Damascus
Farm Bureau
Meeting on
Plan Spirited
Elizabeth C. Kile
WA 6-l454

On Friday evening in the
Damascus High School the
Montgomery County Farm Blu
reau held a special meeting in
order that Arthur Stellhorn
and his associate, George AL
len, of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission might explain the
year 1000" or Corridor" plan
which is being pushed by that
Commission.
After explaining the plan
with slides, the members Of
the Farm Bureau group asked
questions and presented their
side of the picture. The an
swers given by the planners
seemed unsatisfactory to the
m m b ers, some OF whom
pointed out that the developers
of this plan possessed little
knowledge of the farming sit
uation in the area. Many
spoke on the fallacies Of the
plan. Outstanding talks, were
made by Col. E. Brooke Lee,
McKendree Fulks and George
and Ward Fetrow Jr. George
Lechlider, the Farm Bureau
president, presided and also
pointed out how devastating
this type Of coming could be in
this area. Col. Lee stated that
nowhere In this country had
there ever been legislation pro-
posed for such a large section
which would put the land in a
deep freeze" for 40 years.
1t was pointed out that our
country has always encouraged
the free enterprise system, but
that this plan would deny the
landowners the right to use the
land as they wished, without
jeopardizing the rights Of their
neighbors. 1t was also brought
out that in all communistic
and socialistic countries,
among the first acts Of the
leaders was usurpation of the
land. The Planners suggested
this plan Is considered as a
pilot" project for the country,
to which the F.B. members re-
sponded that they were tired
Of being guinea pigs" The
meeting was spirited and many
other excellent points were
made.

FAoA ANAAt0AO AACAC AAcAo ANbAA W
She is Mrs. Dorothy G
Brosius, of COZ Blandford ST..
who started in the early days OF
the New Deal as a clerk and
left as office manager of the
local Asses branch.
Mrs. Brosius did not want to
retire when she did, but an auto
mobile accident this spring In.
capacitated her for several
weeks, and by the time she was
ready to go back, she decided
that this would be the best time
to end her long career.
This soft-spOken and pleas.
ant lady has been friend to
Montgomery County farmers
as long as most Of them can
remember. From the time she
was a clerk In the county
agents office until when she
retired from the Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
Service, Mrs. Brosius has al.
ways worked in their interest.
Like many of the programs
which started In the depression
and mushroomed over the
years, the nations agricultural
program has been a dynamic
one. "All these changes and
programs that have been COM
ing and going have givsr me a
fit sometimes, trying to keep
up with Them" she says.
"Our office moved around
Rockville from time to time,
and even the name of the office
changed occasionally"
She was one of the first en-
ployes when the county agent
was located In the old school
house building. Later she moved
her desk and files to the Farm
ers' Bank, and finally ended up
IN the Court House building.
The programs Mrs. Brosius
helped administrate were as
varied as the activities Of
farmers themselves. 1--WE paid
them for not growing wheat
then we paid them incentives
for raising sheep. There was
. hog program where each
SOW was limited as to the
number Of piglets she could
have"
The latter point proved to be
an unsual experience for Mrs.
Brosius. One farmer who did
not want to kill one of his ex-
cess piglets gave it to her IN
stead of sending the little pig
to slaughter.
Her circumstances at the time
she started working for the
USDA were almost similar to
those which forced her retire
ment. Mrs. Brosius started
work with her leg in a cast.
II had my foot up on the table
while / ran the mimeograph
machine, as we started from
scratch"
She remembers the early
years of the depression as q
time Of uncertainty and an.
xiety. Back In those days we
had to hold the farmers hand.
He would try to tell you which
field he was growing the wheat
and we would draw a map. II
was quite an experience"
Serving the farmer was her
biggest reward, Mrs. Brosius
states. Now at SO. she looks
back on a career that was both
interesting and of service to the
community and the nation.

Montgomery County, born near

ANA Says Eye Accidents Are
Particular Threat To Youngsters

More than half a million
Americans suffer eye accidents
every year.
Most of these accidents.
W h h sometimes result in
blindness or impaired sight, are
needless and preventable.
Eye accidents are palticu-
lar threat TO Youngsters. Care
full, emphatic training in tile
dangers Of pointed sticks BIB
guns. bows and arrows and fire
works are a must in every
family. Parents can help BY
using common sense in select
ing toys that are safe for the
age of the child.
With the more widespread
utilization of regular physical
examinations, more small chill
dren are being found early
with defective vision than ever
before. In childhood play glass
es are easily broken. If young
ster in your family wears glass
eS, inquire about the protective
safety lenses that now are
available.
Visual care Of children should
begin in the pre-school years,
when many eye defects still can
be corrected II the eye defect
is something that cannot be
corrected except by glasses. it
is important to have the child
fitted with glasses early to
a vol d possible problems in
school and at play.
Equally important for par
ents of children who wear
glasses is to remember that the
child's vision changes and that
regular eye examinations are
important to make certain that
the glasses provide the proper
correction.
Some of the warning signs of
eye trouble III children are ex-
cessive blinking. frequent rub
bing Of eyes, squirting, exces-
sive frowning. stumbling ov !
small objects. undue sensitivity

sites and inflamed or watery
