Now that the Wheaton UN
Committee has officially adopted
a war orphan, Anne Hogben,
chairman of t h e committee,
would like to express her appre-
citation to the following who have
given so much time and effort
toward making this project a
success:
William Scrimgeour of the
Lions Club; Mrs. Ruth Ferguson,
Pleasantview PTA; Jack Math-
eny, Highland Elementary; Mrs.
Charlotte Maple, Hughes Metho-
dist Church; Mrs. Hugh Easter,
Wheaton Presbyterian Church;
Mrs. Vivian Rotkin, Wheaton unit
of the League of Women Voters;
a n d Philip Travis, Wheaton
Chamber of Commerce.
Don't think for moment that
I've stopped bothering Isl" Sher-
man, owner of the Heitmuller
Tract, as to what he's planning
for that huge commercial de-
velopment. So far just the Giant
Food Store has been signed, but
there are many, many different
types of stores being considered.
He claims he's not at liberty to
disclose any of the negotiations,
but as soon as he can let me
know, I'll pass the word along.
I'm still campaigning for Macy's
or GimbePs but 1 don't know
whether they will listen to my
plea. "Si" says to write them
letters. Isl" says to write them
letters. Let them know that we
want them to consider Wheaton
as their headquarters for this
metropolitan district Not a bad
idea.
He did say, however, that a
food lane supermarket and a
kosher delicatessen will be built
in the Wheaton Manor Shopping
Center.
Joe O'Connell, from Wheaton,
and a big wheel in the Civil De
Tense Department Of Montgom-
cry County is mighty generous.
Upon learning that the State
of Massachusetts doesn't even
have one geiger counter for their
civil defense department, he's
willing to give them one since
our county has three of them.
Boy, that's an awful lot of
geiger counters floating around,
must say.
How much is your child's edu-
cation worth?
DR.. Forbes Norris is requesting
approximately a three million
'ollar increase over last years
operating budget to meet the
growing needs of the tremendous
pupil enrolment expected this
fall.
The figures that were released
asst week by the County School
}oard of Education show the
biggest increase in the new pupils
or September to be in Wheaton
md Rockville.
Wheaton High School can eX-
Nect a record increase of 497 stu.
Tents.
Weller Road and Wheaton
Woods anticipate increases of 213
and 800 students respectively.
Not to mention the over-crowd-
,dness of the existing schools like
ilenmont, PleasantView a n d
Highland Elementary.
I would like to urge everyone
to attend the hearings and sup,
port the preliminary budget re-
quests of the Superintendent OF
Schools.
The new hearing date set is for
Mar. 81 at the Richard Montgom
cry High School at 8 pm. Please
make it a date for you or your
husband.
