College Students
Seek Holiday Work

Montgomery Junior College in
Takoma Park has about twenty
students who want to do part-time
work from now through the Christ
mas holidays. These people range
in age from Is to 26, and many
of them are skilled workers. Clas-
ses meet from 900 am. to 400
pm, but all classes do not meet
everyday of the week.
These students are residents of
Montgomery County and the Met
ropolitan Area, and would be avail
able during the holiday period.
Their school work does not allow
time for them to go out and look
for work for themselves and so
they have to rely on their friends,
the school and the employer to
tell them of job openings. Inquiries
may be directed to Miss Sadie G.
Higgins at Montgomery Junior Col
lege, Juniper 5000, Extension %.

School Students
May Receive Bibles
School Board Rules

Bibles now may be distributed in
Montgomery county Schools =
under certain conditions - accord
ing to resolution passed by the
Board of Education last week.
The resolution authorized tn e
Superintendent of Schools to per-
nit any association or authorized
representative of any church or
faith to give any pupil an Old or
New Testament or b oth h, whose
parents or guardian had consented
to the gift = in writing.
The Bible decision grew out of
a recent request of h e Gideon
Bible Society to make gifts of the
New Testament and the Book of
Psalms through the public schools,
and subsequent request of the
Jewish Community Council of
Greater Washington for a study of
the legality of the question.
While the Board did not discuss
the legal aspects of the matter, it
stated such gifts should be made
without charge and without cere-
mony, and that they were not to
contain any literature or printed
material advocating any faith, dem
omination or religion. The resolu-
ton also stated that the gifts were
not to contain any form of pledge.
1t had been the intention of the
Gideon Bible Society to ask stu
dents to read the gift bibles every
day.
The resolution was not voted on
by Mrs. Marjorye Baylor, president
of the Board. She had suggested
that the question be held in abey-
ance until a definitive opinion on
the question of Bible distribution
was presented to the board by it's
attorney.

COP State Central
Chastises Butler
For McKeldin lab

Republicans generally will seek
in vain for the point and purpose
of Senator Buffers recent criti-
cism of Governor McKeldin's sound
position in the developing affairs
of the party, the COP State Cen
trail Committee said this W k.
There is absolutely no basis for
the Senator's charge that Governor
McKeldin presumes to dictate
whom Maryland delegates should
support in the Republican National
Convention. w h n the Governor
makes a prediction about the Mary
land delegation it is founded on the
excellent information which he re-
ceives from all sections of Mary
land - from rank and file Repub-
licans as well as from party lead
ers, according to statement made
by acting chairman D. Eldred Rine-
hart.
When Senator Butler seeks to
belittle Governor Dewey, and de-
scribes his leadership as "twice
discredited," he should remember
that Governor Dewey was not dis
credited by the voters of Maryland
in 1948, Mr.. Rinehart added.
He also should remember that
Governor Dewey - twice nomin-
ated for the Presidency - has not
been discredited by the Republican
Party at any time.
Senator Butler knows that the
favorite son candidacy is a well
known and highly legitimate device
for giving a state delegation it's
greatest strength and solidarity in
national convention period, the
acting chairman stated. He must
realize that the record majority
given to Governor McKeldin in the
1850 election makes him the logical
initial standard bearer for Mary
land in the 1852 convention period.
This was not the Governors own
idea but was ana is the natural
conclusion of party leaders and
workers. 1t has been confirmed and
enhanced by the Governors grow
ing recognition in the national field
and in the high councils of the
Republican Party, he pointed out.
Governor McKeldin has not COM
mitted himself to any candidate for
the Presidency. He has on occasion
spoken with praise of both leading
aspirants for the Republican nom
ination and has had kind things to
say about others who are available
for that nomination, Mr.. Rinehart
asserted.
The Republican Party is in excel
lent condition in Maryland at the
present unexpectedly better than
ever before in it's history, accord
ing to the committee. The Governor
knows that this is no time to deli
berately create schisms and is act
ing accordingly. 1t behooves others
in places of leadership to do like
wise, the State Central Committee
Spokesman added.
