USE CONTROL

With all plant life perking
up its head at a warmer sun,
with the air turned balmy and
kind to shoots and sprouts
making Roadway into full
growth, people begin to con-
centrate on the protection of
this new life from insects
which follow, as the night
the day. These pests destroy
hundreds of millions of dol
lars in crops, every year. No
section of the country is free
from them. The government
spends many millions of dol
lars warning against insects
and if man did not win in
this fight, it would mean that
all men, would starve to
death. The spraying or dust
ing by plane and giro is very
effective and used in all parts
of the land. Every grower,
be he on a large scale or a
gardener with a small bed in
a city lot, must guard against
some kind of plant infection.

realizes her impotence in the
face of the available war
fight on display by Messrs.
Hitler and Mussolini. Eng
land is trying to create a
peace bloc in Europe. She is
resorting to CONSUMPTION and
is spending billions for de-
tense. This is the govern
ment's method of instilling a
desire for peace in the hearts
and minds of the followers of
Hitler and II Duce. 1t seems
that this method, after all,
is the most practical way of
bringing about an evasion to
war, sentiment and pathos to
the contrary.

HONOR THY MOTHER

An Englishman was rather
asounded by the observance
of so many special days"
and asked why we set aside
these occasions if not purely
for mercenary reasons. Our
reply was that it seemed to
be the American way. We
admit being a sentimental
people, are rather proud of it,
even though it may be bad
taste to make a public DEM
onstration of private feelings.
But we cannot be censored
when the idea is purely of
respectful salutation. 1t is
true that the event has been
commercialized, and we re-
greet it, but there are those
who will not permit this to
spoil the deeper meaning.
The Ten Commandments
have been broken by most of
us. They have been thought
old-fashioned and overtaken
by a more streamlined civil
ization. But one of these
will never be denied by man,
Honor Thy Father and Thy
Mother. The worst of us,
who will heedlessly break and
scorn the other command
ments, cling to this family

JUVENILE COURT REPORTS ON

Children Taken Care OF For Various COmpIaintS

most of the mental testing, while Dr
Crowley, psychiatrist for the JuveniIo
Court, rendered most of the psvcbi..
trio services. Other psychiatrists who
have rendered assistance to the Court
over the past year are, DR.. r. w
Newell, DR.. Paul J. Ewerhardt and
DR.. Agnes Grieg.
The writer also wishes to call at.
tention to the fact that a statistical
report at the end of each calenda,
year is sent to the United States
Children's Bureau. In cases of COM
ritment a copy of the. commitment
and summary of the record is sent
to the Training School to which the
child is committed, and the same pro-
cedure is followed where commitment
is made to the Maryland Children's
Aid Society. A record is kept of all
Investigations and a social history
and more detailed record is made on
each child supervised by the probation
officer.
The work done by the probation
officer is of the greatest Importance.
Her duties are many and varied, and
the success of the Court largely de.
ponds upon her ability in the handling
of the cases that have been placed
under her supervision and direction. I
feel that the Court has been exceed
ingly fortunate in having a probation
officer of the type of Mrs. Wisner, and
that the success of her work is shown
to great degree in the growth of
the Court itself, as well as in the fact
that the functioning of the Court has
been relatively free from criticism.
In colosing this report l wish to
say that all the agencies in the county
have been most cooperative in the
assistance rendered by them to the
Court, and that it is largely through
this splendid cooperation and assist
ance that the Court has managed to
function successfully.
wish again to thank the Juvenile
Court Committee and the Probation
Officer for their kind assistance dur
ing my term of office, and to express
to them the pleasure which have en-
joyed in working with them during
the past four years.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS NJ. ANDERSON
Magistrate for Juvenile Gases
for Montgomery County.

Spotted Fever Cases
Reported In County

DIR. V. L. Ellicott, county health
officer, reports that spotted fever is
starting early in Montgomery County.
The first case was reported in April
and the second few days ago. The
average number for the county is six.
DIR. Ellicott has issued the following
statement:
Spotted fever, or tick fever as it is
sometimes called, comes usually as
result of bite from an infected tick.
The common dog tick or wood tick
prevalent in this area is responsible for
most cases. Fortunately only a small
percentage of the ticks are infected.
While there is no serum or drug
which is effective in the treatment OF
this disease, or as a prophylactic at
the time a person is bitten by a tick,
there are number of simple precau-
tons which greatly reduce the
chances of infection.
Inspection of the Body: Anyone
coming in contact with shrubbery or
other vegetation should inspect the
body before going to bed. The hair
above the back of the neck is the
most important region. Those heavily
exposed while on hikes, camping
trips, etc. should be inspected twice
day.
Clothing: Persons exposed to vege-
tation should wear protective clothing.
This means leggings or other articles
which prevent ticks from getting
under the clothing as they crawl up
the body from the feet and legs.
Handling Ticks: Do not crush ticks
in the fingers. Several persons have
been infected in that way. To be on
the safe side, use rubber gloves or
forceps in removing ticks from dogs.
Vaccine: If you cannot be sure of
removing ticks promptly from your
body and those of your children, con-
suit your physician regarding innocu-
iations with the spotted fever vaccine
prepared by the National Institute Of
Health. This is furnished to physici
ans without charge and is recommend
ed for those who are unavoidably ex-
posed to tick bites. The vaccine is
given in two doses and should be re-
peated at the beginning of the tick
season each year. 1t gives only par
tlal protection. It is also of value
only when given at least ten days
before tick bite and is therefore not
advised after the tick bite has alread>
occurred.
Measures to reduce the prevalence
Of ticks by cutting down and burning
brush and other vegetation has not
proved effective.

creed above all else. Despite
all the modern methods of
living and the forces work.
ing against it, the life of the
family survives. The family
that exists in a helter-skelter
world, involved and dis
tracted, goes on and counts
itself fortunate to have lost
everything else perhaps, but
not it's family life. 1t is to
the mothers of families to
whom we pay our honor, to
her we make our bows of re-
spect. The heart overflows
but the ink grows dry on the
pen. The tongue desires
speech but the words die on
the lips. The gift is a small
offering, but to a valiant soul.
The inspiration of poets and
song-writers, the subject for
painter and photographer,
may not want so much SEN
timent. But we continue to
honor mother and the insti-
tuition of our family life. We
cling to our sentiments,
which make us conscious of
the happiness and the misery
of others, the sentiment
which has it's seat in the
heart.

THE DUKES PLEA

The Duke of Windsor broke
a long silence this week when
he went on the air to make
a stirring plea for peace in
Europe. No one. listening to
him or reading his address,
could help but get at least
a measure of the apparent
sincerity which characterized
the Dukes message.
But, in the face of Great
Britain's re-arming. David
Windsor will probably get lit
tie applause from the big
wigs in his own native land.
It was a sincere effort-but
hardly in keeping with the
plans of the British Empire.

THE MONTH OF MAY is being
set apart by the churches for prayer
to the end that innocent lives may be
saved to better serve mankind. AS the
clear-thinking proponents of peace
put it: 1t seems so useless to shed
blood for the mere sake of extending
border lines. At what cost are women
and children made widows and or
phans and their homes destroyed: For
what gain do strutting columns march
