Standards For
Child Welfare
Are Adopted
Private Homes AS Well
AS Public Places To Be
Evaluated

Minimum standards governing
the operation of certers caring for
young children in groups have now
been established by the Montgom-
cry County Committee on Child
Care, under the Office of Civilian
Defense.
These standards, based on those
developed by the Maryland Board
of Public Welfare, will be used in
evaluating existing nursery
schools, day nurseries, and other
establishments caring for young
children. Approved centers are
placed on Registry of Day Care
Facilities 10 be used in counselling
working mothers who wish to
place their children under adequate
care during the hours they must
be away from nome.
Professional assistants will be
utilized for the counselllng service,
which will be in operation by
August 1. Plans to have the serv-
ice set up by July 4, as originally
announced, were delayed by the
work on the standards and the
need to visit all existing centers.
Private homes which accept few
er than five children are also to
be included on the Register and
will be evaluated by different sci
of standards. Persons now caring
for children on a day time basis
are urged to contact the Commit
tee in the County Building, Silver
Spring, so that they may be plac'
ed on the list as resources. Over
so homes and schools in the coun'
ty are known to the Committee
but many TO them are filed a:
soon as contacted.

Railroads will not be required to

possible consistent with public
safety. Railroad stations will
blackout and yard lights necessary
for direction of traffic or safety
will remain lighted. Under no
circumstances should railroads be
hindered in the free movement of
war equipment.
Citizens are urged to remain off
the streets as much as possible in
the blackout and must leave the

Jap Beetle
Being Fought
In Montgomery
Suburban Area Is Hard
est Hit ~ Pest Gradually
Pushing Inland Invasion

A much larger infestation of
Japanese beetles has made it's ap-
pearance in Montgomery County
this year than any other time ac-
cording to o. w. Anderson, County
Agent. The area most effected is
the Silver Spring, Takoma section.
The boys attending DO the traps in
that area are reporting catching
from 6 10 10 thousand beetles per
day. The next heaviest area is
Bethesda with approximately 1000
beetles being trapped per day. This
is much greater than any previous
year. =
Approximately 1000 traps are
being attended by IL boys. Merle
Mayne of Glenmont is supervisor
in charge. Mr.. Mayne reports that
beetles have been found in all
areas of the County.
Persons interested in leasing
traps may secure them in Silver
Spring at the liquor dispensory or
at the Bethesda Police Station any
afternoon from one to five except
on Saturday. Traps may also be
leased at the County Agents Office
in Rockville, any weekday during
Office hours.
Mr.. Anderson cautions against
setting up traps at places where
beetles have not been seen since
the traps do attract beetles and
may not trap all of them that are
drawn to that particular spot;
however, where there is evidence
of number of beetles, traps offer
an opportunity to check greater in
festation.
These pests are gradually reach
ing southwark and westward. Only
few years ago the beetle was
numerous only as far south as
Cecil County. Baltimore and How
ard counties have had the "invas-
ion" for the past two years and
Washington had them last year.
Not until this year, however, has
Montgomery County been obliged
to set the traps.

To Avoid Needless Calls

Rockville telephone users will
find wartime safety reminder on

copies of which have been deliv-
cred to subscribers in this area,
according to an announcement
made by Geo. T. Davis, local man.
ager of the telephone company
branch.
The reminder asks: "Please do
not make telephone calls during or
Immediately after an air raid
alarm as it is essential that the
lines be kept free for use by the
defense authorities. If your tele-
phone rings, however, answer it
promptly"
Mr.. Davis emphasized the i'm
portance of consulting this new
directory before calling because of
the many number changes since
the last directory was released.
More than half Of the calls now
received by "Information" are for
numbers which could be found in
the directory.
The telephone company again
reminds subscribers to make sure
that no money, documents, or
other articles of value are left be-
tween the pages of the old direc-
tories.

THE MINUTE MEN

Editors Note - While the
following little poem, dedicated
to the INMATE Men might Jar
the rhythmicoL soul of oar good
friend "UmcIe ChGs." johnson,
aOe defy any challenge of the
spirit and sincerity of eGpres-
sion and gladly give 1T spGce).
Our country calls us, that is true.
To do each bit that we can do,
To form. nation strong and bold,
To make the Axis blood run cold.
Our soldiers, sailors and marines,
Are first upon the battle scenes.
But right at home and close in
sight
Men are drilling 'tik late at night.
He is known throughout the land,
A true and loyal Minute Man.
These men at home will drill and
try,
Until they hear their country cry.
Come help us men, we want you
all,
To see the mighty Axis fall"
Should the enemy appear in sight
The Minute Man is ready to fight.
He'll do his bit for U.S.A.,
To wave Old Glory every day.
They'll stand by us every one,
Until our victory is won.
So for an organization = strong
and grand
Let's give three cheers for the
Minute Man.

war expenditures by increasing So
cial Security taxes above their pres
ent level OF / per cent each on
employers and employees. There. was
no indication that the House would
object to the Senate move to freeze
security taxes at their present level.
Fight Led by Vandenberg.
Senator Vandenberg led success
full fight for Senate adoption last
week of an amendment freezing
these levies at the present rate for
1943, despite an appeal by President
Roosevelt that they be permitted to
increase to a total of per cent
beginning January /, as Congress
originally had contemplated.
Senator Vandenberg said it was
his opinion that any further addi-
tions to the tax structure likely
would be in the form of compulsory
savings through some method to be
worked out by a joint congressional
committee, with Mr.. Morgenthau as
a member, which would be set up
under terms of the new revenue bill
and directed to report by Decem-
Der !.
Expressing a somewhat similar
point OF view, Senator George saio
he thought the revenue measure nov
before Congress approached the
maximum direct burden the country
could bear
Conceding that the measure dit
not 60 very lar IN combating in
flation, he predicted that Congress
would take stens to provide TO

In II the measure was to produc

Concurring in this view, Majorit
Leader Barkley said it was "incor
ceivable" that the conferees woul
finally agree on Z bill that carrie
less revenue than either the Hou.
or Senate measures.
The Treasury estimated the Hou.
bill would add $62ol .000, 900 to pre-!
ent annual revenues Of $1,000. 900

Senator Connally, Democrat, OF
Texas, a member of the Senate
group, said he expected House men,
bers to attempt to raise corporation
taxes to the level they voted and
to throw out the victory tax.
Two Major Points at Issue.
The House voted to place a COM
bined normal and surtax rate OF
As per cent on the profits OF larger
corporations which now pay 81 per
cent. The Senate cut this to 40
per cent.
Besides the corporation taxes and
the victory levy, there appeared tc
be few major controversial points
that would require lengthy debate
in conference.
A Senate-appreved provision fol
a postwar rebate of 10 per cent o1
excess profits taxes to corporations
however, was not highly regarded
by some House members and argu'
ment also was expected over tn

had allowed against the excess
