Surveying To Prevent Typhoid in Buckeystown
Sanitarians from the County Health Department continue a complete survey of Buckeystown water and sewer facilities to prevent typhoid outbreaks. Dr. Forbes H. Burgess said the study covers every residence to trace water sources and sewage handling.

The health official notes the stream contamination risk is low, urges caution, and warns against moving the Francis Scott Key Post picnic to a new site. Over 330 residents have received vaccines and others are being inoculated by physicians.
