the State Department of Health. said in
urging every man. woman and child in the
State to invest generously in Christmas seals.
First among them is the obligation that
rests upon every one Of us to fight on and

such appalling toll of our people each year.
tuberculosis has lost the place OF supremacy

death in Maryland. Ii has gone down to
third place, with heart disease and chronic

Library Planned At Sandy Spring.

Establishment of community library at
Sandy Spring was one of the principal
matters considered at the monthly meet
ing last Friday evening Of the Community
Council of Sandy Spring neighborhood. A
differencd of opinion developed as to the
feasibility of such a project and it was
decided to refer the matter TO the sixteen
organizations composing the council and
to give IL further attention when their
views are ascertained.
The committee appointed at previous
meeting to investigate the reported need
Of additional room at the Sandy Spring
High School reported that at least one OF
the rooms in the elementary department
is crowded and that there is urgent need
of at least one more room. Il was thought
best. however. not to push the matter for
the present.
The movement inaugurated by the coun-
Gil several months ago for identifying and
cleaning up the villages and roadsides Of
the Sandy Spring area was reported by
the committee in charge to have made
progress. II was stated that the United
States Department of Agriculture would
be willing to send out an expert TO look
the neighborhood over and make sugees-
request of the department.
The committee named several months
ago to take the necessary steps to provide
cement tanks at Sandy Spring and Olney
for storing water for fire fighting reported
that the Sandy Spring tank is ready for
use and that the movement for tank at
0lney had met with some obstacles. but
that progress is now being made.
The large sign posts which a special
committee recently decided to erect at
Ashton and Olney. giving the direction and
distances from those points to Washing
ton and Baltimore. we're reported ready to
be put in place and that they would be
erected within the next few days.
The meeting considered a proposition
that the council affiliate with the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation and G..
Rust Candy and Josiah W. Jones, presi-
dent and vice president respectively. were
named to investigate and advise what
should be done.

ing decided to sponsor a movement for
the erection at Poolesville of a cement
tank for storing water for fire-f fighting pur-
poses. and the president. John E. 0xley.

Vim. W. Mcintyre. Mrs. G. Robert Cray,
Marshall Herspereer and Mrs. Benjamin
White to give the matter early atten-
ton and report at the next meeting of
the league.
The discussion developed that a desir-
able site would probably be donated and
that water would have to be pumped from
nearby wells or a new well to be sunk and
that the seepase and evaporation could
be cared for by piping water from the roof
Of a nearby building. The feeling seemed
to be that the project could be financed
without great difficulty.
The meeting was addressed by F. Bar

and Mr.. McClintOck. Of the National Red
