Mrs. Dotterer, who now works
as a legal secretary in Manas-
SaS. takes her vacation at fair
time to help her husband. She
is member of the Veterans
Farm Club Auxiliary.
Well-watered vegetables of
the townfolk are expected to
win out over the dry produce
of their farm neighbors today
at the Prince William County
CVa.) Fair.
Drought Cuts Entries
The fair. largest one so far
this year in the Washington
area, is in its second day. It
is being held on a 64-acre tract
on Route 234 about two miles
south of Manassas.
Fair officials said the drought
has curtailed entries in the
farm produce department al
though other phases of the fair
have not been affected by the
dry weather. Produce is sched-
uled to be judged today.
1T looks like produce from
the town gardens are going to
outshine entries from the farm
this year." said Joseph John
son, a farmer and manager Of
the fair.
The townspeople watered
their gardens, but on the farm
ours just dried up" he said.

Fall Oyster Crop
Not Injured Yet

SOLOMONS. Md, Aug. 10 up.
Scientists at the Chesapeake
biological laboratories here re-
port that the summer-long
drought has not had too much
effect on the oyster crop IN
Chesapeake Bay.
But if the dry spell continues
into fall it could be a different
story. oysters just wouldn't be
as fat and would face greater
danger from oyster drills, or

be 5 per cent of normal this
year.
The committee, headed by G..
Wallace Carper, former chair
man of the Board of County
Supervisors, estimated the total
production of feed grains at is
per cent of normal.
The best production came
from wheat, estimated at so
per cent of a normal crop.
Barley and oats production is
estimated at Is per cent, and
crops for silage at Is per cent.
Any Rain Too Late Now
Pastures are less than is
per cent of normal, the COM
mittee said.
And even if rains come now,
1t will not help the feed short-
age, according to the commit
tee.
Larry Blair, assistant county
farm agent. said IS per cent Of
all cattle and sheep in tho
county are now being fed with
hay or grain which normally
would be used in the winter
The cattle population is esti-
mated at $4,000 and sheep ct
1000.
These statistics will be sLb-
mitted to the State Farm Dis
aster Committee.
II the county Is declared a
disaster area farmers would be
eligible for Government sur
plus grain at reduced cost and
for hay without transporta-
ton charges.
Also Could Get Loans
If farmers were unable to
make loans through banks or
other private lending agencies,
they also would be eligible for
low interest loans from the
Farm and Home Administra-
ton.
Twenty-three other Virginia
counties have applied officially
for Federal drought disaster aid
while indications were that at
least tire other counties would
take the same step.
The Virginia United States
Agriculture Department Dis
aster Committee will review all
the requests and conditions in
the counties at its meeting IN
Richmond Thursday. Committee
recommendations will guide
Gov, Stanley in reaching his
decision on whether to apply
for Federal help.

Miss Reicher noted. however,

that will be presented is the
recent strike among workers in
cement plants. Each day over
the contract deadline not COW
cred by an extension may cost
the contractor a $125 penalty.
More Lanes Due
Still to be constructed are
two l2-foot lanes, one in either
direction between Riggs road
and West Park drive, plus the
two westbound lanes with a
total width of "a feet between
Temple street and a point 80
feet east of the bridge. From

east Of New Hampshire ave-
nue-to Riggs road, all high
way lanes are in use and the
boulevard here needs only TO

and mulched.
Raymond E. Jones, a State
inspector assigned to the prof.
ect, said the highway will be
of rigid-type construction. The
9-inch LAYER of reinforced con-
crete will lie atop a 6-inch
gravel base and a 3-inch sand
topping. The concrete REIN
forcement consists of a layer of
9-gauge mesh midway through
the concrete layer.
A more flexible variety of

Il certainly wouldn't say at
present. though, that we're not
going to have a good oyster
harvest, DR.. Francis Bevan,
State biologist. said today.
This whole thing could break
up with a good rain or two and
the oysters would fatten up
more rapidly"
DR.. Bevan said that although
the salinity of the water in
Chesapeake Bay IS above
normal it still is not as high
as at times in the past. He
said the situation as more crit
ical in Delaware Bay and in
the Virginia portion Of Chesa-
peake Bay.
The main danger to the de-
veloping oyster in dry weather
is a cut-down in its food sup
ply-tiny microscopic plants in
the water which depend on nu-
trients washing from the land
for their survival. Without
rain the nutrients don't reach

