70 De swimming In the new pool by
early summer, it was indicated at
the session by Harold Strout, of the
engineering organization.
Prior to selection of the Buckeye
site, however, there had been a
somewhat stormy half hour of discus
sion as to whether residents of the
town opposed to that location first
should have a chance to air their
views before council.
Stormy Session
1t was the contention of Council
man Arden Baker that the campaign
for the swimming pool as conducted
by the Community Progress associa-
ton definitely had indicated those
opposed to the Buckeye site would
have an opportunity to present their
side of the case before any legis-
lative action was taken.
He was opposed in this view BY
Paul Diller, chairman of the pool
committee, who declared he felt the
affirmative vote on the pool bond issue
represented a voters mandate for the
Buckeye, since all committee planning
was predicted on that location.
Diller also expressed belief that it
was councils duty to go along with
his committees recommendations
rather than listening to other view
points, and that very few persons
actually were opposed to the Buck
eye.
Morris Bell, another member of the
recreation commission who agreed
with OILERS position, declared he did
not believe now was the time to open
a discussion of sites since there had
been no objection prior to the cleo
ton.
Gerald Swank, council member on
the pool committee, also was for i'm
mediate action, and the only dissent
ing committee voice was that of DIR.
B. w. Travis, who, although he favors
the Buckeye location, agreed with
Councilman Baker that he felt a
hearing had been promised to the
opposition.
Baker Declines Vote
In voting for the Buckeye site, the
legislation passed on a 5 to 0 affirm
ative ballot cast by Councilmen Clay
Henderson, Dell McGinnis, Francis
Reichenbach, Dave Risser and Gerald
Swank. Baker declined to vote because
the opposition had not been heard.
In the contract negotiated with
Finkbeiner, Pettis and Strout, pay
ment for engineering services will
amount to 10 percent of the con-
struction cost, which is the standard
scale. Specifications will be prepared
so that bids can be taken for both
concrete and steel pools.
Although the meeting was attend
ed by four incoming members of next
January's new council, Ed Rice, Will
bur Amstutz, Charles Hankish, Jr.,
and Ed Badertscher, they took no
part in reaching the decision on the
pool location.
City Solicitor John Romey also was
at the meeting with legislation pre-
pared to initiate the start of the pool
program.

UPLAND PLOVER
(Bartramia longicauda)

RANGE: Breeds from northwest
ern Alaska, north to Yukon, and
Quebec, and Ontario south to Vir-
ginia. Winters in South America
from Brazil, to Argentina and
Chile. Formerly nested in numbers
in Maryland's meadows, but are
scarce today not only in Maryland
but throughout its range.
DESCRIPTION: Length about 12
inches; a long-legged, slender,
graceful shore bird; gray streaked
with brown, short bill as compared
with those of most other shore
birds. Incidentally it is not a plov-
er but belongs to the sandpiper
family and is sometimes called
Bartramian sandpiper. When
alighting on fence posts and else
where this bird invariably raises
its wings over it's back several
times before settling down, as does
also the yellow-leg and willet,
another shore bird; however the
willet is much larger. Has white
bars on primaries.
BREEDING: Lays A creamy buff
or white pear-shaped eggs with
gray splotches in nest on ground
concealed in grass. Incubation by
both sexes takes about II days.
HABITS: Food mostly insects,
some grain and seeds; a shy bird
and difficult to approach on foot;
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1955-03-03

formerly shot at times from open
horse vehicle which could be
driven-within a few yards of birds
resting or feeding in fields.
MANAGEMENT: AS stated on
several of our Wildlife Charts on
shore birds little if any manage
ment in the United States can be
supplied where birds migrate such
long distances, nesting mostly in
Canada and wintering in South
America. Many adverse conditions,
including encroachment of civiliza-
ton and hunting have resulted in
steady decrease in many species
in recent years. 1t has been under
Federal law unlawful to kill most
shore birds for food or sport for
long time; since this closure
there seems to have been small
but steady increase in upland plov-
er; however, the slowness of its
recovery. leads to the belief the
hunter was not entirely responsible
for it's decrease when hunted for
sport and food.
VALUE: Useful to a certain small
extent as an insect destroyer at
times in some places; however it's
present limited number has de-
creased its value to mankind; and
of course it now has no economic
value as food and for sport. The
remnant of the species should be
given every protection.
