County to
Sell Large
Bond Issue

The County Council will sell a
total of $6,850,00O in bonds on
February o. Most of which will
go for school construction.
OF the total, $4,300,000 will be
for school construction already
authorized. The county still has
more than 81 million in bonds
which it has authorized but has
not needed to sell yet.
Another So million will be al
located for road construction and
improvement throughout the coun-
ty. This represents 100000 less
than was approved in the budget.
This will not be needed, according
to Finance Director Alex X. Ham,
cock, because the Department Of
Public Works has been unable to
get all its front-foot- benefit pro-
jects underway.
OF the remainder, 100000 will
go for Silver Spring parking lots
and $4,000 for parking lots in
Wheaton.
The sale will be held at 2 pm.

Residents Of Montgomery Coun-
ty are asked to light the way for
the Mothers March on Polio by
turning on their porch or front
door light, Wednesday evening,

pm. Apartment house dwellers are
asked to tie a handkerchief, a
glove or something similar on
their apartment door.
Over 5000 volunteers have been
organized to call on every home,
apartment and business place on
behalf of the March of Dimes.
Last year, Montgomery County
rated second in per capita giving

Men s Group
Dinner Held
This Week

The Mems Group of the Rock
vile Presbyterian Church, 35
strong and all hungry, held its
January dinner meeting at the
church Monday night.
Cooks for the evening were
Clark McCutheon, Ira Ward and
Sven Radhe, who turned out few
gastronomic delights known among
the informed as meat loaf, scallop-
ed potatoes, green beans and fruit
salad. Pie and hot rolls also were
on the menu.
Yves Baxter, executive director
of the Rockville Board of Trade,
was guest speaker. He discussed
the functions of the business group
in the community.
The Rev. James Fhal of the Met
ropolitan Presbyterian Church and
DR.. Rosenberger, retired minister
of Rockville, were guests of the
group. Rev. Fhal delivered the de-
votional. Two new members were
welcomed to the meeting. They
were D. B. Stevenson and Robert
H. Thomson.
In the business meeting which
followed the dinner, President Ted
Norcross announced that $50 which
the Mems Group made at their an
nual summer watermelon feast had
been used to buy knotty pine lum-
Der for use in the children's rec
reation room, men of the church
are building on the third floor of
the Sunday School Building. He
also announced plans to expand
membership in the Mems Bible
Class.
Another matter of prime i'm
portance was decided at the meet
ing = namely, who and how the
dishes would be washed following
the monthly dinner. Since some
members in the past have had a
way of ducking this issue with
prior engagements or quick back
door exits, it was decided to low
er the boom by an extra 25 cent
charge on the dinner-the total of
which would be handed over to the
church janitor for doing what no
one wanted to do anyway.

Liquor Sales
In County
On Increase

Sales in Montgomery County
liquor dispensaries jumped II per
cent in December over the pre-
vious years total.
Sales were up $75,101 during
the holiday season, according to
James F. Erwin, head of the Liquor
Control Department.
Mr.. Erwin doesn't believe the
increase was due to publicity
given the crack down by the new
Border patrol on persons bringing
liquor into the county from the
District.
He admits this might have
helped but he believes the inn
crease was attributable, chiefly, to
special prices set on II items in
the county stores during the holt
day rush season.

No Action
Taken by
Council on
Ban

The County Council Tuesday
postponed action on a measure to
extend the mo hunting" sign in
the lower county until after it gets
alternative proposals from the
Izaac Walton League.
The council held a public hear
ing on the measure to prohibit the
discharge of firearms in the entire
regional district last Thursday
night and about 60 hearty hunters
and sportsmen turned out to dis
courage its passage.
Sportsmen said it would take
away lot of open country now
used for hunting and simply in
tensify the sport in the upper
county.
The sportsmen' said there already
were laws that prohibited the dis
charge of firearms within 100 yards
of paved road and within 500
feet of an occupied dwelling.
The league is expected to meet
Monday to come up with proposals
for the councils consideration.
Only one person turned out in
last Thursday nights winter
weather to urge passage of the
ordinance.

