PRESENT SYSTEM 'r
SUITS HIM WELL,
SAYS SEN. HAMPTON

Pointing out that for the last
SO years, he had lived and worked
in Bethesda, and has had the OPP
portunity to see how the County
Commissioners ana members Of
the State Legislature have helped
the people of this county, Thomas
T.. Hampton, issues a statement
supporting the Democratic ticket.
Senator Hampton says:
There has been only one Re-
publican Fusion administration
Of the Board of County Commits
sioners in this County in my me-
mory, from 1884 to 1888. saw
the Republican Fusion Commits
sioners increase the basic county
tax rate 500, violate their pledge
not to issue more county bonds by
the issuance of 81, ,250,000 of coun-
ty bonds. remember that they
promised in their campaign to re-
Guce the number of county job
holders and when elected they
really increased the jobholders
payroll nearly $4,000 year. The
county affairs were never In a
r1ore chaotic state nor made less
progress than during this Repub-
lican-Fusion administration Of the
Board of County Commissioners.
II was elected President Of the
Board Of County Commissioners
that followed the Republican
Fusion Board o fthe County Come
nissioners and so had to help
clean up the situation and GER
tainly know what am talking
about.
81 am sure that another Repub-
Hcan county administration would
be bad for the people of Mohtgorn-
cry County. believe firmly that
another Democratic County admin
istration will be beneficial to the
people Of Montgomery County. I
intend to support Democratic
State and County candidates in the
present campaign and on Novem-
ber g."
Senator Hampton further states
that his experience as Senator for
the county the past four years has
shown him that the laws passed
for Montgomery County consisted
entirely of those introduced
and worked for, by the county de-
legation. "That is real home rule"
he says.
He concludes by asserting that
he is convinced "that under the
present system of government
every change and all progress that
ought to be made can be accom-
plished in Montgomery County
through the elections that are held
every four years"

Municipal League
Elects Mayor Hall
AS President

Mayor Clyde C. Hall of Garrett
Park was elected president Of the
Municipal League of Montgomery
County last week at the Glen Echo
F:rehouse. Mayor o. w. Young
blood of Takoma Park was elected
vice president and Robert S.
Caviness of Kensington, secretary
treasurer. Mayor l. L. Nc
Cathran of Washington Grove,
who has been president of the
League for several years, made a
snort talk. Many questions of in
terest to county municipalities
we're discussed also. Difficulties
ir connection with obtaining the
services of a contractor for minor
street repairs were outlined by
Howard Bean of Kensington. 1t
was decided that this problem can
lie solved in one of two ways:
first, by securing the services of
the County repair department on
& cost basis, or second, by con-
solidating the work of all the
towns, except Rockville and
Takoma Park, which have their
own street-repair equipment, into
single contract with one con-
tractor.
The next regular meeting of the
Municipal League will be held in
the Rockville Town Council
Chambers at Rockville, at 8 P. M.

There are ten weekly newspapers
in Montgomery County. AS Ma
tional Newspaper Week is being
celebrated we reflect that the 81
wear old "Sentinel" is great
grandmother in age as compared
to the other nine. The Sentinel is
also the only ABC paper in this
county, and one of the few week
lies in Maryland which has its cir
culation audited in the same man
ner as that of daily papers and
leading magazines.
The Audit Bureau, of Circula-
tions better known as A. b. O.,
examines and audits the circula-
ton records of all publisher men,
bers at regular intervals. The
results of these audits are issued
in A. B. C. reports which are
available to advertisers and
publishers for use in the buying
and selling of advertising space.
The reports tell how much net
paid circulation a publication has,
the price or prices at which it was
sold, how and where distributed
and other facts essential to the
sound investment of advertising
money. With the aid Of A. B. c.
reports, advertisers know with
certainty just what they get.
Because no free copies of The
Sentinel are distributed; because
it is mailed only to paid-in-advance
subscribers, and because 1t is circu-

CHARTER BOARD
NAMES IT'S FIVE
CANDIDATES

Names of five candidates for the
proposed charter board for Mont
gomery county was announced
Monday evening, at meeting in
the Woodside Elementary School
in Silver Spring. The Field Divi-
sion of the Montgomery County
Charter Committee, and precinct
workers. The workers were COM
mcnded by Allen H. Gardner,

Improvement OF
State Adoption
Laws Sought

Seeking to Improve the proposed
adoption law, three members of
the Montgomery County Com
launity Chest and Council last
week went to Baltimore to testify
before the State Legislative Com
mittee now holding hearings on
the subject.
Miss Margaret MacGregor, As
s;stant Director of the Mont
gomery County Chest Unit; Mrs.
Frances Bartram, delegate of the
State League of Women Voters,
and Juvenile Court Judge Alfred
T.. Noyes, were united in their
request that the adoption law
receive continued study and
revision "in the interast of both
children and parents"
Although they did not oppose
the present law, all three en-
phasized the Importance of great
or stringency in some of it's
aspects. Their main purpose was
to underscore the necessity of an
interlocutory decree which would
enable the adaptive child to be
under supervision during the
reriod of residence before final
adoption. Failure to do so in
previous cases has occasionally
had "tragic" results, it was said.
The Maryland Adoption Law,
designed to eradicate some dis
c"epancies in the present statutes
governing adoption, is slated to
come up before the next session of
the legislature.
