Boys Help Out q.
After the accident, friends of
the two boys who died in the
crash, asked Jolson Pharmacy at
1852 East Capitol street, If he
would help raise money for the
two families.
Mr.. Jolson said he would, and
organized the boys to collect
funds about the neighborhood.
They collected $275, he said,
spent $50 on flowers and divided
the rest between the two fami-
lies.
Two days ago Mr.. McSwain
came to him. Would he help
again?
This time, Mr.. Jolson said. he
thought an appeal reaching
more people would do the most
good.
Please said Mr.. McSwain--

send any donations to the
pharmacy in care of Mr.. Jolsoa."

The Rea Construction Co. will

construction will complete the
widening of Viers Mill road from
Rockville, a distance of about
six miles.
The first section from Rock
vile to Viers Mill Village is now

TALLY open to traffic.
Today's contract originally
called for dualizing the old Sec
ton of old Bladensburg road
from Viers Mill road to its inter-
section with Georgia avenue.
However, this was eliminated
because the prices being asked
for rights-of-way was excessive,
the commission said.
The portion eliminated would
have completed the dualization
of the triangle at Wheaton
bounded by Viers Mill road.
Georgia avenue and Old Blad-
ensburg road.
r. E. Jones, district highway
engineer. said the commission
reserved the right to put the
section back in the Rea COM

said 1t should not be required to

ployes from holding school board
seats and other local offices.
In another action, Board men,
bers split 80 in favor of re-

motion by Ralph Kaul, who
labelled the bill by Delegate
John F. Boatwright of Bucking-
ham as another punitive meas
ure." His comment was in ref
erence to the Moncure bill which
would abolish the Arlington
School Boards elective status.

bers are Federal employees.
The County Board has voted
g to 2 in favor of the Moncure
measure. with the split on con-
Servative-liberal lines.

members IN yesterdays unan-
Iimous vote, commented that
