'Revenuers' Blast Biggest Still
Found in Area in Recent Years

The operators had to cut down
trees to make a path for their
trucks to reach it. A barbed-wire
fence was set up around the scene
to keep the Davis cattle from wan
dering through the forests and
eating the rye mash.
Agent Kiefer pointed to the IS
foot-high boiler saying, 1--we never
seen one this big even in the

On the platform were two lso-
gallon stills.

the amount of whisky the big still
had turned out. But they all
agreed it probably paid for itself

Diggle replied.
None of the five commissioners
would forecast the result of vote

will ask for extension of rent con-
trolls after September 80. Their
attitude, hitherto unfavorable, ap-
peared yesterday to be shifting
toward approval of extension.
Rent controls in the unincorpor-
ated areas of the county expire
unless the commissioners ask for
extension by September 30.
Newspaper Ads Checked.
The report offered by Mr.. Dig
gle resulted from a survey made

County May Initiate
|0n-the-Job Plan Of
Training Teachers

An experimental on-the-job
training program to produce To-
cally more elementary school
teachers may be initiated in Mont
gomery County this year.
The test is seen as a possible
solution to the county's perennial
|problem of obtaining grade school
teachers. 8.
The still-uncertain plan came
up yesterday at the school boards
meeting during a discussion OF a
critical shortage of grade school
teachers expected to develop in
the county within the next two
years.
The proposed experiment Of the
on-the- job method of turning COL
Ilege graduates into elementary
teachers came from DR.. Thomas
G. Pullen. jr., State superintendent
of schools. ..
The plan would be a refinement
of the system of hiring uncertif1ed
teachers during World War II.
DR.. Pullen sees the plan as a local
cure for local shortages.
Involves Extension Courses.
DR.. Pullen told the board that,
under his suggestion, college grad
yates would work in the county
schools under strict supervision.
At the same time, he said, they
would take extension courses
either through the University of
Maryland or State normal schools.
1.-THE beauty of the PLAN" DR..
Pullen said, lis that these people
are paid while they are learning,
giving us whole new field of po-
tential elementary teachers"
Two board members, Mrs. Ben
B. Baylor and Wylie Barrow, had
been studying the teachers supply
lproblem for some time.
They recommended yesterday
that undergraduate elementary
teaching courses be put in the
curriculum at the Montgomery
Junior College.
The board also suggested that
postgraduate courses in educa-
ton be provided at nearby Uni
versity of Maryland on an extern
sion basis.
School officials have voiced con-
Germ recently over the short sup
ply Of teachers provided in the
area through State normal schools.
Enthusiastic Approval.
Board members were enthusi-
astic in their approval of the on
the-job training program.
If initiated, the plan probably
would go into effect by the sec
ond semester, officials said. The
mechanical and financial means
of setting up the program will
be studied by State school officials.
State approval is also necessary:
Through q combination Of in
service training and completion of
extension courses, potential teach
ers eventually would be certified
by the State.
The school board yesterday also
asked County Superintendent Ed
win w. Broome to submit by jan
uary / a new master schedule of
teachers salaries.
Inequities Caused Losses
Board members said they lost
a number of job applicants this
year due to inequities in the
higher brackets.
| A request also went out to
teacher associations and parent
teacher groups to submit proposed
salary recommendations.
The board yesterday also:
/. Announced it would appoint
members within 10 days for the
new Citizens School Construction
Advisory Committee.

lpointment of a controller and a

St. Michael News
By Dwight Milligruk

At one time Saint Michael was a very busy village. There was river steamers going up and down the Yukon river. Some burned wood and some burned crude oil in their boilers. And there were some big store tanks for crude oil here.
 Of course the village is very quiet now, and no more steam boats. Where the' big tanks were the dirt under them is crude oil soaked say about 4 to six inches thick. AS usual there is no wood to get within reach, unless you go eight to eleven miles from the village.
 Now everyone is chopping fro zen crude oil soaked dirt, every day, and of course lots of small pieces flying around when you hit 1t with the aX. It sticks to your soles and everywhere you go. It sticks to floors and on your clothes and blankets and even to your pillow, but I tell you it is "hot". Have to watch it, and it really sticks to stove pipes too. But if you are not lazy to clean stove pipe it fine, but dirty.
 Not much news of anything else from here. Everyone is fine. Peo- pie seem to be cheerful as be- fore. They are little colder than last summer, but we know it will be warmer again.
 We thank the Lord for every thing. It little hard some time, but 'tribulation Worketh patience
