ADMISSION SECRETARY
AT FOUNDLINGS HOME

Children now are admitted directly
to the Washington Home for Found
lings under a new arrangement which
makes it unnecessary fer parents or
guardians to make application
through another agency
Through cooperation with the
Florence Crittenton Home, also
Community Chest agency, a trained
social worker, Miss Anne Rogers, now
devotes half her time to the Home for
Foundlings as admission secretary.
Miss Rogers formerly was with the
Washington Federation of Churches,
but has been the ''in-take" secretary
at the Florence Crittenton Home for
some time, it was announced yester-
day.
Many of the children ir the Wash
tngton Home for Foundlings have
parents, in some instances separated.
A few OF these pay moderate amounts
toward the care of their little ones
and this made necessary an admis-
sion secretary trained for such cases.
Admission to the home formerly
was obtained through application to
the Juvenile Protective Association or
some other child welfare organization.

Top Coat of Ice and Sleet

Garrett county, unable to shake off
"Old Man Winter" was blanketed
under four inches of snow on Tuesday
and was then given a top coating OF

into action to keep the highways clear
of the snow which drifted heavily on
account of a strong west wind which
was prevailing on Tuesday morning
The temperature on Tuesday went
as low as % degrees. Travel was made
extremely dangerous and fog added
to the perils.
