a member of the Police Trial
Board to succeed Frank l.. Hewitt,
Jr., who is expected to "resign."
Another bone of contention dur
ing the morning was legal holidays
to be observed in the county. Mr..
Sauter objected to including Good
Friday, but was finally overruled.
The holidays will be New Years,
Good Friday, Memorial Day, July
4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and
Christmas, with the addition of
Election Day in those years in
which it occurs.
In explaining his move to abol-
ish the post of almshouse commits
sioner, Mr.. Johns said he thought
the board should be equally re-
sponsible for anything so impor-
tant as the care of "the old folks"
He said he was "old fashioned
and believed elderly people were
happier in a group and received
better care than they would in a
private home. He thinks the home
can eventually be operated at a
much lower cost than the $4,000
it runs.

Control Of Chick
Diseases Important,
County Agent States

Pointing out that diseases which
strike the baby chick flock are ex-
tremely serious because Of the set
back they cause, Asst. County
Agent Edward X. Bender today
outlined control and prevention
programs that may be used by
Montgomery County poultrymen.
"Pullorum may be effectively
controlled if farmers will purchase
their chicks from pullorum-clean
focks and hatcheries," he said,
"and coccidiosis may be controlled
by feeding one-half TO a pound Of
sulfaguanidine TO each 100 pounds
Of feed. The amount should be var
led according to the severity Of the
disease outbreak, and the treat
ment should be continued for three
or four days. There are also a
number of commercial remedies on
the market which seem to be salts
factory.
IF an outbreak of disease does
occur,' he said, "early detection is
important. Sick chicks should be
isolated if practicable, contaminat-
ed litter should be removed, and
the house cleaned with a I've solu-
ton containing one-quarter pound
Of lye to five gallons Of water"
