Dairy Farms To
Adopt New Forms
For Score Sheets
County Commissioners Favor
Change Proposed BY County
Health Officer

Modelled after the scoring arrange
ment employed by the District of Co
lumbia Health Department, sheet
was prepared and presented to the
commissioners at their meeting Tues
day in answer to a widespread APP
peal which dairymen have made for q
revision of the milk regulations and
the inauguration of such system in
this county.
DR.. V. L. Ellicott, county health
officer told the commissioners he
proposed to combine the use of the
new score sheet which is much more
simplifed method of grading farms
than the present system, with the
grading system Of the United States
Public Health Service code, by max
ing all items Of the code required
items in the county regulations.
However, he said a dairyman should
not be regarded for violating a re-
quired item unless he has had oppor-
tunity to correct the condition con-
shutting such violation, but should
be degraded Immediately if his score
at any inspection falls below 80 for
grade A. The score sheet limit for
grade B would be 70 and so for grade
C milk.
DR.. Ellicott, who plans to mail out
copies of the new sheet to all dairy
farms in the county, proposed that
no changes be made in the bacterial
count limits for the various grades
and kinds of milk or cream.
The counts for retail or shipping
raw milk will, however, be expressed
as the direct count by the Colony
method. In the past, direct counts
have been made by the individual
method and the counts divided by s
before reporting to the dairy The
Colony count, however, is believed to
be a better method and more closely
parallel to the plate count method. he
asserted.
The health officer said grading will
be based on the logarithmic average
OF the last four counts instead of on
four or more counts in one grading
period, and upon the average temper
allure of the last four temperatures
taken.
DR.. Ellicott disclosed during his dis
cussion with the board that county
dairymen for brief time were threat
ened with the loss of market for
their products when DR.. George C.
Rutland, District of Columbia health
officer, informed them that no further
inspection of their pasteurization
plants could be made by his DEPART
ment.
It was arranged, however, for the
District to accept the county inspec-
ton, DR.. Ellicott said. The health
officer declared that the Districts
acceptance of the county inspection
would tend to refute recent allega-
tons that the local inspection was
not efficient.

AS WE SEE 1T
By MoNTco
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HAS

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HAS
brought about great deal Of critic
ism on his western trip. But, we still
have to hear anything that bespeaks
of real constructive thought against
the Democratic administration. It is
easy to call out the apparent faults
in the New Deal.
So far the Republican leaders have
failed to show anything which can
possibly take the place of Mr.. F. D.
RS proposals. The G. 0. P. has no
one in mind to carry the banner in the
next presidential election. That is
widely understood. However we may
disagree with Mr.. Roosevelt and the
New Deal, is there any alternative
worthy of notice to be brought before
the electorate?

Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1935-10-03

WE UNDERSTAND THAT the
Rockville Chamber of Commerce will
elect new officers at the annual meet
ing tonight. Many business men OPP
pose the present set-up because of
alleged political connections. This is
a real opportunity for those opposing
this allegation to meet and defeat any
claim so alleged. We put forth the
name of George Lamar for the presi-
dency Of the Chamber of Commerce,
This claim is based on no political
motives but solely upon the merits of
the candidate in question.
He has always been interested in
questions before the Chamber of Com
merce. His ideas have always been in
dicative of the prevailing thought OF
the subject in question, whether it be
popular or not. Mr.. Lamar has been
faithful and regular member of the
Chamber of Commerce. He is entitled
to the presidency.

EVERY DAY, IN EVERY WAY
BUSINESS is picking up. There is
no question that the local merchants
and business men see a clear and
shining light through the mist. We
believe that the present administra-
ton has accomplished more in two
years than the Hoover administration
dared hope.
We also believe that the time for
government interference is over and
that the so-called era of prosperity is
here. The business man of today has
been taught his lesson. He should be
left to work out the salvation of
national-wide economies. If nothing
else, the NRA taught the spirit of CO.
operation among business men. It
may have been and perhaps was, too
far-fetched, but at least it reminded
us of the Golden Rule, an axiom
which had been long forgotten by
business men in many of our COM
munities.
Next week the Milo Theatre will
open and thereby more new business
will be encouraged to come to Rock
vile. Page the Rockville Chamber Of
Commerce.

NIAGARA FALLS
 BEING BLASTED

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 19.-- OUP)-Explosives rocked Niagara Falls to-day, removing approxi- mately 200 tons of shale from table rock" on the rim of the famous Horseshoe Falls. The dyna- miting was preliminary to exten- sive blasting next month to remove Q section of the Niagara gorge rock, weakened by the erosive power of the falls.
 With a tremendous roar, the ex- plosives of the honeymoon site, shattered huge rocks and started a minor landslide down the gorge to the bottom of the falls. It was the beginning of the work in the removal of table rock ledge, al- ready doomed, according to off, cials, by erosion. Comparatively few persons watched the dynamit- ing because officials had kept the date, secret, hoping to avoid acci- dents. Everything went off as scheduled.
 About 25 laborers participated Thirty holes were drilled in the weakened ledge. Sticks of dyna- mite attached to long fuses were substituted for the shale rock. Large railroad ties were placed across the top of the holes. At a given signal, the switches were pressed. The gorge echoed with the roar. The ties were catapu- lated into the air and tons of rock went sailing down to the bottom of the falls.

FORCES OF HUEY
 LONG REBUKED

Chicago. June 19--(UP) - Ad- voca;es of Huey Longs share the wealth" movement today attempted to intervene on behalf of Father Charles E. Coughlin in the Detroit radio priests suit to obtain the use of Soldier field.
 Judge James J. Kelly took the matter under advisement after both
 Samuel A. Ettelson, Coughlin's att torney, and William Wilson, coun- sel for the Park Board, objected vigorously.
 The action for Longs organiza- ton was taken by Attorney Paul S. Davis. He told the court that although the share the wealth so- ciety does not endorse all the ideas of Father Coughlin, 1t Is interested in the rights of free speech and free assembly.
 We want to conduct our own law suit" Ettleson told Judge Kelly. "If Huey Long wants to get a permit to use Soldier field let him bring his, own lawsuit. We don't need any help"

 "Jimmy's father was born in Motteram, Cheshire, and If that isn't in England, where Is Il? Tim asked, in repeating his claims the new champion is no Irishman. "The Braddocks lived in Motterani for generations, and Jim Is no more an Irishman than am."
 Uncle Tim," said Jim's father and he were members of the Man chester city police force for years. Some 40 years ago Jim's father went to the United States, where the champion was born.
