take LIQUOR OUT OF
POLITICS, DEMANDS
JOHN w. BONNER

1.-THE last annual report of the Mon
tana Liquor Control Board for the
years 1913 to and including 1916
viewed in the light of reports prior
to those years, shows on it's face that
politics must be squeezed out of our
liquor business if the taxpayers get
what they are entitled to under our
state monopoly control system" as
serted John w. Bonner, Democratic
candidate for Governor, Wednesday,
in Helena.
"As proof of this statement" Bon
ner said lin 1910 the percentage of
profit was approximately 25.4% on a
business of approximately $6,000,000.
In 1916 the profit was only 17&o ON a
business of approximately $4,000
0OO."
In other words, during the days of
adverse economic conditions the tax
payers made twice as much profit on
1/3 less business than we are making
today This is indeed a deplorable
condition especially when we need
money for the betterment of our state
and our citizens are continually asked
for more taxes.
It's time our people got break"
Bonner said, "by having their state
government run for their benefit"

CONDOR STRESSES
IMPORTANCE OF
KINDERGARTEN

Mary NJ Condor, democratic candi-
date for state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, stressed the need for
revitalizing Montana's education, be-
ginning at the kindergarten level, at
reception held in her honor by the
Custer County Democratic Women's
Club on Saturday. September 25 in
Miles City.
"The continued disregard of the
need for a kindergarten program for
Montana and the attitude that such
a program is one of the "frills' of
education is deplorable. The expert
ence of the kindergarten is in many
respects the most important part of
the child's education. 1t helps him to
make the adjustment to leaving the
shelter of his babyhood and making
his first appearance out in the cold
cruel world. He should not be eX-
pected to make the complete adjust
metn that is required by entering
first grade without first having
learned to get along with his fellows.
Most of the grief and hatred for
school that characterizes some of our
school children today could have been
by kindergarten program.
It is especially necessary now that
our war babies, many of whom have
1een living a pretty hectic five years
With all of the post war problems of
heir parents, are reaching school
lge. The expense should not be an
obstacle such things cannot be
measured in dollars and cents"

DEWEY'S CHOICE ON
LABOR FRONT SLAPPED
by WILLARD FRASER

1.-THE contempt of the Republican
party for the working men and WON
en- of American has been illustrated
again and again. The latest mani
festation of this utter disregard for
the rights of labor has been shown
by the appointment of Barak T. Matt
ingly by Governor Dewey, as his (Gov.
Dewey's) campaign labor chairman"
Demo Congressional candidate, Will
lard Fraser asserted in Roundup last
Friday evening.
MattingIy Wanted Taft-HartIey
Law for Missouri
'Mattingly is st. Louis utility and
insurance lawyer, with a notorious
anti-labor record in Missouri. He has
been an opponent of minimum wage
legislation, and favored a little Taft
Hartley law. How would you work
ing men like to have him as the next
secretary of labor?
Fraser continued, 81 have also been
reliably informed that if Republican
congress is elected, one of the first
laws they intend to pass is one re-
curing union treasures to pay full
wage to employees kept from their
jobs by labor difficulties. BY the past
voting record of my opponent, it is
obvious that if he should be elected,
and anti-social legislation"

Montgomery County's Public
Health Lay Council and Health
Department are represented this
week for the first time by COM
plete exhibit of their own, at the
annual meeting of the American
Public Health Association being
held in Boston. The Association is
the largest organization of public
health workers on this continent,
and its exhibitors usually number
about one hundred.
do you have Health Center"
is the caption of this unique ex-
hibit. Planned and equipped almost
entirely by members of the eleven
Public Health Lay Committees
composing the Public Health Lay
Council of Montgomery County,
the exhibit demonstrates two types
of health centers in that County.
The County Health Department,
co-sponsor of the exhibit with the
Council, assisted with planning and
preparation as well as with pro-
vision of funds.
When the earliest Public Health
Lay Committees were formed in
this Maryland County in 1884,
there were no especially built
health centers as there are today.
Any possible available space dis
covered in an area where a center
was most needed, had to be adapt
ed to the purpose. This situation
continues in some parts of the
County today. Therefore, one of
the two parts of this exhibit is a
model of such a center, used since
1884, and located in the Glen Echo
firehouse in a basement room with
whitewashed walls, lacking win
dows. A miniature public health
nurse is at her desk, talking with
colored woman-the well-known
"Katie" whose history so well
illustrates the service such center
provides its surrounding communi-
! ty. Katie" had lost three babies
before placing herself under the
guidance and care of the clinics
held at the center. Afterward she
lost no more of her numerous off
spring. The model points out that
it is possible to establish a useful
and reasonably satisfactory health
center wherever there is a will to
do SO. The problem of assistance
is solved by competent lay workers.
The second model, which is eight
feet long and built to scale, repre-
sents the health center built as

