County Health Struggle
Laid to Growth and Cost

The Montgomery county
Council last night was told a
rising population and an up
swing in the cost of health serv-
ices have resulted in a "strug-
Cling health department" which
is not meeting the needs of the
county.
/ The public hearing covered
1886 budget proposals for
health, welfare, fire and police.
The brief session was attended
by only so persons.
| Most of the speakers last night
were concerned with County
Manager M. L. Reese's proposed
$4,000 slash in the budget re-
quested by DR.. William j,
Peoples, county health officer.
DR.. Peoples asked for $463 ,976 to
run his department.
Nurses Badly Needed
! Mrs. Joseph Mills Stoll, repre-
senting the year-old Montgom-
cry Health Council, said the six
additional public health nurses
deleted by Mr.. Reese are badly
needed.
The Health Departments part
time psychiatric service for
school children, she said, is a
good plan but needs implement
tation." She said the part-time
psychiatrist hired last year
should be put on a full time
basis at an annual salary of
$3.50.
Mrs. Stoll cited four reasons
why Montgomery's Health De-
partment is now struggling" to
meet public health needs. The
reasons we're:
Cd Population increase in the
county. (2) The rising cost Of
health services-doctors' fees,
nurses salaries and the price
of medicine. CD The increased
duties of public health officials
in an area becoming more ur-
banized. a. The need for
health service of families in the
county with an income of less
than $4,000 a year. Mrs. Stoll
said the 1850 census showed that
20 per cent of the families are
in this bracket.
Would Mean Cuts
Lawrence M. Fisher, chair
man of the County Councils Ad-
visory Health Committee, urged
that DR.. Peoples budget pro-
posal be untouched. The re-
moval of six nurses from the
proposed health program. he
said, would mean a further drop
ping of our Standards of serv-
ice"
Mr.. Fisher said his group "had
hoped" that the county manager
would consult with DR.. Peoples
on health department budget
cuts. He said such a consulta.
ton might have made it possible
for some necessary items to be
retained and for budget cuts to
be effected in less critical areas.
After the hearing. Councilman
Wilbur N. Baughman said he be-
lieved the six additional nurses
should be restored to the health
program.
Other speakers who urged re-
tention of DR.. Peoples original
proposals included DR.. Robert E.
Pittenger, representing the
County Council of PTAs, and DR..
Byron j. Olson. vice president of
the Montgomery Health Fund.
DR.. Pittenger stressed the need
for more nurses and said even
the seven recommended cannot
keep pace with the needs of the

BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN

Proposed expenditure of $50
900 for plans for public SWIM
ming pool in the Wheaton area
would touch off a Montgomery
County pool program that would
cost at least 100000.
That is the tab the County
Recreation Board put on a FIVE
pool program two years ago.
The County Council will wind
up hearings tomorrow night on
County Manager M. L. Reese's
$28.1 million budget for opera
tions and new construction.
Slated for hearings at 8 pm.
in the county building auditor
lium are budgets for public works.
recreation, libraries. finance,
county managers Office, county
attorneys Office inspections and
licenses and courts.
The recreation program is
probably as far-reaching in ef-
feet as any to be discussed.
Sentiment Grows
Sentiment for public pools de-
lveloped during the last year and
was climaxed with requests for
funds from both the Allied Civic
Group and the County Civic
Federation.
A year ago the Recreation
Board issued a statement noting
there apparently was no senti-
ment for such a program because
/ it had received no demand for
them.
Shortly after the statement
a group was organized to foster
and to publicize interest in the
program. Citizens associations
and PTAs began to go on record
behind the public pool proposals.
Mr.. Reese, in his f1ve-year-
capital program, lists $193. 100
for the Wheaton pool. $158.000
for North Bethesda pool, $163,-
900 fer a Rockville Gaithersburg
pool and $4,000 for planning an
IOlney area pool.
The county now has 10 country
club pools. plus at least two
commercial pools.
NeighbOrhOods Act
In the last year several COM
munities have developed neigh
borhood pool plans, whereby
families pay memberships of
about $3.50 to finance the pool
construction, and $40 to $25 a
year to operate the pools.
Several are in existence or in
the making, including Bannock-
burn, Cedarbrook, Twinbrook.
Edgemoor, Garrett Park and Old
Georgetown.
Since the adoption of an in
tegrated policy in the District,
Government Services, Inc, has
been losing $4,000 a year on
six pools it operates. Before in
Itegration, the loss was about
$4,000 a year.
The pools cost GSI about $780,
900 a year to operate. Users from
noon on pay fees of SO cents
for adults and 20 cents for chill
Idren.
An average family of five will
pay $3.50 a week to swim in the
pools, a GSI spokesman said.
On top of this the family must
figure its transportation costs.
The community pool groups
feel they actually save money
through their cooperative ef-
forts. travel less and swim more
often than do users of public
pools.
Reese Sees Loss

most instances, public pool pro-
grams are operated at a loss.

Fewer Voters For
'55,City Elections

Each of the Fathead's three cit
les, Kalispell, Whitefish and Col
umbia Falls have fewer registered
voters for the coming city cleo
ton than they had for the general
election last November.
Reason is largely that those
qualified two years ago had for
the most part voted IN the last
presidential election when the Eli
senhower Stevenson o n t e S
brought out large turnout in
1852. The 1854 election was con-
siderably more tame.
Columbia Falls percentagewise
shows best in the Flathead. Mrs.
Mona Sorensen, deputy county
clerk said that there were ATS reg
istered voters, down just 8 from
two years ago.
Kalispell total is 1886 down
686 from the last city election, and
Whitefish has 1853 showing a de-
crease of 225. A.s
Columbia Falls voters are divid-
ed as follows: Ward / with 1863
