18th Judge
In County
Predicted

Circuit Court Judge John
r. Reeves this week fatty pre-
dicted that the Maryland Cen
eral Assembly next year will
create another judgeship for
the County Circuit Court, and
by 1868, well need still an
other one"
His position was lent strength
by his statement that 500 jury
cases are ready for trial when
the next term of court starts
November 10.
This is almost twice as many
as nave been on the opening day
docket of any previous term of
the court, Judge Reeves said.
The biggest reason so many
cases are ready to go to trial,
Judge Reeves said, is because
Judges Anderson, Lawlor and
he worked steadily through
the summer at backlog of mo.
tons and other preliminary
moves that often precede a case.
Most courts, he pointed out, re-
cess through the summer, and
the cases pile up.
"T'he appointment OF another
judge will hold us for couple
of years" Judge Reeves said.
BY the widely accepted formula
of one judge TO every $4,000 resi-.
dents, he said, Montgomery
County should have about seven
judges. But that's the ideal, Of
course"
Creation Of judgeship can be
accomplished by legislative action
by the Assembly. They create the
position and the Governor makes
an appointment.
Should a new judge be ap.
pointed in 1859, he shouldn't have
TO wait long for new quarters.
The County is almost ready 70
open bids on construction of an
other wing to the courthouse
built in 1889.
New construction would pro
vide four new courtrooms and
quarters for six judges in a r
shaped wing jutting toward the
Rockville Postofficc on South
Washington 1t.

Big Sewer
For New
Area Urged

A sewer system that would
open up the Western and South
ern portions of Rockville for thor
ough development was recon-
mended to the Mayor and Council
Tuesday night by firm of water
systems engineers.
Called the Watts Branch sew
er, the system consists of two
feeder lines running South from
the Westernmost portion of town
to a pumping station between
Rockville and Glen Hills and
thence over a ridge near Falls
rd. to a pickup point on the
Cabin John trunk sewer.
r. w. Simpson, chief sanitation
engineer for Gilbert and Assoc,
estimated that the whole project,
including maintenance, electrical
power to run pumps, and con
struction costs would cost 81 80.
900 over a 40-year period at 4
per cent interest.
He said that if the city APP
proved plans by early next
Spring, the project could be built
within a year from ground-break-
ing.
At the same time, Simpson
warned, This will not constitute
panaeea to all the builders and
developers here tonight, who will
have TO build their own lines to
connect TO the main feeders"
The 81 $40, 900 represented what
Simpson called an ultimate" con.
struction plan, as contrasted with
a plan that could take care Of
normal expansion until 1896. The
latter sewer plan would cost the
city $l,701,0 900, he said.
Simpson told the mayor and
council that the proposed "ulti.
mate" Watts Branch sewer line
would drain a total Of 2975 acres
now proposed as maximum ex
pansion by the city. II also could
serve an additional 1104 acres
which, although outside of the
proposed Western city limits, still
fall within the Watts Branch
drainage area.
lie added that any high.density
coming for the North and West
ern ends Of the city not now fore
seen could change the rated ca
pacity Of the system, in terms OF
/ time.

the city would find ~ way by
gravity TO the pumping station

Take 1t from Ward w. Cadding-
ton, minority clerk of the Board
of Elections Supervisors, who has
been around the elections office
for more years than he cares to
remember and has made it a
hobby to indulge in this kind of
representation.
Usually, he comes mighty
close TO guessing the actual
turnout, basing his "guessti-
mate" of course, on past ex-
perience and knowledge. And
that's his guess for this Gen
eral Election: isl percent.
Back on September d, Cad
ding5on predicted in a seemingly
casual manner that there would
be 10000 registrations when the
books closed on the upcoming
election.
Well, he came pretty close. As
a matter of fact, final figures last
week disclosed the 1883 per-
sons are registered to vote. just
132 shy of Caddington's off
hand" reckoning.
And it's dollars TO dOnuts
that Caddington IAN come
within five percent of the
total number of votes actu.
ally cast next month.
Cdddington brushes off regis
tration guesses with understand.
able difference because he pulled
off really spectacular prediction
in 1850.
That was the year of the ma
tional census. Six months before
the official figures were released,
Caddington said the Montgomery
County census would be little
mora than 10000. The final fig
ures were 164 ,401.
Caddington used his registra.
ton figures of that year as a basis
for his educated guess.

Holton Arms, fashionable
Washington girls school since
the turn of the century, has
taken an option to buy SO
acres of land on River rd. OPP

Miss Mildred Brown, president
of the school, said that although
the Holton Arms board of trus-

week, actual purchase of the
tract hinges on percolation tests
now underway.

