Undefeated Richard Montgom-
cry made it three wins in a row
October g., as they swamped a
helpless Frederick team, 26-6.
Aided by beautiful blocking in
the first quarter, Mike Ennis
heaved a 35-yard pass to half
back Ron Bridgewater for the
Rockets first touchdown. Bridge
water went through a big hole
which was opened by guard
Ralph Woodland for the extra
point.
Frederick bounced right back,
however, putting on a 63-yard
drive and scored when quarter
back Shank sent a pass to Rems-
burg. The extra point kick was
blocked.
Ennis sent the fans on their
feet as he ran a punt back 35
yards to the Cadets 31-yard line.
Marty Mayes and Butch Fremeau
combined their running talents to
give the Rockets a first down on
the 13.yard line. Ronnie Bridge
water, the Rockets halfback, ran
around left end for his second
touchdown but the ball was
called back because of an off
side penalty. The half ended
when AL Richardson caught a 80.
yard pass from Marty Mayes on
the Cadets 24-yard line.
In the first two minutes of the
third quarter the Rockets scored
again on a 46-yard pass from
fullback Marty Mayes to end
John Chambers. This made the
score 1876 for the Rockets.
The most spectacular play,
however, was on the following
kickoff by Richard Montgomery.
Ronnie Bridgewater's high kick
landed on the Cadets 25-yard
line where it took a bounce right
into the hands of the Rockets

On his first play Billy Allan
ran so yards to the Cadets o.

not move the ball any further.
Frederick took over and drove

ITOIIl the llOcK because OIL uecllIl-
ing egg production are likely to
do better in the broiler-they
don't have the muscle that is de-
veloped by hens that have to fight
off scores of their fellows at the
feed trough.
There is one factor that might
make the cage system inapplic-
able to some areas of the country
sustained hot or cold weather.
In the average hen house, for ex-
ample, chickens can huddle to-
gether for warmth on a cold
night. In cages, each hen dwells
in solitary if potentially chilly
splendor.
Two things make this COM
plant against the cages inopera-
tive in Montgomery County, Mr..
Hawkes. says.
First, we do not have long spells
of intense heat. And, second, at
slight additional expense in
building construction - poultry
houses here can be kept at tenn
peratures wella bove the freezing
point.
With more eggs at lower prices
in sight via the cage route, there
is just one other question: where
will this increased production be
sold?
In Baltimore and Washington,
says Mr.. Hawkes. who has checked
up and found that-for Example
the Washington market has to
get 60 percent of its eggs from
East Central states because of in
adequate local production. The
East Central State eggs are good,
he allows, but retail stores will
prefer absolutely fresh eggs from
home if they can get them in the
desired quantities.
Mr.. Hawkes., who has studied
chickens and cages with sharp
eye and an inquiring mind for
the past year, got the idea from
his brother in Bowling Green, Ky.
Some first hand checking with
Alabama Poly and University of
California men increased his en-
thusiasm and discussions with
University of Maryland poultry
experts-to whom the idea was
somewhat new-have encouraged
him still more.
He is so encouraged that he is
setting up plant in Rockville to
manufacture the cages. This, he
says, will save local purchasers
freight charges not to mention
wire cages that arrive in battered
shape through the mails.
Nor is this all. Mr.. Hawkes. has
10 acres between Gaithersburg
and Germantown on which he
intends to establish 5000 occupied
cages this spring, 10000 by fall
And just to do an all-oround
job, Mr.. Hawkes. hopes that the
one-year.old Egg and Paultry
Producers association will do the
same thing for egg men that the
milk producers association has
done for the dairy farmers.
In some connections, cages
have not stood for the better life
But for chickens and poultrymen
for retired persons looking foi
gainful occupations without toe
much strain-Mr. Hawkes. looks
on cages as the means of achiev
ing financial freedom. If his fig
ures are right, these will bC
guided cages, and the birds il
! EN- will be happy.

Though it rained and rained
and rained,
1t must have been Gods will,
For all the throngs assembled,
To celebrate the birth of
Poolesville.
Visiting churches and old
homes
Were folks from far and near
Admitting them in all their
finery,
After surviving famine, fire
and fear.
With bugles blaring and bands
a'marching,
From east end around to the
school,
A parade of floats, fancy and
unique
Even a lonely mule.
The day is long and well done,
May Poolesville have many
more!
She's passed through a rugged
period,
Since eighteen hundred and
four.
A fitting tribute from Governor
McKendin,
And certainly we'll deserved,
Climaxed a day of pride and
glory,
For the folks of Poolesville, so
reserved"

Claim Cage System Leads to
Happy Hens, Happy Producers

When it comes to chickens, a
bird in a cage-gilded or other
wise-is a lot better than one on
the floor of the hen house.
If you don't believe this, and if
you don't believe that the Balti-
more-Washington market will
consume the eggs of three million
more hens than now exist in the
producing area, talk the matter
oyer with Thomas H. Hawkes. of
Rockville, executive secretary of
the Maryland Egg and Poultry
Producers association.
Present or potential chicken
and egg men of the County will
get chance to do just that if
the attend the first public meet.
ing of the association at 8 pm. in
the auditorium of the County of.
flee Building on Oct. %.
Mr.. Hawkes. is an exponent of
the production of more and better
eggs at lower costs by the use of
the cage system.
The cage system is relatively
nav to Maryland-and almost
entirely new to Montgomery
County-but it has thousands of
satisfied practitioners who have
upped their egg talks per laying
hen from So to Sc a year in Cali
fornia and the Southeastern
States.
At the October % meeting, MIR.
Hawkes. is apt to be the most Wig.
orous prepayment of the henS-in-
cages deal. But he will have solid
scientific backing at the meeting
in the presence of DR.. Wilbur o.
Wilson of the University of Cali.
fornia and Harold o. Hoecker,
Marketing specialist of the Uni.
versity of Maryland extension
service.
Further explanatory assistance
is expected at the meeting from a
representative from Alabama
Poly and the firm of w. S. Han.
nah and Sons of Grand Rapids,
Mich, producers of pedigreed
laying strains.
The layman's version of the
cage system is this: each wire
cage has ample room for one lay
ing hen. The cages are linked
in rows about waist high and the
rows can be as long as the poul
try house makes possible.
In front of the row of sages
runs a feed trough. A water
trough runs along the back
Once an egg is laid, it rolls gent
ly along slanting wire floor and
into a tray. There it comes gent
ly to rest in front of the PROUD
producer thus enabling the farm
err to know what hen lays how
many eggs. An individual "score
board" for each hen is wired tC
the front of the cage permitting
weekly totals and the elimination
of less productive hens via thu
broiler at the end of a suitable
number of weeks.
Because the laying hen in |
cage does not have TO run ant
fight for its food as in the cas-,
of the average hen house, it il
claimed, the farmer using cage
is almost certain to get 244 egg

Mr.. Palmatier said.
This year the Montgomery

received generous gifts from pol

department has extended COM

Another indication of victory is
