T'koma Police
STATION To Be
Eliminated.
Council Repeats The
Former Board Action
Regarding Road Repair

The Montgomery County Council
on Tuesday passed resolution
eliminating the county police sub
station at Takoma Park, effective
August 10.
The resolution eliminating the
substation authorized the return
to the city of the proceeds derived
from IL cents of the tax rate on
town property by the county so
the town can enlarge its police
force.
Councilman ]. Douglas Brad
shaw, who introduced the resolu-
ton, said this would amont to
$4,000 annually.
AS result of the action, four
county policemen and three desk
clerks now assigned to Takoma
Park will be transferred to other
stations. According to Mr., Brad
shaw, they will be replaced with
four additional town policemen.
The present setup has been at
tackled by town officials as causing
friction between county and town
police.
The Council repealed resolutions
adopted in October, 1947, by the
former Board of County Com
missioners in which the board said
the county would pay one-third Of
the cost of street repairs and pro-
perty owners affected would pay
the remainder as we'll as the full
cost of curbs and cutters.
In the future, the council said,
property owners involved in front
foot benefit assessments will have
the option of paying the cost in
advance of over 10-year period
at an interest rate of 9 per cent.
Nearly half of the 20 Negro
schools in Montgomery County

ing to a survey by the Negro
School Committee Of the County
Community Chest and Council.
Results Of the survey, which
covered the period from February
8 to March 7, were.presented Tues
day to the County Council.
The survey showed that four
of the schools receive their water
from public supply and that the
remaining l6 use pumps. Only
those using public supply and
of the l6 using pumps reported
their supply as satisfactory.

Members of the Upper Mont
gomery Farmers Club and Wilton
I. Allen, supervisor of assessments
will go before the State Tax Com
mission in Baltimore to review as
sessments on farm proptry in this
county which is declared to be as
sessed tout of line" with property
in other counties, the County
Council was informed Tuesday
while in executive session.
Later the Council made public
letters written by John M. Beane,
chairman of committee for the
Club and Mr.. Allen, which showed
that after a protest of the asses
sments an adjustment had been
made to dairy farmers-but others
still think their land assessed TOO
high.
Mr.. Allen stated in his letter
that as result of meeting with
Basil Mobley, president of the
Farmers Club, Mr.. Beane, Law
son King, Allie Messer, Tom Gar
rett and Upton Gladhill at his
office, he and two assessors accom-
panied Mr.. Gladhill, Mr.. Garrett
and Mr.. King to Frederick County
and visited several farms picked
out by the committee in order to
make comparison between the
two Counties. 1t was decided TO
make a resurvey of all dairy farms
that had been re-assessed to de-
termine whether these farms had
been assessed in accordance with
instructions as laid down by the
State Tax Commission. Upon find
ing that many of the barns and
silos had been constructed with
home labor as well as home sawed
lumber, $50 depreciation figure
was to be allowed over the original
assessment as called for to make
allowance for this condition. A
meeting was arranged with Mr..
King, representing the original
Committee and he was informed
of this decision. Mr.. King agreed
with the new figure and stated that
it was most fair and equitable and
stated that he would so recommend
to the Committee. Notices of this
new assessment figure are being
prepared to be sent at the present
time.
Mr.. Allen further stated: 81

NEWS FOR WAR VETERANS

A number of veterans each
month run the risk of allowing
their National Service Life Insur-
ance to lapse because they don't
take second look before mail
ing their premium payments.
Last month the VA district of
flee in Columbus, which handles
CT insurance for veterans in
Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky, re-
ceiVed approximately $50 checks,
money orders and postal notes
that could not be cashed although
they were intended to pay NSLI
premiums. Many checks were
not signed. Others were made
payable to various companies and
organizations that have no con-
nection with the veterans admin
istration.
One veteran, for example, sent
VA a check obviously intended
for his local telephone company,
and, apparently, the telephone
company received the check he
intended to send to the veterans
administration. This is a fairly
common error.
VA attempts to clear up such
mistakes Immediately, but if the
veteran who forgets to sign his
check, or mails the wrong one,
is near the end of his 31-day
grace period there is always the
danger that his insurance may

"A LITTLE CHILD"

How sweet is the face of an innocent child
AS fresh as the sweet deWs of eve;
If we could believe with the faith of child
Gods richest blessing of life we'd receive.
If we could but love with the heart of a child
So pure-hearted loving and free
Our lives would be richer and better each day
With visions of rich blessings to be.
If could but touch with the hand of child
How fingers would gently entwne
Just dear gentle touch to enlghten the pain
OF the hearts that closest to Thine. =
If could but walk with the steps of child
Oh how lightly footsteps would tread
To the sraghtest and narroWest path would cling,
Near the path where Savior has led.
If we could but hear with the of "a child
What lesson of love would give
To carry Gods message to far away lands
Where SO few of Gods people can live.
If could but speak with the lips of child
His Grace unto would be given
To live life anew and like children be true -
For Of such is the Kingdom OF Heaven.

When improperly executed

to the veteran within "a hours.
But his premium cannot be
marked paid" until he sends

Regular use of these special en-

Aside. from the jockeying for
position occasioned by the senate
filibuster on change in the rules,
on both sides of the political aisle
and the seemingly certainty Of
senate ratification of the North
Atlantic Pact, a strengthening of
the position of the butter groups
as against the oleo manufacture
ers appeared to be the outstand-
ing development in the congress.
Of Importance to the farmers
was bill introduced by Senator
Thomas, of Oklahoma, chairman
of the senate agricultural COM
mittee which would divorce the
agricultural extension service
from its present tie-up with the
Farm Bureau federation. Senator
Thomas declared there are many
instances in the present set-up
of the agricultural extension
service which are "unjustifiable
and preferential to one farm or
ganization and contrary to prop
er standards of relationships be-
tween a governmental agency
and private group.
1t seems that in some states,
local laws provide that before
agricultural service can be set
up there must be established
county extension associations
and in eight states the law re-
quires such an association of far
mers to be set up before any
appropriations can be made for
extension service. The Farm Bu-
reau it seems has stepped into
these positions and become the
organization of farmers and thus
has dominated the agricultural
extension service in preference
to other farm ganizations.
Other action important to far
mers was that taken by the lead
ing farm organizations here to
prevent the Interstate Commerce
commission from granting rate
increase to railroads. The Farm
Bureau federation based its op-
position on an important point.
1t took the position that instead
of granting the 13 percent in
crease asked, it was the response
bility and obligation of the ICC
to first determine whether or
not railroads were operating ef-
ficiently..
On the oleo front a house COM
mittee reported out a bill which
would eliminate tax on oIeo, but
which would still prohibit sale
of colored oleo in states where
it is prohibited by state law.
This is conceded to be victory
for the butter people who have
abandoned their stand on the
taxing of oleo and are concert
ing their drive on the sole ques-
ton of color.
The house committee also re-
ported out favorably a bill which
