it should be kept in mind that not

also supplemental iron. copper and
cobalt are necessary in some To-

usually advise as to which mineral

keep the calves away from con
taminated premises.
Calf pals should be cleaned
thoroughly; milk is an excellent
place for germs to grow and multi
ply. If possible, the colostrum
first milk after BIRTH should be
saved and fed to the calves. Co
lostrum contains needed vitamins
and helps build resistance to In
fection.
Besides following sound manage
ment and feeding practices, the
calf raiser should be alert for
signs of disease, and take prompt
steps If they appear.

Safety For The
School Children

Cpl. Charles @. Seek, School
Safety Patrol Police Coordinator,
says:
"Now that school is about to
open it is time to start thinking
about the safety Of our children.
There will be around $4,000 chill
dren in Montgomery County going
back to school. There will be
around one hundred school buses
back on the streets transporting
children to. and from school. This
means that we must be extra care
full in driving vehicles and walking
across busy Streets"
Last year, fifty-five schools had
total of 800 boys and girls serv-
ing at dangerous crossings and on
school busses. AS result, there
was not one child killed or injured
at any school crossing or bus COW
cred by patrol. A record which is
second to none in the world and of
which we are all very proud.
Officer Seek advises:
~ The driver of vehicle, upon
meeting or overtaking any school
bus which has stopped on the high
way for the purpose of receiving
or discharging any school child or
children, schoolteacher or teachers,
shall come to full stop at least
ten (10) feet from such school
bus, either in front or rear thereof
as the case may be, and such
school bus, edesdimdh5efHo
vehicle shall remain standing until
the children are received or dis
charged and the school bus has
again started.
(2) Be especially careful in driv-
ing through a school zone.
(3) Pedestrians should cross the
street only at an intersection with
the ego" signal of an officer, school
safety patrol, or light. If the in
tersection is not controlled by the
aforementioned be sure to wait
until the street is clear of traffic
before crossing.

Mrs. Thompson Entertains COmus
On September End former All
Club Girl and now a Homemaker,
Mrs. Mile Thompson, of Comus,
entertained her club. These young
homemakers certainly have attrac-
tive, well arranged homes and it is
delight to see them poised and
happy to greet the older women in
their own homes.
The club made plans for it's
Community Halloween Party. This
club has three community parties
year, the Halloween Party, a
lovely Christmas Tree Celebration
at the cross roads in Comas. and
an Easter Egg Hunt in the Sprin...
Everyone in the Community is in
vited to these gatherings and they
are especially planned for all the
children. During the year the club
raises funds to cover expenses of
their entertainments.
GlenmOnt Club Meeting
The Glenmont Club met in the
evening of September End at the
home of Mrs. Jack Davis. This
club also had an excellent attend
ance. The President reported to
the Agent that she had been asked
to contact the Agent to see if a
new club could be formed in the
Wheaton area. The only problem
will be the matter of time. The
Agent does not want to attempt
more night meetings.
Mrs. Pendleton, of the Wheaton
area, called the Agent the next
morning and said she had ~
nelghbors who were interested and
it is hoped that she will succeed
in reaching the quota that is need
ed in forming a new club.
Agent On Radio
On Saturday, September 4th. the
Editor of the Sentinel, Mrs. Elsie
White Haines had the Home Dem
onstration Agent as guest on her
new program over WGAY at
1915. Extension Service is GER
tainly fortunate in having opport-
unities to take part on the local
radio stations and to tell the pub
lie the nature of the program here
in the County.
At The Parade
On the 9th of September Mrs.
Jesse Briggs, of Gaithersburg, in
vited Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Smith,
your Agent and a group of her
fellow Homemakers Club members
to sit on her porch and review the
fine Labor Day Parade at Gath
ersburg. We were extremely happy
to see the float Of the Gathers
burg H m m a k ers Club and
that Of the Washington Grove Club
pass in review along with all the
other evidences Of fine cooperation
from business and professional
firms. 1t certainly shows thatAthis

that firms and clubs play in the

Among The Homemakers

The Council of Homemakers
Executive Board met at the home
of Mrs. Andrew Thompson, at
Ednor, on September 3rd. A cover
ed luncheon was served to the SO
people present; after which a bust
ness meeting was conducted by the
President of the Council, Mrs.
Howard Smith. Mrs. Smith read a
letter from the State President of
Homemakers' Council, Mrs. Walter
Bromley, outlining some of the
goals the State Council would like
to see reached by the various coun-
ties this year.
The Fall Meeting
Mrs. John Zimmerman and Mrs.
Irving Rimel, of the two Home
wood Clubs, extended an invitation
to have the Fall Meeting at the
kensington School, on Saul Road.
These two club members are very
enthusiastic about plans for the
meeting and the whole Council
voted unanimously to have the
meeting in that area. 1t will run
from 10 A. M. to 4:3O P. M. on
Thursday, October 7th.
Program Changes
Miss Turner asked the group
to let her change the program
of Work. for her meeting with
the clubs after January LIST so that
she will not have such a heavy
load of club meetings every other
month. Under the new plan she
will meet with the clubs that come
in the second and fourth weeks of
the month in January and those
that meet in the first and third
weeks in February. The Project
Leaders will be trained two
months in advance so that the
groups can be cared for by the
Project Leaders at the times that
the Agent is not with them.
Seven New Clubs?
As seven neighborhoods have
asked to have clubs, it is the only
way that the Agent can work out
a plan so that she can find time
to hold meetings in these new
areas in the daytime. Our goal for
this year was four new clubs and
one hundred and fifty new mem
bers but it looks as though we can
exceed our goal.
