End Division Mining Activities


 A second shipment of tin con- centrates from the Lost River op eration of US. Tin Corp, amount ing to 138 tons valued at $150,000, has been made to the Texas City Tin Shelter.
 Coplin Consolidated Enterprises, a gold dredging operation on the Nuikluk River at Council, is an- other recent applicant for Terri toril tax exemption as a "new operation.'
 Rodioactivities
 The TOM was called upon to look into recently reported ura- nium strike at Shirley Lake, no miles northwest of Anchorage. Remembering the sad experience of the "FishWheel' gold strike on the Yukon in 1949, and a portion of the Territorial law establishing the TOM, which says it will pro tect the interest of the investor," an examination was made of the area in question. A word of eau ton was extended, through the local press to those people i'm properly equipped and not aware of the very unique properties of raidoactivities and the special knowledge required to effectively evaluate findings, to thread with caution"
 The general area investigated does give radioactive count above normal or "background," ]" but commercial grade material had not been found nor had any minerals causing the radioactivity been identified.
 Since the Shirley Lake investi- gation, several other "discoveries" in Alaska have been reported by the press, but the TOM wishes to remind the general public that ur- anium exploration and mining is a very specialized field. Once a true mountaineering mineral has been located and identified, it re- quires someone with plenty of capital and knoW-hoW to develop a prospect to the point where com mercial grade material has been "blocked out and returns may be realized by the locator.

 This is the most talked about element in the Territory today. Although uranium is one of the newer" elements, several helpful pamphlets have been published which are useful to the prospector in his search for this very import ant source of energy Prospecting with Counter.

So early in that school year, it
was decided by the Board of Edu-
cation to use the about-to-be aban-
doned building on Park Street
(the new West Rockville School
then ready to accommodate
grades l through 81 as the begin
ming of the much needed junior
high school for the Rockville
area. A plan was evolved whereby
all the sixth grades as well as the
seventh grades would be located
at Park Street.
With an expected enrolment
of 537, plans were made for set
ting up the new Rockville Junior
High School on a temporary ba-
sis. With larger sized classes of
elementary grades moving up and
with the population movement in
Rockville likely to continue, the
present building cannot care for
the situation more than one year.
Edgar Guy Jawell, who has had
33 years of professional teaching,
is the principal of the new school.
Mr.. Jewell is a Commander in the
U. S. Naval Reserve.
Eugene P. Moran, well known
to Rockville, is the Vice Principal.

/. WHAT WE HAVE
A. Problem

/. In our town we have ap
proximately 5000 children OF
school age.
2. Our town has expanded SC
rapidly that many of the town
services are not adequate tc
handle the demands. We are al
aware of water, sewage, and
school construction shortages
The recreation facilities have also
Jagged behind.
3. Our town is in a section OF
Montgomery County that leads
the county in delinquent acts or
the part of juveniles.
4. our town, as in many 9th
er sections of U.S.A., church at
tendance for youth is very high
in age group 6-12; attendance
drops off sharply after the age
of IL.
5. Our town has many citizens
who still have very strong roots
elsewhere in the U.S.A. While
this is admirable on one hand
it sometimes prevents citizens
from entering into their new
community life completely.
6. Our town has many fami.
lies, who because of financial
reasons, find it necessary for
both parents to work outside the
home.
b. Resources
l. In our town we have many
interested, understanding, enthu-
siastic citizens and organizations.
2. In our town we have many
recreational facilities and groups.

4. Creation of plan for youth
participation in holidays such as
Easter and Christmas.
Mayor Dickeran Hovsepian
Immediately approved the idea
for a Christmas observance with
city youth taking part in carol
ing and the solicitation of gifts
for the needy and pledged his
personal assistance in interesting
civic and community groups in
project.
Under long range proposals,
the committee suggested that the
city "give serious consideration
to the purchase or construction
of large building to be used as
a town community center" Such
a center would give facilities for
sports, skating and dancing,
meetings, music a Id handi-
crafts.
1t was also suggested that
consideration be given to the
creation of a "hot rod drag
strip" as a means of allowing
youngsters to test "hot rod" cars
with greater safety to themselves
and others.
1t was also suggested that the
Council write an ordinance to
"rid the town" of filthy litera-
ture," that a summer job clear
ance committee be set up, and
that the town start a big
brother and sister" plan to aid
delinquent boys and girls.
In addition to Chairman
Moran, committee members are:
Mines. Margaret Gryesykiewicz,
Dorothy Haltiwanger, Eleanor
Kay and Miss Pat King, and
Messrs. Bruce Faatz, Alfred

stock problems. That's why the
Home Demonstration Agent and
are going to work together very
closely"
The new idea will get started
next week when the two agents
and their staff will hold the first
of a series of weekly meetings.
The basic principle of all Mr.
Fosters operations, however, will
continue to be an attempt to
bring as many of the county
farm people as possible into the
program and then to make it
what they want it to be. In the
course of an interview with the
SENTINEL, Mr.. Foster stressed
this point again and again.
If there ever was a case of the
job seeking the man rather than
the man looking for the job, the
association between Mr.. Foster
and Montgomery County is a
case in point.
When o. w. Anderson - now a
Gaithersburg farmer - indicated
his desire to retire from the
Agents job, the University of
Maryland extension authorities
combed the country for a man
well versed in a livestock eco
nomy such as that of Montgom.
cry County.
The quest took them to Lee
County, Iowa. There they found
Mr.. Foster holding down the
Agents job with high honors.
He had won recently the U. S.
Department of Agriculture's
Superior Service Award - an
award bestowed on only SO men
since its establishment in 1888.
And particularly to the
point with respect to the Coun-
tvs strong dairy interest - Mr..
Foster won the award for his
work with Lee County farmers
in pasture Improvement. A 40
percent improvement was made
in Lee pastures - important to
the farmers there since they, too,
have a substantial dairy indus
try. Records show that many
Lee County farmes trippled their
incomes as a result of pasture
improvement.
Mr.. Foster attributes all of
this to the work of Lee farmers
themselves - he simply helped
people to help themselves" In
any event, his pasture improve
ment meetings were attended by
as many as 500 farmers, and 80
leaders worked steadily on the
program in addition to business
men and farm agencies.
While Mr.. Foster has thorough
ly familiarized himself with the
facts and figures of Montgomery
County farming - he spent the
summer studying them - he
wants to spend part of his time
at the start here with State uni
versity specialists. But, signi-
ficantly enough, he has already
scheduled a meeting with Dairy
Herd Improvement people in the
