Plea For Gifts
To Thrift Shop

Proceeds from the Montgomery
County thrift shop sales help public
health lay committees to carry on
health work. These thrift shops
need articles which housekeepers
grow weary Of busting, or putting
into mothballs, each year and put
ting away again. At houseclean-
ing time this spring won't you
save yourselves this trouble by
sending such articles to one Of the
shops, or telephone and ask for
someone to pick them up? The ar
ticles you are not using, are badly
needed by others in these days Of
scarcity. Gaithersburg Thrift Shop
is located on Diamond avenue
(Gaithersburg 242); Poolesville
Health Center also houses a thrift
shop (Poolesville 2801); the Mont
gomery County Thrift Shop is at
AIS Hampton Lane, Bethesda
bradley O223). Anything useable
is saleable.

Facts On Soil
Erosion Control
Are Outlined
Ceiling Unlimited" Says
L. C. Burns Of 1916 Pro-
gram OF AAA Committee

There are no ceilings, quotas, or
financial restrictions in the 1916
Agricultural Conservation Pro-
gram for Maryland on the extent
that Free State farmers carry out
erosion control practices and at the
same time be eligible for maxi
mum government payments.
That was the word issued this
week by L. C. Burns, Montgomery
county farmer and member of the
Maryland Agricultural Conserva-
ton committee (AAA). "When
it comes to erosion control prac-
tees, che said, "the 1916 program
is virtually ceiling unlimited.
Every progressive farmer is in
terested in efficient and maximum
food production during the war
time and conservation of the soil
resources is a big step in that d.
rection."
In addition to payments for
other practices the following are
the respective rates of payments
for the four erosion control
practices outlined in the program:
l. Terracing: 80 cents per 100
linear feet for the construction of
standard terraces for which proper
outlets are provided.
/. Contour stripcropping: $1.50
per acre for establishing on the
contour alternate strips of row
crops with sown, close-drilled, or
sod crops.
3. Comforting row crops: slips
per acre for contour farming of
row crops on land having a slope
of two percent or more.
A. Drainage bitches: Six cents
per cubic yard removed mot ex-
ceeding $500 per 100 linear feetl
for constructing or cleaning out
drainage bitches, for WHICH proper
outlets are provided. M
To qualify for payments earn
ed in connection with erosion con-
troll practices, prior approval must
be obtained from the county AAA
committee, before carrying out any
of the specified soil conserving
practices.
Detail specifications for, each of
the four eerosion control practices
are contained in the 1345 Mary
land ACP Bulletin. copies of which
may be obtained from any county

Bar Group Opposes
Adoption Proposal

The Montgomery County Bar
Association went on record this
week in opposition TO the proposed
changes in child adoption laws. F.
Barnard Welsh introduced the
resolution condemning the bill
which was prepared by Frank B.
Proctor of the Montgomery Coun-
ty Juvenile Court for the purpose
of avoiding hasty adoptions and
rackets in baby brokerage.
Alfred D. Moves, assistant
States Attorney, opposed the reso-
luton and asked that the resolu-
ton be tabled. Mr.. Noyes pointed
out that provisions of the law
would be a tremendous aid to the
court in determining such cases.
Mr.. Welsh, on the other hand,
pointed out that there have been
no instances where the Montgom-
cry County Court has needed such
assistance and that there are no
instances where the Court has
acted to the detriment of any
child.
The resolution was adopted by
voice vote. The association
voted to send the resolution to the
Montgomery delegation at Annap-
oplis with a request that, if the
law should be enacted, Montgom-
cry County be exempted from its
operation and effect.

O'COnOr Submits
Financing For
School Program
Provides Total Increase OF
100000 Over Highest
Previous Budget

With the introduction into both
Houses of the Legislature of the
bills to effectuate financing of
Governor O'Conor's program of
betterment for the public school
system, the complete legislative
basis for the proposed changes is
now before members of the Assem-.
bly,.
AS Governor O'Conor advised
the Legislature in presenting the
final series of measures, "The
series of Bills will, if enacted into
law, constitute the most far-reach-
ing educational program Mary
land has ever attempted, pro-
gram that will render available to
the school children of Maryland
advantages distinctly in line with
those offered in the most progress
sive States of the nation.
Important in the final group of
eight legislative measures was an
amendment to Section 1S9, the en-
actment of which will permit dis
tribution of High School Aid for
instruction of pupils of grades z,
s, and 8 on the same basis as for
merly allowed for pupils receiving
instruction in the last four years
of high school. In effect, it pro-
vides for the 12-grade system.
which has been one of the main
points of Governor O'Conor's pro-
gram.
Another bill makes available
basic aid of $3.50 for each class
room unit in operation in all
counties and Baltimore City, for
which a separate teacher is en-
| ployed provided the State mini
mum salary schedule is maintain
ed.
Other bills make provision for
the adjustment of the Equalization
Fund to meet requirements of the
new program, change the desig-
nation of the normal schools to
Teachers Colleges, and provide for
services included in the State Pub
lie School Budget, including basic
aid per classroom unit.
| Five other bills, sponsored by the
State Educational authorities and
approved by Governor O'Conor.
bring remaining educational legis-
lation of the State into line with
Federal Acts and with modern
needs generally.
In its final analysis, as Governor
O'Conor pointed out, the financing
arrangement of the new school i'm
provement program is based on an
additional annual contribution
from State funds Of $z,314,O00, of
which $1,726,000 will go each year
to effectuate the program in the
counties.
This will be in addition to the
amounts provided in the original
budget submitted by Governor
O'Conor to the Legislature, in
which the public school appropri-
atoms represented an increase OF
S2,113,112 from the State Treas
ury over the largest previous al
locations for educational purposes.
Now, with this additional $4,000,
coo provided for the biennium,
representing the increases under
the expanded program, the States
outlay for public school education
will be greater by a number OF
millions of dollars than it ever has
been in a corresponding period.