Child Care
Adopted
By Council.
Stringent Regulations
Call for Licensing
And Annual Fees

Operators of child care homes
in Montgomery County must re-
gister with the county by March
81 under terms of an ordinance
adopted Tuesday by the County
Council.
The new ordinance requires
everyone caring for one or more
children under 16 years of age for
pay to register and obtain a $25
annual license in order to operate.
Affected will be all day care
centers, nursery homes, boarding
schools, foster family homes and
boarding houses. Such homes are
required under the new law to
conform to provisions of the fire,
building, ectric a |, plumbing
health and welfare codes of the
county.
The law will be administered
by A. Morton Thomas, director of
the department of inspection and
licenses. When an application is
made, the other agencies in cahrge
of the several codes will be asked
to report on the establishment
applying for the license.
Baby sitters or persons caring
for neighborhood children while
parents work will not be required
to take out the license, according to
the County attorneys office. The
ordinance requires that home be
maintained" for child care before
it is regulated.
The ordinance was proposed fol-
lowing the October 8 death of a
four year old boy in Takoma
Park nursery home. Mrs. Lois ].
Sparks, So, operator of the home
is scheduled to face trial Friday
in Circuit Court en- a manslaughter
charge.
A statement from a physician
that the operator and all employees
are free of contagious diseases
and not disabled as to affect their
ability to care for children must
accompany each application.
In addition, the new law prohi-
bits any physical punishment to
a child while in these homes, and
bars the mixing of normal children
with those so severely handicap
ped that they require special care.
A health section requires the
keeping of daily menus for
month; a permanent registry, and
vaccination and innoculations of
all the children.
Health standards also require
that three fourths of all rooms
be above ground level. 400 cubic
feet of air for each child in sleep
ing quarters, 80 square feet of
indoor play space per child and
insect free rooms.
Welfare standards. which ad-
mitedly would be difficult" to
make stick in court, include guar
antees of good moral atmos-
phere," and that children be
with Understanding"

No Public
Parking
On New
County Lot
Sharp Penalties
Provided in Rule
Laid Down This Week

There are just four weeks left
until the county manager gets the
right to hang up the reserved
barking" sign on the multi-million
dollar county buildings huge park
ing lot.
And if you happen to be the cul-
prit who infringes on the "reserv-
ed parking rights, you may be
subject to a $50 fine or 80 days in
hail. That is, of course, if you want
ITO argue your case in court.
If you choose to acquiese, then
all you do is go to the nearest po-
lice station within 48 hours after
getting a ticket and pay the saw
buck the council says you owe for
being trespasser on county
owned property.
The council passed the new
parking law Tuesday after reduc-
ing the maximum penalty from its
originally proposed 500 fine or
six months in Jail.
Councilman Grover Walker de-
clined to vote on the measure and
made it clear he felt the big 200
odd space parking lot behind the
sprawling county building was
county property paid for by coun-
ty taxpayers" and implied he felt
they are entitled to its use.
Council President Harold F.
Hammond did not want the ordin-
ance held up and said eff we get
any kicks it can be changed later"
Mr.. Walker also didn't like the
idea of authorizing the impound-
ing Of any car which happens to
wander into one of the reserved
spaces. He suggested unsuccessful
ly at least 48-hour period be-
fore a car could be ordered towed
away.
County Manager E. T. Beall said
several weeks ago the big lot
would be divided up with all day
parking reserved on about three
fourths of the lot for designated
county employees. About so spaces
will be set aside for the public, he
said, and let out on a first come,
first served basis on short term
period.
When the county staff moved
into the new buildings most of the
spaces were assigned employees.
Bickering over someone getting
into a place assigned someone else
was not unusual and complaints
soon got to Carl Krogmann who
set up the system.
