FREE FOR THE TAKING
County Leaves Available for Compost
by ANNE H. CHRISTMAS
star star Writer

Leaves haze their time to fall,
And fopers to tDither at the
"a north minds breath
49,. --FeItciG D. HensGns
In Montgomery County.
where trees are among subur-
bias proudest possessions. the
street cleaning department. and
the citizenry have arrived at q
happy meeting Of minds on the
disposition Of leaves when the
north winds begin to blow.
The county's tree division,
waging q constant battle each
November and December to
keep up with the work Of the
winds, sends forth eight vac
uum machines which grind up
the leaves by the use Of giant
fans.
Inhabitants Of the lower Sec
ton Of the county. many Of
whom are dedicated to the care
and management of their gar
dens, file requests early in the
season for processed leaves to
use as compost to enrich their
soil.
Some Early Birds
Some farsighted gardeners
plan ahead to such an extent
that they place their orders in
midsummer, long before the
north wind has been heard
from. Other requests continue
to come in and are filed as
rapidly as possible, q truckload
at Q time.
The county keeps its own
stockpile Of well-rotted leaves
on vacant land near the tree
divisions headquarters at 8710
Brookville road. Silver Spring.
With nearly 800 tons Of rich
black compost available for the
county's own planting program,
there is no need for more leaves
to be imported at present,
which makes the entire supply
available without charge to the
public.
Residents Of the lower half
Of the county are eligible. below
a line just south Of Rockville
and Norbeck.
Croydon Tolson, head Of the
tree division, points out that
the leaves make a compost that
Is very nearly neutral, which is
ideal for almost everything
except azaleas, rhododendron
apd other bushes requiring acid
soil.
Keep for Year or So
The vacuum machines,
manned during the busy season
by temporary help hired for
the leaf-falling season, reduce
the leaves to about Is per cent
Of their original size.
Although the processed leaves
are ready for mulching imme-
diately on delivery, Mr.. Tolson
points out that they are even
more valuable after they've
been allowed to rot for a year
or two. His pride in the coun-
tvs 3-year-old compost heap
is prompted by its excellent
results with trees and bushes
planted by the county, which
thrive on it.
Those who would like to have
leaves by the truckload are
asked to call the tree divisions
office in Silver Spring to put
their requests on file.

Kickoff time is slated for 500

at the Seabury Avenue and Sale
van Place entrance at 700 p. m.
Milford Highs Buccaneers gain
ed measure of revenge on Friday
for some humiliatirg defeats suf-
fered in the past four years at the
hands of Laurel by downing the
Bulldogs 15-0 in their own baili-
wick. Numerous penalties against
the Milford squad aided in pre-
venting the game from becoming
a rout.
Milford blocked two punts ear
ly in the first quarter. After the
first one, the Bucs advanced deep
into Laurel territory, but penalties
halted one drive. Laurel was fore
ed back to their own five yard line
and in attempting to pull out of
danger another punt was blocked.
The ball rolled free in the end
zone, but Laurel back fell on the
ball for a safety.
Milford tailed in the second
quarter when, on a series of run
ming plays featuring Sharp and
Cunning, the. Bucs moved to mid
field. Morris hit Cunning with a
pass and Steve ran to the twenty
yard line, being downed by the
safety man. A few running plays
were tried and Quarterback Nor
ris hit Glenn Kenton- who was all
alone in the end zone for the
touchdown. The attempted try for
the extra point was not good
In the final quarter, Milford ad-
vanced the ball so yards on a sus-
tanned drive with Cunning, Sharp
and Smack doing the majority, of
the ball carrying. Jim Smack
plunged the final two yards for
the touchdown.
The Milford defense which has
been improving steadily played a
stellar role in containing the Lau-
rel attack and preventing the Bull
dogs from seriously threatening.

Milford Riddles
Have Adopted Taher

Because of an appeal by an uncle
to the Delaware Heart Association
the concern of a human life by two
Delaware mothers and an anony-
nous benefactor who stepped for
ward to underwrite the entire cost
of the trip, has made it possible for
Taher to arrive in America and
have life saving open-heart oper-
alton, which could not be perform
ed in his country. These people are
not alone In their enthusiasm and
interest to help Taher who comes
from Aleppo, Syria.
The first graders in Room is at
Lakeview School, Milford, are
quite anxious to help do all they
can to help this little six year old
boy. ,,
Last year the children in Room
lis helped a little six year old boy
in Alexandria, Va, who wanted a
left hand for Christmas. Many will
recall how these children taped
pennies on left hands made out OF
tagboard to mail to little Mike.
The boys and girls sent decorat-
ed letters to Taher last week with
Mrs. Frank Lynch when she went
up to see him. One of these letters
is hanging on his bed. Last Friday
they made scrapbook of big
drawings. Mrs. John Achorn made
a beautiful cover for this book
with sponge painting and tied it
with yarn. They have made cards
with Puff, the first grade cat, say
ing, Puff says, Get well soon'".
Next week, they plan to have Spot
say, Jump up, Taher". These will
we all hope and pray will be sue
cessful.
Mr.. Frank Lynch visited the
class on Monday afternoon to tell
them all about Taher and his fami-
ly. The children were interested to
see on map just how far away
from Milford, Syria is. Mrs. Lynch
enjoyed seeing the reading charts
the children have made up about
Taher. The charts have his picture
on them and, illustrations and
stories made by the children about
little sick boy and what they
will do to help him.
Mrs. Frank Clendaniel, who is
their teacher, says this is not only
a good opportunity to help another
child, but it is grand way to
stimulate more interest in reading,
neat printing and art work, and a
better understanding of the world
around US.
Thanksgiving is the time to help
others and thank God for all we
have. The children won't forget
Taher when they send their cards
with turkey decorations.
Christmas plans for Taher in
clude making a big Christmas
stocking with Santa on one side
made with liquid embroidery paints
and on the other side it will say,
ITO Taher from Santa Claus help
ers" and all the children will sign
their names. This will be some
thing Taher can take back to Syria
with him to remember his first
American Christmas.
Mrs. Lynch has promised the
children she will bring Taher to
school to visit them as soon as he
