Crews Halt Advance
OF Forest Fire
BY the Associated Press

WAYCROSS. Ga. Mar. IA
Firefighting crews today halted
the forward movement of the
forest fire at Foley. in north
Florida, and the Forest Service
said the general situation looks
much improved.
The week-old South Georgia
blaze also appears under con-
troll.
A series of backtires which
Florida crews built yesterday
met the onward rush of the
fast-moving Foley head fire and
slowed the forward movement
sufficiently for firefighters to
gain an upper hand.
With the head fire halted,
crews moved around on the
south flank to battle the blaze
from that direction. A wind shift
to the south appeared likely.
John M. Bethea, fire control
chief, said. The situation is
less critical now than at any
time since the breakout started.
If the winds don't shift we
should be able to hold. The
head of the fire appears in good
shape"
More than $4,000 acres of tim
bcr and sWampland have been
devastated in the most destruc-
tive blaze in State Forest Serv-
ice history.
Encouraging reports came from
the South Georgia fire east of
famed Okefenokee Swamp, which
appeared to be under control
after sweeping about $4,000
acres in a week
Guyton Deloach, director of
the Georgia Forestry Commission
said volunteers and forestry de-
partment employees had thrown
up fire lines around the blaze
UNLESS the wind changes, 1 think
it's checked" he said.
About 400 men were battling
the fires in the two States.

Maryland Teachers
Ask State 10 Spend
More for Schools
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 14.-The
Maryland State Teachers Asso-
citation today got out a new book
let plugging for more State
money for public schools.
"Marylanders spent only 1893
per cent of their total income
for current expenses of public
schools" it said. only four
States spend a smaller propor-
ton of income for schools"

The booklet is a reStatement,
with some new arguments and
some notifications. of the FIVE
year school program adopted last
spring by the Teachers Associa-
ton and the Maryland Congress
of Parents and Teachers.
About 5000 copies were mailed
today to the SIS local PTA units
throughout the State, all Mary
land legislators, all members OF
local school boards, county su-
perintendents, school principals,
MSTA faculty representatives in
the schools, and presidents of
local teachers associations.
The Teachers Association par
ticularly and the PTA to a
lesser extent was criticized by
legislators at Annapolis last week
for political activities in election
campaigns and pressure for
higher school appropriations dur
ing General Assembly sessions.
State School Supt. Thomas G..
Pullen was asked about this at
a legislative hearing on the State
school budget for 1886. He
said he was, against school people

A surge OF commercial ventures
with an anticipated valuation of
over 81 million in Upper Mont
gomery County is reflected in
the files of Montgomery County
planning and building permit
offices.
During the first 68 days of
1855. permits for over $500.000
in commercial projects have been
issued by the building inspection
Office of the Montgomery County
Department of Inspections and
Licenses
Spurred in part by the ap-
proach of the Washington Ma
tional Pike superhighway tnew
Route 240, now approaching
Rockville), builders obtained the
permits for the projects between
January l and yesterday.
Motel Included
The proposals include a $780,
900 motel, commercial buildings,
gasoline stations and a ware
house.
Still in the early planning
stages are other ventures with
an estimated valuation of over
100000.
An additional incentive for the
developers is the imminence of
the first Upper County zoning
ordinance The ordinance, still
subject to amendment, is sched-
uled to go into effect on May 2.
If a commercial project is under
way before the ordinance goes
into effect. builders believe the
land will qualify as having an
existing use and will be classi-
fled as commercial.
Just how far under way the
commercial plans have to be is
still being considered. Develop
els apparently are operating
under the theory that land will
be classified commercial if a
building permit for a business
structure has been obtained and
wall foundations poured.
Charles M. Irelan, county at
torney, said a precise definition
of existing use" in connection
with the scheduled ordinance
has not yet been determined.

though we have set the ball

not yet quite satisfied with
the results.

Full Steam Ahead

TOGETHER with Junior Order Director
! bro Michael Grasha, we had the plea
sure recently of making an official Estate
visit to Gary, Indiana, in conjunction with
the staging there July 2-3-4 of the Society's
4th National Junior Convention.
What we accomplished during that mis-
sion was reported at length in the English
Section last week. To repeat what was writ
ten regarding that visit to Gary would be
a waste of time and space. Those interested
in the Junior Convention are acquainted
every week with details pertaining to the
gathering and always know whats up"
Those not interested in the Gary con-
clave simply don't bother reading anything
we write. Which is their privilege.
Today we want to go off on another
Junior Convention tangent, that of telling
the fraternal world about our highly en-
thused young and old members in Gary. g,
Meeting with them on the evening of
April 13 to discuss plans for the 4th Ma
tional Junior Convention turned out to
be both privilege and pleasure, re-
velation in the light of their open friend
lness and spirit of cooperation.
We sat around table in the Croatian
Center with 18 of our leaders in that area,
men and women representing Lodges 10
and 727, Junior Nest 10 and the Nest 10
Mothers Club, and left completely con-
vinced that, collectively, they will help
make the 4th National Junior Convention
what it deserves to be - great success,
Frankly, we have seldom met with a
more cooperative group of people
We WILL of course, return to Gary for
the July 2-3-4 Junior Convention.
In the meantime, we know our members
there will carry out their plans for that
gathering long before the Junior and Hon
orary Delegates arrive in Gary July 1, and
do so with the Full Steam Ahead" spirit
they manifested April 13.
Garys end of the 4th National Junior
Convention plans couldn't be in better
hands. That we know - for sure.

FOR THE FUTURE WELFARE OF OUR SOCIETY

But we never once permitted the several
such sound beatings we took to get the best
of us, never allowed our defeats to deprive
us of reason
To the victor in the end belong the
spoils, be they earned on the field of battle
or in a Lodge meeting hall during nomina-
tions for Candidates for Delegates.
For the future welfare of our Society,
for the common good of all, we appeal to
one and all to help make these pre-Conven-
ton nominations in a reserved manner.
Let there be wide differences of opinion
between contesting Candidates. Let there
be debates and arguments over the relative
merits of those seeking to become Delegates
to the Convention.
But, in Heavens name, let these and
other reasons for "wOrds, words and
more words not lead to anything that
will cause either the Lodge or Croatian
FraternaI Union rreparable harm or
bring dissention into the ranks of our
great Society.
Not one of us can afford to indulge in
the sport" Of name calling mud singing
or character assassination and avoid paying
the piper in the bitter end.

that none of us was born perfect
