Help Provide For
Christmas, Slogan
OF Welfare Council
300 Opportunities Open To
Charitable-Minded Persons
This Year

Helping mothers provide Christina!
for their children is the goal of the
Council" stated DIR. v. L. Ellicott
Montgomery County Social Welfare
chairman, in announcing the organiza-
items program which is handled
through its Holiday Exchange. "We
hope that more than 800 families and
individuals will have the privilege and
thrill of giving enjoyed by those who
are financially able to provide their
Icwn Christmas"
Because Christmas is of all seasons
IA family time gifts donated will be
turned over in advance to parents and
guardians who will not be denied the
joy of planning for their families.
Donors will be twice generous accord
ing to the plan worked out by the
Social Welfare Council. In giving to
families to whom Christmas would
otherwise be only Saturday they are
at the same time strengthening fam
ily ties. By having the program CEN
tered in the Holiday Exchange rather
than conducted by number of indie
pendent organizations it will be pos
sible to avoid duplication in giving
and overlooking some families.
Social agencies and schools have
registered more than 800 opportunities
for Christmas giving with the Holiday
Exchange. All have been investigated
by social workers, nurses, or teachers,
who have described special needs and
long-felt yearnings, which range from
a single bed for an invalid, who should
sleep alone, to a. guitar for a girlfwho
longs for one of her own to play. A
little pocket money for high school
students who have been debarred from
taking part in school activities cloth
ing that is whole and looks Ike that
worn by the other kids, sleds, a toy
telephone, and tap dancing lessons are
among the opportunities listed.
The Holiday Exchange, sponsored
by the Montgomery County Social
Welfare Council, was developed by a
committee representing the Social
Service League, the Montgomery
County Welfare Board, the Health
Department, Juvenile Court, Super
visor of County Aid, the schools, and
the Social Service Service Exchange.

vile operator and asking for the
Holiday Exchange or by addressing it

that moneys asked from the State

The agricultural department of the

Maryland poultry raisers suffer an

Mayor BlandfOrd
Answers Report
3. OF Local Slu1ns
Criticises Statement On Monkey
Run; Says Matter Could
Have Been Helped

Mayor Douglas M. Blandford and
other members of the Rockville Town
Council have criticised the statement
in the current report of the Mont
gomery County Welfare Board re-
garding the Monkey Run slum condi-
lions.
Miss Lavinia Engle, retiring chair
man of the Welfare Board, deplored
the housing conditions existing in
Monkey Run, Kengar and Snakes Den.
She said many social maladjustments
relate back to these housing condi.
tons. Show much longer will we
tolerate these conditions Miss
Engle inquiries.
Mayor Blandford pointed out this
week that plan had been offered a
year or two ago whereby Monkey Run
could have been eliminated. The plan
was to remove the settlement to
Lincoln Park. 1t was turned down by
Miss Engle and others representing
the housing officials because, as the
mayor stated, the site was deemed too
flat. The officials favored a location
adjacent to West End Park which was
vetoed by gathering of citizens at
a public meeting. The mayor accuses
Miss Engle and others of failure to
extend the proper cooperation which,
he says, would have easily solved a
most serious problem.
However, the situation still exists
and The Sentinel knows of no immed-
late move to remedy the matter.
