 and a Steers Heads GOP Fight Against Redistricting Newton I. Steers Jr., unsuc cessful Republican candidate for Congress-at-large last year, has been chosen to head a GOP petition effort to overturn Mary land's newest redistricting bill. His appointment was announc ed by David Scull, Republican State Chairman, who said the party will make a major effort to circulate petitions in opposi tion to the newly-enacted pro posal to create the new Bth dis trict in an area comprising Anne Arundel, Calvert, Carroll and Howard Counties. Scull said the Republican par ticipation would involve a joint campaign with the League of Women Voters, which will pro vide the petitions. The new ac tivity would be a repeat of the cooperation between the League and GOP leaders in opposition to the 1962 bill, which was thrown out in a referendum brought up by their protest. Scull noted that a more in tensive campaign would be re quired this year as the result of the legislature's approval of a companion bill raising to 23,- 000 the number of signatures required to authorize the refer endum. Under the new setup, at least half the signatures must be submitted by the end of May, with the remainder due no later than the end of June. As head of the statewide pro gram, Steers will work in co operation with Republican chair men in the existing Congres sional districts.

He Is now an associate professor of mathematics at the Washington school, the world's only college for the deaf. In 1955 Hines was appointed by former Gov. Theodore R. McKeldin as a member of the board of visitors of the Mary land School for the Deaf. He is president of the Maryland As sociation of the Deaf, treasurer of the Episcopalian St. Barna bas’ Mission to the deaf, execu tive secretary of the Committee for Expansion of the Captioned Films for the Deaf Program and a member of several other committees in the state devoted to the hard of hearing.

He and his wife, the former Marlene Skogas of Montana, have two children. During his studies at the University of Maryland, they are making their home at 6803 40th Ave. in University Park. Of the four Gailaudet gradu ates who received fellowships for the summer course, two others joined Hines in return ing to the school as Instructors. The fourth is a teacher of mathematics at the Illinois School for the Deaf. All accord ing to Gailaudet officials are profoundly deaf. Participants in the summer institute will receive instruction in the mathematical content and background of the Illinois com mittee program. In addition, they also will become familiar ized with procedures which have been found to be the most effec tive in teaching the subject mat ter of mathematics to deaf stu dents. new realignment will become effective unless the protest ref erendum has been authorized. In accepting the appointment, Steers asserted the new bill “mocks the fundamental basis of democratic government.” In view of the reversal of the earlier bill, he added, “it indi cates that those responsible are not only unfair, but are willing to ignore the express wishes of the voters.” Republicans, he said, are In accord with critics of the meas ure who previously have termed NOW-ON ALL MOTOROLA TV'S FULL YEAR GUARANTEE ON ALL PARTS* PLUS 90 DAYS LABOR WARRANTY** AT NO EXTRA COST!

WSSC Sewer Users Often Waste Money w A suggested “rule of thumb” for Washington Suburban Sani tary Commission customers to remember is “Call the WSSC first in case of sewer stoppage!” Although the Commission has recommended a long-standing procedure for its suburban Maryland customers in the event of sewer emergency, many homeowners, by instinct, make their initial calls for aid to plumbers. The Sanitary Commission points out that the property owner can often save unneces sary expenditure for plumbing service if he calls the WSSC first. “As soon as the Commission is notified of a sewer stoppage," the WSSC points out, “it will dispatch a crew to determine whether or not the stoppage is in the main line sewer. If the stoppage is in the main line, It will be cleared as quickly as possible at no cost to the home owner. “If the stoppage Is not In the main, the homeowner will be so informed and, at his own ex pense, obtain a master plumber to determine the location of the trouble. If the plumber finds that the stoppage is on private property or in the sewer con nection at its point of junction with the Commission system at the property line, he will clear the trouble at the property owner’s expense. "However, if the plumber finds there is no stoppage in the private line, he will notify the WSSC; and the Commission will then seek the stoppage in its pipe between the main and the property line. If there is a stop page at this location, the WSSC will correct the condition at no cost to the property owner." A concise information sheet describing the WSSC procedures for reporting a sewer stoppage or water leak may be obtained free of charge, on request, from the Public Information Office, WSSC, 4017 Hamilton Street, Hyattsville, Md. The WSSC maintains around the-clock maintenance service. Emergency calls during the reg ular working day, 8:15 a m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, should be made to APpleton 7-7700, Ext. 247.
