The assumption that political is
sues must be put into short, catchy
and appealing phrases Or slogans in
order to be effective vote getters is
reflection on the intelligence sOf
the American voter. Nonetheless, that
seems to be the idea of the average
run politician. And so it is done.
That the slogan is rather short
of any real meaning, difficult to ex-
plain and fails utterly to show the
means extended for getting there,
seems to be of less Importance. Just
so the slogan is catchy and does not
offend, the substance of it does not
matter so much. Peace (who would
oppose that, Prosperity nobody
would be offended by a chicken Or
two in every pot), Motherhood, Good
Weather and God all make good slo-
gans, or at least they are presumed
to be.
THE REPUBLICANS
So far, only the Republicans have
shown clear indications of what their
slogans will be. Likely they will in
clude Peace, Prosperity, Don't get
rude with sick man, and, Don't say
anything or do anything to indicate
any lack of unity in the admins
tration's apparent plan to: 1. Scare
hell out of any nation that is not
intellectually on our side; 2. Or, to
put it more delicately by clothing the
same meaning in different words,
keep international problems out of
politics; don't let the rest of the
world know but that we are all in
agreement that our aid is contingent
on the beneficiaries' willingness not
only to approve our ways but to adopt |
them.
THE DEMOCRATS
And what slogans will the Demo-
Gratis employ? Will theirs be any
more meaningful and fundamental?
There is, Of course, no lack of real
ssues. At this point, we are only
if they, the Democrats,
will resort to the same sort Of slogan
making.

Congress has not appropriated any
funds to start the recently authorized
study. President Eisenhower's budget
submitted last month asked for 81
million for the survey-enough to
get it started.
The authorized study has three
goals:
/. To determine the cost Of con-
struction of the proposed project;
2. To determine whether or not
such cost would allow hydroelectric
power to be produced at a price that
is economically feasible;
3. To determine what contribution
such project would make to the ma
tional economy and the national de-

erett Severe, Kensington, presi-
dent of the Montgomery Chapter
of the Maryland Petition Com
mittee, an anti-integration group.
Mr.. Severe called for a protest
meeting at the Poolesville Town
Hall Tuesday night "in order to
get this thing settled"
At 10 am. Mr.. Severe and 30
parents returned to the school
where they met Superintendent
Forbes Norris and Principal Rob-
ert T. Crawford. Mr.. Severe de-
manded a hearing before the
school board at next Tuesdays
all-day board session.
Moving inside the school audit
orium, with Superintendent of
Police James S. McAuliffe and
10 of his men standing by, DR..
Norris received a petition signed
by some 80 families protesting
the integration.
DR.. Norris stressed the fact
that the school board and the
school officials were simply do
ing their duty and following the
law of the land, In answer to the
demand for a hearing with the
school board, he advised the
group to make their request in
writing before Thursday noon.
He said this is he usual procedure
for such request.
The school superintendent was
adamant in his stand that the
gradual integration of Poolesville
would continue and asked the
parents to consider the effects of
their stand on their children. His
only show of anger came at a
threat to march on Rockville"
Outsiders Cited
Contacted later, DR.. Norris
stated that he felt the disturbance
had been created by people out
side the Poolesville area, and
that he had been assured before
school opened that there would
be no trouble.
In this opinion, he was backed
by Board President Helen Scharf
who said that the situation had
been aided and abetted by out
side agitators. She cited a hand

The WSSC agreed to assume

Retired Blacksmith, y,
Suited Skill to Needs

The automobile baniShed the
horse to the pasture and many
blackSlnithS to retirement or
other professions. But w. G.
Marth, who became an apprentice
blacksmith in 1904 at S. per
month, changed with the times.
AS fewer and fewer horses
were brought in for shoeing, he
devoted more and more of his
time to ornamental iron work,
welding and lawn mower sharp
ening. Recently Mr.. Marth, now
y, retired and turned over his
Marth's Iron Works and Welding
Shop on Commerce Lane in Rock
vile, to a son, Edward.
Though he was quick to fore.
see the new era Che replaced
his hand-pumped forge bellows
with an electric blower in 1920,
Mr.. Marth shod his last horse
as late as 1899.
It's not easy for a man who's
worked with his hands for So
years to suddenly retire. Mr..
Marth visits the shop often and
works when he visits.
Mr.. Marth looks as gray and
hard as the iron he's worked. The
veins bulge high in his muscled
arms and hands. His blue eyes
are bright behind steel-rimmed
glasses; his hair is thick-thatched
gray.
Born in Germantown
Mr.. Marth was born in Germ
antown in 1884. AT the age of 20
he was hired as an apprentice
blacksmith by H. S. Lenhart in
Old Germantown. "In those days
there were few professions for
a young man." explains Mr..
Marth.
The work was hard for a
youngster. In addition to shoe.
ing horses and mules, the boy
helped repair farm implements,
wagons, and buggies.
During the winter nights the
youth and his employer toiled
by oil lamp and lantern making
horseshoes for the next days
customers.

said the land costs may be lower.
Mr.. Wheeler said the money
was available in the business dis

