Farm War Board
Advises Farmers
On Machinery
Montgomery County Agri-
cultural War Group Con-
fers With Farm Machinery
Dealers. Urges Inventory
OF Implements

A list of recommendations re-
garding the purchase of farm ma
chinery and replacement parts have
been formulated as the result of a
joint meeting between the Mont
gomery County Agricultural War
Board and farm machinery dealers
this week.
Most specific Of the groups plan
is to ask each farmer to make a
complete inventory Of all farm
machinery and ascertain what re-
placements are necessary. This
should be done now and new parts
ordered by February Is to insure
delivery, dealers stated. When
asked about price increase, the
dealers admitted an appreciate in
crease in most commodities, but
not exorbitant. Farmers will be
urged to order parts by number,
make and model to avoid confu-
sion, they said. This is a part of
the national defense program,
members stated. =.
Members of the War Board will
designate a scrap iron day in the
near future and ask farmers to
collect old iron which will be sold
to foundries through junk dealers.
It is estimated that there are ap-
proximately 5,400 tons of scrap
iron on Montgomery county farms.
When asked what he would do with
the money received from scrap iron
sales, one prominent farmer said,
''buy defense bonds" Probably a
proposed slogan "From Bolts to
Bonds!" will be adopted by Mont
geometry farmers, it is understood.
Dealers invited to the conference
included, M. J. Gartner, Gathers
burg; Thomas & Co., Gathers
burg; Charles Fraley, Laytons-
vile; Hunter Brothers, Silver
Spring; Athey & Harrison, Laurel;
j. T. Fisher & Son, Poolesville;

Rockville; Gladhill Brothers, Da-
mascus; George Boyer, Damascus;

Civic Federation
Fails To Take
Charter Action
Meeting Ends In Bedlam
AS Members Delay Voting.
Political Aspect Admitted

Adjourning in a maze of mo-
tons, resolutions and amendments
following a two-hour parliamon-
tary skirmish, the Montgomery
County Federation, Monday eve
ming, January IL. meeting in Be
thesda, failed to take action on a
resolution to approve a move plac-
ing before county voters the ques-
ton of a charter form of govern
nlent.
Presented by Allen H. Gardner,
Civic Federation chairman of the
Bookings survey of Montgomery
county government, the resolution
in effect favored circulation of
petition among county voters to
determine if charter board should
be voted on at the next general
election. A charter would then be
drawn up with hearings, improve
ments and Investigations for,
among other things, the general
good of the county.
Asserting that there was nothing
in the voluminous Brookings re-
port that stated charter form of
government would improve the
county, Trial Magistrate Hugh
Frampton termed the resolution as
"highly deceptive"
Authorities state that were
such form adopted in Montgom-
cry county it would mean a COM
plete change in the present govern
mental set-up. County affairs would
be controlled by county manager
who would be named by the ma
jority wish of nine councilmen,
they said. These councilmen would
be elected from nine different dis
tricts, each district having a vote
for only one councilman. This
would scrap the present system of
voting where the people may cast
their ballot for each and every one
on the ticket, observers contend.
Judge Frampton also pointed out
that according to the State consti-
tuition, Incorporated town and spe-
cial taxing areas are exempt from
the provisions of charter govern
nent, and that there were 81 such
exempted areas in Montgomery
county.
James w. Gill, member of the
State Legislature, termed the pro-
position, "the most amazing and
outrageous I've ever heard" He
opposed such a drastic change
especially during "these trying
times when we are at war;" Mr..
Gill charged the group with play
ing politics and s. P. Rosser,
president of the Chevy Chase
Gardens and proponent of the
measure took the floor. eve are
certainly political to the extent
that we are interested in good gov
eminent enough to get out and get
1t signed. I think it is time we
ought to go out and say we are in
politics to the extent we want to
go out and fight for it," he said.
After further discussion, Carey
Quinn offered an amendment to the
resolution, forbidding delegates to
the Federation, or constituent
members, from circulating the pc
tition.
Following heated arguments on
parliamentary procedure the meet
ing suddenly adjourned with con-
troversy left unsettled.

Might Be
|WrOng--BUT
by P. G. Stromber,

There is not normal person
in America who hasn't place
in the present crisis. There can
not be too many volunteers for
the many activities essential to
efficient conduct in the event of
catastrophe. There is, first of all,
mass of instructions with
which every member of every
household should be made
familiar. AS far as can be these
instructions are be-
Volunteer ing given wide
For publicity in the
Victory simplest possible
form. Even so, the
many phases of defense prevents
a too simple form. 1t is therefore
the obligation of every citizen
particularly heads of families
to study the instructions and
have every member of the house
hold understand what should be
done under varying circum-
stances.
It is not the purpose nor the
desire of officials to unduly
brighten the general public. 1t is,
however, necessary to call atten-
ton to hard facts in order to
arouse many people to realiza-
ton of the seriousness of the
present crisis. Nothing will be
nor can be lost if we are fortu-
nate enough to escape catas-
trophe. It costs nothing but
effort to be prepared-it could
cost more than we dare imagine
to be unprepared. There can be
no assurance that any big Sec
ton near any big city on the
eastern seaboard will be bombed.
This can happen at any time.
Even though we will not be the
objective, number of elements
make all sections near Washing
ton and Baltimore extremely
dangerous territory. Attempted
escape of enemy bombers unload
ing for faster getaway; wind
velosity; poor aim; all these
make it imperative for the resi-
dents of this section to know
what to do in the event of such
an unexpected emergency.
While much criticism has been
leveled at our failure to perfect
these units of de-
Follow tense earlier it is
Instructions encouraging to rea-
lie the extent of
progress being made by men who
are charged with the response
bility of organizing every city,
town and county in Maryland.
Detailed instructions are avail
able at county defense headquar-
tiers. Much information is given
on the radio. Get your instruc-
tions and study them. First make
certain of your community and
under what regulations you will
operate. Your local paper will be
the best means of following the
educational campaign.
There has been lot of con-
fusion-some of which might
have been avoided. There still is
confusion which can only be
cleared if every one makes an
honest and sincere effort to know
his or her part.
Beyond this duty OF knowing
your part in actual defense there
is room for many volunteers
men and women.
"Volunteer for Victory" has
been selected as State slogan.
List your name and qualifica-
tions with your civilian defense
