Club Hostess At
Fair Hill" Farm
Miss Dove Talks On
Herbs; Japanese Beetle
Control Discussed

"Fair Hill", the beautiful home
of Mrs. Edwin Fry, Laytonsville
was the August meeting place OF
the Neighborhood Garden Club last
week.
After a delicious and tempting
luncheon with Mrs. Fry, Mrs. Chas
E. Crawford and Mrs. Earl Viii.
liams as hostesses, the club pro.
ceeded in its regular form.
Lecturing on "Herbs and Hert
Gardens, Miss Beulah Dove, Of
Rockville, effectively illustrated 30
different varieties, precluding her
talk with the following familiar
lines:
1.-THE song of the bird for mirth,
The kiss of the sun for pardon
But one is nearer Gods heart in q
garden
Than anywhere else on EARTH"
Conducting the business session,
Mrs. Lewis Reed, second vice pres
ident, led the discussion Of the Jap
anese beetle control.
Mrs. Herman Wilson, chairman
of the beetle control committee
presented report of their findings
which was read by the club secre-
tary, Mrs. Bates, Etchison. A letter
from George s. Langford, insect
control specialist, University of
Maryland, indicated the beetle con-
troll season nearly over, SO the
clubs approval to spray for con-
troll was postponed another year.
This method Of control was first
recommended by the club several
months ago and would supplement
the beetle traps that are now in
use. The use of arsenate Of lead,
it was commended, would effectively
grub-proof lawns for five years.
The September meeting will be
held the second Wednesday instead
of the third.

nature shall be in alignment

"The law imposes upon this COM
mission the duty to supervise as
sessments of all property in the
counties and cities of this State,

"This letter should not be con-

only motive is to bring to your at

quirement for similar treatment to
all citizens so as to spread the
burden of taxation as far as pos
sible upon those who are subject
to taxation"
Mr.. Levin informed the county
authorities that the Attorney Cen
eral has ruled that protests on

legally be heard and acted upon

Snag Hits Plans
To Extend 10Th
Street To North
Battle Over Rights Of Way
In WOodside Gives Breath
ing Spell OF Rockville
Pike Opponents

The smoldering campaign to ex-
tend 18th street and eventually
make it new route to Gettysburg
began to flame little this week
but in a manner comforting to
residents of the Rockville pike
area and other sections Of the
western county where the 10th
street project is regarded with dis
favor.
Sixteenth street got into the
headlines when a property owner
in Woodside threatened to take
legal action against the board Of
county commissioners if they at
tempted to prevent him from
building houses on property he
owns directly in the right Of way
of the proposed extension.
The property owner is Rozier J.
Beech whose land is Immediately
north of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad tracks. Mr.. Beech charged
that although the county commits
sioners apparently have no plans
for the work in the immediate
future, the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Conn
mission has refused to grant him
permission to build.
If Mr.. Beech or some other
property owner in t.at neighbor-
hood is successful, the result might
be that the extension Of the high
way would be permanently halted.
At the present time the street Il
blocked by the railroad tracks and
If sufficient building il done north
of the railroad tracks, 1t may be
found too expensive to consider
the extension.
This result is what many land
owners along other routes leading
out of the county are hoping for,
and it likewise is just exactly what
the park and planning commission
is trying to prevent. If the rights
of way are purchased now the sit
uation will remain constant
threat to traffic along the
Rockville pike and other sections
leading to the west, since the 10th
street route is expected to shorten
the distance to Gettysburg by
about IA miles.
