County Council
Asks Action on
Doctors Offices
Medical Society Told
To Find Solution
In Zoning Problem

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil has urged the County Medical
Society to come up with a con-
crete proposal as to what should
be done about % Silver Spring and
Bethesda physicians who are
Illegally maintaining Offices in
Residential A zones.
The % physicians were ordered
last May to yacate their offices
but were granted a reprieve on
the plea of the Medical Society.
Under the county Zoning ordi-
nance, physicians may maintain
Offices in Residential A zones only
If they also live there.
The council yesterday instructed
it's clerk to write the society to
inquire whether the doctors have
worked out any solution. 1t was
indicated that unless the doctors
produce some proposal soon, the
council will direct county officials
to carry out the eviction order.
Plans Concrete Proposal.
DR.. William Welsh, head of the
county Medical Society, said he
plans to present concrete pro-
posal to the council next Tuesday.
He said the council suggested to
him two weeks ago that the society
propose an amendment to the zon-
ing law, but he said it is very
difficult to word an amendment in
such a way as to not open up
Residential A zones TO undesirable
establishments.
The council yesterday also
filled three more top positions in
the county's new Department LIZ
braries, named 40 part-time spe-
cial police guards. Is of them

Human squirrels who don't
trust banks and hide their
money in the most incredible
places, salvage about $4,000
daily from the Treasury Depart
ment. but their losses run into
untold millions every year.
Charred fragments of paper,
and rotted, water logged masses
of currency, rags and wood
come to the Treasury daily, ac-
companied by pathetic appeals
to please do something about
redeeming lost treasure troves.
Two score patient, Skillful
women employees in the Cur
rency Redemption Division,
working with four-power mag
nifying glasses and needle-like
tools, go to work on the "lost"
money and accomplish miracles
in re-establishing it's value.
Money-Burning Season.
The big money-burning sea-
son is close at hand, because
lots of squirrels" during the
summer, busily hoard bills in
chimney f1ues, stovepipes and
in furnaces and oil burners.
Then comes chilly day, when
the squirrel is away, and his
Cor herr mate starts the first
fire of the season. The "squir-
rel" comes home to find the
house cozy and warm and rushes
to the hiding place.
Soon a box of SCOT and paper
and wood ashes is en- route to
Washington.
The money squirrel is un-
believably resourceful in finding
hiding places where no one
would ever think of looking for
money. Take the case of the
Mid-western housewife, for in
stance. She had a toaster with
broken plug. Over the yeN4

Sweden Monarchy
Traced Since 1923

AS far back as written history
goes, Sweden has always been
ruled by king. In modern his
tory (since 1929 two dynasties,
the House of Vasa and the House
Of Bernadotte, have held the
throne for 262 out of 426 years.
The first Vasa, Gustaf Vasa, or
Gustaf 1, ruled for 81 years, re-
placing chaos with order.
The House of Bernadotte was
created in 1910 by the election
of one of Napoleons marshals as
heir to the Swedish throne. A ma
tive of the French Pyrenees, he
was crowned king in 1878 as Karl
Johan. By law only male descend
ants of the royal house can reign
over Sweden.
Present King Gustaf Adolf is
married to Louise, sister of Lord
Louis Mountba.ten, since 1923. His
son, also named Gustaf Adolf, died
in 1947, passing his position as
prppective heir to his son, baby
prince Carl Gustaf, now three
years.
Next in line is Prince Bertil,
the only one of the Crown Princes
sons who has retained hereditary
rights. His other two living sons
forfeited their hereditary rights by
marrying commoners.)

Enormous benefits for the ma
tional economy are involved in the
fight against disease. This is borne
out by survey which has recent
ly been published in the official
organ of Sweden's provincial ad-
ministration, which shows that
production losses due to illness
amount to 1900 million kronor an
nually. To this sum ust be added
private and public expenditures
which total about 900 million kro-
nor annually, or around 1875 kro-
nor per inhabitant. The main pur-
pose of the investigation has been
not so much to show the enormous
losses annually caused by disease
as to point out the vast benefits
to the national economy which will
in the long run come as a result
of the campaign for preventive
medicine and the fight against di-
sase.
American research, especially in
the anthropological and allied sci
ences, receive substantial support
through the Viking fund, which
was established in 1941 by the
Swedish industrialist Axel Wen
ner-Gren, according to an account
in Svenska Dagbladet.
The latest annual report shows
that sum of 6S5,OOO dollars was
realized on the capital during the
last fiscal year, of which 581 ,673
dollars was used to support vari-
Gus forms of scientific research.
On the initiative of Mr.. Wenner-
Gren increased collaboration has
been bhshed during the past
several years between the Viking
fund and institutions in Sweden
founded by him, namely the Wen
ner-Gren Society and the Wenner-
Gren Institute.
