$1OD,0D0PROBLEM
FACED BY COUNTY
Board Must Increase BUDGET
but Would Keep Tax
Rate at $3.50.
B, Stan Correspondent OF The Star.


ROCKVILLE, Md. May 20.-The
Montgomery County Board of Com
missioners went into executive session
today to discuss ways and means OF
providing another 100000 for the
county budget for the next fiscal year
without raising the tax rate.
Several commissioners have declared
unequivocally against any increases in
the tax rate, raised to $l.5O per 500
valuation in 1885, but have expressed
themselves favorable to specific budget
increases, explaining that increased
revenues should result from new
properties being placed on the tax
rolls during the year
The largest increase is expected to
be in the school budget, ranging from
about 100000 to Sll5,00O, depending
on the outcome Of suit by colored
teachers for pay equal to that Of white
teachers.
Police Pay Raises.
A $4,000 boost in the police budget
to provide $25 month pay increase
for county officers is another item to
be considered, while the health de-
partment is asking $4,000 more, and
the department of public assistance
for about $1,000 more than last year.
Other items in the budget are expected
to remain about the same as last
year
No indication has come from school
officials as to what the recommended
tons of the School Board will be, but
it has been estimated that about
s25, 900 will be needed for new teach
ers to accommodate increased enroll
ment. Another $4,000 will be needed
! to take care OF the normal salary
increment, restored two years ago.
In addition to this Sal 900 which
the School Board will be forced to
recommend. and the County Board to
grant, another $37,7o0 is expected to
be asked to provide 500 annual
increase for white teachers In line
with policy of bringing salaries of
county teachers closer to the scale
paid in the District, the Montgomery
County Civic Federation and the
Montgomery County Teachers Asso-
citation have urged the 500 annual
increase. and it is expected the
School Board will ask for it in its
budget, bringing the total to s78,7 700
above the s6l2,772 salary list of the
current year.
COlored TeacherS' Suif
Another problem facing the COM
missioners is that Of the colored
teachers suit. They are paid on a
scale approximately 60 per cent Of
| the white teachers. If they win their
suit for the same pay as white teach
ers, another $4,000 will be added to
the budget, and an additional $500
| II the 500 annual increase is applied
to colored as we'll as white teachers, a
| total of sl15,0OO.
The $25-a-month pay raise for
county policemen, which would mean
approximately $4,000 more for the
commissioners to finance, would bring
the police budget back to the esti-
mate of two years ago. The board cut
about the same amount from the
police budget last year by discontinue
ing the allowances previously allowed

ciety. In the long run, however, it is
expected that paying physicians for
services will effect a saving to the
county. Under The present system,
patients receiving public assistance
are sent to the Montgomery County
General Hospital at Sandy Spring,
where the expense is met by the
county and State. If the physicians
are paid outright, most Of the patients
could be treated in their homes, saw
ing the hospital expense.
Estimates of increase in revenues
were not available today, but one
commissioner estimated that s2,OOO,-
600 has been added to the tax rolls
since the tax rate was set last year.
With increases in some other revenues
such as the liquor tax, 1t is not ex-
pected that a higher TAX rate will be
needed.

Rotary Christmas Party
Proves Enjoyable Event.

The annual Christmas party of the
Ely Rotary Club took place at the last
meeting of the club at the Forest Hotel
and was an enjoyable affair.
A 100 per cent attendance was pres
ent and after most appetizing dinner
served by Host Rikhus, the gifts were
opened and the accompanying (alleged)
poetry read.
The reading was done by Secretary
Ed Bolitho. Some of the illusions
showed excellent meter and rhythm
and promised budding poets among the
Rotarians. AS there were no names at
tached it was hard to give credit where
due.
The rule had been made that the gifts
were to cost no more than Is cents
each. Some of the poetry furnished
by the amateur Guests and Mallochs
however, were of more value than the
gifts and created much laughter and
good feeling.
Rotarian Gunderson from Tower had
brought his son and son-in-law to the
party and Bill Moves was accompanied
by Cliff Miller of ST. Cloud who is home
here over the holidays Bill Kendrick
was a guest of Wilson Carlson All
the guests were given gifts.

