cHIANG's YOUTH LEGION

Generalissmo Chang Kai-Sheks government on the
island OF Forosa has announced the formation of new
national youth organization, which open to Chinese
Communists in Formosa and The effort design
ed to arouse enthusiasm and increase the numbers of
antiCommunist Chinese throughout the world.
The new youth legion is to contain military training
program for middle and college students on the island of
Formosa In the Chinese Natonalists on Formosa the
United Nations have of their greatest potential assets
While even the experts disagree the present capab
ties OF the Nationalist soldiers seems to disagree
on their possible value in the future properly trained
and equipped on United States standards.
Our government should lend every hand to the Chi
nese Nationalist there is the remote possibility
that we will be called upon to these Chinese troops
Using them against the Chinese mainland of course could
probably mean about war with China and this is some
thing we striving to avoid Thus the possibilities open
to the u N command in Korea limited the moment
II, however we destined to reach the stage where
we will have nothing to lose in employing Nationalist Chi
nese troops their value may be very great South Korea
and Formosa contain considerable manpower and it
only right that the South Koreans and the Chinese should
bear the brunt of the fighting.
Whether not it be expected in the near future
the day should arrive when South Korean and Chinese Ma
honasts other Asian troops will make up the great
bulk OF soldiers opposing the Communists in China To
this end u training missions and training equipment
should be directed While the might considerable
and the cost of supplying these armies once in the field
even greater would be cheap in comparison with the loss
OF lives now being sustained the Korean battlefront

Florida Seen
AS Possible
Premium State

JACKSONVILLE Up - Florida,
''our nations last frontier" can
be a premium state if we do now
the things which Is years from
now everyone viii agree should
have been done, DR.. j. Ollie Ed
munds aid Monday.
The Stetson University president
keynoted the Florida State Cham
Der of Commerce convention with
his prepared talk.
Edmunds prescribed:
1. Matching the states natural
beauty by city planning and re-
placing highway advertising signs
with Towering shrubs.
2. Spending money to improve
colleges and libraries.
3. Attracting the right kind Of
young people-''New citizens who
are far more interested in the
fountain of opportunity than in the
fountain of youth"
Edmunds said these three ac-
tions would 60 a long way toward
filling the five requirements for a
premium state-climate, beauty,
culture, prosperity, citizens.
"On climate our score is high, !"
he added.
AS for the need of beauty in city
growth and along highways, Ed.
munds said:
with notable and dramatic ex-
ceptions, our cities have grown up
with little regard for either beauty
or planning. If we viii set our
selves to make it so, Florida can
be as famous for its beautiful cities
as it is for Its wonderful climate.
And:
"What a wonderful example of
superlative citizenship II would be
to the rest of the nation of the
very men who profit most from
highway advertising would take
the inivitative in planning a pro-
gram to improve the situation. "
He advocated landscaping the
roadsides along the pattern of
those In Switzerland and Hawaii.
eff, in building our premium
state" he said, 1--WE win make our
highways beautiful, ii win bring us
more favorable publicity than any
amount of money we could afford
to spend on national advertising"
''For a state so new in its de-
velopment and with such a COM
paratively small population, Flori-
da has made remarkable cultural
progress" Edmunds continued
"our schools are good and grow
ing better. Our achievements in
art and music are tremendously
encouraging. Our churches are
many and inspiring. Our colleges
are unbelievably better than they
were a decade or so ago. We have
thriving civic clubs and social or
CARNATIONS, ambitious radio and
television undertakings.
"But how much further we must
60 before we can dare to call
Florida the premium state--cul-
turally.."
His solution was to provide the
money to realize Florida's "un-
matched opportunity to become
one of the nations great educa-
tional centers."
''The time Is here" he said.
"when we must decide whether
Florida is to be one of Americas
great cultural centers--or a Coney
Island with sunshine"
Along with attracting the best
type Of youth to the state. Ed
munds advocated using the talents
Of the old people who have come
to Florida-many the "cream Of
the crop in the states from which
they came'--by inviting them 10
play active parts in building the
Florida Of tomorrow.
Other business on the chambers

NEW YORK R-Leaves from a
travel notebook:


