Charter Group Hits
Montgomery Bond
Bill as Hodge-Podge

The Montgomery County Charter
Committee today described the
S., 900 900 bond authorization bill for
postwar construction in Montgomery
County, now before Gov. O'Conor,
as a "hodge-podge and a poor sub
Stitute for a measure which could
be enacted later when the facts are
known and the costs could be eSti-
mated with some degree of accuracy"
Answering a recent statement by
Lacy Shaw, president of the County
Commissioners, that approval by the
Governor of request by the Charter
Committee that the bill be vetoed
would result in 40 per cent increase
in the county tax rate, the committee
declared
1T is apparent from Mr.. Shaw's
statement that he has no real un-
derStanding of the basic objections
by the Charter Committee to the
bill, although he heard these objec-
| tionS presented to the county's
representatives in the State LegiSla-
ture"
Deferred Bonds Not Banned.
One of the many defects in the
bill, according to the Charter Com
mittee, is the lack of any prohibi-
ton against the issuance of de-
ferred bonds. This would permit
issuance of all the bonds in such
manner that the first installment
on them would not be paid for many
years, the committee asserted.
Such practices in the past are
responsible for the fact that so much
Of our annual budget must 60 to-
ward paying interest" the commit
tee said. "An example is the $4,000
bond issue in 1927 to defray the cost
of the county Jail. The first in
stallment has not yet been paid and
does not become due until 1855. AS
a result of this highly improper
practice, the interest on these bonds
will amount to some $4,000, a fig
ure substantially in excess of the
principal
Another objection made by the
committee to the bill is that there
is no requirement to make the bonds
"callable" at any time. Because of
the lack of such provision in pre-
vious bond issues, the committee
explained. county taxpayers are
paying annually between 100000
and 100000 more than they would
have to pay if the bonds could have
been called and new securities
issued at the current low interest
rates.
Further INTO Hole"
In reply to Mr.. Shaw'S declaration
that veto of the bill would prevent
the commissioners from refunding
bonds maturing in the next "a
months. thus requiring an increase
in the tax rate, the committee said:
I'm making this statement. Mr.
Shaw is admitting that the county,
as administered at present, is not
able to pay off the bonds which
were issued for the presumed life of
the assets, as those bonds become
due. AS an alternative, he asks
that the county put itself still
further into the financial hole"
The committee also charged that
the bonds would be used by county
Democrats in their fight to defeat
the Charter movement. The group
added that ifEa real" county home
rule bill had been passed by the

Legislature, there would have been
no conceivable justification" for
enacting any bond bill at Anna
polls.
1T is clear to everyone" the COM
mittee stated. that If 1t becomes
feasible to begin postwar construc-
ton prior to January, 1947, the date
of the next regular session of the
Legislature, there will be a special
session to consider such conStruc-
ton throughout the State and the
means of financing it.
1T would be much better to de-
eide at that future time on the de-
tails of such construction and the
necessary costs, than to give at this
time a blanket approval of all sorts

minutes in a solution made by dis
solving heaping teaspoon of baking
soda in pint of water for each
dozen rubbers to be treated. The
rubbers should be rinsed well be-
fore using. When asked about this,
Miss Kimbrough stated that she had
used no rubbers which needed such
treatment, but that boiling in soda
could do no harm and might do some
good if the rubbers seem to have an
unusual amount of odor. She eau
toned against stretching rubbers to
test them. This rule also applies to
pre-war rubbers. 1t is false econ

thus remained a custom to play
"games of chance" on Chanukah
while it would be prohibited up
on other occasions.
QUESTION: What do the in
scribed letters represent on the
''Dreidel?" Why is the top call
ed '.Dreidel?"
ANSWER: The top is called
"Dreidel" because it stems from
the German word "dreinhen"
which means ''to turn or ito
spin" It has four sides each
of which is inscribed with the
four letters: Nun, Gimel, Heb,
Shien, respectively. These let
tiers have a two-fold significance.
They spell the first letters of
four words ''Nes Gadol Haydn
Shom" which means: a great mir
acle happened there" In this
respect the little top is a remind
er of the miracle. They may also
represent four German words;
NIGHTS, gans, halb, steel, which
mean: nothing, all, half, put, in
dicating the gains and losses of
the play.
QUESTION: Why is it custO-
mary to eat cheese delicacies on
Chanukah.
ANSWER: The explanation for
this custom is usually connected
with the story of Judith, who, &C
cording to the story, was a daugh-
ter of the Hasmoneans, who fed
cheese to the leader of the Jew
ish foes in a successful attempt
to make him thirsty beyond con-
troll in response to which he
drank much wine. He then be-
came drunk and she beheaded
him and carried off his head in
a sack. The feat encouraged the
defenders and discouraged the
enemy who lost courage and fled
before the Jews. AS a reminder
of this brave feat performed by
a daughter of Israel, we still serve
cheese delicacies on Chanukah.
QUESTION: Why do we eat
'1atkeS" on Chanukah?
ANSWER: The reason for this
custom is quite obscure. Most
authors contend, however, that
either Judith served the tryrant
cheese latkes" or "cheese cakes"
Or that the feat was first observ-
ed by serving them on Chanukah.
