The U. S. Civil Service Com
mission announced Friday it would
permit Federal workers to cam
paign for and hold town Offices in
Rockville, Washington Grove, Ken
sington, and other municipalities.
The order exempts Rockville resi-
dents, because of the number Of
Federal employees living here, from
many restrictions of the Hatch Act.
The extension was sought by the
Rockville Civic Association, who
pleaded that such exemption would
benefit the town government ma
terially with the technical and pro-
fessional assistance of Federal en-
ploye residents. Robert B. Ladd and
Henry Miller are members of a
committee that drew up the petition.
According to survey, an es-
timated "a per cent of registered
voters of Rockville are Federal en-
ployes or members of the immediate
families of Federal employees.
The privilege extended to desig-
mated municipalities in the i'm

THE MAYOR SAYS.

Commenting on the ticket which
he heads, filed for town elections
on May Srd, Mayor G. Lamar
Kelly states:
"As it became evident that
Messrs. Perry, Ryan, Williams and
Albert were not going to run for
reelection, interested citizens were
confronted with the problem of Sc
lecting candidates, who, if elected,
would attend to the administration
of the town IN accordance with the
interests All desires of the citizens
of Rockville. 1t was thought t1at
the Council should have repre-
sentation from each section of the
town. Efforts were made to that
end. However, although repre-
sentatives from Rockcrest had con-
Cured in this thought previously,
all persons residing in Rockcrest
who were asked to be candidates
refused to be nominated, and there
fore this ticket does not include
Rockcrest resident.
Candidates were selected who
had an investment in the Town.
These candidates, having a regard
for the effect of municipal taxes
upon their own business and prop
erty, will be cautious about taking
steps which will lead to an incre ase
of taxes payable by other property
owners. Furthermore, they, having
been lifelong residents of Rock
vile, and having family roots here,
will refrain from taking drastic
action that might bind those MEM
bers of their family who will live
here in the future. 1t was rot felt
wise to place upon the ticket a
person recently come to Rockville,
whose residence depends upon the
decision of the Federal govern
ment, and who has no assurance
that he will be resident here to-
morrow, and who, therefore, will
have no reason to deter him from
making decisions which will place
burdens upon the permanent resi-
dents.

Gaithersburg Fire
Dept. To Show Film

Believing that Fire Prevention is
one of the best methods of Fire
Protection, the Gaithersburg- Wash
ington Grove Fire Department is
sponsoring movie on April 20 and
20 "wednesday and Thursday at
the Lyric Theatre in Gaithersburg.
The film is entitled "Crimes of
Carelessness" and shows how
thousands of dollars lost each year
by fire could have been saved, and
brings closer to home the steps we
all can take to prevent fire. 1t is
hoped that by the showing of this
film many of the unnecessary calls
of the Department will be elimi-
mated.
To make the evening complete one
of the years outstanding comedies
will also be shown. This picture is
Bringing Up Father" based upon
the comic strip by that name. How
ever, this is not all! Two films "New
Faces" and Fireman, Fireman Save
Save My Barn, featuring members
of the Department will be shown.
Tickets will be available from any
of the local firemen. Two complete
shows will be given both evenings.
The Department is also sponsor
ing a dance to be given at the High
School Gym on May LIST. 1.-THE
Alaskans" will furnish the music
from 8 till ~.
The Carnival Committee, headed
by Freddie Stoltz, is working hard
planning good carnival for this
year, A new 194S Pontiac will be
given away the last night of the
carnival.
In his report at the monthly meet
ing last Friday night, Chief Charles
Fox reported that the Department
had responded to total of 81 calls,
IA rescues and 20 fire calls during

Ribble is being transferred. from
Montgomery County to New Mexico
and he gave us an enlightening
discourse on that part of the
U. S. A. Of it's primitiveness; it's
desolate prairies; of the gorgeous
colorings, and out of this world
shapes; of its mountain ranges.
Its three distinct peoples, Whites,
Spanish Americans and some

the Spanish Americans".)
Irrigation, in that country, Mr..
Ribble said brings out great beauty
and variety and "the wilderness
would blossom like a rose".
He gave a most vivid word pic
ture of a country which seems to
be still in an age far back of our
own. &C.

ption has been criticized for the
conservative action taken upon To-
cal problems. These candidates
were selected with that thought in
mind. 1t was thought that men
younger than those serving on pre-
vious Councils would serve to lib
eralize the town government, but
would not deviate to extreme views
which result in lavish spending of
tax payers money for unnecessary
projects, or cucumber our present
form of government by adding
thereto many forms of bureaus so
dear to the persons closely associ-
ated with Federal projects. IT,
"The coming years will be ones
of development in this town, The
candidates were selected from men
having a knowledge by business
experience of how to face the
problems presented to the Council
by public utilities, real estate de-
velopers, and demands for recrea-
ton and health supervision. The
candidates are men who run their
own business or professional men.
They are independent men who
work in Rockville; they are not
men who earn their living in
Washington and use Rockville as
an experimental laboratory for
their social and governmental
ideas. They are men WHO respect
their own property and will re-
spect yours.
Boiling it all down it amounts
to this: if a man can run his own
business Independently and sue
cessfully, he is more likely to give
the kind of government to Rock
vile that it's residents want, than
a man, newly domiciled in Rock
vile, who does not work in Rock
vile, and whose motivation for
seeking office is power, rather than
self-protection."

Hyattsville - Judge Arthur P.
Owens recently ordered the par
ents of four youths, sentenced to
State institutions in the Prince
Georges County Juvenile Court, to
pay for their keep. Judge Owens
stated that there was no reason for
the State or County to pay for
children delinquent through the
fault of parents and that too many
bills are already being paid for
parental neglect.
