These Are Meetings?

t is apparently tine-honored custom in
Montgomery County by certain public
agencies to hold Social affairs at which the
agency members entertain other government
officials some members of the press and
other persons they want to influence or do
business with.
Quite often, as in the case of recent
dinners sponsored by the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission and the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, the shindigs are held at plush coun-
try clubs in Montgomery County. With. as
many as so or more celebrants enjoying the
fine food and drink and warm hospitality, the
bill can come to several hundred dollars just
for one such event-paid for, of course, out
of public funds.
No doubt, the agency officials involved
can offer some rather convincing arguments
that such affairs are in the public interest.
There is an atmosphere of warm conviviality,.
the officials of different agencies get to know
and respect one another better, there is i'm
proved communication and liaison, ETC., etc.
But thick sirloin steaks manhattans and
martins, and Swank country club surround
ings for our public officials isn't quite what
some OF us had in mind when we Scraped
the bottom of our checking accounts last
year and paid our tax bills which were big
ger than ever before For many of u.s. it
wasn't too easy to pay the tax bill when
it came due. And hardly a week goes by
4 but what we hear new pleas for public funds
and invariably these needs are described as
critical"
Accordingly, it is little difficult to re-
concile this with the picture of public Of
flclalS holding meetings" at country clubs
and running up rather substantial bills. 1t
would seem that just as much - or more -
productive work could be accomplished at
shirt-sleeved, joint meetings between agencies
held during the day in public buildings pro-
vided by the taxpayers for the conduct of
public business
Who knows? 1t might even be possible
for members of different agencies to con-
duct such meetings in an atmosphere of
wholesome respect for each others ability
and conscientious performance of public
duties - at minimal expense to the people
they are supposed to serve.

For Formers
Income Tax
DeadIine Looms

With income tax time just around the corner,
there are three dates which farmers should keep
in mind. January IS is the first date Of impor.
tance. This is the deadline for filing and paying
estimated tax Farmers filing an estimated tax
on this date must file final return by April Is.
An optional method makes it possible to file
final return and pay the tax on or before Feb
ruary Is. Although farmers may report by either
method, the latter is recommended.
There are four forms which most farmers will
file. They are:
Schedule Garm income, expenses and net
farm profit and selfemployment taxi.
Form l040 farm profit as figured on SEIZED.
ule and Schedule d is transferred to this form.

Airport DeadIine
Extended 6 Months

The county has until June 30 TO show the
Civil Aeronautics Administration that it wants
to build an airport
The deadline- previously set at January
WAS extended by Joseph w. Mott, Jr., CAA
engineer who said he will meet with the Mont
gomery County Planning Board within three weeks
to discuss surveys for the airport.
The airport project, tagging from naction for
the past three months, received new life when the
County Council voted funds for survey three
weeks ago.
Mott said that the councils action was "a
step in the right direction, but it's awfully late
for the county to get going"
Mott said that he would have to have definite
proof that the county had selected a site and
was preparing for construction by March /, or
he would recommend the $275y0O0 Federal grant
to help build the airport, be rescnded.
A matching $275 900 would be raised by the
Montgomery County Revenue Authority through
the sale of bonds.
Motifs statement came after he met with the
Montgomery County Airport Committee and mem
bers of the Revenue Authority Wilbur N Baugh
man, chairman of the County Council told Mott
the county couldn't go forward with the project
until the fiveman county planning board had
chosen building SITE
Mott said he would do everything within my
power" to help the planning board set up time
table of planning.
He said he had written letter to Thomas
Leef, member of the Revenue Authority and
chairman of the unofficial Montgomery County
Airport Committee spelling out the steps the coun-
ty would have to take before it could get the
CAA grant.
The first major consideration, he said was
financing. Second, he elaborated was site plan
ming.
If the county fails to qualify for the grant
and Melvin l.. Reese, county manager isn't so sure
it would be good thing-the money probably
would be used to build an airport in Baltimore
county.
Rudolph brennan State Director of Airports,
said that CAA ALLEGATIONS for the fiscal year 1859
have been earmarked for an airport in Prince
Georges county.
The only recourse for Montgomery county
should it fail to get the pending grant would be
to petition Drennans office for funds in its emer
gency, discretionary Golfers.
These funds represent 25 percent of all UNI
used airport ALLEGATIONS that accrue to the state
at the end of each year. The state administers the
CAA grants
Reese said he was somewhat dubious about
taking the federal grant without further investi.
cation of its strings"
He said that the Government would not allow
the county to charge take-off and landing fees at
the airport if it was built with Federal money
Where would we make any money this way?"
Reese asked

