Farm Group Discuss
Assembly Bills

The Laytonsville Discussion
group of the Farm Bureau met at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Lawson
King on February rs.
Mrs. Edwin Fry gave a report
of the Northwest Dairy Confer
ence held recently in New York
City. Delegates Ulysses Griffith
brought first hand information on
bills pending before the Assembly
Among bills discussed were: Work
or Fight Bill; Teachers Pay Bill;
Roads and Highways; Women For
Jury Duty.
The ever present problem in the
minds of farmers-food production
was given continued consideration.
o. w. Anderson, County Agent,
outlined the new system of farm
credit. This did not meet with
general approval as it seems a
mild form of subsidy.
Senator Tydings' Sunday radio
programs were lauded by the
group.

praise for the smooth manner in
which the school teachers of the

NEARBY STREAMS
TO GET GAME FISH

The Game and Inland Fish Com
mission of Maryland, realizing the
difficulties attached to fishing this
year because of the restriction on
pleasure driving, has decided to
place trout in number of streams
that are not considered Class A
trout streams.
The streams selected have all
been considered because of the ac-
feasibility to either car of bus
lines. These streams will be stock
ed periodically throughout the
open trout season. This policy will
continue for the duration of the
war. No trout will be stocked I'M
der 8 inches, some will be as large
as IA inches.

Strict Speed Law
Enforcement Planned

H. Leslie Carlin, the new county
police chief has directed Mont
gomery County policemen to en-
force traffic and speed laws more
strictly because of the INCREASED
number Of pedestrians. In January
eight people were injured accord
ing to the chief.
The order is not campaign but
a standing policy, and Chief Carlin
is appealing to the public to CO.
operate by driving in a careful
manner, especially during the
hours school children are on the
street. Because of the curtail-
ment of school bus service more
children are required to walk to
and from school, and the Parent
Teachers Associations of the Coun-
ty promptly brought the matter to
the attention Of the police chief,
and received equally prompt re-
suits.
