OFFICE MOVE
Six Appointments
Announced For The

Strong objection to the transfer

gineer's office from Silver Spring

in the building was leased last
week at $4,000 a year for q two
year period
Headed by Page F. Hopkins,
president of the Prince George

delegation based its opposition
primarily on the inaccessabilty Of
Rockville to developers doing daily
business with the county engineer.
Plans for expansion Of the en-
gineer's functions will include more
operations in the upper county,
County Manager Irving G. McNayr
said in reply to q statement that
90 percent Of construction under
his supervision takes place in the

If physically divorced from the
rest of the Department Of Public
Works, the engineers office can
not give proper and adequate
service to the people," GeorgB
Papageorge, public works director.

Halloween
Activities
Please Orrtle
COmmends Organiza-
tiOns Planning Group
Parties

Police Chief Charles M. Orme
this week expressed the belief that
planned Halloween activities by
civic, religious and fraternal
groups this year greatly reduced
the vandalism and destruction US
ually taking place at this season.
He also voiced opinion that talks
to the children on this subject by
way of radio, school assemblies
and the churches, had much to do
with the fact that disturbances
were kept at a minimum. The
vigilance of officers of the Police
Departments was also a deter
mining factor, Chief Orme said.
Of the calls received by the Po-
lice Department on Halloween,
Chief Orme said most were of a
trivial nature. Probably the most
serious offense was the opening of
numerous fire hydrants in the
Bethesda area.
Although there were many cele-
brations throughout the County,
probably the largest was the street
party in Gaithersburg, where even
some of the winners of the various
prizes, became lost in the shuttle
and returned home without their
awards. In Rockville, at least 800
children enjoyed the night of fun
at St. Mary's Hall, sponsored by
the Catholic Church for youngsters
of all denominations.
"The groups who sponsored these
planned evenings of fun should be
highly commended, the police chief
said.
