Clubs Mobilize
To Protest New
Probation Officer
Allied Civic Groups Ask
Pay Be Withheld Pending
Investigation

During the past week numerous
clubs and organizations in Montgom-
cry county have taken action to pro-
test the appointment of Mrs. Made
line o. Fennell as probation officer Of
the Juvenile Court in Montgomery
county. Countless letters have been
sent to the Governor, to the Board of
County Commissioners, and to Judge
John Gassaway requesting that an
experienced, qualified social worker
be appointed to this position.
Many of the letters have asked that
the County Commissioners withhold
the payment of salary to any person
who has not had paid experience
under professional supervision in an
accredited social agency. Mrs. Made
line 0. Fennell, who has recently been
appointed as probation officer of the
Juvenile Court reputedly has had no
experience as professional social
worker and it is felt by many organi-
cations that her experience as a vol
unteer worker with the Girl Scouts
and the Christ Child Society does not
qualify her for work with the serious
problems Of delinquent, neglected,
and dependent children, who come
before the Juvenile Court.
The Takoma Park Woman's Club,
VI ich has membership of 300, was
one of the organizations which sent
a letter to the County Commissioners
requesting that the salary of the pro-
baton officer not be paid to any UNI
qualified person. Similar action was
taken by the Takoma Park Element
AIRY PIT. A,
The Allied civh Grou .,s IL Silver
Spring urged the County Commission
ers to acertain whether the new APP
pointee is sufficiently qualified and if
not, it is recommended that payment
of the salary be withheld until an
other probation officer is appointed.
The Montgomery County Mental
Hygiene Society, which has furnished
psychiatric service to the Juvenile
Court during the past year, has in
formed the County Commissioners
that it is felt necessary to withdraw
this service until qualified probation
officer has been appointed since it is
believed that psychiatric services
could not be utilized effectively by
an unframed person.
The Montgomery County Social
Welfare Council has written to Gov
ernor O'Conor on two occasions call
ing attention to the fact that the high
standards of the Juvenile Court can
not be maintained unless a qualified
person is employed as probation
officer.
