Gil June Is. The council did not hold

AIS registered Columbia Falls vot-
ers sign, the new ordinance would

Fish Planting
Speeded by Plane

HELENA = Ralph Cooper, East
Helena, Fish and Game department
pilot, flew from Helena to Kalispell
one morning on a fish planting mis-
sion to three widely-separated areas,
reported Walter M. Allen, superin-
tendent of fisheries.
Working under the direction of
John Cox, Somers hatchery foreman,
Cooper loaded the plane with $4,000
grayling fingerlings for plant in
Teepee lake, miles from the Can,
adam border up the Flathead's North
hFOrk.
He flew back to Kalispell, reloaded
the tanks with $4,000 CRAWLING fling
erlings and planted them in Harper S
lake in the Clearwater range near
Seeley lake, Allen said.
Back in Kalispell, Cooper refille6
the tanks with 10000 more Crawling
fingerlings for Gravelly Range lake
near Helena. The three plants were
completed by 10 am. Allen said.
These planting jobs took about
hours and Cooper Travelled about 45(
air miles, as compared to two
day trip of approximately $50 miles
by truck" Allen commented.
Aerial fish planting is easy on the
fish, since they are only in transi
for a short time, and enables thu
department to plant more areas dur
ing favorable weather, Allen con
cluded.

Wuter Violations
Causing Problems

Violations of Columbia Falls
sprinkling regulations is causing
problems for the water system re-,
ports Howard Greene, water com
missioner.
He reminds local patrons that
Sprinkling should cease at 10 pm
no open hoses should be on. and
canvas soakers should not be used
Other regulations include shutting
off hoses when the fire siren sounds
Greene added that he didn't par
ticularly mind if people let their
sprinklers run on half hour beyond
10. He didn't think it was fair to the
whole community to go to bed and
leave hoses on all night.
Problem is that the continual drain
on the water system results in the
night pressure holding down to 80
pounds, when it should be making
recovery for the day ahead. Other
factors include the increased diff
Guilty of checking for leaks.
There is penalty of S. minimum
and shutting off water service with
out notice for persons violating
sprinkling regulations. q
The new wells are pumping 1900
gallons minute during the after
noon, Greene said, in addition to the
gravity flow from the Cedar creek
springs.
There are no restrictions as to
hours or days for watering besides
the 10 pm. to 6 am. closed period
Greene asked that citizens cooper.
ate with the problems.

Cities Cain
In Sewage
Line Hope

New sewage facilities for Cal
thersburg and Rockville are on
the way, says the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission.
But there are a couple of big
qualifications.
Construction of a sewer line
connecting Gaithersburg with the
Rock Greek trunk line, at a cost
. of $1,159,700, is included in the
9WSSCs new $14.9 million, five
year plan.
In the words of the resolution
of adoption, the project will Eek
tend the Rock Creek trunk sewer
to the confluence of the Rock and
Mill Greeks, construct an outfall
sewer up Mill Creek to its head
quarters at Washington Grove,
construct sewage pumping sta
ton near the present Gathers
burg treatment plant ION Muddy
Branch) and a force main from
that point to the terminus of the
Mill Creek outfall sewer at
Washington Grove"
The State Health Department
has prohibited an increase in the
sewage load at the Muddy
Branch treatment plant. Mayor
Merton Duvall says the town is
10 to II years behind in con-
struction because of the lack of
additional sewage facilities"
The WSSC has also proposed
"a Cabin John Creek trunk sewer
to take care of the Cabin John
Valley with a seven-mile trunk
line connecting with Rockville.
:, "If Rockville agrees to the
plan" says the WSSC, lit would
pay the cost of an 18-inch line,
estimated at $677,100 and the
commission would pay the addi.
tional amount necessary to con-
struct a sewer large enough to
provide for the whole valley, esti-
mated at SZ99,2O0."
Though the WSSC five.year
plan has cleared one legal
hurdle, approval by the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission Gathers
burg and Rockville dreams of
sewers a-plenty could get rude
jolt.
The resolution of adoption
states, THE carrying out of this
program is dependent, of course,
upon the commissions ability to
finance it and upon the need for
the extensions in the various
parts of the area. 1t is realized
that conditions may arise that
will warrant changes in the pro-
gram from time to time"

Area Attacks
Water Waste,
Filth

The board of supervisors of
the upper-County soil conserva-
ton program will meet with
down-County> officials soon to
plan program for improving
the Rock Creek watershed as
part of the Potomac River clean
up campaign, board chairman
James D. King said this week.
Mr.. King said this joint meet
ing will set up an organization
and procedures for flood control
and other watershed improve
ments. One of the measures
taken will probably be the con-
struction of ponds on county
farms to hold excess water, he
added.
Other members of the board
are George Lechilder vice
chairman; Thomas M. Garrett,
]. Raymond Kemp and Lathrop
E. Smith.
Fred HaZen, William NJ. Kent
and Warren Souder are assisting
them, and County Agents Delbert
T. Foster, Roscoe N. Whipp' and
Bob Spry are also working with
the program.
The overall problem of clean
ing up the Potomac River is al
most certain to come up before
the next session of Congress.
The office of Rep. Dewitt S.
Hyde of Maryland said he has
been working on the problem for
more than a year, and feels that
the work should be undertaken
on a regional basis.
This week, Rep. Joel Broyhill
of Virginia said he wants to
meet with Sen. Wayne Morse of
Oregon to work out a bill that
would lead to cleaning up the
Potomac.
Mr.. Hyde's office said that if
this bill contains the provisions
that Mr.. Hyde feels are neces-
sary, the Maryland Congressman
will support it. If not, he will
introduce his own legislation

One of Fen Left, Olney Smith
Works on Tractors, Not Horses

If you don't believe the auto
mobile has replaced the horse,
ask Samuel ]. Finneyfrock, Oh
ney. When he became an appren-
tice blacksmith for his future
father-in-law, Rubin p Hines, at
ST a week nearly a half-century
ago, the blacksmith's main task
was horse shoeing Now it's trac-
tor repair and auto service.
Il haven't shod a horse in Is
years. There just amt no more
horses" In the days when he
DID shoe horses, Mr.. Finneyfrock
often used a ton of shoes month.
He still gets calls from as far
away as Hagerstown and Rich
mond to shod horses, but at 70,
he leaves that to younger men.
Not that it's not lucrative bust
ness. 1--WE used to get so cents
to shoe a horse. Now they get
So"
Blacksmithing is a trade not Of
ten passed from father to son.
But Mr.. Finneyfrock's boy, Dud-
ley, works with him. Says the
young man, Il like the work. l
like to use my hands. And every
job is different"
The two Finneyfrocks are
among the few remaining black
smiths in the county. The elder
Finneyfrock trained a Negro man,
Jerry Bell, who offers the only
area competition from Sandy
Spring.
S. J. Finneyfrock tolls daily II
to ii hours before his Sc year
old forge. But more and more
his job has been lawn-mower
sharpening, tractor, pillow, and
farm-vehicle repair, and ornamen-
tai iron work. Il don't mind the
change he says. After all you
can't stand in the way of pro-
gress."
His shop, built in 1899, may
soon fall to progress, when Geor-
gia Avenue is widened. If the
old, beamed, dirt-floor building is
in the way of the new road, Mr..
Finneyfrock plans to build new
shop behind.
Oddly enough,'Mr Fjnneyfrock
has gained fame, not with his
metal work, but as a model! A
snapshot of the blacksmith at his
forge won a contest in 1851. Art
