Elected School Board
Wins by 81 Margin
In Montgomery

Montgomery County voters have
given their emphatic approval of
a change from an appointed to an
elected non-partisan Board of
Education.
Unofficial returns from the
county's 63 polling places gave
the proposal better than a 3-to-1
majority in yesterdays refer
endum. The vote was 5.618 to
1,645.
AS a result, Montgomery be-
comes the first county in the State
to vest the power of selecting
school board members in the
people. They are now appointed
by the Governor, usually on rec
ommendation of the State Gen.
trail Committee of the party in
power.
David L. Weed, president of the
County Council of Parent Teacher
Associations, which led the fight
for an elected board, said he was
pleased at the outcome of the
voting.
Deplores Light Vote.
But he deplored the light vote
in which little more than 10
per cent of the approximately Co.
600 registered voters went to the
polls.
The small turnout of voters, I"
he said, would seem to indicate
the regrettable and shameful fact
still remains that the general pub
lie does not realize the problems
of public education concern all of
us and it is time for all to do
something about them"
The fact that both major parties
a hands-of attitude
on the question probably played a
major part in the failure of thou
sands of voters to participate in
the referendum.
Mr.. Weed said the Parent
Teacher Association Council will
ask its member organizations and
other groups interested in schools
to begin thinking of possible can
for the board.
Under the bill passed at the
last session of the General AS
sembly and placed before the vot-i
ers yesterday. Montgomery County
will have a seven-member school
board elected without party labels
for four-year terms, instead of
the present six who serve stag
gered terms.
Nomination by Petitions.
There will be one member from
each of the five County Council
districts and two elected at-large.
Nominations will be made by petit
tions bearing the signatures of
500 voters for a candidate-at-
large and 200 for a district can
didate.
There has been some dispute
over how the changeover to an
elected board will be made. Sew
eral opponents of the bill claim
there are no definite provisions
on how this will be done and that
the courts eventually will have
to decide.
But State Senator Dewitt S.
Hyde, who helped draft the meas
ure. said he interprets it this
way:
The three present board men,
bers who have the shortest periods
left in their terms will serve until
January. 1858. The remaining
will continue in Office until jan
uary /, 1855.
Election Next November.
The first election of board
will be held in Novem-
Der, 1852, when four will be named
at large. Seven new members will
be elected in November, 1854.
Senator Hyde also said he is
studying the possibility of a con-
stitutional amendment to permit
elected board members to serve
staggered terms. And he also may
seek to amend the bill in the Gen.
eral Assembly to provide for a
primary election.

N. c. While these fish are gen.
orally small, running from around
a pound up to two and a half
pounds in weight, they are about
twice as big as those which made
their first appearance in these
waters last year. Fish ranging to
four pounds are being taken of
the Jersey coast. We hope the
size of these early fish portends
bigger and better bluefiish in our
Chesapeake waters during July.
Chesapeake Bay angling has
been poor, but now that the
crabs are appearing in greater
numbers and commencing to cast
their shells after their winter hi
beration, it should pick up rapidly.
Everyone is wondering what Is
wrong with the hardhead this
season. 1t may be another of those

to appear near shore in the Ches-
