Montgomery County's political
Dot which steamed during the
primary election campaign, now
threatens to boil over-what with
both the Republicans and the De-
mocrats releasing platforms this
week; the Charterites planning a
rally in Silver Spring on Monday;
the Democrats deciding to ask the
voters to turn thumbs down on
the charter question and the Re-
publicans neither advocating char
ter nor condemning it, but making
a bid for votes from all who OPP

istration, by asserting that the
people under a democracy have
the right to vote as they please
While the rift between the
Bethesda Chevy Chase Democrats
is said to be healed, there are
indications that the Democrats OF
the upper section of the county
who failed in their attempts to put
an opposition ticket against the
organization forces in the primary
election, are still sore. How many

Gaithersburg
P-TA Holds Its
First Meeting

Maxwell Burdette, principal of
the Gaithersburg High School,
told the $50 parents and teachers
assembled Monday evening for the
first P-TA meeting of the year
that it is the objective of the
school to turn out children WHO
are well informed, we'll integrated,
self supporting citizens, who are
equipped to contribute their share
share to the community life.
Under the ideal set up, Mr..
Burdette stated, parents should
take enough interest in the school
and its activities to cooperate in
diligently with the school pro-
gram in the home. On the other
band, the teachers should be in
terested in the children, the
parents, and the community so as
u know the aims of the home and
be able to cooperate with them.
Mr.. Burdette was introduced by
Earl Williams who told that Mr..
Burdette had been principal of
the school for seven, and one-half
years when ne entered the Army
as a Lieutenant in January 1912.
Upon his discharge in November
1916 he was a Major in the 18th
Air Force and had stars represent
ing the campaigns in Africa, Sicily
and Italy.
During the meeting the 32
members of the teaching staff
were introduced to the parents.
Mrs. Raymond Jackson reported
on the meeting of the State Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers at
the University of Maryland dur
ing the summer. Rev. M. u. Ray

of the meeting and Miss Elmyra
Parrish led the group singing.

Charter Group To
Hold Rally In
Silver Spring

Monday evening, September 80
at 8:15 in the Woodside School al
Silver Spring, the Charter Com.
Inittee Field Division will hold q
rally for all it's workers. The five
candidates for the Charter Board
sponsored by the Charter Com
nittee, are to be introduced
Petitions for the candidates no.
mination will be distributed to the
workers who will collect the 1000
signatures or five per cent of the
registered voters necessary.
The whole meeting is planned
to emphasize the Importance of
educating the public on the value
Of charter form of government
and the great need for it in Mont
gomery County. The speakers will
hammer on the fact that a "home
rule" charter, as set up under the
Maryland Constitution, will bring
the government back to the
people, and do away with the
al surdity of the present system
where specifically local laws are
passed at Annapolis by legislators
who know nothing about the real
needs of the County. 1t will act
ually increase the powers of our
elected County Commissioners,
called under charter, according to
the Maryland Constitution, the
County Council. The speakers
expect to stress the fact that under
charter, no longer can local laws
be rushed through at Annapolis
in the hurried, closing days Of the
State Legislature without the
knowledge of the citizens of Mont
eomery County. The County
Council will have the power to
rass at Rockville all local laws and
in great contrast to the present
set-up, the citizens will have
plenty of chance to study them
and suggest changes before they
are fixed on the statute books.
In view of the fact that the
Charter of 1914 was defeated by
only 2.8 per cent margin, the
:, orkers in the Charter Committee
look forward with the greatest
confidence to the success of the
present campaign.

In resolution prepared by
.Tarlton Brooke and A. ID.
Farauhar, the Savings Institution
Of Sandy Spring pays tribute to
the late josiah w. Jones, by point
ing out his value to the institu-
ton as Field Officer, in which
position he followed the late
Charles F. Kirk. Both men were
particularly suited for the posi-
ton.
Mr. Jones had been a director
since 1918, and in 33 years OF
service rarely missed a meeting
He was also a vice-president, a
member of the finance committee,
as well as field officer.
The resolution states in part: 1t
was as field officer that Mr.. Jones
was of such special value to this
bank. Ellis accurate knowledge OF
real estate values was almost UNI
believable as shown by the fact
that there was hardly a distur-
bance in the list of the Bank s
mortgages which ne had been
examining, in the great depres-
sion which began in 1879
Through all the years he followed
his regular route Of visiting each
property on which this bank held
mortgage and also made ire
quent examination for prospective
loans. In spite of much illness IN
the last few years he carried on
lis faithful work until few days
before his death on Sept oth'
1916.

great loss due to the death OF Mr.

munity, to the bank and to us as

Plans On Way
For Revision OF
Negro Schools

Plans calling for the Complete
reorganization" of the Mont
gomery County Negro school
system were revealed to the Com
munity Planning Division of the
Montgomery County Community
Chest and Council last week by
DR.. Edwin W. Broome, Superin-
tendent of Schools for the County.
Dr.. Broome spoke at a meeting
of the group Wednesday night in
the Hungerford Tavern, Rockville,
presided over by Mrs. C. C,
Jumbleson. The reorganization
plan, approved by educational
authorities, experts and members
of the Negro civic and welfare
organizations, would consolidate
the present 19-school system into
a six-school affair. Eighteen
schools would be replaced by new
buildings and the existing facili-
ties would be turned over to the
scattered communities for use as
community centers.
The plan calls for the con-
struction of a new senior high
school in Rockville, which would
serve as a school for the entire
county's senior high students and
a center for important colored
activities.
The present high school, only
enc of the buildings which will
be retained for school purposes,
will be reconverted into a junior
high school. The eighteen element
airy school buildings will be ac-
cording to plan consolidated into
four larger and up to date schools
located at Poolesville, SpencervilIe,
Laytonsville and in the Scotland
Rockville area.

REPUBLICANS
ASSAIL COUNTY
LEADERSHIP

Calling upon Democrats "wht
are interested in the general wei
fare of the county and not tn,
welfare of the present Democratic
party Leadership" to join the Re
rublicans in developing a plan t.
reorganize the county government
the Republican platform for the
county was made public on Tues
day. 1t pledges elimination of the
Declaration of Intentions Act
which it claims DISTINGUISHES a
large number of people; complete
local control over purely local af-
fairs, and would place refuse dis
losal under the control of the
County Commissioners, SO that
they "would be responsible at the
polls if the service is unsatis-
factory"
The platform was drafted by a
committee composed Of Howard p.
Bailey, Arthur J. Hilland, Richard
b. Barker, Paul M. Coughlan,
Thomas C. Kelley and r. Duncan
Clarke. Claim is made in the
platform that many purely local
functions of the government of the
county have been placed under
direction of the State or semi
State agencies such as the Mary
land--National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
Election of delegates to the
General Assembly and the County
Commissioners by a vote of the
district which they represent, in
stead of by the present county
wide vote, is advocated by the
platform. 1t also pledges there
will be no "office juggling" if the
Republicans are in power, and
condemns the practice Of the
Democrats in resigning from
elective positions to accept APP
pointed ones, leaving an opening
whereby an unelected person is
appointed to an elective position.
Other pledges in the platform
include an Independent survey Of
schools; construction and repair of
county roads con basis Of need
rather than political considera-
tom" far-sighted and well plan
red drainage system; appointment
If members of the school board by
the judges Of the county; a "reaP
merit system for county en-
ployees to include all except
policy making employees.
Expressing opposition to the
sale of tax anticipation certificates
10 meet deficits arising from over
spending Of the budget, the Re-
publicans promise, if they win the
election, that county agencies will
be required to stay within the
confines of the adopted budget.
