A Piece of Wood
Prize Contribution
BY LUCILLE JAMES, IA,

Hyattsville School.
It's just little piece of wood
With a stick of lead run through,
But oh! So many things it writes
A letter from me to you.
Announcement of a little child,
Somebody's JOY and pride;
Announcement of coming mar
riage,
A couple, groom and bride.
A pencil writes so many things,
All the worlds JOY and sorrow;
1t tells about the past and present,
And what we expect tomorrow.

CANNING HOUSE REFUSE
FATAL TO CREEK FISH

The Frederick News publishes the
following:
Pollution from a canning factory at
Keymar has killed number Of fish
in Double Pipe Creek, tributary Of
the Monocacy river, according to an
investigation by J. Floyd Diffendal,
Westminster, Carroll County game
warden. A warning was issued to
Paul Lawyer, superintendent Of the
cannery, last week, Diffendal said,
and prosecution will follow If the con-
dition isn't remedied this week.
The game warden said last Tues
day night that he discovered num-
Der of dead fish floating in the stream
Friday and traced the course of the
pollution to the canning factory at
Keymar. He explained that waste
from the factory has been flowing into
the creek every year, but because OF
the protracted dry spell the stream
didn't have sufficient water to carry
it off this summer.
Diffendal said he found about 30
dead fish in the vicinity Of a bridge.
Most of them were Mississippi catfish
and suckers and there were several
black bass. The game warden said
he believed the pollution filtered out
by the time it reached the Monocacy
- l:Jx,& Iov,,o ~ q vino 1ifa in that
stream. The Monocacy is about a
mile and a half from the scene Of the
pollution.
Officials of the cannery are report
ed to have said they would remedy
the condition. Diffendal said last
Tuesday that the matter will be placed
in the hands Of the State Conserva-
ton Commission for action If the vio-
lation continues.
Reports that a number Of ducks
belonging to a man near Detour, has
been killed by consuming the pollu-
ted water, couldn't be confirmed.
Each year one or more streams in
this section are polluted, destroying
thousands of fish, minnows and minute
stream life. Last spring, thousands
of suckers and few bass were killed
in a small tributary Of Carroll creek,
west of Frederick, when solvent used
in cleaning a swimming pool was wash
ed into the stream.

TWENTY KIDS
SPEND SUMMER
AT CAT0CTM
Camp GreentOp Opened After
School Closed In June;

der the supervision Of the State Ser
vices for Crippled Children were a.
mong the youngsters who spent the
summer at the camp conducted by the
Maryland League for Crippled Chill
dren in the Catoctin Recreation Area
Of the National Parks Service in the
Blue Ridge Mountains near Thurmont.
All of the children were appreciably
benefited by the experience.
The camp-appropriately known as
Camp Greentop-opened soon after
the schools closed in June, and closed
for the season on August "a. There
were So children in attendance, 76
from Baltimore City and the rest from
the counties. The total was about
evenly divided between boys and girls.
Twelve counties-Allegany, Anne
Arundel Baltimore, Caroline, Char
les, Frederick, Garrett, Prince George,
Queen Anne, Washington, Wicomico
and Worcester-were represented in
the enrolment from outside Balti-
more city. The children ranged in
age from eight to sixteen years.
This was the third season for the
Maryland Camp which is occupied un-
der special arrangements with the Ma
tional Parks Service. It is said to be
the only one for crippled children in
the Federal Parks Service. The camp
is situated at an elevation of 1000
feet and occupies about 25 acres of
well-cleared forest land with good
roads and carefully tended trails. The
buildings are scattered over an open
plateau which makes the getting a.
bout easy for the youngsters using
crutches or wearing braces. A swim
ming pool just the proper depth for
the children, is a center Of attraction.
All Of the buildings are rustic, sub
stantially constructed, simply but at
tractively furnished and well adapted
to the purposes for which they are
used. There is a central dining room
and large recreation hall, with a big
stone open fire place; a large well
equipped kitchen, an administration
building; twelve or more cabins which
serve as dormitories; bath houses /;
handicraft and recreation houses; and
the infirmary. The infirmary equip
ment was the gift of the American
Legion Auxiliary Of the Department
of Maryland.
Record is kept in the administration
building of the orthopedic require
ments of each child, and the days
schedule of supervised play, or rest,
and of exercise, is arranged in accord
ance with these recommendations.
Swimming meets are part of the
fun; nature study adds to the enjoy
ment of the woods; interesting skills
are acquired during the hours in the
handicraft house; and there is even
camp orchestra.
The staff for the season that has
Just closed included the director, Mr..
Ernest Marx, the assistant director,
Miss Irja Ryssey, and Mr.. Raymond
Donaldson, assistant in charge Of the
boys. The camp personnel also in
cluded the resident physician, train
ed nurse, two physiotherapists and
twenty-four couselors, twelve for the
boys and the same number for the
girls.

Tracking Sabotage

No one will blame the citizens of this country for being suspicious of possible sabotage while war is in progress abroad. Every rurnor of destruction by enemies of the government should be checked by the proper authorities.
 Such vigilance can, however, be car ried too far. It can breed, within the breasts of factory workers, groundlesS suspicious concerning their fellow-em- ployes. Unchecked, such an attitude on the part of American workers can cause untold distress to perfectly good citizens whose only fault may be that they have a German name or slight foreign ac- cent.
 So far, there have been numerous rumors of sabotage; there has been al- most no evidence If foreign agents in this country were as abundant as the re- ports would indicate, American factories already would be reduced to shambles.

Big Pollution Problem

East Hartford is seeking admission to the so-called Metropolitan District which includes those towns surrounding Hart ford. They are united for such practical purposes as one joint system of water supply, and such other modern civic lm- provernents as are demanded today One thing, however, that East Hartford has to do to qualify for membership in the district is providing an adequate. sewage disposal system or else linking itself to the Metropolitan Districts very marvel ous plant already in operation.
 This latter plan has the approval or State Water Commissioner Sanford H. WadhamS who believes that elimination of stream pollution is regional problem and not one confronting merely the ln- dividual community. We have long been of the same idea and have spoken hope fully of the day when communities ln the Naugatuck Valley can unite to solve this common problem Only when the towns from Torrington right down to Ansonia and Derby resolve that they will all to- gether modernize and put into operation sewage plants that will end the dumping of raw sewage into the Naugatuck River will our valley problem be solved.
 We have suggested from time to time associations and conferences of city and town officials, but other problems seem to have been uppermost always. Yet there is a recognition even right here in our own city, that the old methods of sewage disposal must ultimately end and the modern replace them. To that end We have been devoting some efforts the last ten years.
