The Safety Committee in the
Elementary School has made an eff
fort to clear up the traffic hazards
that generally exist around dismiss
sal times and always exist in bad
weather.
After much deliberation, the
Council decided to write letters to
parents and to the Mayor and
Council. These letters were drawn
up by the pupils under the guild
ahce Of Mrs. Blades, who is the fac
ulty advisor for the Safety Commit
tee.
The council has requested that
the letter to the parents be given
the Chronicle so that any person
who had not read the letter before
could do so now. The letter is as
( follows:
Dear Parents:
The parking situation around the
school has been brought to the at
tentiOn of the Safety Council by the
Parent-Teacher Association. We,
the members of the Council, kindly
ask for your cooperation in observ-
/ ing the proper parking and traffic
regulations on the street around
the school for the protection of
your girls and boys.
Sincerely, The Elementary
School Safety Council, Hilda Bur-
ton, Safety Chairman; George Ad-
ans, Captain of Patrol; Ruth
Blades, Faculty Advisor.

education Of your children as they
possibly can. These various com

REVISING THE MARSHALL
PLAN
BY ]. E. Jones

by j. II. Jones
The White House and Capitol
Hill have taken a tumble to them
selves" AS the new Congress
whirled into action a pair of edi-
tors informed several hundred law
yer Senators and Representatives
that there is no law of God or man
that makes it possible for Con-
swOOp to carry on the Marshall
dump 17-billiOn dollars in one
swOOmp to carry on the Marshall
Plan for four years. Congress
must legislate for its own period
of time, and leave future legisla-
ton to future Congresses.
In the beginning Herbert HOO
yer made an inquiry into the Eu-
rOpean aid plan and he recon-
mended to President Truman that
the United States should meet it's
full obligations ito help Eu-
rope help itself" Then came the
Marshall Plan making the same
general recommendation except for
the one important fact that the
Marshall formula called for a IT,
billion dollar target" to be pledg-
ed instanter by the United States
GOVernOment.
Pardon me, but this Washington
correspondent stated time and
again in this Weekly Letter to
Family Newspapers his belief that
it would be impractical for Con
gTess to pledge II billion dollars
These Letters, during past months
insisted that European aid must
be stretched over a period of years
Fortunately, a couple of able edi.
tors occupied important posts in
Congress. One is Joe Martin OF
Massachusetts, Speaker of The
House of Representatives. The

PRETTY SAFE GUESSING

The best summaries produced by
Washington commentators is that
politics will dominate the affairs
of the National Administration in
the coming months of 1948. One au-
thOrity says that Europe probably
will not get all of the aid it ex-
pects-which is a strange predic-
ton, because Europe is already as
sured plenty of foreign aid.
One commentator says that
money will be kept easy" and
''the boom will not be busted il
Congress has its way" Nice-ii

Dirst Prevention Time

Dirst Prevention Time
A dirt-prevention drive should
appeal to all Benton housewives.
Here are many little ways, home
makers can arrange to keep out
dust and dirt, save much labor
ious cleaning the year round and
make annual housekeeping un-
necessary.
There are a few Of the follow
ing tips from Helen Noyes,
WSC's extension economist in
home management:
Both smooth paint and q coat
Of wax are helpful wherever fin
ger marks are a problem-around
electric light switches, for ex-
ample, and handles Of doors and
cupboards.
Modern streamlined n d
smoothly finished furniture needs
much less busting than the fan
cier styles Of earlier periods.
Some furniture fits down to the

floor instead Of standing up on
legs, leaving no space under
meath to gather dust. Smooth fab
RIGS for curtains and upholstery
catch less dust than rough fab
RIGS. Linoleum makes a smooth,
easily cleaned floor surface. The
business of cement floors in
Easements may be prevented by
covering with asphalt tile.
One trick to- lick the dust that
collects benin dpictures often
leaving marks on walls, is using
thumb tacks on the back Of pic
lures. Place them at the lower
edge to hold the picture away
from the wall so that dust does
not gather.
Frequent brushing Of window
screens and sills helps keep
panes clean and saves window
washing, especially in summer.
An electric ventilating fan in
the kitchen carries off much Of
the grease from cooking which
tnds eto settle on walls, ceilings
and cupboards and catch dirt.
Enough Outlets
Plugging too many electric APP
pliances into one outlet not only
cuts the current means less pow
|er and DINNER lights; 1t may also
overload the circuit and blow a
fuse, Rural Identification advis-
ors of the u. S. Department Of
Agriculture say. It pays to have
enough outlets and to have them
conveniently placed. The time to
install them most economically is
when the house is wired.
With conveniently placed out
lets there will be no need for
long extension cords which are
not only unsightly and inconven-
lent but also may cause trouble
II they are placed so that the
may easily be damaged-under a
rug, for example or in front Of
a doorwa.
Defective words cause an in
creasing number Of trouble calls,
the advisors say. Lightweight
cords become frayed and worn Il,

Flowers Last Longer
A new product called Geon
Latex will soon be on the mark

to seal in the natural moisture Of

The horticulturists Of Michigan

that flowers dipped into the plas-
tic lasted das instead Of hours.

Falls Church voters in a proposed
81 500 900 school bond election.
Mayor Albert M. Orme said yes

the request at a closed meeting
Monday night. The city school
board, the mayor said, will accom-
pany the council if the joint meet
ing is arranged. The county school
board may also attend.

to support the proposed school
bond issue.

Montgomery County yesterday
adopted a new form of government
the council-manager plan-but
there were immediate political re-
percussions which threatened to
split the county geographically.
In the wake of tabulations show
ing approval Of the charter home
rule proposal, by a vote Of 1880
to 1882, a leading opponent Of
change announced he would move
to divorce the Bethesda Chevy
Chase area from the rest Of the
county.
Commissioner Wesley 7. Sauter
Republican. disclosed plans to seek
the Incorporation of the populous
suburban community into city. If
he should carry through and attain
his objective, the county would lose
some $1,000 residents and a sizable
slice of its wealthiest corner.
Public Reaction in Doubt.
How the citizens will react tc
Mr.. Sauter's announcement remains
matter of speculation. The char
ter proposal was adopted by a mar
gin of approximately $500 votes
while the county was badly split
politically, some of its strongest
support came from Bethesda, Chevy
Chase and Silver Spring.
II am Immediately going to work
to incorporate Bethesda as a free city
divorced from. the charter set-up,
Mr., Sauter said. This is the only
way we can get fair representation

urban area and to assure this area
that the tax money collected here
will be spent here. Charter does

enced employees now on the county
payroll have the assurance that

7 viii Act Next May
"The new council will be
unable to enact legislation until
next May, the legislative month OF
the charter, but that will in no way
prevent the council from preparing
q Legislative program, so that when
May rolls around it may be ready to
hold public hearings If desirable
and finally enact the laws
during the month set aside for that
phase Of the councils work."
y Mr.. Bailey said the seven-member
council will place the balance of
power in the suburban area, where
the greatest population is concen-
trated. He said that while one
councilman will come from each
of the existing five commissioner
districts, the other two will be
elected at large and obviously will
represent the choice of the pre-
ponderance of the voters"
Thus" he said, the. suburban
areas will have an opportunity to
assume a 4-to-3 control instead OF
being 2-to-3 minority as under the
old commissioner form of govern
ment."
County employees in the suburban
area were adopting a wait and see
attitude toward the new govern
ment.
A few expressed fear of loosine
their jobs. They pointed out thai
they are not under civil service.
