This was indicated as a "lOgi

ber who pointed the following
facts out to the SENTINEL:
1. The Board now has before

school construction of $8,037, $40
which Is based on assumed in

schools by September 1856 and
in high schools at the start of

budget and its guiding premise,

A request for salary increases
amounting to about S4O0 per Off

on the desk of the County Per

Scotty andButch We're Pals;
NoaU NetU Eye Is Needed

Scotty and Butch" are sepa-
rating.
1t is a sad parting because
Butch" - after eight years of
faithful service to his master,
blind Norman Scott of Rockville
is going on a one-way trip to
that special rest which we know
a merciful Lord to have created
for dogs that have grown tired
after a long life of service and
companionship.
1t was eight years ago that
Norman - or Scotty as he is
better known to most of Rock.
vile - went out to Rochester,
Mich, to get Butchtand bring him
back to Rockville.
Eight years is a long time in
a dogs life and Butch, after pi-
loting Scotty across countless
street crossings and in and out
of homes, stores and offices, is
going to sleep. 1t will be better
that way for of late Butch, in his
weariness and diabetic condition,
has been leading Scotty to chairs
instead of doorways.
Butch, you see, wants to rest.
He has earned it.
This would leave Scotty in a
lonely and helpless condition ex.
cept for friends and friends with
sympathetic hearts. There are
many of these friends.
The Kiwanis club of Rockville
is one group of them. The local
Kiwanians are putting up $3.50
for a new seeing eye dog - one
that will probably never take
Montgomery County sentinel., 1955-03-24

Butch's place completely, but one
that will win his own way into
Scotty's regard as the two of
them make their way around
Rockville.
The County welfare people are
also among Scotty's friends. They
are helping Scotty to find work
that he can do - and Scotty
wants to work. And with the
new dog, Scotty will be more EN-.
.ployable.
The people at the Leader Dogs
for the Blind training school at
Rochester, Mich. - near Detroit
- number themselves among
Scotty's friends. They are max
ing special arrangements to meet
the BIO train that will bring
him to Detroit and take care of
him for a week while they match
him with just the right dog.
And the BIO itself is going to
be its familiar, courteous human
self about Scotty from the time
he steps on the train at Silver
Spring on the morning of Mar.
26 until his arrival in Detroit the
next day. Porters, dining car
stewards and trainmen will all
give him a helping hand.
Scotty should be back in Rock
vile with his new "eye" around
Apr. 2. We think it would be
nice if everybody went out of the
way a bit to be really friendly
TO the new combination.
Would we be too sentimental
if we say Butch would want it
that way?

David Cahoon, City Attorney,
was in the midst of a report to
the Council the burden of which
was that assurances had been
given the City by the County
delegation to the legislature that
Rockville would be excluded from
the authority of the new regional
district.
This would allow Rockville to
retain local control over planning
and zoning aspects which are con
sidered vital functions by the
present City administration.
AS Mr.. Cahoon was reporting
the City fathers were informed
that on Tuesday afternoon the
County Council had instructed its
staff to write to the County dele
cation expressing the wish that
no local jurisdiction be exempted
from the authority of the re
gional planning district.
The Council letter will express
the hope that the regional plan
ming authority will consult" with
the zoning authorities of Cath
ersburg, Washington Grove and
Rockville before acting.
Nevertheless, it is clear that
the County Council has gone on
record in favor of the complete
and final authority of the pro
posed new planning district on
this matter.
Councilman John Oxley imme-
diately proposed an executive ses-
sion of the City Council Thurs
day evening formally to draft its
views on the matter and a public
hearing to start at $50 p. m. the
same evening. Councilman Alex
ander Greene agreed saying that
if the bill now pending passes
without excluding Rockville from
the Countrywide zoning authority,
the next step should be to ask
the Governor asking for a veto of
the bill.
1t was indicated that informa-
ton on the status of the bill may
be available Thursday night and
that if Rockville seems likely to
lose control over its own future
growth Mayor D. Y. Hovsepian
may call a mass meeting of all
citizens in protest.
In other action:
1. Approval was granted to the
re-zoning of $4,000 square feet of
land on Orange and Oak Ave,

