Swine Field Day
At University, Aug. Is

The Animal Husbandry Depart
ment of the University of Mary
land will hold a swine producers
field day at the University, August
Is. Malcolm II. Kerr, associate
professor in charge of the Univer-
sity's swine breeding is chairman
for the event.
One of the features of the field
day will be a progress report on
feeding trials using antibiotics in
the ration. A feeding trial using
bacitracin, one of the newer anti
biotics is currently being conducted
at the University. Four lots of II
hogs each were started on expert
mental rations June 8, and will be
continued until the pigs reach 200
pounds. Two lots are receiving 10
grams of bacitracin per ton, while
the other 2 receive a basic ration
for comparison. Partial results of
this trial will be given at the field
day.

Young and old came together
200 strong last Saturday in Wood
field, when one big happy family,
the King-Burdette clan enjoyed
their 18th reunion and outing. They
all claim as their ancestor, John
Duckett King, who came to Mont
gomery County in 1898, and set
tied near Cedar Grove.
1t was a double celebration for
Mr.. and Mrs. William H. Burdette
of Claggettsville, who observed
their 54th wedding anniversary. 1t
must have been a new experience
for 5-months old Marilyn Jean
Baker, who saw all her family tree
spreading out for the first time.
Marilyn, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee Baker, Woodbine, is also a
granddaughter of Julian P. King,
Cedar Grove, a member of the
Montgomery County delegation to
the General Assembly. The oldest
member present was Mrs. Beda c..
Burdette, IA, one of the eight liv-
ing children of Singleton L. King.

What most groups do at a family
reunion. They attended a church
service, sang, listened to talented
members of their own group, had
a business meeting, chatted about
family history, and ate. Maynard
King, a Metropolitan policeman,
was reelected president for his
third term, while Lansdale Bur-
dette of Browningsville was chosen
vice-president. Esther w. Beall,
Lewisdale, was named Secretary
treasurer.
Appropriately enough, the re-
union was held on the grounds of
the Woodfeld Methodist Church,
which once belonged to farm
owned by Singleton King. Rev.
Shook, pastor of Cedar Grove
Methodist Church, gave an inspir-
ing and challenging message on
Family Reunions, and Rev. Sun
derland, pastor of Kemptown Cir
cult, offered the opening and clos
ing prayers of the service.

Grateful Letters
Come To County
Lay Health Group

Bringing sweetness and peace to
homes where confusion and disor-
der have taken over due to an
emergency illness, is the work of
the housekeeping service of the
Public Health Lay Council of
Montgomery County. . o.. 4,
Grateful letters come from
families whose emergencies simp-
ly could not be COPIED with, with
out aid. Letters also come from
frustrated families who desper-
ately need the service and there
are just not enough housekeepers
to meet the need. This year out
of 1863 Bonafide applications, only
80 could be cared for. Mrs. Pearl
Mack, and Mrs. Emma Morse are
the two housekeepers to do the
job for the whole County. Unex-
pected injuries, home accidents,
and maternity calls usually have
to have priority, where neighbors
and relatives are unavailable. The
limited personnel cannot cope
with the cases where longer term
assistance is needed. Often house
keepers must be called away from
home where a few more weeks
would really see the family
through. They must leave, and
give first aid to a more desperate
situation.
If the people in Montgomery
County could go into these homes
and see what a few of their dol
lars do to relieve heartbreak and
worry, to keep little children Sc
cure and well, they would simply
feel better. To quote one of the
housekeepers, 80 often those who
haven't believed in giving, have
been the next to need our help"
There are Public Health Lay
Committees in the County giving
their time and effort the year
round, assisting doctors and nur-
SEES in the Health Department
Clinics whenever a lay person is
needed. They are located at Be-
thesda, Colesville, Damascus, Cal
thersburg, Olney, Kensington,
Poolesville, Potomac Valley, Rock
vile, Silver Spring, Takoma Park
and Viers Mill Village. Mrs. Har-
old Mitchell is President of the
Public Health Lay Council.

Tungsten at Stake
!

