A Worthwhile Project

AT long last it appears that something is about
to be done to educate county motobke and scooter
riders few weeks ago at Bethesda and Silver Spring.
quite large number of scooter riders arrested by
the local Police Department for stealing wheelbarrow
tires from nearby construction jobs that the
rubber tires of wheebarrow could be used on motor
scooter SO the boys ganged together for the loot
This type of foolish prank together with reckless driv
ing, few itchy youngsters couldn't resist, convinced
Maurice G. Brown, Jr. owner of the Rockville Cycle
Center, that something should be done and done
quickly.
MIR. Brown, who has opened bicycle store at $40
Commerce Lane is anxious to set up motor bike club
here in Rockville the purpose of which is to educate
and develop law abiding habits for those boys who like
to ride for fun or to work a motor bicycle or
scooter.
This is most worthwhile project and the Sentinel
commends the public spirit shown by Mr. Brown.

Co. Delegation
Made A Valiant
Fight, Ames Says

Colonel Norman B. Ames, presi-
dent of the Montgomery County
Charter Committee, released the
following statement to the commit
tee yesterday Wednesday,:
"The Montgomery County Dele
CATION to the Maryland General
Assembly is to be commended for
it's valiant fight for home rule leg
islation. The present Delegates and
Senator representing Montgomery
County were elected on a home rule
platform and they have attempted
to carry out their promises.
at is a well-known fact they
were prevented from doing so
largely through the efforts of Col.
Brooke Lee, trading on his prom
ises that his powerful Montgomery
County machine will be returned
to power in the 1850 elections; and
that powerful administration in
fiuence was exerted to defeat the
program of the Montgomery Dele
cation.
Defeat of this program was ac-
complished in the face of the long
standing courtesy rule under
which the wishes of County Dele
cations to the General Assembly
generally are honored with regard
to legislation specifically affecting
the areas they represent.
at is an open secret that this
has caused considerable concern in
Annapolis and in Maryland politi-
cal circles generally, and that word
has gone out that if Col. Lees ma
chine fails to regain control in the
1850 election, and if a delegation
favoring home rule again is elect
ed, then the General Assembly will
disregard the wishes of Col. Lee,
and support the program desired
by Montgomery County," Col.
Ames concludes.
