Bride said there are no regu-

that both a physician and anbu-

New Law
On Wells
Adopted

An ordinance for planning
and construction of future
wells in the county was
adopted this week by the
County Council which adds a
new chapter to the 1860
adopted Montgomery Coun-
ty Code.
The addition is the result of
a contaminated wells scare
which swept a Potomac area
community in midsummer. In
effect, the ordinance puts into
immediate effect stringent con-
trolls on planning, location, con-
struction, installation and re-
pair of private and semi-private
wells.
Provisions include require
ment for installation of chlori-
majors or other disinfection
devices on all new, relocated
or reconstructed wells unless
specifically exempted by the
County Health officer; also,
installations of such devices in
existing wells when the County
Health Officer rules them neces-
sary to provide safe drinking
water.
In addition, submission Of
plans and the obtaining Of
wells permits by property
owners are required. Both
owners and those installing
wells are charged with respon-
sibility for compliance with
the new regulations.
Other provisions call for in.
spection and correction of de-
ficiencies in wells construction
before buildings they are to
serve are occupied, or within
10 days after rejection by the

An Editorial
The Compaign Ends

The 1862 general election campaign is almost to the
wire and by Tuesday night the jubant winners and the
sorrowfu losers will have taken their place in county
history.
The Sentinel last week Endorsed the four School Board
nctmbents in their bids for reelection stating that
thought by keeping them in office the public interest
would best be served"
Beyond that we will not go There many able and
honest Republicans and Democrats seeking local and state
offices and believe that regardless Of which candidates
emerge victorious the county and the state will continue
forward. Also happen to believe strongly in
party form of government and that voters are
generally capable of selecting the best for the best
job
We have only one final suggestion Tuesday be
to go to the polls and vote for the candidate party of
your choice.

ings designated as shelters over
the county. The supplies, requi-
sitioned by the local CD office
on the basis of shelter spaces
available, are provided by the
Federal Government.
When the national alert hit
last week, the cOunty's CD
shelter program was far from
ready. But It WIS as close
as anybody else's," Hartwig
said.
BY early this week, CD use
agreements had been signed on
only 25 buildings of 65 found to
be potentially disable in the re-
cent nationwide shelter survey.
The 25 have a capacity of 10000
to 10000. The 65 would have a
capacity of about 10000, Hart
wig said.
But there were serious prob.
lens with the 25 buildings.
None were marked.
Few people knew where they
were.
This lack Of knowledge Of
the location of shelter build.
ings brought floods of tele-
phone calls to Hartwig's Of
flee as the International pO-
litical conflict became more
tense with passing hours.
Hartwig estimated his office
received as many as $50 calls
daily. Before the tension, five
to 10 calls a day was rushing,
he said.
Il couldn't get my hand of
the the telephone all day." one
secretary said.
Hartwig estimated that about
half the calls were for informa
ton on the nearest shelter
About three out of 10 were from
families asking what to do to
prepare.
"The remaining calls were
the most gratifying" Hartwig
said. "They were people call
ing to ask what they could do
to help" he said.
Hartwig refused to say any Of
the callers showed panic. I'D
say it was more a keen inter
est"
Much of the pressure felt here
from the worldwide sabre rat
ting came from parents con
cerned about the county's 81,
900 children in public and pri
vate schools.
Officials at the school sys
TENS headquarters reported nu
merous calls from parents urg
ing immediate closing OF the
schools.
Instead, the schools, assist
ed by Hartwig's staff, P.TA

emergency plans for each
school aimed at preparing for
eventualities. The children
started laying in supplies,
