A constitutional procedure en-
bodied in the Maryland constitu-
ton in. 1915 is being invoked for
the first time in Montgomery Coun-
ty by residents participating in the
current charter movement.
Petitions circulated by the Coun-
ty Charter Committee, therefore, do
not ask voters to invoke any new"
procedure foisted on them in recent
studies of county government or
proposed by politicians.
The plan of action was approved
by the Maryland General Assembly
in 1914 and was ratified in the fol-
lowing year.
Those who sign the petitions
merely take this position: That they
want referendum in November on
the question of whether a charter
board shall be elected to study pro-
poced changes in local government
and an election of five members
to such board if it is approved.
5000 Names Needed.
Not all the petition signers favor
discarding the present form of gov
ernment. Such persons. along with
other qualified voters who refuse to
sign, still would have a voice, how
ever, in the selection of a board If
majority vote establishes it.
The petitions will be assembled
this week to determine If the re-
quired 20 per cent of qualified
voters, or approximately 5000, have
signed them.
In the event the required num-
Der do sign the constitutional pro-
vision says that the ballot shall be
so arranged as to permit the voter
to vote for or against the creation
of said charter board. but the vote
cast against said creation shall not
be held to bar the voter from ex-
pressing his choice among the
nominees for said board :"
Other constitutional provisions:
After filing properly signed pc
tition, it is mandatory for the
Board of Election Supervisors to
order the referendum.
Five to Be Elected.
The Board of County commission
ers may make nominations for the
charter board in not less than 40
days prior to the election and others
may nominate by petition contain
ing not less than S per cent of quail
fled w,tars not less than "a days
prior to the election The five re-
ceiving highest votes would be
elected.
If no more than five are nom
mated, their names shall not be
printed on the ballot but shall con-
stitute the charter board. The ref
erendum would be held, however.
A majority vote for or against the
charter board shall prevail
If the vote is in favor of the board.
that body must prepare a charter or
form of government for the county
and present it to the president of
the Board of County Commissioners
within six months after the Charter
Boards election. The president of
the commissioners must publish the
plan in at least two newspapers pub
llshed in the county within 30 days.

Lowly alopie
Must Serve or
be Scrapped!

MILWAUKEE,, July 81 - (P
- Merrill Stubs, chief OF the
automobile salvage section OF
the WPB conservation division,
said today that in war time
jalopy must either provide tram
sportation or be strapped.
He announced at the same
time that the war production
board. in collaboration with 9TH
er agencies concerned, had
adopted a policy for requisition-
ing old cars which are making
no contribution to the nation
transportation needs.
In an address prepared for a
convention of the American AS
ISOLATION of Motor Vehicle Ad-
ministrators, Stubs appealed to
every owner of an automobile
which is not providing transport
tation to lose no time in turn
ing it into scrap reclamation
channels.
"In q war economy" he said,
"all automobiles must be con-
sidered in one of two ways -
as transportation or as scrap, to
be sold at scrap prices"
Stubs explained that under
the requisition policy, where
necessary, any old car or truck
which remains in a condition OF
disrepair for 80 days, so that it
cannot practically be repaired,
may be requisitioned for scrap,
except in instances in which
good reasons are established for
other action.
Decisions on whether cars
will be requisitioned, he said,
would be mae by tn egrave-
yard section field force.
Stubbs reported that the WPB
program had brought about the
desired 60-day turnover OF
wrecks on hand in most of the
nations $4,000 au t O m b lie
Rraveyards. Stocks of junked
cars in wreckers' hands are con-
sequently only 40 per cent OF
what they were 60 days ago.
He said cars scrap value
was "the price of its secondary
metals, less handling and trans
portation costs, or about $3.50
to $500 per jalopy."

And then I'll bring it all on shore.
And then I'll make all barren

And every heart I'll fill with love,
And the good fruit they all shall

A perfect knowledge then of ME,

I'll cultivate the barren lands,
And the wild beasts shall silent

And all the earth I'll fill with

The storms and tempests shall be

No burning heat shall then appear,
But pleasant weathers bright and

No soaring frosts to chill your

Nor piercing cold as it hath stood,
But summers pleasant, winters

And man in heart I'll so beguile

ton is extended to all friends of

The NAACP should have been
financially able to make this step

day is the center of activity not

a large measure, the place where
decisions affecting the future of
the entire world are being made.
Long-range work and the holding
of mass meetings and other DEM
onstrations for steady pressure on
Washington are absolutely essen
tial. But the time, money and
energy put into activities outside
of Washington will not have their
maximum effect unless there is

the years has earned the respect
