Continued from page u

of our community friends, much suf-
fering was allevlated. Now every
member is back on the job except
Maynard Hudson, who is well or the
road to complete recovery.
The Relief Association has paid
benefits to many of the members this
year, and it is again brought to the
attention of the personnel who do not
belong to the Association the many
benefits that are theirs for the pay
ment of the initiation fee of Five
Dollars.
The Department has responded to
total of 1876 calls, ia of which were
fires and 81, rescues. Assistant Chief
Leslie B. Thompson is awarded the
chiefs prize for attendance at calls,
having responded to total of 141.
Those receiving honorable mention
are: Roy Smith, 1879; Captain Ralph
Benson, 1913; Joe Hutchinson, 1874;
Higgins, ia; Paul Anders, 113; Cap
tain v. C. Wilson, 107; John B. Ray,

rows, 1O3, and George Norris, go.
The attendance chart is indicative
of your worth to the Department. I'm
less you are an administrative ffiocer
you cannot be of much service to the
Department if you do not attend calls
and meetings.
The Departments apparatus and
alarm system are in good operating
condition; however, it is believed adj
visable to replace the Brockway
pumper with a modern piece of ap-
paratus as soon as housing facilities
are completed.
A fair estimate of the Departments
present worth is reflected in the fol-
lowing assets:
Buildings and Grounds 49, $27,000.00
Apparatus and Equipment 32,700.00
Alarm System ........ 3,5OO.OO
Miscellaneous ........ 100000
Total. ............... SOB ,zUU.UU
It has been pleasure and an honor
to have served as your chief. The
future looks decidedly bright, and
with continued cooperation of men,
bers, l am sure our future under
takings will be crowned with success.

For Our Children
SAFETY IN THE SCHOOL

Accidents constitute the leading
cause of death for children of school
age. Forty-five per cent of these ac-
cidents are school accidents. In the
school building the accidents occur, in
order of their Importance, in the gym
nasium, the halls on the stairs, class
rooms, and the shop. Outside the
building accidents occur most fire.
quently in unorganized activities,
football, other athletics, and on APP
paratus.
An adequate safety program in the
school is most desirable. A number of
years ago the Outdoor Safety Patrol
was organized with tremendous sue
cess. Most schools have formed in
door safety patrols. Safety courses as
part of the school curriculum are
being organized throughout the coun-
try, though the growth is rather slow.
Residents of Rockville may feel proud
to know that in the Richard Mont
gomery High School not only the in
door and outdoor patrols have been
functioning for some time, but, in
addition, it is the only school in the
county and one of the few in the
United States to have Safety Edu-
cation Class, and a Safety Council.
The Safety Education Glass re-
ceives instruction in safe practices in
driving as well as in other phases of
safety. The Safety Council, which is
composd of representatives from
every class in the school, discusses
and tries to remedy any safety hazard
observed in the school, on the school
grounds, or in the town. These fac
tors have undoubtedly contributed to
Richard Montgomery High Schools
safety record of having had only
five or six accidents in the past ten
years. Cooperation between the home
and the school will eliminate these
few accidents and give Rockville a
perfect school safety record.

Alden A. Potter
Seeks House Seat
On Money Platform
Student Of Economy Is
Interested In Financial
Reforms

Time being too short to get petit
tions filed, Alden A. Potter, candidate
for Congress in the special election
on February 8, will campaign in the
Fifth District for write-in votes. Mr..
Potter hopes that many of those who
are sufficiently interested in his none
tary platform to do this, will be will
ing to send him their names and adj
dresses for future reference.
The monetary reforms Potter advo-
Gates are quoted verbatim from the
monograph of DR.. Laughlin Currie,
now assistant director of research for
the Federal Reserve Board on Sup
ply and Control of Money in the
United States, as follows: "The most
perfect control could be achieved by
direct government issue of all money,
both notes and deposits subject to
check-the merit Of this proposal lies
in the fact that it divorces the supply
Of money from the loaning of money"
Although a resident Of Maryland,
Potter is not an unfamiliar figure in
Washington, having created a stir in
1886 when he testified before the
Ways and Means Committee that
Secret Service men had appeared at
his home to stop his circulation of a
reprint from the Presidents 1888 in
augural address anent the money
changers. He was the first witness to
appear at the hearing of the District
of Columbia Milk Marketing agree
ment.
He has lived in Maryland for 20
years on small dairy farm in Mont
gomery county. He was formerly en-
gagged in research at the Bureau of
Plant Industry and is now engaged in
graduate college study at the Ameri-
can University in economics.

The tragedy of poor neurotic Buddy Merriell is sig

CAPITALISM, DEMOCRACY
AND FASCISMS SWEEP

Editor, The Times: The great
attempt to save Capitalism, UNI
der the banner of Fascism, con-
tinues. Germany takes Austria,
Czechslovakia, now Italy in
vades Albania. Spain, after two
long years of blood and star
walton. yields to the mailed fist
of Fascism.
Under the neutrality act of
'non-interVention' by the de-
mocracies of the world, the
Spanish peoples fight for de-
mocracy was a hopeless cause.
The poor economic condition of
the people of Austria and
Czechosiovakia left them not
only an easy, but welcome,
prey of fascism. 1t could not
be any worse living under the
sword of fascism than il was
living under the landlords of
wealth who kept them in pow
erty under the title of democ-
racy. Their choice was not one
of government. but 1t was one
of bread.
The present invasion of AL

ers have said of the Munich
agreement. II proves that the
British financial powers. repre-
sented by Chamberlain. and the
French financial powers. repre-
scented by Dsladier. have Coop
Grated with Hitler and Mussolini
in dividing the land Of Europe.
by the means OF fascism, so as
to preserve capitalism.
The cause of economic pa
ralysis' is not only due TO
overproduction and under-con-
sumption. but II is mainly due
TO the fact that there are no
profit-making markets left for
capital. As capital viii not oper-
ate at loss. as this would
bankrupt itself. capital must
find ready markets for its pro-
ducuon. Thus il is that war
descends upon the people When
financial interests come in con-
flict over the markets Of pro-
duction. then a horrer, such as
we saw from 1914 to 1918, takes
place. The fight for profit
making markets IS on.
The nations of the world had.
by 1929. reached the same sta
tus that they had in 1914. But.
unlike as al that time. the eco-
monte position Of the people has
