Two Resign From
Charter Committee

The Montgomery County Char.
ter Committee has announced the
resignation of Mrs. MINER Hoste-
tier of Glen, Chairman of the
Field Division; and Willard F.
Kruhm, Spencerville, a member of
the Board of Directors.
These designations were tender
ed and accepted for the reason
that Mrs. Hostetler has filed for
election as State Senator, subject
to the Democratic primary, and
Kruhm has filed for election to
the Republican State Central Com
mittec.
Both Mrs. Hostetler and Mr..
Kruhm have indicated they will
support the Charter movement.
They submitted designations be-
cause of the Charter Committee
policy. which prohibits a person
running for Office on a party
ticket from being active in Char
ter affairs.
Charter Committee sent out this
week to all candidates for County
Commissioner and for the Mary
land legislature questions on GER
tain issues of outstanding inn
portance to the Committee. These
questions deal with the home rule
charter, genuine councilmanager
system, the repeal of Senate Bill
$50 passed in 1915 at Annapolis,
enactment of legislation at the
next session of the General AS
sembly remodeling the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan

gested by the Charter Committee,

transfer governmental functions
from the county TO an agency

Pledged by Hampton

State Senator Thomas E. Hamp-
ton, who was one of the leaders OF
the Democratic faction in Bethesda
to split with the United Democratic
Organization Of Montgomery County
before the June primaries, last
night issued statement pledging
his support of the Democratic ad-
ministration and announcing his

Rumor Of MPs Selling Meat
Brings Police Down on Store

Well, storekeeper has to give the
customer some explanation of the
meat shortage-even If it is a tale
of meat raids" by military police

One proprietor offered this story

much attention.
A customer informed The Star

that "MPs in a jeep" had arrived
earlier in the day and took 1000
pounds Of meat for use at Walter

One-Mon Coop Offers Year, S
Meat Stock for $24OoEonniIy

On a 330-acre Fairfax County
farm, once owned by an uncle of
Robert E. Lee, a former New York
and Washington lawyer is working
out his own solution of the meat
shortage.
Lewis S. Travis, graduate Of Co.
lumbia University, who has been
working his farmlands for 7 years,
explained his plan last night.
He wants to start with a nucleus
of 80 families, each of which will
pay him $40 month. With these
funds he will stock up with steers,
pigs and sheep and fatten them
through the winter.
BY spring he will start slaughter
ing, putting the steaks, roasts, chops,
hams and bacon in a nearby CO.
operative deep-freeze.
I've figured out" he said, that
an average family eats half steer,
a whole hog and whole sheep yearly.
This Is approximately what I will
give my customers-14 pounds Of
meat weekly, which is what an
average family eats per week.
THUS they will be paying only
about IS cents pound for all the
types of meat, from the best cuts
on down to stew meat"
1t will be an investment, he points
out, on the part Of. the original 80
families. as they will have to pay in
advance and wait until next year
to start getting the meat.
1t will have to be that way, he
added, so that he can purchase the
quantities of livestock needed. At
present he has only 20 hogs, a
dozen cattle and no sheep. How
ever, he explained, he can buy the
necessary stock "immediately"-as
soon as he gets his nucleus of 80
persons.
"Once working" he asserted, "the
number can be greatly expanded, as
I have room on my farm for a con-
siderable number Of animals"

The Montgomery County League
of Women Voters has indorsed a
county manager form of government
for the county and will take an ac-
tive part in the coming charter
campaign, Mrs. Dean Dinwoodey
member Of the Charter Committee,
announced at the first fall meeting
of the league at her home in Chevy
Chase.
Mrs. Dinwoodey called for volun-
teers to help obtain the names of
petitioners for members of the
Charter Board and to act as "tele-
phone squad" to get voters out to
the polls In the general election.
Chairmen Introduced.
The following chairmen were in
troduced and explained their pro-
gram: Mrs. J. R. Hemingway, local
government: Mrs. Beale Bloomer,
education; Mrs. Thomas Bartram,
social welfare; Mrs. Francis Russell,
State chairman of international re-
lations; Mrs. Herman Loeff1er, eco

mentary School at which candi-
dates for County Commissioner and
State Senator will be the speakers.
Other county candidates will be in
troduced. The meeting is open to
the public.
National Plans Explained.
Mrs. John Scharf explained the
way in which the leagues national
program is planned, and Mrs. Will
liam Sholar told about the voters
guide prepared by the league for
distribution next week.
Under a proposed amendment to
the leagues constitution, which was
introduced by Mrs. Ralph Himstead,
president, associate membership
would be open to men as we'll as
women and to persons under 20
years of age. The amendment would
also permit residents of other coun-
ties and States to become associate
members of the league. The amend
ment will be voted on next month.

He realizes the objections which
may be made to his plan. Many
persons, he feels, will say that it is
too long to wait before delivery of
the meat starts. In answer, he says
his customers will be absolutely as
sured" of meat next year at the
contracted price regardless of how
prices rise or how great the short
age may become,
People who pay him will have
their money refunded, he said, If
he does not get as many as 80 Gus
toners. However, he is optimistic.
Some method has to be worked
out to make farming pay" he de-
clared. II am raising grains on my
farm, and the market hardly pays
me enough to meet taxes.
This plan should be beneficial
both to farmers and consumers.
Once it catches on I have reason to
believe that farmers throughout the
country will try it,"
Each week, or whenever the indi-
vidual customer desires, he will have

He says he has facilities to take
care of the herds, and he only will
have to hire two additional work.

Mr.. Travis, an outspoken advocate
Of land tax reductions at annual
Fairfax County budget hearings, is
the leader Of a group Of western
county residents who once proposed
that the section of Fairfax beyond
Difficult Run secede to Loudoun
County.
Mr.. Travis said farmers each year
are called on to pay higher taxes,
most of which goes to finance
schools and other improvements in
the urban section. The only relief
from this, he added, Is to Join a
county that is predominantly agri-
cultural.
