Local Farmer
Tells OF Snow
Bound West

William C. Hanson of Mt. Pros
pect Farm near Travilah returned
on Saturday from a round of
Angus cattle sales. On his trip he
flew over some of the flooded and
the snowbouhd Western states and
at the various sales talked with
stock growers whose herds had
suffered. One stock man told Mr..
Hanson that his barn was so cover
ed with snow that they finally took
off the roof to get at some of the
herd still living.
Mr.. Hanson said the scenes were
beyond description. 1t will take
years to, overcome the loss of so
many purebred animals-the in
centive has been taken out of the
cattle-raising project, he said. The
loss of sheep is even more distress
ing for sheep have been scarce for
years, Mr.. Hanson pointed out.
At Sunbeam Farm, Miami, Okla
homa, Mr.. Hanson purchased a
registered Angus-Aberdeen bull, a
son of Prince Sunbeam 20, famous
as a sire of 81 100000 worth of
Angus-Aberdeens.
The plane on which Mr.. Hanson
was travelling could not land at
Tulsa, Oklahoma, because of the
snow, and had to take him on to
Chicago to land.

Veteran Bus Driver Says
Todays' Children Not Bad

p Stringtown, then to Rockville and
return; but today he travels to
Hyattstown and returns to Rock
Vile According to approximate
mileages given your reported, we
figure Mr.. Clagett must have COW
cred nearly a quarter of million
miles since he started driving the
buses. His record is also excellent.
No child on his bus has ever re-
ceived a scratch and obedience is
fine. He has had only one minor
accident, which occurred on
Sunday when he was hauling Boy
Scouts TO a camp site.
Born in the county, Mr.. Clagett
attended the one-room school
taught by Julian and Joseph Wa
tiers at Ounce Orchard. He is the
father of five children, four Of
whom are married and living in
the county.
Questioned about the improve
ment Of transportation since his
first run, Mr.. Clagett feels that
things have improved considerably
and are Just about as good as they
could be since the children have so
much more use Of the buses than
they did Is years ago.

January Slips
Out While Snow
Covers County

January went out on Monday
like a belated White Christmas
after a four inch snow covered the
ground in Montgomery County
Snow began falling shortly after
midnight Sunday turning into
sieet and rain early Monday morn
ing.
Winter weather is presaged for
the next six weeks by those who
believe in the Grounding sign. A
brightly thinning sun sent Mr..
Grounding sc6oting back into his
winter quarters, but not before
he had cast his shadow and put
the jinx on US.
The worst winter weather in
history which has been concentrat-
ing its fury west of the Mississippi
and north of Texas belted the rest
Of the country Sunday and Mon
day from Maine to Mexico with
snow, sleet, cold and rain.
School children were pleased at
finally getting a chance 20 use
their Christmas sleds--with holt
day on Monday in addition, on ac-
count Of the bad weather.
The County Council at its meet
ing on Tuesday we're informed by
County Manager Irving G. McNayr
that at least fifteen people had
called in to compliment the county
road force on its promptness in
clearing the roads. Despite the
traffic hazard, police said that ac-
cidcrts were at minimum.

employees now engaged in these
duties to the Council.
Still others are: Transfer gar
bage and trash collection from the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission to the council; author
ize the Council to employ experts
to examine the sanitary commits
sion's fiscal operations "to provide
a better understanding of it's
finances and needs; repeal the
Lindsay law, which prohibits non
partisan election of County
Council in any county having a
charter form of government; give
the County Council title to the Sill
yer Spring Liquor Dispensary
Building, now vested in the coun-
ty Liquor Control Board.
After the session Mr.. McNayr
announced he would issue a de-
tailed statement on the county's
fiscal condition in about two weeks.
The proposed debt increase over
the 7 per cent prescribed in the
charter would enable the council to
issue about $11,000,OOO in addi-
tional bonds.
Some of the proposals, such as
the Lindsay law repeater and
those dealing with the Park and
Planning Commission, were intro
duced at the 1947 session of the
Legislature, but failed, largely be-
cause of strong opposition by the
Democratic majority.
