Vaccine Plan

Montgomery County's second
"go.round' of polio shots in the
Salk vaccine program is waiting
clearance from the United States

According to health depart

schools in the county.
In event of this possibility the
health department is considering
continuing the program either at
designated schools or the health
clinics.
The first shots were given
during the week of April 1929 to
all pupils in the first and second
grades in the county. On May

procedure affect the school day,
but the building needs "snoW-

to Dr. Norris.
Mr.. Reese, last week, sent his
recommendations to the County

budget by $1,020,51O, and the
capital requests by $3,100,000.
His estimates were based on an
average per pupil cost of $250.81

figure of $268.52, and a reduc-
ton of the estimated enrolment
figure of 500.

Ask Reese
To. Explain
His Action

County Manager M. L. Reese's
recommended cuts in the school
budget started an immediate re-
action this week.
The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil of PTAs opened its regular
meeting to the public Tuesday
night at Gaithersburg High and
invited Mr.. Reese to attend and
give his justification of "the
crisis in public education in Mont.
gomery County" caused by his
proposals.
In the telegram of invitation,
Myron S. Isaacs, PTA president,
and Jesse MacKnight, president.
elect, protested the cut in the
operating budget because it will
compel a severe lowering of
standards in Montgomery Coun-
ty and a reduction in the salary
scale of teachers at time when
you are recommending increases
in salaries for other county EN-.
ployees.
The telegram also stressed
that, without any adequate ex.
PLANTATION of the cuts, it was i'm.
possible for parents and teach
ers, who are also taxpayers,
or others to understand the basis
for recommendation.
The Montgomery County Edu.
cation Association, composed of
teachers in the county's schools,
also issued a statement, terming
Reese's budget "a destructive
blow to our school system from
which the county might never
fully recover because we are
facing one of the most crucial
school years in the county's re.
cent history . in the face of
national teacher shortage, Mont
gomery County must battle other
localities to hire qualified
teachers"
Prince Georges, Arlington and
Fairfax Counties and the District
Of Columbia already have higher
salary scales than Montgomery
at present, the association said.
Because "the cost of catching up
on a building program, once it is
seriously in arrears, would be
overwhelming" the Education
Association urged the County
Council to restore the school
budget cuts.
A SO vote on the Council is
necessary to raise Reese's recon.
mendations to the original budget
figures.
In an emergency meeting last
Thursday night, the School Board
took steps to meet with the
County Council some time before
the June 10 budget hearing in
order to soften the blow to the
proposed program for next year.
