has been widely exploited by faddlsts, al
though its use has also been endorsed by
few more reputable sources. Consensus Of
competent observers is that it is of little
significance in the human diet or as thera-
peutic agent.
But this question goes deeper than vita
min E. This patient should not be treating
herself; she should be taking her advice from
her doctor. No prescribing should be done
by mail, and no honest doctor does it.
q. My boy is seven, and he still has aU
his baby teeth. What shall do?
a. In this instance the combined services
of a dentist and physician are called for,
since late dentition may be associated with
other evidences of slow development. If
there are other signs, medical treatment may
be employed - usually, at this age, with
success. But all parents should remember
that children vary in their rate Of growth.
They should resist the temptation to compare
their child with the neighbor's, and remem-
Der that slow development, within limits, is
quite different from genuine case of re.
tardation.
q. Wh0s will q raw eee every morning do
for a woman Of IS?
a. 1t will supply her with about II calories,
some high-grade protein, some fat, calcium,
iron, phosphorus and some vitamins A, B, d
and E. and it will do nothing more. Like
honey, yoghurt and nuts, eggs - even raw
eggs - are good for you in reasonable
amounts, but no food has magical powers.

cure for this problem that distresses

A plan to build a 14-acre shop

Council legal authority to ap.
prove master plans after they
are drawn up by planners.
At present, master plans be-
come law when they are adopted
by the planning commission,
and County members may only
express their reaction to them.
The report suggested that the
Council should have the author
ity to reject master plans by a
SO vote.
AS a replacement for the

creation of a Metropolitan Re-

WEIGH said the formal re-

Major Government
Revision Proposed

An Allied Civic Group
Committee this week releas-
ed a 200-page study which
calls for a sweeping over
haul of the Montgomery
County governmental struc-
ture.
The recommendations, drawn
after 18 months of study, are in
addition to several proposals
made in a preliminary report
last June.
Though the Allied Civic
Group has no official standing
insofar as county government
is concerned, it yields a great
deal of power through the 60
to 20 civic organizations which
combine to make up the group.
Virtually every phase Of the
governmental operation gets
special attention in the report.
The report of the Government
Operations Committee urges:
. Abolition of the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion or withdrawal of the coun-
ty from the agency's sewer and
water jurisdiction.
. An entirely new approach
to coming, with curtailment of
the authority of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
. Non-partisan elections for
members of the County Council.
. A two-year moratorium on
the annexation of adjoining land
by incorporated towns.
. A countrywide fire depart
ment not necessarily paid, but
incorporating all existing vol
unteer departments.
. Abolition of the offices
Of States Attorney and Sher-
IF, or non-partisan elections
for the posts.
. A budget analyst for the
Board of Education, and a "slow-
down" of plans for new junior
college in Rockville.
These changes, along with
those submitted at mid-year,
would completely Revamp the
county's governmental opera
ton.
Among the changes suggested
In June were the election of
county executive in addition to
the present appointed county
manager; abolition of the elect
ed offices of county surveyor,
registrar of wills, and the three
judge Orphans Court, and ap-
pointment, rather than election,
of the Circuit Court clerk.

Roger B. Farquhar, a life
long student Of Montgomery
County history and author of
"Old Homes and History of
Montgomery County, Mary
land" died Sunday at Wash
ington Sanitarium. He was
sc last Thursday.
Funeral services were held
yesterday in Sandy Spring
Friends Meeting and burial in
the cemetery there was private.
Extremely active during his
long life span, Mr.. Farquhar,
until last Friday, was still driv-
ing his own car to visit friends
and relatives and personally de-
liver autographed copies of his
366.page book to purchasers.
The author first published his
volume in 1852. Last year, and
at the beginning of this year, he
revised his work and brought 1t
up to date for a second edition
published in February.
The book contains a short his
tory of Montgomery County
and describes many of its at
fractions. The real meat of the
book is contained in 40 stories
of the county's historic old
homes and the families that liv-
ed in them, some for many gen
erations.
Mr.. Farquhar was an avid
reader Of history and enjoyed
particularly books written by,
or about, the nations states
men since Colonial days. Dan
lei Webster was his great
favOrite.

long and productive life - and
excellent health and spirits-to

ActiUe Historian at 80

(Mass.) Arsenal during World
War I, continued in the steel
business in indianapolis and
West Virginia until 1924 when
he returned to Montgomery
County to become a real estate
broker.
He specialized in farm proper
ties that he knew so well and in
the course of his work listed
many old homes for prospective
buyers, developing historical
data and photographs as he
acquired the hstings.
This led TO more intensive
research on the old homes,
and. eventually, a series Of
newspaper stories about them.
The book grew out of these.
In 1927, Mr.. Farquhar mar
ried his second wife, Emily Jean
Kraft and they purchased one Of
the county's most historic
homes, Cherry Grove" near
Ashton, built in 1773.
They lived there until shortly
before World War III when Mr..
Farquhar, nearing 70, went to
work for the U. S. Maritime
Commission during the war
emergency. He retired in 1915
and intensified his historical
and genealogical research.
