Day parade and the celebration,
which will mark the departments
25th Anniversary, will be the pre-
sidents and chiefs who have served
during the departments history.
The first chief was Merle Jacobs,
now building inspector for Mont
gomery County. He was succeed
ed by Edward Kinsey and, in turn,
was succeeded by Moffett Grim,
better known to the citizenery as
"Sparky."
Robert Dutrow followed "Spar-
KY" Kenneth Miller was next.
Both of these men are now mem
bers of the Montgomery County
Police Force. The present chief,
Charles P. Fox, succeeded Mr.. Mil
Ter. Chief Fox also is a member
of the Town Council of Gathers
burg.
First president of the company,
chosen in 1927 was Frank Sever
ance. Mr.. Severance, who still re-
sides in Gaithersburg, is president
of the Citizens Building and Loan
Company and can be found in the
company's Rockville office.
Second president was Ernest c.
Gartner, Gaithersburg's funeral
director.
There is a tradition in the de-
partment in that the sons follow
in their fathers footsteps. In the
case of Mrs. Gartner, who had two
daughters, it was his son-in-law
who become a member Of the de-
partment and later president.
Lewis Reed, Douglas Diamond,
c. o. Bardeau and William Waters
served the department in the mid
die period of the twenty-five years
Of the organization. All are now
living except Mr.. Waters. Forte
H. Sandison was elected to succeed
Mr.. Waters and Frederick s. Stolz
followed Mr.. Sandison.
Since 1927, the department has
grown from one pumper to four.

course offered by the Fire Exten-
sion Service Of the University Of

Gas Company
Applies for Is
Year Franchise

The Washington Gas Light COM
pany has applied to the county
council for a 25-year franchise to
operate in the county, but the per-
nit may be held up while the
council considers whether or not
to charge franchise fee.
Company officials, explaining
that the franchise is just techni-
cal move to facilitate a proposed
merger between the Washington
company and its Maryland sub
sidiary, said the $118 800 paid III
county taxes last year is adequate
and just" reimbursement to the
county without need of a further
fee.
But the council indicated it may
place a higher value on the per-
nit, which guarantees the company
the right to use county roads and
streets. AS in the case of the
Potomac Electric Power company.
councilmen said they think a fee
is in order.
Pepco's franchise, which expired
August 9 and was extended to
September "a, has been held up
while the company considers the
$780, 900 fee demanded by the coun-
ell for a 5-year franchise.

critical of public affairs could be
counted among the large percent
age of citizens who had not taken
the trouble to vote. Each of us
can get an answer to that question
only through the knowledge we
have of our own acquaintance.
We have known, however, that far
too many people not only FAIL TO
VOTE but an even greater num-
Der FAIL TO REGISTER.
Census figures recently released
give population; number of per-
sons over 81 years of age: 1852
e fmated registration; eligible to
register but not on books. An
analysis of these figures shows
that more than $50 of Maryland
residents over 81 years old are not

TO vote but ONE-HALF OF 65%
WHICH is LESS THAN ONE

easily complied with. Failure on
the part of anyone entitled to re-
gister and vote is deliberate
slight to the men who have given
their all for this privilege. 1t is
a gratuitous insult not only to the
memory of men who gave their
lives that we might enjoy this pri-
vilege but it is also an insult to
the families of those men. And
the fact that this insult is offered
unconsciously does not lessen the
degree.
