AT Arlington Hospital

Hope has been revived that con.
struction of an addition to Arling-

A drive for funds in the Airing

ect. State approval of Federal

balance of $4,000 to be raised
locally.

The United States Public Health
Service has authorized a tentative
allotment of $2.221,l9O to Vir-
ginia for the fiscal year 1951-52.

SO million would be required to
grant all the requests from all
over the State, he added. The
Arlington Hospital project is one
of about Is to be considered by
the commission.
The Senator. who is member
Of the commission. said he is hope
,ful. however, that the Arlington
grant will be approved. Delegates
j. Maynard Magruder and George
Damn said they will join Mr.
Fenwick in urging favorable con-
sideration of the application.
The funds would build a wing
which woulo add 10 beds to the
hospital. Through a rearrange-
ment of space. the number of beds
for children would be increased
from Is to SIS.
Patients Turned Away.
Hospital Administrator John J,
Anderson said the hospital, which
handles more emergency cases
than any other hospital in the
State. is forced to turn away be-
tween 100 and 125 non-emergency
patients a month because beds are
not available.
The city of Falls Church has
authorized a $1,000 grant to the
hospital. Arlington and Fairfax
Counties have not yet acted. how

Idictions.

No Football Workouts.
TN the late afternoon they were
allowed to exercise. There were
no football workouts. The boys
wore shorts. They played softball
and played catch with footballs,
but only long enough to blow the
cobwebs from their brains. Then,
after supper, they hit the books
again. Often they attended night
classes.
Those pleasure trips to New

positive proof that West Points

.Low-Cost Ways
Of Saving Soil
Conservutionist Says
Price Must Be Within
Means of Farmers
By Jumes Birchfield
Ster Siaff Correspondent

FREDERICK, Md, Aug. TO-
Effective soil conservation must
be practical and within easy
reach Of the farmers pocketbook,
according to DR.. Gordon M.
Cairns, newly elected chairman
of the State Soil Conservation
Committee. -
Addressing the opening session
yesterday Of a two-day meeting
of the State committee and State
soil conservation district super
visors, DR.. Cairns told conserva-
ton technicians to work always
in close cooperation with the
farmer in making farm conserva-
tion plans.
Conservation, "Dr. Cairns said"
Is to make the best use of SoLs
so as to maintain maximum crop
production and the utilization Of
resources so as to provide the
greatest benefit to ALL"
He said farmers must build UP
their soils so that they may pro-
duce large crops year after year.
Millions Move to Feed.
During the next 20 years, he
said, farmers will have many mil
lions more people to feed than
during the last two decades.
Citing Maryland's conservation
record during the last IA years, ne
said one out Of every 10 farms has
been conservation-planned. At this
rate, he added, it will require %
years before all Free State farms
have conservation plans.
DR.. T B. Symons, chairman Of
yesterdays sessions, said recent
floods in the Missouri Valley
should bring home to US in the
East the Importance of maintain
ing and preserving the land"
DR.. Symons, retired dean of ag-
riculture at the University Of

ing conservation practices on
farms in Frederick County's Mid
dletown Valley.
Productive Area.
This valley, which lies between
1.-THE South Mountains and the
Catoctin Mountains, is considered
one of the most productive areas
in the East. Here many of the
farmers have gone in heavily for
strip cropping and other conserva-
ton practices.
There was visit also to the
Thrasher farm, where mass
demonstration three years ago
showed how a farm could be re-
made in a single day.
There could be seen the results

porting. In 1941 that aim was
achieved, and the following year

work to the Episcopal church.
