Still working on monthly
analysis, figures show that
service was given to an average
of II unmarried mothers per
month-pre-delivery or post-de-
livery counselling or planning
for the future.
Nineteen families fell into
other problem categories, run
ming the gamut from requests
for help in facing the realities
of aging, balancing the family
budget, mental or physical ILL
ness, or individual personality
adjustment.
1--WE consider this entire
group of 152 families Cor 80
per cent of those helpedl as
coming under one umbrella Of
distortions in family relation
ships, causing great discomfort
to all concerned in everyday
living" Miss Ernie said.
In addition, service to families
seeking children for adoption
averages about 35 a month, ac-
cording to Miss Ernie. This
figure includes families await
ing home studies as well as
those being actively considered
or under supervision with a
child in the home.
There are, at present, an aver
age of seven children under SUI
pervision, either in foster care
(pre-adoptive planning) or in
actual adaptive homes under
agency supervision, prior to
final legal adoption. Family
Service has placed seven chill
dren in adaptive homes since
January of this year. Figures
show that over the past three
years, the agency has placed an
average of eight to II children
in adaptive homes per year.

Lakewood Club Officers
Ask Return of $780, 900

Lakewood Country Club, its
clubhouse still an empty shell
in Glen Hills, will go into court
September II in an effort to
get the return of more than
$500,000 turned over to the
clubs promoters.
Latest move in the battle be-
tween members and Troy V.
Post, jr., Bill M. Allen and
Leroy w. Pickett, along with a
corporation they head, will
come in District Court.
Manuel j. Davis, attorney rep
resenting a slate of new Off
GERS elected last December, will
ask Judge Leonard P. Walsh
for a summary judgment in the
case.
Davis asks in a motion that
the court rule that club direct
crs never legally turned oper-
ating reins over to the three.
He contends Post, Allen and
Pickett have served as trustees
since the club was founded in
July, 1859, and as such should
turn back to its 1000 members
some 100000 spent on manage
ment fees and other matters,
and should account for about
SIS million collected from
members.
Davis uses testimony from a
hearing last March. to support
his motion. A trial in the cases
also is planned for October "a,
at which time final settlement
could be determined even if
Judge Walsh gives a summary
judgment 1lrSt.
The main point of Davis case
is the contention that directors
never in fact ratified a "pur-
ported management agreement
dated July II, 1859" by which
Lakewood Management Corpor-
alton, controlled by the defend
ants, supposedly was given
management rights.
The motion also alleges:
Defendants diverted to other
causes S150,0O0 of a $275,0O0
sum collected from life mem
bers for payment of excise
taxes.
Defendants last March as
signed management rights and
title to another company after
Judge Walsh two days before
had ordered all contracts frozen
pending further study.

More than 5000 County Residents
Aided by Family Service in Past Year

vided by this agency in the past
year represents preventive help
to almost 5000 Montgomery
County children in the families
helped said Miss Ernie. "What
this means in social profit to
the community can hardly be
estimated"
Any resident of Montgomery
County can apply for help at
F mily Service. Fees are
are charged according to the
ability to pay; for those who
cannot afford a fee, the service
lis free. twenty-five per cent Of
those helped last year on con.
tinuing basis paid a fee ranging
from ST to $40 per interview.
These services were provided
by a professional staff whose
time on the job equaled that of
only four full-time social work
counselors, with the help of
some volunteer office workers.
"The staff of this agency has
not increased in the last 20
years." according to Miss Ernie,
although the county's popula-
ton has multiplied many times
since, as have our requests for
service. We are indeed con-
cerned about the many families
who have to wait their turn
for continued service" she
added.
Two teen-age volunteers who
helped out the limited staff
regularly this summer were last
week presented with certificates
of appreciation by Miss Ernie
Debbie Goldstein of Silver
Spring and Judith Mathews of
Rockville.
Other summer volunteers in
cluded Susan Harris of Garrett
Park, Marsha Kottler and
Jeanne Rosenberg Of Silver
Spring. Prospective volunteers
are asked to call George LeBoff,
the agency's incoming executive
director, at Pc. 1896 after
Labor Day.
The United Givers Fund,
which supports this agency, will
launch its once-a-year drive for
funds to assure the continuance
of the services provided by 14S
health, welfare and recreation
agencies October 2. The overall
goal is $7.8O0.000.

