MORALE is HIGH

The admiral stated that the
morale of the personnel of the
Navy was higher today than at
any time in his recollection. and
the zeal of the men, as well as
the officers. was at a higher pitch
than ever before.
The condition of the men has
been tremendously improved. They
take an interest in their work.
They are well-fed, well.treated,
and, above all, there is q tre-
mendous chance for advancement.
All this, the writer was able to
corroborate by personal observa-
ton.
The admiral praised the wisdom
of Congress in opening 100 places
annually in the United States
Naval Academy to enlisted men
by competitive examination and
said it was a wonderful stimulus
to ambitious youngsters.
STUDY ON HOLIDAYS
On a tour Of the ship the writer
came upon some eight youngsters
from ratings to simple gobs sitting
around a table in the recreation
reading room, "boning" together
for the forthcoming examinations
to Annapolis. And this in spite
of the fact it was a half holiday
and boats were leaving the side
loaded with gobS for shore liberty.
Asked what the condition Of the
fleet was now-for fighting-the
admiral said top notch!" While
he said there was nothing unusual
in the training routine that made
it differ from other years, the
fleet was at the accumulative
stage in its training and in good
form. 1t was another high officer
of the New Mexico who told me
later:
We're ready to go. If we
got the call, this whole outfit
that you see here could steam
outside inside of half an hour
and go to work"
LOVES HIS NAVY
Questioned about naval aviation
and whether our Navy flierS were
not the best in the world, Admiral
Bloch said thoughtfully:
Before one could make a
comparison, it would be neces-
Sary to know more, about the
others, but can say this, that it
is hard to see how any one can
be much better. The Navy flierS
are fine young men, who are
carried away with zeal for work
and efficiency. They have a
spirit all their own that is
wonderful"
The admiral loves and believes
in his Navy.

Hole Celebrates
5th Anniversary OF
Accomplishments
100000 Borrowers Making Sat-
isfactOry Payments; FOreclOs-
ures Below Average

With more than 10000 borrowers
making satisfactory payments bor-
rowers who a few years ago were
faced with the almost certain loss of
their homes-the Home Owners Loan
Corporation reaches its fifth ami
versary Monday with great part of
its work accomplished.
Looking back to the troubled days
when the HOLC granted it's loans,
when the average borrower was two
years delinquent in both principal and
interest on his then existing mort
gage and far in arrears in taxes, Gen.
eral Manager Charles A. Jones re-
vealed records which show three
fourths Of the million harassed per-
sons who sought aid are on the road
to debt-free home ownership. More
than 100000 others still are being
aided in their struggle, while more
than 10000 already have paid their
loans in full.
"The home owner has been proved
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1938-06-23

good security" said Mr.. Jones. "Many
arguments are being offered the home
buyer today-arguments that he
should take advantage of the best
terms and the lowest interest rates
ever offered. Those arguments are
true. At the same time, it should be
pointed out that American home own
ers have shown they deserve and can
be trusted to carry out those liberal
lied contracts. The records of the
Hole are adequate proof"
"The experience of the Hole not
only has shown that present home
owners are determined to keep their
properties, but that there is a re-
newed desire for home ownership
said Mr.. Jones. "This has been
brought about by the new conditions
for which Hole has been largely re-
sponsible.
"In the old days, a great share Of
American home seekers never ex-
pected to completely own their prop
critics. They assumed not only one
mortgage, but usually two and some
times three. They usually paid off the
second and third, with extortionate
fees, but renewed the first mortgage
time and time again.
"The Hole popularized the direct
reduction loan. It introduced 5 per
cent interest rate. It helped abolish
the second mortgage. Its borrowers
are becoming home owners in the
complete sense-and the home seeker
today is getting advantage Of the
same processes. These modern con-
tracts, all favorable to the home
seeker, have renewed the desire for
home ownership"

Keeping The Babies
Well In Summer
Advice From State Depart
ment's Bureau OF Child
Hygiene

Some of the ways by which
mothers can help to keep their babies
well and comfortable during the hot
weather are explained in the accom-
panying bulletin from the Bureau of
Child Hygiene of the State Depart
inent of Health. Here they are:
"The coming of the warm weather
means good times ana better health
for most of US. Little babies, however,
face great dangers unless their par
ents are extremely careful. The dread
summer diarrhea' sometimes known
as cholera infantum' is ready to take
a toll of infant lives.
"Thirty years ago, forty out of
every thousand babies died of this
disease before they reached their
first birthday. Now, there are only
one fifth as many deaths from sum-
mer complaint, in proportion to the
number of babies. Our record has
improved much but the disease is still
a source of great danger to young
children. There were over sixty
deaths from this cause among babies,
in Baltimore, last year and over twice
that number in the counties. Many of
these lives are lost unnecessarily and
could be saved if the proper preven-
tative measures were taken.
"The cause of the disease, in the
great majority of cases, is a germ
which finds its way into the baby's
food. It is plain that the child who is
nursed by the mother is best pro-
tected against infection. Every effort
should be made to encourage breast
feeding wherever possible.
IF mothers milk is not available,
the best substitute is fresh cows
milk, or, unsweetened evaporated
milk mixed with an equal quantity of
water. Sugar and additional water.
if any is to be added, should be mixed
with the milk according to the direc-
tons of doctor. All milk Or milk
mixtures given to children up to the
age of two years should be boiled.
"The utmost cleanliness must be
observed during the preparation and
storage of the milk mixture. All pots,
pans, bottles and nipples must be
sterilized by boiling. The person who
prepares the milk mixture must wash
her hands carefully before starting.
"Flies are carriers of disease
germs. Strict precautions must be
taken to see that they do not get to
the baby or the milk at any time.
The baby's bottle should not be left
in the baby's crib because the nipple
is sure to get dirty. The crib should
be screened or covered with mosquito
netting.
'Tn every county in Maryland there
are public health nurses ready and
eager to help any mother with advice
or suggestions. One need only to call
or write to the County Health Officer
and the nurse will do her best to help.
Gust a little care may mean the
difference between life and death to
the baby"
