County's Sanitary commission
which was organized at a meeting
last Wednesday night
Earl Haenftling, Accident. was

sion.
The three members of the COM

Commissioners on Monday, De-
cember 80, to discuss pollution and
possible sewage systems, and Mr.
Bittinger said at that time the
Commissioners were to decide
whether to appropriate sufficient
funds that would be made avail
able to the commission to hire an
engineer to make a survey of the
district.
The district includes Oakland,
Mt. Lake Park and Loeb Lynn
Heights. The commission is con-
sidering the possibility of a sew
age disposal plant and the lagoon
system of taking care of the prob
lem. The lagoon system is by far
the more economical, it was stated,
and there is a chance that such a
system would be the best for this
area. Bittinger said that there are
state and federal funds available
whereby each would furnish 25
percent of any cost of construction.
Bittinger also said that any
money provided by the County
Commissioners would be return
able to them if any system of pol

Additional Forestry
Camps Are Proposed

The Advisory Board of the State
Forestry camps which met in spe-
cial session last Friday at Cumber-
land, is in favor of establishing
three additional forestry camps in
| Western Maryland
David L. Curran, chief of division
of Training Schools, said that the
State Planning commission had
been asked to include the request
in the capital improvements portion
of the governors budget during the
meeting of the Maryland Legisla-
ture in February
Mr. Curran pointed out that
since an administrative coordinat-
ing unit has been set up for the
three camps now located at Green
Ridge, near Homecoming and Mead
OW Mountain, the Western Mary
land counties are the logical place
for the location of the three addi-
IlOHdl camps.
Construction cost of each has
been estimated at between S1I5,OOO
and S125,00O according to MIR. Cur
ran, who said they eventually
would be 35-bed camps. Exact sites
have not been determined. Two of
the present camps are in this coun-
ty.
Also discussed last Friday was the
opening of new temporary ad-
ditional camp at Victor Cullen hos
pital at Sabillasville.

Hardly anyone likes the new

Those handsprings the COL

nounced since have turned to
groans as they took a second
look. The rule changes provide
for slightly more liberal Substi-
buttons, but not, as m os t
coaches originally thought, a
return to the old free-wheeling
days following World War II.
The main provisions are:
l - Unlimited substitution
may be made, when the clock
is stopped, except on fourth
down or on the down immedi-
ately after the ball change
hands.
2-On fourth down or on the
down Immediately following
the change Of possession, a
team may substitute two
players on a wild card" basis.
Most coaches agree that this
will eliminate the use of a
three-unit system, including
offensive and defensive special
ty teams. Paul Dietzel Of Army,
developer Of the Chinese Ban
dts, and others claim they will
have to c completely revamp
their strategy. It also will elm
mate the messenger" meth

have basic platoons of nine

cialists scheduled fc the other
two spots. One, undoubtedly,
will be at quarterback.
