Not at all. ALL the radi-
Gals I know-mYself included
have been forced into this
way of thinking through the
growing conviction. rooted
in personal experience and
examination of human his
tory. that only by basic
changes in society can there
be a chance for equality and
security. We want to heal
a sick social order.
Obviously the selfish and
satisfied do not become radi-
Gals. He who has wealth and
position and contempt for the
under-dog is opposed to change,
for the existing order has been
good to him.
The grey misery and shining
dreams of the masses leave him
unmoved. Not until his own
private world gets smashed
will he seriously question so
ciety, for he has a personal
stake in maintaining the status
quo.

Leadership Badly
Needed Here, Says
Chest Worker

Miss Margaret MacGregor Of
the Community Chest and Council,
discussed recreation problems in
Rockville, Friday evening at a
meeting of Rockville Civic Asso-
citation. She quoted scholar liv-
ing 1900 years ago as declaring,
"All the youth are reckless, point
ing OUT that the older generation
always thinks the younger genera
ton is going to the dogs. There is
no alarmingly great juvenile delin-
quency problem in Rockville, ac-
cording to Miss MacGregor. She
does think that a great deal more
should be done in the town for
recreation, not only for youth, but
every member of the family. She
believes that eventually there will
be more public funds available for
recreation program.
Leadership is what is so badly
needed" Miss MacGregor stated,
"and that is what takes money.
She cautioned citizens to be on
guard against the wrong kind Of
commercial recreation, undesirable
movies, and the sale of salacious
literature.
Watson d. Phillips was elected
vice-president of the organization
to fill the unexpired term of Ro-
bert B. Garrabrant who is moving
out of town. Members of the Citi-
zenship Committee turned in a re-
port on the progress of a house
toulouse inventory of potential
voters. An incomplete canvass of
20 out of the approximately so
streets within the town area dis
closed 325 potential new voters for
the town and 230 potential voters
for the county. These streets we're
all in the newer neighborhoods of
Rockville, which has mushroomed
from a population of 2400 in 1910
to about 5000 today. One street in
the Rockcrest development, for
example, had 56 potential new
voters for the town and al for the
county.

New Handicraft
Exchange Opens
At Gaithersburg

Beginning on November Is,
Maryland women will have an out
let for the handicraft for which
they have long been famous, when
the Wayside Kraft Exchange
opens for business on route 240,
at the entrance to Gaithersburg.
Under the capable management
of the owner and organizer, Mrs.
Henry Becraft, the Exchange will
display and sell handmade articles,
both useful and beautiful. During
her years with the Homemaker
Groups in the county, Mrs. Becraft
watched individual members devel-
op such skill that more than one
day sale or bazaar was needed to
market their work.
Realizing that Maryland was
without an outlet for its native
crafts she set about to plan an ex-
change which would be open every
day but Sunday. Among the stock
of Maryland-made objects ready to
GO on sale are hand made dish
mops, wooden bowls, table mats,
crocheted, woven, and textile
painted. There are dolls of every
variety, handkerchiefs, hand-dec-
grated trays, cannisters, flower
holders, and hurricane lamps.
There will be a department
where special orders can be given
for upholstery, chair Gaming, re-
finishing, and hand-decorating
furniture. There are children's
dresses, blouses, aprons, and foot
stools.
When the Exchange opens it will
be carrying chairs, pottery, rugs,
broonis, and baskets made in Vir-
ginia, but these will be replaced by
Maryland products as soon as they
can be located or are brought in.
Any Marylander who has a we'll
made, practical, unusual, or at
tractive piece of handicraft, which
he would like to continue making
to sell through the Wayside Kraft
Exchange, should call Mrs. Becraft
at Gaithersburg 244.
