Rift Threatened

Department Here
Rockville Fire Officials Refuse
To Answer Questions On
Rumored Split

For ten years the Rockville Volun-
teer Fire Department has been serv-
ing a wide area in Montgomery
County and not once in this long
period has any real break occurred in
the peace and harmony of the orga-
nization. Runlor has it, however, that
at last such break may come at any
time. Critical observers tell us that,
although, on the surface all is as it
should be, nevertheless, there is a
growing opposition among the mem
beers over some question as yet not
disclosed to the public. An interview
with President VIM. Fl Prettymar
and Chief Valentine wilson brought
only evasions of the question and
leads US to conclude that there must
be something in these reports which
have slipped out in spite of the very
apparent effort at secrecy.
During the past few days there
have been more than the usual num-
Der of men gathered about the De-
partment building. Meeting in small
groups they discuss some question
with subdued voices and much gestur-
ing. There can be no doubt that there
is some unusual matter under discus
sion for the air of opposition and ten
sion among the members is too APP
parent to be denied. Officials of the
department have promised a. state
ment soon.

Truck Bill Permits
Motorists To Buy
Plates Quarterly
Auto Owners To Benefit BY
Law Which Became Effective
Last Wednesday

Governor Richie affixed his sig
nature last week to the truck bill
and the law went into effect on
April %. A provision in the bill
allows passenger cars to be licensed
quarterly.
Officials Of the State Roads Com
mission went into conference last
week. over the truck regulation bill,
which may cost the State $4,000
annually out of an estimated revenue
of 81, 100000 because it permits auto
tags, to be purchased quarterly.
A report by the Automobile Club
of Maryland revealed last Tuesday
that passenger cars had been included
in the classification of vehicles that
could be licensed quarterly. Conse-
gently, motorists who did not want
to operate their machines in the win
ter could take out licenses on April
/ instead of at the first of the year.
At the end of the summer the
driver could obtain a refund if he
Wanted to store his car during the
fall and winter.
The State might also suffer from
decreased gasoline tax revenue
resulting from less use of machines
by some drivers. Since the truck
bill was intended as revenue meas.
ure State officials do not like the
idea of losing $4,000 in revenue
because of the provision revealed
yesterday
An official however, pionted out
that it Is impossible to estimate
accurately the number Of motorist!
who would be inclined to store theil
cars for part of the year. Steady
drivers, it was explained, are likely
to seek refunds only as a last re
sort to save money, and the tota'
loss to the State might be much
less than the estimated $4,000.

ance and opponents of the Ubiquitous

and we wish to point out further that
all responsibility for the breaking
down of our 51-year-old local option

Dental Examinations For
Elementary Children Now
Being Conducted In Md.

With the idea of finding out what is
most needed in the way of dental care
for children throughout the country,
dental examinations are being made
of children in the elementary schools
all over the United States. The sur
vey is being carried on under the
auspices of the American Dental
Association, with the approval OF the
u. S. Public Health Service; of State
and city Departments of Health and
of Education, and of State and local
dental organizations.
The work is being done in each
State under the direction of State or
local branches of the American Dental
Association. To large extent the ex-
aminations are being made by dentists
engaged in private practice. In some
instances the work is being done by
the school dentists.
DIR. Richard C. Leonard, Chief OF
the Division of Oral Hygiene Of the
State Department of Health who is in
charge of the dental survey in the
elementary schools in the counties OF
Maryland, said: "The study that is be-
ing made of dental conditions-that is
of mouth health-of the children
throughout the country, is similar To
studies that have been made Of other
phases of child health. The purpose
is to find out all that can be learned
about conditions as they actually are
and to use this information as the
basis of the dental work carried on In
the schools and elsewhere.
Careful records are being kept IL
each State, and through the exchange
of this information it is hoped that a
great deal can be done, that will have
a direct bearing upon the health Of the
children.
"a report of the results of the ex'
animation will be sent to the parents.
