The Republican State Central
Committee through it's chairman

Republican State Central Commit
tee Of Montgomery County that the

sufficient opportunity in the past
to meet with representatives of
the two political parties to discuss
the issues of the political cam
paigns. ee
with this in mind, the Re-
publican State Central COMMITTEES
is contracting all Of the citizens
associations and many other clubs
and organizations In the county
and suggesting that as a civic serv-
ice they might be willing to devote
a meeting or meetings between the
primary, September 10, and the
General election, November z, to a
discussion of the political issues Of
this election with the representa-
tives Of both political parties.
at is further suggested that such
meetings might consist of short,
Is or 20 minute, presentation of
the issues by the party representa-
tives followed by a question and
answer period"

The Corn Dip, an innovation
in party primary rallies in these
parts, is sponsored by the elected
Democrat precinct officials of
Montgomery County's farming
community and the Montgomery
County Democratic Victory Com
mittee. The precinct officials
taking part in furthering the event
reside in the Poolesville, Damascus,
Jamestown, Gaithersburg, Rock
vile, Olney and Sandy Springs
area.
In keeping with the general
spirit of an outdoor country get
together the candidates to be heard
at the rally will dispense with
soapboxes, stumps and decorated
platforms and instead will do their
speaking from farm wagons. The
Victory Committee is sponsoring
a ticket of AZ candidates for State
wide and County offices.
J. Forest Walker, former County
Treasurer and Clerk of the Board
of County Commissioners, who is
candidate for the Democratic State
Central Committee is chairman of
the rally. David Brigham of Ash
ton, a member of the Victory Com
mittee, will act as master of cere-
monies.
For the benefit of the unintiated,
Mr.. Walker explains that country
Corn Dip" provides the best OPP
portunity for bringing out the
most pleasure and enjoyment from
a freshly harvested ear of corn.
It's the method used that en-
courages the corn to yield flavor
not known to those who toss few
ears in the pot and let them
boil. To begin with the husk on
the ear is stripped back to form a
neat tail as it were. These ends
are then tied in punches of six or
so and suspends on rod over the
kettle to boil for five minutes. To
hold the flavor and keep the ears
hot until eaten, the punches of
corn are then suspended in steam
rising up from a second kettle. The
corn is served with the husk the
better to dip the ear in melted but
ter.
Frank Bliss of Colesville and
Albert Cissel of Darnestown are
obtaining ten iron kettles from
farmers in the area. The cord
wood supply problem is in the
hands of Richard H. Lansdale of
Olney and Upton Gladhill of DAM
ascus. Jerry T. Williams of Dam
ascus is responsible for seeing that
there is an adequate supply of
corn on hand, two wagonloads of
it or some 5000 or 1000 ears. Mr..
Walker will take care of the butter
requirements.

Draft Boards
Report Prompt
Registration

Maryland draft boards are now
summoning 22-year-olds to take
einduction tests, Col. H. c. Stan
wood, State Selective Service d.
rector, said this week. The Rock
vile Board reported that three
young men passed preliminary ex-
aminations and are waiting draft
call. They are: Charles Mathis,
Rockville; Robert A. Moore, Olney
and John A. Rolfe, Poolesville.
Mrs. Margaret Ertter, clerk at
Local Draft Board No. So, located
above the Rockville Post Office,
stated that registration during the
past few weeks has been prompt
and that there have been no de-
linquent registrations.
To date, Col. StanwooG said, a.
Maryland youths have actually
been put on active duty through
the draft-boards, of the September
October quota for the State of
l,474. He said that the percentage
OF men who pass examinations has
risen from az per cent TO as to AZ
per cent. This is probably ac-
counted for by the fact that the
boards are getting into the young
Ell groups, it was explained.
Col. Stanwood again emphasized
that if younger men who fail t.
report for preinduction tests AZ
ordered do not respond to Their
second summons, their names arc

1891 to 1945, to grow to 1000 tele-
phones"
In commenting further on service
in the old days, Barncord mentioned
that in 1896 it was decided to keep
the telephone Office open as late as
800 in the evening so that calls
could be made anytime between
700 A. M. and 500 P. M. At that
time, the switchboard was installed
in the home of the operator, Mrs.
Helen Hogan. By 1906, Barn
cord pointed out, the number of
telephones had increased to " and
the C. & P. Company took over the
Gaithersburg Exchange and intro
duced 24-hour service.
"The telephone system grew with
Gaithersburg," Barncord said, "and
in May, 1907 the switchboards
were moved to new building on
Frederick Avenue near Brooks
Avenue and changed from coffee
grinder" instruments to the pres
ent common battery" style. Our
latest improvement has been to
move the business Office to PA +.
Diamond Avenue in order to pro-
vide a more adequate service for
the public"
Also assisting in the ceremonies
we're Mrs. Jean Serf, Gathers
burg chief operator, who personally
handled the first call from this telc-
phone and G. w. Snouffer who as
sisted Ambrose in stringing the
necessary wire to connect the tele-
phone to the line.

County First
To Set Ober
Regulations
Provides Hearing
Before Members Of
Personnel Board

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil on Tuesday approved two new
Personnel Board regulations gov
erning employees Of the County.
One of the regulations covers pro-
visions for implementing the Ober
Law prohibits the employment
of subversives and provides for
the dismissal of any employee
found to be subversive and the
other regulation covers the rein
statement and other rights Of en-
ployees entering military service.
Abraham Perez, 20, married, of
Washington, was appointed to
position of Junior Engineer, En-
cheering Division Of Department
of Public Works, with starting
salary of $1,000 per annum, effec-
tive August %, 1850. Mr.. Perez
holds bachelor of civil engineer
ing degree from Catholic Univer-
sity.
Officials believe Montgomery is
the first Maryland county to i'm
plement the ODER law. All local
governmental units are required
to do so.
The councils resolution follows
specific steps outlined in the Ober
Law, and gives these new powers
to the County Personnel Board:
l.. To hold hearings for en-
ployes accused of being subversive.
2. To investigate the loyalty Of
candidates for employment by de-
termining whether or not they be-
long to subversive groups.
8. To refuse employment to job
applicants and to fire employees
where there is Convincing evid-
ence" Of disloyalty.
1t it's resolution the County
Council defined a "subversive
group" as one (which engages in,
abets, advises or teaches activities
intended to overthrow, destroy, or
alter. the constitutional form
of the Government Of the United
States, of the State of Maryland,
or of any subdivision thereof"
County Manager Irving McNayr
said the Councils action was un-
doubtedly expedited" by the case
of a county school teacher who
was fired by School Superintendent
Edwin w. Broome after he re-
fused to tell the House un-Amer-
lean Activities Committee whether
he was or was not a Communist.
Mr.. McNayr pointed out that
the machinery adopted now pro-
vides for hearing in such cases.
Permanent employees who enter
military service may now get their
old jobs back if they make applica-
ton for reinstatement within 90
days after discharge-and can
still perform their old duties.
If the county job is reclassified
or upgraded while the employee Is
in the service, he is entitled to re-
turn to the job under its new class
ification.
Fire Marshal Howe proposed
several amendments to the Coun-
ty Fire Prevention Code relating
to "the handling, storage and use
of fammable liquids in buildings
and private residences.
A public hearing will be held on
proposed amendments on Tuesday,
September 10, 1850 at the Court
house in Rockville at $3.50 p. M.
