Hunters Arrested
For Hunting With
Magazine Shot Guns

fss9e .laifeerSs were arrested by
Game Warden Carol Waters and
brought before Judge Donald A.
DeLashmutt, trial magistrate at
Rockville and charged with the
violation of Section (e) of Article
20 of the Game Laws of Maryland
which reads in part as follows:
''It shall be unlawful to hunt,
pursue or kill any upland game of
any species, except deer, by means
of any automatic loading or hand
operated repeating shotgun cap
able of holding more than three
shells, the magazine of which has
not been cut off or plugged with a
one-piece metal or wooden filler in
capable of removal through the
loading end thereof, so as to re-
duce the capacity of said gun to
hot more than three shells at one
loading.
1t was brought out in the testi-
mony that the hunters were using
magazine guns not properly plug
ged as required by law. However,
Judge DeLashmutt dismissed the
charges on the ground that evil
dence show an attempt at compli-
ance with the law. None of the
cases showed more than three
shells in the guns, yet, DeLashmutt
explained a magazine must be COM
rletely plugged so no more than
8 shells can be placed in it at one
time.

MONTGOMERY
Nl SIDELICHTS

With the coming of cold wealth
er around the first of December,
we begin to smell the smoke of
outdoor fires, and to hear the
squealing of pigs, and we know
that hog KILN time" has come
again.
The old Montgomery way of
butehering was to kill the hogs
and render up" the leaf lard the
first day, cut up the meat, grind
the sausage meat, and make the
lard the second, while the third
day saw the pudding made, the
sausage fried down, the "small
meat" brined, the large pieces
sailed, (dry or sugar cured, as
the method might beg, scrapple
and other things made of the
by-products were also made that
day.
Neighbors, both men and wom-
en-, still gather to help each other.
The modern methods have greatly
reduced the hard work. Most
everyone takes their seasoned sau-
sage meat to commercial
grinder now, while in the old
days it was all done by small
hand grinder.
Several generation back many
Frederick County families came
here to live-and the one-day
method was introduced, much to
the horror of the folks who We're
sure that no meat could be good
if seasoned before the animal
heat" was out, strange to say it
did keep, and the method is still
used by the descendants of these
families.
We have to confess that while
o5g Elks 'ase the old shree day
way, we cannot tell the difference
when the ham is cooked and on
the table months later.
Likewise with the making of
usage-there are many varia-
tions of the basic recipes. Here
is a Montgomery one copied From
the spidery writing of one of
our grandmothers:
Mix with % lbs. of meat cut
for grinding: 1 scant cup salt, A
level tablespoons black pepper, A
of sage, and half a teaspoon of
led pepper (cayennes).
Grandmother Best's Fred. rick
County recipe calls for: % lbs.
of meat, l scant cup salt, 5 he, p
ing teaspoons black pepper, 5 of
sage, and one-half teaspoon
"kyan", 1 tablespoon of ginger
and "spec" of celery seed.
The addition of spices other
than pepper seems to have come
from the Pennsylvania Dutch, via
= Frederick. There are many
small changes according to indi-
vidual tastes, personally the
writer uses no sage.
We even find some communities
adding little brown sugar, which
needless to say is as Northern
as the addition of sugar to corn
bread.
We have had our attention
called to most interesting arti-
Gle in the December Farm Jour-
nal on lard, as the reason of low
hog and corn prices to the farmer.
That thirty or forty pounds of
fat that comes from every swine
is often sold for less per pound
than the live animal. Read it
we have not the space to do it

Richard
Montgomery
PIT. A. Meets
Plans Extended for New
School Building. County
Agencies to Move in Old
Building

Plans for new high school
building were presented before the
regular monthly meeting of the
Richard Montgomery High School
Parent Teacher Association.
Olcott L. Hooper, chairman of
the school plan committee, ex-
planned that the proposed building
would house about 900 pupils and
would cost between 100000 and
100000. These facts would be
included in the school building
program to be presented at the
1941 session of the state legisla-
ture. 1t was felt by many that
a larger school building would
correct the present crowded con-
ditions. The new building would
be placed on the old fair grounds.
1t is practically foregone con-
clusion that when the present
high school building is vacated,
county officials will occupy the
rooms. In all probability the var
ious social and welfare agencies
will be concentrated there as well
as the nursing and health depart
ments.
DIR. ". L. Ellicott, County
Health Officer, with offices in the
new court house, across the hall
from the clerks office, says that
such move would be advan-
tageous to his office. He points
out that county health work would
be greatly facilitated if central
lied. There is special need for
more clinic space, claims Ellicott.
d With the. removal Of the County
Health offices from this present
location, the over-crowded clerks
office could then be expanded to
the vacated health department
rooms. This, says Clayton Wat
kins, Clerk of the Court, would
greatly relieve our congested con-
dition. We have room for about
only 6 months more filing, Wat
kins states, and need more room
now.
Those in charge seem to think
that the judicial and govern
mental branches of the county
government could and would func-
ton better in larger quarters.
1t is the thought of many to
eventually move the Home DEM
onstration and County Agents
office to the school building and
probably house the police depart
ment in the present Home Demon
stration suite. Space has already
been allotted the County Agent in
the second story of the new Post
Office building. The County
Agents office is now located in
the Farmers Bank Building. The
re-assessment force is using the
space vacated by the County
Agent this summer.
With the different county agen-
cies concentrated it is felt that
greater county economy will be
effected.
