Although the articles "a" and
"the" are among the most i'm
portant words in English, not
many of us have been taught to
pronounce them correctly. Nor
are we quite sure how the third
article, "an," should be used.
"a" is used before words be-
ginning with a consonant sound,
as a table, "a book, a hospital,
a union (union begins with the
sound of the consonant ~" as
YOON-yun). The indefinite
article "a" should not have the
long lay" sound. as in bay, may,
day. 1t should have the obscure
or neutral "uh" sound.
The article "an" is used be-
fore words beginning with a
vowel sound, as: an oven, an egg
an honor (the "h" of honor is
silent, therefore the word be-
gins with a vowel sound, as
AH-ner).
"The" has two pronunciations.
Before a word beginning with a
vowel sound "the" rhymes with
bee, fee, knee, thus: Thee eve
ming, thee address, thee ember,
thee enemy. When 1.-The" is used
before a word beginning with a
consonant sound, it has the OBJ
scure or neutral "uh" sound, as
thuh book, thuh table, thuh
hospital, thuh union.
The word culinary. "of or per-
tanning to cookery" is commonly
heard as "CULL-inary," the first
syllable rhyming with dull, gull
If we divide the word into syl-
lables, thus: CULINARY, we see
the word in a different light
"Ah!" we say, ecu Ckew) as in
Cupid, cucumber, Cuban!" And
that is the way it should be
pronounced: KEW -luh- -NAIR- ZEE

Councilmen also declared there

Mr.. McNayr told the council it

The Jail supervisor also hit the

We Report on the Farmers Convention

1t has always been open question with whether
the annual Sandy Spring Farmers Convention draws its at
tendance because of the excellence of the
of the fried chicken the ladies of the Neghborhood
provide along with other tasty viands.
The 80th annual convention no exception. Those
groanng food tables in the cafeteria of the Sherwood
High School addition certainly had little competition when
the word passed that dinner ready
1t said that the sincerest compliment to cook is to
eat than hold and the ladies certainly
complmented at the dinner The heaped dishes of fried
chicken and pickle relish and potato salad and ham and
rolls and-but isn't your mouth watering
We pay tribute to the ladies for their culinary efforts
Even the coffee good But thing missed was
those little cookies that Mrs Bond used to give that she
baked from 200 year old family recipe She good
friend Of and of best correspondents but
could wange the secret of how to make those cookies
from her.
The forensic diet pretty good, too. We really
oyed the talk by Congressman Hope and the other speakers
also good
We believe that long there is Sandy Spring Far

he will keep his home in Rockville

McNayr promised that he will
submit his budget and his annual
report, before he leaves. He will
not be here, however, for the May
legislative nor the June budget
sessions.
Tuesday, the council accepted
with reluctance" McNayr's resig-
nation. Each councilman individual
ly hailed McNayr's accomplish
ments. They said:
Nesbitt, "The council has had a
most enjoyable relationship with
Mr.. McNayr."
Harold F. Hammond, ave are
going to miss you and have a hard
time replacing you"
Louis A. Gravelle, 81 recommend
ed your appointment and am sure

Lathrop Smith, "Mr. McNayr de-
serves enormous credit for the long
way the county has come since he
came; the progress is evident
throughout the county, especially in
the rural areas"
Grover Walker, at was always a
pleasure to work with Mr.. Nc
Nayr."
Mrs. Stella Werner, at will be
extremely difficult to fill Mr.. Nc
Nayr's Shoes"
j. Louis Monarch, 81 have al
ways had complete confidence in
Mr.. McNayr's efficiency and cap
abilities; he always had the good
of the people of the county at
heart even when he had to say no
to them, and most of the people
appreciate it,"
McNayr has weathered several
political storms since he began his
career with the county as pur-
chasing agent in February, 1916.
When Willard Day resigned as
county supervisor late that same
year, the lame-duck Democrats
named McNayr to the post. He
survived under a Republican board
Of commissioners, and when the
charter government was formed
early in 1919, was named as the
county's first manager with ex-
banded powers.
McNayr has had a controversial
career here. In the last several
months, both he and the county
council have drawn heavy fire from
J taxpayers for the skyrocketing as
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1953-03-05

sessments and governmental costs.
He has seen the county's popula-
ton grow from about 100000 in
1916 to an estimated 100000 now.
During his administration, the tax
rate has risen from $1.50 per 500
of assessed property value to $2.10
and the tax base has nearly trip
pied to almost $500 million. While
school costs have quadrupled, how
ever, the cost of operating the
government has only doubled.
One of McNayr's chief accom-
plishments has been the reorgani-
cation of the county government
under department heads. Under his
leadership, the county revised it's
fiscal policies, established a per-
sonnet department and adopted an
employee merit system.
He is also the father of the new
SIG million county office building
now under construction in Rock
vile.
The native of Groton, Mass, said
he leaves the county with "mixed
reactions" to take "more lucra-
tive, more challenging and broader
position" He praised his depart
ment heads as "the best in the
business" cited the "high type" of
elected county officials here and
hailed the many citizens advisory
groups which operate without pay.

In the letter, the sheriff cited
some 13 complaints he said he re-
ceived from attorneys and prison.
ers concerning conditions at the
Jail and the treatment of prisoners.
The Jail was put under control
of the county manager in 1850
after a rash of Jail breaks and at
tempted breaks. Sheriff Lawrenson
said under the County Council the
jail's cost of operation had tripled
and that the Jail was overstaffed.
At the same time the sheriff
asked that the salary for his posi-
ton be hiked from 1900 to $4,000
year and that he be given $50, 900
year to hire deputies.
Mr.. McNayr in a report on the
Jail controversy, said the sheriff
had failed to note that the cost of
operating his office had jumped
from So, $40 to $45,19 in the last
three years and that the sheriff's
budget requests had tripled.
Mr.. McNayr also cited the 1862
report of the Maryland Board of
Corrections which called the Jail
one of the best operated in the
State.
The report had praised the food,
cleanliness, handling OF prisoners,
morale, and other improvements in
the jail's operation under the pres
ent supervisor, John T. Young.
The sheriff failed to appear Tues
day for a hearing before the council
which had invited him to present
facts to back up his published allie
cations.
He simply submitted a memo to
the council asserting he wanted to
obtain counsel to represent him.
He told reporters he also wanted
to have persons appear who had
made the complaints to him.
Councilmen expressed disap-
pointment because Of his failure
to appear and proceeded to criticize
him ain absentia." e
