Proceedings
Highlights OF Meeting
On Monday, April II

Since the adoption Of a resolu-
ton, on April IL, extending the
boundaries of the dog quarantine
to include all of Montgomery
County and procedure was outlined
for the vaccination of dogs against
rabies, much confusion and mis-
understanding has arisen on tho
part of dog owners as to the scope
and operation of the procedure with
regard to the vaccination.
Vaccination Not Compulsory
In a resolution offered this week
clarifying the rabies control pro-
gram the commissioners said:
at is not the intention of this
Board that the procedure for vacci-
nation of dogs against rabies be
compulsory, this procedure is
purely a voluntary one, and one
which it is hoped all dog owners
will take advantage of.
'This Board fully realizes the
serious threat to the lives, health
and welfare of the inhabitants Of
Montgomery County due to the
prevalence Of the dread disease of
Rabies in our midst, and would feel
remiss in its duty if it did not do
everything in its power, within
lawful bounds, to guard against the
spread of said disease, with the
least possible discontinue to the
owners of dogs, and this Board
feels it is the overwhelming desire
of the peoples Of Montgomery
County that their lives, health and
welfare be so protected"
1t was further resolved that
should it become necessary at any
time to take extreme measures in
destroying any dogs within Mont
gomery County that the greatest
possible care be exercised by those
engaged therein to the end that
no human lives be jeopardized in
any manner.
Meanwhile the Montgomery
County Farm Bureau, the county
health department and the State
Sanitary Livestock Service are
organizing groups throughout the
county to get the project started
Additional Rooms Asked for
Sherwood School
The Board was in receipt Of a
communication from the Young
Mems Club of st. Johns Church,
Olney. urging the addition Of at
least three rooms to the present
Sherwood Elementary School. The
matter was referred to the Board
Of Education for recommendation.
Policeman Reinstated
The Board reinstated Palmer L.
Hurd as an emergency policeman"
on the Montgomery County Police
Force; Officer Hurd's resignation
having been accepted last week,
effective as Of April 14th that he
might enter the United States

pended because he is over 26 years
old.
Chevy Chase Pool Asks Permit

from Chevy Chase Swimming Pool
Company Of Chevy Chase for a per-
NIT to operate the swimming pool

name for them. There is only
one big difference in their view
point and the viewpoint Of our
more liberal minds who are
willing to subscribe fully to the
Atlantic Charter and have a
world organization of which the
United States would be a most
important cog. These men fear
the possible loss Of some Of our
cherished national interests.
1t is a rather fine line Of dis
tinction but it is nevertheless
real. The next few years will
determine whether we will go
their way or become a part Of
the new world setup. We will
never, however, be led astray by
any of the arguments Of the
Lodges, Borahs, Johnsons, Nyes,
Wheelers, ct al. That we will
be a real party toward main
tanning peace is already in the
books.

for his endorsement of another
candidate for this years nomina.
ton.
Mr.. Walter, who is a Montgom-
cry county farmer, is distributing
pamphlets in which he attacks the
New Deal and sets forth the plat.
form on which he seeks the Sena-
torial nomination. In his letter 70
Mr.. TAFT, Mr.. Walter states that he
had intended filing for this years
nomination but changed his mind
and decided to wait until 1916 after
having talked with the chairman.
The letter, dated April ID, fol-
lows, in part:
"You will recall that several
weeks ago l called at your office
and introduced myself as farmer
from Montgomery county who was
about to announce his candidacy
for the Republican nomination fol-
United States Senator subject to
the coming primary of May 1.
"In the course of our very
limited conversation you assured
me of your neutrality in the mat.
ter. This appealed to me as fan
and eminently proper. / thereupon
announced my candidacy and my
reasons therefor in a rather toe
voluminous pamphlet of some %
pages.
"As the time limit for filing my
candidacy approached and the num-
Der of candidates had already as
sumed a sufficient proportion, de-
cided not to file as of the coming
primary, but to defer such action
until the next primary at which
another candidate will be chosen in
1916.

amazement and disappointment in
you, / am in receipt of a copy of
your endorsement of March 20,
1914, of the candidacy of Mr.. Blan-
chard Randall, Jr., Of Baltimore
for the very nomination to which
my original proposed announce
ment related.
"This is a grievous mistake you
have made, so grievous, in fact
that in my belief it would not only
be to the interest of harmony in the
Republican party but, more i'm
portant, to the interest Of our coun-
try in the matter Of Constititu-
tional government, that you tender
your resignation as chairman of the
Republican State Central Com
mittee."
