plants have not reached produc-

most recently secured from Kenya
Colony, Africa, and before that from
Yueoslavia and Japan. he said.
Instead of growing oil-yielding
plants, such as caster beans, along
the Gulf Coast States as in the last

ductiOn has been found in this war

Much of the success in guaran-

Crooks pointed out has been due

seed strains of each of the drugs
were on hand in 1910 because OF
these experiments.
BY l941, he said, these seed strains
were multiplied greatly. And by
1912 huge stockpiles became
available.
With the exception of quinine. all
these plants are we'll adapted to

DR., Crooks asserted Chief reason
for their not having been grown
previously, he said, was the fact that
it was cheaper to import them than
to produce them.
Most of the drugs are insignificant
from the viewpoint of economic gain

planned. The acreage needed for the
cultivation is small and only the best

-Four New Ordinances
To Be Advertised
By Arlington Board
Seek County Revenue
From |ntoxicotion,
Driving Lows

The Arlington County Board yes
terday authorized the advertisement
of four ordinances paralleling State
laws. designed to regulate reckless
driving, public intoxication, driving
while intoxicated and disorderly
conduct. Public hearing on the
measures was set for March 6.
Adoption of the new ordinances
would enable the county to obtain
revenue from their enforcement that
now goes to the State.
Another ordinance, to regulate
county nursery schools, was pre-
sented by Commonwealth Attorney
Lawrence w. Douglas, but since
similar one had been prepared by
County Manager Frank C. Hanra-
han, DR.. Ralph G. Beachley, Roger
w. Grant, jr., Donald r. Locke and
Andrew Jensen the board referred
the matter to a committee for study
and report at the next meeting
Water Problem Eased.
James Simmonds, attorney for
Westbrook, Inc, was granted a re-
quest for assistance in alternating a
water problem at housing develop
ment at George Mason drive and
Columbus street, which the company
is constructing.
Two hundred and thirty-nine
/ houses are planned in the project,
| of which SO are ready except for
water service. Nj. Simmonds said
the company allowed 81 families to
move in with the understanding that
water was not available. The peo-
pie, he said, are carrying water from
a neafby ice house and from an ad-
jacent creek.
Although the Federal Works
Agency is the contracting agency for
the development, the water line
installation was contracted for sepa-
rately and the line that has been
| installed does not meet Government
| specifications, it was stated by A. T.
Lundberg, county water department
superintendent.
Mr.. Lundberg added that he could
not go ahead with taps on the line
until it had been accepted by the
Federal Government. He also said
that until the line was installed
properly it could not be sterilized
which is essential to inset health
! requirements. The board directed
Mr.. Lundberg to work out plans with
the contractor for laying a temper
airy line.
/ Seek Assistance.
Board Member Mrs. Elijah beth Ma
