"GOOch Specials"
Plus Spaghetti At
Mems Dinner

Any unprecedented number Of
mid night emergency calls receiv-
ed by local medicoes on the night
of February 18 = which was the
night the Mems Group of the
Rockville Presbyterian Church held
their monthly dinner meeting -
can be attributed to spaghetti and
"gooch special"
The groups "mouthpiece" and
this reporter do not cast asper-
sions on cooking talents of Por-
ter WEIGH, John Haltwenger and
Charles Nicewarner, who turned
out spaghetti by-the-yard; nor do
they cast jaundiced eye at John
Haltwenger's connection - "Gooch
Special" What is under question,
is quantities consumed and not
quality.
Anyway, the Mems Club had a
dinner, a business meeting, plans
were formulated and a good time
was had by all.
The group announced that Boy
Scout Troop 448 will be re-regis-
tered in March and Elwood Hav-
ener, Scoutmaster, said new COM
mitteemen are needed. The troop,
sponsored by the group, meets ev-
cry Thursday evening at 1880 at
the Scout Hut over at Richard
Montgomery.
At the meeting, president John
Whelan thanked the group for
turning out to spread the gravel
along the walkways and the
men asked the way to the nearest
linament bottle.
Plans were made also for the
Mems Group to form teams of two
members for the purpose of calling
on families with Presbyterian
background in order to bring
family groups into the church.
AMONG other activities, the

Business Group
Takes Issue with
Elections Board
Interpretation of
School Board Election
Decried at Meeting

The Gaithersburg Businessmen's
Association has unanimously gone
on record as opposing the inter-
p citation given by the Board of
Election Supervisors to the new
Public Education" law passed in
1851, as it pertains to the election
of School Board members.
In a letter addressed to the
Board this week, the Businessmen's
Association pointed out that the
Boards Interpretation was not the
intent of the legislators.
After quoting the statute which
set forth the geographical distri-
button of the seven new members,
four of whom will be elected in
November of this year, the bust
ness group said:
"The Association feels that there
is no question of the intent of the
legislators, and that the clear and
language of the stat
ute does not permit of the inter-
probation given it by you.
"The Association further feels
that the implementation of the
statute, as written, would present
no difficulty whatsoever. 1t can
and should be done as follows:
Three appointed School Board
members are to continue in office
until January /, 1865. If those
three continuing members happen
to be from one council district, then
in the fall election, one new mem
Der should be elected from each of
the four districts. If the three
continuing members happen to be
from two council districts one new
member should be elected from
each of the three other council
districts and one at large. If the
three continuing members happen
to be from three council districts,
then one new member should be
elected from each of the other two
districts and two at large.
The Association urged the Board
to change its Interpretation.

Education Board
To Discuss NeU
School Needs Here

DR.. Richard Carpenter, assist
ant superintendent of Schools in
charge of supporting services, has
compiled a report for study by the
Board and communities in the
County on a possible $10,000,000
worth of school projects to be con-
sidered for a five-year period.
1t was pointed out by DR.. Car
penter, however, that the report
is not a recommendation but
starting point in discussions which
will take place in the county over
school needs in communities.
Also this week, the Board an
nounced it has awarded a contract
to Victor N. Judson, in the amount
of $319,507, for the construction

Twin Brook Group
Lends Support to
Block Cemetery
Pledges Support to
Joint Citizen Appeal
At Recent Meeting

Full support of the Joint
Citizens Group to appeal the
establishment of a cemetery
in Residential area adjacent
to the Twinbrook development
in Rockville was voted at a
meeting held this week by the
Twinbrook Citizens Associa-
ton at the Lone Oaks School
in Rockville. President Durant
Burton presided.
In reviewing the cemetery issue,
Mr.. Charles Collect, guest speak
er pointed out that permission to
establish a cemetery was granted
by the County Council, despite the
protests of several hundred persons
who attended the Council meeting
and petitions containing 1900 81
gnatures opposing the cemetery.
The Maryland National Capital
Parks and Planning Commission
also opposed the establishment of
the cemetery in this area.
Suits Filed
Suit by citizens against the GEM
etery was filed in the Circuit Court
in Rockville and was dismissed on
grounds that the court did not have
jurisdiction. This case has now
been appealed to the Court of APP

Or = is the tall, lanky, 51-year-
old Governor, who packs shrewd
campaigning know-how behind a
genial exterior, playing a good
game of footsie with party forces
who can be counted on to hand
,ahim second place on the COP tick

Whichever it becomes in
creasingly apparent to political
observers that something is brew
ing for McKeldin in '52 and the
answers to the questions are

ly in the State but in other sections
of the country where State delega-
tons and others are quietly letting
it be known they will be present
if a move is made for McKeldin at
the National Convention.
In-the-Bag
COP political thinkers and prog
nostigators, particularly those close
to the Governor, are greeting
questions on his candidacy with a
g.eam-in-the-eye. They are dis
cussing his political future with
assurance unusual in tempo even
for politicoes. They believe, at
least the vice presidential nomin-
alton is in the bag and that the
presidential bid is in the cards if
Taft and Eisenhower forces dead
lock in Chicago.

Keldin and not one of the COP
Wheel Horses who has been long
er in the national political lime

Maryland Important
In the first place, sources close
to the Governor point out that
the National COP has long been
urged to "do something" for Lord
Calvert's old bailiwick. Second,
the Maryland convention vote will
be more important this year be-
cause there'll be more of it to
count. The State has a new con-

Lashmutt in which she turned ov-
er to the Club 500 given her by
a woman whose daughter, 20 years
before, had borrowed from the

Inner Wheel
Hears Dawson
Court Talk

Walter Dawson, States Attor-
ney, was the guest speaker at last
Wednesdays meeting of the Rock
vile Inner Wheel. The meeting
was held at Olney Inn. Mrs. Adolph
Guide, jr., introduced the guest
speaker.
Mr.. Dawson spoke on the three
courts Of the County and described
their functions to the group. He
pointed out that organized crime
is practically non-existent in Mont
gomery County and that gambling
and gamblers are equally missing
from the County. He attributed
this to the fact that law enforce
ment and law enforcement officials
in the County are stricter than in
the District or in other nearby
Maryland counties.
At the meeting, Mrs. Rose Buck
ingham read a letter from Mrs.
Lewis Reed which recommended
the first change in the Clubs con-
stitution since 1t was formed. Mrs.
Reed recommended that the con-
stitution be changed in connection
with privileges Of associate mem
bers. The recommendation viii be
read two additional times before
action is taken.
Mrs. Marshall Davis, president
Of the Inner Wheel presided at the
meeting. Birthday ladies'" who
received flowers were Mrs. Richard
Buckingham and Mrs. Mort Hayes.
Mrs. John Doonan made the pre-
sensations.
Mrs. Edgar johnson Of Gath
ersburg and Mrs. Thomas Andor-
son, who live near Rockville, were
guests of the group.