NEW YORK R--Leaves from q
travel notebook:
The streets Of Lisbon are re-
puted to be the cleanest of any
city in the world. This gives the WIS.,
itor a favorable impression of Por-
tugal on first view.
The clean streets are only one of
many external signs of the brisk
efficiency with which Premier An
tonic De Oliveria Salazar runs his
country.
DR.. Salazar remains one Of the
least known but most successful
Dictators Of Europe. Under his
long term program for economic
progress Portugal has emerged
from its century-old financial de-
pendence on Britain and is today
creditor rather than a debtor
nation.
There is no articuIate protest
against DR.. Salazar nor evidence
of any wide-scale effort to over
creditor rather than a debtor
nation.
There is no articulate protest
against DR.. Salazar nor evidence
of any wide-scale effort to over
throw his government. as one ma.
tive put it:
"The people will not die for Sal
azar, but they have a lot Of re-
spect for him and faith in him, be.
cause time has proved him right
in most of the decisions he has
made in the last Is years. Salazar
has never made any attempt to
gain personal popularity, because
he doesn't attach much Importance
to it."
The Dictator feels his place in
Portugaps history win be deter.
mined largely by the results of his
campaign to industrialiZe the coun.
try and develop its huge african
colonies.
The revolutionary spirit is a
flame in Asia, a glowing coal in
Africa, but in Europe it is a cold
| ash.
The drain Of the last great war
the fear Of another one--weigh
upon the peoples in almost every
land. The specter of more unrest,
no matter for what reason, simply
appalls all classes.
The common goal is to earn
enough bread for the table-and a
chance to eat il in peace. Euro.
peans not only are opposed to war
talk they don't even wish to hear
the word said aloud.

school. They feel that in the
course of a few years more people
will be moving to that area and
that the present school will be
greatly inadequate in period of
a few years.
Mr.. Cleveland moved that this
important subject be referred to
the executive committee for furth-
er action.
Wilton T. Allen, tax assessor for
Montgomery County was the prin-
eipal speaker at the meeting. He
told the group in part, Contrary
to Popular Belief, the tax asses

the taxes are set after the assess

county has set up the years. bud
get. The main job of an assessor
is to try to be fair and accurate
in assessing, so that the county
gets it's share of the equalization
fund for the school and welfare
fund of the county" He pointed
out that in 1888 the tax rate for
Montgomery County was $1.53.
Out of this $.84 went for admins
trative expenses of the county and
$50 went for schools. In 1868 the
tax rate for Montgomery County is
$2.03. Out of this Ssh goes for adj
ministrative expenses of the county
and L52 goes to schools.
A bill passed by the State Leg
islature last year says. That "be-
ginning January l, 1854, Mont
gomery County should be divided
into three parts and assessed over
a 3-year period, but that all assess
ments would not go into effect
until the end of the third year.
Mr.. Allen suggested, however that
this is a very poor bill from the
county's standpoint because:
l. 1t means that the accessible
base would be frozen for a three
year period; 2. 1t would necess-
itate increasing the assessing force
and clerical staff and, therefore,
from an operational point of view,
would cost more money and be
more difficult to undertake.
Mr.. Allen said further it is plea
SAINT to have purely residential
and farm county, but the without
some Industry or commercial bust
ness in the county, the tax rate
is greater per capita that it would
be if there were industries and
commercial enterprises to help out.
Refreshments were served fol-
lowing the meeting by the Miss
ionary Society of the Jamestown
church.

Travilah Road Blaze
Damages Durbin Home

A fire of unknown origin on Sat-
urday caused $4,000 worth of dam
age to the home of E. S. Durbin,
Travilah Road, about nine miles
from Rockville. The two-story, six
room frame house is across the road
from a house belonging to Lloyd
Connolly which burned just before
Christmas.
Mrs. Durbin was alone in the
house shortly after noon when the
blaze started in in a small first
floor room and spread to second
floor bedroom and the roof.
The Rockville Volunteer Fire
Department, called by Mrs. Durbin,
arrived as the flames broke thru
the roof but they were able to
keep the blaze from spreading. The
Gaithersburg Volunteer Fire De-
partment was called by the Rock
vile fremen when they arrived.
No one was injured.
