Relief for the overcroWded Wash
.ifsgton County Hospital is in view in
the not too distant future, accord
ing to hospital superintendent
Charles ]. Cotter, who announced re-
recently that an extensive building
program is planned and will be put
into effect as soon as materials and
labor are available.
The proposed plan includes an an
mex to the present building, an adj
dition on top the newer hospital
building, new nurses home and an
educational building on Antietam
Street, opposite the present nurses
home.
The size of the annex has not
been definitely decided upon, but it
will be large enough to accommodate
the increased number of patients now
taking advantage of hospital insur-
ance. Formerly, many people were
prone to neglect ailments because of
lack of adequate funds to meet hos
pitalization, Mr. Cotter pointed out,
but since hospital insurance has been
introduced into the community there
has been a marked rise in patients
coming in under the plan, with con-
sequent serious overcrowding.
Advancement in medical science is
another factor in the increased de-
mand for hospital service and the
proposed additions to the hospital are
being planned on a scale adequate
to meet patient demands and the
necessarily enlarged hospital per-
sonnet.

P. E. Improves Its
County Service

The long planned project by which
the Potomac Edison Company will
provide improved electrical service
for southern Washington County
customers was completed last week.
The construction work included
the enlargement of the company's
Boonsboro sub-station to connect
Keedysville.
Now that the project is completed,
an electric transmission line loop
from Hagerstown to Sharpsburg, to
Keedysville, to Boonsboro, to Ha-
gerstown is in service.
The loop line is sectionalized and
any future trouble anywhere on it
may henceforth be localized. In the
past, trouble on the line to Sharps-
burg has been known to have inter
rupted service to communities as
far south in the county as Gapland.
The $4,000 service improvement
program by Pc had been planned
since before the war but actual con-
struction did not get underway until
lifting of War Production Board re-
strictions on this type of work in
February 1915. Even after work on
the project was begun manpower
shortages and the extreme difficulty
in obtaining equipment made sub
stantial progress on the work i'm
possible until recently.
Down-county communities whose
electric service will be improved by
the building of the tie-line and the
sub-station changes, in addition to
Boonsboro, Keedysville, and Sharps-
burg, include Eakles Mill, Mt. Briar,
Trego, Rohrersville, Gapland, An
tietam Furnace, Dargan, Samples
Manor, Tilghmanton, Fairplay,
Spielman's, Grimes Station and
Lappans.

Monument Will Be
.Re-dedicated Today
National Park Service to
Sponsor Ceremony AT South
Mountain Monument To
George Washington.

The nations oldest monument to
George Washington, set atop South
Mountain, will appropriately be the
scene of Fourth of July celebration
this year, sponsored by the Nation
al Park Service. DR.. Harry T. Nc
Donald, a member of the West Vir-
ginia Historical Society and for forty
years president of Storer College,
Harper's Ferry, w. Va, will be the
principal speaker.
Today's observances at the monu-
ment marks the tenth anniversary
of the old landmarks rededication.
Originally constructed by patriotic
Boonsboro citizens, the monument
had its first dedication on Independ-
ence Day of 1927, and was the first
monument to Washington completed
at that time Baltimore's Washing
ton monument was under construc-
ton, but was not finished until some
time later.
Standing, as it does, exposed to
wind and weather, the old monu-
ment had reached state of disre-
pair by 1882, when the Boonsboro
Odd Fellows Lodge undertook the
necessary restoration.
Many people are under the i'm
preston that the monument has been
completely rebuilt through the years,
but this is not true, according to
Mrs. Frank Mish, Jr., president of
the Washington County Historical
Society. Mrs. Mish, who will give
the monuments history at today's
program, states that the structure has
never been completely destroyed
and that while parts have been re-
stored, much of the original remains
intact.
Through the efforts of Senator
Bomberger, of Boonsboro, the Socie-
ity acquired an acre of ground
surrounding the monument and with
the cooperation of the State and
Federal governments further repairs
were made by the C. c. c., preceding
its rededication on July 4, 1886.
Offering superb view of the sur
rounding countryside, the monument
is a favorite spot for sightseers and
picnickers.
This years rededication observ-
ance will begin with special cere-
monies at 2:30 p. m. (DST), with
Mr.. Roscoe Smith, of Boonsboro,
heading the committee.

County Health
Department News

County Health officer, DR.. v.
l.. Ellicott, warns that measles is
still quite prevalent and that par
ents would lend every. effort to
preventing the exposure of chill
dren under three. Measles is apt
to be carried to these little ones by
an older child of the household
who is exposed in school and who
has not had measles before. When
this older child has been exposed,
the younger ones should be kept
away from him before the older
one shows any signs of measles.
This is essential because measles
is infectious about 3 days before
rash appears. The period of sep
aration should begin about one
week after the older child was ex-
posed and extend for ID days af-
ter the last exposure of the older
child. If the older child gets mea-
sles, the separation should con-
tinue until Z days after his rash
appears.
On the 9th of this month Mrs.
Alma Sewers, R. NJ, Health De-
partment nurse, will begin two
weeks course at the Johns Hop
kins Clinic. A number of the De-
partment nurses have taken this
course during the past two years,
fitting them for more efficient SER
vice in the Health Department
venereal disease clinics.
Mrs. Virginia Maxwell, R. N.
talked to the Damascus High
School students last week regard
ing the need for watchfulness to
avoid tick bites, and how to re-
move ticks when found upon the
body. Montgomery County has only
one case of spotted fever reported
so far this year. If heed will be
given to the instructions issued by
the Health Department during the
tick season, fewer cases should
occur.
Summer Round up clinics for
pre-school children who will be
entering kindergarten or first
grade in the fall will be held as
follows; May %, Kensington; May
%, Colesville; and May 20, Park
side. DR.. Leslie Leventhal will be
.clinician at all three clinics.
Each child should have a ply
steal examination, diptheria inn
munization, small pox vaccination
end any indicated medical or dem
tai treatment. Parents are free to
take their children either to their
family physician or to the sum-
mer roundup clinic.
