Montgomery County
Cuts Road Program
In Half This Year
Government Order Will
Limit improvement
To $50 Thorouehfores

The road improvement program
in Montgomery County is being cut
in half this year because of the re-
cent Government order prohibiting
the use of asphalt except on roads
and streets essential to the war
effort, it was disclosed today.
George McCeney. superintendent
of county road construction and
maintenance, said his department
had planned to improve approxi-
mately $50 roads and streets
throughout the county this year,
but that at least rs Of these will
have to be discontinued "as far as
placing of an asphalt top on them
is concerned"
He added, however, that small
amount of finishing material can
still be obtained for projects started
prior to April "a, when the freezing
order was issued.
Rely on Gravel.
1--WE will be able to put gravel on
our new projects, but that's about
ALL he explained. I'VE can't even
use stone because stone requires the
use of tar as a binding material and
We can't get tar either"
The order will not affect work on
the Pearl street bypass around the
intersection of Wisconsin avenue
Old Georgetown road and East-West
highway in Bethesda, Mr.. McCeney
asserted.
Completion of the bypass, he said,
will relieve the bottleneck now exist
ing at the principal entrance into
the Washington Metropolitan Area
from the west and thus would come
under the heading of an essential
project.
No Layoffs Contemplated.
No layoffs of road workers are
contemplated at present, he said,
since there is plenty of work" for
the As employees in the county road
department during the summer.
This work includes drainage and
the cutting of weeds and bushes
along county roads.
"I don't know what we will do in
the fall" he added. "It depends
on whether the Governments order
will be relaxed, enabling us to obtain
asphalt and tar"

ITO Officers Graduate
Tomorrow al Meade
Recreation School
fought to Keep Troops
Busy During Movements
By Train or Transport
BY a Staff Correspondent of The Star.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.
FORT GEORGE MEADE. Md,
May 9.-The second class Of one Of
the Army's most unusual training
schools will be graduated Monday
when 110 certificates will be issued
commissioned officers who have
completed the Special Services
Branch School.
Onhcers ranking from majors to
second lieutenants will return to
military posts from coast to coast
primed with q new knowledge Of
administering recreation in its
proper doses to troops as morale
builder.
Each will assume new duties as
a special service officer at his post
or camp or will become regimental
recreation officer.
The school was established on
order of the War Department which
has directed that one officer, other
than a chaplain, be assigned to full
time duty with each regiment, sep
arate battlaion or comparable unit
to carry out administration of phys
ical training and military recrea-
ton. procure material used in its
program and carry out plan OF
education of soldiers.
Activities During Travel.
Each graduate will return to his
command as a staff officer, pre-
pared to consult with the command
ing officer with respect to recrea-
ton and physical training activities.
1t is the purpose of the course to
train officers not only to maintain
morale at training camps, but also
to keep the troops constructively
occupied during troop movements
by train or transport and at for
eign stations from the Arctic to
the Equator.
The training features improvised
games as we'll as vigorous athletic
activities. AS a high light of the
latter phase of the program, field
day was held yesterday to Demon
strate some of the activities learned.
The program included contests be-
tween the student Officers in a
number games and standard games
such as volley ball, with variations
designed to meet conditions when
regulation equipment is not avail
able.
Improvised Games Displayed.
On display are scores of impro-
vised games which have been made
out of materials found around any
Army camp, troop train or trans
port. These include musical instru-
ments such as an xylophone made
of rolled-up newspapers and sawed
off floor boards, and a pinball-game
machine made out of split twigs
bent around q panel taken from
the side of packing crate.
Beer and pop bottle caps are used
extensively in games such as check
ers. One student designed a pool
game in which bottle caps were
numbered to replace balls and
large food cans replaced the pool
pockets"
Since soldiers often spend three
or more days on a train, weeks on
a boat or months in sparsely settled
areas, the fewer materials required
for game, the more effective it
will be in actual use.
For instance, one soldier has de-
vised an unusual contest which re-
quires the player simply to try to
drop a given number of beans in
the top of pop bottle from waist
height.
The graduation exercises will be

Curb on Activities
OF Typhoid Carriers
Disease Is FotoI to
Girl, 13, Living in
RuroI Area Of County
By Staff Correspondent of The Star.

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, May 9.-The
death this week from typhoid of a
13-year-old girl in the rural area
of Montgomery County was an
nounced today.
The case, which was the first re-
ported in the county this year, was
caused by infection from typhoid
carrier. The source of the infection
was discovered by DR.. Leon Salz-
man, assistant county health officer,
after the case had occurred.
According to Dr. v. L. Ellicott,
county health officer, a proposed
typhoid ordinance to restrict typhoid
carriers has been drafted and refer
red to Joseph A. Cantrel, attorney
to the county commissioners. 1t is
expected to be submitted to the
commissioners for final action in
the near future.
Restricting Activities Difficult.
DR.. Ellicott explained that ty-
phoid carrier is person who, with
out showing signs of the disease,
harbors virulent bacteria and can
spread the disease to other people.
1t is difficult to restrict activities
of such carriers under present law,
he said. since typhoid is not specifi-
cally mentioned as a dangerous
disease. The proposed regulation
would prohibit typhoid carriers from
living with persons who are not
immunized against the disease.
"Since it is impossible to cure
typhoid carriers except by operation
this regulation is the next best
thing" Dr. Ellicott declared.
Six Cases Last Year.
There were six typhoid cases in
the county last year and all re-
covered, he said. Of the six, two
were infected from previously known
carriers, two from carriers discovered
later and the source of infection OF
| the remaining two cases could not
be traced.
The health officer said there are
now Is known carriers of typhoid
| in the county. One has caused at
| least eight cases of the disease since
he was discovered in 1897, DR.. Eli.
colt asserted.
"It is important" DR. Ellicott
stated, that these carriers refrain
from handling food, milk or fooc
containers and that they do not
live on dairy farms or in boarding
houses without permission of thu

GOMEONE has been asked or
~ inspired 10 compose new
First Aid Manual and has writ
ten in to inquire what disinfec-
tants they are TO recommend
and why.
My feeling is to answer both,
Don't"
Don't write another manual
on First Aid, and don't put any
thing on disinfectants in the one
you don't write.
I'll admit I'm a little cynical
about civilian first aiders. hav-
ing seen several of them in ac-
ton.
In the article I wrote on the
subject a week or two ago, it
will be remembered l dwelt OF
some other "don'ts."
When a person falls down un-
conscious on the sidewalk,
don't try to move him or rub
him, and don't try to be too
efficient.
Just make him comfortable
and let him rest. The doctor is
on the way anyhow.
WE ARE considering now. of
w course, a minor injury-an
open wound not serious enough
TO call the doctor.
Every step but one in the
dressing of such a wound. simple
as ii appears, is subject-to some
discussion.
One undebatably good pro-
cedure is TO put on piece OF
sterile gauze and strap it down
with adhesive plaster.
The only safe and dependable
means of removing foreign par
ticles from a wound is by pick
ing them out with a sterile
forceps.
Disinfectants are measured by
a standard known as the PheHel
coefficient, and are classified as
bacterioStatic (which m e n
they kill the germs).
THE mercury disinfectants are
i very good bacteriostatic
agents, but not very good bac-
teriocidal.
That would be all right and
make them useful for skin
wounds except that the skin,
sweat, wound and blood secre-
tons contain sulfides and other
reducing agents which have
