Heat-breaking rain and hail
storms with high winds during the
weekend felled number of trees
leveled gardens and caused several
accidents in the county. During the
storm Monday evening which up
rooted large trees near Reeds
garage in Rockville and on the
Fair Grounds, a large sign blown
from a nearby establishment, hit
an employee of A. G. Watkins,
Theodore Gates fracturing mis-
skull. Mr.. Gates is at Suburban
Hospital, where he was reported
"a little better" yesterday.
Almost gale-like in proportions
the storms brought quick changes
in temperatures which had ranged
through the low COS during the
week and reached a high of 81 or
Friday. No all time records were
broken by the heat but suffering
was intensified by the high humid,
ity, and the fact that the previous
week had broken the record fol-
cold in June.
Besides making a good topic fol
conversation the heat greatly &C

The Government needs and asks
its citizens in the 185th week of the

of men, ships or materials TO or

voice would be raised in sup
port of the new peace effort.
We just can't afford to be even
tolerant of new Senator Lodge.
We have suffered enough and
our boys of this generation have
been required to give their lives
to attain what the boys of 1917
and 1918 fought and died for.
The time is approaching when
the final touch will be given to
the purpose for which the pres
ent war has been fought. The
test will be when the U. S. SEN
ate is asked to ratify the peace
plan evolved at San Francisco.

Trayilah Area
Residents Seek
improvements
Association Formed To Pro-
mote General Welfare And
Stimulate Appreciation Of
Scenic Potomac

ONShA( OOOANaO
Landowners of the Travilah,
Darnestown, Seneca, Glen and ad-
jacent sections of Montgomery
County have inaugurated a move
ment TO form an association design
ed to promote the general welfare
of the area within a radius of
miles of Travilah, and to stimulate
appreciation of the Potomac River.
Approximately 40 property owners
met Friday night at the Travilah
Church to discuss plans for the
organization of the group.
William C. Hanson was authoriz-
ed to form a committee of resi-
dents to study aims and accom-
plishments of neighboring civic
groups, and to prepare articles of
Incorporation for an organization.
The committee is to report at a
meeting in August.
A member of the committee
said, at is widely acknowledged
fact that the Maryland side of the
Potomac River has been slow in
development. That is, no doubt,
due to the lack of modern high
ways and, particularly, to the fact
that the River Road the Sugar
Land Road of the days of yore :
is in worse condition today than
it was in the horse and buggy days
in the early years of colonial de-
velopment". In the opinion of all
residents in this section, the most
pressing and immediate need is the
improvement of the River Road
from Potomac to Seneca.
at is the first order of business
of The River Road Association TO
press this matter with the county,
state, and federal authorities with
all requisite diligence to bring
about the long overdue improve
ment of the River Road.

On behalf of the County Com.
missioners Alfred d. Moves, presi-
dent, issued the following state
ment this week:
"An important and healthy pub
lie discussion of next years budget
is now going on in the county, and
the County Commissioners want
all the people of the county to be
accurately informed concerning
this situation.
"There has been no large build
ing construction in Montgomery
County for the past several years,
and accordingly this usual source
of increased county tax revenue is
not available this year to absorb
increases in county operating
costs.
"The County Commissioners an
| nounced on May 20 that we would
not raise the basic county tax rate
of $1.50, and that we were deter
mined to pay off next year 5000, 900
worth Of maturing county bonds.
"By eliminating several Of last
years appropriations and BY re-
ducing the amount to be levied for
the County Commissioners contin-
gent fund we provided all of $685.
900 of new operating money recon-
mended by the County Board of
Education and DIR. Broome to pay
the salaries of 81 additional school
teachers and to pay all of the
teachers salary increases author
lied by new state law, as well as
to provide the annual increase
which each Montgomery County
school teacher receives, and to fur
ther continue the emergency Pc
riod bonus paid to each county
school teacher from County funds.
"The Board of County Commits
sioners then recommended for the
tentative budget the same appro-
priation for each county depart
ment that was made for that ac-
tivity in the current years budget,
and at the same time included in
the tentative budget and county
levy for next year $145,000 of un-
allocated money, with which we
have stated publicly on several
occasions we will continue all es-
sential existing services and in
crease the services that we regard
as vitality necessary.
eve believe that this record is
wise, economical and constructive.
While we have not provided part
Of the increased operating funds
asked by different county depart
ment heads, we are holding on
hand enough money to provide the
essentials, and the Board OF Coun-
ty Commissioners is reserving it's
statuary responsibility 20 study
and then vote upon these requests,
which is the responsibility that the
State law and the State constitu-
ton place upon the County Com
missioners."
Mr.. Noyes further stated:
ain connection with the county
school budget, we are about to levy
total amount Of the 81 446,1
for school operating costs next
year, which is more than one-half
of the total operating budget Of
the county, and includes the $780,
900 needed TO meet all increases
in teachers salaries. We have not
provided $62,444.4 Of other Board
of Education recommendations,
$4,000 Of which included the fol-
lowing items; janitors' salaries,
$4,000; additional cost Of fuel
and light, $4,000; three new
school buses and additional trans
portation costs, $4,000; additional
appropriations for school libraries,
$1,000; salaries Of additional clerks
and stenographers, $4,000.