Three Cheerful Facts
Cited on Cancer GrOlUth.

There are cheerful aspects to the
cancer problem. These are the as
poets that members of the committee
on public health education of the Min
nesota State Medical association en-
phasize in their bulletin on the SUBJ
ject today.
The first is that cancer is the only
degenerative disease of middle life and
old age that can be cured. Diseases of
the heart and circulatory system can
be controlled; but they are never really
cured. If cancerous growth is dis
covered early, before it grows TO such
a size that it is impossible to remove
it successfully and before any malig-
nant cells from the growth have
escaped through the blood stream to
set up new growthS in other parts of
the body, it can be completely and per-
manently cured.
Reliable figures show that approx
mately 80 per cent of all cancers can
be cured if they are removed in time
or properly treated by x-rays and
radium.
The second is that cancer does not,
as a general rule, develop suddenly IN
previously normal tissue. Nearly al
ways it develops slowly in tissues that
are already altered by inflammation
and disease. Many cancers can be
avoided altogether by avoidance of un-
clean, inflamed or diseased conditions
on the surface and in the internal
organs of the body.
The third fact cited in the bulletin
is that cancer cannot be transferred
from one person to another. 1t is in
no wise catching"

GrolUing Up With Your Child
University of Minnesota, Institute of Child Welfare

today is of necessity very different
thing from the home life which they
remember, and unconsciously try to re-
produce. Meeting changing family
needs in a world SO rapidly on the move
as the one We live in today means that
the older members of the family must
be wide awake indeed if they are to
make sensible, sane adjustment
Last, each mother must remember
that she is a person, with needs and
rights of her own. If she becomes Sc
much engrossed with the pressing af-
fairs of her children and their needs as
to forget this, she will be short-sighted
For nothing forms a more solid basis
for really enduring family enjoyment
than continued flexibility, growth and
change, and the mother who becomes
overly concerned with making hel
children happy is unlikely to have
much time left for mental stimulation

FAMILY CELEBRATIONS.

Family celebrations can be beautiful
and absorbing tradition in childhood,
their familiar rites looked forward to
and planned for beforehand and
laughed about for weeks afterward.
But when children are old enough to
want to try their wings alone, the old
customs may seem trite and empty if
they do not grow to fit changing needs
Better to work out new plan, than to
risk having what should be joyous oc-
casions turn into boresome routines,
with only the must" of duty to bind
them together.
The period during which children are
growing out of their dependence on
their families to furnish entertainment
and good times for them is hard one
for parents. After having for long, de-
voted years built up habits of life in
which thoughts of their children always
come first, it is like trying to get along
without an arm or leg to do without a
child who has been so close as to seem
almost like an appendage. Thousands
and thousands of women each year are
doing their best to reconstruct the pat
tern of their lives, disrupted and torn
by the exodus of their children from
home. They are joked about for flock
ing to hear lectures on cart in the
Arctic" or Men against the Moon" but
who can blame them for turning to the
first thing that offers when the absorb
ing interests of lifetime are suddenly
snatched from their hands?
There are three things that it seems
to me are important for mothers of
adolescent children to consider, with
relation to the exciting and arduous
career of motherhood. First of all, jolts
like the ones suffered when children
calmly assume it is quite all right for
them to leave the family celebration
for a party with their friends will be
fewer and less painful if they keep their
minds fixed on the fact that it is highly
desirable that children should learn
to get along without their families.
That child is fortunate whose mothers
love has not been so exacting and alb
Sorbing that he must constantly turn
to his home for SuStainment and
nourishment, after he is of an age when
life's demands make it necessary for
him to be foot-loose. The business man
who called at his mothers home every
day, for a half hour during which she
stroked his head and listened to his
troubles, is an extreme example of the
reimbursement caused by unwise love
and devotion.
Another thing that such mothers
must do is to realize that family life
