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.

The
Back
Fence

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-

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.
