A study Of the operation Of the

should prove helpful to the District
federation. When the Maryland
body was formed 1t endeavored, and
to . large degree succeeded, to
profit by the experience Of the
District. In this 1t had . decided
advantage over It's older neighbors.
The District federation has made .
number Of changes In its lava since
its organization, but has not availed
itself Of . number Of the innova-
tions which the experience Of the
Montgomery County body have
proved to be valuable.
The District federation still ad-
heres to the fall annual meeting
and the reorganization Of its COM
mittees at the very time when they
should be actively at work. The
District body continues to permit
the delegates from constituent or
ganizations to begin their terms Is
delegates at any time their organ
nation fixes. This brings about q
great confusion with the federation
roll and the personnel Of commit
tees continually changing. In most
delegated bodies all delegates serve
during q uniform term. This Is
true in Congress. State Legisla-
lures, Central Labor Union, the
other civic federations and other
bodies.
All Of these organization and pro-
cedure problems have q serious
bearing upon the handling Of our
civic problems. They are having
thorough and conscientious study
Of this special committee with only
one thought in mind and that Of
making the Federation Of Citizens
Associations better able to func-
ton as forceful and thorough civic

No YES Men" Wanted
But Genuine, Honest, Thinkers.

The three closing paragraphs Of
the annual report Of H. S. Yohe,
president Of the Montgomery
County Civic Federation. Is worthy
Of study and careful contemplation
by the civic minded during this
period of relaxation. They are
quoted for that purpose:
This federation must not seek
through propaganda to reach veiled
objectives, but rather it must search
for truth in all matters relating to
county government. 1t must set
for the public at large an example
Of honesty and sincerity.
We want no federation of "yes
men; we want real, genuine, hon.
est thinkers; if We have honest
thinkers we are bound to have di-
versity Of opinion, but out OF frank,
honest discussion will come q solu-
tion to problems. There is, indeed,
no place for yes men in a think
ing. virile federation or society.
Nor is there place for political ma
neuvering or reprisal for the ex-
preston Of honest opinion.
This federation has a definite
and distinct mission in Montgom-
cry County. The need for 1t Is
greater than ever It will not be,
concerned with other movements
political or otherwise Its first pur-
pose will be ever to be on guard to
promote the best interest OF the
county and the citizens as q whole.
It should never hesitate to expose
wrong doing, or the promoting of
selfish interests. or misrepresenta-
ton Of the county finances and
Indebtedness. It will not quarrel
with those who may wish to use
any material it develops so long
as there is no Misrepresentation.
Above all it will center its special
attention on major problems, ad-
here to basic principles and enun-
ciate them publicly and fearlessly
without regard to where the chips
may fly. 1t will keep itself free
OF political taint. In the honest
pursuit Of such policies no one can
find fault"

District Annual Reports
win Bring Problems to Light,

Reports OF District department
heads will uncover many new prob
lens and remind of many old ones
long overdue for solution. The re-
port of the new superintendent of
penal institutions, Ray L. HUH, is
expected to be of special interest.
He has made q fine beginning In
his administration. He has the con-
f1dence OF the civic groups which
are more interested in penology,
Prior to his appointment he was a
moving spirit in the Corrections
Committee of the Council of Social
Agencies. He has the citisens' as
well as the institution viewpoint
on the numerous problems.
His task Is a most difficult one
and the campaign to be waged by
the general committee recently
created by the Corrections Com
mittee proposes to get right behind
him and push for accommodations
and reforms long overdue. The
crowded condition of the institu-
tions and lack of adequate bathing
facilities is revolving in the extreme.
Other department reports will
surely furnish additional food for
careful reflection and positive ac-
ton.

Aim to Increase Efficiency
OF d. C. Federation,

While many workers in the civic
ranks are relaxing for the summer
a special committee of the Fedora
ton OF Citizens Associations is
nuslly engaged in studying its
constitution and bylaws under
instruction to report recommen-
dations Of amendment which
Will increase the efficiency and
Improve the procedure of the
organization. Numerous sugges-
tions have been submitted to the
committee for study. A tentative
report is now in course Of prepa-
ration which will receive further
study from the committee and
then be submitted to the Executive
Committee for informal discussion.
The special committee plans to
endeavor to have the revisions laid
before all Of the member organisa-
tions in order that there may be a
full understanding Of what is pro-
posed. It is the desire Of the COM
m1ttee to obtain q mature and thor.
ough consideration.
The Montgomery County Civic
Federation last year considered "a
number Of proposed changes in its
bylaws which cover the same
ground as the constitution and by
laws Of the District federation, the
former being an incorporated body.
Practically all the proposals were
rejected except the one which
changed the time of the annual
meeting from fall to spring.
In the annual report of President
Yohe Of Montgomery County he
says: "The changing Of the fed
GRAFTON year should result in ac-
ton on important matters earlier
in the year, affording an oppor-
tunity for more thorough discussion
Of major subjects, avoiding Q piling
up Of work toward the close Of the