System a Relic -
Old Birth, Death
Reporters Dropped

A relic of the "horse and buggy" days was
finally dropped this week by County and State
health authorities.
With the use of the new, efficient multicopy
birth and death registration forms, the old local
registrar who had to ferret out the births and
deaths in the community became extinct.
Out of a job as of yesterday as Montgomery
deputy registrars were Mrs. Della Burdette Da-
mascus; Charles Elgin, Poolesville; Mrs Frances
Potter, Colesville and Silver Spring; Miss Mary
E. Farrely, Bethesda Naval Hospital; Mrs Bessie
Thompson, Bethesda.Chevy Chase; Mrs. Gertrude
Lawlor, Olney; Mrs. Alverde Cooke Laytonsville-
Gaithersburg; ]. w. Dudley and j. Wilson Dodd,
Takoma Park Rockville district was handled by
a health department clerk
Dodd who may have the record in the county
with 20 years service in his job, said that he had
seen the handwriting on the wall" for the past
year. as the forms have been in use in the county
that long.
Beginning yesterday physicians hospitals, fu-
neral directors, and others who formerly sent
certificates of births and deaths to the local regis
trars will forward these documents direct to the
State Health Department in Baltimore.
Dropping the unnecessary step of sending
the forms to the local deputy registrars will save
the county $4,000 year. said Health Officer Dr.
William Peoples who will continue in his job as
the only county registrar.
When they made out the forms, the registrars
were paid go cents EACH With the advent of the
new forms, when all they did was sign them,
they made so cents each.
The new policy will speed up the issuance of
birth notices and make certified copies of death
certificates more quickly available for the collec-
ton of insurance
1t also eliminates the necessity of getting
burial permit from the registrar. Now one of the
death certificate forms signed by the physician
automatically becomes burial permit
Dodd said that until the new system went into
effect last year he was on duty "a hours day
although he only worked small part of that His
night and day duty was necessary to make ''re-
moval after death permits available for the un-
dertakers
In the old days the population was mostly
rural and births and deaths usually occurred at
home. Now approximately 81 percent of the births
in Maryland occur in hospitals and practically all
of the burials are conducted by funeral directors
The Importance of owning documents proving
who you are and where you came from was never
very apparent in those days. Health department
officials say that people then were very casual
about registering births deaths. Hence the need
for registrar in each election district.
The few other services of the deputies such
as issuance of disinterment permits and certificate
forms will be carried out by the county health de.
partment as part of its routine activities.
formal certificate of appreciation has gone
out from the State Health Department to each
deputy registrar in gratitude for their many years
of loyal service for very small Fee"

ested in learning from their

tanned in letters from a sixteen
year old girl and boy.

Interest in American music
is also expressed by the boy

around Pinneberg.
He, too, speaks of finishing
school next Easter" and the
first question in the Rockville
replies will undoubtedly be
How Gomez" However the
Rockville students will cease to
envy their German frie n d S
when they learn that school is
held on Saturday in Pinneberg.
The package also included a
tape of German children sing
ing carols and copies of Pinne-
berg's daily newspaper, Novem-
Der Z issue, which contains a
reprint of the Sentinel cartoon
showing Rockville and Pinne-
berg shaking hands across the
world.
An interesting sidelight on
this came to light in a letter
received at City Hall last week
from Egon MelSter of Cleve-
land, Ohio.
Melster, a new emigrant from
Pinneberg to America, learned
about the Sister City relation
ship from a clipping of the
German papers reprint of the
Sentinel sent back across the
ocean by his mother-in-law.
Thanking the Mayor and
Rockville for choosing Pinne-
berg, Melster comments that
the understanding between the
two peoples will prevent future
wars. Pinneberg people through
this friendship will never again
believe false propaganda about
Americans which Melster feels
is one of the reasons for the
last war.

Rules for Car Pools

Rules for Car Pools
To form a car pool, that is,
an absolutely successful car
pool, you must first move into

liness begins. Then you observe
your neighbors' gardens and
lawns, learn their habits of play
and work and suddenly, one day

town together each morning,
you know, sort of have a car
pool?" Funny how people can
look like flounders-but there
he is, desperately thinking of a
way out. He can't. It's summer.
His battery is up, his tenders
are virgin, his hours correspond
to yours, he works and parks
his car within a block of you.
There's no way out.
why sure, George" he says.
Sort of like a mortician agree
ing to a $50 funeral with all the
services.
Now you've got him.
But he's got you, too.
Because he leers, after coming
out of shock and says, "Say,
there's a couple other fellows at
the office; they live near here
One of ems in Jamestown and
the other in Silver Spring"
Ugh. He's won. One round for
him. why sure, Joe, we can
work something out. Where's

You're desperate. He's taken
, the initiative away from you.
Then you remember. There's a
lady tomato plant grower in
your neighborhood. She doesn't
grow tomatoes, just plants that
she gives away. yeah, Joe,
that's a good idea. If we get
five people altogether we can
really save. Now there's this
lady economist. She's been hint
ing for a ride. Lives just down
the street"
Joe agrees and the little car
pool goes downtown from subur-
bia each day. There's the pipe

the car windows open. He-he's
cold. There's the off-brand
driver. He's never sure (nor are
wei that he'll start each morn

the 1910 Chevrolet driver. His
car, punctured muffler, cracked
block, slashed upholstery and
bald tires chugs in and out each
day, cutting its own swath be-
cause of dented tenders and a
