| has been abused, the conservation
and development of its resources
left to chance, its potentials ig-
nored.
A master plan for the conserva-
ton and development of the entire
Potomac River Basin is the only
logical solution to this atrocious
situation. Seemingly antagonistie
goals of different groups must be
resolved in the full light of sound
planning and realistic conservation
policies. Past spoilage must be
cured by programs sufficiently
broad to be effective, At all times,
the welfare of wildlife must be
safeguarded
To this end, in the now adjourned
saith Congress, l introduced legis-
lation which would authorize the
Interstate Commission for the Po-
tomac River Basin to proceed with
the necessary preliminary studies
for the purpose of making suitable
recommendations Though final ac-
, ton was not forthcoming, the mere
introduction of this measure has
focused public and official atten-
ton on the dangers of pollution
and the importance of sound, long
range conservation policies. 1t has
prompted the Corps of Engineers
to undertake a parallel study.
Similarly, in recent months, one
of my special interests has sur
rounded efforts to have a fishway
constructed as a part of the pro-
posed Little Falls Dam on the Po-
tomac. With the whOlehearted CO.
operation of Maryland conserva-
ton, sports, fishing and other pub
lie spirited organizations, this
much-needed fish ladder will be-
come a timely reality. Experts pre-

Farm Planning Group
Discusses Resources

Farm Planning Group No 8 met
recently at the home of Mr.. ano
Mrs. James Glotfelty with twelve
members present
Robert Bucket led the topic
stewards of the Soil" concerning
natural resources and their wise use
so as to fill the needs of future
generations.
Numerous ways in which this
could be accomplished, including
individual cooperation, activity
practice of irrigation, conservation
of soil, prevention of forest fires
etc, were discussed The group
did not agree there should be laws
to make farmers use standard prac-
tees of soil and water control. They
felt that not tilling acreage with
certain degrees of grade and slope
was neglect and costly to farmers
No one in the group felt in a posi-
ton to help bear the cost of dredg-
ing harbor basins because no con
troll practices were used. They
thought water was the biggest Of
fender of resources in the com
munity
Some land they considered would
be better when replanted to trees.
They felt more should take adj
vantage of contour farming and
that with education and practice
of programs available to them that
they might have model farms in
the future.
The September meeting is SEIZED
uled at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Opel with Mr. Opel leading
the topic, Your Vote Is Your
Voice-Use It," a discussion on
citizenship.
