Montgomery Game Worden Distribute Keep Wie From Stono
BY A. A. HoehIina

Montgomery County's two game
wardens have been playing the un-
accustomed role OF walters the past
few weeks in large-scale effort to
keep wildlife from starvation.
Confronted with one Of the most
severe winters for wildlife he has
ever encountered, veteran Game
Warden w. Carroll Waters is tramp
ing the snow fields and forests Of
the county with his partner, Henry
G. Hough, to distribute grain.
Rabbits, squirrels and birds have
a hard time getting through the ice
and snow for their feeding" said
Mr.. Waters. II don't know Just how
much wildlife has starved this win
ter, but I'm sure the rate would be
high if we didn't feed them"
Take Grain to Farmers.
Proving that no time of year is
vacation time for a game warden,
Mr.. Waters and Mr.. Hough load
their cars each morning with sacks
of scratch grain. The sun is slanting
low over the hills by the time the
sacks are emptie6.
Some Of the grain they take
directly to farmers, while they de-
liver some to country stores which
in turn will see that it is distributed.
Otherwise it's the old Army game
of tramp, tramp, tramp. The two
may walk over hill and dale for
miles in an effort to get grain to
some particularly large covey of
quail or pheasants.
Arrest 100 q Year.
Both wardens,. however, say they
like walking and being outside or
else they would have not taken the
job.
During hunting season." Mr..
Waters explained, I'VE may walk 10
miles or SO a day."
They also have two motor boats
on the Potomac to aid them in en-
forcing fishing laws.
Arrests, they estimate, aggregate
about 100 a year. The biggest prob
lem, they say, is to keep people who
live in wooded areas from the temp
tation OF filling their larders with
rabbits and squirrels. The wardens
agree that these animals are more
plentiful than other types of wild
life in the county.
Foxes and Hawks Rarely Starve.
Predatory animals such as foxes
and predatory birds like crows and
hawks are not protected, of course.
These members Of the wildlife tribe
rarely starve, the wardens say, re-
gardless of the weather.
Mr.. Waters, who lives in George
town, has been a warden since 1929.
Mr.. Hough of Poolsville has been
working at the job for five years.
Both men are employed by the
Maryland Game and Inland Fish
Commission.

By John Chandler
Assoeioied Press Stoff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 10.-Half way
through the Legislature, the peren-
NAL women's jury service. and the
Jim Grow law repeater bills today
appeared 10 be headed for defeat
again.
Both have passed the Senate and
now are. In the House Judiciary
Committee, where Chairman Melni-
cove admits they are likely to be
given an adverse vote. Every two
years the measures have come up
In the General Assembly, been
passed hysone or the other chamber,
then were finally defeated.
With 10 counties exempted from
the bill providing that women shall
serve on juries, Mr.. Melnicove said
that TWO more counties at least and
possible more, will ask to be exclud-
ed from the measure.
The Jim Crow Act has been on
the law books for more than 40
years, and although not enforced
except on the bay ferry system, re-
quires segregation Of white and COL
ored passengers on trains and
steamships.
Tomorrow Is Deadline.
; Mr.. Melnicove, personally in favor
OF passing both measures, said to-
morrow viii be the deadline for
counties to make known their
wishes on the jury bill. He expects
to take final committee action on
the two bills either tomorrow or
Wednesday.
The Senate passed the jury bill
February 20 by a vote of 20 to 8,
with Allegany, Carroll, Garrett,
Queen Anne's, Talbot, Worchester,
Howard, st. Mary's, Kent and
Washington Counties exempted. The
House Judiciary Committee has
amendments to add Charles and
Calvert to the list.
The Jim Grow bill received Sen
ate approval by q 20-8 vote on
February 18.
Rural Areas Oppose 1t.
"Of the 81 members on judiciary
Committee, 16 are from the coun-
ties, most Of whom are not included
to act favorably on the Jim Grow
bill," Mr.. Melnicove related.
County delegates have opposed re.
peal in recent sessions because, as
one explained, 1--WE would be asking
for political suicide to pass this and
then go home and try to explain it
to our people. most of whom are In
rural areas and do not want the act
Mr.. Melnicove said he had been
swamped with inquiries from wo-
mems clubs and other supporters of
the jury bill, while Maryland church
leaders recently appealed to the
House to adopt the Jim Grow re-
pealer.
The General Assembly will re-
convene tonight after a week end

Practical Nurse
Course Is Set
AtGaIIinger
Examining Boord
Reverses Its Policy
On Clinical Troininq
By Thomos G. Buehonon


Gallinger Hospital has been an
thorized by the Nurses Examining
Board to accept both white and
colored vocational high school stu
dents for clinical training in prac-
tical nursing.
The move reverses the policv of
the examining board, which here
tofore has opposed the training of
practical nurses in hospitals which
maintain registered nurse training
schools.
Authority to take students who
nave completed an academic course
IN practical nursing at Burdick or
M. M. Washington High School for
1urtner instruction in actual care
OF patients was received TODAY bv
MISS Beatrice Ritter, director OF
nursing at Gallinger.
Course To Last S Months.
First students will probably be ar.
cepted at Gallinger under the new
plan after they complete their aca-
said. '-''e'
she said the clinical course would
be of five months duration, in which
nigh school vocational instructors
would come to the hospital from
time to time to correlate the prac-
tlcal experience Of their students
With their previous academic train
ing.
Those who successfully complete
their training will be eligible for
permanent posts at Gallinger at a
starting pay Of 1884 annually ac-
cording to Miss Ritter.
We feel it's step in the right
direction to give this kind of worker
Just as good background as is DOS
sible," the Gallinger official de-
clared.
Superior Facilities.
Announcing the policy of the
board, Miss Ethel j. Odegard, execu-
tive secretary, said:
In the opinion of the Nurses Ex-
amining Board, Gallinger Municipal
Hospital has superior facilities both
as to number and variety of patients
and also supervisory personnel to
offer clinical experience to students
OF vocational high schools without
Jeopardizing the education of pro-
fessional nursing students"
Miss Odegard's reference to "su-
perior facilities" recalled a state.
ment she made last month at the
Washington High School predicting
change in the boards policy
toward joint training where there
are exceptional facilities"
Applies Only to Gailinger.
It was disclosed at that time that
negotiations were imminent for the
provision Of such post-academic
training, but no specific institution
was named by Miss Odegard as hav-
ing the necessary qualifications.
Miss Odegard said today that the
authorization Of joint, training ap-
plies, so far, only to Gallinger Hos
pital.
She indicated, however, that with
the passage of a proposed bill to
license practical nurses in the Dis
trict,s and require them to ergister
with the board, there would be no
obstacle to the setting up Of practi-
cal nurse training in oher hospitals
which have registered nursing
schools.
