Equal Service
Law Favored

Support for a proposed anti
discrimination law for the coun-
ty came this week from the
Mayor and Council of the City
of Rockville.
The city heads endorsed the
principle and intent" of the
equal service measure, which
would make it illegal to refuse
service in any public accommo.
dation to any person because Of
race, color or creed. Discus
sion, however, brought out res
ervations against the powers
which the law would give a
permanent Human Relations
Commission.
A public hearing on the con-
troversial law has been set by
the County Council for Dec. IA.

Hickey Rebukes
School Planners

One of former County

Hickey's first actions on step
ping down from the presi-
dency this week was to voice
a sharp protest to the failure
of school building planners to
include a provision for fallout
shelter construction in the
budget they submitted to the
School Board this week.
He said he was disturbed"
about newspaper reports indi-
eating nothing has been in
cluded in the budget toward
implementing the Councils
policy favoring fallout shell
tiers in all new construction"
Hickey said agreement had
been reached between the
Council and school officials
that multi purpose rooms
should be built which could
serve in time of emergency
as fallout shelters.

County Council Approves
New Mental Health Project
DIR. Peoples to Seek
NH Financing Grant

A further step toward
giving Montgomery County
zone of the most compre-
hensive mental health pro-
grams in the country" was
taken this week by the Coun-
ty Council in approving a
two-pronged proposal sub
mitted by County Health Of
ficer William ]. Peoples.
Establishment of a pre-admis-
sion service for patients to be
admitted to mental hospitals
and formation OF a day-care
psychiatric center are the two
principal features of DR.. Peep
les proposal.
He told the Council it could
be financed under a full grant
from the National Institute of
Mental Health for at least five
years, and possibly five years
more" on a decreasing grant
basis.
DR.. Peoples pointed out that
this county, as well as most
communities in the United
Sta ties, lacks comprehensive
services for care of the mental
ly Ill, but added that his pro-
posed program, in addition to
existing provisions here for
child guidance and residential
care, could give US one Of the
most comprehensive programs
of mental health Of any in the
country"
1T is increasingly obvious"
he said, that health depart
ments are being faced with
problems of handling mental
patients"
Admitted For Social Reasons
In Montgomery County, he
declared, many patients ara
admitted to mental hospitals for
social reasons rather than psy.
cliatric need"
"In many cases, relatives
simply want 10 get these people
out Of the house. out Of their
families hair, 50 they put them
in mental hospitals"
He estimated there is now At
Springfield Hospital "a sizeabls
pool of older-age patients who
could be returned to their
homes and communities III suit
able facilities and arrangements
existed"
Such facilities would be pro-
vided at the proposed day care
center, DR.. Peoples said, where
outpatient treatment and super
vision Of discharged mental pa
tents and other adults could be
handled.
With the exception of a small
number Of beds for mildly dis
turbed patients at the Washing
ton Sanitarium and Hospital, he
told the Council, no mental
patient beds exist in Montgom-
cry County general hospitals.
Again, the day care center
could provide some housing for
patients scheduled for dag
nosis, observation and short
term intensive therapy through

