post Publicity Officer

AS it draws nearer the time for
them to move to their new quar-
ters, members of Roosevelt Post
No. 80 American Legion are putt
ing forth an ever greater effort
to secure new members.
It should be the desire and pride
Of every veteran to belong to a le-
gion post. For it opens avenues
for him that might stay closed
were it not for this connection.
Having served the colors, hav-
ing risked his life in defense Of
lbs country, the sight of the legion
button on his coat lapel and the
mere presenting of his member
ship card can work wonders in Sc
curing for him considerations that
otherwise might be denied him.
Furthermore a legion post is
more than just a pleasure loving
organization. Rather it is an or
/! ~ganization that carries a great
civic and benevolent responsible
ity on it's shoulders as well as
having a political potency so great
candidates dare not ignore it when
| seeking election to some local.
state or national office. There
fore being a member of a legion
!! post really means something to a
veteran.
So join up now and help Roose-
welt Post reach this years goal IN

Joseph Simpson Serves
Warning On Those Who
Refuse To Work - Asks

The following statement was
issued this week by States Attor-
ney Joseph Simpson:
"The work or fight bill provides
that every able-bodied man be-
tween the ages of sixteen and six
ty, who is not in the Armed Forces
or who has not received his notice
to report for induction, or who is
not on duty as a member of the

fide student in a school or other
educational institution, who is not

supported by other people.
"Ihe penalty upon conviction
for violating this law is by fine
not to exceed $4,000, or imprison-

Teachers Bonus
Being Considered
BY Commissioners
Board Promises Earnest
Consideration" of Proposal
800 Additional Asked
Total Cost $4,000

The County Commissioners at
their meeting on Tuesday took
under consideration a recommen-
dation from the Board of Edu-
cation that each county school
teacher be paid a 800 wartime
bonus in five monthly install
ments, beginning Immediately.
This would mean that the COM
missioners would have to appro-
pirate $4,000 in addition to the
regular county levy for the cur
rent school year TO provide the
bonus.
A statement issued by the COM
missioners declared they would
earnestly study the recommenda-
tions and also study the county's
financial ability to furnish the
emergency increases. At the
same time the Board suggested
that county residents review the
salary situation.
The average salary Of Montgom-
cry County teachers for the year
which ended in June, 1871 was
1872, according to the state
ment. This figure was the high
est average teachers salary of
any of the % counties in the
State. Since that time the teach
ers have received increases which
have brought the average salary
for the current year to 81 ,887,
for teachers who have continued
in the service since June, 1871.
In the prepared statement by
the Commissioners the entire sub
ject Of schools and teachers sal
aries was reviewed. The commits
sioners point out the high stand
ing of the schools of Montgomery
County and the liberal appropria-
tions made in recent years. The
concluding paragraph follows:
"It Is with a deep determination
to continue TO provide adequate
financial support to the county
school system, which Of course in
cludes adequate teachers salar-
les, that will we will continue
our studies of the entire situa-
tion. A necessary part Of those
studies will be to receive the
recommended budgets Of the
County Board of Education and
other county departments for the
coming year."

State And County
Offices Have Moved

Both the Welfare Board and the
Farm Bureau have now moved in
to their new Offices in the County
Office Building in Rockville, once
the High School Building.
The Welfare Board vacated
rooms in the courthouse, and the
Farm Bureau and its various de-
partments, moved from the Farm
ers' Banking and Trust Building.
The Health Department and its
many sections had preceded them
by several weeks, and is now once
more housed under the one roof.

