the School of Agriculture, Univer-
sity of Delaware in reporting on
the Small Water Shed program here
in the state stressed the fact that
Conservation of Soil and Water
should not be thought of as the job
Of just the farmer but rather the
responsibility of all citizens. Dr.
Worrilow went on to say that
here in Delaware it is indeed en-
couraging to see that our citizens
have long recognized this fact and
have been supporting this work
with their time, their thought and
their money in a very excellent
manner"
William r. Ratledge, Assistant
State Soil Conservationist, New
ark, presented a series of color
slides showing many conservation
measures that have been installed
on the land throughout the state as
well as many of the problem areas
that need attention. Included were
pictures of the recently completed
Bear Hole Small Water Shed Pro-
ject near Roxana and the Upper
Nanticoke Small Water shed pro-
ject near Bridgeville which is just
getting under way.
Hollis Williams of the Washing
ton office of the Soil Conservation
Service praised the work of Dis
trict Supervisors. He pointed out
that "our rapidly expanding popu-
lation, and the extensive use of our
good land for new roads, airports,
homes and Industrial developments
efforts devoted to improving and
conserving the productivity of our
soils an increasingly important one
to our nation welfare"

1882 Map
Erred

A 75-year-old error in map
making has been haunting the
developers Of a new So million
Montgomery County country
club.
First. the developers of
Tamarack Country Club, Inc,
discovered two months ago
they had planned the clubs bar
200 feet inside the dry Darnes-
town election district.
They asked the county coun-
Gil six weeks ago to move the
line 200 feet to put the club
house-and the bar-into the
local-option Poolesville election
district.
The county council refused.
Yesterday the clubs lawyer,
Plummer Shearin, made it
come out all right when he re-
vealed that determined" study
Of 10Th century charts and
statutes had disclosed that the
offending maps which located
the bar in the dry district were
in error.
He said the boundary line
near Seneca got misplaced
about Is years ago and nobody
ever noticed the difference.
County officials conceded Mr..
Shearin may be right, but they
plan to check.

AS introduced, the bill would
have subjected the mother to
criminal prosecution with pos
sible prison terms, possible
sterilization, loss of welfare aid
and loss of her children.
The commission said it found
a complete lack of any accu-
rate" information on the num-
Der of illegitimate births or the
cost under the welfare program.
1t said a complete study will
require more time and funds
for research.
The only reliable statistical
data found by the commission
was a State welfare depart
ment count in December, 1858,
which showed 8,755 illegitimate
children on the welfare rolls.
1t said that projecting this
figure over a years time would
indicate the cost of public
support of illegitimate children
in Maryland's aid-to-depend-
ent-children program is nearly
SIS million a year.
6,15O in Baltimore
OF the 8,755 total, Baltimore
City accounted for 6,150, of
which 5000 were non-white.
OF the counties, Prince
Georges was highest with 1872.
Among the other counties were
Montgomery with 1870; Anne
Arundel, 306; Charles, 141;
Frederick, 20; St. Marys, 1856;
Washington, 90, and Calvert, 46.
THE commission has found
not only a lack of responsible
ity for treating LEGITIMACY,
but a tendency to disregard it
whenever possible and to deal
with only the evident symp-
toms while ignoring the prob
lem which causes them" the
report said.
1t said, for example. that the
financial need arising out of
illegitimate birth frequently is
met through the welfare de-
partment's aid-to-dependent-
children (ADC) program "but
there appears to be nothing in
this program, as it has been
administered, which regards il
legitimacy as a form of social
pathology or makes any pre-
tense of attempting to reduce,
eliminate or control it."
The commission also said:
Maryland, while showing con-
Germ for the physical needs of
illegitimate children, has ig-
nored the social evil of which
their birth is a result and in
advertently condoned it by
keeping no records and at
tempting no rectifying meas
ureS."
The report pointed out that
for the last % years Maryland
has kept no official records of
illegtmate births.

diately ascertainable, but with

Legislative Council. The COM
mission asked for more time to
study the problem so that it
could come up with a COM
prehensive program" to COM
bat it.
The commission said it ex-
amined several reports made in
other States on illegitimacy
but found them Disappointing.
Generally, these reports
seek to explain the reasons for
illegitimacy; tend to justify it:
to condone it as Just one of
those things: to find comfort
in the indication that it is not
as extensive. nor as expensive
to the taxpayer, as some people
have feared, and to conclude
that nothing really can or
should be done about it ex-
cept spend more money for
education. recreation, public
housing. social case work with
families-and further studies.
