More Delay Seen
In Fingerprinting

Fingerprintng of Montgomery County's school
system personnel, scheduled to get underway Feb:
ruary l. is still project for the future.
School officials blame the failure to begin work
on tlngerprntng the county's than 5000 school
employees on the loss of machine to be used in pro-
uding those employees with identification cards.
Approval of fngerprinting was made by the
Board of Education in December following arrest and
conviction of a West Rockville Junior High School
teacher for assaulting 15-year-old student
Board members said then the purpose of finger
printing system employees to seek out and disclose
persons with criminal records
According to one Montgomery County police Off
cial, the fingerprntng job could have been done in
matter of weeks by two members of the police de-
parment and the departments portable fingerprnting

Police would have been willing to do the work.

There was no request by school officials
Instead, an elaborate system of fingerprinting

he feels that whether the
budget is to be cut is based on
which party stands to benefit.
Because the county govern
ment is now controlled by the
Democratic Party, l predict
that the ammunition will be
used by the Democratic candi-
dates" he said.
''The S18 million tax rise,
engineered quietly by the
Democrats, will now be slash
ed, with much fanfare, by the
same Democrats.
"The taxpayer has been stun.
ned by suggested radical tax
raises, but will be reprieved by
magnanimous slashes by his
Council presently in office"
Under present proposals,
wilson pointed out, the budget
increase is about 20 per cent
taxes will increase from $2.53
per 500 property assessment
to $3.07 Cup 21.3 per cent?;
county activity will increase
from $20.1 million to 5000 mil.
hon (up 50 per cent?; school
operations will increase from
$43.7 million to $5O.9 million
tup 16 per cent?; county build
ing will increase from SIS mil
hon to $10.4 million Cup SO per
cent?; and reduction of the
school bond debt will increase
from $5.4 million to sos mil
lion Cup "a per cent?.
Real estate taxes of those
Montgomery County citizens
owning a $4,000 home will
rise $54, a $4,000 home will
rise $108, and a $4,000 home
will rise 1852" if the full
budget were approved.
However" DR.. Wilson said,
II predict that our Democrat
County Council will see the
light and judiciously slash the
budget in this election year so
that our citizens-who also are
voters-will have either no tax
raise or a nominal one.
For the first time since as
Stunning office, our County
Council will realize the plight
Of the taxpayer. And will the
political hay be reaped! Ger
tainly, the Democrats will not
allow such a budget rise to be
ammunition for their Repub-
hcan rivals!
Despite this obvious Demo
cratic Party gift to our voters,
they still must acknowledge
the 800 million increase in
real estate assessments during
the past year, and they must
explain any sudden about-face
in this election year after three
previous years of progressive
ly increased real estate taxes"

No Inky Fingers

While awaiting arrival of the hi-jacked I'D card
laminator, the School Boards hghly-paid officials
have not been idle
DR.. William A. Early, personnel director reports
that his assistant director, Dr. Rufus c. Browning has
held conference after conference" with other agencies
on the best types of ink to use in fingerprinting
Considerable time and effort has also been devoted
by Dr. Browning to determining the best eradcator
for the fngerprinng ink from employees hands after
wards, he added.
The lost equipment, school officials said, IL a
three-station Eliminating machine needed to perma
nently seal I'D cards.
Although the county police department and other
agencies have larninators, they added sealing dies

pictures taken by the school systems camera.
The laminator has been missing since the first
week in February, when it transferred from one
truck to another in Chicago. The machine purchased
for $500 from Harco Industries of Phoenix, Ariz was
carried as far as Chicago by the Denver and Chicago
Express Company, then transferred to trailer Of
the Navajo Trucking Company for the trip to Rock

Harco officials reported March 10 that the Navajo
firm said its trailer had been stolen. They had no
further details.

Wards original catalog h a S
grown from the single-sheet hand
bill sent to mid-western farmers
to a five-pound volume with more
than 1900 pages, many of them in
color. Merchandise ranging from
exclusive fashion creations of the
most well-known designers to ex-
ira rooms for the home are
featured in these m ia u a |
catalogs. Each year, more h n
50,000,000 of these large catalogs
and several special catalogs are
distributed to customers in fifty
states and many foreign countries.
Prices and methods of distribu-
tion have changed since the 1870's,
but the basic tenets of good busi-
ness practice and concern for the
customer as developed by Aaron
Montgomery Ward are still in use
today by the company he founded.
His revolutionary idea paved the
way for the modern methods of
buying goods that we enjoy in
1862.

