Mr.. Dulles was bitterly angry
at the French National Assem-

the American-backed plan for a
European Defense Community.
EDO would have incorporated
German troops into an all

baked at the last minute at

To meet the situation, Mr..
Dulles declared:
/. The United States should
reappraise its foreign policies,
particularly those in relation to
Europe.
2. The West must do what it
can to restore sovereignty to the
Federal Republic of Germany so
that it can make "a substantial
military contribution" to the
anti Communist bloc.
8. The Foreign Ministers of

Countries should meet in an
emergency session to consider
the shambles left by the death
of EDO.
Since 1850. the United States

With this plan dead. the United

owitz of Johns Hopkins-a new
statewide program-sponsored by
the Association, in cooperation
with the Maryland State Health
Department; is being launched
with the objective of establishing
a uniform medical program for
the prevention of rheumatic few
er.
The project, estimated to cost
approximately $500 annually,
will make available to all ap-
proved clinics in the city of Bal
timore, Maryland State clinics
and the two convalescent homes
now accepting rheumatic fever
patients, oral penicillin for use as
prophylaxis agent. The drug is
to be used exclusively for the in
dlgent and the medically INDECENT
and not for use of the physician
for his private patients.
The distribution of the PENCIL.
lin to clinic patients will have
two governing factors:
1. Patients under the age of
Is years must have a well es.
tablished history of rheumatic
fever or rheumatic heart disease.
2. If over Is years of age, the
patient must have had an attack
within the past 5 years.

causes here are moving suddenly
into the line of fire, excited hunt
ers firing quickly at game, hunt
ers not being seen or being mis-
taken for game. The principal
causes of casualties occurring
through accidental discharge of
guns are those wherein the hunt
er stumbles or falls; the trigger
catches in brush; humping or
jolting guns during removal from
a vehicle or boat; the gun dis
charging while the hunter is
crossing through or over fence;
horseplay; and during loading
and unloading.
When hunting, Mr.. Judge urges
wearing clothing which makes
you clearly visible. Red or orange
is recommended. White may be
mistaken for a deer's tail, he eau
toned.
Treat every gun as though it
is loaded making sure that the
muzzle is always pointed in a
safe direction. Never keep a load
ed gun in the house under any
circumstances. If a gun is kept
in the home, make sure the am.
munition is stored separately, es-
pecially out of sight and reach of
children.

WOnen's Club
Admits Nine,
Plans Future

Reception of nine new and re.
instated members and the adop.
ton of calendar promising ex-
tensive activity for the fall and
winter season highlighted the
first fall meeting of the Rock
vile Women's Club last week.
New to the members are the
art, drama, speech and literature
groups now being formed within
the club for the benefit of mem.
bers and the community.
Among the social projects that
will be undertaken by the group
are contributions to Camp Echo
Lake, sponsorship of the Camp
Fire Girls and assistance to the
Red Cross recreation units at hos
pitfalls.
In the field of international
relations, the club plans to or
ganiZe a tour of the United
Nations in New York and send
a package OF educational books
to Latin America.
Last weeks meeting was fea.
tured also by the playing of

vicinity; when feeding on vegetable
matter flesh is excellent, but when
feeding on fish, mollusks and such
the meat is too "gamey." Decoys
well and dives to considerable
depths in search of food; when
wounded it can swim under water
with only the upper part of head
and bill showing, as can many
other species of waterfowl; as
sembles in great RATS on open
water during day; a fast flyer.
MANAGEMENT: AS in the case
of other waterfowl, drainage and
encroachment of civilization has
reduced breeding and resting areas,
and also food; heavy shooting has
also exacted it's toll; by increasing
suitable breeding and feeding
grounds as is being done by Ducks
Unlimited in Canada, and increas-
ing the areas used by them in the
United States in winter, much can
be done to restore both species to
something like their former num-
bers.
VALUE: Its value for sport is
great; provides excellent food to
thousands of persons when feeding
on suitable plant life.

RANGE: Breeds from Alaska to
west coast of Hudson Bay; winters
on the Atlantic coast south to
North Carolina, also on the Gulf
coast. Both species common on
Chesapeake Bay and Chincoteague
Bay during the winter.
DESCRIPTION: Head, neck, breast
and upper back of the male are
black; the head and neck of the
female is brown or amber; the re-
Elections on head of the male of
greater scaup is purplish, on the
head of the male lesser scaup it is
greenish. Length of male of great
er scaup about 10 inches, the less
er scaup II inches; the females
are smaller in both species; the
females have a white spot on the
head at base of bill.
BREEDING: Nests mostly on
ground near water and on marshes;
lays from to IL olive brown eggs
which hatch in about three or four
weeks; sometimes more than one
female will lay eggs in same nest
increasing total to 20 to 25 eggs.

