Tigert Explains
Pay For Play

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-DetallS
of the subsidy plan" for foot
ball players, which has been
adopted by the Southeastern Con-
ference. may be revealed today
when John j. Tigert, president of
the University of Florida and of
the Southeastern Conference, ad-
dresses the National Collegiate
Athletic Association.
Southern football men, attend
ing the association meeting here,
have Studiously avoided comment
on the plan.
Only Approves Control
The first mention of it was
made last night by Herman j..
Stegeman, athletic director of the
University of Georgia.
Stegeman said the impression
held in the North that the con-
ference favored open recruiting of
gridiron players was false. The
conference, he declared, does not
favor recruiting, but approves OF
the controlling of athletic scholar
ships. Stegeman explained:
I'VE recognize that athletic
scholarships exist but we want
them brought out into the open.
We are definitely against sub
rosa scholarships by unaffiliated
alumni. Under the new system
all athletic scholarships must
be controlled and administered
directly by the university. The
awards will be only for tuition,
books, etc. There will be no
more buying clothes and giving
spending money to athletes.
lessons OLD EVILS
eve admit the old evils still
can exist under this arrange
ment but we believe they will be
materially leSSened."

ID. A. DeLashmutt
Leads Red Cross
Call This Year
Former Judge And Active Civic
Worker Of Rockville Picked
To Head Committee

Mrs. William Wight, Chairman of
the Montgomery County Chapter of
the American Red Cross has announc-
ed that Donald Ayers DeLashmutt,
former Police Judge, will conduct the
Roll Call this Year.
Judge DeLashmutt has been active
in the affairs of the County since
1922. He is a resident of Rockville.
Past President of the Chamber of
Commerce. He is a Director of the
Social Service League and a member
of the Advisory Committee of the
Welfare Board Mrs. Wight said in
making the announcement Judge De-
Lashmutt is experienced and enthus-
iastic over the assignment. The re-
Spouse to the Roll call is assured"
In the absence of Mr.. J. Summer
vile Dawson, Mrs. Wight, the
County Chairman, presided at a meet
ing of the Nursing Committee in the
Rockville High School Building at
2:30 P. M. October 18th. Mrs. Chester
Slack, of Silver Spring was presented
as new member. The committee
acknowledged gift of two hundred
dollars from the Bethesda Branch by
its Chairman, Mrs. Elliott Middleton.
Mrs. Roger Whiteford of the Chevy
Chase Branch reported that she had a
promise of a similar amount from her
Branch. She stated it was the desire
that this amount be used to pay the
balance on the Nurses new car.
1T was decided to ask the Silver
Spring Branch to make contribu-
ton. The Treasurer reported a de-
felt of one hundred and fifty dollars
for the whole county and the balance
of the meeting was devoted to dis
cussing ways and means of carrying
on this work. Mrs. Wright empha-
sized that this service must be car
ried on, that its progress had been
rapid that to even curtail its activ-
tiles would be to take from the less
able people of the County real need.
The visiting Nurse is available for
bedside nursing to every one in
Montgomery County. A simple call to
Rockville IA between 8:36 and $3.50 A.
M, and at all other time to Rockville
444W. Mrs. J. S. Dawson or Rockville
27-R Mrs. Frank Marshall would get
immediate response. The Nurses fee
is ordinarily one dollar, but Mrs.
Wight stressed that she is available
to all, either on full or part pay or
entirely free for those not able to
pay.

Commissioners Ask
Additional Levy On
Suburban Taxes
Metropolitan Area To Be
Assessed II Cents Per 500
For Automobiles

An additional tax of II cents per
500 of valuation of automobiles in
the suburban area of Montgomery
County was ordered Tuesday by the
county commissioners. This levy has
been authorized for several years but
never has been collected.
The proceeds of the tax will go
to the Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission and the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, 10 cents of the scale
to the former and the remaining 7
cents to the latter.
This same 17-cent tax on other
personal property has been collected
before, but collections were not made
for automobiles because it was
thought that costs would be high be-
cause hire of additional clerks would
be necessary. The county treasurer's
office now has sufficient workers.
It was estimated that about $4,000
tax bills will have to be rewritten in
order to get the new tax in collecti-
BILE shape. The bills must be mailed
before December /.

New Regulations
For Raising Hogs
In County Passed
Farmers In Rural Areas Not
Affected By Recent Ruling
OF Commissioners

The County Commissioners Tuesday
repealed the existing hog farm reg
ulations and passed new rules gov
erning the situation. These new regu-
lations go into effect in about one
months time.
The County Health Department
says:
apparently there has been some
fear that the new regulations will
effect farmers in rural areas. This is
not the case. First of all, the regula-
tions apply only to the Suburban
Area (The Maryland Washington
Metropolitan District); in the second
place they affect only hog pens locat-
ed nearer than one-half az mile to
a public highway or one-fourth (A)
mile to house or other dwelling. If
the pen is within either of these dis
tances permit from the County
Commissioners is required and citi-
zens are given an opportunity to OBJ
ject to the permit.
"The new regulations differ from
the old in that they apply to small
hog pens as well as large. The old
regulations applied only to pens hav-
ing eighteen or more pigs. The new
ones apply to pens having one or
more hogs.
GAS soon as the regulations become
a law, the Health Department will
publish list Of the applications for
permits and it is hoped that anyone
Directing to permit will promptly
write to the Health Department. 1t
will, in fact, facilitate the issuance of
permits if any objections to particular
hog pens are sent in now"

The route, which is understood to
have the temporary approval of the
States Roads Commission, would cross
the railroad by way of an overhead
bridge nearly opposite the Reed
Brothers Garage and just East of the
Baltimore Road and connecting with
the Viers Mill Road. The other sug-
gested route and one which meets
with the approval of many leading
business men and citizens, would
cross under the railroad above the
present passenger station and con-
verge at Commerce Lane just west of
the Rockville Motor Co., with the
main street of the town. Many argu-
NETS in favor of both routes have
been advanced and the meeting Mon
day night has been called in order to
reach the true sentiment of the peo-
pie of Rockville in regard to the mat
ter. Everyone will be given an oppor-
tunity to be heard.
Agitation for the elimination of the
present crossing or some reasonable
substitute for the existing situation
had been pushed by local taxpayers
and citizens even prior to the terrible
tragedy which took the lives of IA
school children of WiIliamsport just a
few months ago. The Rockville grade
crossing has been a dangerous one
and several bad accidents have &C.
CURED at this point. 1t is the belief
of county, State and railroad officials
that an additional route crossing or
going under the railroad will divert
enough traffic to make the present
crossing safe.
It is particularly argued for the
underpass route connecting with
Commerce Lane that traffic may di-
verge into three channels at the
heart of town. One channel would lead
motorists to Gaithersburg and Fred
erick; the other would take cars
directly west to Jamestown, Pooles-
vile and other western county COM
munities; the third would take care Of
motorists desiring to turn back TO
Bethesda and Washington.
Those in favor of the overhead
bridge route say that too much traffic
would longest at the intersection Of
Commerce lane and Montgomery ave-
nues. They maintain that the bulk
of the traffic entering Rockville should
come up Montgomery avenue.
Mayor Blandford and other MEM
bers of the Town Council, as well as
prominent county officials have stated
that they believe the people Of Rock
vile should decide the matter Of a
new crossing themselves, without re-
gard to any political or selfish motive.
