Rockville A. A. Basketers
To Open 1910 Season

Bolstered by the addition of
two new, but very able and ex-
perienced players, the Rockville
A. A. unlimited basketball team
will open 1910 with hopes of
climbing even higher in the realm
of amateur basketball than any
point which they have attained in
past years.
Billy Mitchell isn't an absolute
newcomer, for many Rockville
fans will remember him as one of
the mainstays of the 1936-37
quint. when the local club was the
victor in 80 out of 80 encounters.
Before coming to Rockville in '36
mitch" played ball with the Will
son Teachers five in Washington.
Last year he played with United
Typewriters, the champs of the
Heurich League.
The other addition is "Reds"
McCoskey, a rangy center who
halls from the state Of Tennessee.
"Reds" has played several games
with Rockville and his floor play
ing and "under-the-basl1et" work
have shown that he really rated
to play with the high school
champs and with Maryville Col
lege in the same state.
Rockville should be able to
mold quint which will rank with
the best in Washington and Balti-
more with these two and the
already capable squad of Fred
Lanier, Hershy Hershberger, Sully
Mills, Karl Becker, Jack Mark
land, Bob Lee, Moose Wootton,
"Smitty" Smith, Merle Miller,
Bucky Anders, and Paul Sheckles.

We, the taxpayers, who live on

desire to express publicly our
appreciation to the County Com
missioners for this most beneficial
piece of work.
The accomplishment of this en-
ables us to travel conveniently
over a road that has for many
years been one of the worst obsta-
cles we have had to encounter.
1t is the route for the rural mail
carrier, the school bus which
travels it twice a day during the
term of school, and is the only
means of ingress and egress for
the inhabitants of the community.
A few months ago, we con-
fronted these capable men in a
group and requested them to con-
struct maidstone road over this
stretch to allow us to get out
during the winter months, which
has been almost an utter impossi-
bility. We did not ask for a road,
the construction of which, would
require a great expense. We
fully realized that there were
other roads in the county in a
sinailass cEndltiSa and desired to
see our friends and neighbors
helped out Of the mud in like
manner. We were not ignorant
to the fact that our Commission
ers were laboring under the han
dicap of lack of funds, and had
a number of these similar roads
to construct. We did, however,
realize that the laying Of hard
stone on these by-roads, which
lead off the main roads, would not
place upon the county a large ex-
pense, but would subserve great
purpose. The Commissioners re-

Save Youngsters
From Pneumonia,
Health Body Asks
Gives Hints On Prevention
Of Infections; Warns
Against Neglect Of Colds

Campaigning to prevent pneu-
monia, as well as to provide cures
for cases that already have de-
veloped, the State Department of
Health this week issued a set of
hints On how to avoid infection of
youngsters.
The advice, prepared by DR.. r.
H. Riley, director of the depart
ment, follows:
"Most of US know how serious
pneumonia is, but not everyone
realizes that it is particularly
dangerous for babies and young
children. A child under one year
of age who has pneumonia is
very much more likely to die than
an older child.
Through the use of the new
drug, sulfapyridine, doctors and
health workers hope to save many
lives this year, which would have
been lost in the past. The drug
will be available all over the
State and the State Department
of Health has worked out plans
to help doctors in efforts ITO. use
it effectively and safely.
Improvement in treatment will
mean saving many lives, but
many more could be saved if the
children were protected against
contracting pneumonia in the first
place.
"a few precautions should be
followed: No person with a cold
should be allowed to handle or even
come close to baby. The rule
should apply to relatives as we'll as
friends. If the mother, or other
person taking care of the baby,
has cold, she should wear a mask
and be especially careful about
washing her hands before touching
the baby.
at is well known that children
who are in general good health are
in a much better position to fight
off an infection than those not in
the best condition. The best and
surest way to secure good health
for a child is to keep him or her
under the regular supervision of a
doctor or a baby clinic In this
way one can be certain that the
child is getting the right kinds of
food and the vitamins that insure
good health.
"If a cold should develop in a
child, it is not safe to place reli-
ance on the well advertised cold
cures or so-called plans Such
preparations are usually valueless
and in some instances may do
harm. Nose drops should never be
used for a child except under a
doctors orders.
"The baby who has fever or Sc
we're cough or is refusing food
needs doctor without unnecessary
delay. Time wasted in trying home
remedies or patent medicines may
greatly impair the doctors chances
to use really effective treatment,
such as sulfapyridine.
"In short, insure good general
health by having the child under
regular supervision; do everything
possible to prevent colds; if cold
does develop do not use medicines
'rubs' or drops except under
Doctors orders; if the child seems
i'll, call the doctor without delay"

To the People of Maryland

AS GOVERNOR of the State, extend to each
and every one of our people my best wishes
for happy, prosperous and safe New Year, with
the hope that the end of 1910 may find us as a
people far-advanced along the road to spiritual
social and economic betterment
Particularly do venture the hope that 1910
will be year of greatly improved safety for our
people and that, through the application of those
principles OF safety with which we have all be-
come familiar during these past three months,
and which will be stressed contnuingly, we may
be able to affect sizeabe reduction in the total
of fatal and serious accidents upon our highways
and streets
In conclusion, / make the request, and
sincerely trust, that we may all work together
during this coming year, regardless of partisan
or other consideration, to advance the interests
of our State whole, and to assure for all of
us the great benefits that are possible from con-
certed, forward-looking efforts on the part of
everyone.