New Roads
Needed for
lncineratOr
Rockville Streets
Won't Take Traffic

A possibility that major new
roads in the county, costing
over 81 million a mile to build,
may have to be used by trucks
hauling refuse from the upper
county to a proposed incinerator
IN the Southlawn area north of
Rockville arose at a meeting
of the County Council this
week.
Problems of access to the pro.
posed incinerator location were
brought to the Councils atten-
ton by Rockville Public Works
Director John Gray, who said,
that roads now being used for
access to the county dump at
Southlawn could be used to get
to the new incinerator-if its
capacity were $50 tons.
If the incinerator is of 1850
ton capacity, however, Gray
said he doubted Rockville's
streets could stand the wear and
tear of the heavier garbage
truck traffic and said additional
access roads would be needed.
Traffic generated by a $50
ton incinerator would cause no
trouble to our roads, Gray
said, "but we wouldn't like to
see our roads used for access
to a 1350-ton incinerator."
The County Council has re-
ceived a recommendation from
its staff that a new 900-ton in
cinerator be built on the present
site at Lyttonsville, but has not
yet reached a decision on
whether to make the proposed
Southlawn incinerator of $50
ton capacity to supplement this
or of 1350-ton capacity to handle
the entire county.
Declaring that a multiple-in-
cinerator development in the
county would suit us better,v
Gray said Rockville would
never be in a position to i'm
prove our roads to consider
maintenance for all that traffic
to an incinerator serving the
entire county.
Gray said one of RockvilIe's
problems in determining its
position on the proposed incin-
orator is that 1--WE don't know
what areas it's going to serve"
If it's going to serve much of
the county with a 1350-ton capa-
city, he said, enough arterial
roads would have to be provided
to serve it from a large area.
There's not much logic in
proposing an incinerator north
east of Rockville if you can't get
up there" he declared, adding,
There's no access now, but you
can make it."
He said that if the proposed
new routes Ms and relocated
Route % were in service now.
they could carry the refuse
truck traffic around Rockville.
But these roads, as / see it,
are eight to ten years off, and
Rockville's streets would be sub
jected to considerable battering
until then by incinerator traf-
fic," Gray asserted.
On suggestion from Coun-
Gil member Stella Werner that
$500,OO0 be appropriated from
funds set up for construction
of the Lyttonsville industrial
route and invested in these ma
jor routes, County Public
Works Director pointed out that
the price tag on major arterial
highways is 81 million a mile.
Council president David Ca
hoon said, however, that "these
roads are going to have to be

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Treatment of Hernia
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHh

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: /
have developed a rupture. My
doctor calls it an inguinal
hernia. He advises opera
ton. AS l am 54, I wonder
If it is necessary at this age?
Will you discuss the subject?
: Mr.. T, Arizona.
I ADVISE most people to
go ahead with surgical repair
if they are in good enough
physical condition to with
stand operation. When you
consider the discomfort one
has to bear in wearing a
truss especially in hot
weather. and the possibility
OF complications, repair of
a hernia seems to be the
logical treatment. The pa
TENTS condition, not age,
should be considered. There
fore, hernia operations can
be safely undertaken on the
infant and on the elderly.
I say hernia operations"
because there are several
varieties of hernia. One esti-
mate is that there are at
least 5 million people in the
United States who have
hernias.
A rupture, or hernia, means
that a bit of tissue or organ
protrudes from its normal
location through an opening
in the abdominal wall. Any
thing that puts excessive
strain on weak ligaments or
muscles is liable to cause a
hernia. For example, we find
increased pressure inside the
abdomen in occupations such
as musicians, who blow wind
instruments; heavy-manual
laborers, glass blowers and
any others who put an ex-
cessive strain on their alb
dominal muscles.
Some infants may get a
hernia from excessive crying.
But 1t is also true that Of
flee workers who do little
exercise may also get hernias.
Such a person may come
down with cold and violent
coughing; and the added
strain on his muscles can
produce a hernia.
About four out of every
five hernias which occur in
men are inguinal hernias. In
such cases, the herniated ma
terial may enter the inguinal
canal lin the groin) and
continue downward.
Ordinarily. repair of a her.
MIA is a simple operation:
The tissue and intestine are
pushed back into the abdo-
men and the surgeon rein
forces the ligaments and
muscles to prevent any fur
ther trouble. Unfortunately.
sometimes hernias do occur
after operation. because of
the underlying weakness of
muscle.
AS I mentioned, there are
types of hernia other than
the inguinal. For example,
femoral hernia, which occurs
more frequently in the fe-
male. The umbilical hernia,
which comes because of
weakness in the structures
around the umbilicus ("belly
buttonO. Incisional hernia
occurs in the healed opera
tional wound either because
OF infection. or because the
patients muscles and other
tissues are basically weak.
Then, or course, there is
diaphragmatic hernia, which
many of you have read
about. In these cases, parts
of the stomach or intestines
may push up into the chest
through a weakened opening
IN the diaphragm where the
esophagus passes into the
stomach. These patients
often complain of chest pain
