Health Department Stresses Aid
Following Flood In March Report
No Typhoid Cases Followed High Water In Montgomery
AS Proper Sanitary Methods Prevented Commun
cable Diseases-First County Clinic For
Crippled Children April 30

DIR. v. L. Ellicott, in charge o.
county health in Montgomery, ha:
stressed the fact in his March report
that no typhoid cases or other danger,
-ous diseases have followed in the wake
of the food waters which struck com.
f1nunities along the Seneca and Pc.
tomac Rivers. The report follows in
part:
The Board of Health of
Montgomery County
Rockville, Maryland.
Gentlemen:
beg to submit to you the following
report of the Health Department for
the month of March 1886.
Potomac Flood-The Health De-
partment cooperated with the County
Red Cross in disease prevention
among Potomac River flood refugees
"A sanitary survey of the Island and
River front was made by the Health
Department Sanitary Inspector i'm
AAnCuAdICly d1CCL IuS uOOu, anu 1OI-
-warded it to the State Department of
Health. Residents were notified not to
drink water from the flooded wells.
Seventeen persons at Seneca were
given series of typhoid NEGOTIATIONS.
Thirty-one others, principally in
Cabin John and Glen Echo, were given
one or two inoculations, but did not
complete their treatments because of
moving to other addresses. No cases
of typhoid fever have yet been report
ed among flood victims, and now that
thirty-three days have elapsed since
the flood, it is highly probable that
none will occur.
The Health Department is cooper
rating with other agencies in discour-
aging the reoccupying of unsanitary
houses affected by the flood and in
ssisting on proper sanitation of them.
The assistance of the C. C. C. men
in burying and burning carcasses
along the river is much appreciated
Two companies from camps near
Washington, working under the direc-
ton of Major A. A. Williams, have
been assigned, one to the Maryland
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1936-04-24

side of the river and one to the
Islands and the Virginia side. In many
cases the carcasses were buried in
huge piles of debris, thus hindering
the clean up work and making it very
difficult.
| Dental Clinic-The Dental Clinic
held eight sessions during the month,
doing the following work:
Children treated, TO-; Filings, 1928;
Extractions, 100; Prophylactic treat
ments, SO.
The Clinic changed from basis of
one day per week to two days per
week on March 10th. The children
treated came from East Silver Spring,
Woodside, Sherwood and Parkside
schools. The April Clinics are taking
children from Bethesda and Cabin
John-Glen Echo schools.
Crippled Children-The first County
Clinic for Crippled Children has been
scheduled for April Both, at the
County Hospital in Sandy Spring. The
American Legion is sponsoring the
Clinic by furnishing transportation of
children to and from the Clinic, and
by the purchasing of braces and 9TH
er appliances for needy children.
School Examinations-Rout ex-
aminations were made of 383 children
in the following schools: Somerset,
Damascus, Parkside, Redland, Alta
Vista, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring.
At these examinations, each parent
of the elementary school children is
invited to be present at the examina-
ton in order to talk to the Doctor
about the childs condition. Only 1870
of the parents took the advantage of
the opportunity during the month,
but it is hoped that as time goes on,
increasing number will do so.
Diphtheria Immunization - Schick
tests were given to pre-school and
school children in the elementary
schools of Chevy Chase, Bethesda,
and Alta Vista, and toxoid
was given to colored children at River
Road and Scotland. This is being done
on a schedule which will complete all
school districts of the county by
June LIST, and will give an opportunity |
for Diphtheria Immunization to every
child in Montgomery County. A par
ocular good response to this effective
means of preventing Diphtheria is be-
ng shown in the small rural school
districts. In a number of places, over
$50 of the children are taking the
and since April LIST, the
.olored school district at Brighton re-
iponded to the extent of 1000 of it's
school and its pre-school children.
Milk Regulations-The condition of
he County diaries remains good, even
hough it is found necessary to lower
he grades of an average of about one
larry per month. During the month
he town of Damascus was placed on
grade A basis and now it is possible
% obtain this milk from any one of
he several dealers. Previously, there
had been so little milk consumed in
this community that grade A milk
was not available.
Hog Pens-Reports from the SAM |
bary Inspectors showed that the two |
hog pens on River Road,
next to Kenwood entrance were dis
continued at the end of the month.
Personalities Ruth Brooks will
begin her duties as Public Health
Nurse on April 81, her position being
financed by Social Security Funds.
Miss Hester Vetter was appointed
April 1 as temporary clerk assisting
in the Office during the illness of Mrs.
Thompson.
Respectfully submitted,

He built a home west of and

Often Visited Farm
While most Of his summers dur
ing childhood and youth were
spent with the MoSsman grand
parents, either in Greenville or
Chautauqua. or both, young Ian
don was a frequent visitor at the
farm Of the Grandparents Ian
don. While these visits were
shorter. they seem to have been
more productive of Alfred Landon
lore.
On one occasion Grandmother
Landon made the remark that
little Alfred "could do anything
he took a notion to-" The young
grandson grinned and replied: "I
might take a notion to be Presi-
dent some day" To this Grand
ma added "they want to look out
II he does take the notion"
Governor Landon doesn't re-
member expressing any such de-
termination and is inclined to
consider this apochryphal but one
OF his cousins tells me she heard
him say it.
It was also on the Landon
farm tn a t young Landon fore
shadowed some Of the quick
thinking and executive ability
that characterized him in after
life. Grandmother Landon was
counting eggs to be sent to the
nearest general store. She asked
Alfred to see if he could find one
more. Soon there was a clamo.
In the chicken house and all
hands ran out to see what had
happened and there was the
young grandson, very red in the
lace, determinedly holding a
squawking hen on a nest. Just
as Grandmother arrived the hen
flew into the air and Alfred tri.
umphantly held up the new-laid
egg. -'

cized for Hegood's demotion.
Because the Presidents trip

arranged for Hagood to meet the

Oil City, who died a few years
later and was the mother of his
eldest daughter. This brings an.
other county-Venango-into the
picture. m later years he spent
some of his vacation periods in
Allegheny and Somerset counties
so that in each of the five Key
stone Stats counties there are suf-
ficient eligibles for sizeable 1.
Knew-Hlm-When clubs.
When Landon was less than
seven years of age. his sister
Helen, the only other child in
the family, died at the age Of
five years at the family home in
Marietta. Ohio, and was buried
in the Shenango Valley cemetery
at Greenville as was his mother,
who died at Chatauqua, N. Y,
and his grandfather, Rev. vii.
liam H. MoSsman, who passed
away at Greenville.
This left but one near relative
in Greenville, Grandmother Moss
man, and though the John Lam
dons had meanwhile moved to
Kansas, young ALI never failed to
make at least one visit a year to
his Grandmother MoSSman, who,
as we have said, was remark
able woman. and died at the age
of SO. In her eighties and nine
ties, Mrs. Mossman, without a
companion of any sort, made
trips to California and enjoyed
life as fully and alertly as q
girl.
Young Landon took a deep in
terest in politics in his teens.
The summer of 1905 was largely
spent in Greenville. and his chief
interest was in the election of
Theodore Roosevelt. Almos. daily
he rode about town in the de-
livery truck of a hardware store
and his figure, topped by a T. r.
campaign hat. became familiar to
Greenville people as the name Of
the old hardware concern.
