County Health
Department News

Now is the time for parents to
begin thinking about the health re-
quirements for their children who
will be entering school next fall.
ALI children must be immunized
against smallpox and diphtheria
before they are admitted to school.
Inoculations for whooping cough
are also important.
Recently many County residents
have made complaints to the
Health Department about mosqui-
toes. Our Sanitary Engineer, Mr..
Ralph Tarbett, says that most mos
quito breeding places are found
right around private homes, in
such as roof cutters, bird baths,
fish ponds, cans containing rain
water, or any stagnant water,
rather than in parks and streams.
If County residents will make a
survey of their own homes and
neighborhoods, they greatly help
to get rid Of these pests.

prevent him from doing anything
he wished to do. Naturally mechan-

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
By ELSIE WHITE HAINES

UOhuCI IL LSoiiS <ADbC, ~ AceSA :
ing former president of the coun-
ty P-TA knows that Mrs. Thomas
Barnsley received exactly $11 a
week when she started her long
teaching career 81 years ago? Af-
ter she had taught at Avery for a
year she got raise-she was sent
to Rockville with salary Of SIP a
week for nine months a year!
Mention "Miss Lucy" anywhere
in the county and Immediately the
vision of a jolly, grey-haired grand
mother appears. That is the way
Mrs .Barnsley looks now-we re-
! member her when she taught the
little country school, jolly even
then-but dark-hail'ed, with pret-
ty, rosy cheeks" And always SO
beautifully dressed. We distinctly
remember hearing that school
teachers got "big money"-and so
she could afford to dress! And she
was paying board, too. Shades of
the good old days!
The daughter of Benjamin Gull
lum Hughes and Sarah Virginia
Magruder, Lucy Hughes was but
twenty when she graduated from
State Normal School in 1901. At
ter teaching five years she married
Tom Barnsley and went to live just
across the road from her first
school. After fifteen years as
farmers wife and mother to two
boys and a girl, "Miss Lucy" re-
turned to Rockville Elementary
School where she taught the chill
dren Of .scme of the youngsters
who were her first pupils = today
she is teaching their grandchildren.
Hundreds of parents and children
have called her blessed = for she
has the knack of making children
happy-perhaps because she keeps
them busy.
Not content to merely teach day
school-Mrs. Barnsley has a Sun
day School class of II at the Meth
odist Church. She has taught each
member to save a penny day-so
the class is always ready to make
a contribution to the current need
HUNGER, CARE-or to an or
phan overseas. Their most recent
gift was $40 sent Gather Warfield
for shoes for Polish children.
For the last six years Mrs.
Barnsley has also been local leader
of a group of Rockville All Club
boys. During the four war years
these boys raised in the school gar
den enough beans, corn and toma-
toes to can 1920 quarts for the
school cafeteria. Their mothers did
the canning under Miss Lucy's di-
rection. She also secured the land
and directed about fifty townspeo-
pie in the development of Victory
gardens. Some still continue these
gardens.
! With all this work with the chill
A
dren of others, the little Barnsley
family was not neglected. Most of
you know the children. Cullum,
who was with Oliver Perry, Rock
vile Ford dealer, for II years, was
in the service during the war and
came out a captain. He is now a
member of the firm of Jamison and
Barnsley, in Westminster, and
lives there with his wife, Fay, and
daughter.

Coal Production Up As Miners
 Return To Work

PITTSBURGH, (P-Coal pro- duction spurted today with thou sands of bituminous miners re- turning to the pits in northern states.
 Many other thousands remained away from the mines, pending To- cal meetings to ratify the new contract. Some states reported high absenteeism also was holding down production. In addition, a large number of southern mines still were idle, since operators ac- counting for about 20 per cent of normal production still had not reached agreement with the union on contract terms.
 Pennsylvania counted alb o Il t half its 100000 miners on the job, while in Illinois, the united mine workers headquarters said 75 per cent of its 23,00O members were back at work. The Illinois. coal operators association reported all mines in the state were operating.
 In Ohio, about 14,000 of 16,000 diggers in the eastern Ohio field trooped back to work this morning and the remainder was expected to don helmets and caps before nightfall.
 Production was spotty in West Virginia, normally the nations largest producer. In the southern part of the state, only six mines owned by the U. S. Coal and Coke Co. and employing 2,500 were working. The return to work was more general in the northern sec ton. Over the state about 23,000 of 100000 miners were working.
 In Alabama, two of 10 steel company-owned mines re-opened today with the day shift. About 300 miners of $500 employed by the U. s. Steel Corp. and Republic Steel were back. All other pits were idle.

Coal Agreement Signed; No
 National Tie-Up

WASHINGTON, P)-An agree ment averting nationwide soft coal strike was signed Tuesday by John L. Lewis and a majority of the bituminous operators.
 In announcing the signing, Lewis told news conference that it is reasonable to assume" the entire industry will accept the agreement within a few days.
 More than half of Lewis 100000 united mine workers are covered by agreements thus far signed by northern commercial operators, steel companies and mine owners in the west and midwest.
 For the workers, it means the highest pay in history and the right to work when willing and able"
 For the public, it means higher coal prices and possibly less coal production under a shorter work day provided in the contract.
 The miners originally were scheduled to return to the pits early today at the end of 10-day vacation. But they stayed away pending word from Lewis that

"Flying Disc'' Proves Be Weather Balloon

FORT WORTH, Tex. (P)-An ex- animation by the army revealed last night that a mysterious object found on a lonely New Mexico ranch was a harmless high-alti- tude weather balloon - not a grounded flying disc.
 Excitement was high in disc conscious Texas until Brig. Gen. Roger M. Ramey, commander of the Eighth Air Forces with head quarters here, cleared up the mys- tery.
 The bundle of tinfoil, broken beams and rubber remnants of a balloon were sent here yesterday by army air transport in the wake of reports that it was flying disc.
 But the general said the ob- jects were the crushed remains of ray wind target used to deter mine the direction and velocity
 
 of winds at high attitudes.
 Warrant officer Irving Newton, forecaster at the army air forces weather station here, said "We use them because they go much higher than the eye can sec"
 The weather balloon was found several days ago in a desolate sec tion of New Mexico by rancher, w. w. Brazill. He said he didn't think much about it until he went into Corona, N. M., last Saturday and heard the flying disc reports.
 He returned to his ranch, 85 miles northwest of Roswell, and recovered the wreckage of the bal loon, which he had placed under some brush.
 Brazil hurried back to Roswell, where he reported his find to the sheriff's office.
 The sheriff called the Roswell air field and Maj. Jesse A. Mar cell, 5O9th bomb group intelli- gence officer, was assigned to the case.
 Col. William H. Blanchard, officer of the bomb group, report ed the find to General Ramey and the object was flown immediately to the army air field here.
