Madison Rural Students
Study Farming Methods

A Part of the reason that Ohio
farmers produce more efficiently
today may be due to the fact that
they are better educated for their
vocation. This fall over 10000
future farmers of Ohio are enroll
ed in high school classes in voca-
tional agriculture.
The vocational gricul tur
course gives a farm boy an op-
portunity to study farm problems
during all four years in high
school. Almost as important to
the future is the start in farm
ing through a farming program
which he work out on his home
farm, often in partnership with
his father.
A total of 80 farm boys are en-
rolled in agriculture classes under
the direction of Robert Phillips
Teacher of Vocational Agricul-
ture, at Madison Local according
to Ralph McCambridge, Superin-
tendent of Schools.
In spite of a serious teacher
shortage vocational agriculture is
being offered in 76 of Ohios 88
counties this year according to w.
G. Weller, State Supervisor of
Vocational Agriculture. This Sep
tember, 308 teachers were on the
job as compared to 293 last year.
Weller points out that most of
the additional teachers were se-
cured from other states. Seneca
and Wayne Counties have the
largest number of schools offer
ing vocational agriculture courses,
with 9 in each county. Last year,
10,125 Ohio high school boys stud
led new ways of farming in voca-
tional agriculture classes. In addi-
ton, some 5000 young adult far
mers were enrolled in evening
classes conducted by these same
teachers.

Safety Award
To Ohio Bell

The highest honor that the Ma
tional Safety Council can bestow
went to The Ohio Bell Telephone
Company today in New York in
recognition of the company's out
standing safety record during 1850
and 1851.
In the form of a plaque, the
award was presented to E. Faber
Biggert, of Columbus, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
company's Southwestern Area, in
behalf of the company's 21,000
employees.
Records of the Ohio Bell and
other Bell operating companies
combined to give the entire Bell
System an accident rate less than
one-fifth that of industry in gen.
eral. During the two-year period
covered by the award, telephone
workers established an accident
frequency rate of less than one
accident for each half-million
hours worked, compared with
more than four accidents for in
dustry in general.
Not only did the Bell employees
have fewer accidents, but they also
had fewer of a serious nature
Their rate was less than one-tenth
that for other industries.
Biggert and representatives of
other Bell companies received
their awards from Ned H. Dear
born, National Safety Council
president. at a ceremony in the
American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company's headquarters
building.

AMARILLO, Tex, July 12.-An
Amarillo couple just back from
Mexico City say they witnessed an
attempt to assassinate the Presi-

day the story was "a lie."
Mr.. and Mrs. Warren Lowry
who had gone to Mexico City for
the Lions International Conven-

Eparently was suppressed by Mexi-

In Mexico City, after calling the
story "a lie." Rogerio de la Selva,
private secretary to President

the President himself whether
ANY further statement should be
made. Apparently officials, after
discussing the matter, decided not
to amplify the de Ia Selva COM

The stories were first published
in Texas during the convention
last month. At that time the

