Farm Bureau Will
Seek More Space
For Wheat Storage
James d. King Points Out
Advantages To The Rail-
roads AS Well AS To
Farmers

The railroads are going to be asked
to make available space in their ele-
vators for farm storage of wheat.
This, according to James D. King,
president of the Montgomery County
Farm Bureau, is what that body will
request in a short tine. That this will
mutually benefit both the railroads
and farmers is evident. The railroads
will receive storage fee while the
farmers will have available a Govern
ment loan of Zoe per bushel on No. 2
garlicky wheat. d.
The Farm Bureau will request the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
tion, through the local county COM
mittee, to loan money on farm stored
wheat. This committee headed by
Thomas C. Darby, Jamestown, in
cludes T. A. Barnsly, Olney, and
Ralph Walker, Gaithersburg.
Mr.. ling stated that western wheat
growers, who store their grain in ap-
proved farm bins are eligible for loans
and the same opportunity should be
given eastern farmers.
Twas also brought eat in the meet
ing that the Japanese beetle cam
paign is well under way with good re-
suits. The beetle being most prevalent
in Gaithersburg, Rockville, Bethesda
and Silver Spring.
Plans for the annual picnic were
discussed and Mrs. Edwin D. Fry,
Laytonsville, will probably head the
committee on arrangements. The pic
mic will be held August 20, at place
to be selected later.
Approximately 80 reservations for
the New York Worlds Fair tour have
been received, and according to King,
about twice that number will probab-
ly go. The tour, sponsored by the Bu-
reau, will be held July 1929.

URGES NEW ROCKVILLE SCHOOL
AND WIDENING VIERS MILL ROAD
Chamber of Commerce Holds Lively Session Sug-
gest Housing County And State Agencies In
Present School Building

Bureau, supervisors of elections,
social service exchange and all other
county or semi-county activities not
directly connected with the courts.
The resolution held that it would
be a mistake to construct any more
public buildings in the center of the
town and thus add to the congestion.
Postmaster George L. Edmonds,
who heads the committee in charge of
the arrangements for the dedication
next Saturday afternoon of Rockville's
new postoftice building, outlined plans
for the ceremony. 1t was recalled that
the movement for the new building
originated with the chamber of COM
merce in a resolution presented by
Judge Stedman Prescott, of the Cir
cult Court for the county, and it was
suggested that the selection of Judge
Prescott for master of ceremonies at
the dedicatory exercises was, there
fore most appropriate.
The chamber reiterated its stand
of some months ago favoring main
tenance of bridge over the Balt;-
more and Ohio railroad tracks, in
East Rockville, where the old wooden
bridge now stands, and construction
Of adequate approaches thereto.
The chamber decided to hold its an
nual outing at Bay Ridge, on August
8, and Roger Shaw was made chair
man of the general committee Of ar
rangements. The other members OF
the committee include the officers Of
the chamber and Albert A. Ady, W.
Ernest Offutt, j. Darby Bowman and

Return OF Lateral
Road Control Is
Asked By County
Upper County Expected To
Benefit From New Plan
Effective October l Of This
Year

Return of the control of county
lateral roads to the board of county
commissioners as long advocated by
the Montgomery County Farm Bureau
and many other county organizations
and civic leaders of the upper county
was requested by the board of county
commissioners at their weekly meet
ing here Tuesday.
In resolution directed to the State
Roads Commission, which has had
control of the lateral roads in the
county for the past eight years, the
county commissioners requested that
the jurisdiction be returned to them
as of October / of this year which
marks the beginning of the State
Roads Commissions fiscal year.
Authority to return control of the
lateral roads to the county is provided
in legislation enacted by the Mary
land General Assembly at it's last ses-
sion.
The lateral roads were turned over
to the State Roads Commission dur
ing the height of the Hoover depres-
sion as an economy move. At that
time the State was in position under
the Richie administration to coordi-
nate all road building activities in the
state at considerable saving to each
isdiyidual county government.
The policy worked satisfactorily for
i time but in the past several years
dissatisfaction with the manner in
which the program functioned under
the direction of DR.. Homer E. Tabler,
chairman of the State Roads Commits.
sion, during three years of Governor
Nice's four-year administration stead
lily mounted.
For several years the farmers and
most of the other residents of the
upper sections of Montgomery county
clamored for a return of the road
control to the county but without ef-
feet. A resolution calling for such a
return was introduced in the board of
County Commissioners two years ago
by Richard H. Lansdale, Democrat.
but was voted down by the three Fus-
ion members of the board as it was
then constituted.
The new plan whereby the local
county board will maintain the lateral
roads after October 1 is expected to
permit the construction of consider
sble road improvements in the rural
county at much lower cost, utiliz-
ing prison labor and stone and other
materials obtained locally at a small
expense.

