improved. The Resolution as adopted
at the last meeting of the club reads
as follows:
WHEREAS, it has been brought to
the attention of the Rockville Rotary
Club that the Mayor and General
Council of Rockville has recently
passed a resolution directing the at
tention of the State Roads Commits
sion and the Committee authorized to
act under the recent Federal Aid Act,
drawing their attention to the follow
ing facts: First: That the Roads now
connecting the County Seats of Ale
gany, Washington, Frederick, How
ard and Baltimore Counties are to be
improved so as to make them boule-
ward roads and also that bridge is
contemplated over the Potomac River,
and
WHEREAS, the road connecting
the County Seats of Allegany, Wash
ington, Frederick and Montgomery
Counties is the natural and direct
road to the Nations Capital, is now
part of the National Highway Sys-
tenn, leading by many sites and places
of historic interest and has been from
the earliest times the way travelled
by the nations victorious armies and
by its men of note; and
WHEREAS, that section of this
highway between the County Seat of
Montgomery County and the National
Capital has recently been improved
and made into one of the LOWEST bou-
levards in the East; and
WHEREAS, the road connecting
the County Seats of Howard and
Montgomery Counties on to the Great
Falls of the Potomac, the one bit of
scenic beauty near the National Cap
ital, and thence by a bridge across
the Potomac, would furnish a con-
venient and beautiful route through
this State between the North and
South; and
WHEREAS, the improvement of
the first mentioned highway West of
Rockville would be a logical continu-
alton of the improvement already
completed by its Eastern portion;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved
that the Rockville Rotary Club most
heartily endorses the Resolution of
the Mayor and Council of Rockville
and wish to express to those having
authority to disburse funds furnished
by the Federal Government and make
plans for this purpose that we feel
that if this present route should not
be improved in like manner as the
roadways connecting the County Seats
to the West that this would be a de-
cided discrimination against the peo-
pie of Rockville and those living be-
tween Rockville and Frederick and we
further request that this road and
these people be given due considera-
ton in any project of road building.
AND be it further resolved that a
copy of this Resolution be sent to
the State Roads Commission, to the
Hon. D. J. Lewis and each member of
his committee for this Congressional
District.

CLOSER KNIT NATION SEEN BY LEADER
Izetta Jewel Miller
Gives Full Credit
to New Deal"

Public works activities, with
the primary object of stimulating
employment and circulating
money, are doing something else.
Establishing a contact between
small villages and the Federal
Government that never existed
before.
This statement was made TO-
day by Mrs. Izetta Jewel MiAer,
one-time leading lady in the Poll
Theater stock company and now
commissioner of the department
of public welfare in Schenectady,
N. Y.
Mrs. Miller is in Washington

change wrought by the Public
Works Administration. She was
travelling throughout Missouri
with her husband, Col. Hugh Mil
Ter, who recently was named State
engineer there for the Public
Works Administration.
Sees Villages Grow
Through the activities of the
PWA, Mrs. Miller said, the smaller
villages of the country, which once
looked to the Federal Government
as the "big father" never to be
approached, now have direct con-
tact with the "big father" She
continued:
cit is unifying this country
e. never has been unified be-
