Governor Of Maryland
AL over the United States
there is continuing rise in
population. but IL of the 40
States are growing at a rate
more rapid than that of the
Nation as z whole.
Maryland is among the Is.
The United States Bureau of
the Census projects the growth
Of Maryland in the next 10 years
at a gain rate Of 10 per cent. In
the same decade, the entire
United States will grow 14.9 per
cent.
Ranking hiPh among the areas
responsible for Maryland's
growth is the area adjacent to
and spreading out from the Ma i
tons Capital-Montgomery and
Princes Georges Counties.
Maryland is proud OF its
growth. We recognize the prob
lens it creates. We know there
Is no magic word or wondrous
wand for their solution. But we
know they can be solved by fore
sight and plannin--by courage
and by cooperation between the
agencies of government private
business.
Obviously, when the population
grows-when new families are
formed and when older families
move in from other States to
enjoy the advantages which
Maryland offers and the welcome
which Maryland gives-housing
becomes one Of the primary
problems.
The private builders of Mary

job in their efforts to meet the
housing need. The suppliers of
materials ale cooperating in
an excellent manner. New de-
velopments ere springing up,
offering homes of various types
to suit a variety of tastes. a
variety of income and a variety
Of family sizes.
There is beauty as well as
utility in the new homes. The
importance of surrounding space
elbow room and a view of the
sky--is recognized in most in
stances.
This is all to the good.
There is governmental CO.
operation in this toby mu-'
inequalities, py counties and by
the State. Streets must be
opened. Highways must be
built. Sewerage facilities must
be provided. The utility COM
panies cooperate, too-extend-
ing lines for gas, electricity and
water.
Government - primarily the
counties, aided by the State--co-
operates, also, in one Of the real
essentials to development and
population growth-the provid-
ing of schools for the children.
Employment. of course, is a
necessity for the support of any
population-old or new.
While the Federal Govern
ment is a big employer of a
substantial number Of the wage
earners of Prince Georges and

of productivity is essential to

ture of 104, the other has a nor
NAL temperature Which is the sick
er child? The one with a normal
temperature of course, because the
germs in his body are not being
met with any home defenses.
So if your child has a fever,
don't make it harder for him to get
well by bringing his temperature
down. What you're doing is send
ing home the army as the enemy
reaches the home shores.
Put a sick child to bed, keep
him quiet, give him plenty of water
to drink.
Nowadays we have many miracle
drugs. The doctor may give your
child a medicine that will help the
youngster kill off the invading
germs. When the germs are gone,
the temperature, pulse and respi-
ration will all return to normal
because there is no longer a war
to fight.
Once in while a temperature
may go needlessly high. A tenn
perature of 104 or more is not nee
essary for good defense against in
lection. Such a temperature can
be brought down to 102 or so with
aspirin, but do not try to get it
down to normal.
A few children have a tendency
to Commissions with sudden high
fevsrs. For such children tempera-
lures need to be most carefully
watched and not allowed to rise
above 102 or so.

pens when a child gets an infec-
tion.
Harmful germs enter his body
and begin to grow. Before long
some poisonous material from the
germs is seeping into the child's
body. This is a signal to the
child's body that an enemy is in
vading and he had better fight
back If the child was strong and
healthy before the infection, he
fights back.
The signs that he is fighting
back are what we call the signs of
illness. The child is tired, he is
not only willing to go to bed, he
wants to. Every bit of his energy
is to be used to fight his enemy;
he's not going to waste any run
ming around.
He is thirsty. He wants extra
water to help flush out the germs.
His temperature, pulse, and res
piration all go up.
If you examined his blood you'd
find an increased number of white
blood cells.
All this means more blood is be-
ing pumped around his body. This
blood has extra oxygen in it
from the fast breathing he's doing.
1t has extra white blood cells
the ones that kill germs.
If the child didn't put up good
fight against his infection, we'd
be much more worried about him.
Suppose two children have the
same infection. One has a tempera-
