the shelters to be erected in Ell
wood Smith Park in Hungerford
ToWne.
The Mayor and Council rejected
all bids and plan to readvertise
at a later date. However, they
were not willing to go back to
the conventional "shack" design
of roof, four posts and concrete
base.
The unattractiveness of these
"shacks" now in some of the
city Fairgrounds invites vandal-
ism, council members feel. They
asked the staff to come up with
other possibilities such as pre-
fabrication for the "bat-wing" as
designed by architect John l..
Sullivan.

could enable Silver Spring police
to split their coverage of that por-
ton of the county. The depart
ment could, he said, assign the
territory south from Plyers Mill
Road to the Silver Spring station
and the territory north of there
to the Glenmont station.
Decision to buy the tract came
after public hearing at which
no asserting or dissenting views
were heard.
The Council voted to abandon
public hearing on a combined
county service building and
police station in Bethesda, SEIZED

cording to Reese, the tentative

and other organizations, individ-
uals or agencies will follow the
commissions lead.
The Sentinel launched the cam
paign June II with publication of
road signs along the thorough
fare which bear conflicting spell
ings some spelled V-I-E-R-S, and
others spelled V-E-I-R-S.
Subsequent stories told how the
telephone company is forced to
use both spellings in its direc-
tories, and members of the still
very-much-extant Veirs family
are forced to use both spellings
for business purposes.
Support of the effort came
from the Rockville Chamber of
Commerce, the Twinbrook Citi-
Zens Association, the West Mont
gomery County Citizens Associa-
ton, the Montgomery County
Historical Society, and Albert M.
Bouic, prominent county lawyer
who is a direct descendent of
Samuel c. Veirs, after whom the
road was named.
Samuel c. Veirs, about 100
years ago operated mill on a
site where Veirs Mill Road now
crosses Rock Creek.

In Wheaton
New Police
Station Site
Is Approved

The County Council Tues
day voted to buy a three-acre
tract next to the Kensington
Fire Station on the Glenmont-
ColeSville Road to build
another police station.
County Manager Reese told the
Council that he had a firm COM
mitment to sell from the owner
of the land, but that no contracts
have been discussed.
He said the land was valued at
about 20 cents square foot. This
works out to be close to $4,000.
The decision to buy the land
came despite recommendations
by the Montgomery County Plan
ming Board that the Council study
three other sites. Reese told the
Council that the other sites would
not prove as acceptable.
Arthur K. Stellhorn, of the
Observation-Disclosures Capital Park
and Planning Commission, last
week informed the Commission
that it might be better to build
the police station closer to the
heart of the Wheaton business
district. The Wheaton Chamber
of Commerce takes the same posi-
ton.
Reese, however, said that such
a location probably would be
more expensive and that in any
event, it would not be any better
so far as police work is con
cerned.
He told the Council that the

basis.
Going up through channels,
the request for matching

level because Of the lack of

In the meantime, the Mayor
and Council, despairing of get
ting a favorable answer, included
S3315 in its 1889 budget for
salary and maintenance costs
This sum will keep the wells ready
for use in the coming year.

tor. He intends to send the re.
quest for funds back through
channels again in another six
months.
Until then Rockville will act
the part of the boy with his
thumb in the dixie.
City officials emphasize that
they can routinely get everything
they want from Civil Defense in
the way of supplies ranging from
blankets and boots to saws and
ropes. But the safe water sugges.
ton has thrown CD planners and
administrators for a loss.

TB Tests
Due for
Teachers

Next year all $500 Montgomery
County teachers and other school
personnel will be getting tuber-
culin skin tests along with the
county's kindergarten, eighth and
twelfth graders.
Any school employee with a
positive reaction to the test will
be required to get a chest x-ray
or doctors examination.
A chest x-ray has been asked
of school personnel for the past
five years but there has been no
check-up to see that the require
ment was. met.
Now March l is the deadline
in every school year for all en-
ployees to submit evidence of
either skin test, x-ray or physical
examinations.
Until the law was repealed five
years ago, a physical examina-
ton was necessary to qualify for
the retirement plan. This was re-
placed by the requirement of a
chest x-ray.
Last years scare over possible
radiation through x-ray turned up
the fact that an obsolete law re-
quiring teachers to prove they
had no communicable disease
might still be in effect.
The new methods adopted by
the school board this week were
substituted for the outmoded
communicable disease require
ment.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

THE VOICE starts it's goth year o1
publication with this issue, and let me
be the first to admit don't know
how it has lived so long.
In fact to me it is sort of like ou1
kids all of a sudden they are
grown and you don't just remember
how they got so old so fast.
So it is with the VOICE. We live
month to month, and in these infla-
tionary times each month it becomes
a little more difficult.
In spite of all the tolls and troubles
it is tribute to freedom of the press
that we can announce the beginning
of the Goth year.
And as new year of publication
begins we always wonder if there
will be another one. If the old machin-
cry will hold up, if the subscription
list will grow to meet the demands
for more income, if the supporters of
the publication will be interested
enough to see that the payroll is met.
l am always telling these things to
liberal groups around the state
about the need for more support. I
tell them that one of these days will
be the one of reckoning.
We were building the business of
the plant with more and more sup
port from the local co-operatives,
labor, farmers and Independents and
the day when the bust
ness might support itself, and maybe
even allow for some new machinery,
when one day we found the regional
co-operatives had purchased their own
printing equipment and had drastical- |
ly curtailed their orders with US.
We have never recovered from this |
blow to our economic solar plexus.
We still receive an ad each month
from the two regional co-operatives
Tor which we are grateful. but this
sn't, nor could it be intended to re-
place the several thousands of dol
ars the printing meant to the plant.
The REA co-operatives do nothing
or the publication.
Labor has increased it's support
or the VOICE perhaps in a larger
proportion than any other group in
he last few years.
Individual, Independent farmers,
7ho have been the backbone of the
ublication for so many years still
o a great deal to support it.

lust be answered is whether the peo- I
lie of Montana want an Independent

Hospital Care

During the last 20 years the pro-
portion of the American population
admitted to hospitals has more than
doubled. But the average length of
stay per person has declined by almost
half-from Ali days per person in
1885 to 22.4 days in 1856.

ton and consolidation should be af-
fected. This includes substantial con-
solidation of such offices as county
clerks and recorders, treasurers, etc.,
which can result in lower overhead
to many counties.
2. Cities and counties "could prof
itably study the more efficient man.
agement systems and put the one best
fitted to their needs into use.
3. Wherever possible, duplication
and overlapping should be isolated
and eliminated, in state as we'll as
local governmental units.
a. "All revenue whether earmarked
or general fund, should be expended
only after itemized line appropriation
by the legislature
5. A concerted effort should be
made to reduce Unauthorized per-
sonal use" of cars owned by govern
mental divisions. Painting state cars
yellow is expensive and does not
achieve the desired results. GAS rapid
ly as possible, series of car pools
for all state-owned vehicles should be
established at major centers of State
operation" with these
cars being checked out by employees
for State business only.
6. A uniform personnel code should
be drafted by the. legislature eff any
long term efficiency is to be achieved"
in personnel relations.
REVENUES
Noting that the State and its many
receives non-tax reve-
1ues from lands and investments"
he commission recommends:
"a. A complete review of the pres
'nt use or non-use of any surplus or
funds of the various
should make these funds
"b. State and school land rentals
or agricultural or mineral purposes
hould be brought up to current COM I
nercial levels and no use of these ;
ands except that specified should be ]
ermitted. t
&c. Sealed bidding may increase
evenue from oil and gas leasing. v
