Schools To Be
Open Every Day

Montgomery County School Of
ficials have adopted a policy of
keeping schools open every day of
the school year, regardless of the
weather. This ruling has come as
a result of uncertainty of parents
as to whether they should send
their children to school in extreme
bad weather.
From now on schools will be
open, no matter what the weather,
and as many children as are able
should report to school. If they
can't make it, that's all right, too!
They won't be counted absent, ac-
cording to Assistant School Sup
intendent E. M. Douglas.
Montgomery County Schools are
the first in Greater Washington
to adopt this elastic policy. Bus
drivers have been instructed by
the school board to make their own
decisions as to whether roads are
safe.

greeted with loud applause Friday
night, February 81, at the month

Association, for his careful sum-
mary of the utility situation in
Rockville. Don't throw away the
heritage that is Rockville" Mayor
Kelly cautioned members of the
Civic Association, meeting in the
library room of Richard Montgom-
cry High School. He pointed out
that it is a great mistake to plan
too far into the future. Describing
Rockville as "a great little town."
the Mayor said that the community
is going through growing pains"
at present.
Both the telephone company and
Potomac Electric Power Company
were highly praised by Mayor
Kelly for cooperative, efficient
service at low rates. He added that
he could not say as much for the
gas company. Discussing water
and sewage, the Mayor stated that
Rockville had the first sewage dis
posal plant in Maryland, long be-
fore Baltimore had one. Even
though the present plant is over
loaded, it is still doing a very good
job, he declared. Prior to 1884,
there was no profit to water and
sewage due to poor management
and inefficient operation, Mayor
Kelly said. But since then the town
las been able to make a profit on
these systems, and these funds cal

Board Asked To
License All
Electricians

A group of electrical contractors
on Tuesday asked the County
Commissioners to set up an exa'
mining board to license electric.
ians. Walter E. Norman, Beth.
esda attorney, who acted as
spokesman, urged an enactment OF
an ordinance which would set up
an examining board that would
screen all county electricians and
license those who are qualified.
Such procedure, he pointed out,
would prevent inexperienced and
unqualified electricians from do
ing slip-shod work.
The present electrical inspec-
tions are inadequate and in many
cases wiring is covered up before
an inspector sees it, Mr.. Norman
charged. A draft of the proposed
ordinance which was read to the
commissioners, set up a standard
which would be backed by possible
fine or Imprisonment.
The commissioners took the
matter under advisement.

stressing the fact that people in
Rockville can get water as cheap
as anywhere, and cheaper than in
lots of places.
The Mayor went on to say that
Rockville is one of the most eco
nomica1 places in Montgomery
County in which to build home.
Asked about the garbage situation,
he declared that he would like
eventually to see garbage collec-
ton compulsory and done by the
town.
Hugh Dawson, President of the
Civic Association, presided at a
business session before the May
or's address. Walter Taylor, chair
man of the Planning Committee,
reported that group of students
and faculty of American Univer-
sity are planning to make a survey
of Rockville, similar to one they
have done for Front Royal, Va.
Members of the Association vot-
ed unanimously to investigate the
possibility of petitioning the Civil
Service Commission to have the
Hatch Act set aside to allow fed
eral employees living in Rockville
to engage in non-partisan political
activity of purely local character.
It was pointed out that several
communities nearby have had this
exemption. Robert B. Ladd and
Henry Miller were appointed as
members of a committee to look
into this matter.

Farmers Cares
Much The Same
IS Years Ago

1t was brought out at the Farm
ers' Convention held Saturday at
Sandy Spring, that the farmer
struggled with much the same
problems rs years ago as those
which beset him today.
Minutes of early conventions
show discussions on insects and
vermin what to plant and when
how to get rid of weeds, and how
to use sutpluses-subjects which
are still being argued. But the
wonderful sprays and insecticides
being used today were unknown
in 1883. "Wash the COW in water
in which potatoes have been boil
ed" was advocated as good for
lice in the old days.
R. Bentley Thomas, who has
been attending the convention
since 1885, was quick to point out
that potatoes belong to the might
shade" family, and under certain
conditions develop belladonna
which has a paralyzing effect, so
he said the old-timers may have
"had something there"
While Mr.. Thomas may be the
oldest from point of membership,
Calvin Bready almost 8S, was the
oldest member in attendance, with
John E. Muncaster a close second
both from point of age and mem
bership.
The convention was conducted
by l., C. Burns of Olney, president
During the morning session "Flex
IDLE Crop Rotations" was discussed
by DR.. w. B. Kemp, Director, Uni
versity of Maryland Experimental
Station.
After luncheon, o. w. Anderson
county agent, pinch-hitting fol
Norman Warfield, told of thu
Japanese beetle spray program
and the current Dead Rat" cam
paign. Mr.. Warfield was unable
to attend because of illness.
The present status of the Hoo
and Mouth disease was told by DIR
George Gille, veterinarian membe'
of Congress.
A local man, Keith Himebaugh
Director of Information, u. S. De
partment of Agriculture, who las
year spent some time abroad, dis
cussed the domestic and foreign
food situation as related to the
