In answer to the problem of
getting an infant to put on
shoes without curling his toes
under: A shoe salesman in Los
Angeles told me to grip the
chlld's leg just under the knee.
which releases the foot muscles
thus he can be easily shod
with the left hand while your
right holds the leg.
Row that my fourth is on
the way, I would like to state
that this method has worked
very well on three determined
children who don't particularly
like shoes. 1t used to be an
hours occupation to shoe the
first boy before I was told
of this simple method.

The Maryland attorney gen.
erals office has ruled that there
is no constitutional prohibition
against staggered terms on Mont
gomery County's elected school
board.
AS a result. a bill will be in
PRODUCED in the 1857 Legislature
to provide for staggered terms
Blair Lee III, Montgomery Coun-
sty legislative delegation chair
man. said today.
1t had been generally thought
that the only way Montgomery
County could put its school
board members on a staggered
term basis would be by amending
the State constitution, a cumber-
some process requiring approval
in a Statewide referendum.
The board and the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation
{ had asked the Montgomery law
makers to introduce bill in the
coming session proposing such
an amendment. However. Charles
w. Prettyman. board counsel
had told the board he felt the
change could be made by a
simple amendment to existing
law without changing the con-
stitution.
Not County Officer
Mr.. Lee decided to put the
question UP to the attorney gen.
erals office.
He said today he had received
an opinion written by Alexander
, Harvey II, assistant attorney
general, which states that school,
board members are not county
officers" within the meaning Of
the constitution.
Therefore. a bill providing fol-
staggered terms would not bt
prohibited by provisions of Ar

1t was this section of the con.
Istitution that had been held al
prohibiting staggered terms when
the law providing for Mont
Igomery's unique elected school
board was passed in 1851 and
approved in a referendum the
following year.
Assures Continuity
All other Maryland counties
have school boards appointed by
the Governor. Members serve
for six-year terms on a staggered
basis.
The Montgomery law provides
for all seven school board men,
bers to be elected on a nom
partisan basis every four years,
starting in 1854. Thirteen can
ldidates ran for the seven seats
in that first election Of the full
board two years ago.
! Proponents of staggered terms
argue that it would be less con-
fusing for the voters to have
fewer board seats to fill and 1t
would provide for a continuity
that is not assured under the
existing system.
