produce results, although none of
them as yet, reported that they
have reached their quotas. DR..
Edwin w. Broome, County Super

a larger portion than any other
volunteer solicitor and most of the
schools are planning to hold patrio-
tic programs in the interest of the
Drive, with most of them scheduled

County, headed by Bradley M.
Woodfield, held a meeting Tuesday
evening to plan a huge community

ing will be announced later.
The people of the Gaithersburg
area, headed by Leonard H. Hoyle,
are arranging Victory celebration
to be held at Gaithersburg Nov
emter Is when the massed choirs
Of all churches of the community
will provide special music.
In commenting on the Drive this
week, Fred L. Lutes, Chairman of

gomery County has made an en-
viable reputation in the sale of
more than $25,000,OO0 worth of
War Bonds during the War. The
current quota is only $2,500,00O
and | would like to impress upon
all of the people that we still have
an unfinished duty to perform.
There are about eight million men
and women still in service who
must be returned to their homes

by next July and this alone ought
to be enough reason to subscribe to
the current War Bonds. Aside from
this, and all other reasons for buy
ing bonds, however, is the fact that
they are still a prime investment.
Three issues in the current Drive
will probably not again be avail
able to the investing public. These
are the one year %96 Certificates
of Indebtedness, the seventeen year
81 % Treasury Bond and the
twenty-seven year 2-1seo Treasury
Bond. l urge all investors to go to
their banks, Post Offices or thea
tiers at once and place their orders
for these securities rather than to
tax the facilities of the issuing
agents in the closing days of the
Drive"

Recreation Center, Bethesda.
Colonel Henry C. Stanwood,
State Director of Selective Ser
vice states, "Our Local Boards
have indicted large number of
men into the Armed Forces during
the last five years. Now we are
ready to assist these same men in
reestablishing themselves in civil
ian life if they want or need our
assistance.
Congress has provided many
rights, privileges and benefits for
ex-service men and women. These
rights and benefits are provided by
many different laws and are adj
ministered by number of different
Government agencies. 1t is the
purpose of our Veterans Informa-
ton Centers to aid the veteran in
getting to the right place and OBJ
tanning the right information so
that he may take advantage of all
benefits to which he is entitled"
The Centers will assist the veter-
an who wishes reinstatement in
his old job, or who prefers new
job. They will also save the
veteran time and trouble in con-
nection with his insurance, G. l.
Loans, educational opportunities,
etc. The Local Boards are an
xious to have every veteran feel
free to call upon them for help.

Democrats Elated
Over Gain In
New Registration

The Democrats showed a net
gain of 1853 in the declared aft
liations of new County voters who
registered for the first time dur
ing the month of October and the
first three days of November.
2438 affiliated as Democrats while
$40 declared their utilization as
Republican. 167 declined to afr
late or described themselves as
Independents or as in several in
stances as Socialist.
Democrats are particularly
cheerful over the results of the
new registrations in which new
voters declared their individual
preference for the Democratic
party in a ratio of 21a to over
the Republican Party. Local
Democrats point out that this
trend not only decidedly strength
ems the position of the Democratic
party in the County but shows an
entire lack of a local political
movement in any other direction.
Democrats say that the new reg
istration in Silver Spring and the
Glen Echo Cabin John section
confirms the belief that along with
Colesville and a number of north
ern and central county districts
these sections will continue to
prove the strongest support of the
Democratic candidates in next
years November election.

Merit System
Soon To Be
Put In Effect


Commissioners Name Sal
airy Fixing Board. Appoint
ments Made; designations
Accepted
10 v. Morgan, Civil Service
Commissioner for Montgomery
County appeared before the County
Commissioners on Tuesday and
outlined plans for the establish
ment of merit system including
classification and salary scales to
be inaugurated by January I, 1916.
At his request salary fixing
board, comprising Mr.. Morgan,
Willard F. Day, County Super
visor and Alexander X. Hancock,
County Comptroller, was appoint
ed. Smiles passed around the
board room when Mr.. Morgan
gravely stated that if he alone
fixed the salaries and ratings, he
would "dare not walk the streets.
The newly appointed Board will
work with department heads in
setting salaries and making plans
for promotions. The Commissioners
took under consideration Mr.. Nor
gan's recommendation that the IA
cilities Of the State Employment
Commission, which are available
to any municipality, in the state
upon request, be employed in set
ting up the machinery for the
system.
The State Employment Com
mission has furnished Mr.. Morgan
with an estimate Of the actual ex-
penses incident to the use of its
facilities in connection with the
classification Of two hundred en-
ployees. This number covers all
the county employees except those
in the Police Department, who are
already classified, and the labor
ers whose classification is some-
what automatic. The first COM
petitive examinations would be
held in January.
If the facilities Of the Maryland
Commission are not used, Mr.. Nor
gan is of the opinion that class
flying county employees will cost
more money than would be requir-
ed by the Maryland Commission,
and would also involve the loss of
valuable advice and assistance, and
delay in final completion of the
new set up.
The resignation of Miss Ruth
Shoemaker Of the Bethesda area,
a former member Of the House Of
Delegates, was accepted. Miss
Shoemaker, who worked in the
Courthouse during the war emer-
gency, was commended by the Com
missioners for doing "fine job
and letter of appreciation was
ordered sent her.
Mason w. Gray Of Poolesville
was reinstated as a county police
man. He had been on military
cave with the Coast Guard.
Frank L. Hewitt, Jr., was also
reported returned from military
cave. AS member Of the Board
If Assessors, his salary jumped
$4,000 in the absence. Members
If the Assessment Board now re-
'eive $4,000 annually.
Extra money was ordered spent
or drainage at the Rockville Ele-
nentary and the Silver Spring
Intermediate Schools, where water
vas said to be running into cafe
erias and other basement rooms.
A report from Mrs. Dorothy
kurtz showed the estimated ex.
'enses Of the County Welfare
Board for November, would be
4, $4,000.

Men OF

Cannot Fail


their own program be adopted and
every phase of the other sides
program be rejected the country
will face a period Of strife the
results of which one hesitates to
imagine.
This conference MUST deliver
an answer to the problems of
our postwar economy. Men of
goodwill cannot fail. Only stub
bornness and refusal to COM
promise the most controversial
subjects can cause failure. And
when the men taking part in
this conference realize that there
is developing real impatience on
the part of the public they will
be even more likely to resolve their
differences. For unless 2 work
able and "Strikeless' agreement
is reached Congress will very
probably push through one of
the several measures already in
troduced which will give Govern
ment the right to intercede.