EorIy Days Recalled AS
Pioneer Company
Celebrates goth
Anniversary

Ninety years ago, renegade In
dians were attacking settlers west
of the Mississippi; Jesse James
was the scourge of banks n d
trains; the first illustrated daily
newspaper in the United States
had yet to be published.
In the summer of that year, 1872,
a young man in Chicago worked to
realize his dream of establishing a
new way to do business, on e
which would eventually provide
millions of people with an easier,
less expensive way to buy goods.
The young man, Aaron Mont
gomery Ward, rented a tiny 4th-
floor room in the city and wrote
a one-page handbill which he sent
to farmers in Iowa and Illinois.
This was the first mail ord r
catalog ever issued and was the
pioneer step toward today's mass
merchandising.
Wards idea for his new business
was revolutionary. He sought to
provide good, quality merchandise
at a fair price by buying direct
from the manufacturer and selling
direct to the customer without an
expensive warehouse or distribu-
tor organization to raise costs.
Ward used the mails to deliver his
goods, an unheard-of technique.
He included in his catalogs the
first absolute guarantee on mer-
chandise. His belief, Satisfaction
Guaranteed or Your Money Back,
was a startling business innova-
ton in the 1905, and helped build
the company he founded.
The early single sheet catalogs
listed as many as 163 items of
merchandise. Wearing apparel and
cloth were the most promin emily
featured items. Flannel, gingham,
linen, poplin and lace were avail
able.

Most prices in the first catalogs
were $780," which would buy 5
boxes of paper collars and pair
of suspenders; or one hoop skirt,
one hustle and one hair braid; or
fine combs, 6 coarse combs, l
hairbrush and papers of English
pins. A stereoscope with six views,
good glass and a walnut frame
was dollar An ostrich plume and
3 punches of fine French flowers
for the style-conscious youn G
lady was a dollar.
General Grant was president in
1872, and the catalog of that year
offers "The correspondence desk,
after the style of General Grants,
imitation 'of rosewood, lock and
key furnished, with paper an d
envelopes" for one dollar.
From the window of his first
small office, Ward saw the maze
of construction in Chicago as the
city rebuilt ON the ruins of the
great fire. The heart of the 34-
year-old city has been destroyed
Today, skyscrapers and modern
commercial buildings of DARN G
architectural design rise on the
shores of Lake Michigan. "A b u
100000 people helped reb bui d
Chicago. Today, more than f u r

Th e growth of Montgomery
Wards business has been equally
dramatic. In 1905, the first mail
order branch outside Chicago was
established in Kansas City. In
1911, "a small distribution center
was opened in Ft. Worth. Other
similar installations followed. In
1926, Montgomery Ward opened
it's first retail store in Marysville,
Kans. Today, the company
operates 529 retail stores, 679
catalOg stores, nine mail order
houses and major distribution cen
ters employing more than $4,000
persons throughout the U i t d
States. In addition to large CEN

Rofs, Mice, Birds
Big Corn Robbers

The boil weevil gets half t h e
cotton, the merchant gets the rest
go the lyrics of an Old southern
folk song. The same thing is hap
pening to Delaware's corn crop,
according to Ed Ralph, Assoc
County Agent. Instead of the boil
weevil it's, rats, mice, and birds
These pests destroy 10 per cent OF
the corn crop after it reaches the
crib not counting the damage
| they cause while it is still in the
field.
The main damage caused by
rats is not SO much the value of
| the grain they eat, but the after
| effects of their attack. They con-
| taminate about 10 times as much
grain as they eat. One rat alone
will shed about a million hairs
void 10000 droppings and gallon
of urine and harbor as many as
10000 lice in one year. They also
damage buildings by gnawing and
are a serious threat to life and
health of poultry and livestock.
Germs are transmitted by t h e i r
bites, their excrets and the bires
of the fleas and lice which they
carry.
When disease breaks out among
| livestock, more than likely rats
and mice and their filth will be
found in the fee, Ralph says.
They spread diseases such as
contagious abortion, distemper, tri-
chinosis, mastitis, and many 9TH
ers. The disease leptospirosis, af-
fects the kidneys of hogs and is
often fatal to young pigs, is some
times transmitted by feeding corn
which has been contaminated with
rat urine.
There are quite few things the
farmer can do to protect his grain,
Ralph reports, especially ow W,
while most of the old crop corn
is out of the crib and before the
new crop goes in. First, corn stor-
age buildings should be rodent
proof This can be done easily and
inexpensively, with just a S m a |
investment in hardware cloth, met
al stripping, and metal door flush
ings. Second, clean up junk and
trash heaps where rodents breed;
and third, kill rats by poisoning,
trapping or gassing. Permanently
enclosed bait stations are excellent
methods of rodent control. Car
should be taken, however, to por-
tect against grain contamination
by these poisons.
