Marylanders To
Help Rebuild
French Hospital

January 10th will see the open
ing of campaign to raise funds
to erect hospital at Saint-Lo,
Normandy, in memory of the Mary
lnnders who fell in the liberation
of that city. The drive for 100000
is sponsored by the Baltimore Unit
American Aid to France, Inc.
Montgomery County's quota is
$2,521.
Mayor T. r. McKeldin Of Balti-
more has set aside January 10th
as "Saint-Lo Day." and in a
proclamation issued designating
this day he said that the hospital
will be living memorial to the
sons of Maryland who gave their
lives that others might live in
freedom. He also stated that the
town was liberated by the 10Th
Division, which was composed in
/ large part of Marylanders. The
Mayor of Saint-Lo will be present
in Baltimore for the opening of
the drive.
The French government will
contribute 100000 toward the new
structure, carrying out it's policy
If contributing four-fifths of the
cost of rebuilding hospitals. The
remaining fifth is supposed to
come from the cities in which the
hospitals are built. However, since
Saint-Lo was totally destroyed
by American bombs and shells, it
has no real estate left on which it
can raise taxes, so American Aid
to France will assume the towns
share.
Names of all donors will be pre-
served in a book to be bound and
given to the city and each man
in whose memory gift is made
will be inscribed on the walls Of
the proposed hospital.

Parents Talk To
Ray Jones In Japan

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Jones of
Rockville were delighted on Sun
day to have the opportunity to
talk to their son Raymond, on the
Warriors of Peace program, broad
cast over WMAL. Young Jones is
stationed in Yokohama, but the
trans-oceanic broadcast originated
III Toxic. Because of poor trans
mission, Mr.. and Mrs. Jones were
unable to hear their sons voice
distinctly, but they talked to him
just the same and at the conclu-
sion of the program, heard by wire
less that he had heard every word
they said. Poor transmission was
due to disturbances growing out
Of the recent earthquakes in Japan.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones did not know
how their son happened to be
picked for the broadcast, but they
we're notified by the War Depart
ment to be present for the pro-
gram. Anna Mae Jones also had
the opportunity to talk to her
brother.
Pfc. Jones, who enlisted in the
regular Army in April following
his 18th birthday, has been in

Charter Board
Asks Question
Number Seven

Should the County Council have
the power to veto its local laws?
The 1914 Charter gave the Coun-
ty Council power to veto bills
passed at each legislative session
either by request of voters or
without such a request provided
that veto action be taken before
the bill finally became local law.
Some voters felt that the Coun-
Gil should not be allowed to veto
itsN own acts; others contended
that the veto power was valuable
as a check on itself by the Council
in the event of hasty legislation.
The Charter Board would like to
know the views Of the people of
Montgomery County on this point
either by mail or telephone. The
members Of the Charter Board arc
Norman B. Ames, George Rust
Candy, Howard P. Bailey, William
G. Hanson and James ]. Hayden.
