OF Vice Here
Under Way

Mayor G. Lamar Kelly said to-
day that an official investigation Of
conditions in the Commerce Lane
area has been launched in an effort
to eliminate lettering, drunkenness
and disorderly conduct from t lie
towns streets.
Mayor Kelly said he has retained
an Investigator and that his action
followed request made to him by
representatives of women's clubs
and organizations here.
While the length of time re-
quired for the investigation has not
been determined, Mr.. Kelly said it
would ferret out facts and statistics
on conditions here which have
aroused a number of citizens to
protest lack of trouble shooters in
the area.
In the meantime, Mr.. Kelly said
he has had two meetings with the
ministers of local churches nd
that at the meeting held on We'd
nesday, it was the consensus Of
opinion of the Clergy that because
"Rockville's Problem" has be EN-
brought to the public attention,
conditions have improved somewhat
in the town.
1t was agreed, however, tha II
continued efforts must be made for
more improvement. The Clergy
feels, the mayor said, that the in
vestigation requested by the Ladies
group should be made by the Mayor
and Council in order that the causes
of "Rockville's Problem" be deter
mined and recommendations made
for the elimination of these con-
tributing factors.

Among Fine
Safe Cities

Rockville will be honored at a
May Day Traffic Safety Rally to
be held at the Emerson Hotel, Balti-
more, on May l, under the sponsor
ship of the Maryland Traffic Safe
ty Commission.

May.
Other Maryland towns to be hon
ored, in addition to Rockville, are
Frostburg, Greenbelt, Riverdale
and Westminster. Some 500 per-
sons from all sections of the State
who are concerned with traffic
safety will be present for the oc-
casion.
Fewer Fatalities
In making the announcement.
Mr.. Burke said traffic fatalities
this year are less than last year
for the first three months. He en-
phasized, however, that much
needs to be done to implement
driving safety measures among
the citizens of the State"
He pointed to the work in the
five traffic death-free Maryland
cities as solid example that safe
ty measures can cut down death on
the States highways.

Real Estate Board
And County
Sponsor Cleanup

Mayors of the Cities of Rock
vile and Takoma Park have pro-
claimed the week of April 10th
through 9th, 1862, as "Clean Up
Week."
The purpose Of this week is to
encourage the citizens of the coun-
ty to enroll in campaign to clean
up their Easements and attics; dis
pose of rags, waste paper and other
rubbish; to fix up their property;
and to remove trash, weeds and
debris from yards and vacant lots.
The object of this week is to pre-
vent fire, improve property, safe
guard health and promote safety.
This years "Clean Up Week."
which is hoped will become an an
nual affair, is jointly sponsored by
the Montgomery County Real Es-
tate Board and the Montgomery
County Department of Public Safe
ty, Division of Fire Protection
These organizations will be assisted
by the R e f use Division of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission, Suburban Re u e
Company and the Department of
Public Works of the City of Tako-
ma Park.
They will cooperate in removing,
during their regular semi-weekly
collections, quantities of refuse
which has been removed from base
ments, attics and yards. This re-
fuse includes paper, grass, weeds,
garden trimmings, trees and other
large trimmings bundled in lengths
not to exceed a feet, and DISCARDED
furniture and other household arti-
Giles dismantled and tied in bundles
not to exceed so pounds each. This
refuse should be placed outside the
building at a point near the rear
of the premises, not to exceed a
distance of 100 feet from the prop
erty line.
The citizens of the county will be
urged to participate in this cam
palgn by newspaper releases, daily
breakfasts on WGAY, window dis
plays in department and hardware
stores, and publicity in the schools
ard service clubs.
Americans probably keep more
rubbish than any other people in
the world, they also have the worst
fire rate, the sponsors said. There
are two reasons for this rubbish
record. First, national procrastina-
ton - the an take care of the
trash barrels Tomorrow" philoso-
phy. Second, we have a lopsided
sense of thrift. We are a nation OF
string savers and trivia collectors
We hate to throw anything away.
We hang onto things in the vain
hope that we may be able to use
t h m sometime Montgomery
County Citizens are probably NJ
different, and our $40 building fires
involving a total loss of property
of $6l9,471 in 1851 is not record
to be proud of, it was stated.

Council Hears 20
Town Women on
Local Charges

Twenty women representing 81
organizations and clubs in Rock
vile told the County Council Tues
day that they were concerned about
lettering and disorderly conduct
which prevails on Commerce Lane.
The group made up of women
who attended a meeting called by
Mayor G. Lamar Kelly last week
told the Council they believed the
responsibility for remedying con-
ditions in Rockville is the joint con-
Germ of Town and County govern
ments.
The group said, also, that it had
asked the Mayor and Council to
conduct an official investigation and
to report to them on actual con-
ditions found.
In this connection, Council men,
bers said if the situation was q
joint responsibility of Town and
County the County should cooper
ate in any investigation made. It
was suggested that the delegation
return to the Mayor with that in
formation.
In the 45-minute discussion, it
was pointed out that the women of
Rockville are concerned not only
with the problems of lettering and
other misdeameanors but that they
are equally interested in discover
ing why contributing conditions
exist.
Council members said they could
cooperate fully in cleaning up I'M
sevOry conditions in Rockville.

Everett Woodward
Announces for
Town Council Seat

Everett H. Woodward, 121 S.
Washington Street, has announced
his candidacy for a seat on the
Town Council at the coming
Rockville elections.
In statement released this
week by Mr.. Woodward, relative
to his filing, he said, 81 believe
that the public is entitled to a
general statement from any indi-
vidual who is filing for public of
flee. When the Sentinel recently
reported that it appeared that no
candidates were filing for Mayor,
Council positions, I first became
interested in running for the
Council"
~ believe" Mr.. Woodward add
ed, chat it is the inherent duty
of qualified citizens to support
their government, both local and
national. AS a resident and prop
erty owner of Rockville, l am in
terested in the present and future
welfare of the city. l have no
axes to grind, nor personal gain
to be derived other than my own
personal satisfaction from contrib
uting my services to the COM
munity."
Mr.. Woodward pointed out that
Rockville has been affected by
recent world developments as have
I'll communities in the greater
Washington area. Shifts in pop
ulation have brought about a
growth in size which naturally
produces problems in adjustment.
These problems, however, should
be reviewed in the light of their
individual merits and not be un-
duly influenced by past grievances,
or whims for an overnight change.
I am willing to discuss bona fide
problems affecting the city after
exploring the merits of each ease.
I will not however, indulge in any
mud-slinging, or rehash past hap
penings. he said.
Rockville is at the crossroads
of progress. It must move for
ward. If elected to Council mem
bership, l will strive to lead in
the further development of the
city in the interests of all of its
residents" Mr.. Woodward as
serted.

here cooperation would be i'm

ENJOYS of the bloc, which
pressed for debate of the explosive

second meeting here to draft
an urgent appeal tc France to
grant self-rule to the people of thoS

her dispute with the two protec-

France boycotted the u. N. de-

in what she considers a domestic
affair.
The Arab-Asian group-made up
of an Egyptian representative and
ENJOYS to Cairo from India, Pakis-

Ethiopia, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan,
Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Yemen
said in a communiuue:

will find solution for Tunisia.
Morocco and the other hanging
North African problems in accord
