Washington Ancestry Shown
I'm Newspaper From ENGLAND

Interesting reading, which is
especially appropriate at this time,
was provided in an article APP
Fearing in the Manchester Daily
Dispatch, set us by Mrs. Henry
Duckworth, Halpine, from her ma
tive Lancashire. The article gives
an insight into the ancestry of the
Washington family. Americans are
prone to forget that their ancestors
came from across the seas. Like
many other families, the Washing
ton family is closely linked to Eng
land, and the villagers of Warrior,
Lancashire, are ready to supply
any amount of evidence to prove
their claim to the ancestors of our
first president.
"This sleepy little village, with
it's one long, winding street, not
only was the home of the Wash
ingtons, but it also supplied the
United States with original design
for the Stars and Stripes" claims

Lancashire newspaper. The paper
continues, ain the tower wall of

An Airport For Co.?
NO-O-O Says "BOssy"

1t is clear that the County
Council is becoming very con-
scious of its farmers. Council
man j. Douglas Bradshaw, at
Tuesdays meeting of The Coun-
ty Council expressed concern
that county's civic leaders and
business organizations apparent
ly have not given consideration
to the discussed location of a
second Washington airport in
Virginia.
Mr.. Bradshaw thinks Mont
gomery County has ample room
for an airport. Mrs. Himstead
remarked that she thought
Montgomery Countians would
almost pay the government to
put the airport in Virginia.
Councilman Selby and Kelly
quickly agreed that the farm
ers would not like 1.-THE
planes would disturb the cows"
added Mr.. Kelley. Someone
laughingly remarked that it
might cause the cows to give
buttermilk. Mr.. Bradshaw,
getting no support, dropped the
discussion.

In the town of Warrior stands
the house where many Washingtons

three generations later George
Washington was born.
Naturally many stories grow
from the lives of famous persons.
While it is wonderful to know that
the father of our country and his
ancestors were above the rank and

know they too were human. The

Be In Effect
March 10th
Measure Countrywide
In Scope Took Two
Years To Compile

The long awaited and much de-
tailed fire code for the county was
approved Tuesday by the County
Council and will go into effect
March 18th. The code is applicable
throughout the county. Drafted by
13-member committee headed by
Albert E. Conradis, former county
public utilities agent, who was
asked by the former Republican
Board of Commissioners to do the
job, the approval was the culmin-
alton of more than two years.
work.
The 9S-page code contains reg
ulations governing explosives,
maintenance and operation of
buildings, storage of inflamable
liquids, handling and storage of
gases, special structures highly
combustible products and hazard
Gus chemicals, hazardous opera
tions, and general fire safety re-
quirements.
The Council urged Incorporated
towns and villages, having the
power to adopt their own fire reg
ulations, but not enforcement ma
chinery, to adopt the county code
as their own and to request the
county to administer it for them.

indicated the awareness of the

the area.
Frederic P. Lee, Council prssi-
dent, at the outset, explained the
hearing was called to determine
first, whether there is need for the
planning; and second, if the need
exists, how the planning should be
done. He stressed that the immedi-
ate concern is the regulation OF
subdivision development.
Irving G. Root, Superintendent
of National Parks in the area, de-
clared there is need for such plan

ace to long-range planning. He
expressed no preference as to the
agency to do such planning.
The President of the
MNCPPC, Blair Lee III, objected
to so many planning agencies. II
planning is done up-county, his
agency should do the job, he said.
He added that Major General u. s..
Grant III, chairman emeritus of
the MNCPPC, is Of like mind. Mr..
Lee cited the wisdom of the Quaker
neighborhood of Sandy Spring and
environs which brought its area
within the regional district tenl
years ago.
Speaking for the County Farm
Bureau, Lathrop Smith expressed
concern over the contemporaries
haste" which he said the Council
has shown and the "blank-check
aspect" of the proposed ordinance.
Irving Leroy McCathran, Mayor
of Washington Grove, told the
Council his community did not
want to be "taken over by con-
quest" but would be glad to Ego
along" on sound planning and zon-
ing. He sought and obtained as
surance from Councilman Lee that
the ordinance would not abrogate
