Ask Lights Installed
For Outdoor Sports On
Welsh Field In 1889

A delegation comprising influential
citizens and representatives of vari-
Gus organizations in Rockville ap-
peared before the School Board on
Tuesday and asked permission to in
stall fioodlights on Welsh Field so
that athletic events could be held
there at night.
F. Barnard Welsh, prominent at
torney for whom the stadium is
named; Corp. James Miller, of the
Maryland State Police and others ex-
planned that the cost of the project is
being underwritten by the business
men and various civic groups. It was
felt that the lighting Of the field
would provide recreational center
available for both children and adults
after normal working hours.
The Board promised to give an
early answer to the plea. Several ad-
Joining property owners have signi-
fed their intention to protest the
move notwithstanding the over
whelming support accorded the propo-
sition so far.

Christmas Seal
Sale Progressing
In Maryland
Counties Report Sales
Slightly Above Those OF
1887

Progress in the annual tuberculosis
Christmas Seal sale is being reported
from almost every county Of the state,
1t was reported from the Maryland
tuberculosis Association this week.
Some of the counties are slightly
ahead Of their previous records and
a few are behind, but it is strongly
felt by all local chairmen that the
results so far are encouraging. II
those who still retain their seals
without having paid for them will
make their remittance, the goals Of
the various counties should be
reached.
"A successful sale Of the Seals will
insure each county Of a continuation
of the anti-tuberculosis program"
William B. Matthews, managing d.
rector of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association, said.
"A continuation is very necessary
due to the high tuberculosis death
rate Of Maryland. The death rate has
been steadily reduced for many years
but several more years Of intensive
effort is necessary before the disease
will be brought under control, he
said.
Christmas Seals make possible
many activities that are gradually
helping to reduce tuberculosis mortal
ity and incidence. Every person who
purchases Seals takes an active and
helpful part in the campaign against
this disease.

Farmers Feel Need To
Pass On Unemployment
EHecting Rural Problems
Welfare Board Welcomes Aid Of County Farm
Bureau in Advisory Capacity--Mrs. Kurtz Explains
Intricate Problems Caused By Legal COMPLICATIONS

At the regular meeting of the
Montgomery County Welfare Board,
great interest was shown in the re-
cent proposal of the Montgomery
County Farm Bureau to appoint a
district committee to set in an advis-
DRY capacity to the Welfare Board. In
1885, similar committees composed of
representative members of the Farm
Bureau were appointed at the request
of the Welfare Board, but these COM
mittees have been inactive recently.
During the past six months, the We'll
fare Board has renewed its efforts to
enlist the interest of community
groups in its program and problems,
but the Farm Bureau has not been
approached as an organization be-
cause it was felt that the farmers in
the county were more interested in
the problems affecting the employable
members of the community than is
the unemployable persons eligible to
assistance from the Welfare Board.
Consequently, the interest evinced in
the resolution passed at the recent
annual meeting of the Farm Bureau
proved highly gratifying to members
of the Welfare Board. By formal ac-
ton, the executive secretary was d.
rected to write Mr.. Joshua Jones,
president of the Farm Bureau, well
coming the cooperation Of that or
ganization and asking that a list of
members Of the committees appointed
be sent as soon as possible, in order
that plans for future cooperation may
be developed.
Plans for cooperative action be-
tween the Social Service League
(private Community Chest organize
tion) and the Welfare Board were
discussed also. Mrs. Kurtz, executive
secretary, explained that many famil-
les receiving aid to dependent chill
dren presented complicated problems,
which because of the legal limitations
imposed upon the Welfare Board
could not be met adequately by this
organization alone. Miss Ruth Bolton,
executive secretary, of the Social
Service League, has agreed to at
tempt to work out cooperative plans
to supplement- funds and services now
provided by the Welfare Board.
Especial attention will be given to the
problems presented by families in
which only one child is eligible to aid
to dependent children and the maxi
muir. grant which can be allowed by
the Welfare Board ($18) is not ade-
quate for the family needs. In some
cases of this type it is hoped that the
mother may be given training which
eventually will allow her to become
self-supporting. If the mother has no
relative who is able to care for her
child during her absence during the
day, it may be possible for the Social
Service League to provide a suitable
foster home in which both the mother
and the child may live.

OCOnOr Plans To
ReOrganize Courts
In The Counties

Governor-elect O'Conor this week
told delegates attending the third an
nual meeting of the Maryland Police
Association at the Southern Hotel
that he would promise constitution
al amendment to eliminate the fee
method of compensating county mag
istrates.
Recently returned from a vacation
in the West Indies, the Governor =
elect said that "as long as judges
compensation is based on the number
of cases he tries, a powerful tempta-
ton is afforded him to increase bust
ness"
"Such profit motive would be all
right in the ordinary marts of COM
merce, but it is disgrace to any jul
dicial system. It cannot be tolerated
in present-day Maryland, he contin-
ued.
Prime Issue In Reform
81 promise that it be eliminated by
constitutional amendment, and / shall
include it as a cardinal principle in
the general reform of these lower
courts which l shall inaugurate in my
administration"
The Governor-elect also declared
that there "is no comprehensive plan
for reform of justice courts in the
counties"
Gin some jurisdictions, he said,
peoples courts have been established
on the general pattern of that OPP
Grated in Baltimore. These courts
have run into constitutional difficulties
and are not operating satisfactorily.
Some Have Central Judge
"Some counties have a central po-
lice judge for the trial of criminal
cases.
"Other counties rely entirely upon
the old neighborhood court plan,
where each justice reigns supreme in
his own locality
"In those counties where there is
central court, the present constitu-
ton requires that there aslo be the
same number of judges for each cleo
ton district as before.
"These extra justices have little OF
nothing to do and are, for the most
part, useless appendages appointed to
conform to constitutional require
ments. These useless justices should
be abolished.
Generally speaking, 1 favor the
establishment of one or more central
courts in each county for the trial
of criminal and civil cases.
