Hog Cholera
Program Stressed

montgomery County swine
producers can be congratulated
on the very fine manner in which
they have kept their swine herds
mostly free from hog cholera this
year, states George Lechlider,
chairman of the County Exten.
sion Swine Committee, Delbert
Foster, County Agent and DIR.
Paddock, County Veterinarian.
Working together in a program
with farmers the hog cholera
plague which broke out last year
has been handled by farmers
through vaccination.
In the early part of 1857 only
four isolated cases had been
found in Montgomery County and
they were Immediately taken care
of through vaccination with a
local veterinarian. Prompt report
ing and good vaccination proce-
dures kept the hog cholera dis
ease from spreading.
DR.. Paddock said Montgomery
County being free of hog cholera
is in contrast to surrounding
counties, where he has been in
formed there are a number of
serious outbreaks occurring" 1t
was just a year ago that Mont
gomery County lost 1000 head,
but through a concerted effort
made by the farmers, local prac-
titioners, County Agents office
and the Livestock Sanitary Com
mission, it was brought under
control.
In a joint statement made TO-
day Mr.. Lechlider, DR.. Paddock
and MIR. Foster strongly stress
the control of hog cholera by vac
cination. Preventive measures
are far better than waiting until
the hog cholera disease comes on
to the place.

Experts Agree
Handicapped Kids
Need Two Clinics
BY Steed Evans
staff Ranorfa-

The greatest single advance in the field of
for handicapped children in Maryland would
be the establishment of two or more centers for
the diagnosis, evaluation, initial treatment and
rehabilitation of children with severe multiple
handicaps
This is the basis of subcommittee report to
the Maryland State Planning Committee which
will review the report later in Baltimore.
The subcommittee proposed the development
OF such facilities at the Maryland University and
Johns Hopkins University Hospitals.
The report coupled the pressing need for adj
dtional facilities with the equally urgent need
for more trained rehabilitation personnel
Because of lack of such personnel and a
centralized program, the subcommittee reported,
many handicapped children yearly are misplaced
in Institutions which cannot cope with more than
one of their disabilities.
The result often requires child's parents to
transport him to clinics and treatment centers in
distant parts of the state and those centers too
often have waiting lists three months long.
Add to the problem the belief of the subcom-
mittee that the number of handicapped children
in the state will increase and the need for swift
action becomes even more urgent.
The report pointed out the following in.
adequacies instances of the need for centralza-
ton:
Speech diagnostic clinics are held in only six
of the States % counties and in these, too in
frequently
Pediatric consultation for cerebral palsied
children is organized in only one county all
need it,
Mental health clinics operate at "a locations
In 10 counties but they are able to take only the
most severe cases and even then child must
wait months before being seen.
Vision clinics are held in II counties and are
urgently needed in the remaining r.
The report emphasized that many children
nave two or more of the above listed handicaps
ana that there is not institution in the state
that can care for all of them
One Of the committees major points was
that there is no place in Maryland where special
teachers for handicapped children can be trained
II called for the need of teamwork on the
part OF medical specialists educational authorities
parents and teachers in planning for the hand
capped child; and also that there should be facl-
tes at the state level for periodic joint evaluation

Current Dilemmu-
Who's TO Pay the Bill
For AbIe-Bodied Idle?
LMW
Current DiIemmu--

About IS percent of the population of Mont
gomery county, repeatedly one of the richest in
the nation, earn less than $1,000 year. Another
Is per cent earn less than $4,000
large percent of these low-wage workers
engage in seasonal work and are without jobs dur
ing the cold weather
Thus the county is faced with an unusual
dilemma: who should pay for the needs of these
unemployed
The Board of Public Welfare doesn't It's
funds are SO regulated that it help only those
physically unable to work, the blind, widows with
dependent children and aged persons without
means of support
A survey conducted by the Social Planning
Council, an organization supported by the United
Givers Fund showed that these unemployedem-
ployables generally turn to various relief agen-
cies for help. The survey concluded that this leads
to a self-perpetuating pattern of dependency that
breaks family down and is drain on the com
munity.
The whole survey was presented to the Coun-
ty Board of Public Welfare last week by the board
of trustees of the planning council Welfare head

