Chest X-Ray
Units Set
Schedule

The Montgomery County Tuber-
culosis Association, Health Depart
ment and Medical Society have
Joined forces to offer the parents
of the County an opportunity to
have free chest x-rays. Jointly
they sponsor a regular monthly
x-ray survey which gets a mobile
x-ray unit near your neighborhood
monthly, in some cases, and BIZ
monthly in others.
A recent study, conducted in
Montgomery County, showed that
many mothers have missed being
x-rayed because Of their children.
In reality, the contrary should be
true, that is, a mother should be
x-rayed because of her children.
Mothers who are accompanied on
their shopping tours by their small
children are urged to stop in to
have an x-ray with the children.
The clerks on the unit will gladly
keep your child amused for the
few minutes il takes for you to
get an X-ray.
The dates and locations for the
February x-ray survey follow. Free
x-rays can be obtained from 8 am.
TO SPIN. daily and from . am. TO
6 pm. on Saturdays.

Recreation
Would Up
Farm Taxes
Council Cool to
Program Adding
Scents to Rate

A proposed county wide
recreation program t h a t
would cost up-county farmers
eight cents more on their
present tax rate has received
a cool reception from county
councilmen.
The proposed $485,OOO a year
program which calls for construc-
tion of four swimming pools in the
county-including one in the rural
sector-just isn't suited to up-coun-
ty needs at this time, the council
indicated Tuesday.
What's more, Councilman Lath-
rop Smith, admitted, farmers just
can't afford another eight cents on
the tax rate. The cost of progress
in the county has been almost too
much for them already, he added
The program was presented to
the council last week by the county
recreation board and recreation di-
rector Forest Gustafson.
100000 Year
The proposed recreation setup
would cost some $300.000 a year
to operate plus and additional $685.
900 for swimming pool and recrea-
tion center construction, Mr.. Gu
stafson said.
The program is an ambitious idea
but even down-county councilmen
seemed to agree that rural areas,
with swimming holes and other
natural recreation facilities would
not be willing to finance such a
program at this time.
The program is based on the pre-
mise the county would be success
full in its ardent moves to abolish
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning commission
which operates-for a five-cent tax
rate a recreation program in the
suburban area.
Some county officials, however,
say the planning commission has
ability to transfer funds which per-
nit it spend more than what the
books show for operation of its

A total of $2,O6O,OOO would be
expended in up-county in the first
year of the program which was
offered by DR.. Richard E. Car
penter, assistant superintendent in
charge of supporting services.
In the other four years, the Up
per County areas would get a to-
tai of $1,4O0,OOO. 1t would amount
to ore new school and two addi-
tions costing $690,O00 in the sec
ond year of the program; $370,000
for one new school and addition in
the third year; $4,000 for one
new school in the fourth year, and
nothing in the final year of the
program.
Student Capacity
Pupil capacity in the first year,
including the Negro schools, would
amount to 1000 students. The
second year would add facilities
for 410 students; the third year,
400; and the fourth year, 480.
Carpenter estimated some 108
additional teaching positions--fa-
cilities for about 2,700 students
will be required in the upper coun-
ty in the five years, and about
SO positions in the first year.
Projects included for the up
county in the first year of the pro-
gram, which would cost county res
idents some $6,730-not including
funds to complete and equip pro-
;.ccts now underway, and for site
purchases, advanced planning and
improvements to existing schools,
include:
New Additions
A four-classroom addition to the
Lone Oak elementary school;
four-classroom addition at Po-
tomac; a six-classroom, office,
health room and kitchen school on
the site of the old Darnestown
School; four-classroom addition
to the Laytonsville elementary;
10-classroom, library, kitchen and
all-purpose elementary school
southeast of Gaithersburg, prob
ably in Washington Grove, and
two-classroom addition to the Bur-
louisville elementary.
Also a four classroom addition
to the Clarksburg elementary; an
addition containing offices, library,
science laboratory, home economics
area, two shops and a gymnasium
to the Poolesville high, a gymnas-
ium addition to the Rockville ele-
mentary; two classrooms to the

Is Approved
McNayr Instructed
BY Council to
Negotiate Lease

The Montgomery County
Council this week, in effect,
approved the highly contro-
versial proposal to establish a
liquor dispensary in the Gal
thersburg business district.
County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr was directed at Tuesdays
council session to negotiate for a
store to house the dispensary in
the up-county community by vote
of 81. Council President George
F. Nesbitt of Sandy Spring did
not vote because it's one question
I'm not sure Of"
Werner Opposed
The opposing vote came from
Mrs. Stella Werner of Bethesda
council district. Mrs. Werner said
she was opposed to any expansion
of liquor control system. She also
said she opposed to establishing a
new dispensary (which would draw
customers away from Rockville
after just moving the Rockville
store to new quarters with an in
creased overhead of $3.50 to $40O
a month";"
County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr estimated the Gaithersburg
store would make from $4,000 to
$4,000 year profit.
A Gaithersburg dispensary was
vigorously opposed by a special
"Committee for a dry Gathers

POliOMarch
By Mothers
Successful
200 Volunteers
Collected Over
$4,000 This Year

Rockville mothers--200 strong
ventured forth last Wednesday
night and collected total of $2,-
1906 for the Mothers March on
Polio. This is considerably more
! than double the amount collected
last year, although it must be noted
that last years drive was organized
practically over night, due to lack
of time.

year by Mrs. William Steinberg
and included the entire town of
Rockville, plus Seven Locks Road,
whose residents donated $57.67.
Mrs. Steinberg was assisted by IT
captains and corps of IT'S volun-
teer workers. The metropolitan
area of Rockville donated $1,O13.35,
with Twnbrook's total being $751;
% and Rockcrest $382.79. Mothers
in Silver Rock collected $102.9S and
in Broadwood Manor S44.00. Lin
coin Park came in with fine show
ing of $91.72.
In reporting the results of the
"march" Mrs. Steinberg was high
in her praise of these volunteers
who were so cooperative in making
the drive successful. The enthus-
iasm and spirit of this group is
reflected by the fact that many
have expressed a desire to help
again next year.
Those who served as captains of
the various Rockville areas are
as follows: Mrs. John Mackey, Mrs.
! Bill Best, Mrs. Tom Buffers, Mrs.
: Stewart Crump, Mrs. Lester Burr,
Mrs. Everett Woodward, Mrs.
