The Moy Day Election

May Day in Montgomery County is election day for
Municipalities. Despite .rumors that in Rockville full
ticket would be filed against the incumbents, only one
of the four council seats will be contested.
The Mayor liking nothing better than good stiff
fight despite his Quaker background was prepared to
campaign vigorously for the opportunity to complete
the tremendous program he and the council have planned
for the next two years had he been opposed He asks
that voters to the polls and vote for the entire council
He cites the fact that all present council members live
and work in Rockville; have better opportunity to learn
the needs of the town. and keep eye current
work while earning their living. The positions carry
pay.
The lone wolf candidate running independently
against the City heads to have been poorly in
formed on some points which he cites his platform.
BY inference rather than accusation, he makes
last week Mr. Ladd assured potential voters thaf elected
he could work Comparatively and in harmony with any
other honest and sincere public officials. If he has
proof that have other than honest city officials he
should have told the voters Again he has spoken of
"courtesy-if city employee has been dscourteous to
him or any taxpayer the incident should have been
ported to the City Manager after all he is responsible
fonthe employees 1t is perfectly true that courtesy is
one of the first requirements for good public employees
We feel that the election of the independent candi
date as minority member of the council could
only result in the slowing down of the planned
program differences carry no weight but can result in
much hard feeling
However citizens think the subject, we hope they
will go to the polls Monday and vote. Even though
he is unopposed how about giving the Mayor vote of
confidence? --

Copies are available in the City
Office and the Sentinel can also
furnish them, the Mayor explained.
The Recreation Board proved a
dismal failure by recommending a
budget so great that a poll of tax
payers rejected it by more than
two to one majority, he continued.
"As to long-range city planning
attention is called that the present
Mayor and Council have employed
one of the most experienced engi-
neers for this work under the
guidance of the City Manager.
"Mr. Ladd is apparently untu-
tored when he proposes a group to
draft a MASTER PLAN. 1t has
never been done this way and cb-
viously to trained persons would
not work. The democratic way is
to have expert qualified persons
create the planning and then modi-
fly to the wishes of the majority,
said the Mayor.
AS to development of City serv-
ices such as water, sewer, lights,
streets, etc. on a sound engineering
and financial basis, Mr.. Ladd is
again uniformed or distorting

Modern
Marriage
By DR.. Paul Popenoe

The j. marriage wasn't going
well. A few minutes conversation
revealed one Of the reasons. Mr..
j. was giving his wife punishment
when he should have been giving
her encouragement.
Mrs. J.'s mother was in the pic
ture. "She's unreasonable" Mrs.
j. admitted. "She always has been.
7 was the last of her children to
marry, and she clings to me.
Unfortunately, we don't live too
far from her. She calls me over
there too often.
But I 60 for other reasons, DR..
Popenoe. We haven't been able to
afford q washing machine, so I
take the laundry over there. We
don't have a sewing machine, so
I 60 over and use hers. I even
darn Bill's socks there. 1t took
me q while to learn to do SO by
machine, but now I can make
more comfortable and better look
ing darn, more easily and quickly
than by hand. Bill was loud in
his praises-until he found was
doing them on mothers machine.
Then you should have seen how
black he looked; Is that reason
able. DR.. Popenoe?"
Bill didn't stop with black looks.
He came home one day at $50,
for instance, and his wife was not
there to meet him. He was sure
she was at her mothers but he
merely drove back to town, got
dinner alone and went to a bowl
ing alley. He came home about
10 to find his wife (who had come
home at 5:40) frantic with fear
and anxiety as to what had hap
pened to him.
She's afraid of her mother"
Bill told me bitterly.
"She tells me-" I added. that
she's afraid Of you, too"
He made no reply.
cts unpleasant for a husband
to have wife who is scared of her
mother" ! continued. He nodded
eagerly. But how do you sup
pose the wife feels about it? I'm
pleasant for her, too, isn't it?
You're the biggest thing in her
life. She wants to give her COM
plete loyalty to you. Yet her
mother keeps interfering. That
makes it mighty hard for the girl,
doesn't it?"
II didn't think of it in that
way" he answered.
why not?"
II suppose that I didn't realize
she was suffering. thought was
the one who was being inconven-
fenced all the time-and felt it
wasn't fair for her to neglect me. +"
$50 you punished her for that"
Again no reply. went on, "She's
in a very hard situation, Mr.. j.
There's nothing in the world she
wants so much as to be a good
wife. This mother of hers is not
your problenn-it's your wife's
problem. What do you think you
can do to help her most-terrify
her, humiliate her, punish her?
Or assure her that you under
stand, that you'll be patient. that
you'll stand by her loyalty while
she works out this very difficult
problem? In short encourage her?'
He smiled family for the first
time. That's what the school
books call the rhetorical question,
he replied. 1T answers ITSELF"
