PTA Group Opposes
Cut in Assessments

The Executive Committee of
the Camp Springs PTA last night
urged the Prince Georges County
commissioners not to make a
blanket 10 per cent cut in real
estate assessments.
The commissioners passed a
resolution Tuesday informing the
county assessor to be prepared to
make such an overall reduction
on December 81.
The realty tax rate is mot
burdensome in view of over
crowded C h ools, underpaid
teachers and too few facilities" "
the Camp Springs group said in
a statement.
The committee, in another
action. sent letter to the Prince
Georges County Council of PTA's
requesting that body to seek a
clarif1cation from the county
school board on what things it
considers its responsibility to
provide for schools. The Mont
gomery County Council of PTAs
took similar action earlier this
week, expressing concern that
PTAs were being made to pay
for many items that should be
supplied by the county.

Trade Board Admits Women,
Be 1t ChWoIry or Good Sense

Chivalry and good business
eye won out last night as the
Silver Spring Board of Trade
voted to admit women to its
membership just in time for the
Christmas shopping season.
When it was all over, President
David Scull said he was glad to
see the members finally had
agreed women are here to stay.
Last spring the board nad
slammed its doors in the face of
the women.
The women won the right of
equality by so to 26 votes, but
this was no landslide. 1t took So
votes to amend the constitution,
and three stronger souls could
have kept them out.
E. Brooke Lee, prominent
county politician, emerged last
night as the champion OF the
women. He warned the busi-
nesSmen it would be shortSlghted
to give a second affront to the
women by opposing them on
secret ballot.
But members of the die-hard
anti-woman faction upset Mr..
Lees motion that an open vote
be taken.
"The only way a man can vote
as he feels on this question is in
secret" E. B. (Buck) Hancock,
a leader of the faction last
spring, said. Mr.. Hancock en-
phasized, however, that his
statement was not to be inter-
preted that he was still opposed
to the women.

Silver Spring Panel
Cautiously Optimistic
On 1854 Business

Silver Spring businessmen last
night expressed cautious opti-
mism for the business outlook
in the community for 1854.
A six-member panel Of the
community's leading business
men told the Silver Spring Board
of Trade that sales volume prob
ably will take a swing upward
after the first of the year. But
they added it was going to re-
quire aggressive promotion. Close
inventories and increased serv-
ice to customers.
A. G. Thompson. jr., a real
estate man, said the home selling
business would pick up consid-
erably and prices would be high
er next spring. He added there
is still demand for homes but
that builders had to put a little
more sex appeal" in their de-
sign to attract the buyer.
The businessmen were not
optimistic, however. concerning
the Christmas shopping season.
Harry N. Hirshberg, jr.. of
The Hecht Co., said his firm
anticipates that business will
continue to be 6 per cent off last
years volume.
The threat of Federal firing
has held back consumer buying,
the panel agreed. Mr.. Hirshberg
said the administration had
failed to convince Federal en-
ployes that the firingS are over.
Brockson Zeller and S. E. Luf-
tig warned the businessmen their
overhead probably would be
higher and there was need for
great care in buying seasonal
items.

next nursery.
Then that operator said she
would have to raise the~hoard
price. Other financial burdens
hit Mrs. Jones at the same
time-doctor and dentist bills,
and the like.
You Helped Her.
After valiantly supporting
her family for five years, she
needed help. You gave it to her.
A friend advised her to try
the Episcopal Home for Chill
dren. She did.
The change in the twins has
been unbelievable. according
to Mrs Anne Loving, the di-
rector. With steady affection
from Mrs. Loving and the
boys particular house mother.
Mrs. Eloise Lipscomb, they
have become steadier, friend
lier, happier.
Mrs. Jones didn't like the
idea too much at first.
1T seemed too much like an
orphanage," she said. But
when she saw how the boys
reacted, she changed her
mind. Its a wonderful place"
1t costs the home $72 a
month to care for a child.
Mrs. Jones can pay $50 a
month for each. She and Mrs.
Loving sat down and figured
it out.
So, there is a slack of $84 a
month. Through the Com
munity Chest, you took it up.
You gave Mrs. Jones another
chance to maintain her fam
lily. You gave the twins a
better chance to become happy
boys and, later, men.

were largely responsible for
spending the family income. And
John Scharr, a furrier, added he
wouldn't blame them if they
took their business elsewhere, in
retaliation for the board s
petty" action last spring.
In the end, the eratory of the
women admirers won out. AS a
matter of fact, no one showed
any inclination to speak against
the women.