adjustment to money manage

Community planning, the
mobilization of community re-
sources for good family living,
and alertness to social condi-
tons in need of community at
tention are also functions of this
agency"
Broken down by problems
considered during the past year,
figures show that marital diff
culties and parent-child relation
ships led the list, accounting
for 81 per cent of the total. For
example, statistics for the first
quarter Of this year show that
out of a total of 1874 families
served per month, "a received

Miniature Rose
Can Be Forced
To Early Bloom

The Newsletter of the Po-
tomac Rose Society published
this article, written by Helen
Spangler:
Basically miniature roses are
outdoor plants but they lend
themselves to house culture for
short periods. Such a period
may begin in mid-January and
extend to warm weather in
May. The care of the plant in
doors is generally the same as
that Of bushes in the garden,
on a small scale, of course.
Lift a miniature from your
outdoor bed, pot it using good
garden soil mixed with a scant
teaspoon Of 5-10-5 or any rose
food that you are accustomed
to using. After the miniature
is planted, prune away all
twigS leaving several of the tiny
canes about 2 to 8 inches long.
Water the plant and place it
in a sunny window. A basement
window is ideal until the plant
blooms, usually in late March,
when you will surely want to
place the miniature where you
can most fully appreciate the
beauty of the tiny roses which
are much like their big sister
hybrid teas. TO keep the bush
healthy you may have to give
it an occasional puff Of an all
purpose dust (roSe).
Sometime in May replant the
miniature directly into an out
door bed. There it will spend
the summer growing vigorously
and producing blooms. After
the fall and early winter DOR
NANCY the cycle will have been
completed and your tiny bush
may be brought back indoors
to give you roses several months
earlier than your outdoor
bushes.
Frequently miniature bushes
In bloom are purchased ct

pests and diseases. birds and
squirrels.
Most Of the plants men,
toned are either vaSe-Shaped
or pyramidal trees and the
bushes are round shapes. Up
right, columnar trees will add
variety, and provide emphasis
marking a corner or a gate.
Some of the yews, arborvitae,
spruceS and hemlocks can be
used in this way but be careful
in your selection, for many of
these are quite rapid growers.
While visiting nurseries, ex-
anime some of the winter
blooming plants. There should
be a spot for one in every
garden, such plants as witch
hazel (HamameliS millis) jas
mine (Jasminum nudiflorum) :,
or Viburnum fragrans.
II plants Of a kind are kept
together, the garden will have
q general plan, and within
each group an attractiveness
Of its own. Thus roses should
be together in one section, and
azaleas in another. Soil, sun,
water and fertilizer require
mentS are different, so each
win do better by itself, as well
as provide more interest. In
the rose area have variety in
the kinds you grow.
Don't Crowd Them
Don't be too hasty about
filling in every spot, for the
possibility Of specializing in
some group Of plants is almost
as unlimited in the small gar
den as in the large. The plants
need to be smaller but the
collection can be extensive. An
alpine or rock garden may be
the best way to use a sGeep
bank. This is an ideal spot for
q wide group of henS-and-
chickens or dwarf evergreens.
Varieties are not easy to find,
so one has an objective on
every trip. Such q section can
become an absorbing hobby.
Above all leave room to try
some new plants.
This is borderline country.
By plant breeding and selec-
ton, varieties have been de-
veloped that do remarkably
well here. At least 1000 varie-
ties Of azaleas flourish here.
With selection and testing,
cameliaS may rival azaleas.
Lilac varieties may be added
to add even more to the glory
Of our spring.
Don't try to crowd all these
plants in, but work with the
group that appeals to you
most, and embody enough of
the tall and the short, the
early and the late, to make a
garden that is a pleasure in
January as well as in July.
