Observer Calls For
Airplane Spoilers

Because so many men who had
volunteered and were helping MAN.
tain the airplane observatory posts
near Rockville have been called for
army duty, Charles w. Prettyman,
acting chief observer has issued
an urgent call for more volunteers
to act as spoilers.
"In order to maintain a twenty
four-hour vigilance we need eighty
four men," Mr.. Prettyman said.
"These men work two-hour shift
per week So it does not create a
hardship on anybody"
Located west of Rockville, the
observation post for spotting
planes was started by the Ameri-
can Legion, under the guidance of
Judge Stedman Prescott. It now
consists of a small shack, electri-
city, heat and telephone. For fur
there information concerning VOL
unteers, call or see Mr.. Prettyman

Diphtheria Must
Be Controlled

In recent interview, Or. Ellicott
of the Montgomery County Health
Department called attention to the
benefits which can be derived from
the Diphtheria Prevention Cam
paign which the Health Depart
ment is carrying out in the county
He said, eff every young child in
this community were to be given
toxoid injection, loss of life from
diphtheria would be eliminated
among our children. This asser-
ton is based on conclusive demon
strations which have already been
carried out in other communities. u
"Diphtheria is dreaded disease.
1t attacks people of all ages,
but is most fatal among the
young" he said. From 1888 to
1910 there were 424 cases in
Montgomery County. In 1941 there
were 81 cases. Sixteen of these
were in the Rockville area.
"Diphtheria cases are still con-
tinuing in Montgomery County,
while the rate is high among those
who have not been immunized,"
he said.
The Health Department in the
past few months has been making
house to house visits inoculating
preschool children who are not
able to secure this service from
their own doctors. The object is
to immunize every preschool child
in the county.

corning the registration: ct am

rangements made. We have plenty
of trained registrars and convent
ent places of registration. We are

a lot Of time by being prepared to
answer the questions listed above.

paper and bring it along with him. y

and county school buildings.

James j. Hayden and Miss Ruth
A. Bolton, Executive Secretary,
We're appointed to serve as repre-
sentatives of the League on the
Board of Trustees of the Washing
ton Community Chest, of which the
agency is a member.
In her annual report to the Board
Of Directors, the Executive Secre-
tary, Miss Ruth A. Bolton, outlined
the development of the League
during the past eight years. Dur
ing this period the League has
transferred four different func-
lions = emergency unemployment
relief, Juvenile Court probation
service, relief to those permanently
dependent because of age or pEysi-
cal or mental handicaps-which
were in reality the responsibility
of the public. Each of these
services had been initiated and
developed in the county until
accepted as a public responsibility.
The fourth and last of these
transfers took place on October
1, 1941, when the League trans
ferred to the Montgomery County
Welfare Board lat dependent
children who had been placed in
foster homes after being COM
mitted by the Juvenile Court. With
this transfer the League gave up
the last of its public functions and
became a private agency.

Centrum Files
Explosive Code,
Fireworks Rules
New Rules Will Control Use
Of Explosives, Fireworks
And Electrical Wiring

Insurance Commissioner John B.
Centrum announced yesterday that
rules and regulations governing
explosives have been issued pur-
suant to the power granted to the
Insurance Commissioner by the Act
of 1941.
The regulations as provided by
the statute have been filed with the
Bureau of Legislative Reference,
and will become law within twenty
days from the date of filling.
MI. Centrum explained that the
rules have been prepared after
many conferences with the explo-
sive engineers and experts and in
cooperation with the explosive
users of Maryland. He stated that
the regulations fill long standing
need for the control of the hand
ling, transportation and storage of
explosives in Maryland outside of
Baltimore City, and are particularly
important during the war emer-
gency.
1t was under the same authority
that rules controlling fireworks
were issued, the enforcement Of
which resulted in the reduction of
the Fourth of July casualties from
307 in 1910 to II in 1941.
Mr.. Centrum further stated that
the Insurance Department will have
copies available at the expiration
of the twenty day period for distri-
button among those interested in
explosive regulations.
Regulations governing install
.ation of electrical wiring were
filed with the Bureau of Legislative
Reference sometime ago by the
Insurance Commissioner, and copies
are now being prepared for general
distribution.
Heretofore Maryland has had no
electrical code, and it is believed
that the enforcement of the new
electrical regulations will do much
toward cutting Maryland losses
from fire.

Civic Federation
Passes Motion To
Circulate Petition
Resolution Passed 80 to u
To Secure approximately
$500 Names For Refer
endum

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation voted 80 to % for a
resolution in favor Of circulating
referendum petitions for a charter
election November 4 Of this year.
The vote was taken after a great
deal of parliamentary jockeying
and appeals from rulings of the
chairman. Delegates from cup
county" contend that they were
denied sufficient time to give ex-
preston to their viewpoints. After
much debate, most of which was on
parliamentary procedure, a motion
to vote on the resolution at 10:45
was carried.
The resolution called for the
signing of a petition by approxim-
ately $500 voters which in effect
would ultimately change the pres
ent form of government in Mont
gomery County from a two-party
system, now in effect, to proposed
non-partisan, managerial, council
manic system as recommended by
the Bookings Institution, and
known as a charter form of gov
eminent.
A 1t h o u G h recommended by
Brookings, civic leader proponents
at the meeting abandoned the
Brookings report and declined to
defend it. Allen H. Gardner, chair
man of the Federation Survey
Committee on the Broohings Re-
port nd-Author of the Resolution,
said, 1.-THE resolution is whether the
people are to be entitled to vote
rext November; whether they want
to elect charter board and decide
what kind of government We want
to have, if we want changes.
That's all there is to it. We are
not discussing Brookings or any.
thing else"
James Cosgrove Of Chevy Chase
Gardens spoke as follows: "The
resolution is merely a declaration
of policy by this Federation. For
get Brookings. 1t is just a question
of favoring or not favoring circu-
lation of petition among the
voters"
Stephen James of Woodside, in
supporting the petition, said: "For
myself, / am not at all prepared
at this time to accept in toto or
without further consideration many
Of the Brookings recommended
tions."
An opponent of the measure
claimed "the Civic Federation is
not regarded as representative of
suburban vote because 25 dele
gates of the Silver Spring area
voted for the change and only four
against, whereas in the coming fall
election, there1l be a popular vote
Of 3-to-1 in favor Of the Democratic
candidates and a majority of 1900
to 1000 against the chatter
change"
Almost at viii, the civic leaders
changed their own rules under
which a roll call vote could have
been called by any fifteen delegates
and discounted the rulings Of
President Joseph B. Matre, five
times on appeals from rulings of
the chair. The gag rule adopted al
lowed five-minute speeches and
closed debate at 10:45.
