Great Enthusiasm For New

1t is hoped that the canteen will
be located in the Hub building and
will include food bar and booths

Most of the activities will take

basketball, football, baseball games
and boxing matches. Swimming
parties and bike hikes are also
planned.
The Rockville Recreation Council,
all groups in the town and the

Dog Quarantine
Extension Sought
By Health Dept.
LaytOnsville District Added
To Area-Stricter Enforce
ment Considered

At a meeting of the County
Board Of Health County Commits
sioners) DR.. V. L. Ellicott, County
Health Officer, stated that ID posi-
tive dogs had been reported in jan
uary and that the disease had
shown no signs of diminishing. He
urged more strict enforcement Of
dog quarantine and made the fol-
lowing specific recommendations:
l. Continue efforts to secure an
additional truck driver and assist
ant so that the dog truck of the
Maryland Virginia Humane Society
can be put into use.
2. Employ two additional men with
automobiles to cruise through quar-
antined areas, locate owners of
loose dogs and prosecute offenders.
3. Extension of dog quarantined
area to include Laytonsville Elec-
ton District because of the report
of a positive dog on the Laytons-
ville-Olney road.
4. Enactment of County Board
of Health Ordinance forbidding
loose dogs in the quarantined area
and providing for fines of SO to
$25. The State Law prescribes
fine of $50 which, in many cases,
is considered too high.
5. Prosecution of loose dog-viola-
tons on first offense in the same
way as that of motorists for park
ing violations. Dog quarantine has
now reached sufficient publicity to
justify prosecution of all offenders.
Most offenders now are those VINO.
failed to take the trouble to work
out a plan for the care of their
dogs under quarantine. Charges
would be dropped against violators
who request their dogs to be dis
posed of.
6. Allow the Police Department
to use discretion in shooting dogs
in the quarantined area which are
too wild to be caught by dog catch
ers. Most of the shooting woulud be
in the form of a follow-up or re-
ports from the Health Department
and other sources describing the
number and location of
these wild dogs.
7. No dog shooting nor carrying
of firearms by any persons working
under Health Department direction.
8. Preliminary consideration of
an ordinance requiring rabies vac
cination of dogs.
Inquiries throughout the County
show that nine-tenths of the people
are complying with the dog quar-
antine law, but that there was an
of resentment toward
dog owners who were violating. All
agree that the only solution is to
enforce quarantine strictly so as
to stop rabies and thus get rid of
the nuisance of quarantine.
The Board of Health recommend
ed the extension of the dog quar-
antine to include all Of the Lay
louisville Election District. DR..
Ellicott's other recommendation
were held over for one week and
referred to a committee of the
Board.

DECENTLY 1 RECEIVED A

DECENTLY / RECEIVED A
letter from my son, Griffith,
who is an Army pilot. l was
not a little amazed and yet
was pleased to learn that the
young men with whom he lived
were discussing a subject which
engages the attention of our
leaders. He asked me to give
him some thoughts on the APP
parent intent of this group of
airmen to seek a future in
South America
In Answer following the
To Yours, end of the war.
Son! They resent the
thought of being
obliged to pay heavy taxes. I
kept copy of my answer and
have re-read it several times.
It was not prepared for publ
cation and could probably stand
a bit Of editing. Yet there are
some thoughts which I am TAX
ing the liberty of passing along.
The letter, in part, follows:
at is is to me very gratifying
to realize that the chaps in your
age bracket are interested enough
in public affairs to discuss such
deep questions as the economics
of our country and South Amer
lea. Yet, if you expressed your
self clearly and if / understand
clearly what you expressed you
and your young friends are off
on the wrong foot. Don't forget
that the payment of taxes is as
necessary for the next genera
ton as it is to assume that we
must eat. The manner of our
working out the new problems
to be faced is a task worthy of
the best that is in all of you.
You have heard me say that in
the old times of the United States
there was plenty of frontier
which could absorb all who de-
sired to work. Our vast ex-
panse Of territory which is now
the golden west was open and
absorbed what would likely have
been big army of unemployed.
That was particularly true of the
period following the civil war.
~What, your boys ask,
is there now to absorb the mil
lions of us who will be trying to
get along? There are no from
tiers. My answer is this: In
place Of the great undeveloped
western territory we have I'M
explored regions
Opportunities of thought which
In South offer gre ter

kind and to the
country than all of the west. 1t
is only through good, construc-
tive, clear and patriotic think
ing that we will ever emerge
from the depths to which we are
certain to sink in the years fol-
lowing the new peace.
"In order to start your boys
on straight thinking let me ask
you what you think the country
will operate on while the de-
mobilization period and the
transition of war production
into peacetime production is TAX
ing place? Is there anything
TO take the place of taxation?
OF course not. Then why not
recognize the problem and facts
involved and attack it intelli-
gently. There is no question
that all our man-made economics
finally resolves into one big
problem of coordination with
natural wealth and manpower.
There is no wealth save what
God has given us in the way Of
mother earth and our own intel
lect and physical abilities. l
don't give hang how many dol
lars the fellow might have it is
