that built the country. You
cannot help men permanently By
doing for them what they coulc
and should do for themselves.

On Sunday, June %, arrived
in Rockville, on my second visit
from Washington, searching for
the grave of a far-of grandpa and
grandma of pre- Revolutionary
days, and for additional material
on other pioneer Maryland fami-

This struggling ancestor Of
horse-and-buggy days was John
Magruder Tor MacGregor), who
was born in 1919 in Prince
Georges County, Md, and died in
Montgomery County in 1882, leav-

Of Alexander Magruder, the immi-
grant, who was born in Perthshire,
Scotland, in 1910, and died in
Prince Georges, at "Anchovie

Alexander Magruder was a

Margaret soon died and Alexander

another wife, taking Samuel with
him. Samuel soon grew up and
married o. Scottish lassie whose
name is unknown to us; they had
son Samuel Jr., born in 1860;
about this time the older Samuel

Beall (1625-1717, and whose name
was Sarah, he became entagled in
the Interregnum civil war. Ninian
Beall, however, was ahead Of him

must be the watchword."
The Committee pointed out
that the Democratic Party has
historically been the representa-
tive of the people and that It feels
the proposed platform is the ex-
press will of the citizens Of
Montgomery County, attained
through direct invitation to the
citizens to take part in its draft
ing. In commenting on the plat
form, Mr.. Kelly told the Sentinel
he would like to have made sect
ion of the proposed platform
much stronger" This section
recommends that land in Mont
gomery be assessed ION basis
uniform with every other county
in the State" Under the Equal
ization Act by which state aid for
education is rendered, this county
last year lost $4,000, and stands
to lose $435,O00 this year, tend
ing toward no assistance at all in
the near future, the Mayor
claims.
The complete platform follows:
l. We favor Constitutional
Convention to consider, among
other appropriate matters. the
broadening of local Home Rule
powers for counties and munich
palities; elective Boards of Edu-
cation on a state wide system for
all counties; truly proportional
representation in the State Legis-
lature.
2. We recognize that the sub
urban areas are essentially de-
tached home communities and
guarantee to them an orderly,

benefit of their ability, expert
ence and foresight in projecting
the future of Montgomery County
