took over possession in 1882, and
within four years had made it one

bers of Volunteers for Stevenson
met Thursday evening, October 10,
at the home of Mrs. Roger Tubby.
The newly inaugurated Ruml
Plan for soliciting SIS contributions
for the Democratic campaign wss
presented by Mrs. Rose Miller. The
Ruml Plan was initiated to give all
persons, not only big money con-
tributors, an opportunity to par

Stevenson campaign. Mrs. Miller
stressed that money was needed
especially to pay for television and
radio broadcasts of Stevenson's

To make this form of contribu-
ton accessible to all interested per-
sons in the Rockville area, the
group decided to sell the S. certifi-

Korean Color Film
To Be Shown at

"Land of Heartbreak," starkly
realistic sound-color film of Korea,
will be shown at Rockville Baptist
Church, Sunday, October 10 at
10 am.
The film portrays, in vivid ac-
ton shots. the nl'"ht of the Korean
people. Endless lines of weary re-
fugees, clothed in rags and weak
from hunger, trudge toward the
shelters that many call "horror
camps" Homeless war-orphans,
the old and the feeble wonder
about Korea's cities looking for
food and comfort. Wounded SOL
diers seek vainly for some hope in
a dark future.
In contrast to the story Of suf-
fering and despair. the film tells
the story Of the Pocket Testoment
leagues campaign Of Scripture
distribution and evangelization in
Korea.
The public is cordialIv invited to
sec this stirring film. There is no
admission charge.

Subnersible
Pump to Be
Installed Here

A new type submersible water
pump, capable of pumping $50 gal
Ions of water per minute into the
water system will be installed in
Rockville within the next two
weeks, City Manager John Mac
Donald said today.
The pump, the first of it's kind
to be used in this area, will be in
stalled in Warren's Second Add
ton to Rockcrest. Mr.. Macdonald
said the pump will supplement the
city's water supply by 20 per cent.
At present, the water system here
supplies 100000 gallons of water
day to residents.
Considerable interest in the in
stallation has been exhibited by a
number of out-of-town engineers
and others, Mr.. Macdonald said,
and a number are expected to be
present when the pump is installed
and goes into operation.
Developed in Germany during
the war and used there to supply
water to air fields, Mr.. Macdonald
said, the pump is installed $50 feet
below ground level. Because it con-
tains a sealed unit, is water-lubri-
Gated, and dispenses with all bear
ings, rods and other movable parts
on the ordinary turbine-type pump,
he said the new pump is expected
to require considerably less SER
vicing.
In order to test the pumps eff
ficiency, Mr.. Macdonald said the
city installed smaller one in June.
At the present time, Rockville's
water supply is pumped from some
20 wells. The city manager said the
City will probably replace the old
turbine pumps with more economi-
cal submersibles as the old ones
wear out.

BeantOWn Road
Residents Ask
Road Paving

Residents of the Beantown road
area of Rockville Tuesday protest
ed to the county council the "im-
passable" conditions of the 1.6 mile
strip of road along which they live.
Led by Anders R. Lofstrand, jr.,
the delegation urged that the road
be paved as soon as possible. The
delegation said the county had
failed to improve the road although
a number of requests had been
made to it over the past several
years.
Mr.. Lofstrand said school buses
and mail trucks would not travel
over most of the road and many
school children had to walk at least
mile to catch the bus.
The delegation also said in many
places two cars cannot pass at
present because of deep gulleys
made by rain along the road.
The delegation also presented a
petition signed by 81 residents who
use the road, urging that it be
paved. The road now is dirt.
Mason Butcher, direction of pub
lie works, told the council the paw
ing and grading project would cost
we'll over 100000. He said it was
in the departments long-range
priority schedule plan and was due
for submission in the budget for
fiscal 1953-54.
Mr.. Butcher however, assured
the residents the road would be
graded and made passable before
winter sets in.
The County Council has set a
hearing for 8 pm. Tuesday, No
vember 10, on the proposed abon-
donment of a number of roads in
the northeast section of the county
to make way for the new dam on
the Patuxent river.
The hearing will be held in the
council room in Rockville.
The proposed Abandonment would
effects parts of Dustin Road, Bat
son Road, Cedar Lane, Tucker
Lane, Johnson's Mill Road, and
Columbia Road.

Franchise
Rejected
By PEPCO
Utility Co. Claims
Perpetual Rights of
Great Falls Company

The Potomac Electric Power
Company, Tuesday, rejected the
franchise ordinance which was
adopted by the County Council on
September 16.
In rejecting the Councils ordi-
nance, R. Roy Dun, PEPCO presi-
dent, told the Council the company
not only will not accept but that
it "irrevocably" rejects the ordi-
nance.
The company pointed out that
after it made it's application to the
Council for a Franchise in June
it became aware of the fact that
it had a perpetual franchise" to
operate in Montgomery County
which had originally been granted
by the Maryland Legislature to the
Great Falls Power Company, one
of PEPCO's predecessors here.
Perpetual Rights
"Since our discovery, the COM
pany said, 1--WE have been conduct
ing our operations in Montgomery
in exercise of, and in reliance upon,
such perpetual franchise, as indi-
Gated by the express reservations
of our historical rights which were
included in our letters of July 25
and September g."
The company pointed out that
PEPCO had first obtained a fran
chise here in 1912 and that in the
40 years between 1912 and 1862,
four franchises were granted by
the County, the most recent in
1927. Each franchise was for a
term of 25 years and each granted
a right of renewal at a valuation
to be agreed upon by the company
and the County. ~ ~
" .I Taxes Paid .aes
Further, PEPCO officials said,
"when it. became apparent that the
County would not be content with
the compensation formerly paid for
the franchise, namely, the taxes
paid to the County, which in 1852
will hn Approximately $240.000 and
by 1857 will be approximately
$500, 1000. PEPCO offered to submit
to arbitration the question of the
amount of compensation to be paid
to the County for the franchise"
The County ignored the COM
pany's right to renewal and it's

STAY Home. Mama!
Story Hour at
Library Begins
Next Week

Hold on to your hats, kids, and
hustle around to the Rockville
Public Library next Tuesday
afternoon. Story Hour starts again
this fall promptly at $3.50 and
children of all ages are going to
want to be there. There may not
be enough chairs to go around, so
if you arrive late you will sit on
the floor.
Story Hour at the Library has
become something of a local in
stitution. All children who are old
enough to sit quietly, without par
ents, for an hour of stories are
welcome. The Library staff makes
no pretense of pleasing everyone
with every story, but it does try
to see to it that the stories told
and read each Tuesday afternoon
are packed with such q variety of
interests that every child who at
tends will go home feeling that at
least part of the program was just
right for him.
Parents are definitely not invited
to Story Hour - they're much too
oldl They will, however, welcome
the opportunity to pick out their
own books downstairs, catch up on
the current magazines, and per-
haps do bit of grocery buying in
blissful solitude. Story Hour lasts
until 4:30.
After Story Hour children are
welcome to pick out books to read
1T home. Parents who have not
signed Library application cards
for their children are uroed to
stop in and sign these applications
before the Story Hour series be-
gins in order that the younger chill
dren who don't understand such
necessary nuisances as red tape
will not be disappointed.
