167 Old Age Pensions Granted
In County BY Welfare Board
81 Married Couples Beneft-Oldest Pensioner Is 81,
Born In Tyler's Administration Advisory Board
Work Is Taken Over

The Montgomery County Welfare
Board is busy in the behalf of the
needy of the county and the moisthly
bulletin of the board has many in
teresting items to be considered. The
bulletin, edited by Alice w. Hostetler
records many true accounts which, at
the same time, are almost fictional
in their reader appeal. But then, they
say Truth is Stranger than Fiction. -
Of the 81 married couples benefit
ting from the Social Security Act, 19
have celebrated their golden wedding
anniversaries. Five were married
more than 55 years. One pair "got
hitched" SO years ago.
The oldest pensioner is "a. She was,
of course, born in President Tyler's
administration, before the first tele-
graph was in use.
. 1t looks like women live longer. Ac-
cording to the report, twenty of the
women have passed the 80th mile
stone; only Is men have lived that
long. A couple were separated after
AT years. At 65, the lady of the house
went to the city to seek employment.
Now she is back home.
The following pertient paragraphs
are well worthy of consideration by
everyone:
The MCWB has been busy this
month taking over the work of the
Advisory Board of the County Com
missioners. Families who were under
the care of that Board now will bene-
fit by the Aid of Dependent Children
funds, Old Age Pensions, Blind Pen
siesI and General Public Assistance
Funds. This will increase the number
of persons who receive financial help
and service through the MCWB.
This is vacation time for Commun-
ity Councils. There will not be any
meetings during July, August and
possibly September, of the groups
who have given so much time and
constructive thought to the problems
of the men, women and children in
their neighborhoods. 1t is hoped that
everyone who has been helping the
MCWB and who has any information
which should be passed on will keep
in touch with us.
We can always be reached here in
the Old Court House in Rockville.

see us. We need you.

Policemen Shifted
By Chief Garrett
To Offset Expense
Transfer Made To Help Keep
Tax Rate Within $1.5O Set
In Annual Budget

Shifting of approximately half Of
Montgomery County's police force
was announced Monday by Chief Of
Police J. VIM. Garrett. The trans
fers are made in an effort to mini
mize the reduction in travel allowance
ordered by the Montgomery County
Commissioners.
In their efforts to keep the county
tax rate at $1.50 per 500, the county
commissioners slashed the allowances
for travel, uniforms, telephones and
other equipment to $500 year per
man ordered that police cars be APP
portioned to the sub-stations and that
no men, even commanding officers Of
the substations, should have cars
furnished by the county any more.
The changes in station and shift
were what amounted to reduction in
pay for the force. A movement for in~
crease of pay of policemen has been
started by several civic groups and is
expected to reach head in the fall
when Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton resumes meetings. A commit
tee of the federation is making q
survey Of the entire law enforcement
situation in the county and members
of the committee have expressed
amazement at the long hours and low
pay of the county police.
The policemen transferred are
Corpl. Oscar Gather, from Silver
Spring to Bethesda; Policeman Wind
sor Poole, from Takoma Park to Be
thesda; Corpl. Harry Merson and
Policeman Roscoe Purdum, from Be-
thesda to Silver Spring, and Police
man Alton Harding, from Silver
Spring to Takoma Park. The other
changes are merely within the shifts
in the same precincts.

P. A. The number of pieces, 1929, in
itself would be remarkable except for
the fact that instruction in sewing,
and the quality of the work done are
considered more important detectives
of the program. The sponsors have
set up the work not only to provide
wages for women who need them and
clothes to distribute to those receiv-
ing help from the MCWB, but also to
afford an opportunity to learn sew
ing according to modern workroom
standards. This last has double-bar-
relied purpose. Some of the women
may be able to earn their living by
sewing; all will be more efficient
housewives for it.
Our staff reports that the gardens
which we are promoting this year for
our families are getting along fam
ously. We are now making plans for
canning lessons under the guidance
of Miss Edythe Turner, Home Dem
onstration Agent.

Dogs Playing Havoc
With Hogs and Sheep

The police are trying to run
down dogs which have been killing
hoks and sheep in Montgomery
County. At the same time they
are making drive on owners of
unlicensed CANNES who have failed
to pay the fee for 1886.
M. F. Frazier, of Montrose, re-
ports the loss of two shoats
weighing about 60 pounds apiece.
Mr.. Frazier laid in wait the other
night and saw big police dog
enter the hog lot. He could not
get a good shot at the marauder.
Mr.. Frazier values his pigs at
$500.
: Ulysses Griffith, 18th, of Lay
louisville District, has been both
cred with dogs in his sheep. Ac-
cording to police, there seems to
be an epidemic of killing to be
rightly laid at the door of careless
dog-owners who either neglect
their pets or deliberately permit
their running at large without
proper feeding at home.

Nice Refuses To
Grant Pardon To
Lyddane Witness
Only Resort Left For BOland's
Freedom Is Parole; David
Lee Wants Out

After conference with James H.
Pugh, States Attorney for Mont
gomery county, Governor Nice We'd
nesday declared he would not consid-
er pardon for John Boland, who was
convicted last year at Rockville of
conspiracy with Mrs. Anne Lyddane
to murder her husband.
The Governor suggested that any
move to obtain leniency for Boland
should be made in the usual parole
channels, but added that he would not
take action, even on parole petition,
without recommendations from the
judges and the States Attorney.
Mr.. Pugh took up the subject of an
unconditional pardon for Boland as a
result of the acquittal of Mrs. Lyd-
dane on similar charges and the i'm
munity granted to second man for
turning States witness.
Announcement also was made that
David Lee, Washington newspaper re-
porter, who is serving a ninety-day
sentence for contempt of court at the
Lyddane trial, had applied for parole
Lee and another reporter were SEN
fenced by the Circuit Court for Mont
gomery county on charges they had
aided their paper in publishing a de-
cision before it had been announced
by the court and while another trial
was being held in the same case.

Resigns Post AS
State Secretary
E. Ray Jones Named By Gov.
Nice; Other Appointees
Selected

Gov. Harry w. Nice has accepted
the resignation of Thomas L. Dawson,
of Rockville, as secretary of State.

than "a hours after Dawson was ac-
quilted on charges of driving while
drunk and convicted of reckless driv-
ing.
Gov. Nice said he had appointed
E. Ray Jones, Garrett County attor-
ney, as secretary of State. He also
announced the appointment Of DR..
Charles S. Warner, commissioner OF

the State industrial accident commits
sion. Henry Lay Duer, secretary OF
the defunct milk control board, was
appointed to succeed DR.. Warner.
The Governors formal statement
of the changes did not mention the
charges against Dawson, but said the
Montgomery County man was resign
ing because of the pressure of bust
ness. The statement also lauded the
standing. of Jones. The paragraph
dealing with the secretary's post
said:
81 have appointed Mr.. E. Ray Jones
one of the leading members OF the
Garrett County bar, as secretary OF
state, vice Mr.. Thomas L. Dawson,
whose resignation I have reluctantly
accepted, but whose private practice
has become sufficiently pressing as to
necessitate his abandonment OF
official duties incident to the office OF
secretary of state. Mr.. Jones is not
only lawyer, but he is a gentleman
whose standing in western Maryland
is of such nature as to make his
appointment decided asset to my
administration"
