OCTOBER 10, 1870
Town Government

There was reported in the press Last week an item
which, If accept it fact and not fiction,
holds a lesson for Greenbe1t.
The Town Councils and governing bodies Of Norvay's
outlying villages have been forced to resign their
jobs Of admin stration, because of Nazi DEGREES in
regard to their political affiliations. The result
has been chaos, since Nazis must be imported from
Germany to fill these countless minor posts.
This is striking evidence, think, which shows
that while the removal of government from any one
snail tom would scarcely a ripple in the
national scene, the sudden soppage of all town and
village administrative activities throughout the
country poses problem of gargantuan proportions.
Local government is important. For all its waste
in duplication of effort and Its inefficiency, it
can, in time of national crisis, Ell Their preserve
or break a great nation. Given a sound and honest
town admin st ration, any local comni ty carry
on In an emergency.
This Is not brief for extensive local gov
erTment. We merely recognize that local government,
within its own limits Is important and merits the
close attention of every citizen. In a democracy,
government depends not only how carefully you
1ect its personnel, but also how we'll acquainted
you with the admin strative work of your
ity 80 that you, If called, capably serve your
nei ghbors In leadership capacity.

Letter From The Editor

TO THE READER:
Ny county tax bill arrived last week,
yours did. Maybe yours OK. If you like tax
bills, but mine failed to salts fly two counts.
In the first place the bills we're due April l,
1870, but my first and only sta tement postared
September q. received 1T October and then dis
covered that 1t already overdue and In arrears,
subject to interest and penalty charges. These Will
amount to only few CENTS and shall pay in full,
but see no excuse for the statements being sent
out Late This might even cost County Treasurer
Harry W. McNmee votes If he tries to run for
reelection.
More important Is the amount of the tax levied.
Nine was $l.5l. This is snail tax for county
vices for year, I would have objections to
paying twice this If could then pay decent
salaries to school teachers in Prince Georges County.
It is interesting to note that while the largest
part of the tax receipts Is for schools, the next
largest item Is interest bonds. That is pretty
large intere st charge. What you going to do
about it,

by

Minister to the
Greenbe1t Comuni ty Church

The other day there cme to my attention poem
by Grace Evelyn Tobin, entitled "A HOUSEWIVES
Thanksgiving. Our America needs mothers and wives
who pray this prayer convincingly.
For these, please make thankful, Lord:
The things that crowd my daily Life,
The miner 10Y, the petty strife,
The constancy of daily chores,
Ey cleaning glass, my shining floors,
For grubby hands, and muddy feet,
And table wi tn no empty seat
To make its plenty less.
For these, please make thankful, Lord:
The homely things that fill my days,
The tmeless air the beggar plays,
fai thful dog, fireside cat,
The easy, friendly back-fence chat,
For Wine-sWeet days, and wind-swept leaves,
And household where nobody grieves
At wearing last years. dress.
For all these must ask thy aid, Lord,
That Thou Wouldst make the thankful prayers
to start,
But for the love which binds me to my days.
I'm on Fly knees It'll Overlooking heart.
