HISTORIC HOUSE CHAMBER is shown in Annapolis in photo taken from
gallery as Maryland’s legislators rush toward expected adjournment of their
current session this weekend. It Is at the end of such grueling 90-day ses

DEL. 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. Cook are shown here going
over a legislative bill.

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.

SHADES OF THE PAST can be Imagined

By Planners
TVeu? V-E-I-R-S Mill Rd.
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. The chicks were hatched as a class
room project and were only minutes old

Maryland Flower
Offered to U. S.
Senator J. Glenn Beall (R.-
Md.) last week proposed the
Black-eyed Sudan, Maryland’s
State flower, to be the national
flower.
Beall told his Senate col-
“We have heard pro

tassle; the lowly grass; the poor,
over worked rose; the tought, re
pelling marigold. But we need
look no further I give you the
