Camp EchOLake FundDriUe
For 500, 900 Begins

The 100000 fund raising cam
paign for Camp Echo Lake started
with a bang June II when approx
mately 100 persons attended an
organization dinner at the Ken
wood Club.
Drew Pearson, columnist, who
last summer turned over to the
sponsoring group a $4,000 check,
was among the speakers.
Congressman Dewitt S. Hyde
outlined the plans for the cam
paign to be conducted intensively
from August to September Is.
The campaign, he emphasized,
would seek the active working and
financial support of the hundreds
of philanthropic groups here in the
county, as well as contributions,
large and small, from private
individuals.
The 100000, as he described it,
would build, equip, and run for one
year camp large enough to take
care of over 400 Montgomery
County children whose needs for a
camp experience are great.
Judge Stedman Prescott, a
trustee of the Montgomery County
Youth Opportunity Camp, Inc, the
sponsoring group, was POSTMASTER.
Judge Alfred ID. Moves, of the
Juvenile Court, described the need
of children in the country for such
camp, and H. l. Patterson,
president of the Opportunity Camp,
Inc, described Camp Echo Lake a
1877 acre tract just 10 miles west
of Frederick, Maryland.
Persons who attended the dinner
have been invited by the group to

frame, the width should be 5 feet.

it would be safe to sow seed in

shiny days in the spring the cover

down at night and on windy days.
The only heat a cold frame gets
is from the sun. Sash admits this
to high degree. Even with sash,
it is necessary to open slightly, by
sliding down or propping up with
small block for ventilation.
Avoid letting cold wind blow on
the plants.
If in making a level site for the
cold frame some top soil has to
be removed, work up the floor on
the bed and fill in several inches
of a mixture, by measure, of one
fourth we'll rotted manure, leaf
mold or compost; one-fourth sand;
and one-half top soil from the gar
den. This is an excellent medium
for sowing seed and growing seed,

several inches of this, even when
no top soil has been removed for

of about 6 inches outside OF

.Firenen Urge
Bill II Veto
By Council

Veto, of Bill No. IL was urged
on the County Council in a resolu-
ton adopted by the County Assoc
citation of Volunteer Firemen at
its monthly meeting in Burtons-
vile last week
The firemen oppose Bill No. IL
because it gives the Council the
power to set the tax rate, furth-
er removing control of the depart
ments from the communities. The
bill sets no limit on the tax rate.
Current laws for the operation of
the various departments provide a
definite limit, though it varies with
the needs in different areas.
In four of the fourteen fire tax
areas in the county, no fire tax
has ever been collected. The local
fire departments have operated on
a strictly volunteer basis, raising
all their funds by personal effort,
except the $500 a year allowed by
the county for each piece of APP
paratus, not to exceed three.
The firemen also point out that
the bill provides for the submits
sion of budget to the Council, but
specifically states in another para
graph that the budget need not
be followed by the departments
after it has been accepted by the
Council.
The volunteers voted special
thanks to Mrs. F. C. Poll for her
work with the Civic Federation,
which has aligned with the volun-
teer firemen in requesting the veto
of Bill No. IL.
The meeting was presided over
by Robert T. Cuff, president of
the county association of fremen.
