A superficial answer might
be, "Cut the work week: spread
the number of Jobs" But that
is superficial. Well cut the
work week. but not sufficiently
to crease the problem of job
lessness.
The only fundamental answer
lies in a speedup in our rate OF
growth-and here we cannot
expect that we'll be able to
achieve this simply by turning
out more houses, more cars
more TV, etc. Those answers
were adequate in 1850, but they
aren't for 1860.
In the 1960s we must look
for the Speedup through the
invention of new products, new
industries which will electrify
demand. We must look for
growth in the building of better
and more highways, schools.

in the rehabilitation of cities.

Once we understand clearly
why joblessness is a long-term
problem, the debate on how to
spur growth in many of these
areas can be placed on level

All you need do is look at the

essential to Offset a rise in

On Tux Exemption
Continued from page y

fication for perpetuating the

Secondly, the rate Of growth
of the economy of the Virgin
Islands at the present time is
SO great that it is, in some re-
spects, creating many more
problems in the community
than are being solved by our
present prosperity. T h e S e
problems encompass housing,
immigration, a limited labor
pool, police and traffic, medi-
cal and disqualification pro-
grams, a n d schooling. A
healthy community must keep
its services in balance. a tax
exemption program tends to
throw them out of balance.
Thirdly, Of just as great inn

siderations is the fact that the
present tax exemption and
subsidy program provides for
the refund of Federal income
and corporate taxes. We know
Of the concern which this has
caused in the Nations Capital

Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1960-01-21
By Steed Evans
Staff Reporter

Ever hear of dovhcs, facia boards, in
verified semi and quarter-eliptics or mud
wings?
These expressions and other argot
spice the vocabularies of growing coterie
in Montgomery County, dedicated to re-
storing antique and FOR classic automobiles.
The "dovhcs" bit, incidentally, stands
for dual overhead cam shafts which are
nice little things to have on car, indeed.
They make it go real fast!
A facia board is dash board, the
eliptics are types of springs, and wings
are the name some long-forgotten British
err coined for tenders.
High priest of the clan is lawyer Bar
ney' Welsh, who at one time or another
has owned most of the best cars produced
here and abroad. Right now, for instance,
he alternately climbs aboard his type "57'
Bugatti (French) 16-cylinder Marmon
(U. S., and his 1888 Packard Brunn ca
briolet with II cylinders. This one once
was owned by the president of the Camp
bell Soup Co.
Welsh recently disposed of 1926
Phantom I Rolls Royce. Unlike most old
car nuts, Welsh leaves the painstaking
work of restoring his cars to professionals.
Most of his time is spent keeping people
out of JAIL
On the other hand, the do-it-yourself
group of restorers is ably represented by
Donald Fraley, Case farm equipment deal
er in Laytonsville. Among his gems is a
tomato-soup red Case car, of 1913 vintage.
This doughty auto is four-banger with
20 horsepower and it was purchased origi-
nally by Fraleys uncle, doc" Penn, of
Mt Airy.
The car was bought years ago as an
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1960-01-21

exhibition piece by the Case Co., which
later sold it in Pennsylvania. Fraley
found it, very nearly rusted completely,
and set about restoring it with his son-in-
law, Glenn Darnell.
They had to make new tenders and
door panels as well as rebuild the motor.
The latter, Incidentally, is equipped with
a Case tractor carburetor that fits per-
fectly.
Then there's Bert Kurland, director
of recreation for the city of Rockville.
Bert's in love with hideous looking 1928
Locomobile, one of only two registered
with Classic Car Club of America. Most
people would agree that right now, the
Loco looks like black coffin on wheels.
Not Kurland, though. He's having a top
fitted for it.
Sharing garage with power lawn
mowers, etc., is real grand dame of
car, 1922 Isotta Fraschini owned by Mrs.
Violette Lofstrand, wife of the late Rudy
Lofstrand, of Rockville.
This Italian car was first owned by
star Gloria Swanson and has an array
of intriguing buttons in the rear, which
when pushed by la-SwansOn, informed
the chauffeur by Illuminating signs to
turn left, go faster, stop here, go home,"
etc.
"After my husband spent more than
$1,000 just restoring it, we decided we'd
only work on antiques after that These
classics are too COSTLY" Mrs. Lofstrand
commented recently.
Squatting next to the Isotta is another
Italian car but of different breed: fleet
Alpha Romeo, circa 1882, which is "blown"
(super-charged) and if tuned up, could
probably achieve 135 mph quicker than
you could say Benito Mussolini. This one
