About this time every year the
important news in and around Cal
thersburg is the Labor Day parade
which is sponsored by the Cal
thersburg- Washington Grove Fire
Department, and 1858 is no ex-
ception. Final plans are being
made for the 18th annual parade
to be held this year on Monday,
September 7. The Department pre-
sident and chairman of the gen.
eral committee, Forte Sandison,
stated that this parade should be
bigger and better than ever.
The parade, which will begin
at 2 pm. (DST) sharp, rain or
shine, will form at the reception
center in Washington Grove with
registration at the Fire House at
~ NOON, This main event Of the
day will be followed by a tug-o-
war and hook-up to be held on the

Additional
Tur Sources
Are Sought

New tax sources are to be
sought by the County Council in
an effort tptreheNe real estatv@of
its present heavy tax burden.
The Council voted Tuesday to
request J. Douglas Bradshaw,
chairman of the county delegation
to the General Assembly at Anna
polls, and State Senator Anders r.
Lofstrand, j., to attend meeting
at which plans for securing addi-
tional tax sources could be dis
cussed.
The Council not only desires to
work out plans for additional tax
sources, it also wants to discuss
ways and means of getting a better
share of the taxes collected by the
State from the income tax and
sales tax.
The General Assembly last
session refused to give a larger
portion of State school equaliza-
ton funds to the county. Because
of the high assessments in the
county, Montgomery gets almost
nothing from the equalization fund,
which is based upon the assessment
base of a county.
No date was set for the meeting
but it is expected that the officials
will hold their conference at an
early date so that plans can be
gotten underway before election
time.

Water Meet
Has Stormy
Beginning,
CalnlsDOWn
City Council, Citizens
Committee Finally
Halt Personalities and
Transact Business

Storm clouds lowered over the
initial meeting Monday night be-
tween the Mayor and City Council
and the five-man citizens COM
Aittee to study the Rockville water
situation.
When the two groups met in the
municipal building and were
seated around the council table,
Gerhard Drechsler, chairman of
the citizens committee, declared
his group felt that remarks made
by Mayor Daniel R. Weddle at the
Rockville Board of Trade luncheon
last week should be clarified.
Drechsler said his group had
read in The Sentinel that the
Mayor had accused them of being
radicals and subversives. He said
he did not believe the two groups
could meet in harmony until the
Mayor expressed his belief in their
integrity.
Mayor Weddle pointed out that
he had not called them radicals and
subversives, that he had said that
the methods used in the mass meet
ing in the Courthouse had followed
the lines of union meetings where
the "goon squads" of the Indus
trial Workers of the World had
taken over.
Heated words followed in the
course Of which Drechsler charged
that the Mayor had broken the
pledge made at the meeting while
~ is group made no effort to indulge
Yin personalities subsequent to the
meeting. The Mayor said he still
felt that the pattern of the meeting
had been along IWW COON squad
lines.
At one point the Mayor rose and
said he did not intend to remain
and be insulted.
Corporation Counsel David Belts
and Councilman J. Warren Milor
interceded and urged that person
alities be dropped and that the
group get down to discussion of the
water situation, which was the
reason for having the meeting.
The meeting then proceeded to
discuss the water problem for more
than an hour in which time there
was almost complete amity.

stand last year favoring a COM
pulsory motor vehicle inspection
law, which would also require thu
regular inspection of all school
buses and private vehicles trans
porting children.

ty Police Association.
bet. Sergt. Kenneth M. Watkins,
chairman of the association pay
committee, said that the rejection
of the pay increase request by the
Personnel Board came as mo sur
prise"
Members of the County Council
had assured the policemen that
they would be permitted to present
their plea directly to the Council
in the event of rejection by the
Personnel Board, Sergt. Watkins
said.
The Personnel Board last week
in denying the petition said that
it could find no justification for
singing out the police for a pay
increase at this time"
Police said the only thing that
surprised them about the boards
refusal of their petition was "why
It took them five weeks to act"
Association members hope to
meet soon with the County Council
and present arguments favoring
the pay increase. They will con-
tend that the Personnel Board err
red when it sought to create the
impression that there is a lower
ing in the cost of living.