18th Street Plans
Again Threaten
Rockville Pike
Possibility Of New Route
To Gettysburg Recalls Fight
Against Project 10 Years
Ago

Efforts to secure the extension
of 10th Street northward beyond
Silver Spring were revived before
the board of county commissioners
in Rockville Tuesday when a dele
cation of about 100 persons APP
peared in the courthouse in behalf
of the project.
The proposal, while purely sub
urban in it's origin, is of widespread
interest to residents and business
men of Rockville and other COM
munities in the upper county along
the Rockville Frederick pike be-
cause of the implications involved.
Following the petition before the
county commissioners Tuesday, the
matter was considered by the Mary
land National Capital Park and
Planning Commission yesterday and
a favorable report was handed
down by that agency.
AS a result of considering the
proposal the Montgomery County
members of the commission voted to
advise the State Roads Commission
and the county commissioners that
it favored the acquisition of the right
of way for the extension of 10th
Street.
Accordingly the commission di-
rected Chief Engineer Irving c.
Root to continue consideration Of
any applications for building per-
mits in the line Of the proposed
extension of 10Th Street.
The present plan calls merely for
extending the Washington stretch
of 18th Street northwest into Mary
land across the BIO railroad tracks
through Woodside to Georgia ave-
nue--a distance Of about one mile.
However, the broader plan calls
for extending 18th Street in an
airline route northward through
Montgomery County to Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania. This plan was vigor-
ously pushed about ten years age
but finally was dropped after siren
uous opposition from residents and
business men along the Rockville
pike and northwestern Montgomery
and Frederick counties.
Opponents Of the 18th Street
Gettysburg highway plan are in
clined to oppose the present plan
strongly because they believe that
the biggest obstacle TO extending the
highway at the present time is the
cost Of getting across the railroad
tracks. Once that obstacle is re-
moved, they feel, the next logical
step is to extend the road clear
TO Gettysburg.
A new airline road to Gettysburg
is expected TO cut off traffic

Widening of Viers Mill road, which
extends from Rockville to Wheaton,
distance of five miles, and construc-
fion of a modern high school building
in Rockville were advocated in resolu-
tions unanimously adopted at spec
iaI meeting of the Rockville Chamber
Of Commerce Friday night of last
week.
Both resolutions were introduced by
Judge Donald A. DeLashmutt. 1t was
pointed out that the Veirs Mill thor
oughfare is of two widths, both ends
being narrower than the middle sec
tion, and that large portion of the
road is a traffic hazard. The county
commissioners were urged to take
steps toward having shoulders con-
structed and the road uniform width
throughout.
The high school resolution recon-
mended erection of building on the
old Rockville fair grounds, already
owned by the county, that would give
the county scat high school facilities
comparable with those in the lower
part of the county. The crowded con-
dition in the Rockville court house
were referred to and it was suggest.
ed that, in the event of the construc-
ton of the new high school building,
this condition could be relieved by
transferring from the courthouse to
the present high school structure the
offices of the county board of health,
supervisor of county aid, county and
state welfare boards, agricultural and
home demonstration agents, Farm

it was God that had made great

could not well be explained away.

Note that Peter was filled with the
Holy Ghost, the third person of the

(1) Jesus Christ is Messiah. CD
He was crucified and raised from

set at nought, and his subsequent
triumph being foretold.-Vs. IL.