N-Day Suspensions
'0f2P Policemen Cut BY
Montgomery Board

The suspensions Of two Mont
gomery County policemen were
reduced from 80 days to 10 days
yesterday by the County Person
mel Board.
The two, Pvts. Robert w. Meal.
lister and Steve Preston Hall,
were suspended June II by Chief
Charles M. Orme for failing to
charge defendant with operating
"a motor vehicle while under the
influence of alcohol"
The board called the 3O-day
suspension without pay "unduly
severe"
The board delayed a decision
on suspension of two other po-
licemen, Corpl. Edward Lechlider
and Pvt. Robert M. Sigwald.
Corpl. Lechlider and Pvt. Sig
wald were suspended on a charge
of failure to exercise proper dis
cretion in execution of their
duties by ill-treating a defendant
charged with disorderly conduct. -
Follows Beating Probe.
.All of the suspensions followed
a H-day probe Of the alleged
beating Of Wesley r. Wilken, %,
Of IA Manchester drive, Silver
Spring. last June Z in the Silver
Spring Jail. The policemen ap-
pealed the suspensions to the
Personnel Board. A hearing was
held Wednesday night.
Pvts. McAllister and Hall
charged Mr.. Wilken with reckless
driving at the time of his arrest
He was released and a short time
later picked up for disorderly
conduct and tampering with q
motor vehicle. Mr.. Wilken said
he was beaten after the second
arrest.
The Personnel Board said there
apparently was a misunderstand-
ing in the police division as to
the policy to be followed in bor-
derline cases of driving under the
influence of alcohol.
The two policemen had said
they charged Mr.. Wilken with
reckless driving because they die
not think they could make q
drunk driving charge stick in
court.
Cited for Efficiency.
The board noted the two police
men "have served the county with
efficiency and diligence" and re-
gretted "the necessity of reaching
its conclusion.
The board is expected to reach
a decision soon on the appeals OF
Corpl. Lechlider and Pvt. Sigwald
Members of the board are Chair
man Lewis B. Sims, Mrs. Edith A.
Dinwoodey and Malcolm H. White
Meanwhile, County Manager
Irving G.. McNayr said that Mont
gomery needs some type of chem
ical test to determine drunken
ness.
No Maryland county employs
any scientific method for deter
mining drunkenness at time OF
arrest, he said. A State law would
have to be passed to legalize such
tests.

Home Rule Petitions
By J. 1. Michel

Prince Georges nome rule back
ers are in q nip-and-tuck race
with time today as q result Of
an official ruling that charter
petitions must be submitted by
July %.
The ruling was announced yes
|terday by George T. Burroughs,
counsel to the County Board Of
Election Supervisors.
There is no question:" Mr..
Burroughs said. "that petitions
|signed by at least 10000 registered
voters must be filed by July 28 in
order to get the home rule ques-
ton on November ballots"
Mr.. Burroughs also held that
the same udeadline applies to addi-
tional petitions, with 1000 names
for each Of five charter board
nominees chosen by the Citizens
COMMITTEE for Good Government.
The unit is leading the drive for
the charter-county manager pro-
poSal.
Signatures Top 1000. y
Mrs. Zella p. Saylor, one Of the
leaders in the home rule cam
paign. said last night that more
than 1000 signatures have been
obtained on the charter petition.
The status Of the 2,000-name petit
ltiOn could not be determined inn.
mediately. i
The opinion Of the election
boards attorney apparently re-
moves uncertainty which has
|existed as to the filing deadline.
Committee ofiicials had believed
provision Of the State Consti-
tuition gave them until October ]
to complete name gathering.
But shortly after the petition
drive was started, a member of
the county League Of Women
Voters discovered that a State
wide act Of the 1852 Legislature
had set the deadline at July %.
The question appeared to be
whether the Constitutional date
or that fixed by the General As
sembly should be accepted.
Permits Absentee Balloting.
Mr.. Burroughs said the uncer-
Itainty was due to misunderstand-
ing. Actually. he explained. there
was no conflict because the Consti-
tuition gives the Legislature power
to designate an earlier filing date.
The July 28 deadline is reces-
sary, he said, to permit balloting
by absentee voters and to allow
time to check eligibility Of per-
sons who sign the petitions.
Home rule advocates expressed
confidence last night but con-
ceded that their task is not an
easy one. The difficulty Of finding
persons to solicit names and the
absence Of residents on summer
vacations are the chief obstacles,
spokesmen declared.
Nevertheless, a corpse Of petit
ton carriers are stepping up the
pace and charter-manager per-
suasion booths are set up on
week ends at shopping centers
throughout the county. Mrs.
Saylor said these booths have
proved to be effective agencies for
obtaining signatures.
Heavy Grind Ahead.
They have been operating at
College Park, Greenbelt. Bladens-
burg, Hyattsville. Mt. Rainier,
Queenstown and West Hyattsville.
II believe we can attain our
objective" Mrs. Saylor said. ''butI
we will have to grind heavily I'M
the remaining days"
"It can be done, but it looks
like q tight situation to me, 81
observed Walter r. Mulligan,
veteran president Of the county
Civic Federation.
The flve county commissioners,
all strongly opposed to the pro-
posed governmental shift, are
watching developments closely.
