Make Appointments
Urge FluOridatiOn
Accept Resignation

The County Council on Tues
day turned down two proposed
amendments to the coming ordin-
ance. One, submitted by the Mary
lad-Natoinal Capital Park and
Planning Commission, would have
permitted construction Of charit-
able or philanthropic institutions,
such as Red Cross and YMCA
buildings, in residential A, or sim
gle-family detached areas.
The other coming would have per-
mitted operation of tourist homes
in any coming areas along a State
road. Tourist homes are not now
permitted in residential A areas.
The Coucil urged the new Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion to take prompt steps toward
fiuoridation of the county's water
supply. The resolution was the
second adopted by the Council in
favor of fouridation in the past
year.
Mrs. Kathryn L. Lawlor, the
Council member who proposed the
resolution, said the Council should
re-assert its stand now that the
three-member commission has all
new members, all Republican. The
previous Democratic commission
said flouridation was too costly and
that it's benefits were not certain.
The new commission members an
nounced on Tuesday that they are
studying the matter.

Milk Production Is
Tipped By Rotating
Pasture Feeding

Beating the farmers rising
costs of milk production is the
goal of Richard Ayers, of Gray
town.
County Agent Fred T. Grimm,
stopped at the Ayers farm recent
ly to help with a spitlebug prob
lem. On arrival he found Ayers
building temporary fences in his
new pasure field. A new seeding
of alfalfa, ladino clover and tim
othy was making excellent growth.
The field was to be divided into
four plots. The 20 head of milk
ing cows plus young stock are to
be rotated from one plot to an
other.
Ayers feels that fast growing,
lush meadow is the way to feed
cows and produce milk efficiently.
Aperiodic rest for each of the four
plots in his pasture has proven
valuable to Ayers in his past eX-
perience.
