HOmemakerS
Accept New
@ u art erS

To quote Sumner Wood, "The
Homemakers and the County Com
missioners are off on an extended
honeymoon" as the result of a
resolution drawn up by Board
President, Brooke Johns, and
adopted by the County Commits
sioners on Tuesday.
The resolution grew out of a
meeting between Commissioner
Johns and members of the Board
Of Managers of the Homemakers
Council held last Saturday in the
office of Sumner Wood, attorney
for the Council. The action was
deemed necessary since the police
department wishes to take over
the present Homemaker office in
the basement and move that group
t. the main floor. When the salts
factory compromise was reached,
the mass meeting scheduled for
January 21st before the commits
sioners was called off. However,
many of the women did not know
that the meeting had been can
celled, and more than 80 of them
were present to hear Commissioner
Johns read the resolution to his
fellow board members and hear
their unanimous acceptance of it.
The resolution gives the Home
makers the present police rooms
back as far as the lockers. This
space is to be renovated, redeco-
rated, toilet facilities and new
Lighting installed and the kitchen
equipment now in the basement
hcmemakers room, placed to their
satisfaction in new quarters.
On January 20, Sumner Wood
discussed the matter with Duncan
Clark, Esq, one of the Republican
Delegates at Annapolis and urged
him to have the Republican Dele
enact the following law:
267 A-The Board of County
Commissioners, Montgomery Coun-
ty, is hereby authorized and di-
rected to provide suitable office
space at Rockville, Maryland, for
the exclusive use of the Montgom-
cry County Home Demonstration
League, the Council Of the Home
makers and it's Home Demonstra-
ton Agent.
