Congratulations to the Washington
County Republican Central Com
mittee on their nomination of Phil
l. Harr to succeed John D. Gent
myer as a member of the Washington
County Board of Education. Mr..

Mr.. Harr, who is manager of the
Quality Control Department of the
Fairchild Aircraft Division, has been
extremely active in P-T.A. work and
is currently serving on the Building
Committee of the Fountaindale P
T. A.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harr and their two
sons reside at 523 Gordon Circle,
Fountain Head Heights.
My congratulations also to Mr.
Zentmyer for the fine job he has
done during his term of office, as
chairman of the Board.
All the candidates who filed for
the various offices in the coming
primaries on June %, are staying
in the race, with the exception of
Bernard L. Spielman, Democratic
candidate for Register of Wills, who
withdrew before the Monday night
deadline.
However, under a ruling given by
the Board of Election Supervisors,
the Democratic Central Committee
for the County has until June II to
nominate candidates for the office Of
County Treasurer and Register Of
Wills since, as of now, the Republic
an candidates for these Offices -
Hugh K. TroxelI and Harry New
conner respectively, are un-
opposed The Republican Central
Comittee also has until June IL to
file a candidate for the office of
County Surveyor since only two
democrats have filed for this office.
There are two county elections
coming up in the near future - one
at Funkstown on Monday, and the
other at Boonsboro on May 10.
In the Funkstown election, the only
contests will be for two members of
the fve-man Council
Mayor Guy Hebb, who has held
that Office for the past "A years, is
unopposed, as is Guy Hofmaster,
the assistant Mayor.
There are three candidates for the
two members of the Council = the
incumbents, Lester Conner and Ed
ward Powell, and Bruce Meats. The
other three members of the Council
Ellis G.. Duffey, Paul H Reynolds
and Frank o. Stockslager, have an
other year to serve.
In Boonsboro, however, there is
likely to be quite a lively election,
with two complete states in the field.
Mayor John B. Wheeler will be OPP
posed by Charles L. Demmitt, and
Assistant Mayor L. Dewey Warren
feltz will be opposed by Robert Eel
lers.
For Councilmen, four incumbents,
Joseph Chopper, Clarence Foltz, AL
bert Sinnisen and DIN Snyder, have
filed, as well as Robert Baker, Don
aid Gantz, John Herr, Kenneth Mad
den and Alvey Reid. Five will be
elected.
The election will be centered
around the method of letting the
contract for the modernization of the
towns water system. Some favor
letting the contract to the lowest bid
der, while others favor giving the
job, on a cost plus basis, to the firm
that has already done the prelimin-
airy engineering surveys.
Both states will no doubt state
their preference before election.
