Rockville
Area Units
Have Worst
Relief Expected When
Additions and New
Schools Are Completed

Montgomery County's SO schools
have reached an enrolment of 49,
044, nearly 5000 more than were
enrolled the first month of last
year, according to Owen w.
knight, supervisor of pupil per-
sonnet.
The frst-day enrolment fell
short of the $4,000 which school
officials had anticipated. The es-
innate, however, is expected to be
reached by mid-year.
The registration included 29,-
1926. elementary and kindergarten
children and 1928 high school
students.
School officials after a quick
look at the individual school en-
rollments estimated that some L.
500 pupils will be on double shifts
at least temporarily. Earlier es-
Inmates had put the figure at about
1900.
TwinbrOOk, Lone Oak Hit
The Twinbrook and Lone Oak
Elementaries in Rockville will be
the worst hit by the overcrowding
and resultant halliday session.
Some 400 of Twinbrook's SIG
pupils probably will attend on
halliday sessions until an addi-.
ton there is completed. At Lone
Oak, another 635 are slated for
double shifts probably until mid
year when the new Maryvale
School is completed.
Double Shifts Elsewhere
Double shifts also probably are
in store for SO second graders at
the Oakview Elementary; 30 rrst
graders at McKenny Hills; ITO
first and second graders at Wood
side; II first graders at Rock
Creek Forest and 100 pupils at
Westbrook Elementary.
Schol officials said Bradley
Hills Elementary, where double
shifts had been anticipated, APP
parently had solved its problem. 4.
A bumper crop of kindergarten
and first grade pupils shot the
Weller Road Schools enrolment
to 500, well above pre-opening cs-
Inmates.
School officials said they will
spend the rest of the week shift
ing teachers and, in some cases,
pupils, to alleviate local over
crowding.

Shelter that the Republican S3rd

Sentinel Brought
Results, Postmaster
Boswell Learns

Surprised by letters from dis
tant points requesting copies of
the Montgomery County Christian
Endeavor paper advertising the
August 80 Brookeville pilgrimage,
Postmaster Wilton Boswell of
Brookeville, who was in charge of
the CE program, decided to find
out why since the CE paper had
not been sent to distant points.
He found out. They read The
Sentinel, Mr.. Boswell tells us.
A reply from Mrs. Frederic L.
Barstow of Norfolk, Conn.,, said
she had read about the pilgrimage
in The Sentinel. Mrs. Barstow, a
descendant of Caleb Bentley, the
postmaster who gave shelter to
President and Mrs. Madison, want
ed copies of the program to send
to other Bentley descendants. AL
though a resident of New England,
Mrs. Barstow subscribes to The
Sentinel so she can keep inform
ed about her "old home communi-
ty." Other letters were in SINH
lar vein.
The Brookevile pilgrimage was
described in a four page litho-
graphed program put out by the
Montgomery County CE Union. 1t
carried pictures of historic Brooke
vile buildings, including the old
1908 Brookeville Academy, first
dry spot in Maryland" and Green
wood" both of which are engrav-
ed on the Battleship Maryland sill
verware.
The 1902 Brookevile postoffce
where Madison passed the night
after the Capital was burned and
Caleb Bentley, the Brookeville
postmaster who gave the President
shelter, were included in the pic
lures in the program.
Wilton Boswell was on the Mark
Evans show on radio and television
with the old postoffice box.

Get Tough
Solicitors
Ordinance
Announced
Public Hearing
October q at 2 pm.
On Measure Which
Requires License Fee

An ordinance to license door-to-
door solicitors operating through
out the County is under considera-
ton by the County Council. A
public hearing on the proposal
has been scheduled for October 81,
at pm. in the Rockville Court
house.
The measure, drafted by County
Attorney David Macdonald, would
mean a get tough" policy toward
all solicitors in an attempt to con-
troll crooked" statesmen, officials
said.
The proposed ordinance was the
result of a report by Safety Di-
rector Arthur Z. Miller to the
Council two weeks ago that his
office has been receiving mount
ing number of complaints of dis
courteous statesmen who take de-
posts and fail TO deliver or de-
liver inferior merchandise.
One of the toughest provisions
of the proposed ordinance would
require a $500 bond of any door
sSo-door solicitor who is granted
Va license. The license, and the
bond, would have to be renewed
each year.
Other provisions of the ordi-
nance require an applicant to pay
a $40 investigation" fee, be fin
gerprinted, submit two recent
photographs, submit physicians
statement not more than 10 days
old that the applicant is free of
contagious, infectious or commu-
nicable diseases, and a statement
that the applicant has never been
convicted of any crime involving
moral turpitude, sex offenses, vio-
lence or fraud.
The bond would insure that the
solicitor conducts himself in a
lawful and law abiding manner"
according to the proposed ordi-
nance, and guarantee that all
money paid as down payment
will be accounted" and that goods
will be delivered according to the
representation.
The proposed ordinance provides
for a fine of up to 500 or a six
month Jail term for each violation.
!. Incorporated cities and towns in
y the county would be exempt from
the ordinance, but the county Di-
rector of Inspection and Licenses
would enforce the ordinance if any
municipality adopts it and asks
enforcement, the proposal said.
