produce from so to 70 gallons OF

Without additional taxation,

through the general fund at an ap-
proximate cost of $1,000.
Mr.. Kelly was generous in his
praise of Charles j. Maddox, on
whose property the wells are locat-

says Kelly, exemplified true, public

gram would help the poorest paid

future of Montgomery County. Mr..
Harvey White, of Poolesville, ex-
pressed the opinion that the small

acceptable answer. Mr.. Lawson
King. of Rockville, on several oc-
casions expressed general approval
of the points then under discussion.
Several other Directors expressed
general approval from time to time
during the three hour discussion.
Even such directors as Mr.. Hines,
of Olney, who has consistently OPP
posed the program of better homes
for the poorest paid workers nod
ded or spoke approval Of several
of the suggestions.
During the discussion, all agreed
that the houses in which the poor
est paid workers of Montgomery
County now live should be i'm
proved, that they were not livable
or fit homes for human beings. Ger
tainly no one present opposed that
general statement which I have
made on several occasions.
"One Of the points which devel-
oped was that the Directors Of the
Farm Bureau believed that it Is
becoming increasingly difficult to
secure part-time farm workers in
Montgomery County and that the
ability Of the men available is not
improving. It is my opinion that
one of the many beneficial results
of the program which will flow to
the farm owners would be the con-

MONTGOMERY
Nl SIDELICHTS
E. w. H.

Half Way House, that attractive
log cabin gift shop, half way be-
tween Olney and Ashton, and about
half way between Washington and
Baltimore, might give you some
original ideas for Christmas pres
ents.
Once the parsonage of the col
cred church in Mt. Zion, the Misses
Moore bought the cabin from the
church about nine years ago and
had it moved to its present loca
ton.
Nestled under a dropping tree,
with ivy entangled around the
chimney and over the roof it makes
an appropriate setting for the
colorful glass, china, pottery and
homespun linens sold within.
A home woven carpet covers the
floor. Miss Moore sews the rags in
her leisure moments log fire
crackles on the hearth, in the glow
of which is usually found Miss
Beatrix Moore's spaniel, Bridget,
: and her pup.
Several weeks ago there were
five puppies, bits of brown and
black astra4chan but running
short of china pups their mistress
started selling them she did so
well that now there is but one, and
no doubt Santa win pick him up
on Christmas eve to delight some
small child.
Though the war is making it diff
ficult to obtain imported things,
most of the countries that produce
colorful hand made things are rep
resented in the shop, and there are
many Mexican gifts and pottery
and glass from our own South.
Sweden furnished US with gift
cards showing the native provincial
costumes for some of our friends
of Swedish descent then We
bought Mexican pottery baking
dishes, Majolica plates from France
and bits of colored glass for our
west window shelf, all these at a
most modest price.
We love to stop there and talk
With Miss Moore of the year we
were in elementary school together
at Sherwood Roger j. Whiteford
now a well known lawyer was
principal of the school, he was so
young but so stern and dignified
that we trembled at his glance.
The wisdom of years make us
wonder if Mr.. Whiteford were not
as frightened as were we.

Rockville to Have
New Town Ordinance
January 1

An increase of approximately
$4o0 per year will result from the
new town water and sewage ordi-
nance recently passed by the Rock
vile Mayor and Town Council The
present annual income is around
g. 400, baSed on an annual assess
ment of $500 per building serv-
iced by the town sewage system,
says Councilman Lamar Kelly.
Members of the Council declare
the new ordinance is designed to
provide a more equitable main
tenance fee. Larger users will
pay more for the privilege while
the cost to the small users will
be in proportion, not to be less
in any case than $3.50 semi-an-
nually for each meter used. If,
however, the user exceeds the
allotted amount, the fee will be
equal to one-fourth the sum
charged by the Mayor and Coun-
Gil.
Other clauses covered by the
ordinance include charges to be
made to users of water and not
disposal and users of sewers and
not town water. The complete
Ordinance will be found on page

Housing Authority Plans
Changes to Meet Objections
Chairman Lee Gives Full Report of Effort To
Make Housing Plan Acceptable To Farm
Owners and Workers Alike

In discussing the proposed pro-
gram of the Montgomery County
Housing Authority for well-built
low rent homes for the poorest
paid workers in the agricultural
county, at meeting of the Greater
Kensington Civic League at the
kensington Junior High School
Wednesday night, E. Brooke Lee,
Chairman of the County Housing
Authority said:
monday morning eighteen di-
rectors of the Montgomery County
Farm Bureau, meeting in Rock
vile. were sufficiently considerable
of the present opportunity to build
from 300 to 800 houses with
United States Treasury money for
low-rental to the poorest paid
workers in agricultural Montgomery
County, to allow me to discuss this
opportunity with them for three
hours.
"At this meeting, suggested to
the Farm Bureau Directors two
changes in our previously suggest
ed program which had been sug-
gested by successful farmers dur
ing the preceding forty-eight hours,
and which changes were, first, that
the new homes to be built for the
poorest paid workers should be
built in smaller groups than prev
iously considered and placed more
generally throughout the agricul-
tural county and, consequently,
more conveniently to each group of
farms: and. secondly, that existing
sub-standard and generally univ
able houses should be purchased
and destroyed in the immediate Sec
ton for each new home to be built.
"The men who had made these
suggestions were markedly sue
cessful farm owners and pointed
out that such a plan would keep
the part-time farm workers from
being assembled in villages from
four to five or eight to ten miles
from the farms where they had
previously worked and, consequent
ly, that such q change in plan
would prevent them from living in
an inconvenient and uncertain To-
cation when considered in connec-
ton with their continued available
ity to work on the group of farms
upon which they had previously
worked. These farmers contended
that if these part-time workers,
through distance or any other fac
tor, were not regular in coming to
the work they had previously
done. other workers would be en-
ployed by the farm owners to take
the place of the previous workers
then living in the more distant vii
lage groups. This might then re-
suit in the loss of work to the fam
lilies we are trying to help and even
to the further importation Of addi-
tional workers either into the
county or into the section of the
county effected. Either result would
increase relief and welfare costs,
would crowd the schools and would
produce other harmful results.
"This line of reasoning appeared
sufficiently sound that the members
of the Montgomery County Hous-
ing Authority felt that we should
follow that advice.
