No Substitute For Votes
Gan Editorial)

Advocates of the Bookings plan to change the
present form of Montgomery County Government to a
such proposed changes would benefit the people OF
Montgomery County
Dividing the County into nine separate Council
manic districts, Bookings recommends, would COM
pletely destroy the balance between the agricultural
and suburban sections For twenty-five years
this has been maintained fairly and to the advantage
of the people of both sections. Each time Federal
is conducted the pendulum of power will swing
sharply towards the suburban end of the county
because proposed councimanc districts based popu
lation, would be re-established.
Central and Northern Montgomery county would
not have the privilege under the present State and
County laws of voting sturdy emphatic Yes! or No!
for against all the officials of the government OF
their home county.
Bookings proposes a county council of nine mem
bers from each district to be elected by only that
district. They would have complete jurisdiction over
all county laws and could change any existing county
law by bare majority Of five members To change
law under the present system it is necessary to
convince majority of Montgomery Countys members
in the House of Delegates at Annapolis of the wisdom
of the proposal Montgomery Countys member of the
State Senate must further believe the change wise
and justified. The proposal must also be sufficiently
sound that the members of the Legislature from the
other % counties and Baltimore City flaws in it,
Then the proposed new law or change in old law
must be good enough and wise enough to secure the
signature of the Governor before it becomes law
Under the BroOkings plan any five councilmen can
change law or make new one against the wishes or
consent of fortyive per cent of the people of Mont
gomery County and with no appeal except to the
courts the question of constitutionality.
This danger alone more than outweighs all the
possible advantages that might flow from the Brook
ings recommendations
1t is hard to why the professors and advocates
of the Bookings plan think that all would be heavenly
with nine county council districts of old Montgomery.
1t certainly would not eliminate politics, highly
paid proposed county manager would have to have
highly organized machine to help him retain $4,000
a year job
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance and this
County has been well governed for years because the
voters Of Montgomery County have been vigilant and
have elected good County officials. There never has
been any safe substitute for sensible voting and there
never will be. The Civic leaders and the Brookings
Report have not produced improved formula.

about $4,000, most of which was
raised at the fire departments an
nual carnival last fall. Work on
the structure began last summer

ty to obtain material.
Chief Burdette said that in ad-
dition to the engine room on the
first floor of the new building,
there will be recreation room for

news is misdirected energy and
an uncomplimentary reflection.
The same was true about our
1941 soldiers being so different
from soldiers of other eras. The
only real changes in people can
be found among those who
assign unto themselves the task
of doing all the thinking for
the balance of us.
The maneuvers of last sum-
mer and fall proved concur
sively that our young men, once
hardened, can "tale
We it" just as well as
Can those of us who
seTake It" "took it" in World
War No. 1, and
those soldiers of 1917-1918 were
as hardy lot as ever wore
American uniforms.
What is true, physically, of
men in the service is true of
the general populace, mentally.
We never have learned what
amount of physical hardship
and mental anguish the human
mind, heart and body can en-
dure. We do know that the
best effort of human endeavor
frequently results from misfor-
tune.
For a group of people to de-
eide for the entire population
that certain information, be-
cause of its drab import, must
be withheld is to treat US like
children. It indicates lack of
confidence in the fortitude and
common sense of the people of
America. It is not that infor-
nation which might conceivably
be of advantage to the enemy
should be broadcast. Such in
formation must be controlled.
But to withhold information of
military or naval reverses be-
cause of fear of public morale
is very different. 1t is not only
unfair, but fine opportunity of
building national character and
creating firmer determination
to push every phase of patriotic
activity, is overlooked and lost.
Well never win this war and
THE PEACE with a false and
pleasant security resulting from
a misconception of the real de-
velopments of the conflict. We
want to be able to smile in
spite of all that happens but
we don't want to grin because
some sob-sisters have told us
fairy tales. Prime Minister
Churchill told the people of
England that there would be
"blood, sweat and tears" He
didn't tell them there'd be no
adverse news. And, as far as
military intelligence will permit,
Britain gives her people ALL
THE NEWS, good and bad
alike. They have proven how
well they can stake it." And
we of America don't want to be
falsely shielded.
GIVE US THE NEWS, good
~ and bad alike. We don't
expect every announcement to be
one of victory. We know that
our air force can
No not destroy enemy
Fairy planes without suf-
Tales fering some losses.
We know that our
navy cannot give a good ac-
count of itself without some sac
rifces. We know that we are
in for a stretch Of hard living.
But we want real not fancied
facts. We hope there1l not
be too much bad news but we
want to know it when it occurs.
Pearl Harbor is proof of healthy
reaction resulting from bad
news. National unity, such as
followed the treacherous attack
on Hawaii has seldom been wit
messed in America. If we haven't
what it takes to absorb reverses,
it would have been better for all
of us to have been isolaticnists,
appeasers and collaborators-all
of which would have led to
eventual enslavement.
