Miller Denies
Veterans Group
Is Partisan

The Veterans Better Govern
ment Group, which last weel
urged all veterans to vote agains
the Charter question, today issued
& denial of the charge made by
the Charter Committee that tls
group was Democratic party
inspired front" and pointed out
that its membership includes Re.
publicans, organization Democrats
ahti-organization democrats, and
voters not aligned with any politi.
cal faction.
James r. Miller, temporary
Chairman of the Group, in an
nouncing the next meeting to be
held on November ID, 1916, at 8
p. M, in the Bethesda Elementary
School, invited all veterans in the
County interested in local affairs
tc attend. Mr.. Miller stated
1.-THE Steering Committee of the
Veterans Better Government
Group is made up of - veterans
Of both political parties from all
sections Of the County, and none
Of them holds any political Of
flee in the County.
"The attack leveled at US by the
Charter Committee confirms our
views on the Charter question.
Any committee which would at
tack non-partisan veterans
group and accuse it Of dishonest
motives, merely because its views
do not coincide with theirs, has
lon all sense Of perspective and
has forfeited all claim to the con-
fdence Of civic-minded citizens Of
Montgomery County. Had we
come out in favor Of Charter, it
IL obvious that the Charter Com
mittee would have received us with
open arms and commended our
enlightened civic consciousness
"As temporary Chairman Of the
Veterans Better Government
Group, again urge every veteran
in the County to consider care
fully the Charter question and to
vote against 1t on November Stu"
Mr.. Miller, concludes.

Another Veteran
Speaks His Piece

c. d. Heron, u. s. A., Retired,
in a letter to the Sentinel states
in part: "The Post of Oct. "a, con-
tains the news Of the formation in
Montgomery County Of new We.
terans' Group for Better Govern
ment.' It's press release shows
that it is handling straight "Or.
ganization publicity and that it Is
probably the successor of the 1914
"Citizen's Committee against
Charter" the proponents Of which
have been 80 handsomely reward
cd for their efforts.
There is now no charter TO be
voted on. The only thing at issue
in the coming election is the
desire of the Nh to submit in
1913 Charter which they think
will suit the County, If not the
present bosses. A favorable vote
does nothing except to permit five
nominees to go to work upon such
charter.
GAS for the Veterans, it is my
observation that most of them
want nothing any more than to
once more merge with the COM
munity and again take part in It's
activities. Most of them think
that the existing good government
organizations give ample OPP
portunity for the exercise Of their
energies and prefer to join or re-
join them. know Of my own
knowledge that many have already
lined up with Charter"

Stamps 9 and 10

Spare Stamps and 10 each
good for five pounds of home can
ming sugar, will continue to be
valid through November 30, the
Maryland Office of the OPA has
announced. Both stamps were to
expire October 81.
In granting the extension, OPA
pointed out that local area short
ages of sugar had developed large
" because Of the Maritime strike.
The measure, it is expected, will
permit housewives who have been
unable to obtain home canning
sugar to finish putting up the last
fruits Of the canning season, OPA
said.

NoYes States
Why Democrats
Oppose Charter J

In a release to the Sentinel to-
day, Alfred D. Noyes, chairman
of the County Democratic Con-
gress states:
"The County League of Wo-
men Voters and other spokesman
of the Charter movement have
stated that the County Democrats
have mispresented the issues
when we have urged the County
voters to oppose the initiation Of
another new CHARTERED Constitution
ir the voting next Tuesday.
"Such is not an accurate des-
cription Of the Democratic posi-
ton. We were opposed to the
1914 Charter that the voters re-
jected. There is only one lawyer
on the new Charter Board, James
j. Hayden of Chevy Chase. Mr..
Hayden said ten days ago that the
1914 Charter was "a magnificent
piece of work. that he was
personally satisfied" with it; and
that COLLECTIONS to it, were in his
opinion thoroughly foolish, far
fetched arguments" Speaking at
the Sherwood High School, Sandy
Spring, on October 21st, Mr..
Hayden stated twice in the course
of his remarks that he was satfs-
fed that the essence of the old
Charter would appear in the new
Charter.
"The other four members Of the
Charter Board were picked as
candidates by the members Of the
original Charter Committee who
helped write the old Charter. So
the voters have no reason to
expect any better or any different
Sharter from tne new Charter
Board.
I'VE were against the 1914,
Charter and we are against the
initiation or the approval of an
other Charter like the old Charter.
We disagree with the Charterites.
We think Montgomery County is a
good place to live and has a good
government that has helped the
County for years past. The fact
Is we are trying to clear the issue
rather than to confuse the poll
teal atmosphere as the Charterites
so regularly attempt to do"