When the ordinance comes

Gil will review it. The present
body retires this month. Three

Voting against the ordinance
on first reading were Council
men Charles Seymour and
Thomas A. O'Halloran.
Can't Afford Issue
Mr.. Seymour, who said he
had been "a school supporter"
remarked:
II don't think we can afford
a $750,000 bond issue any more
than I can afford a Cadillac
convertible"
He said he did not think it
would be wise to float the bond
issue and bring the city's net
debt margin down to $35, 900.
This sum would be the amount
of money the city would be al
lowed to borrow in the future,
because, he pointed out, the
city at present could assume no
more than $785,000 in bonded
debt.

to the bill.

.Pinbd|| Rigs
NOT Exempt,
Aide Holds

A remote control rig designed
to take Prince Georges County
pinball machines out of the
coin operated category fails to
exempt them from the $3.50
Federal gambling tax stamp
required if payoffs are made,
according to a Treasury agent.
Herman E. Greenland. chief
of the Intelligence Division Of

declared the rig is apparently
designed for payoffs and Its
almost a foregone conclusion
someone is trying to get around

stamp"
If we see a payoff we're
Selling the machine regard

Still Subject to Law
States Attorney Blair H.
Smith also said yesterday own
ers of the converted pinball
machines still would be subject
to a 1857 county law making a
gambling tax stamp on a COIN
operated machine prima facie
evidence for a gambling viola
ton. Penalty for the offense is
a fine of up to $500 or six
months in jail or both.
Off1cials say they know of no
gambling tax stamps that have
been purchased for the con-
verted machines whose owners
apparently feel are now out
side the "coin-operated" clas-
siflcation mentioned in county
and Federal laws.
Patrons using these remote
control machines no longer in
sert coins in a slot, but pay q

in not illegal itself but only
when payoffs result.
Court cases may be needed
to settle the question of what
actually constitutes a COIN
operated machine. Mr.. Green
land said. But he added he
could not see how the courts
could stand aside" for such
an arrangement.
Meanwhile, it was learned
that an excise bill recently
passed by the House includes a
provision extending the defini-
ton of coin-operated machines
to include machines remotely
controlled. The bill is now
before the Senate Finance
Committee.
The local law passed by the
last Maryland Assembly was

measure came after Hervey G
Machen. a county delegate to
the legislature, reported jan
uary "a that illegal payotfs
apparently were being made
on some 400 pinball machines
bearing Federal gambling tax
stamps that expired July /.
Two days later a breakdown
on such payoffs was ordered
by Mr.. Smith.
Sees Remedy
The county prosecutor said
yesterday the problem has been
remedied and that there are
no known establishments where
pinball payoffS are being made.
Our concern is payoffs, and

how an owner may rig up his

two visits for chronic cases and ten visits
for acute cases, per patient, in any 30-day
period"
In nutshell, the division is telling the
old folks how many times they can call
doctor and telling the doctor how many
times he needs to see a patient
But of course any doctor will tell you
that they still have to rely on the progress
of the patient to determine how soon in the
future to make another call. In chronic cases,
no physician is able to tell whether two
visits ten will be necessary and this
doubly applies to acute cases, where con-
slant medical attention may be necessary.
The division concluded with the state
ment that they will not pay for any drugs
or medical supplies dispensed by physicians.
Payment for mileage will no longer be
made and if a home call is necessary at
Summerfield or Carlisle, $400 per call is
all that will now be allowed
Based on the June rate of spending, the
division had been paying for million dollars
worth of hospital bills a year; 2.5 million
dollars worth of doctor fees; 3 million dollars
for nursing care; one-half million each for
drugs and dental and eve care; 100000 for
outpatient care and 100000 for nursing
service in the home.
If and when another curt2iment is
necessary, il is believed that the next ster
will he to have the old folks pay for their
own drugs and any individual, young or old
knows this is terrific drain on anybody's
pocketbook.
