Bouquets For Our
Health Department

The preliminary report made
Tuesday night by the three
man board Of nationally known
medical surveyors, after calling
hospital and health services in
Washington. "heart breaking"
and "disgraceful," stated that
the investigators found it "a
pleasant contrast to turn to
Montgomery County"
Montgomery County with a
modest budget of $1.19 per cap
tia, is aided by "the high
economic status of its p0pula-
ton" and is unusually fOrtrc
nate in its official health leader
ship" the surveyors found. AL
though more nurses are need
Cd" its tuberculosis program
was called "excelIent;" its ma
ternal and child health pro-
grams "Of high quality" its
nursing service, "weII planned
and well administered" and its
health. education admirably
organized"
The health officer there, said
the report. is working for a
health center building, school
physician, seven more nurses
and cardiac clinic and rhecr
matte fever program. All these
were termed part of a wholly
sound and logical approach"
The volunteer work of the
Public Health Lay Council was
also highly commended.

Contest Looms
In Rockville
Town Election

For the first time in at least
IL years there will be contest
in the Rockville town elections to
be held next Monday, May 6. The
nomination by petition of Leroy
B. Sherman of ITO West Montgom-
cry Ave-, to be candidate for
Town Council promises some COM
petition at the polls, where in
former years the number of can
didates has never exceeded the

terest in town affairs. His plat
form is three-fold:

to vote. Though the population is
about 5000, less than 500 per-
sons are registered to vote, and in
the last town election fewer than
80 people cast their votes.
2. Cleaner streets and health
Ter town.
3. Fairgrounds for children and
a year-round recreation program.
Mr.. Sherman has made his
home in Rockville for six years,
coming there from Connecticut and
Rhode Island.
Members Of the Richard Mont
gomery High School P-T.A. re-
Gently elected Mr.. Sherman as
their president for the year 1896
1947 He has served for several
years on the Troop Committee for
the Rockville Boy Scouts.
Graduating in 1922 from Hamil-
ton College, Mr.. Sherman carried
on further studies in the field of
industrial relations at New York
University. He has been guest lee
turer at Syracuse University and
Boston College and has given
course on hob analysis and en-
ployment techniques at Brown Uni
versity.
Other candidates for the Town
Council are Louis J. Ryan, Frank
f. Williams, Oliver H. Perry and
F. B. Albert. G. Lamar Kelly is
the only candidate for Mayor.
