The Rockville
Stars Lick
Redskin Five

The Rockville Stars Basketeers
rang down the curtain on a very
successful season in typical fashion
last Saturday night when they
walloped the Washington Redskin
five rs to 38. Tommy Mont was
the only Tribesman to show any
real form and collected 81 points to
be the leading scorer of the game.
Other Grant gridders to appear on
the court were Andy Farkas, AL
Demao, Joe Terishinski, Jim YOU
ell and John "Tree" Adams.
Star coach Fred Lanier didn't
find it necessary to leave his first
string five in the game long to
run up a good lead. However,
Hank Giauque was in long enough
to sink seven field goals and three
foul shots for II points and Guy
Baker added Is points.
The Rockville Starlets took the
Sandy Spring girls for the fifth
time this season, the score was 40
to 81. Dot Tessier accounted for
26 of Rockville's points.

Welfare Head Resigns
Post; Discouraged By
Lack OF Funds. Help

Mrs. Dorothy M. Kurtz, welfare
director for Montgomery County,
this week submitted letter of
resignation to Mrs. E. A. Merritt,
chairman of the County Welfare
Board, stating that she was dis
couraged by the limited staff and
inadequate" State appropriations
provided.
Mrs. Kurtz, who has held the job
for ten years, declared, "There is a
serious question as to whether the
citizens of Maryland really believe
in a program of public assistance
adequate to maintain the stand
ards of decency and health defined
by statutes creating the public as
sistance program" She added that
the consolidation phase of the well
fare program has been completed
and feels that the agency is now
ready to embark upon new phase
of endeavor in which the quality of
service rather than the variety of
services offered should receive ma
jor emphasis"
After April Is, when her resig-
nation is effective, she plans to re-
turn to California for rest and
further professional study.

Calling for the election of a

SO called pinxs" from the federal
payroll, Representative ]. Glenn

announced his candidacy for the
Republican nomination for a
fourth term in Congress from
Maryland's Sixth Congressional

Representative Beall has filed
with the Secretary of State his
certificate of candidacy and a

Pulling no punches in dealing
with the problem of communists
in the federal government, Rep
resentative Beall pointed out that

removal from the State Depart

lily to the United States, only to
have them absorbed by other de-

The blood program is financed
entirely by the Red Cross and re-
CARELESS of who gets blood or
where he gets it, no patient will
have to pay for blood. The only
charge ever made will be a reason
able one by the physician or hospi-

There will be no special fund
drives for the program. Each
year the Red Cross Fund Cam
paign will take into consideration
the amount necessary to carry on
this important new service.

Ways and means OF getting

Mr.. Miller arranged for volunteers
from the Civic Association to wage
last-minute telephone campaign
to urge citizens to get out and
register
More people will be interested in
what happens in Rockville if they
are voters in Rockville, declared

Citizenship Committee. He further
stated that since the civic group is
non-partisan and non-political, the
members are interested solely in
extending the franchise, not In
electing any particular candidate.

Association, presided at the meet
ing, which was primary at business

Chief of Police
And Local WE'D.
Issue Warming

Chief of Police Charles M. Orme,
this week warned the public that
uncontrolled burning of debris is
prohibited at all times. During the
three spring months of March,
April and May and from Sept. Is
to Dec. Is, burning shall be per-
n issible only after P. M. and
before ~ midnight.
The Rockville Volunteer Fire
men can fully appreciate the need
for the foregoing warning. Thus
far this month, the firemen have
responded to so calls, the majority
of which have been field, brush or
wood fires. Saturday and Sunday
of slast week were probably the
worst days for the firemen, with
calls practically continuou 5
through Sunday night on to Mon
day morning.
The department is ready and
willing to respond to all calls, but
some of the recent calls have been
unnecessary. One instance of this
was brush fire reported at Poto-
mac. When the firemen arrived
they found the fire under control
end a Waterman at the scene, UNI
aware that the alarm had been
turned in.
To report fire or rescue, call
Rockville 2345.
The law requires specific pro-
tective measures be taken to pre-
vent the spread of fire to wood
land. Sufficient help should be
provided with tools to prevent fire
from escaping, and at least one
Waterman should be on the ground
until the last spark is out. Unless
there is a natural firebreak, a
fireline should be plowed or other
wise constructed at least 10 feet
wide, completed around area to be
burned.

Rockville Post Office To Add
Rural Carrier On April 7st

Rockville Post Office will add
its fifth rural carrier on April l,
Norman E. Ward, postmaster, an
nounced yesterday. Mr.. Ward also
said that substitute rural carriers
arc badly needed at his office and
asks that anyone interested in a
part-time position get in touch
with him.
Patrons several days ago were
notified of this change by a letter
placed in their mailboxes. Form
1892 was enclosed. Patrons can
cooperate with their carrier and
the post office by returning this
form as soon as possible and
awaiting patiently proper adjust
ments of these routes.
The establishment OF this route
has caused the Rockville office
much extra work in giving the af-
fected patrons proper notification
of the changes which such a route
will require. 1t will cause some
patons to move their mailboxes to
the opposite side of the road.
For many years the population
of Rockville and it's surrounding
area had practically no growth,
while for the past few years it has
increased to the extent that the
handling of mail is quite prob
lem. The Post Office Department
seeing the need of relief for the
four over-burdened rural carriers,
authorized the establishment of a
fifth route which will not only
give the carriers relief, but will
give all rural patrons better mail
service.

missioner Wesley |. Sauter,

school buildings, which Mr..
Johns opposes, and County
Supervisor |. G. McNayr, is
pessimistic about the coun-
TVS financial rating.
The unusually cold winter has
caused both State and County
roads to suffer severely from
"frost-boiP. The topping breaks
from the thawing roads, emitting
stone and often clay soil. Traffic
soon makes a hole in the road
which cannot be permanently re-
paired until the weather settles.
The unimproved roads of which
here are still few in the county
are almost hottomless. These con
ditions cause numerous delegations
to come before the board in pro-
Test. +'
An Interim Construction Report
drafted by Richard f. Carpenter,
assistant superintendent of educa-
ton, issued last week, shows that
the county faces an intense school
building shortage. The report an
ticipates an increase of 1900 stu
dents in the fall. The enrolment
1t stated, may go as high as 23,446
as compared with last years
1886. Six new schools will be
needed besides many additions to
existing ones.
In the meantime, proposed
S3,OO0,OO0 bond issue for school
improvements, is yet unapproved
despite pleas for immediate action
from the Board of Educa ton. Pro-
ceeds Of $2,0OO,O0O bond issue
during the year have already been
spent the report shows.
County Supervisor McNayr has
been warning the board for
months that the 100000 issue
will not sell readily becauge of
the lowered financial rating of the
county, which is. attributed partly
to the fact that the county must
guarantee the Indebtedness Of the
