stand-but members Of oriental
communities sat there blank faced
and patient. not even guessing
what il was all about.
They showed off their handi-
craft products which were duly
admired and envied by the vari-
Gus delegates. A crystal radio set,
so small it can be carried in a
coat pocket, which picks up the
local radio stations and was pro-
duced by 7S-year-old Philip Fem
of Nathanya, was one piece de
resistance. Another was a richly
embroidered Yemenite garment
which eight 80-year-old Yemenite
women had done together. The
exhibition was highly useful,
since it inspired the delegates and
they returned to their homes with
new ideas and said they would try
and put members of their COM
munities now to different work,
thus widening the range of their
products.
II was a highly successful get
together. The old folks felt i'm
portant. particularly since they
got proof that the Malben officials
took a deep interest in their hap
piness and took note of their sug-
gestions. Charles Passman. the

Mrs. Schweinhaut believes the

A proposed shopping center on
Rockville Pike in the Hungerford
Towne subdivision brought a
number of indignant residents of
that area to Tuesdays mayor

Definitely against any such
center on their doorstep, the
Hungerford people came armed
with petitions signed by 142 of
the 'towne's' 1872 families and led
by the president of the civic as.
ISOLATION, Francis Brown.
But before the night was out,
both the residents and the mayor
and council had become so en-
tangled in legal technicalities
that it is now very uncertain
whether their protest will avail.
In the first place, the city at
torney ruled that the public
hearing held on July "a and at
which only one Hungerford resi-
dent, Donald Lantz of BOG E. JEFF
ferson Street, appeared, had been
closed and no more evidence
could be received.
The mayor and council were
therefore forced to make a de.

In his letter, however, DR.. Pra-
Their authorized the WSSC to re-
ceive Acc sewage at the Gath

Branch until the Rock, Creek line
is completed. The trunk sewer
will carry all sewage from the

Muddy Branch plant was operat-
ing at capacity.
Extra Expense Cited
WSSC chief engineer Harry B
Shaw told the commissioners
Tuesday that to complete the $12
million trunk line in time for the
Acc opening would necessitate
an expenditure of 100000 one
year earlier than expected and
the expenditure of 100000 two
years earlier than expected.
Mr.. Shaw said the line could be
completed two years ahead of
schedule providing the neces-
sary rights-of-way can be secured
promptly and the project gotten
under way at once"
The commissioners voted unani
mously in favor of expedlting the
project If financing can be ar.
ranged.
The WSSC hopes its query to
the health department will bring
a recommendation from DR.. Pra-
Their to the United States Surgeon
General that the trunk sewer
project be granted part of the IS
billion ten.year pollution control
fund recently set up by Congress.
Maryland's share this year is

from this source Federal funds)
as all the projects submitted are
worthy of consideration for pollu-
ton abatement grants" The
WSSC has already asked Federal
aid for four major sewer projects
and a number of smaller lines.

Principals
To Get Four
Percent Raise

The Montgomery County
School Board this week became
impatient with a six week delay
on a ruling from the state attor-
ney generals office on whether
the board Is legally required to
follow the county councils bud
get recommendations, and voted
to follow the county's instructions
and give four percent immedi-
ate raise to the $50 principals
and vice-principals in the school
system.
At the same time, the board
voted to return to the council
with figures to prove so-called
inequities resulting from giving
principals and supervisors four
percent increases while raising
teachers six percent, and ask the
council to remedy the situation"
with additional funds.
Eric Rhodes, executive secre-
tary of the Montgomery County
Education Association, told the
board at it's Monday night meet
ing that this situation is zone of
the most explosive issues from
the morale standpoint ever Great
ed" School people with the more
responsible jobs, he said, felt they
are getting treatment they don't
deserve.
The teachers associations rep
reSentative also said that the new
increases broke the administra-
tons salary scale wide open" and
that he is sure that the council
didn't realize what they were do
ing when they tempered with this
scale" The amount necessary to
give the principals another two
per cent raise is between $4,000
