Nursery Homes
In CountyFa
Tighter Control
More Frequent
Inspections Urged
In Prince Georges

New regulations designed to
safeguard children placed in nur-
sery homes will be adopted in
Prince Georges.
The county commissioners yes
terday approved suggestions for
closer control, after public
hearing in Upper Marlboro.
Board counsel was asked to
prepare amendments to the nur-
sery home ordinance for formal
approval Friday in Hyattsville.
Representatives of civic groups,
the County Health Department
and nursery home operators at
tended yesterdays hearing.
They Endorsed revlsions pre-
viously urged by Commissioner
Edward j. Waters and DR.. James
I. Boyd. county medical exami-
ner,. and added suggestions of
their own.
More Inspections Asked.
Mrs. Irma Bogdanoff, chair
man of the County Civic Fedora
tion's local affairs committee,
proposed that Health Depart
ment inspections be conducted
annually. instead of at two-year
intervals, and asked that fire
inspection and adequate number
of caretakers be required.
Mrs. Freda Nicol, operator of
a nursery home at 7403 Vafnum
street. Landover Hills. called for
rigid and more frequent health
inspections. She also urged use
of a standard admittance form,
giving detailed data on children
and certifying their physical
conditions.
Health Officer Notified.
One of the operators biggest
headaches, Mrs. Nicol said, is
the problem created when par
ents leave children in their home
and fail to pay for their care.
When that happens, she ex-
planned, no other governmental
agency will assume responsibility.
Jack A. Bell, Health Department
sanitary officer, told the board
that is one of the risks nursery
home operators must assume.
Mr.. Bell said Health Depart
ment agents inspect the homes
for cleanliness but lack author
ity to examine occupants.
He added, however. that they
notify the County Health officer
when they observe children obvi-
ously i'll, or who appears to have
been mistreaJed.
Mr.. Bell said his department
would like to inspect nursery
homes oftener, but cannot do
so because of lack of funds.
That brought Mrs. Bogdanof
to her feet with a demand for a
larger Health Department appro-
priation. Commissioner Daniel
A. Abbott, presiding, said that
is something his board will think
about come next budget time.

Council Vetoes
Bill 10 Control
FireCompdnies
Reluctance to Kill
Measure Evidenced
Despite 81 Vote

The Montgomery County
Council yesterday vetoed bill No.
IL, which would have given the
council tighter controls over
volunteer fire departments.
The action was a major vic
tory for the f1remen. They led
the Aght on the measure, which
had drawn nothing but oppoSi-
tion since it was introduced last
May.
The vote on the veto was
6-to-1. with Councilman j. Louis
Monarch dissenting.
I've heard no valid objection
to the BILL" Mr.. Monarch said.
its simply that the fire depart
ment people don't like it."
The bill would have authorized
the council to set the fire tax
rates in all fire areas. would have
required the submission of fire
department budgets and would
have removed the present limita-
tionS on fire tax rates.
Reluctant VetOes.
There was an indication that
some councilmen supported the
veto with reluctance.
Councilman Lathrop Smith,
who moved the veto, said he
was unhappy" with his own mo-
ton. He. was sharply critical
Of persons who repeatedly IA
vored the bill, yet did not testify
at either of two public hearings
held on it.
THE fire departments are
thinking in terms of a rural
county" Mr.. Smith said. This
bill is bad bill only to the
extent it's a weak bill"
Mr.. Smith added he did not
put too much faith in flremen
and citizens association prom
ises to work out legislation ac-
ceptable to every one to improve
fire department activities.
Lack of Interest Cited.
Councilmen Louis A. Gravelle
and Harold F. Hammond said
their support of the veto was
based on the lack Of interest
residents had shown in its pas
sage.
"The people rely on our good
judgment" Mr.. Monarch re-
torted. He added the council
did not vote on measures be-
cause of the amount of support
they get at public hearings.
"I disagree with Mr.. Monarch
that hearings do not mean arv-
thing" Mrs. Stella B. Werner
said We have to take into
consideration recommendations
produced at the hearings"
Mrs. Werner added that q
basic principle Of the home rule
movement was the bringing Of
legislative discussions from An
napoliS to Rockville.
Mr.. Smith summed up his
motion for veto by quoting A. D.
Farquhar, Sandy Spring volun-
teer f1remen: "Aas long as we're
volunteers, don't tell us what to
do"
Bill II Hearing Set.
The council yesterday also set
q public hearing for 3:15 pm.
Tuesday, on a petition by the
North Kensington and Home
wood Citizens Associations for
veto Of Bill II, revamping the
Kensington Fire Board.
Civic groups and the fire de-
partment had agreed on q bill
to reorganize the fire board, but
opposition has developed because
of council amendments to pro-
vide that the council set the tax
rate after getting q budget from
the department.
The Kensington bill amend
ments were made to make the
measure conform with the gen.
eral control bill. County At
torney David Macdonald yes
terday said he believes the veto
of Bill No. IL will not affect the
legality of the Kensington meas
ure.

TelephOneDial
Will Do More
Than i'm Past

On Sunday morning, November
8, at 1901 a. M, telephone sub
scribers in the Washington Metro
politan Area can begin using their
new, faster telephone service,
made possible through introduce
ton of "Wider Range Dialing".
Harold D. Fangboner, general
commercial manager of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone
Company, in announcing the day
and hour of the conversion to the
new SYSTEM said most customers
after the cutover will be able to
dial direct to other telephones in
the Metropolitan Area and station
to-station long distance calls to
Annapolis, Baltimore, Frederick
and certain other communities.
Announced Last August
Plans for introduction of the
service were first disclosed by the
G. and p. last August. Since then
newly-developed equipment to
handle centralized automatic mes
sage accounting of customer dial
ed local calls and out-ofAtown
calls to certain selected points has
been installed and is now undergo
ing tests. Fangboner said that
progress in research has given US
these service improvements and is
one of many reasons why tele-
phone rates to the user have in
creased so little in comparison
with the costs of many other
things you buy today.
Institutional booklets on "Wider
Range Dialihg" containing infor-
nation to assist telephone users
in dialing calls are being mailed
to all customers today, Fangboner
stated.
More Money
Expenditures of $2,197,00O for
the Improvement and expansion
of telephone facilities in Maryland
have been authorized by the board
of directors of 'be Chesapeake and
