Scouts Hold
Court of Honor

The Fall Court of Honor of the
Washington County District, Boy
Scouts of America, will be held on
Friday night, September Is, at ST.
Johns Lutheran Church auditor
ium, and it is anticipated that this
will be one of the largest Courts
held in the local Councils history.
In addition to the presentation of
advancement awards to more than
hundred Scouts, it is expected
that two or more will be advanced
to the highest rank in Scouting,
that of Eagle Scout.
In order to prepare for the Court
of Honor, there will be two Boards
of Review (the Scouts qualify for
their advancement at these boards).
The first will be held on Wednes-
day night, September 6, and the
second on Friday night, September
8. Both boards will meet at the
Scout office and Scoutmasters have
been advised regarding which board
their Troop will attend.

Pacific Casualties
Now Get Fresh Milk

New Guinea-A drink of fresh
milk! Well, maybe, but to a sur
prised soldier accustomed to getting
his battlefront milk rations from a
can instead of a COW, the latest
American Red Cross miracle" was
hard to believe in. In quick order
the wounded soldier, being trans
ported by air to a hospital in the
rear, was served a cup of ice cold
fresh milk.
The Red Cross canteen at the air
strip had been serving cold drinks,
coffee, sandwiches, doughtnuts, etc.,
to the transients, but Red Cross
workers wanted something for the
battle casualties stopping over there
besides the dehydrated milk Uncle
Sam had been obliged to serve
them. Fresh milk could be OBJ
tanned, they believed, and it was,
after Red Cross arranged for trans
portation of some ten gallons a day
to the airstrip. Now they are work
ing on a plan to have fresh milk
flown in.

On Saturday morning a bunch OF
Boy Scouts will be along your
street, expecting to find your
waste paper, magazines, card
board boxes and old rags, tied up
in bundles and out on the sidewalk.
Don't disappoint theml
The collection of all forms of
waste paper is, today, probably
more important than even the man
ufacturing of guns and ammunition,
for the Army and Navy Depart
nlents have both stated that the
lack of paper is holding up the ship
rnent of vitality needed war supplies
to our boys in France, Italy and the
Pacific.
So won't you make an extra spe-
cial effort to get out every scrap of
paper you can this coming Satur-
day, September 2, and have it out
on the sidewalk in front of your
home or place of business, by eight
o'clock in the morning.
Over two hundred Scouts will be
on the job and public spirited firms
and organizations are loaning
trucks and drivers to haul the pa
per in. So let's go Hagerstown and
make this the biggest collection
since the Scouts took over the job
some two months ago.
The Scouts will apprecite it, your
Government will appreciate it, but
best of all, that bundle of paper you
put outside your home on Saturday
morning may save Hagerstown
boys life, by getting to him, on
time, that life-saving blood plasma,
or other urgently needed medical
and surgical supplies.

$4,000 Is Sought
By Day Care Center
School Troup to File Plea
With FWA Tomorrow

The public school day care CEN
ter will apply to the Federal Works
Agency tomorrow for approximately
$4,000 to operate l8 or more CEN
ters from May 25 until July 81, Miss
Katharine Doonan, administrator,
said yesterday.
A previous grant of $4,000, sched-
uled to be exhausted tomorrow, has
been budgeted so as to last the
centers while the new fund appli-
cation is being processed by FWA,
Miss Doonan explained. While no
written guarantee of recurring
grants has ever been given by FWA
to school officials, Miss Doonan said
it was understood" that Lanham
Act funds would be granted for
public day care here until the end
of the war. The processing is ex-
pected to take about two weeks.
Although only IL centerS had
been opened in year of operation
at the time that the Board of Edu-
cation took over the centers in
February, seven have been opened
by Miss Doonan since then. The
most recent is the Bellevue Naval
Research Laboratory. She expects
to include funds for perhaps two
new centers in the proposed $50, 900
fund application.

Health Department
To Offer Rat-ControI
Program This Week
Report IS Being Made
Yeor After Reception Of
USPHS Recommendation

Nearly a year after receiving
recommendations from the United
States Public Health Service for a
rat-control program, the District
Health Department this week will
submit to the Commissioners Their
suggestions to rid Washington of the
ever-growing rodent menace.
Among the suggestions expected
to be offered by Health Oficer
George c. Rutland are ordinances
requiring ratproofing of homes,
businesses and commercial estab-
lishments.
Contents of the USPHS recon-
mendation-report to the Health De-
partment remain undisclosed. DR..
Rutland refused yesterday to re-
lease the report, asserting that he
could not make the report public
until 1t was received by the Com
Explanation offered by officials
for the years delay in submitting
the program to the Commissioners
"oS oAAae ~ ASIuA GU bAlllC dIlu Sguuy
to peruse the lengthy report.
Meanwhile, more than 1000 COM
plants a month are pouring in from
citizens who report their premises
infested with rats. In response to
these complaints, eight overworked
Sanitation Department inspectors
are vainly attempting to rid these
homes of rats.
Maj. William H. Cary, director of
the Bureau of Sanitation, admitted
yesterday the present rat-control
system is inadequate. He expressed
the hope his department would re-
ceive additional appropriations for
the hiring of more men.
Maj. Cary said that in addition to
new ordinances requiring ratproof-
ing OF new and existing buildings
general sanitary conditions must be
cleaned up if effective measures are
to be taken against the estimated
one million rats existent here.
1t was pointed out that filth and
garbage is a fertile breeding ground
Tor rats and other insects. Rodents
are notorious carriers of disease.
among which are typhus, bubonic
plague and Wells disease, an in
lection which affects the liver.

at the probation Office for an in
vestigation prior to her sentence.
