DonoId's Hopes Run

When Donald has a yard of

Donald wants to be a farmer

He is a tall. underweight boy

office of a social worker to apply
for a trip to summer camp the
other day, he wore trousers that
were too long, handed down from
his father, and worn out with

of his tennis shoes.
But Donald also wore a big
grin at the idea of going to
camp.
1t would be his first vacation.
He has never had a chance to

He also wants to look for pretty

he only makes 1922 a month.

Teachers 10 Gel
6 Pct. Raise
Montgomery Council
Clarifies Intention

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil yesterday said its recently
adopted budget provides funds
for granting a 6 per cent across
the board salary increase for all
teachers on top of their incre-
ment raises.
The question had been raised
by School Supt. Forbes H. Nor
ris, who thought the councils
discussions at the budget session
indicated the per cent raise was
to apply only to 1856 salaries
but not to the increments.
Figure Corrected
Council President Robert T.
Snure agreed. But when it was
learned that, in computing the
funds appropriated for the raise
the increments also had been
jumped 6 per cent, the council
corrected its resolution and save
the teachers an additional pay
raise of about SO a year.
Council member Stella B.
Werner urged the council to par
ticipate in a court test of its au-
thority over the spending by the
school board. She said she felt
the council was out of line
in trying to tell the school board
how its money was to be spent.
Mr.. Snure agreed that court
test may be necessary with both
parties joining, but, he said, it
should await the opinion re-
quested from the Attorney Cen
eral by the school board.
The board last week asked the
States top legal officer to deter
mine whether the Council had
the authority to adopt its reso-
luton of intent on the teacher
pay question.
Uncertain Authority
Mr.. Snure said he was not
certain just what the councils
authority was, but he did want
the teachers to realize exactly
what the council had in mind in
providing funds for teachers SAL
aries. Last year. he said. most
councilmen felt they were pro-
viding funds for a $400 raise for
all teachers, only to find out that
some of them got as little as a
SIS increase while others got the
$500.
Mr. Snure said he felt the
councils authority did give it
some budgetary control over the
school board

Meyer Sentenced
For Stealing STA
In Cheverly Case

Leon r. Meyer, former prin-
cipal of the Happy Acres Ele-
mentary School in Cheverly,
Md. was sentenced to three
years in the House of Correction
yesterday for Incorporating
school funds under his super
vision.
Judge John R. Fletcher of the
Prince Georges County Circuit
Court told Meyer that, las a
member of the teaching profess
sion. you have not only brought
disgrace upon yourself and your
innocent wife and children, but
you also have thrown away your
opportunities to ever again pur-
sue the teaching profession.
Sees "Jolt' Needed
Judge Fletcher said he SEN
fenced Meyer to the jail term
because Il feel you need a jolt
that will be a constant reminder
to you that you must not appro-
pirate to yourself what belongs
to others" He said the sentence
also would serve as a warning to
Others in similar positions of
trust"
Meyer was convicted of steal
ing $274.50 in school funds dur
ing September. 1855, while serv-
ing as principal of the school.
Judge Fletcher also sentenced
three men and a woman to five
year terms on a robbery charge
growing out of an assault on
James Ray Fritz, 80, of the 300
block OF Benton street NV, last
February 4.
Those sentenced were Martin
IB. Farnestock, "a, of the 100
block of Sixty-fourth street,
Maryland Park; Chancie Coins,
I29, of the 100 block of Sixty
fourth street, Maryland Park;
Robert E. Kaufman, 20, of the
700 block of Seventy-first avenue,
Seat Pleasant, and Marlene
Mary Campagna. 81, of the 540O
: block of Marlboro pike.
Woman Used "AS Bait"
The group was convicted OF
robbing Mr.. Fritz after Mrs
: Campagna induced him to take
her home from a tavern. Police
! said the three men attacked Mr.
. Fritz on Iverson street. HillcreSt
) Heights. when Mrs. Campagna
asked to be let out of the car.
Next to murder or rape
Judge Fletcher told the group
the crime you have been con-
victed of is the most heinouS
conceivable where four people
!. would plan to carry out the ole
, badger game by using a woman
as bait and three men pounce
i, on an unsuspecting victim.
Judge Fletcher said he was
, sentencing the group to five
, years each because it is neceS-
sary Ito convince you that you
cannot repeat such a thing and
to discourage others from at
tempting it."
