In effect, the planners rec
concentrations went right down
the line with those voiced by
the Montgomery County Citi-
zens Planning Association
earlier in the week.
The citizens group had called
the sewer program premature"
and urged the County Council
to consider its conflicts with
proposed master plans for over
all future development in the
county, before giving 1t official
approval.
The Planning Commission
similarly warned that "untimely
projects" included in the plan
would interfere with orderly
planning for the future.
While voting overall approval
Of the program by a vote Of
80, the planners recommended
the Council delete the follow
ing proposed sewer projects:
Portions of the Little North
west Branch sewer beyond Bel
Pre-. the entire Northwest
Branch sewer, and those for
Crabb's Branch, Watts Branch
and Seneca Creek, with the ex-
ception Of a sewer needed at
MILESTONE Run in the vicinity
of Gaithersburg.
Opposing the Commissions
recommendations were Donald
Il. Gingery and w. lawson
king, both Of whom favored ap.
proving the program in its en-
tirety.

County Trash
Collection
Is Favored

The County Councils
plans to assume response
bility for the collection and
disposal of refuse in Mont
gomery County won the
Endorsement of the County
Planning Board this week.
At the same time, the plan
ners urged that one more in
Generator than the two proposed
by the Council be built in the
county, to accommodate ex-
banded development anticipated
In the White Oak and Fairland
areas in the eastern part of the
county.
The Councils present plans
call for construction Of a 400
ton capacity incinerator on the
grounds of the old County Poor
Farm outside Rockville and for
charging incinerators already
standing at Lyttonsville to 100
ton capacities.
OF the county poor farm site
contemplated by the Council,
the planners said some other
location should be selected,
since that area is planned for
development into residential and
Industrial park use.

over trash and garbage disposal

Sanitary Commission will De

pm. September Is.

Gingery warned of the dam
ger Of Incorporated towns such
as Gaithersburg, Poolesville and
Damascus expanding and TAX
ing over areas under their own
planning agencies - a prospect
which could result in haphazard
development.
"A patchwork of uncoordin-
ated planning" could result
from the county's failure to
adopt a long-term master plan
for sewer development, Gingery
declared.
He urged "some sort of state
legislation" to impose curbs OH
municipalities acting on their
own with plans for their areas.
The Commission also APP
proved a section of its staff re-
port calling for individual prof.
ects under the proposed five
year program to be submitted
in detail to its members for re-
view before they are included
in the plan. These would in.
clude proposals for water
mains, filtration and sewage
treatment centers, sewer mains
and new parklands develop

Cows Affected
BY Hot Weather

Everybody is uncomfortable,
when the Weather Bureau discom-
fort index hits 70. Everybody"
includes the cows, County Agent
VIM. II. Henderson says.
In fact, summer shelters for
dairy herds should be designed to
keep the discomfort index, which
is a measurement of the combina-
tion of heat and humidity, at rs
or less, Henderson says.
A three year study at the Uni
versity of Missouri on the effects
temperature and humidity on Hol-
stein cows-in U.S.D.A. climatic.
oratories-showed that when te-
mperature & humidity are too high
feed consumption and milk pro-
duction drop.
The study indicates the minimum
shelter requirements needed to
maintain milk production during
hot summer.
Cows should be kept where the
temperature humidity combination
produces a discomfort index of rs
or less. Such a discomfort index
gives a maximum range of a tenn
perature of n degrees with so per-
cent relative humidity to 80 degrees
with is percent relative humidity.
The study determines values that
can be used in designing air con-
ditioning equipment for shelter.
The discomfort index often ex-
ceeds rs during the summer in
Sussex County, Henderson says.

Soil Acidity Is

Are there robbers in your field?
Many farms harbor a thief called

farmers let the soil acidity thief
steal their money when they could
kill him by applying lime.
THE acidity problem is serious
in Kent county because few
farmers are using enough lime,

Ancient Scrolls
Found in Israel

JERUSALEM, Mar. l8 CAP) q.
Professor Yigal Yadin, lead
ing Israeli archaeologist, said
today that at first look some
l l,800-year-old scrolls found
this week in a southern Judean
desert cave seem to SurpaSS in
Importance anything discov-
cred so far in Israel and Jor-
dan relating to this period in
the Holy Lands history.
The poSt-Biblical archive was
discovered in the same cave
where year ago an expedition
led by Professor Yadin found
a number Of letters from Shi-
mon Bar-CoChbah, leader of
the last Jewish revolt against
the Romans. 1t appears the new
collection of documents will
considerably enhance research
into this period, Professor va
din said in a radio interview.
The digging area Of the pres
ent expedition is in almost in
accessible mountains close to
the southwestern shores of the
Dead Sea, about 40 miles south
of the site where the Dead Sea
scrolls were found.
