Yule Bureau
Operation
Is Cut Back

The worthwhile activities of
the Montgomery Health and
Welfare Councils Christmas
Bureau won't reach as many
people as it did last year, but
those it does reach with toys,
canned food and purchase
orders, will find it just as
spirited.
The reason it won't be able
to help as many low income
families this year is because the
Council was unable to find an
adequate place in which to sort
out the numerous gifts and dis
tribute them in time for the
holidays.
This year the Christmas
Bureau will have six smaller
centers throughout the county,
with a seventh in Damascus if
plans for that location materi-
aiiZe.
The Bureau was organized
about Is years ago in an effort
to consolidate all the Christmas
gil ing done by numerous coun.
ty organizations so that each
needy family here would be
helped in having a brighter holi-
day.
Last Christmas $50 families
representing more than 5000
persons had a happier holiday
because of the Bureau.
Located in Bethesda, the GEN.
ter was stated by more than
700 volunteers who sorted out
the canned goods and toys in
order to facilitate distribution.
This year seven smaller CEN
tiers will distribute the gifts, but
due to the limited size of each
operation, the Bureau has felt
it necessary to put further re-
strictions on those eligible to
receive packages.
All families who receive help
this year must be known to
health and welfare workers, and
unlike last year, persons who
feel they are eligible will not be
able to be interviewed by agency
staff members.
Rita E. Beuchert, regional d.
rector of the Health and Wei
fare Council In Silver Spring,
noted disappointment that their
program this year will not be
able to reach as many people.
But she added, the six or pos
sibly seven centers will make it
easier for families to pick up
their Christmas gifts.
The six locations are in Cabin
John, Rockville, Kensington,
Sendy Spring, Gaithersburg and
Silver Spring.
The Bureau receives most of
its donations through numerous
church and civic and youth
groups located throughout the
county.
It does enlist the aid of indi-
viduals to donate either canned
goods, new toys or money, and
those who wish to participate in
this years program are invited
to call the Bureau at JU. 5-7145
in order to find out the nearest
location where they can bring
their gifts.

ACC Asks
Probe Into
Hopkins Role

Allied Civic Group men,
berS approved a motion Mon
day night which urges a spe-
cial grand jury as well as
the County Council to in
vestigate current conflict of
interest criticisms against a
Board of Zoning Appeals
member.
They also asked Council to re-
new conflict of interest study
of November, 1859 in order to
ascertain whether it is possible
to reduce the incidence of con-
flict of interests in the county.
Robert Redding of the
Groups Legislation Committee
reporting to members on this
current problem, referred to a
recent Montgomery County
Civic Federation resolution
which asked County Council and
the Board to prohibit it's mem
bers from appearing in rezoning
matters as expert witnesses.
Page F. Hopkins, a leading
surveyor in Silver Spring, was
named in the original draft, but
Federation members voted to
delete his name from the final
resolution which was approved.
In other matters, ACC mem
bers unanimously approved the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commissions proposed budget
for 1864 and Jan. to June 80,
1865.
Stephen Hotsko, chairman of
the Public Health and Santa
ton Committee, told members
that this was the first time the
Commissions operating budget
shows the organization is op-
Grating in the black.
He noted that even though 1t
represents an So million in.
crease, water and sewer rates
in this area have not risen ap.
preciably.
He asked members to take a
look at the rising costs of other
utilities and noted that water
and sewer rates in the Chicago
area have risen IT'S per cent
since 1851.
ACC members also approved
a resolution strongly urging the
1854 General Assembly to enact
Legislation establishing a sound,
long.range highway policy for
this state.
They asked that 1t include,
but not be limited to, the CLASH
fication of systems on a state
wide basis, the financing of
present and future highway
plant deficiencies and the distri-
button of highway revenue to
highway systems, as provided
in the classification plan.
Copies of the resolution will
be sent to Gov. Tawes, Sen. VIII
liam James, chairman of the
State Roads Commission, mem
bers of the Montgomery Coun-
ty delegation, the chairman Of
the House Ways and Means
Committee and to the chairman
of the State Finance Committee.
Members also approved a
Zoning Committee recommen-
dalton to support a Wheaton
Forest Civic Groups decision to
recommend denial of rezoning
from R.60 to CO at 1900 Univer-
sity Boulevard.
Members were told the pro-
posed new zone violates the
Master Plan for the area which
called for the area to serve as
a public parking area, providing
buffer zone between business
on the west and Wheaton Forest
on the east.