Only the Dedicated

Discovery of the fact that more than one
third of our teachers hold extra jobs in order to
make ends meet should shock the community.
1t should shock the community into being
conscience-stricken And it should shock the COM
munity into some sort of action.
Those of us who feel teachers are being
paid well enough now have good reason to re-
examine our beliefs, We should realize that
we are being grossly unfair to our teachers.
OF course the sad part of this whole thing
is that we are not just being unfair to our teach
ers. We are being unfair to ourselves. 1t is not
just the teachers welfare that is at stake 1t is
our children who are suffering as result of our
shortsighted policy.
Can teacher who must work as a radio
nouncer every night from 10 to midnight have
time to adequately prepare his lessons for the
next day? At what point does he reach the limit
of physical endurance? And what about his fam
lily? Aren't they entitled to see him with some
frequency?
There are some who jump to the conclusion
that teachers are adequately paid because they
know of case where the teacher wife, earns,
say, $500, and her husband is paid about $1,000 or
$4,000 in his job This leads these individuals to
conclude that teachers are, in fact overpaid Such
reasoning, of course is ridiculous. Instead of
being avoided by family breadwinners, the teach
ing business should attract them. At the moment,
many breadwinners run away from it and that
is why non breadwinners abound in the profess
sion. Only the dedicated remain if they have de-
pendents.
Montgomery county-of all counties in the
United States should not tolerate this condition
We can afford to pay our teachers a decent
wage so that they don't have to clerk or pump
gas, or lay bricks, or work with sheet metal, or
sell books. We should give ourselves break by
paying the teaching profession what it deserves.

William E. Roger said action would be taken
until more information from statewide level can
be obtained.
In brief, the survey showed:
UGF funds used by the Social Service
League are being used to fill the gap to meet
emergencies for food, fuel and rent, but that if
the money so spent were used for counseling serv-
ice the need for emergency funds would be less.
Ablebodied people without jobs before the
second World War were supported by equal State
and Federal funds which still are available If the
program were to be resumed
The survey consisted of a study of So family
cases, or 248 individuals Threequarters of these
were white and 60 per cent lived north of Rock
vile and Is percent lived in the city, Almost half
of the total had lived in the county for more than
10 years and were not known as "repeaters"-
they work when they can find jobs.
They averaged four children per family and
the majority of the fathers were unskilled work
men, Twenty-Five different agencies and organi-
cations were involved in helping these So families

Tough TO GET
New Voters
To Register

eff could send out signals as
strong as that 'Sputnik' thing
then maybe we could get some
people in here to register"
lamented Rose K. Dawson of
the Office of the Supervisor of
Elections.
Miss Dawson's despair was
caused by the fact that as of
Tuesday of this week, only 817
persons had registered for the
primary elections next year at
the several rowing" boards of
elections.
"If had my way" Miss Daw-
son stated, 1--WE wouldn't operate
those rowing boards next year
we'd just stay here in the Of
flee.
"Of course, we can't do that;
people have the right to register
and vote. But this year, they
just don't seem to care. This is
the lowest number of regis
trants we've had since we start
ed operating the rowing boards"
she said.
She remembers last Septem-
Der with uneaSineSs. On the
last day before the books were
closed to registration for the
general elections, she and her
co-worker, Ward w. Caddington,
registered 1928 persons in the
County Office Building in Rock
vile.
"If we could only get people
out to register while there's
plenty of time" she sighed.
Registration at the rowing
boards closes October 81. There
after, persons must register at
the office of the Supervisor of
Elections in the county building,
from 9 a. m through 4:30 p. m.
