The swimming meet at Con-
gressional Country Club pool last
night was q stalemate as far as
the Takoma Park and Ambassador
tank teams were concerned. Each
captured three Of the six District
AAU senior outdoor champion
ships at stake.
The draw, q moral victory for
the undermined Takomans, can
be directly attributed to the ef-
forts Of Bette Roland who brought
two D. c. titles into the Takoma
camp. Before q crowd Of nearly
400 she won the 150-yard individ-
ual medley and the 220 freestyle.
That evened the score in the race
for titles after Ambassador forged
into an early lead when Irving

successfully defended their diving

"Open Your Heart
Time Is Proclaimed

From February to % has been Of
ficially proclaimed as "Open Your
Heart" time in Maryland by Cover
nor Lane.
During this time the Maryland
Rheumatic Fever and Heart Associ-
alton is attempting to raise funds to
relieve the inadequate conditions
existing in the state for care of con-
valescent victims of rheumatic fever,
increase the facilities for early dag
nosis of the disease which kills more
school age children than any other
disease and cripples and handicaps
many thousands more; and also con-
tributes towards the financing of
medical research to aid in discovering
its causes and cure.
Locally the drive is being spon-
sored by the American Legion post,
with Fred c. Kisner chairman of the
committee, and Maurice Brookhart,
Wayne Sewers, and l. R. Rudy, Jr.,
as members.
Kisner said last night that the
state committee had just furnished
him with eleven plastic hearts, SINH
lar to the coin collectors of the March
of Dimes, which would be distributed
in several business places this week
He said contributions would be strict
~ voluntary with no house to house
solicitation and no collections at
theatres.
DR.. Francis F. Schwentker, presi-
dent of the Maryland association, re-
minds that rheumatic fever and
rheumatic heart disease cause almost
five times as many deaths as in
fantile paralysis, whooping cough,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and
spinal meningitis combined and is a
No. l killer of the country"
This is the first year for any local
organization in this volunteer work.

Roads Delegations
HarasS Commissioners

The mild weather of the winter has
caused more than the usual number
of delegations to appear before the
County Commissioners with COM
plants about the condition of roads in
their vicinities.
This week was no exception with at
least six groups appearing at the
court house. They complained of the
mud, deep ruts, and the general ter
rible condition.
They were listed in the minutes as
follows:
Clarence Stephen ct al, concerning
Rock Lodge road.
Robert Jay and Lawrence Glover,
road to Finzel.
Ted Russell ct al, Barton toward
Merrill.
Jonas Broadwater, Big Run road.
Noah Lichty ct al, road near Gort-
ner.
John Bachtel, James Childs, ct al,
Kempton road.
In each case the groups were told
that the Commissioners would give
due consideration to the trouble and
would make improvements as soon
as possible.
To top off the rugged week the
Commissioners received letter from
one of Vindex delegation which had
appeared before the Commissioners
just recently. 1t was an advance val
entine titled "Politician," and carried
the following message:
I'm impressed by you1 backslapping
And the promises you make;
That's why you Il arrays get my vote
