Representatives of farm organi-
cations and the canning industry
along with several State Senator's,
County Commissioners, and County
Agents, including those from How
ard, Montgomery, Frederick and
Carroll counties met with Govern
or Lane and members of the Board
Of Public Works at Annapolis on
Tuesday, January 81, to discuss
expansion of activities relating to
the control of the Japanese Beetle
and the European Corn Borer in
counties where the infestation has
reached alarming proportions. Be-
fore the meeting adjourned Gov
ernor Lane gave an affirmative
answer to the request for addi-
tional funds to combat these pests.
The State for the past several
years appropriated money which
has been used for research and ex-
perimental work along biological
lines. Considerable progress has
been made in the development of
the "milky white disease" and the
propagation of parasites procured
from Japan. Trapping has also
been a part of the program, but
this method has only served to re-
tard the progress of the beetle into
new areas.
Authorities in charge Of Japa-
nese Beetle work fully realized
from the beginning that the Japa-
ncse Beetle would be serious
menace until a balance between
natural parasites and the beetle
existed. However, with the devel-
opment of new insecticides, such

Civic Assn.
Seeks Local
lmprovem MS

Several additions to the services
now given by our town government
were suggested by Hugh Dawson
Friday evening, January %, at the
regular monthly meeting of the
Rockville Civic Association held in
the County Agencies Building, tho
Board Of Education Office. In the
field of sanitation, Mr.. Dawson,
president of the Civic Association,
expressed his belief that the Town
Council should provide for compul-
sorry garbage and rubbish disposal
on fee basis, and that street
cleaning should be improved. When
discussing streets, Mr.. Dawson
said that parallel streets should
relieve the burden of traffic on the
main. street; and that repairs on
streets, such as resurfacing and
sidewalks, should be placed on The
front foot benefit" system.
Mr.. Dawson pointed out that the
street lights are not sufficient In
many residential areas. He felt
that the town, in cooperation per-
haps with the schools, should pro-
vide recreational facilities. with a
public park or playground, swim
ming pool, etc. In order to provide
these increased services, Mr.. Davi-
son suggested that Rockville might
need a town manager with the
Mayor and Council acting as an
advisory group. John Mcdonald,
town engineer, announced that a
new lighting plan has been drawn
up to cover the whole of Rockville.
When this plan is put into effect,
the main street should be four
times as bright as 1t Is now.
Clayton Gasque. president Of the
Rockville Chamber of Commerce,
urged members of the Association
to take more interest In the Chnm-
Der. There should be an exchange
of opinions and problems between
the civic group and the Chamber,
Mr.. Gasque declared, adding that
it was definitely not the purpose Of
the Chamber of Commerce to run
the town." He mentioned that the
Chamber has had fine cooperation
from the Town Council in its prof.
ects.
A progress report was made by
Ralph Williams for the recreation
committee on results to date of the
survey now being conducted
throughout the town to poll public
opinion on a summer playground
program. A total Of 293 reports
have been received. Out Of Theses.
293 families answering the ques-
tionnaire, 2s9 said they would be-
glad next Spring to contribute
$1.00 toward Fairgrounds; 252 out
of the 1903 were in favor Of using
town funds for Fairgrounds, and
148 said they could give some time
as volunteer help in the program.

Hearing On New
Code For Private
Schools Feb. 4

A new ordinance providing for
licensing and compulsory inspec-
tion of private schools in the coun-
ty was considered by the County
Commissioners on Tuesday. A pub
lie hearing on the proposed ordi-
nance has been set for IL A. M,
February "a, in the Courthouse.
The ordinance would take effect
May l.
Provisions of the ordinance
would be substituted for those now
in effect and are designated to "put
teeth" in regulations covering pri-
vate educational institutions.
Under the proposed ordinance,
no license would be issued to a
private school unless the applica-
tion is accompanied by certiii-
cate from a building inspector
stating that the institution is
structuarlly safe.
In addition, approval would have
to be given by the chief of the fire
department nearest the school and
by the county sanitation depart
ment. The building would be sub
ject to inspection at any time by
the county police.
No license would be issued for
any school where traffic hazard
exists because of it's location, or if
establishment of such an institu-
ton would disturb the peace and
quiet of citizens residing in its
vicinity"
Licenses would be renewable an
nually and no license would be re-
newed until an inspection of the
school is made by an appointee of
the county commissioners.
A letter from the PIT. A. of the
eolored schools asked that their
schools be,assigned full-time pub
lie health nurse. Y
Another letter, addressed to "Mr.
Brooke Johns, County Supervisor"
drew a laugh from press and "sit-
ters."
The commissioners were pleased
at good reports of snow removal
from county roads-they felt re-
paid for all the money invested in
new equipment. In many instances
State roads in the county were
cleared by county men. President
Johns deplored the fact that the
State with ample funds on hand
spent SO little on equipment for
this county and pointed out that
State men did the best they could
with the insufficient means they
had.
Acting County Engineer Blan-
ton S. Barnett, Jr., told the COM
missioners that the proposed con-
struction of Plyers Mill Road
would cost an estimated $4,000.
Work, he said, would probably
start about April 1. The roadway
will be &c feet wide with "a foot
pavement. The cost will be about
So percent greater than first esti-
mated, but when finished will pro-
vide short cut to Kensington.
There have been a few changes
in the Commissioners Office. Mrs.
Eleanor Lanigan, administrative
assistant, has been established in a
private Office as secretary to Presi-
dent Johns and ]. Ernest Hawkins,
clerk to the commissioners. Miss
Gladys Oden will act as secretary
to Supervisor l. G. McNayr.

Crop Damaged Little
By Heavy Rainfall
Most Cotton Gathered
Corn, Oats In Field

The heavy rains which have
fallen over the section within the
past two weeks have caused little
damage to crops, according to
Lewis N. Garrison, assistant coun-
ty agent. Since about IS per cent
of all cotton has already been
harvested, pasturage, oats and
corn are "about all that could have
been hurt" and judgingfrom road
side observance, this has been
negligible, Mr.. Garrison told.
The crop gathering season has
been delayed about one and one
half weeks. by the inclement
weather, Mr.. Garrison said, but
the season was far enough ad-
vanced of crops not to be damaged
by the several inches of rainfall,
especially in the hill section of the
county.
Water in the Delta section was
standing this week, as fair wea-
Their began again to give farm
ers chance to get the remain
ing harvest in.

Cotton Growers May
Apply For Protection

Holmes county cotton growers
who are eligible for Federal Crop
insurance may now apply for this
all-risk protection of their 1949
crop investments against loss
from unavoidable causes, j. E.
Chisolm, chairman of the county
crop committee, announced today.
Application forms for 1949 have
been received and are ready for
signature by eligible producers
at the Federal Crop Insurance
office at Lexington. -
The Federal Crop Insurance
policy offers protection at a low
premium rate of the investment
in producing cotton crop. The
protection is against the product
ion risks that man cannot control
such as weather, insects and plant
diseases. 1t is a protection that
assures the grower his crop in
vestment back in his worst crop
years so that crop failure will not
cost both his investment and the
expected profit.
A complete explanation of what
Federal Crop insurance offers and
the coverage and rate for each
producers farm are available at
the local FCIC office at Lexing-
ton. The FCIC committee is ur-
ging Holmes county cotton pro-
ducers who do not already have
this protection of their cotton
crop investments to call at the
county to find out whether they
, are eligible to participate and to
put this basic business principle
TO work in their farming opera
ton.
Crop insurance is good bust
ness for the large producer as
well as the small producer" Mr..
Chisolm says.
