drastic slash in its operating
budget has prompted the Mont
gomery County Mental Health
Clinic to form new, greatly en-
larged board of directors in an
effort to broaden community sup
port and understanding.
Consisting of from 20 to 30
members, representing all seq
ments of the community, the new
board will replace a 5-man com
mittee of Montgomery County
Mental Health Society members.
The society founded the psychi-
atric clinic, located in the Farm
ers' Bank building in Rockville,
some twenty years ago.
The new board, according to DR..
Henry Meyers, its temporary
chairman, faces the urgent task
OF securing adequate financial
means to make up for the loss of
direct state and county support.

More than $4,000 polio patients

upon the March Of Dimes for fl
nancial, medical and therapeuti-

mer U. S. Senator George L. Rad
cliffe, who again heads the drive
in Maryland.
Mr.. Radcliffe, who has been ac-
tive in the March of Dimes since
its inception in 1888, said that to
abandon the patient aid program
now would mean literally walking
out on 10000 human beings who
depend upon each of us for help.

Sells Red Eyed
COwbirds, Arment's
That Is,-Maybe

A rare South American Arm
ent's Cowbird, last seen 80 years
ago and presumed extinct, has
been sent to the Washington Zoo
by Rockville animal dealer Low
ry Riggs.
The rare bird was spotted in
shipment of about so other cow
birds gathered by an exclusive
collector for Mr.. Riggs in the por-
ton Of South America where Col
umbia, Brazil, and Peru come to-
gether.
The Arment's CoWbird differs
from ordinary cowbirds because
it has red eyes. Otherwise all
COW birds look alike: about the
size of a robin with irridescent
glossy black feathers.
The last Arment's cowbird was
seen in 1866. The bird is so rare
that no one remembers who Arm
ent was. He was lost in the shut
fle," says Mr.. Riggs.
Mr.. Riggs frequently supplies
the ZOO with rarities. Recently
he obtained bassaycon, a three
foot high member of the raccoon
family. The last bassaycon died
in a London zoo 1870 years ago
and the species was thought ex.
tinct.
The only Princess Eagle ever
seen was passed on to the ZOO by
Mr. Riggs. 1t is a snow white
eagle with a black mask
