How Should A
Charter Handle
Health, Schools?

"How should the County handle
health, welfare, and school sys-
tenn functions in the new Charter 2"
is the eleventh question asked by
the Charter Board.
In the 1914 Charter there were
set up separate departments for
health, welfare and education. The
complicating factor is that the
County supplies most of the funds
spent for such activities but State
laws and regulations govern many
of the problems involved. The
power of the purse places cores
ponding responsibility upon the
County Council for the proper use
of money appropriated for schools,
for health services and also for
welfare work.
Please write or telephone your
views to Norman B. Ames, George
Rust Candy, Howard P. Bailey,
William G. Hanson or James J.
Hayden, members of the Charter
Board.

the county from the provisions Of
the Lindsay Act will be held Feb
ruary 6 at 3 P. M. in the Cham
Der of the House of Delegates,
Annapolis according to Bernard S.
Melnicove, chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee. This act pro-
hibits non-partisan elections Of a
county council in any county hav-
ing a charter form of government.
The measure on being introduce
ed by the Montgomery Delegation
last Wednesday was referred to
the Judiciary Committee over the
protests of Anders r. Lofstrand,
Jr., delegation chairman, who con-
tended that it should have been
referred to his group since it was
a local measure.
Mr.. Melnicove said he has re-
ceived a request for a hearing
from the Democratic State Central
Committee for the county, and no
other county organization has sub
mitted a similar request.
E. Brooke Lee, county Democra.
tic leader, has opposed the bill on
the ground that it would destroy
the two party system in the coun-
ty. s9bs
The Charter Committee, on the
other hand has attacked Mr.. Lees
stand and supported the delega-
lions bill by stating 1.-THE voters
of Montgomery County should be
expressly and unequivocally allow
ed the right through an amend
ment to the Lindsay Law to decide
for themselves whether it Is wise
to elect their Council ON a nom
partisan ballot"

Movies Taken Of
Damascus Cafeteria

On January 16, Damascus High
School was honored to be one of
the rural public schools chosen to
have its cafeteria open to photog-
raphers from the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. They took
pictures of the girls and cafeteria
workers preparing lunch from the
very beginning to the time it was
brought and consumed by the stu
dents.
These pictures of the elementary
and high school cafeteria were
taken because the Syndicates and
Map Service are asking the De-
partment of Agriculture for new
material to print in vocational and
agricultural magazines. Some of
the prints will be used as the
basis for a movie put out by the
Department, later this year.

"You had better take good look
at them as they pass you on the

five year road building plan "to
get the farmers out of the mud
was presented to the Board of
County Commissioners Tuesday
afternoon by James D. King, pres
ident of the Farm Bureau. Ac-
companying Mr.. King were County
Agent 0. w. Anderson, Charles
Davis, Joe Hutton and w. Lawson
King. Mr.. King prefaced his report
by saying that the former County
Commissioners had heard the same
report and had approved it, but
had taken no action.
The report suggested the grad
ing, draining and surfacing of $40
miles of road at cost of ap-
proximately $4,285,000. Among
the six suggested means for rails
ing this amount Of money were, an
additional one cent gasoline tax
for Montgomery County to be col
lected by the state and turned
over to the county to be used for
roads alone; an increase in state
income taxes; an increase in the
rate of taxation on real and per-
sonal property for road purposes
only and the eventual reassess-
ment of properties whose value
would be enhanced by the improv-
ed roads
Following the road report, Mr..
King related some other matters
on which the Farm Bureau would
like the Boards support, including
a continuation of the $1,000 ap-
preparation for japanese Beetle
control; the adjustment of all
forms of personal property tax;
and the more cautious selection
of people to receive welfare bene-
fits, stating that many able bodied
people preferred not to work, but
to receive welfare support.
After reading letter from the
State Tax Commission regarding
the scores of the eight assessor
applicants who were examined last
week, Leonard E. Brashear of
Laytonsville and Perry G. Bur-
dette of Gaithersburg were ap-
pointed to the two vacanies in the
Assessment Office at $4,000 a year.
The Commissioners ordered the
demotion of Capt. Charles Barnes,
now commanding the Rockville
Station of the Police Department
stating that his appointment was
not in accordance with the Civil
Service Law Of 1915. He will re-
vert to lieutenant's status and Sgt.
Roy Bodmer will replace him in
command of the Rockville station.
Bodmer, now commanding the
radio dispatchers office, was pro-
NOTED to captain and will assume
his new duties February LIST.

partment include the promotions

Teacher Pay
Raise Urged
By P-TA Council

Increase of the state minimum
salary for teachers in Maryland
from the present 1900 to $4,000
and state aid to counties for con-
struction of school building were
among resolutions adopted by the
Montgomery County Council OF
Parent Teacher Associations, meet
ing Friday, January "a, at the
Takoma Park Elementary School,
Leslie M. Able, Council president,
has announced.
Representing 81 schools through
out Montgomery County, the Coun-
Gil also favored reduction of the
size of classes to 80 pupils per
teacher. These three points, though
contained in the general program
adopted by the Maryland Congress
of Parents and Teachers last No
vember in Cumberland, were
singled out for special attention,
Mr.. Able said. Support on broad
scale was voted for the remainder
Of the Maryland Congress pro-
fam. he added.
1ilc rssolution favoring state aid
for building construction was in
support Of that portion of the
Sherbow Commission report calling
for a building incentive fund. This
Commission, appointed by Govern
or O'Conor last year to study re-
distribution of state funds, recon-
mended tax by each county of
five cents on assessed valuation,
the funds thus raised to be matched
by the state up to $40 per pupil.
The Councils resolution, however,
called for sum of $40 per pupil,
Mr.. Able said.
Under the Sherbow report, Mont
gomery County would obtain $175,-
900 for building, whereas the Coun-
ellis resolution would provide
double that amount, he said. Total
cost to the state would be $780,
600 on a $40 per pupil basis, and
1850, 900 on 500 basis, he added.
The Council also endorsed the
oil introduced in the Maryland
House of Delegates by Mrs. Leons
Rush of Colesville, last weeb cali
ing for abolition of the job o.
supervisor of school property ir
Montgomery County. Abolition on
this job will or:n the way for ap.
pointment of a qualified assistant
county superintendent of schools
in charge of all school property,
Mr.. Able pointed out. The Council
opposed the special bill, also in
PRODUCED by Mrs. Rush, calling for
appointments to the Board of Edu-
cation to be made by Circuit Court
judges. Opposition was based on
the desire for further study and
the fact that the Maryland PIT.
A. Congress is about to set up a
Committee to make thorough
study of appointments.
Mrs. Austin s. Donaldson, Coun-
ell membership chairman, reported
total of 5000 members which, in
relation to population, is ahead of
the best state averages.
