BLAIS LEE 111, (standing) of Montgomery County, now serving his second term, has already emerged as one of the powers of the General Assembly. He narrowly missed out early this year as House Majority Leader and is now serving as chairman of the House Education Committee and member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. He and Mont gomery County Delegate Edna P.

Thursday, April 2, 1959 Merits of April Topic of Debate Suburbia Today, the Sen tinel’s new rotogravure section, this week leaps fearlessly into the field of controversy with a debate on: “What Is This Thing Called April?” On one side is New York Timesrnan Lewis Nichols, confirmed pessimist who scowls that April is a rain • ridden, roof • mending, rest resistant month. On the other sule are the poets who rhapsodized that April is Love, Joy, Growth and Renewal. The separate stands, and other features, make Suburbia Today a must reading assignment.

Spelling Reaffirmed 9 V-E-I-R-S Mill rd. should be identified just that way and not as Vtl-E-R-S-, current spelling practice, the Montgomery Coun ty Planning Board said last week in a reaffirmation of its stand taken last July. The city of Rockville already has erected signs spelled the right (V-E-I-R-S) way and Ma son A. Butcher, chief of the county’s department of public works said he would initiate the change as new signs become needed. No one is sure just when the V-I-E-R-S spelling came into us age, but a move to correct the spelling was started by the Sen tinel last summer. The Mary land-National Capital Park and Planning Commission voted to recommend a gradual switch over to the right spelling last July. The Commission has street naming authority but the coun ty bears the cost of erecting signs. The road was named for Sam i Magruder of 2104 Pritchard rd„ and Nancy i Marshall of 10701 Hayes ave., both of Silver i Spring.
