Washington County

By the Assoeioted Press

HAGERSTOWN. Md, Sept. s.
Washington County Commission
ers have voted to borrow $2.5 mil
lion to build four new elementary
schools and an addition to a fifth

It was the first time since World

to borrow money.
The State was asked yesterday
to float bonds for the amount and
lend the money to the county.

Ordered Found
Seckinger Told to
ReoIIocote Sc, 500 as
Start in Program

District health officials today
were combing their department
accounts to find about $500 fol
additional tuberculosis laboratory
equipment.
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, Dis
trict health officer, is under a fiat
order from Commissioner Renah
F. Camalier to find the amount
among existing funds to put new
life in the city's program against
the disease.
Commissioner Camalier, who is
in charge of health and welfare
matters, reported he has told the
health officer that II expect him
to find the money"
DR.. Seckinger will hold another
in series of emergency confer
ences with the Commissioner to-
morrow to discuss reallocation of
department funds.
Part of $83,S34 Request.
at will be a simple question
Of robbing Peter to pay Paul"
DR.. Seckinger said. But we want
to get this laboratory equipment
now so we can have at least a
small beginning for our program
to eradicate the disease"
The $500 was listed as part of
q $93.834 budget request for ex-
banded tuberculosis care forward
ed to Mr.. Camalier yesterday.
The total request represents the
minimum requirements to take
care of glaring deficiencies in the
Districts control of the disease,
DR.. Seckinger reported.
The total amount, however, will
not be forthcoming until the be-
ginning of the 1854 fiscal year,
next July, and then only if Con-
gress sees fit to include it in the
appropriations.
Budget Being Shaped.
But as for the present prelim-
inarieS, Mr.. Camalier said he will
present the health officers request,
with his own firm approval, to the
other two Commissioners at to-
morrow's regular Commissioners
Board meeting. Should the as
Sembled city heads back the re-
quest, the $93,834 will be incor-
porated into the 1854 budget now
being whipped into shape for
presentation next month to the
Federal Budget Bureau.
Commissioner Camalier said the
new laboratory equipment is a
vital first step in the overall ex-
pansion program. Right now, he
said, the laboratory Is we'll
equipped. But key shortages make
it impossible to complete culture
tests for tuberculosis patients and
others. DR.. Seckinger has pointed
out that cultural examinations of
about $500 speciments of sus-
pCCJSU VI 1lCWIy u1SCOFClCO SooCO
are required for tuberculosis alone.
$4,000 for Technicians.
The Commissioner emphasized
that six additional employees also
are needed to staff the bureau of
laboratories to carry out the tu-
berculosiS work. Cost of these
technicians would total $4,000
and is requested in the 500, 900
budget request for the Health
Department.
For the present, however, the
department will have to stretch
its present staff to expand the
laboratory functions.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Camalier added,
he has a busy schedule Of speeches
to make to the organized citizenry
and professional groups to drive
home the message that we must
do more to stamp out tuberculosis
here"

When I at last made an arrange
ment which really satisfied me
and incidentally the judges felt
I had accomplished something
important to myself. There have
been small inter-club shows since
then. and larger ones in the COM
munity, and I am no longer scared,
nor do I dream about them at
night before or after.
I have learned to use the ma
'terial in my garden, and my
|neighbor's, or from the fields and
roadsides. When I buy flowers, I
feel I know how to care for them
so they will last. and I can use
them so they please me and are
suited to their surroundings-in
color, design and texture.
My winter reading has gone far
beyond the ubiquitous seed cata-
logue. which is certainly not to be
despised. and is one of the best
ways to increase gardening
knowledge. I now include books
on unusual plant material, how to
dry summer flowers and weeds for
winter use. articles on color and
design, and books on the broad

trees.

In the spring I learned to

First Flower Show.
In summer, found that color
combinations were just as i'm
portant as quantity of materials,
and that peonieS were undoubted-
ly more effective in an oriental
grouping than massed in a large
urn. Late summer and autumn
gave a wealth of material to be
dried and used in winter. To
achieve this I had only to follow
"a few simple rules.
Then came the first flower
show. It did not seem so formi-
dable, but somehow the results
were all bad. I learned that a
divergence from the stated rules
would be penalized. I learned
that few well chosen flowers
were more effective than masses
of second-rate material.
Mechanics can make or ruin an
arrangement. Stems must not
wobble, pin holders must not
show. And a beautiful line is
always to be preferred to leaves

great pleasure from large bowls
of zinnias and marigolds in sum-
mer masses of narcissuses in spring,
and chrysanthemums and asters
in autumn. But winter worried
me. as I could never seem to find
anything but gladioluses. My ef-
forts made them look stiff and
funereal, so I was reduced to dish
gardens and terrarium. Only the
Christmas interval frightened my
home and pleased me at all.
So I bought a book on flower
arrangement. and then I was
more confused than ever. The
chapter on color was fascinating
and helpful, but design floored
me. And the Heaven, Earth and

it is usually dangerous to save

Controlling diseases in the
home garden isn't a matter of
just spraying or dusting with
chemicals.
Many factors are involved, says
S. B. Femme, plant pathologist at
VPI.
Good growing conditions are
important. Vigorous plants are
not as susceptible to diseases as
weak plants. Destruction of old
diseased plant refuse around the
garden, and proper fertilization
and culture, will help provide
good growing conditions.
Follow a carefully planned ro-
tation so plants of the same fami-
ly will not be grown in the same
part of the garden in succeeding
years. Many plant diseases attack
all members of the same family.
Buy good seed and disease-free
plants from a reliable dealer.

BY the Assoelofed Press


The Department of Agriculture
once again has given its official
Endorsement to the encouragement
of the home gardener interested in
food preservation.
It is a highly debatable point
the home gardener actu-
ally ever needs encouragement, but
one may presume that a nod from
official sources has the effect Of
directing his attention more in the
direction of fruit and vegetable
raising and diverting his attention
somewhat from flowers.
Seedsmen and horticulturists
also do their share in stimulating
the interests of the home gardener
by constantly producing new types
of fruits and vegetables which
most hobby gardeners are tempted
to try.
Gold Medal Vegetables.
This year, for instance, the all
America selections include two
gold medal awards. One is a new
bush snapbean named Wade, u