Row ! Aired
On School
TV Sets

Montgomery County Board
of Education will undertake
next Monday to unravel the
muddle which has arisen over
their purchase of 78 television
sets for classroom use.
At that time, the board is
scheduled to award a contract for
purchase of the remaining GA
sets of the order.
All 78 originally were intended
to be purchased from Trans
vision, Inc, of New Rochelle,
N. Y, at a price of 1919 each.
When that transaction was chal-
lenged in face of a state law
requiring open bidding on all
purchases in excess of $4,000, the
board two weeks ago called for
open bids.
School officials say that
only Ia of the TRANSMISSION
sets have been delivered, and
that they are under no legal
obligation to take the remain
ing sets from the same firm.
Superintendent c. Taylor Whit
tier said this week that samples
of sets from competing firms are
being delivered for inspection by
board members before next Mon
days meeting.
Two bids have been received
which are lower than Trans
visions price: one of 1925 by
Dowd Radio & Electric Co. of
Washington, and one of 1926 by
Blair's, Inc, of Chevy Chase.
Whittier said TRANSMISSION was
given the original order because
theirs was the only set that met
rigid school specifications. In
any event, he emphasized, no
contract was signed and the sys-
tenn is under no further obliga-
llOn 10 the company.
He pointed out that the total
cost of the IA sets already de.
livered is only $4466 = less than
the legal maximum.
He said further that the board
itself intends to pay only $109 of
the cost of each set = a total of
$1526 for those already delivered
Remainder Of the bill is expected
TO be footed by individuals,
P.TAs and other non-tax sources,
Pending delivery of the other
GA sets, the necessary classrooms
have been equipped with rented
sets.

Correction

Last week the Sentinel reported
that Montgomery County Circuit
Court had adopted a new rule
STIMULATING that only members of
the Maryland bar who live in the
county and maintain offices here
are eligible to practice before the
county court. The new rule actu-
ally allows lawyers who live in
Maryland and maintain offices in
the State to practice here but bal 5
out of State lawyers including
those who live in the District OF
Columbia. The Sentinel regrets
the error.

Ceremony Set
For $3.50 pm. at
Court House

AT some instant tomorrow,
a press of a button eight miles
from Rockville will start Po-
tomac River water flowing
through the city's new $2.6
million water facility, symbol
of the city's growth and needs
on the crest of a population
surge.
That electronic signal will make
obsolete the 30-odd deep wells
from which generations Of Rock
vile residents have drunk.
1t also will mark the end of
water shortages which have
plagued the same generations
during hot summers.
For the first time, parents will
know that their children and those
to follow will get large measure
of protection against dental decay,
thanks to fluoride put in the
water at the new filtration plant.
Suitable ceremonies have
been scheduled at $3.50 to-
morrow night by the Mayor
and Council and the city's
Chamber of Commerce. May
or Greene will dedicate pub
lie drinking fountain and u
memorial plaque on the Court
House lawn opposite the Post
Office.
The Rockville Volunteer Fire
Department will stage a water
display and dignitaries win make
short addresses. A years supply
of water, garden hose, and collaps-
ible swimming pool and refresh
ments will be given away.

Pay Hike
Asked for
Teachers

A plea for a hike of up to
so per cent in the top grades
of teachers pay was submit
ted to the Board of Education
this week by the Montgomery
County Educational Associa-
ton.
Arthur ID. Simonds, DR., ex-
ecutive director of the Asso-
citation, said the request is
mot unrealistic" and is essen
tiaI to attracting and retain
ing top-fIight teachers in the
county.
The plan calls for relatively
small increases for inexperienced
teachers but for increasingly sub
stantial increment boosts for
those who stay on and prove
themselves here.
Simond's schedule was roughly
comparable in the lower pay
grades to plan recently recon-.
mended by pr. c. Taylor Whit.
tier, school superintendent.
But whereas DR.. Whittier's plan
would reach top figure of $1,000
for teachers with ALB. degrees,
the MEGA maximum for the
same category would be $4,000.
The A sociation schedule
ranges from $4,000 beginning pay
to top of 5000 for teachers in
the top pay grade who hold mas.
ter's degree plus 80 additional
hours of graduate credit.
1t seeks $1,000 top pay for
Ph.D's.
Simonds said the Association ia.
vors quite small raises for the
first two years. After that, if a
teacher proves he is the type
we want" his pay jumps would
be much larger.
Present salary trend in the
county, Simonds said, has beer
to concentrate on attracting the
beginning teacher, at the expense
of ignoring experienced, trained
professionals"
Even at that, he added, the
schedule has failed 10 lure
even our propOrtiOnate
share" of each years new
college crop.
AS you well know" he told
the board, Montgomery County
has a population made up of fam
lilies whose incomes, educational
level, and desires for their famil
lies are higher than average.
Il would suggest that our ex
pectation for quality instruction
needs to be geared to these de
mands and our ability to pay
Does this not cease to be a ques

Community High S First
Art Festival Scores a Hit

A smash hit from start to-
finish was the verdict rendered
by very appreciative audience
on Wednesday night, February
%, when the music, art, and
drama departments of Commun-
ity High School, District 218,
combined to present their first
Arts Festival.
From the prelude, when the
school orchestra, under the d.
rection of Richard Anoe, and
appearing publicly for the first
time, played while art students
of Mrs. Bernice Wallace painted
md sketched to the music, until
the stirring finale, with the en-
tire group singing the inspiring
words to Emma Lazarus poem
inscribed on the base OF the
Statue of Liberty, the program
moved speedily and smoothly
along to volley after volley OF
sustained applause.
Woven into the various group
numbers was the theme of the
evening, "Who Is Johnny Stran-
ger?"
This was the musical question
of a newly arrived immigrant,
Johnny Stranger, as to what
made up Uncle Sam. Johnny
landed, in Blue Island to discover
that Uncle Sam was composite
of all the nationalities~ and races
that go to make up this high
school, or any good American
school.
