Detective Chief to Quit
after 20 Years Service

Capt. G. w. Linthicum, head
of Montgomery County's detec'
tive bureau for 10 years, is re.
firing December 1.
Capt. Linthicum started with
the county police department
% years ago, as a uniformed
patrolman. At that time there
were only 81 men on the county
police force, that has now
grown to 295. Of the original
81, only Capt. Linthicum and
Superintendent James S. Nc
Auliffe are still left.
Linthicum worked his way up
through every grade, and while
he was in uniform he served in
every police station in the
county. He says there was
time when he knew nearly
every street.
Although he made his way tc
the top, there was one ambition
he never realized. Before join
ing the force, he had a desire
to be not only a policeman, but
more specifically a uniformed
police sergeant. But he was
transferred to the detective bu'
reau as a corporal, and he never
got to wear a Sergeant's uni
form.
Capt. Linthicum is retiring al
Sc, in good health and compare
lively young, because he wants

Girl Scouts
Play Act
.Safety Bit

Ten ike-riding Girl Scouts,
Troop 929 of Rockville, turned
into actresses Thursday and
performed a safety playlet at
Park Street Elementary School
Their acting urge was started
several weeks ago by Sentinel
story telling of the increase of
bicycle accidents. Since one of
their goals is a cyclists pro
ficiency badge, they decided to
publicize bike safety.
Mrs. Walter A. Scheiber, wife
of the Rockville city manager,
wrote words to some jingles
and made up stage business for
the girls to act out. She was
aided by Mrs. 10 Scott and Mrs
Anna Emond, among other
Girl Scout mothers.
The playlet, called DOS and
Dont's,' was staged before a
school-wide assembly which
also saw Officer Leo Kremer,
school safety coordinator sta
toned at Rockville, show some
color slides illustrating the
theme Of safety.
Particular goal Of the girls l:
to instill the practice of proper
hand signals when riding bikes
In order to gain their pro
ficiency badge, they must learr
all national safety rules anc
local traffic laws pertaining to
bike riding.

which time permanent officers
will be elected and the constitu-
ton submitted for approval.
Original hackers of the asso-
citation were seven Universalist,
Unitarian, and Jewish churches.
The Greenbelt Cooperative sent
two delegates to the meeting,
however, and Mr.. MACPHERSON
has been invited to address the
executive committee of the Co
op Congress.
Mr.. MACPHERSON says that the
association is not intended to
compete with undertakers. But
he said that it costs two or
three times as much to get out
of the world as it does to come
into it, and that a grief-stricken
family should not be subjected
TO pressure for expensive and
unnecessary rituals. ~
Also, he said the association
would watch out for an oppose
passage of laws by pressure
groups to prohibit a simple dis
position Of the body by a fam
lily.
He cited Massachusetts, where
the law requires that even for
cremation, the body must be
embalmed, placed in a casket
to be burned, and then buried
in a cemetery.

between the Kensington Fire
Department and the Wheaton
Rescue Squad.
The fire department has been
complaining that operations of
the rescue squad have been
overlapping and conflicting with
its own. The dispute was eli
NAKED by quarrel at the scene
of an auto accident October 25,
and following this the County
Council asked the fire board to
make the investigation.
Fire boards recommendations
were that the Wheaton Rescue
Squad be required to come I'M
der control of the Central Alarm
System, which governs dispatch
ing of fire and emergency equip
ment throughout the county,
and that it be required to dis
continue use of its direct "emer-
gency" telephone.
Joseph A. Giammatteo, chair.
man of the fire board, explained
that the rescue squad advertises
its phone number, to be called
in emergencies. He said that
people frequently confuse this
number with that of the fire de.
partment, and call the rescue
squad when they want to re-
port a fire.
The fire board further recon-
mended that if the rescue squad
refuses to come under control
of the Central Alarm System,
p e r m i S ion to use the fire
boards radio services should be
withdrawn, and the Federal
Communications so advised.
The report expressed appreci-
alton of the "fine contribution
the Wheaton Rescue Squad has
made to rescue service in Mont.
gomery County" but said
tighter control was necessary
for orderly dispatching of emer.
gency equipment. Giammetteo
pointed out that with two serv.
ices responding to the same
emergency, unknown to each
other, there are risks of serious
accidents.
At the same meeting, the as
ISOLATION voted to support Leslie
b. Thompson, Damascus fire
chief, as candidate for second
