Sandy Spring Asks
Commissioners Aid
On ZOning Measure
More Complete Police Protec-
ton Desired-Other Improve
ments Sought

The Community Council of Sandy
Spring, at the last meeting recon-
mended that the county commissioners
be vested with authority to zone areas
outside Of the metropolitan district
and pointed out that the property
owner should be entitled to protection
ngainst undesirable building enter
prises outside Of these restricted Sec
tions..
The question of establishing q
police substation and police justice in
the Sandy Spring district was present
ed by Maurice Stabler. After a general
discussion it was decided that the
costs involved might be too great at
this time.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the county commissioners,
however, with the idea in mind of
securing more complete police protec-
ton until a substation can be estab-
lished.
A review of the school construction
program proposed by the Montgomery
County Civic Federation was offered by
G. Rust Candy, a member of the
Federation's school committee.
The committee on roads reported
that representatives of the State
Roads Commission had promised to
improve a number of the culverts in
the neighborhood and that permits had
been obtained to enlarge the curve on
the north intersection of the cross
roads at Ashton, at the same time
setting back the electric power poles
at that point.
The council endorsed the action of
the Izaak Walton League supporting
the bill which prohibits the sale of
black bass.
acquisitions for the material for the
grade changes at the fire house on
the meeting house road have been
issued and the work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible, the council was in
formed.

WILLIAM E. MORGAN

It is customary to euogize the deceased and
poor indeed is that of whom little be written
But eulogy being established by custom it becomes
somewhat difficult to give proper and merited ex-
preston in unusual case Such is our dilemma in
feeble effort to give proper expression of
feeling (and the communitys feeng) in the passing
of Mr.. William E. ("Lovey") Morgan. The great
and neargreat pass along and the measure of their
prominence determines the number and length Of
eulogies.
Without trying to classify Mr. Morgan by his
worldly accomplishments let's try to picture him
an asset to the community. Ever exuding goodwill
and seldom without smile he beloved by
all who knew him. If there lived a in
Montgomery County who had more friends and fewer
enemies than "Lovey" Morgan his is unknown
to If mans worth is measured by the reputa-
ton he bears in his community then Mr.. Morgan
will go down in history of our greatest
citizens. Honest to the he demanded strict
honesty in others and never hestated to condemn
the slightest infraction of moral ethics.
Born nearly three-quarters of century ago he
spent his entire life in Rockville and he as much
at home with the modern boys and girls he
with his passing generation.
To have known him intimately and to have
enjoyed the buoyancy of his association priv
lege To write of him in the past tense is tragicaly
depressing. To realize that he is gone from among
us is difficult To adequately express feeling is
impossible. To say that we loved, revered and
spected him is very mildly expressing feeling.
The death of Mr.. Morgan is distinct loss to Rock
vile and Montgomery County.

William E. Morgan
Expires Suddenly
From Heart Attack
Funeral Rites Tomorrow For
One Of Montgomery County's
Leading Citizens

William f. Morgan, one of the best
known citizens of Rockville, died sud-
denly at his home on Tuesday night
of this week. Death was caused by a
heart attack Mr.. Morgan had suffer-
ed from severe attacks for several
years but had apparently grown
stronger in recent months. On Monday
and Tuesday of this week he was un-
usually active and bright and Tues
day evening went with Mrs. Morgan,
to visit an ill relative. He was taken
suddenly ill shortly after midnight
and while Mrs. Morgan was in another
part of the house preparing him some
medicine he fell dead to the floor.
Born in Rockville on February 10,
1861, Mr.. Morgan spent his entire life
as resident Of the County Seat. At
an early age he was employed by
Brewer and Almoney, publishers of
the old Montgomery Advocate and
remained as its foreman until its sale
in 1926. The sale of the paper was
made due to the i'll health of Mr..
Morgan. Following the Advocates
acquisition by P. G. Stromberg Mr..
Morgan continued with the new owner
in an advisory capacity and remained
for a time as Rockville representative
of the Maryland News following the
merging Of that paper with the News
Advocate in 1927. At the time Of his
death he was again in newspaper work
having become associated with The
Montgomery Sentinel after its pur-
chase from the r. G. Fields estate by
p. G.. Stromberg. In addition to his
newspaper work Mr.. Morgan was one
of the leading auctioneers Of the
county having made the county tax
sales for number of years and hav-
ing sold many farms and homes in the
county in his many years experience.
Despite his heart affection few men
live to the ripe age of seventy-two and
remain as physically fit and mentally
alert as Mr.. Morgan. His lively step,
erect posture and keen mind made him
the subject of much comment among
his many friends.
An unusual man in many respects,
Mr.. Morgan known affectionately
throughout Montgomery County as
'Lovey"), enjoyed close acquaint-
ance with as many local people as any
man of the present generation. Pos
sessed of most affable disposition he
was the friend of old and young, white
and black, rich and poor. Democrat and
Republic. He was lifelong Demo-
crat and often boosted of his consis-
tency as an Organization man.
Besides his widow he leaves one
daughter, Mrs. Charles C. Allies, Of
Chevy Chase.
Funeral services will be conducted
at st. Mary's Catholic Church, Rock
vile, on Friday morning at ten o'clock
Services will be conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. Charles r. O'Hara. Burial

Mary Denies Plan
For Mexican Suit
To Free Doug

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 10 d.N.S)
81 am very much surprised
at such a report, for 1 am not
planning a divorce"
This was the only comment
today of Mary Pickford, famous
motion picture actress, on a re
port emanating from FL Paso
Texas, that Americas Sweet
heart" planned to obtain a Mexi
can decree from Douglas Fair
banks.
Furthermore it was learned
that if Miss Pickford decides to
divorce Fairbanks, who has been
in London several months, she
would move to obtain a decree
in California.
Statement Still Stands
At the time she revealed the
marital rift with Fairbanks, noted
screen actor, Miss Pickford made
such an assertion herself. A
friend said:
"Her statement still stands"
It was pointed out here that
Miss Pickford has large property
interests in California and that
in order to safeguard against any
future question concering these
interests, she would be unlikely
to take any steps Of a legal ma
G,,ro thu Cfofn
Her divorce from owen Moore
was secured in Nevada and a long
and costly legal fight followed
before she established the validity
Of that decree.
While no inkling has leaked out
from behind the scenes on what
is taking place, it was regarded
as probable in Hollywood today
that some steps may be under way
to define precisely the property
interests Of Miss Pickford and her
husband.
Pickfair Off Market
The fact that Pickfair has been
taken off the market was taken
Ill SOI11G QUd1 OC4 . w NOA44 IL AA V4A4S'
However, it was pointed out
that the private fortunes OF Miss
Pickford and her husband were
held separately prior to their
estrangement.
Their business interests like
wise were conducted separately
and it was not believed any great
amount of adjustment would be
necessary to effect a complete
property settlement if one became
necessary.
At the time of the estrangement
it was learned that any move to-
ward divorce would be up to Fair
banks. In other words, Miss Pick
ford was prepared to secure de-
cree if he indicated he desired his
freedom. What, if any, move has
been made by Fairbanks remained
undisclosed today. a.