County Council Plans
Steps to Tighten Purse
Strings ON Park Unit

A series of proposals to i'm
pose tighter fiscal control by
the county over the Mary
land-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission was
endorsed Tuesday by the
County Council.
A recommendation by Snure
that no municipalities, including
Rockville, be exempted from the
scope of the Councils planning
powers won the groups backing.
The Council recommended that
the six member commission be
retained with local control of
appointments. 1t suggested that
two hold-overs, Carlton E. Plyes
and Sidney M. Oliver, be allowed
to serve out their six-year terms
which expire in 1857.
The suggested reorganization
scheme generally coincided with
compromise plan worked out
in Annapolis Tuesday by the
joint Montgomery and Prince
Georges delegations.
But the county heads also
also urged legislation which
would require the commission to
submit an annual budget on the
same basis as other county de-
partments.
The commission would be held
accountable from funds allocated
by the council out of proceeds of
an administrative tax.
County manager Melvin L.
Reese recommended that the
commission be held to a perform
ance budget which it would have
to submit before being awarded
funds.
Council members opposed two
provisions of a bill which would
allow the commission to acquire
lands for school sites and ar
terial highways from proceeds
of local levies.
The move to trim commission
powers and tie its purse strings
to the council was spearheaded
by Mrs. Stella B. Werner, long
time foe of the bi.county plan
ming agency
Mrs. Werner was unable to
get council endorsement of pro-
posals to transfer title on park
lands outside the Capper- Cram
ton system from the commission
to the county and TO slice pro-
posed salary scales for commits
sion members. Robert r. Snure
termed her recommended per
diem salary of $50 to commits
sioners ridiculous.
The council named c. Edward
Nicholson, Jr., now of the Dis
trict, as assistant county attor-
ney at an annual salary of $7,311.
Nicholson, who has served
more than four years as special
assistant to the United States
Attorney General, will succeed
John w. Neumann effective
| April |.

1t did indicate, however, some
concern over the fact that in the
metropolitan area no less than
eight independent civil defense
agencies are operative.
The District of Columbia CD
office, which seems to be granted
a primary authority by county
officialdom, promptly passed the
conclusionless report along to
the District Commissioners with
a request to know what steps
should be taken in the evacua-
tion-shelter problem.
Later, it was suggested that
perhaps Montgomery County
would not - after all - be call
ed on to shelter hundreds of
thousands of district refugees.
The refugees might be sheltered
within a four-mile radius of the
enemy bomb target which is eX-
pected to be downtown Wash
ington.
The idea of the "close in shell
ter plan" is that it would pro

Dear Miss Ball:
Pete and / met at a dance las
month. We hit it off Immediately,
in fact it seems like love at first
sight. We've decided to get mar
ried soon, but my parents want to
give us an engagement party and
then have US wait month or two
more. Don't you think this would
be old fashioned? We know it is
love, SO why should we wait? Why
can't parents ever understand and
cooperate?
Emily, Nashville, Tenn.
Dear Emily:
Maybe your parents do under
stand and are trying to save you a
few heartaches later. You say it is
love at first sight. How can you be
so sure? Meeting at a dance does
not tell you much about a person,
Then, too, months courtShip is
not long enough to reveal either
persons true character. In fact, the
novelty or thrill has not yet worn
off.
1t has been found that couples
who have their parents consent
and blessings, and help, experience
the happier. marriages. The en-
gagement has a definite purpose.
Try it out. Get to know your young
man thoroughly and discuss anti
cipated problems of marriage.
Make your plans for handling fam
lily finances, children, recreational
activities. and so on.
Statistics have shown that long
er engagement. periods make. for
more stable marriages. Be. wise,
make use of other peoples mis-
takes. If it is truly the ''real thing .
the engagement priod will cement
your love bonds and bring greater
happiness in the future. The best
Of luck to you both!
