depedent, and that damage to one

the other.
"The American Farm Bureau"
Mr.. Wise declared, "is determined
that the violent price fluctus. cions OF
the past must be ruled out, and that
the provisions of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act be made sufficiently
flexible in scope so that the pre-
venetable causes may be eliminated"
In addition to the original prin-
clple looking to the curbing of crop
SURPRISES, the amendments to the act
sponsored by the farm organizations
would provide means also for assur-
ing against crop shortages; expan-
sion of both domestic and foreign
markets; and protection for the con-
sumner against unwarranted price
increases by professors and handlers
of farm products.

Committee Opposes Tax
For Gaithersburg Firemen

A committee representing tax
payers of Gaithersburg, one of
whom was a member of the fire
board, appeared before the Montgom-
cry County commissioners yesterday
to oppose continuance of the fire-area
tax for the support of the Gathers
burg Washington Grove Volunteer
Fire Department.
The committee pointed out that the
law provides that the commissioners
may" levy such a tax and not that
they "shall" levy it. It also declared
that since the fire department is
private corporation, public tax money
should not be used to pay the debts Of
the department and that although the
tax is collected only from residents Of
the Ninth Election District, residents
outside the district without paying
any money receive the same protec-
ton. No action was taken by the
county commissioners.

Farm Bureau Leader Official Says
AAA Amendments Are Of Big Concern
Basic Provisions, However, Untouched By Supreme
Court-Prices Must Be Made Stable, C. E. Wise, Jr,
Declares Consumer Ultimately Affected
By Conditions

While the basic provisions of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act appear
unaffected by the Supreme Courts
ruling last week, agricultural leaders
in Washington as well as in the
State, are working on revisions to
the proposed amendments to bring
them into line with the courts de-
cision.
In statement setting forth some
of the objectives of the pending
legislation, C. E. Wise, Jr., secre-
tary of the Maryland Farm Bureau
Federation, said that although not
generally appreciated, the consumer
has an equal stake with the growers
in the AAA, and that the final out
come is of national concern. The
goal sought through the operation of
the Adjustment Act" Mr.. Wise en-
phasized, ais to secure the benefits of
stable prices, and at level at which
the interchange of goods can be
maintained at its highest level of eff
cheney. No one need longer be told"
he said, "that low prices mean I'M
employment and business stagnation,
and that farm SURPRISES mean low
prices"
The rapid trend towards indus
trialization, Mr.. Wise believes, has
ed to obscure the fact that indus
vial and farm prices are still inter

School Starts A Big
Drive For Old Records

The pupils of the Gaithersburg
High School, yesterday, began to
work for new RCA Victor Duo
Radio-P Photograph combination, to be
used in connection with several
courses. The vote comes as the result
of an offer recently made the school
by the local RCA Victor Distributor
who agreed to install one of the fine
new Duos if the students would col
lect certain number of old Victor
Records, regardless of size, type or
age.
The students will at once begin to
canvass the town, in an effort to COL
lect enough discarded records to win
a 1884 Duo.
Thomas W. Troxell, principal,
states that Duo instrument will be
valuable supplementary equipment in
the teaching of music and other
courses in which educational radio
are useful.
Students will call at the homes of
those likely to have old Victor
records.

Vote To Create
Public Welfare
Board In County
Officials Claim New Department
Controlling Projects Will
Save Money

Creation Of department of pub
Lie welfare to supersede the present
supervisor of county aid in control
OF all county public welfare projects
except the county home was voted
yesterday by the Montgomery County
commissioners.
The department as planned by the
commissioners follows closely the
plan outlined by the committee ON
public welfare in recent report to
the county commissioners. Prac-
tically the only exception is that the
control Of the county home remains
in the hands of the county commits
sioners without action by the depart
ment, and the board will consist OF
seven members instead of five, Is
recommended by the committee.
The welfare committee Robert
Bondy, chairman; Miss EsteIle T.
Moore and Judge Thomas C. Kelley
was appointed by the commission
ers to make thorough survey OF
the county welfare situation and to
make recommendations. It's report
was presented May 2 to the COM
missioners.
The budget for the new depart
ment would amount to approximately
$50, 900, which would represent saw
ing over the amount now appropri-
ated for public welfare work, it is
claimed.
The welfare department will be
supervised by board Of public well
fare, which would be unpaid. One
of the seven members will be- a
county commissioner.
Alexander X. Hancock, county
accountant, was directed to include
provision for the new department
in the county budget and levy. The
board also directed inclusion Of an
assistant county assessor to aid VIII
