Condition Of Irwin, MogIie
And Jansen Cheers Giants
BY The Assoeiofed Press

The happiest major league
pilot in the land today probably
was Leo Durocher, who saw his
three big casualties of last sea-
son report in top condition for
the Giants first workouts in
Phoenix, Ariz.. yesterday.
Durocher started dreaming of
a pennant right away when
Pitchers Sal Magle and Larry
Jansen and Outf1elder Monte
Irwin indicated they were fully
recovered from their 1852 in
juries.
It was Irwin who put on the big
show. The big outfielder blasted
eight balls over the left-center
fence, showing tremendous pow
er against soft" pitching. AL
though he still wears a high shoe
to protect the ankle he broke
last year. Irwin no longer has
any trace Of the limp he had
when he returned to the lineup
last August.
Durocher also announced an
other chance for Monte Ken
nedy "a pitcher who always has
seemed to have the stuff to win,
but always has wound up a dis
appointment.
Hell get a real good look, -
Durocher said. I'm going to
work him every four days for
three innings just like the rest
Of them"
Meanwhile, Manager Fred
Haney. irked at jibes leveled
against the luckless Pirates, said
he is determined to get the most
out Of his team this season. He
greeted IS players at the opening
of spring training at Havana
with a bit Of a tongue lashing:
For the next 10 days want
you to get into shape. I don't
care how you do it, but I don't
want any loafers or shirkers.
That's what we'll be looking for;
the coaches and myself. We
won't pay any attention to your
ability until after you get into
condition"

For $4,000; Mantle
Agrees 10 $4,000
BY the Asseeiated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Feb.
24.-The New York Yankees an
nounced today that Pitcher Allie
Reynolds and Outfielder Mickey
Mantle had agreed to baseball

tions for General Manager

ing a Yankee school at Lake
Wales, Fla.

camp yesterday after he had
failed to reach agreement with

ary paid last year to Pitcher Vic
Raschi and Shortstop Phil Riz-
zuto. Weiss originally offered
$35. 900, then $4,000.

Maggio's replacement in CENTER

Take MyWord for 1t
By FFonk Colby

Several stenographers have
asked for an explanation Of viz,
i. e.. sic, and per sc.
Formerly it was the custom to
sprinkle resounding Latin phrases
throughout business letters, and
the elegant" use Of the dead
language made commercial cor
respondence all the more deadly.
Elegance still survives, but, save
for a few phrases, Latin Is being
allowed to rest in peace.
Viz. is the abbreviation Of the
Latin videlicet. meaning it is
plain to See." and is pronounced:
vi-DELL-i-set. Viz, in modern
use, means namely. that is to
say"
The initials i. e., stand for the
Latin phrase i'd est. meaning
simply that is" and Is pro-
nounced to rhyme with Mid
west"
Sic is Latin for thus" It is
used principally as parenthetic
sign that a quotation exactly fol-
lows the original, even though it
may contain an error in gram
mar or spelling. as: Ellis letter
states that the RADIO (sic) tubes
are being shipped"
Per sc Is Latin for "by or of
ITSELF" It rhymes with "her fee"
Note. In best usage, per is used
only with Latin nouns. thus: per
diem day: per annum (year) =,
per capita (head). Therefore.
with English nouns, it is better
to say: five dollars q day; twice
a year; so miles an hour. How
ever. revolutions per minute" is
so we'll established as to be not
only permissible, but customary.

William Berry, a member of the
Rockville Volunteer Fire Depart
ment; Leo Hull, former member
of the Kensington Fire Depart
ment, at present a resident of Lay
louisville; John Stolz of Gathers
burg; and William Griffith of
Beallsville and member of the
Upper Montgomery County Fire
Department. These men handle all
fire and rescue calls transmitted to
this center, operate the sirens at
the fire stations, advise the fire de-
partments of the location and type
of call and maintain radio COM
munications with the fire appara-
tus while out of the fire stations.
In addition to handling fire and
rescue calls, the fire alarm dis
patchers are continually studying
the geography of the territory and
correcting, revising and bringing
up to date visible file record of
all streets and roads in the upper
county. They also prepare a daily
report of all fires in the county
for the county fire marshal's office
and maintain a journal of the ac-
tivities of the control center.
The dispatchers received train

structed in the operation of the
radio transmitter by Lew Rice,
County Radio Engineer and the

Prior to the establishment of
the control board, all up county
fire department radios were on the
same frequency as the police de-
partment and all radio messages
were handled by the police dis
patcher in Rockville. This had
many disadvantages, chief of
which was, that during a fire en-
Urgency the police radio dispatch
ers were overtaXed with radio mes
sages and that the up and down
county fire departments could not
directly communicate with one an
other when both were operating

DickersOn Marine
Wounded Second
Time in Korea

Marine Pfc. Fred w. Linthicum
of Dickerson, Route /, has been
wounded for the second time in
Korean fighting a Department of
Defense release reports.
The 19-year-old Montgomery
County boy is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. Hamilton Linthicum. He
was wounded this time on Febru-
airy 25 and is on the hospital ship
USS Consolation on his way to
Japan to receive treatment for
a torn arm, nerve disturbance and
broken wrist.
Pfc. Linthicum was first wound
ed on November l. At that time
he received leg injuries but was
only out of the line for about a
month. At that time he received
the Purple Heart medal. Both
wounds were received in fighting
in the Inchon sector of the battle
line.
According to letters received by
his family in February he told of
several probing actions by the
North Korean forces. He remarked
at the time that they were all ex-
pecting a lot of action following
this. Soon afterwards, his parents
received the telegram from the
Department of Defense. Pfc. Lin
thicum left Frederick High School
to join the Marines.

spending. extravagant bond issues
and pushed up assessments, the
Democratic Party is the more hope
full answer to clean up the local
mess.
The record is that up to 1916 the
Democrats kept the County tax rate
and assessment rate low and the
people of the County, including the
school children, enjoyed the SER
vices they have today.
Consider further that the County
Council Spenders have had several
million dollars a year more State
taxes with which to finance County
activities than were available to
the earlier Democratic Administra-
tions before the Sherbow Plan went
into effect.
The combination of the Repub-
lean Spenders in the Council and in
the State Legislature several years
ago even collaborated to increase
the County Bond limit to 1870 of
all assessments. The Democrats
got along with a 7fo limit and in
1916 left outstanding Bonds at $50
of the then total County Assess
ment.
The 1854 Campaign in Mont
gomery will be against the Spenders
and to continue a high level of
local governmental services through
reasonable and bearable local taxa
ton.
While | am willing to do my full
one mans share in that approach
ing campaign | shall make con-
siderable effort to avoid the re-
sponsibility or position which is
sometimes called the leadership.
| am sure that there are several
thousand able and enthusiastic
young Democrats and a number of
hundred experienced and capable
middle aged Democrats who to-
] gether will lead this fight.
