The new March of Time" may
give you lot of ideas, if you don't
know where to spend your next va
cation. Or it may show you a
place you've already enjoyed. The
film shows cross-section of
American holidays - cruise ships,
big and little hotels, camping trips,
dude ranches. Americans spend
some IL billion dollars on vacations; !;
here is how they do it.
Kid Chissen, one of the eX-
prizefighters in RKO's "The Set
Up, used to work out in a Cleve-
land gym in 1925 with an amateur
fighter named Packy East. Then
Packy took the long count, gave up
fighting, and Chissen didn't know
what had become of him. Didn't
see East until some years later, in
Hollywood. Packy had won quite
q reputation there as Bob Hope.

Yes. we want our APP competitors TO

We are only one store and are striv-

Destroying the APP would mean elm

The action which came af-
ter formal adjournment, was
denounced by Brooke Johns,
president, and Oliver w.
Youngblood, Republicans.
Gathering informally after
their regular meeting, the
commissioners voted 3 to 2 to
rezone the land. The rezoning
was recommended by the
Maryland-National Park and Plan
ming Commission but was rejected
by the Commissioners December
81 after protests were filed by
scores of area residents. IT was re-
ported unofficially that a service
station will be built on the lot.
On Tuesday, Charles H. Jami-
son, lone Democratic commissioner
and a member of the Lee-Shaw po-
litieal organization, told his asso-
ciates that he was absent in De-
cember when they voted on Mr..
Shaw's application and that he
wanted his vote recorded in favor
of the petition.
He moved to rescind the previ-
Gus action. The motion was Sec
onded by George C. (Ace) Es-
worthy, who abstained from voting
December 81. Jamison, Esworthy
and Wesley |. Sauter voted to re-
scind, while Mr.. Johns and Mr..
Youngblood voted negatively.
Then Mr.. Jamison moved that
the Shaw application be approved.
CouncilmeD Sauter and Esworthy
voted affirmatively to the disgust
of Councilmen Johns and Young
blood. Mr.. Johns said the reversal
was "the worst thing that has been
done in the whole "a months of our
service as commissioners" and he
accused Mr.. Jamison of playing
politics for the Democratic or
ganization in the hope of getting
himself elected sheriff.
Mr.. Johns said 1t was unfair
and improper to rezone the prop
erty for Mr.. Shaw when the COM
missioners had rejected similar APP
plications from others. He also
said that he had been put under
pressure by real estate men in
Montgomery, District of Columbia
and Baltimore to have certain
property rezoned favorable to
them. He said he refused because
he considered the changes against
the citizens interest. He said the
real estate dealers had asked him
what / wanted them to do for
me" in exchange for the favors.
The question Immediately arose
whether the action, taken after adj
journment was legal. II was point
ed out that the motion was not
offered by a member who had
voted with the majority in the pre-
vious instance, and the motions
second came from member who
had abstained from voting Deem
Der 81.

stead, Lewis Merriam and P. Gar
land Lyon has been appointed to

county and will be responsible
solely to the seven-member council.
AS supervisor, Mr.. McNayr is

for the retention of efficient, COM
petent and faithful personnel, re-
gardless of their politics or any
position taken by them regarding
the adoption of the charter" the
statement said. 1t continued:
County personnel will hold
their positions on merit, not politi-
cal influence or preferment. They
will, of course, be required hence
forth at all times to observe the
charter prohibition against engag-
ing in political activity and char
ter requirements that full time be
given to official duties, as well as
other provisions of Article 5.
Personnel of departments and
agencies subject to the charter
will be responsible to the county
manager, as the chief administra-
tive officer of the county, and will
have no direct responsibility or
obligation to council members. The
only exceptions are the office of
the county attorney ard the coun-
ellis own office force, both of which
are directly responsible to the
council.
"The provisions of the charter
and, when adopted, the merit sys-
tenn regulations hereunder, will
be both incentive and protection to
county personnel DESTROYS of the
opportunity to render competent
service.
GAS reorganization of depart
ments and agencies proceeds under
the charter in the interest of a
greater governmental effectiveness
economy, and positions are abol-
ished or created in connection with
such reorganization, every effort
will be made to provide for reten-
ton of present personnel in appro-
pirate capacities, in accordance
with the merit principles above
stated"
