Montgomery County
Charter Plan Hif
By R. |. kckeever

The proposed charter form OF gov
eminent for Montgomery County
was attacked last night by Robert
L. McKeever, former chairman of
the Republican State Central Com
mittee for the county, as the first
step toward banishing the two-party
system in State and national elec-
tions.
II do not understand the apparent
approval OF the charter by some
county Republican leaders," Mr.. Nc
Keever said. Certainly their party
duty would appear to be to oppose
any system that does away with the
Republican party and the two-party
system.
IF the two-party system Is ban
ished in Montgomery County, the
next step will be to Danish it from
State and national elections, giving
rise to whole flock of groups split
up as were the countries of Europe,
including France, which lost their
feet SO quickly in the present world
upheaval"
Committee Plans Refutation.
Meanwhile, the Research Commit
tee of the County Charter Commit
tee announced that it will have
ready for release shortly n point
by-point refutation of the false and
misleading statements made by the
Citizens Committee to Defeat Char
ter"
John F. Willmott, Bethesda, Re-
search Committee chairman, said
his group has been conducting con-
tinuous studies of the present
county government and Of county
and city governments in other parts
lof the country. He said his group
has been in touch with all nine
counties which have adopted coun-
cil-manager governments, and with
562 cities under the same system.
\ Mr.. Willmott said the committee
also Is making an analysis of the
financial transactions OF Montgom-
cry County over the last 10 years.
Asserting that '.the many new de-
partment heads and new depart
ments authorized by the charter will
undoubtedly result in greater public
spending and higher taxes" Mr.. Nc
Keever declared that Republicans
who support the charter will make
a costly error in judgment from the
standpoint of their party's interest
in future county elections"
Fears Split in Election.
Mr.. McKeever said that in all
likelihood charter supporters would
be split badly in the election of the
first nine-man council If the charter
is adopted, with the result that the
present county Democratic organi-
zation could elect majority to the
council and proceed to place all Of
its men in key county jobs.
There are. too many real dangers
involved to make it wise for the
people of Montgomery County to
vote for the charter" he concluded
Members of the Research Com
mittee, which would make its studies
available to the county council after
its election, include DR.. Lewis Mer-
lam, Kensington, who directed the
Brookings Institution survey ordered
by the county commissioners which
resulted in preparation of the char
ter; L. B. Sims, Chevy Chase, as
sistant chief of the Governments
Division of the Census Bureau; 1t.
Harry Knight, U. S. NJ, Bethesda,
formerly secretary of the Govern
mental Group of the National Asso-
citation of Purchasing Agents, and
Edgar B. Young, Chevy Chase, Gov
ernment personnel expert in the
Budget Bureau.

tributing to the delinquency of q
minor through keeping a l5-year-
old boy away from his home with

the agreement. In this agreement,
he recalled, the volunteer group
agreed to give up its right to blow
the siren atop Its firehouse and to
authorize the paid department to
receive all fire calls.
In return, according to Mr.. Mus
grove. the paid department agreed
to call the volunteers first when
assistance was needed. Despite the
agreement, Mr.. Musgrove said, the
paid department Ignored" the vol

According to Chief Bargagni, the

Only once was this rule broken, he
said. and that was the fault Of the
dispatcher ut the paid department.

five calls in the last two years." the
chief declared, "just goes to prove

All the factors that enter into
the making of a happy life may be
divided into two distinct classes,
the material and the spiritual.
1t is only natural that the en-
phasis in ones life will first be
placed on the material. But since
you are more than a material be-
ing, since you have a mental life
as well as a physical life to live, it
is very evident that to exclude
from your attention and develop
ment those spiritual factors which
make life happy, would be to COM
init a serious blunder.
AS Jesus declared: Man can not
live by bread alone"
An unshaken confidence in God,
an intimate use of prayer, a faith
full obedience to Divine law, the in
fusing into ones daily life the
principel of Christian love, these
are some of the spiritual factors
that contribute to happy living.
Neglect these spiritual factors
and you will rob yourself of the
power to face life triumphantly.
Exclude these spiritual factors
from your life and you will have no
foundation to hold you steady
when you are smitten by some un-
sweeping away of all
your material resources.
Jesus declares that without a
spiritual foundation a mans life is
like a house built on sand.
Life without God is like a sky
sunlight, like flowers with
out color, like a mother without
love.
You have a life to live. Make
the most of it by developing its
spiritual side, living joyously in the
beautiful realm of divine truth.

BY
Rev. Charles Milton Griffeth
KNOWING HOW
TO LIVE

The most important thing in life
is to know how to live it. Why
not learn that "how" of living
which pays the biggest dividends
of healthiness and happiness?
That great many people do not
know how to live happily is very
evident by the kind of life which
they are experiencing day after
day.
The jealousies, the quarrels, the
the heartaches, the
much of the sickness
and many of the accidents that fill
their lives proclaim the woeful lack
of skill in right living.

Colonel Balchen, who is credited with
more hours over Arctic and Antarctic re-

day last summer when they were breakfast

that Americans might like to know what
has been happening in that northernmost
American air base. In like manner, Major
