These examinations are conducted at pc

The supervising officials also have the

The fate OF the plan to hire
Washington high school boys on
Montgomery County farms this
summer remained in doubt this
afternoon when the county COM
missioners agreed only to appro-
pirate enough money to operate
camps tor the youths for one week.
County Agent o. w. Anderson

whether to open the camps at all
on that basis.
VIII Act Again Later.
In voting to make not more than
$500 available for the operation Of
four farm boys camps for the period
ending June 30, the commissioners
said they would consider the ques-
ton of an additional appropriation
to carry the program through the
summer at a meeting Wednesday.
The O-igina! plan was to have the
boys work on the farms throughout
the harvest season. About 100 boys
already have spent three Saturdays
in training for the work
Mr.. Anderson said that cards had
been sent out yesterday to the boys
ordering them to report to work at
3 pm. tomorrow at the Maryland
State Employment once in Silver
Spring.

Il don't know what I'll do" he
declared. III have to get my
thoughts together. Maybe III have
to send out cards to the boys telling
them the program is Off"
Budget estimates for operation of
the camps for 10 weeks beginning
tomorrow we're presented to the
commissioners by Mr.. Anderson.
These estimates call for an appropri-
alton of 81 $50 for the four camps
at $496 per week. The estimated
weekly expenses at each camp totals
1924.
The camps would be set up at
Poolesville, Gaithersburg, Damascus
