Led by Mrs. James H. Nolan
of Rockville, Red Cross Fund
Raising Chairman for Montgom-
cry County, unit leaders are in
creasingly active in their prepare
tons for the campaign which
opens March LIST. The county
quota for 1916 is $4,000 almost
half of what it was last year.
There is no question in the
minds of the American people for
the need of such an organization
as the Red Cross, or the need for
generous contributions to support
its manifold activities. This years
funds will be used for the care of
discharged veterans, hospitalized
soldiers and sailors, lonely men on
occupation duty, and to aid dis
aster victims at home, and war
victims abroad.
The volunteers who will serve
rs leaders of the 10 units, into
which the area is divided for the
campaign, are now engaged in
completing the details of their
organizations. They are:

Deep-breathing and correct pos
ture, leading to better general
health, are examples Of the many
physical benefits. Drummer boys
never slouch nor trumpeters play
with caved-in chests. Army auth
critics have noted that bandsmen
in competition with field soldiers
often win.
The greatest value, however, is
found in the boost that band music
gives to the community. To stamp
your feet in rhythm with your
neighbor, whether you are playing
or listening, satisfies a fundament-
al human urge. You feel in step
with your fellow citizen; you be-
long! That is your band swing

Commissioners
To Secure
Housing Units
Commissioner Moves Au-
thorized To Sign Contract
For $50 Housing Units

The Board of County ICommis-
sioners on Tuesday authorized it's
president Alfred d. Moves to sign
a contract for $50 temporary
housing units with the U. S. Pub
lie Housing Administration. Mr..
Noyes reported that he had the
necessary application forms and
a contract prepared, and counsel,
Joseph A. Cantrel, had ruled that
the Boards action in assuming
responsibility for the project and
the contract, was legal.
Fifty of the units will be as
signed to the Washington Mission
airy College in Takoma Park, and
that institution will take complete
charge of the installation of public
utilities. These units will be used
for veteran students.
The County expects to use 200
Of the units at New Hampshire
Ave. and University Lane if pos
sible. 1t not, a new location will
be secured. Chief difficulty at the
selected site is lack of sewer and
water facilities and the fact that
part is located in Prince Georges
County. Neither of these is be-
lieved insurmountable according to
Commissioner Moves.
Il is hoped the houses will be
ready for occupancy by June LIST,
The buildings must be torn down
Within five years in accordance
With FPHA rules.
IN explaining their action the
commissioners issued the follow
statement:

homes available to Montgomery
County veterans it should be I'M

part of the 100000 similar homes

Elementary PIT. A.
Formed In Rockville

The need for separate PTA's
for Richard Montgomery High
School and the Rockville Elemen-
tary School having long been felt,
March will see the beginning of
a new Parent-Teacher Association
in Rockville. The new organiza-
ton is the result of discussions
begun at the Mothers Club which
led to further discussions at the
January meeting Of the Rock
vile PTA, at which time a COM
mittee was formed to draw up
bylaws to meet the requirements
of the National Congress of Par
ents and Teachers.
At the February 5 meeting of
parents, the bylaws were APP
proved. The name of the new
association is to be the Rockville
Elementary School Parent-Teach-
err Association, a local unit of the
Maryland branch of National Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers.
AT this meeting those present felt
that much valuable time would be
saved if the first meeting were
held in March, and officers elected
at that time rather than the GUS
tomary month of April for cleo
tons. A nominating committee
was elected: Mrs. Ruth Cue, Mr..
E. T. Horn, and Mrs. Foster.
Members volunteered to send
cards to 600 parents in an attempt
IN further inform other parents
Of this next meeting.

sional men in the community, the
promotion of community-better-
nent endeavors and of high stand
ards in business and professional
practices and the advancement of
international understanding, good
