MOth-P Proof Your
Red Flannels 4
But For GOOd!!

T.. L. Golf, proprietor of ABC
Viewers, S403 Georgia Avenue,
Silver Spring, claims to have the
only permanent moth-proofing
solution which protects furs, cloth
ing, blankets, overstuffed furni-
ture and rugs, forever. Moths can
not eat anything treated with this
solution-dry cleaning and wash
ing will not remove the effect,
Mr.. Golf says.
During the four years he has
used this formula, which is Mr..
Goff's own, he states he has moth
proofed thousands of articles and
has never had a claim. Among
articles he has treated are fez,
once owned by an African tribes
man and given to one of our SOL
der boys; Scotch kits, several
Army sleeping bags and 9 suits of
long red underwear.

: The salary of Mr.. Morgan was
cut from $4,000 to $1,000 annually
by the commissioners in an execu-
tive session. The four Republican
commissioners voted for the salary
slash. The fifth members of the
board, Charles Fl. Jamison, Demo-
crat, was absent.
The commissioners gave as their
reason: "To the best Of our knowl-
edge, Mr.. Morgan has not appear
ed at the Civil Service Commits
sioner's office at the Court House
more than one hour per week for
the last three months. County au-
thorities feel that it is completely
unfair to other County employees
and to County taxpayers to pay q
salary of $4,000 for such diiatory
service"
Charging that press release TO
the Washington daily papers and
county weeklies had exposed him
to "public ridicule and contempt
and caused him great financial
loss" Mr.. Morgan on January ii,
1913, filed suit for $4,000 against
county authorities. The declaration
which was filed in the Circuit
Court by Mr.. Morgan's attorneys,
James X. Miller and Charles W.
Prettyman, charged that the de-
PENDANTS, Irving G. McNayr, coun-
ty supervisor. and Brooke johns,
president Of the board Of county
commissioners, falsely and mali
ciously wrote, printed and publish
ed" words concerning him.
A check yesterday afternoon at
the Office Of Clerk to the Court,
showed the suit TO be still pending.

Civil Service Commissioner, and
the circumstances incident thereto,
have been for some time under re-
consideration by the Board, and
the Board now feels that the action
then taken was based upon misin-
formation, and was ill-advised.
Had all the facts been known, the
action would not have been taken.
The Board feels that Mr.. Morgan,
in the conduct Of his Office, has
been competent County official,
and that his salary was not so
much based upon actual time en-
ployed as upon Judgment and in
tegrity in the performance of the
duties Of the office. For these rea-
sons, the Board has rescindcd its
action of September 30, 1947, re-
ducing Mr.. Morgan's salary"

2 That the Welfare Depart
ment be asked to make and
report plans to the county
commissioners and Advisory
Committee not later than
June Is, for the care of the
patients outside the Home
which is recognized as a fire
hazard.
That the county home prop
erty be operated as a farm,
according to w. H. Nerlich,
purchasing agent, the farm
which consists of 1877 acres,
is a paying proposition).
That the County Home Commit
tee of the planning Division be
continued to consider long range
planning regarding the need for
residence for the aged and care of
the chronically i'll and convalescent
in an institution located near or
adjacent to a medical hospital.
That in studying the need and pos
sible recommendation considera-
ton should be given to the use of
the investment and income at the
farm toward the expense of such
an institution. That inquiry should
be made as to the feasibility of OBJ
tanning federal and state funds for
such project.
That the Child Care Committee
of the Planning Division consider
possible uses of the property in
programs for Youth Conservation
and Care Of exceptional children,
According to the report the home
has four patients requiring bed
care who should be under complete
medical supervision in a nursing
home with ready access to doctor.
One patient needs acute hospital
care; three patients could be cared
for in the community in a protect
ed environment; one patient needs
institutional care or protective
boarding home; one patient should
be given opportunity for rehabili-
alton.
All Of the patients are eligible
for Public Assistance and hospital
,are as needed. Plans for the care
If all could be arranged either Mt
Richie Hospital, local nursing
homes and hospitals or in the com
nunity in boarding homes or with
relatives as the individual needs Of
the patients require.
The county home property would
not be satisfactory for converting
into a nursing home. Adapting the
property to this use would involve
great expense. The maximum num-
Der of patients who could be ac-
commodated would be too small To
justify the expense involved. Ade-
quate personnel could not be Sc
cured in its isolated location.

State Roads
Would Install
Traffic Lights

According to information receiv-
ed by the county commissioners
from the State Roads Commission
the only thing holding up the in
stallation of traffic light at the
corner of Montgomery Avenue and
Washington Street, Rockville, is
approval of the Town Council. The
light would be installed at the ex.
pense of the State Roads Commits
sion.
The movement for the installa-
ton of the traffic light was start
ed by the Rockville Chamber of
Commerce almost a year ago. The
chamber also favored the widen
ing of North Washington Street
from the corner of Montgomery
Avenue west on 240 to eliminate
"Snowden's Curve" on the land of
James Veirs to alleviate congested
traffic. This the chamber asserted
in letter to the S.R.C. filed with
the commissioners, "meets with
the favor of the majority of the
people who have business places
on the main street of Rockville"
The matter was referred to F.
Barnard Welsh, who is attorney
for the town of Rockville as well
as attorney to the commissioners.
Mayor G. LAMAR Kelly when
questioned on the subject said he
knew of no letter from the S.R.C.
regarding the traffic light

that the meters were already

Rockville residents will be glad
to note the new street lights now
being installed along main street
and to learn that additional and
stronger lights are to be erected

Town, paying particular attention
to the clark spots" The work may
