The slogan for the campaign

Behind the undertaking is the
old idea that one rotten apple can

Likewise, according to the pro-
motors of Operation home i'm

dence can eventually spoil a
street, neighborhood, or an en-

AS soon as the project is

some idea of its national import.

The Federal Housing Admins
tration, which is the No. / hacker
of the undertaking, estimates that
100000 homes deteriorate into
the slum category each year.
There are also figures showing
that approximately 100000 of
the homes in the United States
have not been painted during the
last 10 years. f
Homes, in this respect, are a
lot like many women; they not
only look and feel better after a
little sprucing up, but they also
help freshen the spirits of those
around them.
Consequently, the FILA will
encourage homeowners to eight

Gaithersburg's Compromised

"as soon as the ground thaws."
Contractors say the ground is
frozen to a depth of two feet or

area doctors, Jack Schumacher,
Gordon Rosenberger, and William
A. Linthicum.
The doctors had originally plan

Contractor is Warthen and

The founding doctors will have
their offices and a joint waiting
room on the ground floor. Off

Death Rate
For State
Rises i'm '55

The decline in the mortality
curve which has been going on
in recent years was halted in
Maryland during 1855 with a
slight screeching of the brakes.
Actually, the death rate increased
slightly during the year from 81
per 1000 population to 9.3, ac-
cording to preliminary report
issued by DR.. A. w. Hedrich,
chief of the division of vital rec
ords and statistics, Maryland
State Department of Health.
The increase in the death rate
occurred mainly in the population
over age 65. The increase was
somewhat greater in Baltimore
City than in the counties, and
was slightly greater for colored
than for whites.
For the population over age 65,
the death rate rose by about So
percent. For this age group, the
largest percentage increase in
the death rate occurred for tuber-
culosis (54 percent, influenza
and pneumonia (33 percent, dia-
betes (19 percenD, and heart di-

For ages under 65, both the
syphilis and tuberculosis mortali-
ties declined more than 20 per-
cent; and the total mortality rate
for the population under age IS
declined about one percent.
For the elderly, the bright side
of the picture was a decline in
