Civic Federation
Urges Adjustments
In Teachers Pay
Group Concerned Over
Number OF designations
Suggest Immediate In
creaSeS

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation held special meet
ing Monday evening in the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce building
in Washington, to consider the
65 bills introduced in the Assem-
bly, by the County delegation.
They heard a summary of all the
bills but took definite action on
only two.
That something must be done
to stop the designations of the
public school teachers of the
County was the unanimous opin-
ion Of the delegates, and three
point relief resolution was adopted.
1. Urging the Assembly to
provide adequate salary increases
for teachers in the 1915 budget.
2. Urging the county commits
sioners to make definite assur-
ances to the teachers as soon as
possible that the county will pro-
vide a minimum adjustment of
500 per month from December,
1914 through June 1, 1945, this
being the period not covered by
the Brice bill.
8. Urging the commissioners
to provide an additional financial
adjustment for the teachers be-
tween now and July 1, 1913.
The report was made by
Dwight Collins, chairman of the
Schools COMMITTEES, who pointed
out that 14S teAehevs have re-
signed from the county schools
since June and that 81 Of IS
teachers interviewed indicated
they will look for better paying
positions if immediate and con-
tinued financial relief IS not Sc
cured for the war period.
The Brice bill, it was explained
provides each teacher with $40
per month for 10 months begin
ming July 1. After that time, if
the county provides $113, the
State will supply an additional
$27 per teacher. If approved by
the county, he said, this would
take care of the situation through
November, 1914, but would leave
unsolved the problem of the
period from December 1914
through June, 1945.
The Executive and Advisory
committees of the Federation will
meet March 26 to consider other
bills on which special studies are
being made.

Red Cross Drive
Is Extended
To April 9TH
County Has Raised $4,000
OF $4,000 Quota-Some
Districts Shy

Mrs. Everett ]. Boothby, County
chairman of the Red Cross War
Fund Drive, announced on Tues
day that the drive would be extend
ed to April 7th, as few COM
munities had failed to reach their
quota, and only $4,000 of the Sat-
600 assigned Montgomery County,
had been reported up to noon that
day.
Laytonsville was the first up
county district to go over its quota,
with Germantown and Darnestown
next to report. Indications are
that by the end Of this week all
districts win have reached their
goal.
Rockville was little late get
ting started, but according to the
chairman, Mrs. Adolph GUIDE, the
response is very good, Mrs. Louis
J. Ryan working in the business
section reports that business firms
seem to feel it a privilege to con-
tribute and have increased their
gifts this year.
Convalescent patients and the
staff at Naval Medical Center in
Bethesda have raised around
$1,000.
That the Red Cross means much
to men in the service of their
country in the small services it
renders them, as well as in the
more spectacular things we read
OF, is shown by excerpts from let-
ters written his wife by Pfc. Rob-
ert 7. Cuff, Of Asnton:
"The paper / am writing on was
given us by the Red Cross mil
Ter and have found a place where
we can get real American made
doughnuts, and are they goodl"-
Il went to the Red Cross last night
had swell meal and saw a good
show"
$50 glad your Christmas flow
ers arrived in time, and that the
candy pleased you SO much. Thanks
to t.ie Red Cross we were able to
remember the folks back home in
small way"

Officials Of volunteer fire
departments have issued notice
to the public that the person
starting a fire is responsible
for it's control. 1t is pointed
out that in many cases people
start fires innocently enough
and do not give proper super
vision which all too frequently
develops into destruction OF
property.
The officials point out that
extra precautions should be
made this year because Of the

/ Might Be Wrong BUT
BY P. G. STROMBERG

to our daily lives that it cannot
fail to overshadow the larger
problem. And yet the world
picture is the one which should
have the greater attention.
Wars are seldom thrust upon
nations without warning. Like
the present war the seeds of
distrust with claims and coun-
ter-claims lead nations grad
ually to a point from which they
cannot withdraw. Because
most nations, like most indi-
viduals, detest war they will
follow the last thread of hope
of avoiding armed conflict. The
appeasement policy of Britain
and France during the late
thirties is an illustration of this
attitude. Thus it would seem
that former President Hoover's
suggestion of a cooling off period
before imposing final peace
terms might well prove the
means of avoiding repetition
of the present in the peace
terms of this war,
Prime Minister Churchill last
Sunday devoted most of his
speech to a discussion of plans
for rehabilitating England's
millions of returning soldiers
and war-workers. Plans for
domestic peace, tranquility and
hope for a better life are suf-
fcient to occupy our best minds.
Plans for world settlement must
await and must have approval
of the leading powers.
Our own problems we will
be able to debate and deter
mine among our
First Win selves. In the
The War; world picturss'we
Churchill cannot expect to
dictate terms to
others of the United Nations.
AS we will expect nations allied
with us to compromise so we
also will be obliged to compro-
mise.
Like Mr.. Churchill most Of
us want first to win the war.
We like to know that our top
men are giving thought to the
years following the Axis un-
conditional surrender. We have
not yet won the war. And
the day Of victory might be a
long way off. It is well
enough to think about tomor-
row but today's work must be
done. And today's work is
prosecution of the war without
stint.

100000 Hens In
Maryland-COunt En-!

The University of Maryland re-
ports that Maryland farms had
100000 laying hens on hand in
January, compared with 100000
in January 1912. The hens laid
100000 more eggs this January
than last and total production this
year was expected to exceed that
of 1912, a university spokesman
said.
From Virginia comes the tale of
another queer egg-this time an
egg within an egg, both perfect.
The outer egg slightly larger than
average and the inner the size of
a bantam egg.
