County Council
And Successors
Hold Joint Meet
Office Building To
Be Started Shortly.
Contracts Awarded

The recently elected new County
Council sat in with the old Coun-
ell for the regular session in Rock
vile on Tuesday, in an effort to
become acquainted with their new
duties.
Harold F. Hammond, Republi-
can, is the only member of the old
Council who ran for reelection. He
was successful and it is expected
that he will be elected president,
to succeed Frederic P. Lee.
Mrs. Stella B. Werner, newly
elected, also knows her way around.
She has been covering the Council
since it started two years ago for
her radio broadcast and for a
Bethesda weekly newspaper. Be-
fore that she had attended the
meetings of the County Commits
sioners. Mrs. Werner and Grover
Walker are the only two Demo-
Gratis on the new Council. The other
five members are Republican. They
are Lathrop E. Smith, George F.
Nesbitt, Mrs. Kathryn ]. Lawlor
and j. Louis Monarch.
Contract for $1,154,000 for con-

est of four bidders.

The newly elected legislature
will have big job on its hands
at the session starting January 3.
1t is expected that 1000 or more
pieces of Legislation will be sub
mitted before adjournment. Under
consideration during the 9O-day
meeting will be such matters as
what to do about the summoning
of constitutional convention call
ed for in a referendum in last
weeks election. Voters approved the
calling of convention to draw up
a new document to replace Mary
lands much-amended 83-year-old
constitution. The question is wheth-
err the margin was wide enough.
Twenty years ago, after a similar
referendum with . similar result,
the legislature decided not to call
constitution convention. 1t held
that, under the constitution,
majority of all votes cast in the
election was necessary to make it
mandate for a convention-not
a majority of votes cast on the par
ticular issue.
Also to be decided is whether
7th congressional district should be
carved out of one or more of the
existing six districts, or whether
to make the seventh congressman
a representative-at-large. The CEN
sus results made Maryland entitl-
ed to new congressman The con-
sensus Is that the Legislature win
turn down any proposal to change
the existing six congressional dis
tricts. Instead, observers believe, it
will provide for the election Of
congressman-at-large.
Veterans bonus proposals which
have cropped up at each of the last
two sessions failing each time),
will again be question for deci-
sion. Both the Democratic and
Republican election campaign plat
forms pledged support for legisla-
ton to place the question before
the electorate at referendum at
the next general election.
1t is a sure bet that bills to re-
wise the method of assessing prop
critics for tax purposes will come
up. Measures designed to revise
the maximum truck weight laws
also may be introduced.
Only 12 of the 30 incumbent SEN
ators and 81 Of the delegates Of
the dying Legislature will be back
for new terms. Delegate Anders
r. Lofstrand, Republican, of Rock
vile, may be the one to succeed
House Minority Leader Ramsburg
of Frederick.
There will be 8S Democrats and
35 Republicans in the House, COM
pared with the present 81 and 80
split. The Democrats will have q
sure 10 senators and the Repub-
leans elected at least 10.

\ In loving remembrance. of our
dear little boy, Kenneth Lee ChildS,
who passed away two years ago,
December 4, l94S,
A bud that the Greater Gardener
gave to us,
A sweet and loving child;
He gave it to our keeping,
To cherish for a awhile,
Just as the bud was opening
To the glory of the day,
Down came the Heavenly Father
And took our bud away.
We miss his love, his CHEEKY ways;
Please, God, just let him know
That we down here do not forget;
We loved and miss him SO,
Keep him Jesus in Thy keeping
Till we reach the shining shore,
Then, Oh, Master, let us have him
To love and cherish as before.

New Motion Camera Lens
Developed by Scientists

University OF Rochester seien.
lists have developed a new motion
picture camera made from astifi-
eial sapphire which is believed to
have several advantages over OPP
teal glass lenses.
This was revealed by DR., Robert
\, Hopkins, associate professor OF
optics, and Or, Brian o'Brien, pro-
lessor OF physiological optics and
director Of the institute Of optics
at the University OF Rochester,
In perfeeting the sapphire lens,
the Rochester researchers have
overcome difficulties which de.
layed its development for many
years, The 2eiSS company OF Ger
many gave up ON the problem 20
years ago, II was said.
One advantage OF the sapphire
lens is its extreme hardness. II
Is second only to the diamond in
the hardness OF natural gems.
Used for the outside element OF an
optical system, Il is almost impcs.
Sible to scratch il, In fact, II can
be cleaped by securing with sand
without injury, Or, oBrien said.
The sapphire lens high refrae.
tive index and low dispersion
gives the lens designer Tar greater
freedom in eliminating alterations
and improving the quality and
sharpness OF images produced.
the Rochester men reported,
Light in entering sapphire
from the air Is slowed down TO
only n little more than half its
speed" DR., o'Brien explained.
"fhe bending OF light rays by a
lens is thus accomplished with
pat,er lens curves and many ad.
vantages are derived from this. In
addition TO having the very high
retroactive index. sapphire. has
what is known as a very low dis.
pcrSion, That is. the retraetive in.
deS changes very little with the
color OF the light. and no glass as
yet discovered can compare with
sapphire In the combination OF
these two properties"
