$4,000 From
County Donors
Mrs. Everett ]. BOOthby,
Roll Call Chairman Re-
leases Drive Figures

Montgomery county Residents
have donated $4,000 to the Ameri-
can Red Cross since September Is.

by Mrs. Everett ]. Boothby, chair
man of roll call and war relief for
Montgomery County chapter. Of
this amount $2O,4OO was taken in
during the annual roll call and $751;
OOO given in the war relief drive
just completed.
Fifty cents of each dollar men,
bership and fifteen per cent Of the
relief donations are kept in the
county for the local work in in
struction, production and local dis
aster relief. Although Montgomery
county has never had major dis
aster, it has had its share of flood,
fire and sickness when the Red
Gross has stepped in to help those
in need. Thousands of county resi-
dents have already completed or
enrolled for work in first aid, nutri-
ton and home nursing courses.
In complimenting the county on
the fine cooperation shown in the
two recent drives, Mr.. Boothby said,
"Too many thanks cannot be given
to the many splendid workers who
helped US. In each drive over two
hundred men and women, business
men and busy housewives gave of
their time freely and gladly to can
vass every street and country road,
and it is to the conscientious work
of these volunteers that we owe the
successful elimination of our cam
paigns."

Farm Bureau
Warns Farmers
About Petition
Sends Letter To County
Agricuiturists Asking Not
To Sign Change Of Gov
eminent Petition

Montgomery county farmers
have received letter from the
Montgomery County Farm Bureau;
official farm organization, asking
them to "study very carefully the
reasons listed before signing any
petition or voting on the question
of changing the present form of
government"
Last week the Civic Federation
passed a resolution to petition
Montgomery county voters to place
on the November ballot a referen-
dunn to change the present two
party system of government as
recommended by the Brookings In
stitute to which the Farm Bureau
immediately voiced opposition. The
Civic Federation voted the resolu-
ton by majority of SO votes,
while farm spokesman say there
are approximately 1855 farmers,
their families and friends who are
opposed to the measure.
The letter follows:
Dear Fellow Farmers:
The Board Of Directors of the
Montgomery County Farm Bureau,
at it's recent meeting, diapproved
the Charter form Of government
for the County; and appointed this
committee to set forth and convey
to each farmer out reasons for so
doing. We hope each farm family
will study very carefully the rea-
sons, listed below before signing
any petition or voting on the ques-
ton:
l. This nation has grown to be
the greatest on earth through
two-party system which affords the
checks and balances necessary to
guard reasonably well the citizens
interests. The Charter system
would tend toward one-man gov
eminent in county affairs; in other
words, the thing in county affairs
that we as a nation are fighting to
prevent.
2. Under the only plan for a
charter system that has been dis
cussed the county would be divided
into nine districts, each to be COM
prised of one-ninth of the county
population, and each to be repre-
sented by one councilman. Any citi-
zen would vote only for the one
to represent the district. The nine
would employ a county manager to
administer all county affairs. With
such plan the agricultural sec
tons would be represented by no
more than three of these council
men. Every ten years, at each
United States census, the nine dis
tricts would be rearranged SO that
each district would have the same

Democrats Defend
New System Of
Registration
Chairman Shaw Issues
Statement Following Criti-
cism Of Expense

Democratic State Central Com
mittee Chairman Lacy Shan
released for publication this
week a complete defense of the
system of permanent registra-
ton and contends that the oVer-
Whelnsipg majority of me1Uly
registered Democrats gives rise
to the complaints of the cost.
Mr.. ShGaO's statement follows:
Montgomery County Democrats
feel that a recent dispatch from
Rockville, which stated that it cost
Montgomery County $1.20 each to
register 739 new voters during the
past ten days and indicated that
the Board of Election Supervisors
are considering discontinuing the
supplemental boards of permanent
registry that are conducting this
registration in the suburban Sec
tions of Montgomery County, is
only partial as well as an made
quate statement of the registration
situation here.
"The article complains of lack of
interest in the registration. We be-
lieve that the objection is too much
rather tnan too little interest.
II $50 new citizens have regis
tered as Democrats and 121 as Re-
publicans during six weeks of the
sittings of those supplemental
boards of permanent registration.
Four weeks of this registration be-
gan November goth last, and was
resumed February End.
obviously, the Republican local
politicians would greatly desire to
discontinue the opportunity of con-
venient registration to the 1000
new residents of suburban Mont
gomery County, when the party
affiliations of these same new resi-
dents shows a Democratic ratio of
slightly over 16-to-1. It is a matter
of record that the new Democratic
registration in this County has
never before exceeded the new Re
publican registration by ratio Of
more than 3h-to-1.

declared their intentions of State
