Identification
Of Library
Is Launched

AZaleas, rhododendrons, haw-
thorne trees, yew bushes, and
pink Towering dogwood trees
are forming the initial planting
sponsored by the Silver Spring
Garden Club on the grounds of
the Wheaton Regional Library
at Georgia and Arcola Avenues.
This first planting which
started Saturday will amount
to about $500 worth of beautifi-
cation. Croydon S. Tolson, chief
of the county's division of serv-
ices, has worked with the Gar
den Club to perfect an overall
planting plan for the library. 1t
will take several major plant
ings" to complete the plan, since
it includes such additions as
large shade trees, more shrubs,
and large pines which will help
screen the parking lot.
Financing of this initial plant
ing will be partly by the Whea-
ton Library Committee and
partly by the Garden Club
which has held card parties and
a flower mart to help raise
funds. Additional money will be
raised through a drive which
will start early in June and
through "can contributions" So
licited in the area.
Ultimately, according to Mrs.
William H. Myrick, chairman of
this community project for the
Garden Club, flower beds will
be available on the south side of
the Library building for plant.
ing by youth groups in the area.
Identification of the bare Ii

Spring Garden Club is a long.
range project and, Mrs. Myrick
hopes, the community will take
not only a financial interest in
it, but will also find the end
result most satisfactory. A
of the plans will be dis.
played in the library in the near
future.

On Schools
Backs P-TA

The Committee for Public
Schools has endorsed a Mont
gomery County Council of
Parent Teacher Associations
campaign to bring the new
school board primary law to a
referendum.
In backing the P.TA drive to
obtain 10000 signatures on peti-
tons required to bring the con-
troversial primary plan to a
vote, the committee "deplored"
the action of delegates who put
the bill through in the face of
opposition by the P.TAs and
other groups.
To bring about a referendum
on the bill, which now requires
nonpartisan candidates for elec-
ton to the school board to en-
gage in primaries along with
partisan candidates for other
offices, the petitions must be
filed in Annapolis no later than
Friday. P-TA Council officials
said they anticipate no difficulty
in obtaining the required num-
Der of signatures before the
deadline.
In announcing its support of
the P-TA program, the Commit
tee for the Public Schools con-
tended the local delegation acted
despite the petitions of the
committee and many county
civic bodies for an opportunity
to give the entire problem of
school board elections the
mature consideration it de-
serves"
1t termed the new amendment
premature ill-considered
. and a dangerous step to-
ward confusing school board
elections, which should be non
partisan, with political pri.
maries."
A referendum brought on by
the petitions, the committee
said, will provide full oppor.

Not by any means are the farmers the only
ones who establish Co-ops. Business uses CO.
operative associations for many purposes A
good example are the associations of retailers
to achieve savings by buying as group. There
are scores of this type of cooperative. Typical
OF them are Fairway Foods, Our Own Hard
