of five county election bills intro
duced in the State Senate by Sen
ator Thomas E. Hampton, Mont

Another of Mr.. Hampton's
measures would provide for the

Fourth Charter Board
Meeting Held Monday
In Gaithersburg

The fourth and last open meet
ing of the Montgomery County
Charter Board was held Monday
evening in Gaithersburg, and was
rather sparsely attended. Frederic
P. Lee presided.
Reporting for organization were
Mrs. Vestus Wilcox for the Mont
gomery County Federation of
Women's Clubs; Basil Mobley for
the Farm Bureau; Valentine Will
son for the County Association Of
Firemen and Mayor McCathran
for the town of Washington Grove.
Mrs. Wilcox, speaking she said,
not for the 1900 women of the Fed
Grafton but for the official board
of the Federation, favored a small
non-partisan council, an indepen-
dent controller and merit system.
Besides Mr.. Mobley, Lawson
King and 0. W. Anderson of the
Farm Bureau favored ten man
council-two from each commits
sioner district-and also favored
pay for the councilmen of S. per
diem-enough for expenses but not
large enough to attract politicians
they explained.
Mayor McCathran agreed with
the Farm Bureaus ideas on council
and merit system, but did not favor
the Brookings recommendations
for allotting gas for county roads.
John Larcombe, speaking as a
citizen Of Gaithersburg did not
favor a non-partisan council. Also
speaking for a few minutes were
Herman Wilson, Bates Etchison,
Frank Emmett, Henry Becraft.
Numerous questions came from the
floor. Many rural and metropolitan
problems were aired, many of them
not affected by charter.

Education Budget
Now At An-Time
High OF $1S,5OO,OOO
Appropriations For Public
Schools Under O'COnOr
Regime Grows Steadily

Total appropriations to public
schools, including Teachers Col
leges and State Department of
Education, in the three biennial
budgets submitted to the Legis-
lature by Governor Herbert r.
O'Conor, have been by far the
largest for this purpose in the
history of the State. Prior to
the O'Conor Administration the
largest biennial total appro-
priated for public education in
the State was $12,5OO, 100000, but
the last three budgets submitted
by Governor O'Conor have great
ly exceeded this total.
Public educational appropria-
tons for the 1940-1941 biennium
totaled $13,535, 4OO.24, and two
years later jumped to $780,
656.00, for 1942-43.
The budget for public educa-
ton now before the General
Assembly for consideration pro-
vides $16,716, 479.00, with an
additional $1,000, 100000 set aside
from the State surplus for
bonuses to the States 5000 school
teachers. This grand total of
more than $18,5OO,O 100000 is ap-
proximately $6,000,OO0.O0 more
than the largest amount ever
appropriated for education before
the present administration took
office.

Here Was TOPS
His Competent Leader
ship" Extolled--Atty. Gen.
Biddle Adds Commentator

Agreement has been voiced by
Council officials to Governor Her.
bert R. O'Conor, as President Of
the Council of State Governments,
that the recent Sixth General
Assembly ufrthe Council Of State
Governments in Baltimore was the
most successful General Assembly
the State officials have ever held
This success was due, the Governor
was advised by Executive Director
Frank Bane, ITO the hospitality of
the State of Maryland and the al
together competent and delightful
leadership of the President of the
Council of State Governments"
"You did a grand job" Mr.. Bane
wrote, "and particularly did your
address on Sunday night, as l am
certain you have noticed from the
newspapers, set the stage and ex-
press the keynote for everything
which was to follow.
"You have made and are making
a great contribution to the welfare
of our country in these trouble
some times, and we of the staff of
the Council of State Governments
want you to know what pleasure
and a privilege it is to work with
you"
Governor O'Conor was also
singled out by Francis Biddle, Az
torney General of the United
States, for commentator because
of his active work throughout his
term as Governor in furtherance of
Federal State cooperation. Mr.. Bid
die particularly complimented the
Maryland Chief Executive for his
leadership on Defense measures
which were the outgrowth of ses-
sions held by the Department Of
Justice and by the Council Of State
Governments beginning in August
of 1910.

New Fire Signal
In Montgomery Is
Three Short Blasts

The time-honored long siren
blast which volunteer fire COM
panies of Maryland sound to
mobilize their members will have
to be shelved for the duration.
The signal conflicts with the
new blue warning afraid alarm
that goes into effect February II.
Montgomery County fire chiefs
adopted resolution Sunday
recommending that the county
fire alarm signal be three short
siren blasts. The action came
at a meeting to discuss new fire
signals, needed because Of the
new East Coast air raid signals.
The chiefs asked Judge Albert
E. Brault, county civilian defense
director, who met with them, to
present the recommendation to
Brig. Gen. John T. Lewis, COM
manding general Of the military
district of Washington. The new
afraid regulations, that go into
effect February IT, bar the use
of any signals that might be
confused with afraid warnings.
The resolution points out that
"the volunteer firemen must be
called to their firehouse when
the alarm is received by some
signal system audible through
out their respective communities"
Auxiliary policemen, auxiliary
firemen and air raid wardens are
being acquainted with the new
regulations at three area-wide
meetings to be held this week.
Representatives Of the commander
of the Military District Of Wash
ington will speak at the sessions.

Farmers Group

Food Production
Discuss Farm Labor Prob
lens Gas Ration Defer
ment Status

The discussion group of the
Farm Bureau in a meeting held
February 4th at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. John H. Small, III, in
Laytonsville, showed that Mont
gomery County farmers are keenly
alive to their responsibilities in
the Food will win the War" pro-
gram.
Topics chosen for consideration
were: manpower; change of re-
quirements for exemption of farm
labor from the draft; priority on
the purchase of farm machinery;
farm credit; and work or fight bill.
Requirements necessary to defer
one man for farm labor were
changed in January, it was ex-
planned by County Agent o. w.
Anderson, not by changing the
yardstick, but by reducing the units
per man as low as 8, if the local
draft board sees fit. The group
commended P. c. Turner, chairman
Of the Farm Labor committee for
asking for reconsideration of the
requirements, which cause no hard
ship to dairy farmers but hit hard
the general farmer.
The group decided to ask Mr..
Turner to discuss the whole system
at the Northeast Regional Con-
ference being held this week in
New York, and suggested that he
back plan to set up new sys-
tenn on basis Of poahds cfspro
duction rather than units.
The group also recommended for
discussion at the Regional confer
ence a fairer method of rationing
gas to farmers-less to those near
transportation facilities,-more to
those in isolated places.
Ulysses Griffith, a member of
the discussion group was COM
mended for his part in presenting
10 the Assembly a Work or Fight
Bill.
Among Marylanders attending
the conference in New York this
week are Mrs. Edwin Fry, presi-
dent of Maryland Associated
Women of the Farm Bureau, and
DIR. R. B. Corbett, president of the
Northeast Dairy Conference. DR..
Corbett who has just been named
consultant on rural problems for
the OPA, will talk on "Prices and
Plans"