Moved Trees Need
Frequent Drinks
To Stay Vigorous

Transplanted trees are likely to
be super-thirsty for several years.
Summers drying winds and scan
ty rainfall deplete their vigor.
This is true for both decidous
trees and evengreens.
Best bet to keep the transplants
flourishing is to generously soak
them over the entire root areas,
generally the spread of the
branches, advises ]. L. Heston,
field representative of the Davey
Tree Expert Co.
Weekly intervals are usually
about right. Under extreme
brought conditions a five day
schedule is better. Transplants
even in the third or fourth year
in their new locations may re-
quire this attention. That's be-
cause in many cases roots are
still underbalanced in relation to
lush top growth.
Home owners usually attend
zealously to the watering chores
the first year or two their new
tree adorns the home grounds.
Because they believe the arboreal
pet is then well established, they
are inclined to overlook the need
for deep watering later.
With Still-curtailed root sys.
TENS, transplants in their third
and fourth years must obtain
their moisture from a too-limited
soil mass.
But these trees need help in the
diet department, as well. In adj
dition to frequent watering dur
ing dry spells, feeding fifth a tree
food high in nitrogen content will
give an assist to growing vigor.
And healthy trees are less likely
to be damaged by insects and
other troubles that are often in
furious to ailing trees.

Maryland Nimrods Cautioned
Against Gun Carelessness

Throughout Maryland, hunters
are once more heading into wood
and field hoping to bag a wild
turkey or other form of wildlife.
Unfortunately, according to j..
Charles Judge, of the State
Health Department, many will be
less fortunate than their quarry
by becoming victims of their own
or some other hunters careless
ness.
Even more tragic, Mr.. Judge
says, is the fact that almost as
many more will suffer a similar
fate, not in the field but in the
sanctuary of their homes. Usual.
ly these will be the younger mem
bers of the family-the ones who
chance to be in the line of fire
when "the gun that isn't loaded"
is accidentally discharged.
Judge stated that throughout
the nation, the National Safety
Council estimates 1900 persons
die annually as a result of fire.
arms accidents. Countless others
are seriously injured. OF this to-
tai the greatest percentage are
boys and. young men ID to "a
years of age.
In Maryland, the outlook is not
much brighter, Mr.. Judge con-
tinued, stating that in the last
four years alone SO residents have
been killed accidentally by fire
arms. These have occurred main.
ly in preparing to clean guns, or
knocking it off a rack or other
support, pure horseplay, or show
ing a supposedly unloaded fire
arm to a friend.
About one-third of all fatal &C.
cidental shootings occur in con-
nection with hunting trips, Mr..
Judge points out. The principal

BY Mrs. Philip Marcus
10. 1904

The Fifth Annual Memorial
Service for deceased members of
the Kensington Volunteer Fire
Department, held at st. PauPs
Methodist Church in Kensington
on Oct. 10, was one of the most
quietly impressive ceremonies
this columnist has ever attended.
Over two hundred members of
the Department, the Auxiliary,
their guests and the church's con-
gregation gathered for the regu-
lar worship service conducted by
the Rev. Edward H. Porter, and
the Memorial Service which fol
lowed, conducted by President
Charles MacMeekin of the De-
partment.
Among the distinguished
guests who attended the service
and the luncheon which followed
were Dewitt Hyde and Mrs.
Hyde; Edwin J. Ryan, John Nor
throp; John w. Smith, president
of the Maryland State Firemen's
Association; Lewis Graybill, pres
ident of the Montgomery County
Firemen's Association; Montgom-
cry County Fire Marshal Charles
Howe; and Halle Chisholm, chair
man of the Kensington Fire
Board.
At the luncheon, Mr.. Hyde
praised the spirit of volunteer
firement. He held these men as
a symbol which proves that in
dividuals can do necessary deeds
ION their own-Without waiting
for George to do it."
An unfortunate accident Just
prior to the luncheon prevented
Mr.. Ryans speaking to the gath
ering. AS he was leaving his car,
a finger on his left hand was
mashed in the car door, and Ray
Lynch of the Kensington Depart
ment's Rescue Squad took him
to Washington Sanitarium for
treatment.
was sorry to hear of the
death of Mr.. John G.. Anderson
of 1908 Georgia Avenue. Mr..
Anderson was one of the early
resident of the GIenmont and
Vicinity Citizens Association,
and though the AndersOns had
no children, he was most active
in helping obtain recreation
centers for the Wheaton. Glen
mont area.
He was particularly noted for
the lilac bushes at his home
and whenever folks would stop
by to comment on them (even
strangers), Mr.. Anderson would
get out shovel and dig up
bush for the appreciative COM
mentatOr.
Mr.. Anderson will long be re-
membered i'm the community as
one of its more ciVic-minded
citizens. 1t is too bad he has
left us, because we need those
who, in the words of Reverend
Porter at Sundays service
"Will not drop the baton
meaning those who will carry
on the ideals and traditions of
our fOrefathers.
Mr.. Anderson is survived by
his wife, Agrippina v. Ander.
son. and his brother, George
Anderson of Washington.
