Fan'i!yFa17'ling Idea
Backed BY Ne1U Agent

Something new has been added
to Montgomery County farm life
man, a farm family and a
new idea.
The man is Delbert T. Foster,
age 40, new County Agricultural
Extension Agent The family is
Mr.. and Mrs. Foster and their ~
year-old daughter, Christy Lou.
And the new idea is "the
family approach to farm living"
1t involves the closest possible
teamwork between Mr.. Foster
and his immediate staff and Mrs.
Catherine Rhoads, County Home
Demonstration Agent, and her
associates.
Mr.. Foster, who took up the
reins of his new job Monday,

COP Rule
OF 8 Years
Is Broken

Montgomery County voters, af-
ter eight years of Republican
domination, apparently decided
it was time for a change on
Tuesday and swept Democratic
candidates into office.
Unofficial returns from the
County Wednesday morning indi-
Gated that the Democrats had
captured all seven County Coun-
Gil seats and at least five out of
six of the County's posts in the
State Assembly.
Some indication of the decisive
nature of the switch may be
gathered from the fact that the
Democrats seemed certain to
take over other elective county
offices such as Judges of the
Orphans Court, States Attorney
and Register of Wills.
The voting in most County
precincts was unexpe C e dly,
heavy in view of prediction re-
ports of lassitude. This was
viewed by observers as indicative
of the effective organizational
work on the part of both par.
ties and an unsupported degree
of voter-interest.
County voters apparently

r. Plummer - all Democrats
were ahead in the Orphans Court
contest.
Especially notable was the APP
parent victory of Stella Werner
who faced a hard fight from
Louis A. Gravelle for the Coun-
Gil. Mrs. Werner apparently not
only defeated her opponent but
led all the Democratic Council
candidates in votes.

DEMOCRATS SWEEP TO VICTORY in COUNTY :
WIN ALL OF COUNCIL, 5 ASSEMBLY SEATS
Is Band Singer
Musician or What?

Is a singer with a dance
band entertainment, or a
necessary and integral part
of a band?
This was the tough ques-
ton that the Rockville City
Council found themselves
contending with M on day
night as they voted an auto
matte renewal on the dance
license for the Charcoal
House on Rockville Pike for
two weeks in advance. The
action was taken to enable
manager Willard Steinberg
to plan a bit ahead and was
based on a strict dance
music but no entertainment
basis.
Mr.. Steinberg raised the
question about the vocalist
and produced a 15-minute dis
cussion. The Council, with
some hesitation, finally ruled
that a vocalist is a part of a
band and not entertainment.

Hyde Holds
Small Edge
Over Ryan.

While Montgomery County
swept local Democrats into office,
it was resolutely Republican in
the Gubernatorial and Congress
sional races.
Governor T. r. McKeldin was
leading his Democratic opponent
DR.. H. c. Byrd, in the State by
the apparently conclusive margin
of 342,1S6 to 283,632. McKeldin
took Montgomery County by 49,
$50 to 28,251 for Byrd Montgom-
ery's suburban neighbor, Prince
Georges showed sharp contrast
by going for Byrd by substantial
figures.
In the Sixth District Congress
sional race, the County remained
faithful to it's native son, Repub-
lican Dewitt S. Hyde by giving
him 2,14S votes to 29,157 for Ed
ward ]. Ryan, Democratic stand,
ard-bearer from Frostburg.
The race in the district was un-
expectedly close, however, with
Hyde leading Ryan by 55,944 to
53,257 at late hour Wednesday.
In his prediction forecast, Mr..
Hyde told the SENTINEL that he
saw no trend in the area that
would lessen his $4,000 vote vic

Edwards
Bulls Unit
Is Beaten

A County Board of Education
election race that was full of bit
ternesS resulted Tuesday in the
apparent victory of the educa-
tional liberals" over more con-
sentative candidates.
The team of William F. Bulls
and Mrs. Leila Edwards -gener-
ally regarded as favoring a
stronger emphasis on the three
Rs at the expense of modern
educational theories-seemed to
have lost to the rival combination
of Lathrop Smith and Mrs. Rose
Kramer.
The campaign was enlived by
charges that Mr.. Bulls had
sought to allow pressure groups
to inspect county school texts
while Mrs. Edwards was attacked
for her late.hour admission of
membership in the controversial
Minute Women organization
which has allegedly brought pres
sure to bear on school policies
and personnel in other pafts~of
the country.
In rebuttal, the Bulls Edwards
faction had charged that their
opponents were being benefited
by campaign funds of unusual
size for a non-paying job and
from mysterious sources.
The school board break down:
Victory of unopposed incum-
bents Harrison c. King, First
District; Willard G. McGraw, Sec
ond; and Helen M. Scharf,
Fourth.
In the third district, Lath-
rop Smith well ahead of Viii
liam F. Bulls; in the fifth dis
trict Mrs. Kramer leading Jeanne
D. Andersen, Mrs. Edwards and
Stanley M. Levy in that order
Winners of the two at-large seats
were Wylie w. Barrow and
Wayne Birdsell. Mr.. Barrow re-
ceived the largest vote of any
candidate.

Area Land
Bloc Wins
Zone Fight

Up-County land owners were
breathing easier this week after
hearing most of the candidates
for the County Council assure
them last Thursday evening at
Gaithersburg that they were far
from satisfied with the proposed
coming ordinance and would open
discussion on it no matter what
the present Council votes on Nov.
4.
Rage flared high among mem
bers of the Land Owners Asso-
citation last week after the
current Council had reiterated
its determination to vote on the
controversial coming ordinance
for up-county on Nov. and pro-
badly pass it.
o. w. Anderson, association
president, termed the ordinance
unfair and said it doomed the
up-county area to stagnation. He
called for changes in both the
road code and subdivision ordi-
nances. The mass meeting at
Gaithersburg to which Council
candidates were invited pointed
ly gave expression to these
views on the part of the 300 per-
sons attending.
Spokesman for the association
told the candidates that they are
not opposed to planning per Sc
and that they were "all in favor
of reasonable road code adj
ministered by local people"
Candidates assured the meet
ing that they would, if elected,
reopen the zoning matter even
though the Council votes it in on
Nov. 4. Observers believe that
there is now doubt that the vote
will be taken on Nov. 4.
The land owners, while molli-
fled, are still watching develop
ments and may start injunction
action should the Council pass
the measure and should the new
Council fail to repeal such an &C.
ton. They say that SO percent
of up-county land owners are
united in opposition to the zon-
ing measure as it now stands.

Prescott Hits
County Road
Repair Stand

In what he termed a most I'M
usual case - different from any
of the millions of other cases
decided in the country - Judge
Stedman Prescott of Montgom-

week ruled against the county
and in favor of the right of a
developer to repair roads in his
subdivision despite efforts of
the County to stop him.
AS a result of the decision,
other developers in the County
will be able to go ahead with
road repair in their subdivisions,
provided the County has not &C,
cepted the road for maintenance,
without threat of County legal
action in reprisal.