The attorney displayed a 1913
Maryland-National Capitol Park
and Planning Commission map
proposing an extension to 10Th
Street to Georgia Avenue via An
son Street and to Mckinney Hills
via Columbia Boulevard ex-
tended.
Under the plan Anson Street
would join Spring Street, now be-
ing improved, to form one arc of
a bypass for the Georgia Ave
nue-Colesville Road intersection.
Later phases of the plan pro-
vide for other bypass streets.
The Board of Trade would like
Anson Street widened to two di-
vided 34' lanes, Mr.. Wheeler told
the Council. The SRC has pro-
posed only AZ single lane, he
said.
Shoppers will be driven away
from Silver Spring unless traffic
is "loosened up" Mr.. Wheeler
warned the Council. He labeled
the Georgia -Colesville intersec-
ton the busiest in the State and
told the Council it was handling
the maximum traffic load.
The intersection will get even
buster as Rt. % is improved and

when new developments spring
up along Colesville Road, he said.
Mr.. Wheeler said he also hoped
Western Avenue will soon be ex-
tended SO shoppers from the Be
thesda-Chevy Chase area can get
to Silver Spring and Silver
Spring shoppers can get to the
Bethesda Chevy Chase district.
Montgomery County sentinel., 1956-09-06

In the hot summers buggies
and wagons would line up in
front of the shop waiting to have
their steel tires tightened.
After a few years, when he had
learned his trade, Mr.. Marth
took over the blacksmith shop
at Germantown Depot upon the
insistence of P. E. Waters, who
ran the livery stable there.
Married i'm 1910
In 1910 Mr.. Marth married his
wife, the former Ada Carter of
Germantown. She died this April.
By 1916 the automobile was
cutting deep into the blacksmith
business. Like many in his pro
fession, Mr.. Marth went to work
at an auto garage.
II didn't much care for the gar
age" admits Mr.. Marth.
In 1917 he took a job in the
Rockville blacksmith-metal work
ing shop of S. B. Haney. Two
years later when Mr.. Haney's
health failed, Mr.. Marth took over
the business.
Mr. Marth operated the shop
until he retired this year.
Work Changed
The demand for his services
has changed gradually over the
81 years he's been in Rockville.
AS horse shoeing died out, wagon
and implement repairs picked up.
AS more and more mechanical
farm equipment was used he was
called on to build truck bodies
and trailers.
AS the character of Montgom-
cry County changed from agri.
cultural to residential, Mr.. Marth
began to specialize in ornamental
iron work. Lately lawn mower
sharpening and bicycle repairs
have taken much of his time.
Now that he is retired, Mr..
Marth need no longer keep up
with a changing county. He can
observe. Eyeing the changes TAX
ing place in his native German
town because of the new Atomic
Energy Commission building, Mr..
Marth comments dryly, "People
are going haywire.

One final point raised by the
council was that nearly half mil
lion of the bond issue of $2.6 mil.
lion would be needed no matter
what water supply was used.
More storage facilities and a com
plete overhaul of the city's distri.
button system is going to be nee
essary in any event.

Mrs. Joseph c. Manian also told
the Council she is against the

Manian said there is more than

The only excessive demand for
parking spaces is on Saturday
afternoons, she said.
The parking lot will be the

mail. 1t had been distributed at
an up-county gathering and was
sponsored by the Maryland Peti-
ton group.
This handbill called for a meet
ing on, August 9 at the Bealls-
vile Fire Department for all
people who wanted to learn how
to defeat integration and keep
segregation. The handbill prom.
ised successful methods for com
batting integration would be dis
closed at the meeting.
AS to the request for hearing,
Mrs. Scharf said that if the form
al requirements were met before
Thursday noon, she would poll
the board members as to whether
they wished to hold such a hear
ing and when.
Mrs. Scharf said that she would
want to know the specific reason
for the hearing. If the delegation
was just generally opposed to
integration she felt sure there
would be little purpose in grant
ing the request as the school
board has already agreed on it's
policy. In cases of specific hard
ship, the school staff has already
been instructed to make adjust
ments where possible but she
didn't see how any of the people
complaining could have specific
grounds since their children had
not attended the integrated
school.
153 at Meeting
Parents of 153 of the Poolesville
white children attended the pro-
test mass meeting at the Town
Hall Tuesday night. A committee
of II was appointed to continue
the fight for the public hearing
and another meeting was called
for last night at the Leonard
Allnut farm on Route 1O7 in
Poolesville.
A good deal of the indignation
expressed was against members
of the school staff and police
force who live in the Poolesville
area. Principal Crawford feels
that the members of his staff
"are only doing their job and
doing it well'' and that this is the
only reason for the criticism.
Members of the anti-integra-
ton group object strongly to
having any members identified.
They feel there are no leaders
in the group but simply number
of like-minded people arguing for
a principle and for the right to
know what is best in their own
community.
Yesterday school attendance
rose sharply and there were no
parents present to carry on the
preceding days demonstration.
Mr.. Crawford reported that 1877
elementary students and 179 Sec
ondary students were present and
again all ID Negro pupils ap-
peared. He said that even on the
first day there had been no
