Welfare Units
Merged With
County Chest
Combined Organization To
Be Known AS Montgomery
County Community Chest :
Council

A plan of organization to COM
bine the programs of the Mont
gomery County Community Chest
and the county's Social Welfare
Council has been unanimously &C.
copied by the boards of directors
of these two organizations, in &C.
cordance with an announcement
made by j. Harry WEIGH and Mrs.
MINER Hostetler, presidents, re-
spectively, of the two agencies.
The name of the combined or
ganization will be the Montgom-
cry County Community Chest
Council. The leaders assert this
is a step forward in bringing to-
gether the county's social financ-
ing and social planning under one
administrative organization"
The Social Welfare Council is
not new agency in Montgomery
county since it has been func-
tioning as a planning organiza-
ton for a number of years, but its
plans have not always been car
ried out because of lack of funds.
With the organization last summer
of the County Community Chest,
it is now possible for sound social
planning and financing to go hand
in hand.
The plan which the two agen-
cies have accepted -.was presented
by a planning committee represents
ing the Chest and the Council to
consider the relationship between
the two organizations. Serving on
the Committee with Mrs. James
Parker Nolan, who acted as chair
man, were Mrs. Walter E. Perry,
Walter Elliott, William N. Nor
rell, Mrs. MINER Hostetler, j.
Harry WEIGH, Miss Ruth Bolton,
and DIR. Dexter Billiard. This
group has been requested to con-
tinue to serve until complete
merging of the two agencies is ac-
complished.

Mrs. George d. Selby, president
of the Gaithersburg Library AS
ISOLATION, writes:
"We people who live in Gath
ersburg take our pretty town very
much for granted, and don't real
ize that it is not really small
town, but quite a stable one, in
which the need of a library is
felt. We, in the past, have relied
on the District of Columbia entire
ly too much-and this has been
made evident since the rationing
of gas. At the present time, with
amusements curtailed by the alb
sence of means Of transportation,
it is almost imperative that some
thing be done to help the reading
public secure their favorite means
of escape-a good book. And So
the Gaithersburg Free Public Ii
brary will reopen on Monday,
July 31st, 1914.
"There is no need to urge people
to patronize a library. If it is a
good library, it is its own best adj
vertisement. So we hope to make
our library a good library-to keep
abreast of the times and trends,
and to supply our patrons with the
reading matter they request-and
in order to do this we must have
suggestions, from time to time,
from those who use the library.
Juvenile delinquency those
dreaded words that are popping
up so often these days wherever
people who think are gathered
has not become matter of note
here in our town, but it could east
ly become such. While a library
will not solve the problem or go
all the way toward avoiding its
becoming a matter Of Importance,
It is one Of the agencies that can

NEWS from the European

encouraging nature for the past
week that we are apt to become
too optimistic. 1t should be

difficulties encountered by the
Nazis on the home front, we

Optimistic Goebbels h a s
seen fit to re-
lease and realize that he re-
leases only as much as will sat
isfy the demands of the people
of Germany. Much of the news
might well have been overstated
in a calculated design to confuse
the Allied command and yet 1T
is likely that the releases were
understated if, in fact, condl-
tions are as bad as pictured.
Only time will tell. Prime Min
lister Churchill's statement that
the German phase Of the war
might be over sooner than ex-
pected is the only official state
ment made which can be ac-
cepted as founded on real infor-
nation.
Should Germany suddenly col
lapse great problems will be
thrust upon our forces Of occu-
patton. Officials of the Allied
Military Government will be
scattered all over Germany and
her satellite countries. How well
we mEnage affairs for people OF
the occupied countries viii deter
mine their attitudes toward the
great Allied powers for years
to come. Great stress has been
placed on this phase of victory
and the experiences in North
Africa and Italy should furnish
real guides for the big occupa-
ton.
That there is serious difficulty
ON the German home front can
not be much questioned. Hitler's

Accepting the critical state Of
affairs as being true it remains
only a matter Of time for
the Nazis to be overthrow. With
all the power vested in the few
bigwig Nazis the Greater Reich
appears much like the crumbling
empire in 1918. The army con-
tinues to present a solid exter-
Tor while the hollow and ex-
hausted interior takes a daily
toll which must soon force the
army leaders to admit the utter
impossibility of offering further
resistance. Despite the evident
hold that Hitler has maintained
it has been contended by many
that, if the time came when the
Generals could see no possible
chance Of victory they would find
a way of getting out of the war
without useless sacrifice. The
time for this phase Of the war
has arrived and while the first