Among The Homemakers

wedding of a former All Girl who
had attended six dress schools over
the past summers when Betty
Gloyd was a member of Mrs. Jul
ian Kings Cedar Grove All Club.
On Saturday, Betty Gloyd's we'd
ding was held. The bride in her
beautiful wedding dress and her
sister in her lovely bridesmaids
dress, were lovely to see. After the
service, Betty introduced the Home
Agent to her husband by saying
you'll want to meet the woman
who taught me to sew" Then she
said, 81 made Mary AIMS and my
dress for today"
/ Illnesses Reported
This month has brought anxious
times to the homes of many of our
club members.
Howard Smith, husband of the
President of our Council of Home
makers, is gravely i'll.
Mrs. Clarence Burger, President
of the Four Corners Club, has
been seriously i'll but is on the re-
covery list.
Mrs. John Cowell, member of
the Four Corners Club, had ma
jor operation but is making excel
lent recovery.
At Glenmont, the daughter of
Mrs. Thomas Oyster is i'll.
H. c. Stanley, husband of for
mer Council President, Mrs. Lola
Stanley, has been i'll but is much
improved.
Mrs. Mary Emma Mckenzie, of
Browningsville, has been incapaci-

AS many Homemakers know one
or more of those reported ill, it is
hoped that they will take time to
write note of good cheer to their
friends.

Co. Health Lay Council
Has Exhibit In Boston

part of Bethesda Suburban Hospi-
tai. 1t was finished in December
1943 as the first health center to
be built into a wing of a Lanham
Act Hospital. The local public
health lay committee may claim
full credit since it was this COM
mitee which in April 1912 had
organized the Hospital Association
which secured the hospital. The
quarters consist of waiting room
and hall, social service room,
Health Officers office, Public
Health Lay Workers Office, Pub
lie Health Nurses office, two ex-
aiming rooms, clinician's consul
tation room, laboratory, dental
office, and combined assembly
room and library, all equipped
with miniature patients, doctors,
nurses and lay workers. The actual
center, which has been partially
equipped by lay workers, also has
number of lay assistants.
There are now nine health CEN
ters in Montgomery County, and
eleven Public Health Lay Com
mittees. Each Committee is
autonomous for the most part in
its area, and all share in activities
of the Council, such as the main
tenance of two station wagons
purchased and owned by the
Council for the purpose of trans
porting patients to and from
clinics.

GATTHERSBURG
HIGH SCHOOL
Win HOnOrs


The "Blue and Gold" Gathers
burg High School paper, won hon.
orable mention in the bi-weekly
paper classification at the Mary
land Scholastic Press Convention
last Saturday. Two copies of the
paper were sent to Maryland Uni
versity several weeks ago, and the
judging was done at that time.
The staff deserves congratulations
for their work which merited the
ranking of the "Blue and Gold"
with papers from much larger
schools. Estelle Gloyd, editor of
the "Blue and Gold," also placed
third in the editorial writing con-
test.
CHS Defeats NTS
Bill Bogley led the Trojans to a
1876 win over N. T. S. last Friday.
This was the Trojans' third win
out of five starts. In the remaining
games of the season the Gathers
burg team will battle Woodward
Prep at home on November IL, and
Richard Montgomery also here, on
November 10.
Harvest Moon Dance
The Music Groups of G. H. S.
sponsored a Harvest Moon
Dance" on Friday, October 20,
from $3.50 to 1870. The orchestra
consisted of Mr.. Earl, music di-
rector of G. H. s., playing the
piano, Gilbert Thompson, a junior,
playing the drums, and Doug
Hammond, playing the saxophone.
The decorations were appropriate
with large harvest moon and
bundles of corn stalks. For the
main event a cake walk was fea-
tured with Bob Griffith and Eloise
Cox, both of Gaithersburg, being
the winners. During the dance re-
freshments were served.
The dance was such huge sue
cess that Mr.. Earl is planning a
spring dance. All proceeds went to
the music group.
Piano Concert
Carmelo Cascio, celebrated
pianist, gave a concert at G. H. S.
on Tuesday, November 8, at 8 Am.
Mr.. Cascio is a native of Sche-
nectady, N. Y. At the age of five
he lost his sight and the following
year was taken to Italy where he
received his musical education.
Guidance Room
Last year two of our school de-
partments shared one room. These
were the Guidance
and Health Departments. Natural
ly this situation caused many in
conveniences.
The health room now has been
moved to the new addition of the
gym which has provided more
space in the guidance room.
Mr.. Henley, guidance counselor,
suggested that since there was am
pie space, the room could be divid-
ed by a partition using the small
portion for a conference room and
the other part for small meetings
such as Student Council and Pa
troll meetings. Further, this outer
room would serve as a waiting
room. So far, this has proved very
efficient, and the new partition has
added greatly to the attractiveness
of the room.

Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-09-19
PRAISED DESERVED

The Herald proudly salutes
today an organization of which
Roanoke Rapids or any other
city or town should have right
to be proud - the Roanoke Ra-
pids Schoolboy Patrol.
These boys are giving Of their
time and efforts to make this a
better town in which people can
live by making sure that the
younger citizens get chance to
live instead of falling victim to
the careless motorists which sta
tistics prove are operating mo-
tor vehicles in this state today.
OF course, even if there were
1000 members of the Schoolboy
Patrol instead of the 26 that are
active now, nothing could be
done to prevent reckless driving
without the full cooperation of
the motoring public. A driver
who attempts to gain few sec
onds by MASKING down a little
further on the accelerator in the
vicinity of public school is not
only asking for trouble, he is be-
coming a menace to the public
safety and as such should be
put away from harm somewhere.
Officer Nelson of the Roanoke
Rapids police force, who is ia
ther confessor" for the local
Patrol is to be commended for
seeing to it that the ideas of
safety on the highway and city
streets are going to a group of
responsible young men whose in
terest in their project, which is
voluntary and for which no COM
pensation is Forthcoming, is
shown by their being on street
corners daily to give protection
to the children going and coming
from schools.

pean world. 1t develops over So
Wet determination to extend this
conquest into the centers of
Western industry and culture.
Daily it becomes clearer that
rather than let Europe survive
and recover, the Soviets will
make war. In my belief they are
pushed toward war by a variety
of motives: The Marxist-Lenin-
ist thesis that no Communist
state, however vast, will ever bs
safe while a single powerful
non-Communist state continues
to exist; the poor opinion So
Wet leaders have of the economic
stability of their real mand con-
sequently of the permanence of
their rule, unless they can extend
it to the far more highly deve-
loped industrial and technolo-
gical civilizations of the West,
and the analysis that time for
war; is not on their side.
In connection with the lat
ter thesis, the original Soviet
hope of spontaneous Communist
revolutions in the wake Of VIC
torious war has failed to mater
ialize. Except in Yugoslavia,
where armed Communists won
by splitting the Resistance mcve-
ment, no Communist revolution
has occurred without the imme-
diate presence or proximity Of
the Red Armies, and the Com
munist Fifth Columns are not
strengthening but being weak
ened everywhere.
The United States is not pre-
sently prepared for war. The risk
that the Soviets ran now in at
tempting their step-by-step con-
quest is arguably less than it
will be when Western Europe
has industrially recovered and
when the American rearma,nent
program is completed. Now,
rather than later-the Soviets
must think-the United States
could be forced to accept a fait
accompli. amounting to a COM
plete reorientation of the Contin-
ent and putting them in the
Ruhr and in advance position
from which to threaten America.
The Czech coup was the sign
in the sky. from which the Bat
tie for Berlin follows logically.
And 1913 is the Centenary of
the Communist Manifesto. This
may have symbolic significance
in the Soviet mind.

This abolition of the cIassifi-

by our Department of Justice
was endorsed by all who hold
that the religion of an applicant
for visa to come to the United
States is of no interest, except
he belong to some sect which
holds with polygamy or canni-
ballsn. In such cases we would
desire to exclude on the grounds

troll are at their posts each day
for a purpose-that purpose IS
to see to it that the children
may be a little safer as they
cross at intersections near the
schools. They can do that job
and do it well, as was proved by
the Patrols activities last year,
so long as those who drive will
learn to take little more care
and will heed the boys and their
directions.
The Patrol already has the
support of the police force and
the State Highway Patrol. All it
lacks is the hundred-per-cent
cooperation of those who drive
to make it as effective as its
purpose is designed to be.
Those high school boys are
doing a good job, and they de-
serve all the credit that is due
them for their efforts.
ROOM FOR INVOLVEMENT
One of the sources of disfigure-
ment of the American scene are
the jerry-built business struc-
lures on the highway.
The Virginia State Chamber
of Commerce has started a cam
paign to zone" important high
ways. Counties have been asked
to set restrictions upon the land
alongside of highways. The
County Board of Commissioner
will designate the areas where
businesses can be erected and
legislate standards of construc-
ton.
The road between Roanoke
Rapids and Weldon can be a
beautiful highway but will be an
eyesore unless early action is
taken.
The Herald urges the County
Commissioners to explore the
possibilities of "zoning" the
principal highways of the county.
