1t was also reported an item
of interest in the publication,
ION THE LEVEL, which is pub.
Gshed by the Maryland State Soil
Conservation Committee, from
Montgomery County. The item
reported the largest continuous
acreage of contour strip cropping

ping. The farm is opeprated by
Paul Pearson.
Another item of interest re-
ported in the publication was by
Rex Fender who stated that even
though his silage corn yield was
lower this year due to dry wealth
er and it required a considerably
large acreage to fill his silo, the
job was accomplished in four
days. The corn was harvested
this year from contour strips. 1t
had previously taken four"days to
fill the silo from a conventionally
planted field. The point is that
the custom operator who did the
work covered larger acreage in
four days on strips than he did in
1858 on square fields.

Anti Unit
Sure of Help
From Stores

I'm sure that all the business
men in this county will support
the excellent work of the Mont
gomery County tuberculosis
Association" said E. Richard
Mcintyre of Silver Spring, at the
meeting of the Business Solicita-
ton Committee for the 1854
Christmas Seal Campaign. The
Seal Sale opened November %.
At least $4,000 dollars will be
needed to carry on the 1855 pro-
gram of the Association. Last
year the Montgomery County
citizens gave 10000 dollars and
can rightfully pride themselves
in the progress made in the con-
troll of tuberculosis. Approx
mately 5000 more persons were
x-rayed on the mobile unit this
year compared to last year, and
it is believed that there will be
an even greater increase in 1855.
A group of well-known citizens
have agreed to serve on the Bust
ness Solicitation Committee in
an effort to promote the cam
paign. They will contact local
businesses.
Attending the meeting were:
Peter Noble Lombard, MD, of
Silver Spring, chairman of the
1854 Seal Sale Committee; and
members of the Business Solici-
tation Committee - Robert A.

Board of Supervisors of the
Montgomery Soil Conservation
District have made plans for the
election of officers for the COM
ing year, according to James D.
King, Chairman of the Board.
The election meeting will be held
on Dec. 9th.
Plans were also made for a
regular monthly meeting which
will be held on the first Thurs
day of each month.
At the Board meeting tenta-
tive budget for the coming year
was approved. A total of $4,000
is allotted by the State Soil Con-
servation Committee to the Board
of Supervisors to be used in
Montgomery County for the con-
servation of soil and water re-
sources.
District equipment was listed
by the Board and was reported
to be in good order and in good
demand by farmers who are CO.
operating with the District pro
gram. Machinery items in heav-
lest demand are the heavy disk
and the cultipacker seeders.
Fred Hazen, Work Unit Con-
servationist cooperating with the
Board of Supervisors, reported
that accomplishments up to date
consist of 620 acres of contour
farming, 295 acres of strip crop
ping, 142 acres of pasture seed
ing, ISL acres of pasture improve
ment, 148 acres of establishing
perennial hay, 1000 lineal feet of
grassed waterways. There were
10 applications of farmers in the
county who had made application
for assistance. These were ap-
proved by the Board of Super
ViSorS.

the District will be held in late

Police Group to Ask LalU
Defining Alcoholic DriUing

with blood alcohol concentrations
in which the investigator was ac-
tually concerned with the blood al
cohol level associated with stag
gering drunkenness and not the
level at which the subjects tested
were under the influence of al
cohol within the meaning of the
proposed statute.
Those who cite this study as an
argument against the use of
chemical tests fail to mention that
the investigator who reported it
later wrote paper in which he
said, Summarizing, it is felt that
the concentration of OBS per cent
blood alcohol, level at which
many subjects are clinically in
toxicated, is inconsistent with the
safe operation of an automobile.
No evidence has been presented
by any investigator which would
serve to contradict this state
ment."
AS evidence of the fairness of
the proposed bill, DR.. Freimuth
cited a recent study in Sweden
which showed serious impair
ment of driving ability of profess
sional drivers with blood alcohol
above 0.10 per cent.
Hence, the recommended level of
OILS per cent alcohol in the blood
as presumptive evidence that the
subject was under the influence
of alcohol offers considerable lee
way and will not result in injus-
tice to anyone. DR.. Freimuth also
pointed out that the level of 0.15%
has been approved by the Nation
al Safety Council, the American
Medical Association and numerous
other organizations.

The Committee on Tests for Al
coholic Intoxication of the Mary
land Law Enforcement Officers
Inc, has proposed that there b,
adopted by the next session O
the General Assembly, a bill
which would define for the court!
what is meant by under the in
fluence" of alcohol as applied t.
motor vehicle operation. This bill
sets forth three zones of alcoho
concentration in the blood as fol
lows:
Zone 1-0.05 per cent or less is
presumptive evidence that the de
PENDANT was not under the influ
ence of intoxicants.
Zone 2-more than 0.05 per cent
but less than 0.15% does not give
rise to any presumption but may
be considered with other evidence
to determine the built or limo
hence of the defendant.
Zone 3-0.15 per cent or more is
presumptive evidence that the de
PENDANT was under the influence
bf Intoxicating liquor.
THE term under the influence
used in this bill is not to be con
strued as synonymous with drunk
enness", according to Dr. Henry
g. Freimuth, Psychologist in the
Office of the Chief Medical Exam
fner of Maryland and a member
pf the Committee. MANY per.
sons may be under the influence
pf alcohol to a degree which
would significantly impair their
ability to operate motor vehicle
without showing any of the usual
signs associated with drunken.
ness. The term under the influ.
ence of alcohol has been inter.
preted by the courts as a condi.
ton which deprives the person OF
that clearness of intellect and con.
troll of himself which he would
otherwise possess.
Chemical tests which measure
the concentration of alcohol in the
blood are accurate and reproduc.
ible. These tests may be applied
directly to the blood or to samples
or breath. The concentration of
alcohol in the latter body sub
stance is an accurate measure of
the alcohol concentration in ar
terial blood which in turn is a
measure of the alcohol concen-
tration in the brain. Numerous
studies have been made which
correlate blood alcohol concentra-
ton with driving ability and no
studies have as yet uncovered a
person whose ability was not i'm.
paired, within the meaning of the
court definition of under the in.
fluence, when the alcohol concen-
tration exceeded 0159o.

Arboreal giants still have theil
