Looking back on 81 years as

schart, n. today has just one
cogent comment:
This job gets worse each

1913, DR.. Broschart faces re-
tirement November / without q
pang Of remorse. He hasn't had
q vacation since 1880.
Il think leaving this job will
do a lot for my golf game" he
unused. None of my friends will
play in a foursome with me,
because they know I'll be called
away before it's over - and
break up the game"
He estimates that during his
career as medical examiner, he
has been able to complete only
one round Of golf out Of every
five he has started at Manor
Club, where he has been a
member since 1929.
What will be his final Of
fetal act on his last day in
office October 81?
I'm going to take my car
into the garage and have EN-
rip out the police RADIO" he
said. with a contented smile at
the prospect.

that car. but 1 never get q
chance to play it. Now I'LL listen

Lawyer Told
To Prove
FroudChorge

A Montgomery County at
torney, representing two de-
velopers seeking rezoning in
the Gaithersburg area, yester-
day was given five days to sub
stantiste extremely serious"
charges Of fraud involving the
county council.
Montgomery County Circuit
Court Judges James H. Pugh
and Walter H. Norman, hear
ing a suit filed by Attorney
David Macdonald seeking to
require sworn testimony from
council members on the coming.
told him to appear in five days
to back up his allegations that
the council was guilty of fraud,
guile. Misrepresentation and
personal favoritiSm."
Mr.. Macdonald's suit claimed
that the council gave its ten
tative approval to rezoning of
q 90-acre tract near Route
70-S and Shady Grove road
for a subdivision and apart
mentS.
But two weeks after the s.
to-l approval, Mr.. Macdonald
charged, council members re-
verSed themselves by the same
vote, which the lawyer said
was on the basis Of evidence
which was not in the public
record.
The judges told Mr.. Mac
donald that such CHARGES
against the county's governing
body were so serious" that he
must prove his allegations with
an amendment to his petition
citing specific violations.

neighbors. The population was
only 300 when he arrived there
but he keeps fairly current with
the newcomers - particularly
when he is the doctor who de-
livers many of them.
He recalled that he came to
Maryland after World War 1 to
get away from the coal fields
Of Pennsylvania. where he then
lived. He and Mrs. Broschart.
to whom he was married in
1915. looked around Maryland
and finally chose Gaithersburg
on the advice of a prominent
surgeon in Frederick. They
have been there ever since.