NNE REASON for the deadlock
~ over the cease-fire line in Ko-
rea is that precious tungsten de-
posts are at stake in the juggling
for position. For, without Korean
tungsten, this country won't have
enough tungsten to build jet en-
gines, armor-piercing shells and,
even more important, 10 supply
atomic energy needs.
The pie-shaped slice of land, held
by General Ridgway's forces above
the 38th parallel, contains rich, un-
tapped tungsten deposits. This is
one reason Ridgway has been or
dered to hold firm. Furthermore,
the largest tungsten mine in the
free world is located at Sangdon,
less than 80 miles below the 38th
parallel. This is another reason
Ridgway wants to hang on to his
stronger defense line above the 38th
parallel, and keep the Communists
as far from Sangdon as possible.
The shortage of tungsten is so
desperate that we have rushed
mining equipment to Korea, in
order to step up production at
the Sangdon mine and to re-
open small mines above the 38th
parallel.
1t is no secret that this country
Is over two million pounds short of
tungsten for civilian requirements
alone. Normally the United States
consumes about IA million pounds
a year, chiefly for metal-cutting
tools. This doesn't count the criti-
cally needed tungsten for jet en-
gines, armor-piercing shells and
atomic energy. In fact, our anti
tank warfare depends on these ar
mor-piercing shells, which can't be
built without tungsten. Yet the Rus
SLAMS know that the most tungsten
we can scrape up this year will be
about IL million pounds unless the
Korean mines can be rushed into
full production.

Larger Family Farms Hope
OF American Agriculture

The future of American agricul-
ture and the possibility of it meet
ing increasing production demands,
depends largely on the hope of in
creasing the size of family farms to
take full advantage of mechanical
ton.
This, in brief, is the opinion of the
bureau of agricultural economies
after an analysis of what happened
to make possible increased produce
ton during World War II.
Large farms, the bureau reported,
are now producing nearer to total
capacity than most family farms.
They are up-to-date, use more ad-
vanced technology, and are more
nearly balanced. Therefore, these
show few opportunities for further
increase in efficiency.
During the war an enormous shift
took place from small to larger
family farms. This shift enabled the
larger family farms to take advan-
tage of gains for mechanization.
There is doubt, however, that
large farm efficiencies' continue
beyond the point at which the farm
gains full advantage of mechanical
ton. Beyond the size of the fully
mechanical and up-to-date family
farm the problem of hired labor
intervene.
The future of agriculture depends
on increasing production on larger
family farms.

Declaration Of independence

Two newspapers have now tried
the experiment of asking Americans
to sign petition containing nothing
but the Declaration of Independence
and the original amendments of the
us. constitution. First was the
Capital Times of Madison, Wis,
which had Ill out of 112 people
refuse to sign. Second was the New
Orleans Item which had "a out of
SO refuse to sign.
The New Orleans petition was cir
culated after both President Tru-
man and this commentator had pub
licized the shocking Ill to l re-
fusal in Wisconsin. Nevertheless its
results showed how many of the
American people either have for
gotten the inspiring precepts of the
founding fathers or else become
afraid of the expression of liberal
ideas.
Here are some of the reactions re-
ceived by reporter Allen Johnson
when he circulated the New Orlans
copy of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and the Bill of Rights:
"Three men," reported John
son, "called me a Communist.
One said, MY family's with the
government, it would get them
in trouble. You know the FBI
checks up on these things.'"
Another read Jefferson's stirring
words: wherever any form of gov
eminent becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the right of the
people to alter or abolish it. ="
That" remarked the man ap-
preached by reporter Johnson,
sounds Russian to me-"
A housewife didn't like the amend
ment to the constitution guarantee
ing a free press and free speech.
THAT part ought to be narrowed
down." she said. "There's too much
talk going on" She refused to sign.
Maybe Senator Joe Mccarthy,
who has circulated thousands of
copies of his speeches through the
mails at the taxpayers expense,
should circulate free copies of the
Declaration of Independence in
stead. 1t might counteract some of
the fear he has instilled in peoples
minds.

has taken a strange stand regard
ing the crime committee. 1t puzzles
his colleagues in the senate.
AS chairman of the powerful SEN
ate rules committee, Hayden has
fatty refused to authorize more
money to be spent on the crime
probe. This has caused the crime
committee, now chairmanned by
conscientious Herbert O'Connor of
Maryland, to withdraw its investi-
gators from New York and other
areas. 1t also means that the COM
mittee will have to wind up its
work around September.
