Rotarians Hear Of Drug Danger should be dangers of pre- Young people made aware of the inherent in misuse scription drugs, a represen- tative of a major pharma- ceutical firm told Mount Joy at Rotarians Tuesday noon Hostetters . Terrace Leahy, a represen- tative for Smith Kline and French Laboratories, Phila- delphia, urged parents and others who deal with youth to emphasize that ‘only the weak and emotionally crip- pled abuse drugs to face life and only he dull and ignor- ant abuse drugs to enjoy life.” He called his talk “The Hidden Sickness,’ which is drug abuse. He said the prescription products most often abused are the amphetamine and barbiturate drugs. Each has a different effect and both are medically useful and im- portant, he added. “Only when these drugs are taken for other than their intended medical pur- poses, or in excessive doses, are there dangers involved in their use,” he said, Drug abuse is not confined to young people, Leahy said, nor is it exclusively a city problem. Drug abusers can be found in any kind of community and from ali walks of life. “The adult abuser of drugs usually has a history of so- cial maladjustment,” he said. “The pressures and demands of society are too much for him to bear. Often he has a background of family dif- ficulties, disciplinary prob- lems in school and trouble with the police. But for the juvenile drug abuser this pattern does not necessarily apply, he said. “A significant fact is that juvenile drug abuse seldom takes place by ones & twos. It is usually in a gang or party sefting. Somebody starts it and everyone else goes along for fear of ap- pearing ‘chicken’.” He was introduced by Ro- tary President Jay Risser.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 1967 Over | The Back Fence By Max Smith ACCORDING to the calendar the early gardens and farm crops should be going into the ground; regardless of pre-J Easter weather conditions, ‘ soon be planting time will here and another growing sea- son about to begin. One word of caution at this time would be for tillers of the soil fo re- frain from working in the soil when it is too wet; this destroys the looseness oi the soil and many have experi- enced the clods and’ soil par- ticles to be hard for the re- mainder of the season. With heavy equipment now being used on many farms it is ev- en more important to stay off the ground until it is dry en- ough; at this time of the year we may, or may not, get suf- ficient freezing to loosen a packed soil. The old ‘squeeze’ test is still a good one: grab a handful of soil, squeeze it, and then roll it along the sur- face of the ground; if it re- mains in a ball, the soil is too wet; if it crumbles, then the ground may be worked and planted. ONE OF the best scientific approaches to managing any piece of ground is to start with a complete soil test; this is true of a lawn, a garden, or a whole farm. Prior to the planting season is the best time to make the test and learn the needs of the soil for any given purpose. This soil test will not only reveal the fertilizer needs but also, the amount of lime need- ed. All of these major ele- ments are essential for a suec- cessful crop. We stress the importance of the soil test at this time of the year and urge every land owner to adopt this method of guidance for lime and fertilizer applica- tions. SEVERAL decades ago one of ley, 35 W. Main St., celebrat- | the early lawn care practices was to roll the lawn early in the spring with a roller part- ly filled with water. The pur- pose was to smooth out the lawn surface and put the soil and the grass roots in closer contact with each other. In recent decades there has been some question about the mer- its of this practice and I am with those who feel there is little to be gained in most in- stances. With an established lawn there should not be any need of pressing the soil and roots together and the surface will become smooth when the frost leaves the ground. In fact there is great danger of too much soil compaction when heavy roller is run over a wel soil. On heavy turf there is greater need for more aeration for more soil com- paction. When establishing a new lawn or turf area, then it is very important to com- pact the soil in order to ob- tain a level area and to main- | tain soil moisture. I'd say to forget the rolling of the lawn this spring and your grass will be as good or better, with other conditions being equal. FERTILIZER placement is 3 very important subject and one that deserves a better un- derstanding by everyone. In the first place, the nitrogen and the potash elements in a fertilizer are caustic to most seeds and plant roots; the phosphorus element will not urn or reduce growth. There- fore, it is important to keep the complete fertilizer away from seeds and roots. In the growing of corn many grow- ers will plow down most of their fertilizer, especially the Present Book To Library The book, “The Human Body,” is being presented this week to the Mount Joy Library center by the Wom- en's Auxiliary to the Lancas- ter County Medical Society. By Sigmund Grollman, the volume is being given to mark Doctor’s Day, which is being observed on Thursday, March 30. The presentation was made by Mrs. Harvey H. Seiple. The idea of devoting one day each year to honoring the medical profession had its origin in Georgia where a housewife, so impressed by the skill, kindness and under- standing of her family physi- cian, decided to do something about bringing national recog- nition to the men of his pro- fession. Her idea became a reality when the U. S. Congress, in 1958, passed a resolution to that effect. County Sports Banquet Slated Approximately 20 coaches and faculty members of Don- egal high school will attend the annual county sports banquet, to be held Thurs- day night, March 30, at Hos- letters. Approximately 300 school- men ‘rom all 17 districts in Lancaster county will be at- ending. Champions in various ath- letic events will be recogniz- ed Dan Beamesderfer will be master of ceremonies. In RO.T.C. Course Charles “Gil” Frank, son of Col. and Mrs. Charles Frank, Fort George Meade, Md. is enrolled at Washing- ton & Lee university, Lex- ing, Va., as a first year stu- dent in the U. S.

Cadet Frank was one of 400 high school graduates a- warded a four-year scholar- ship by the Army for the purpose of participating in | the ROTC program. Scholar- ships were awarded in aca- demic excellence, extracur- ricular activities, physical condition, results of college entrance examination boards, personal qualities, and leader- ship potential. The Army pays the entire tuition, textbook costs and la- boratory fees of those select- ed’ as well as providing them with a $50 monthly allow- ance for four years. After graduation Cadet Frank will be commissioned second lieutenant in the Ar- my. This is the second year of the Army ROTC scholar- ship program in which only the “very best” are selected. ‘Cadet Frank is one of those. Col.
