Mr.. Roscoe Whip, Assistant
County Agent and Extension Ser
vice Representative, spoke to the
Glenmont Hills Citizens Associa-
ton at its meeting last week at
Glenmont School.
Mr.. Whip spoke on gardening
in this area, and on the upkeep
of lawns. Mr.. Whip explained
that in order to start and main
tain good lawns in many devel-
opmentS, the soil must be ploWed,
and top soil and fertilizer work
ed in before seeding. In many in
stances, apparently poor lawns
land gardens) are due to the fact
that developers back-fill with
clay instead of saving top soil,
and sod is placed on top of the
clay giving it no real chance to
develop proper root systems.
Kind of discouraging, isn't it?

A new Scoutmaster and a new
Sponsor are coming to Boy Scout
Troop 433 of Glenmont on April
LIST. New sponsor of the Troop
will be st. Andrews Lutheran
Church, of which the Reverend
Paul Foelber is head. Former
sponsor of the group was the
Glenmont and Vicinity Citizens
Association.
New Scoutmaster for the boys
will be Mr.. Perry Crotts, an
Eagle Scout. Mr.. Crotts, who
with his wife and young son AL
Ian Eric, lives at Grandview Ave-
nue. and WeiSman Road, earned
his Eagle Badge while living in
Charlotte, N c. He is native of
Deale, Md, and is associated with
Crotts Brothers, builders, in
houthern Maryland. His hobbies
include leather work, HO gauge
railroading, model airplanes, fish
ing, hunting, boating, and gun
collecting.
Troop 433 has for some months
been looking for a new Scout
master to replace acting Scout
master L. w. Myers. Mr.. Myers
will continue to be active with
the Troop, but the press of other
business made it impossible to
take on full responsibility of the
Troop. The persuasion of several
boys in the neighborhood promp-
ted Mr.. Crotts to volunteer for
the job.
Mr.. Crotts will be ably assisted
by his Committeeman (now II
members and increasing in num-
ber). Also new program of
adult leadership, with more par
ent-participation, will be intro
duced when re-registration of the
Troop and transfer of Sponsors
takes place early in April.
Good luck to Troop 433 under
its new leadership and sponsor
ship, and 1 know the thanks of
the boys go to Mr.. Myers and
4 the Glenmont Association for
their help in the past.

Why Grow Old?
Add.Life
7 o Your
Years
By Josephine Lowmon

Many people who are not
really i'll take their lowered state
of health for granted ana are.
very stole about standing the
resulting petty discomforts
which hound them; chronic ia
tigue, headaches, constipation,
and many other uncomfortable
but uncritical conditions. They
just accept this as life!
1t might be helpful to refresh
our minds concerning some of
the main causes of death and
also the physical and mental
care essential to vitality and
beauty. While the expectable life
span has been greatly increased,
the finest objective of progress
sive medicine today is to vitalize
the years during which we live.
1t is not only question of add
ing years to life but Of adding
life to the years during which
we exist.
AS you probably already know
circulatory disease is the number
one killer with heart attacks
carrying off more and more per-
sons. Then come cancer and kid
ney disease fighting Cor their
places. tuberculosis, although
conquered to some extent, still
claims many victims each year.
All this is true. to say nothing
of the diseases which do not kill
but which make life a misery;
arthritis, for instance.
Here are a few suggestions
which we should pin up on our
bedroom door and read over at
the beginning of every day:
Eight Rules +.
l. Get enough sleep and rest.
High pressure living prepares
the ground for disease. and leads
to premature aging.
2. Get outdoors as much as
you can. Stay in touch with ma
ture and she will be healing.
8. Take some kind of exercise,
but the sort which is suited to
your age and physical condition.
4. Have periodic physical
checkups. at least once a year,
twice is better.
S. Do not overlook unusual
symptoms. See your doctor i'm
mediately.
6. A calm spirit. a happy at
titude and a sense Of |humor,
are medicinal.
Z. Stay busy and keep eager
interests afloat. Nothing Is so
vitalizing as enthusiasm.
8. Last but not least by any
means, eat for health. The diff
ference between fine nutrition
and fair nutrition can make the
difference between fine health
and fair health. Remember, too,
that most people from middle
age on, eat too much.
II you would like to have my
leaf1et pep" which may aid you
in building new energy, send a
stamped, self addressed envelope
with your request for leaf1et No.

cause ne took the job as an

The swimming pool was
actually promised for the 18th
and as Of today it's going to
be ready and surrounded
with a DuBois-type fence. The
original doors to the horse
stalls have been left up as en-
frances to the other rooms of
the 60-foot living room.
What was once the tack
room will be a big bar on the
swimming pool side. And
what was once the room for
storing hay will be a master
bedroom. There will be a
glassed-in porch in the back
and a modernized kitchen,
and the flagstone terrace
that's already been laid will
have a garden shaped like a
horses head in the middle.

they are hosts in the midst of
their 500 Virginia acres on
