Silver Spring Center
Opens Spastie Clinic
For County Children

Through the efforts Of a group
of parents, the Montgomery County
health department has opened a
clinic for the education and treat
ment of spastic children at its Sill
yer Spring Health Center. 900 Old
Bladensburg road, Silver Spring,
Md.
Dr. Harold H. Mitchell, county
director of school health. credited
the parents of l3 children who are
cerebral palsy sufferers for opening
of the new clinic yesterday. Form
ing a cerebral palsy association,
these parents hope to attract others
whose children suffer from the dis
abling and disfguring ailment.
On the basis of surveys else
where. DR.. Mitchell estimated there
are $50 spastic children in the
county. But too many parents. he
said have kept their children hid
den through shame, ignorance or
fear of ridicule.'
The ailment is caused by injury
to the brain before. during or after
BIRTH Through destruction of mo-
tor nerves. many Of its victims lack
muscular coordination. Other mus
cles kink up or twitch, uncontrol-
lablv.
( There are recent indications. DR.
Mitchell said palsy may result from
incompatibility of Rh-blood factors
of victims parents Between two
thirds and three-fourths of the chill
dren have no mental defects at all
and many of them are extremely
intelligent he added.
( Treatment of the ailment consists
primarily of training muscle action
or teaching the children to use
other muscles that compensate for
those that can't be used" Dr.
Mitchell explained.
/ He expressed the hope that opera
ton of the special clinic may open
the door for special training classes
for handicapped children in the
county's schools. Meanwhile. he
urged parents of spastic children
who are not under special care al
ready to contact either him or Dr.

Dorchester Assessors
Rebuked for 'Laxify'
In Listing Properly
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. 6.-Two Dor
chester County assessors have been
reprimanded by the State Tax Com
mission for failure to place certain
new property on the tax rolls. -
But Tax Commission Chairman
Joseph H. Rogan emphasized that
nothing more serious was involved
than "a laxity" in recording the
property.
| Reginald A. Jones, county super
visor of assessments. and Ray
Applegarth. an assessor, received
the reprimands yesterday at the
commission Offices
. The session opened with state
ment by Mr.. Rogan that its purpose
was to determine why there has
been this failure to put some new
property on the rolls"
Charges Recalled.
Charges that several new struc-
lures escaped taxation we're made
last November by John S. Skinner
Dorchester County treasurer.
When the commission, which
launched an investigation immedi-
ately, put the matter before Mr.
Jones and Mr.. Applegarth, Mr..
Rogan said, You declared there
was no such unrecorded property"
! He added, Well, that has not
been borne out"
| Gerald Mueller, supervisor of as
seSsments, conducted the tax COM
mission probe. He prepared a list
of IS items of Dorchester property
including dwellings. garages, and a
Warehouse-Which for one reason OF
another had escaped"
/ This list was read to Mr.. Jones
and Mr. Applegarth, who assured
the commissioners that most of the
structures listed had since been
assessed.
Seven of the properties, the COM
mission was told, might have escaped
assessment for 1949 but for Mr.
Mueller's inspection.
Mr. Hogan told Mr.. Jones and Mr.
Applegarth that his commission was
! quite disappointed to hear" the
Dorchester charges because We
haven't received any such COM
plants elsewhere"
Failure to Check Charged.
Much of the "laxity,' the COM
missioners noted, apparently was
due to failure to check and follow
through on new building permits.
Albert Ward, secretary of the
commission, pointed out that most
Of the new property involved was il
Cambridge, right under the nose;
of your assessors, and there seems tt
be no reason for missing that"
Mr.. Applegarth and Mr.. Jones ex.
planned that they did not make theil
survey for new property until the
regular review of the district to bt
assessed under the continuous as.
sessment plan. Then, pressure o1
work caused some omissions, they