Health a. Safety
Plans Discussed
By County P-TA

Group discussions on health and
safety, Libraries, visual aids and
other problems were included at
the second annual Montgomery
County Parent Teacher Institute,
held in Richard Montgomery High
School on October Goth.
Sponsored by the Montgomery
County Council of Parent Teach
er Association, the Institute
served as a workshop where mem
bers of the county's parent teach
er associations discussed mutual
problems and drew profit from the
experiences of co-workers. Best
attended of all the group sessions
was that for presidents with rs
out of possible 80 present.
DR.. Edwin W. Broome, couaty
superintendent of schools, cited
four things which might help the
critical teacher shortage. He sug-
gested: make teachers feel they
are coming into a friendly com
munity; treat teachers as human
beings; recognize the leaders inn
portant position in our culture
and provide greater incentives for
teachers, bcch financial and
from the standpoint of adequate
recognition of their profession.
That parent teacher groups can
be of help to their schools in the
field of audio visual education was
brought out by Mrs. John Bozievich
of Bradley Elementary School.
During a discussion of school
Libraries, Miss Elizabeth Stickley,
librarian at Montgomery Blair
High School called upon P-TA's to
make provision in their budgets
for the school library. In the
Kensington schools the local as
sociations follow this practice and
parent teacher committees bind
books and perform other library
services.
At the school lunch discussion it
was shown thirty schools served
lunches in September and by now
this number stands at 80, Miss
Julia Watkins, County Depart
If Education announced. Mrs.
Howard Cook, Bethesda Elemen-
tray School P-TA, and Mrs. Cert
'ude N. Bowie, State Department
Of Education, also took part in
his meeting.
With III parents and teachers
present, attendance was about Is
per cent higher than last year,
Harold P. Boss, secretary of the
County Council pointed out. In
addition there were a number Of
guests who had not registered.

realization that the boys who
made the supreme sacrifice did

ANY final analysis of the

resents all the beautiful express

A Brief Review Of
 Northern Basketball
By Jimmie Wright

Monday, March II, at the Der nard gym, the Hartford Trojans, a recently formed northend semi pro basketball team, hooked up with the strong Sepian Quintet for the northend championship. The latter, a star studded aggre- gation consists of Freddie and Willie Ware, Jimmie Black, Carl Jackson, veteran of 28 months overseas, George Register and Buddy Killebrew. In this first of two out of three affairs, the Tro- jans emerged the victors 42-33 in a hard fought game.
 The Trojans attack was led by Al Callasky and brother Nap, who secured IT and II points respect ively. In this game the Trojans used a tight zone defense which troubled the Sepians to some ex- tent.
 A second game was played March Is. The Sepians lineup for this game included the former Weaver High and Johnson c. Smith star, the little man who swas always there, Shrimp" John son. This game was a bit on the rough side and Referee Green baum came near losing control of the game. Long distant shooting by Freddie Ware, a cool and clev- CT ball handler and Buddy Kille- brew paved the way for the Sepian victory 41-32. This evened the series.
 The third and deciding game was played on Wednesday, March 27, at the Bernard Gym. This gym, which has no accommodations for spectators, was jam-packed by many hollering basketball fans from the northend and other sec tions of the city. The rival root CTS of both teams kidded each oth- CT and had lots of fun along the narrow space that surrounds the big Bernard Gym. It was a battle royal affair from start to finish, with first one team and then the other taking the lead. With Shrimp" Johnson experimenting the Sepians attack, they were able to secure 2 point lead until half time. The score was then 22-15 in favor of the Sepians at the half. The second half featured quite a bit of long distance shoot ing by Joe Kitchens, Jimmie

But the Trojans rally was leaving them on the short end of futile as the time faded away a 43-40 score.
 The Sepians converted 8 of 13 foul goals, while the Trojans made good but of II. The Tro- jans outscored their rivals 1918 on field goals. Shrimp" Johnson led the winners with 13 points. Al Callasky got g for the Trojans.