Bonds and Second War Loan
Securities.
1t is not only necessary that
the American pepole left here at
home assume this additional par
ticipation in the war effort-it is
an honor to do so for
we here at home can do no less
than attempt to approach the
sacrifices Of our brave men out
on the fighting fronts to whom
the last great measure of sacri-
flee is but daily offering. They
give their lives we are asked
only to lend our money.
And that is the theme of the

Montgomery County's quota
has not been made public. The
County's quota in the December
campaign was $1,9OO,0OO.00 and
this months quota will probably
be considerably larger. The bonds
are on sale at all Of the banks
in Montgomery County and Mr.
Green and his Committee hopes
to have as wide a general distri-
button as possible. Mr.. Green
pointed out to his assistants Sun
day that "it is hard to believe
that there is not a single wage
Garner in Montgomery County who
could not buy at least one Series
E War bond costing $18.75. With
every man and woman in Mont
gomery County doing his part, the
Committees task, while huge
one, should not be impossible OF
accomplishments"
High Government officials have
pointed out that the nation must
not fail in this duty to our men
on the battle fronts who are now
carrying the offensive to the
enemy at every stage. It il
obvious to every thinking man
and woman that as the United
Nations take this offensive against
the dictators, the cost of wal
operations increases in proper
ton.
The American people must nc
longer think of war costs in terms
Of equipping a soldier, building q
tank or plane or a ship. We must
now think in terms of the cost
of battles, invasions and new
offensives. Attacking armies cost
more money than equipping that
army and we must meet that in
creased cost by buying more War

obstacles only tend to kindle
the fires Of ambition in the hearts
Of men worth while"
Montgomery County sentinel., 1943-04-08

With the draft digging deeper
into the reservoirs of previously
deferred groups and with the
many regulations and ration
ing it is impossible not to rec
ognize the wars
America effect on our daily
Now War lives. This, OF
Conscious course, does not
take into consid-
Grafton the millions of homes
where one or more members of
the family are already in the
service. It is the consciousness
which should have prevailed
long ago but which only time
and pressure could produce. 1t
is this attitude of the public
which gives place to such full
and complete discussion of
"after the war" problems. This,
coupled with the unexpressed
conviction that the end of the
war is imminent, makes plan
ming for the hard days sure to
follow the unconditional sur
render" rather more of an obli-
CATION than a dream.
Many people, however, feel
that postwar planning should
be a job done without fanfare.
This work should be secondary
to prosecution of the war.
"All out" effort to bring the
postwar period about should be
the constant aim Of all. When
Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito
have been brought to terms we
viii have six months time in
which to publicize the plans for
absorbing our returned soldiers
I and war workers to regular
places in our new economy. The
war is our job-the postwar
period will be our recreation.
There is no question in the
minds of military leaders that
this war will be decided by air
power. Germany's early bttz-
Ecrieg successes resulted almost
wholly from the use of Stuka
dive bombers and other fighter
planes with their horror and
destruction. But, many are
asking, where is the great su-
periority of German airpower
today? There are many esti-
mates of the reason for the
slowing down Of the Germans
in the air. The most logical
seems to be lack Of sufficient
gasoline and oil. 1t takes thou
sands upon thousands Of gal
Ions of gasoline to maintain
large force of act
Yer Iss i've planes. One
Der bomber will con-
Luftwaffe sumo several hum
dred gallons of
gasoline in an hour. A raid
employing hundreds Of bombers
Z for several hours flying will
consume hundreds Of thousands
Of gallons of gasoline. So
shortage Of fuel might well be
the answer. On the other hand
Germany, not to be outdone by
Britain, might conceivably be
absorbing all the punishment of
bombing in a determination to
conserve both fuel and planes
for a surprise attack or for the
day when the inevitable invas-
ion Of Europe begins.
The same question is often
posed with regard to the pres
ent known high position of air
power of the United States.
Where is all this great air
power? Is shortage of fuel also
limiting our efforts? Is it pos
sible that production Of fighter
planes has kept well ahead of
training Of pilots? Are we
holding in reserve a great num-
ber of planes to be used in an
annihilating attack on Europe
when M day arrives?
We can't possibly know the
answer to such questions? We
can hope that the best features
are gone. We do know chat
our ability to turn out bombers
and fighter planes has placed
the United Nations far ahead
Of the Axis. We also know that
we are turning out well trained
p'lots by the items Of thousands"
