Lame Duck Board
May Give Contract 10
Loyal Republican

The Prince Georges County
Commissioners. limping through
their first meeting as ELAINE
ducks" with less than a month
to go in Office, showed yesterday
there is still some fight left ir
Republican ranks, even after 8
stunning defeat at the polls.
+. Raymond Burch, College
Park real estate and insurance
man and a former Democratic
member of the House Of Dele
gates, appeared before the com.
missioners in Hyattsville to ask
for a renewal of a 100000 fire
insurance policy he has held fol
the last 10 years on Frederick
Sasscer High School in Upper
Marlboro. It is renewable every
five years.
There are q lot Of good Re-
publicans who worked hard fol
u.s." said Thomas E. Latimer
the outgoing chairman. "Some
Of them may expect to get this
business" He told Mr.. Burch
the commissioners would refer
the matter to their Insurance
Committee and 'let you know
later"
$72O-A-Year Policy.
Mr.. Burch told reporters that
Thomas F. Hicks, the commits
sionerS' clerk, told them he al.
ready has been instructed to
place the $720-a-year policy
elsewhere, presumably with 8
loyal Republican.
The commissioners deferred g

They held over a request by

Delegate Votes
Being Checked
LlhonigOnl||'el'ry
Reconyossine Made
At Request Of
Defeated Condidute

The Montgomery Eounty
Board Of Supervisors of Elec-
tio1s, With representatives Of
both the Republican and Demo-
cratic Parties. today began d
check III alI voting machines
used in Tuesdays election as d
result Of the closeness Of the
House Of Delegates race between
Mrs. Genevieye Wells and Gill
bert GUIDE. II
I Mrs. Wells, defeated in the lln-
official count by Republican
Guide BY only SO votes, had
askedt that the check be made
before the election results were
certified to circuit court.
Willard IA. King. president Of
the board, said he did not know
how long the recanvassing would
take. There are some 200 ma
chimes on which the results re-
ported by election judges must
be checked against the actual
count recorded on the back of
each machine.
Recess Until Monday.
The election supervisors, Sit
ting as a board of canvaSsers,
were almost ready to complete
the official canvass early Friday
morning after some Is hours Of
work when Mrs. Wells asked for
the check. Mr.. King said. The
canvass was recessed at that
time until Monday morning.
Mrs. Wells and her supporters
asked the machine check when
they failed to pick up the
needed votes from some $50 abb
sentee ballots counted Thursday.
Mr.. GUIDE actually added Is to
40 votes to his margin in the
absentee count.
Maryland election laws pro-
vide that within 10 days after
the election. the supervisors must
open the counter mechanism Of
each machine and recanvass the
votes reported by the election
Judges.
Check Decided On.
Mfr. King said today that this
was the first time he knew such
q check had been made before
the election results were certi-
fed. to Circuit Court. He added
that the board yesterday could
have completed the canvass but
1t decided to check the machines
before certifying the results.
Ward w. Caddington, chair
man Of the Democratic State
Central Committee, said the
procedure being used probably
would stave, off any demand for
q recount. Mr.. King said the
law requiring the machine re-
canvass was ambiguous. He
added it was a mammoth job
and could not possibly be COM
pleted in a city like Baltimore
in 10 days because Of the
thousands of machines to be
checked.
Some election officials believe
the check In Montgomery will
be completed over the week end.
Mr.. Caddington said he hopes
the certification can be made
Monday. The only job left in
the official canvass when it
recessed at Z am. yesterday was
the balancing Of the Democratic
sheet against the Republic sheet.

Old MOSilnan Home
Becomes BluftOn
College Property
Grove Street Residence
To Be RemOdeled As
Presidents Home

The old Mosiman home on Grove
street, n of the first to be erected
more than so years ago in that part
of Bluffton, has become the property
of Button college, and after a re-
modelling program, is to become the
residence of the college presidents.
Provision for turning the home
over to the college he served as presi-
dent was made before the death of
DR.. S. K. Mosiman. Following his
death in 1910 an agreement was pre-
pared which granted a monthly al
lowance to Mrs. Mosiman in ex-
change for a deed to the property
which was placed in escrow to be
delivered to the college after her
death.
The same agreement provided that
the college was to have all of the
books in the Mosiman library.
1t has long been thought that when
the property passed to college owner
ship it should become the residence
of whoever was president of the col
lege at that time, The college ad-
ministration committee decided upon
this course of action since Mrs. Most
mans death.
Although it looks much larger from
the outside, the house actually has
about the same room inside as the
present residence of the president.
The building was constructed over
fifty years ago, in fact it was of
the first residences built in that sec
ton of the town. It was built in an
architectural style characteristic of
that day; for example the ceilings
downstairs are over ten feet high and
those upstairs a foot higher. How
ever, the building is basically in ex-
cellent condition. Since there has
been no redecoration of the inside of
the building and no modernization for
at least twenty years, considerable
work needs to be done. Plans are
underway to modernize kitchen and
bathroom facilities. Some plastering
/ needs to be done and all rooms are to
be repapered. All floors are of hard
wood and in excellent condition but
| need sanding and refinishing.

History can be used as a naviga-

in the future, DR.. Robert S. Krieder,
assistant professor of history at
Bluffton college, told the Lions club
at their dinner meeting Tuesday.
Speaking on the subject, Looking
Backward into the Future" Or.
Kreider emphasized the fact that
many of history's great changes have
been brought about by highly dedi-
Gated minority groups. "The role
Of the creative minority should not
be overlooked" he said.
Nations, as individuals, should be-
ware of self satisfaction. The great
civilizations have arisen in response
to great challenges, he said.

March OF Dimes Within $3.50 OF Record
Expect Collection OF
Store Containers To Put
81 Drive Over Top

With less than $3.50 to 60, and con
tributions still uncounted in the
various test tube containers in Bluff
toms stores, it appeared that last
years March of Dimes campaign
record would be equalled or surpass-
ed by the final count at the end of
this week.
DR.. Boyd w. Travis said Wednes-
day that his committee was pleased
with the outcome of the campaign
and gratifed with the manner in
which Button residents have again
responded to the war-cry against
Polio.
At press time the Lions committee
counted 81, 792.6S on hand. Exper-
fence in past years indicates that the
collection in I've store coin containers
usually yields an additional 5000 to
$500. A few other contributions usu-
ally trickle in at the last minute
which should assure the 1854 drive
will equal last years total of $2,056.
Porchlite night last Thursday
brought a fine response with a total
of S470.87 being collected by mem
bers of the Lions club who called at
each home in the community. Rich
land township mothers under chair,
Nmanship of Mrs. James stratton &C.
counted for another 3877.O5 in a
house-to-house campaign of a week
earlier! E,s.
Again Barber Tuay swank's
parade of dollars was one of the
highlights of the drive. Mr.. Swank
said Wednesday that the dollars
which hang in a long green ribbon
several times around his shop, total
1858.
Collections at the Carma Theatre
and at local basketball games under
Chairman M. M. Triplett passed the
5000 mark by Wednesday.
DR.. Travis said that a final report
would be made in time for mex
weeks paper. Suggestions that the
campaign be continued lrther wer,
not considered since Fe8ruary usheri
in another campaign for the Ameri
can Heart Fund.
