order. The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved.

Due to the absence of both our
Forethought Committee and our Reader,
We welcomed a volunteer article by
Mary Moore Miller on the Gypsy
Moth. The article was published in the
August 17th copy of the M.C. Sentinel
and warns us to prepare for the coming
of the Gypsy Moth. Mary Moore also
referred to a folder " Look Who's Coming
to dinner", Published by the U. of Md.
Extension Service describing the Gypsy
Moth and recommending ways to
manage this destructive insect.

A discussion of the moth followed the
reading and we agreed that we should
all be on the alert as limited numbers
have already been found in most
counties of Md. We are also disturbed
about the increased number of Japanese
beetles this year - as one member
stated " they're on everything" !
