An adolescent youth will

Scores of children in Mont
gomery County are faced with
one or more of these problems
every day of their lives.
Their discipline is desultory,
often violent; their meals are
unbalanced, often skinny; their
bodies are dirty, often ill-clad.
Their plight is not so much
one of poverty as improvidence;
not so much the result of finan-
cial poverty as poverty of mind
and spirit, and primarily, love.
Many of these children have
been ordered by the court re-
moved from their parents for
their own good and safety. And
it is the lot of the Montgomery
County Welfare Board to find
homes for them.
But occasionally these chill
dren must be returned to their
homes to live with filth, hunger,
fear, or the insecurity of an
emotionally unstable family.
Why? Because not enough

Now the need has reached the
crisis point. The Welfare Board
has issued an urgent appeal for
emergency shelter homes for
these children.

There are three shelter homes

to find. Most modern houses
are too small to take so many

turned to for cocktails.
Race officials are planning
one race in the 44-foot Luders
yawls for Saturday and two
Sunday. The midshipmen will
use the boats Saturday morn

while the "midgets" will m q n
Cadets, the junior group will
sail Gannets, and the men,

His brother, Grant, who is

Dick Schaffer Of the Sports
man in Bethesda, who is an in
veterate trout fisherman, Is
crying the blues over what hap
pened to him on q rugged trip
to New York State. He was at
Millsite Lake between the towns
Of Redwood and Theresa. The
water is 100 feet deep and 60
pound trout are known to in
habit 1t.
He baited his spinning rod
and 6-pound test line with q
5-inch minnow and set 1t
aside to rig q fly rod. Almost
Immediately he had a tremen-
dous strike on the spinning out
fit. He knew at once that he
had q laker in the 20 to 30
pound class. Schaffer stopped
one run at 100 yards and
brought the fish close enough
to the boat to see him.
The laker then made another
run of so yards and again
Schaffer halted him. VIII e n
Schaffer brought him near the
boat, the trout made a sudden
turn and snapped the 6-pound
test line as If it were tread.
A short time later Schaffer
and two couples fishing nearby
heard q thrashing as If fish
were breaking. Out on the water
they spotted what looked like q
fish belly up. Schaffer had only
a rowboat. One of the couples
had an outboard and went out
to the fish.
You guessed 1t, 1t was a laker
with q hook and 6-pound test
line in his mouth. The man in
the boat Melted the fish and
went away, leaving Schaffer
to mourn over what might have
been.
The man who Melted the fish
yelled over that he estimated
its weight at % pounds.

ton, leans to the theory that
the perch were killed by the
combination of high tempera-
lures for several days, dissolved
oxygen in the water at a low
point; over fertilization of the
water, with a high percentage
of phosphorus and nitrogen
that makes algae grow > and the
great concentration of white
perch in the river this year.
THE perch are being killed
while species of more economic
value are unaffected because of
the heavy concentration of
these fish and their susceptible
ity to disease, even under good
conditions.
I'VE have found concentra-
tons Of white perch as high
as 200 fish per acre in the Po-
tomac and this alone would
place them under stress. Their
resistance was lower because Of
this crowding. Besides, they
have Just finished spawning
which further weakens them.

Then we got q combination
of four or five days of real hot
weather, followed by four or
five cooler but cloudy days.
That cut down the oxygen In
the water, and being un d e r
stress anyway, many were
killed"
A number of perch killed In
the Potomac have been sent to
