Our Human Relationships
Rv q II GRAHAM

(The second of q series)
Habits OF Obedience


Habits OF Obedience
Obedience to rightful authority
is habit we should early acquire
even before we can see the reason
for it. We should see that obedi-
ence is for our own good and not
for the pleasure Of, the one making
the. request. l,l{' in Ill
For child to conclude that any
restraint is something to be OPP
posed puts him in line for much Of
the difficulty he will face in life.
Parents often make requests in
such a way as to arouse resent
ment from the child. If given in a
spirit of love and interest a child
soon sees he is a real partner in
every enterprise.
When we see an adult oppose all
the restraints of society we may
be sure he has never submitted to
the restraints of home or school.
He has given away to temptation
always close at hand and does not
have the help of the restraining
influence such as comes from a life
of good habits.
One who has followed only his
own will finds it hard to withstand
temptations which are no problem
to one who has surrounded himself
with good habits. We do not form
a habit by one act, it must be re-
peated.
Repetition is the hammer that
YIELDS the chain of habit"

County Council,
Montgomery County,
Rockville, Maryland.
Gentlemen:
l have read with interest the
proposal of Acting County Man
ager McNayr to move all county
records from Bethesda and Silver
Spring to Rockville. l have also
read about the opposition to this
proposal. l therefore desire to
express my opinion as a taxpayer
of Chevy Chase in the Bethesda
District on this proposal.
| believe it is in the best inter
ests of the County to have all
County functions centered at the
County seat. l, therefore, heartily
approve of this action. 1t is sug-
gested that all other County
functions be moved to the County
seat also. The other functions |
refer to are:
1. All building inspectors
offices.
2. All administrative functions
of the Liquor Control Board.
3. All coming and engineering
offices.
a. All Trial Magistrates Courts
when consolidated into one Court.
l also suggest that legislation
be enacted to separate the Mary
land National Capital Park and
Planning Commission from Prince
Georges County. AS a future
plan, it is my opinion that Mont
gomtery County have its own
water facilities and therefore sep
arate itself from the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission.
A consolidation of all functions
of the special taxing areas under
the County Council will eliminate
duplication and waste and will
likewise save the taxpayers
considerable amount of money.
In addition to these sugges-
tions l recommend that the po-
sition of County Public Utility
Agent be eliminated, together
with his entire staff. Under the
Maryland law, the Peoples Coun-
sci to the Public Service Commits
sion of Maryland, is the represen-
tative of the people of Maryland
in all public utility matters in
Guiding electricity, gas, bus,
street car and taxicab functions.
This official is a full time man
and he is paid approximately
$4,000 per year. 1t is therefore a
waste of the taxpayers money
| insofar as Montgomery County
is concerned) to be required to
finance separate and an addi-
tional representative before the
Public Service Commission. If
every County in Maryland would
set up it's own Public Utilities
Agent and his staff, there would
be no reason to have Peoples
Counsel for the people of the
State. This latter position is, |
believe, full time job. 1t would
only be necessary for our County
Manager to contact him in any
utility matters before the Public
Service Commission or before the
Courts of the State. Our Public
Utility Agent now is a duplica-
ton, and useless expenditure of
the County taxpayers money. /
am fully aware of the fact that
the position of Public Utility
Agent of Montgomery County
was created by Statute, but the
County Council does have the
authority to eliminate and/or re-
duce the salary. You have wisely
recommended that the self-styled
position of hack inspector be
abolished
The County seat of a County
is the Capital of the County,
therefore, there is no logical rea-
son to administer the affairs of

lucky break is not to be expected

Of the other standard Government

Basketball's celebrated Har-
lem Globetrotters, No. ! team of
the sports, are coming to the To-
ledo Sports Arena Wednesday,
March 16, for one night only to
exhibit their dazzling play and
superb comedy didoes against
the New York Nationals. The
game will be the main feature
of a double header which also
will include the personal appear
ance of Jesse Owens, the famous
Olympic Games star, and other
entertainment.
In playing ability, ar-studded
personnel, height, speed, dazzling
shooting, lightning passing and
play-making, the team is endow-
ed more richly than ever. The
Harlem Globetrotters Snowman
ship and fun-making proclivitieS
Surpass their best of previous
years. The great record in bas-
ketball and one of the most as
tonishing in all sports saw the
wonder Negro unit enter the
1948-49 campaign with total of
.3,038 victories against only 230
defeats and one tie, for scin-
tillating percentage of fraction
under $50. Last year the orr
ginal Harlem Globetrotters won
152, lost only five and climaxed
their year by sweeping through
the Hawaii Invitational Tourna-
ment in Honolulu as they COM
pleted setting new seasons at
tendance record for basketball.
More than 100000 saw them in
action, surprising their own high
of 55l, 900 the previous year.
The Trotters established a one
game high when upward of TO-
900 jammed the massive Chicago
Stadium to see them down
mighty George Mikan and the
Minneapolis Lakers 61-59 Feb
ruary 10, 1948, in game recog-
nized by all as for the unofficial
championship of the world.
The other game of the double
bill ordinarily would have top
billing; this is the contest be-
tween the Kansas City Stars and
the Philadelphia Sphas. Besides
the personal appearance of Jesse
Owens as master of ceremonies
there will be table tennis con-
test between Doug Garland and
Harry Cook, famous artists of
the paddle game; and Jacques
Gordon, sensational French uni
cyclist and juggler, at half-time.
Prices for the big evening will
be 81, $1.50 and So, including all
taxes. Mail orders should be sent
to the Toledo Sports Arena, One
Main Street, Toledo 5, Ohio, now
for choice seats.

been strengthened by the adj

homers credited to Purtell
that season.
Ever hear of a half-homer?
Bill Bryson of Des Moines
relays the story of the game
some years ago between two
Missouri teams, Cascade and
Buckhorn. Cascade was lead
ing 10 with two out in the
last of the ninth when a
Buckhorn hitter smashed a
fly that had all the earmarks
of a circuit clout. The left
fielder backed up against the
fence for desperate, leaping
effort.
Just as he jumped the ball
split in two, one half being
speared by the fielder - and
the other half sailing over the
wall! The umpire, caught in
the middle of a furious, near
riotuous debate, got out from
under with this decision.
He declared Cascade the
winner - by half a run!
