Should the County Council or
the Board of Education have the
responsibility for the construction
of a new School Administration
building?
This surprise question was
tossed into a joint meeting of
the School Board and the County
Council by County Manager M
l.. Reese last Wednesday night.
The meeting was held to give
the School Board and Superin-
tendent c. Taylor Whittier a
chance to justify items cut from
the school operating and capital
budgets by Reese.
A site purchase and planning
item of $15O,O00 for the admin
istration building was dropped
by Reese in his budget recon-
mendations.
The manager justified his ac-
ton by pointing out that $4,000
for preliminary plans appropri-
ated last year brought no results.

interested in school curriculum.
Mrs. Werner said that she
sensed IAN intangible unrest
among the people about what
their children were learning IN
school"
However she and the other
Council members were afraid
that any local study would dup
licate the work of the newly or
ganized State committee also
working on school curriculums.
Although Whittier que d
strongly that this wouldn't hap
pen, he agreed to try to find out
the State Committees plans be-
fore the budget deadline on April
Is.
One final request, outside the
budget, was made by the School
Board. They sought to speed con-
struction where relief for over
crowding was necessary by using
the site and planning revolving
fund for additions TO schools be-
fore the July l appropriation.
A quick solution to everyone's
satisfaction was offered by Reese
He suggested that specific prof
ects with specific sums of money
be requested from the Council
rather than blanket permission

concern affected. Lawrey feels
this is better done by the asso-
citation than the individual.
Twinbrook seemed to take the
brunt of the recent snow storm
for the Rockville area. Left in
near total darkness for the
better part of two days most
Twinbrookers stuck it out aided
by candles, fireplaces and gas
stoves.
Although a few evacuated the
area others took in guests from
all-electric homes.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Lord
were hosts to the Leonard Nc.
Clements and their two children,
Randy, IS months, and Judy, five
months, from Wheaton. The
McClements left an all-electric
house with no fireplace seeking
remnants of warmth at the Lord
home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Drake
felt particularly harrassed when
all lights went on in their neigh
borhood except for theirs. After
a few hours of fretting they
rugged up an extension cord from
the neighbours house, only to
have electric service immediate
ly resume in their own home.
Mrs. Leonard Stone with her

and Montgomery Counties. After
a stint as plumber, he went to
teach school in Burroughville, Va,
in 1908. Four years later he came
back to Sandy Spring where he
bought the Sherwood Roller Mills
from Frank j. Downey.
A year later he married Olivia
Clagett Lindsay, of Virginia, who
died in 1928.
He was extremely active in st.
Johns Episcopal Church, Olney,
holding every lay office the
church could offer. He was a dele
gate to the Northern Convocation
IL times and delegate to the Do
cesar Convention % times.
He was a member and secre.
tary of the Senior Farmers Club
of Sandy Spring since 1914. In
addition, he was a trustee of the
Sherwood School in Sandy Spring,
director and vice president of the
First National Bank of Sandy
Spring and charter member of
the Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire
Department
He is survived by three chill
dren, Mrs. Richard p. Pue, of
Highland; Thomas F. Lansdale,
of Sandy Spring, and Richard H.
Lansdale, of the District. A
brother, Col. John Lansdale, of
Anne Arundel County, and two

Funeral services were held Fri
day at st. Johns with burial in
the church cemetery. Among hon

Although Lawrey claims Tea

Every week the mail brings
brochures offering 10 and IL
per cent interest on savings,
and plaintive letters asking
if the brochures are honest.

vice is needed, If for no other

Few Get Jobs
Cd Jobs. 1 know very few
retired people who get jobs.
Unless the company knows of
Jobs, it should frankly tell
the employees the facts, to
avert their futile hoping.
(8) But retired people need
something to do. The mail is
heavy with queries about
ways to escape loneliness
and idleness. The company
perhaps should tap the vast
volume of booklets the
United States Department of
Commerce has on jobs and
businesses that can be car
ried on at home. and on small
private businesses.
(9) This is a touchy one
and these points are not given
in their order Of Importance.
When a man retireS and goes
home to stay "a hours a day,
he goes home to a wife who
does not retire. There are
some moral issues involved
here. which the company
won't want to discuss. But
there is a practical issue it
can discuss. In retirement, a
mans finest companion-and
possibly the only companion
he can have-is his wife. The
only way he can get her as a
companion is to help her
finish her chores.
(10) A retiring employe can
be advised best in person, in
private. The type known as
a mans man should do the
advising. A fuddy- -duddy just
won't do.

can answer except the per-
sons own social security of

needed. but tackled onto it
some specific information on
how an employe can find his

welfare and happiness. They
each have a right to fulfill
their obligations in an indi-
vidual way.

about their private battle,
