Innovation For
Caithersburu
As Panel Result

An outgrowth of a panel dis
cussion of the Gaithersburg P-TA
last winter, in which laymen and
representatives of the various de-
examinations took part, will be in
ssugurated in the Gaithersburg
Public School this fall when
weekday religious instruction will
be given pupils.
By the plan the school has
agreed to release the children Of
the Bird, 4th, and 5th grades for
one hour each week, when they
will CORA grade at time-to the
nearest church, for religious in
struction under trained teacher
provided by the Maryland Della
ware Council of Religious Educa-
ton.
Only those pupils whose par
ents sign their approval will be
admitted to the classes Those who
do not take the religious instruc-
tion will continue in the school
building for study period, or an
elective study.
The churches feel this is a de-
finite forward step in community
life since the children will receive
religious training from a skilled
instructor of children; because re-
ligion will tend to become more
naturally part of week day life;
and because many children not
touched by the churches are like
ly to take the instruction.
Churches cooperating are, Ep-
worth Methodist Church, Flower
Hill Church of the Brethren,
Grace Methodist Church, Melon
aid Methodist Chapel, Neelsville
Presbyterian Church. st. Luke's
Lutheran Church and the Wash
ington Grove Methodist Church.

Sandy Spring
Hospital Asks
Contributions

The Women's Board of Mont
gomery County General Hospital
near Sandy Spring, has started
a campaign for funds for the in
stitution. Contributions are being
sent to Edith B. Thomas, Ednor,
Md.
Believing that an institution
dedicated to the saving of lives
should be among the first to sup
port a food conservation pro-
gram, in times when millions face
starvation, the Women's Board in
March decided to abandon tenta-
five plans to resume the Hospital
Supper. This supper was an out
standing event of summer in pre-
war days over 1900 suppers
we're served in 1871.
At cost of $4,000 the Wom-
ems Board has recently bought
new equipment and made altera-
tions and additions which include,
a modern kitchen, large enough to
care for future expansion, and
much needed storage space. The
diet kitchen and drug room were
also enlarged.
In addition to such major pro-
jects, the Women's Board, made
up of one hundred women from
all sections of the county, assumes
the obligation to provide each
year a definite percentage of the
running expenses of the hospi-
tai. 1t plans too, to assist with
the building of an addition to the
hospital.
At the time it was established,
the hospital was unique - there
was no yardstick by which it
might be organized. Despite its
name Montgomery County Cen
eral Hospital is not a County
hospital" but is privately owned.
II has had no Federal grants but
has been supported by the resi-
dents of the county who put up
the money to build it rs years
ago, together with the proceeds
Of the annual supper and dona-
ton day.
Built by the side of the road
twenty miles from Washington
and thirty two miles from Balti-
more, the hospital is situated in
grove of trees on a small farm.
II is of forty bed capacity and is
said to be one of the best equipped
rural hospitals in the country.

movement has achieved by long years of struggle the Executive Council said.
 Labor must rise to the emer- gency by asserting it's political pow CT in the elections next November. The Executive Council calls for the full and active cooperation of all affiliated organizations and all un- ion members in securing the elec- ton of new Congress which will honestly and faithfully carry out the will of the American people,"
 At it's opening session the Coun- cil met with a delegation of labor leaders from Greece, representing the Greek Federation of Labor, who appealed for help in obtaining relief for their people. They said there is crying need for old shoes and clothing. A Greek worker has to work 30 days to earn enough to pay for a pair of shoes in that in- f1ation-riddled country, the delega- ton reported. They also charged that rival, Communist-dominated labor movement in Greece had ex- ecuted 45O trade union leaders in the Left Wing uprising a year ago.
 AFL President William Green told reporters that the Federation would organize a campaign to send relief packages to Greek workers.

urging that local unions, State Fed erations of Labor, and city central bodies appoint special campaign committees to see to it that the qualified voters among the seven million AEL members and their friends register and vote in the congressional elections this year.
 The AFL leaders emphasized that the Federation will continue to fol- low its norpartisan political policy and not ally itself with any poli- tical party.
 Underscoring the national emer- gencies brought about by the fail ures of the last Congress, the Ex- ecutive Council listed these speci- fic points:
 1. That millions of American workers have been condemned to substandard living conditions be- cause a few members of Congress blocked passage of bill to raise minimum wage rates from 40 to 65 cents an hour.
 2. That millions of returning war veterans and workers have no op- portunity or hope of obtaining de- cent homes for themselves and their families because Congress failed to enact the Wagner-Ellen- der-Taft Bill, providing for long, range housing program.
 3. That reactionary forces in both parties in Congress, who conspired to pass the destructive Case Bill, which was vetoed by President Truman, and other anti-labor legis- 1ation, are already plotting new attacks on labor's freedoms which they hope to put across if they are reelected to the next Congress.
 These are emergency situations threatening the very existence of organized labor and aimed at de- stroying the gains for American workers which the trade union

As the first step the Council or-' dered that full information on the voting records of each member of Congress seeking reelection be pre- pared at National AFL Headquar- ters and placed in the hands of all AFL members "so that they can elect the friends of labor and de- feat its enemies"
 The Council followed this up by
