she might have to protest any of
fetal action whether such be local,
state or national. There are peo-
pie who will claim that there is
no gain by one vote. That cannot
be sustained as valid argument
because it is that one persons vote
added to thousands and millions
which makes it possible for min
GRITTY of people in our democracy to
run our public affairs. l have very
little patience with and no tolerance
for that person. Yet they can
usually be counted among the most
vociferous critics of the fact that
we have too many low-calibered
men in high places.
My patience with them stems
from a hope that they might be
made to see the error but my lack
of tolerance is so deeply ingrained
that ! would like to see the day
when their voting privilege would
be withdrawn.
The census figures, broken down
by counties and Baltimore City,
give a few very interesting facts.
one unit (Calvert) actually has
more registered voters than resi-
dents over 81 years old. That is
truly one for the records. Next to
Calvert is Queen Annes where the
registration is within 300 of the
over "21" residents. Naturally the
greatest number in the State is
Baltimore City where the unregis-
tered is 265,7S9 which is Az &.
Baltimore City therefore has only
8 out of 5 people entitled to vote
who have even taken the trouble
to register. Baltimore City does
not, however, show the highest per-
centage of unregistered Anne
Arundel County takes first place
with 45fS of her eligible voters un-
registered. Other counties with a
high percentage are Prince Georges
with 42%; Hartford with 1870;
Carroll with 42%; St. Marys 40I /;
Wicomico with 400 and Washing
ton with $50.

unregistered is $3.50 which, though
much lower than the State average
and far better than the counties
shown above, gives all who are
interested in good government a
challenge to cut this percentage
down to minimum.

AS We Hear it!
Food and Talk
Were Wonderful


The Mems Group of the Rock
vile Presbyterian Church, storm
or no storm, gathered up at the
church Monday night to consume
one of those "we-did-it" dinners
the group brags about, and to hear
Roger Tubby, presidential secre-
tary, discuss life at the White
House.
Tubby's talk, so we hear, was
interesting, informative, and off
the-cuff, and the food was strict
ly out of this world.
John Whelan, president of the
group, Kermit Mohn and John
Haltwenger, are the cookstove
prima donnas who sliced up cold
cuts, made potato salad, emptied
out few cans of baked beans,
split up a lot of Kosher pickles,
and ladled out ice cream and cake
to the so who attended.
The group reported it Melted
about $76 from it's August 7 wa
termelon feast. The money will
be added to the building fund.
There were no championship
awarded to the best watermelon
eater but the way we hear it :
the youngsters outdistanced their
elders in the fine art of keeping
their ears out of what they were
eating.

Whatever decision the Council
makes, the outcome will be inter-
esting. What, for example, would
Mr.. Macdonald do, or what could
he do, if PEPCO refused to pay
up? Will he attempt to endear
himself to the hearts of county
residents by forcing PEPCO to cut
off all our electricity? What
Judge would render such a rash
decision? Or will the attorneys
office move all of PEPCO's poles,
lines, transformers, etc. off the
county rights-of-way? Would the
Maryland Public Utilities Commits
zion allow PEPCO to cease serv-
ing its Montgomery County Gus
toners in any case, unless other
service is available Immediately?
On the other hand, will a public
utility which advertises its ex-
cellent services SO widely deliber-
ately bite off the hand which feeds
it a rather substantial revenue ?
And if it goes along without fight,
can anyone doubt from whose
pocket the annual stipend for the
franchise will be extracted? 1t
may not be added to our bill i'm
mediately, but public utilities have
long memories and exceeding
astute accountants, auditors and
legal advisers.
Enough questions. We should
now beseech the County Council
and its legal advisers to come for
ward with either Some action or
some answers, or both.

Several thousand words have
been written, hurled, printed and
otherwise misused in connection
with the now famous PEPCO fran
chise-or the lack thereof. For
tunately, as the case may be, none
thus far have been my words on
the subject. ! should like now to
exercise that prerogative apparent.
ly extended to all persons to let off
steam now and then.
The crux of the knotty problem
seems to be whether the County
Council should, or can legally, levy
the sum of 100000 per year on
PEPCO for the privilege of using
county rights-of-way in the opera
ton of its public utility, and what,
if anything, can be done if PEPCO
simply fails or refuse to see eye
to eye with the Council.
AS to the wisdom of such a move,
] do not profess to speak. That
is a matter which | happily leave
to those seven tortured souls who
were elected to make such deci-
sions, and take the gait if they
prove wrong. But it does appear
eminently incumbent upon the
Council to make some decision. If
the so-called franchise fee is a
proper charge, then let the Council
assess it forthwith. If such action
would be futile or illegal, then the
Council and Mr.. Macdonald should
not hesitate to make that fact
known, however painful such a
move might be in this round os
the fight. t

IN MEMORIAM

11N VA41NAOAk4fA"
In sad and loving memory of our
son and brother, Levene w. Mid
gett, Jr., who left US one year ago
April 10, 1851.
Gone from US, but not forgotten
fingered not to say goodbye
Left world of sin and sadness
For home with God on high.
Gone from US but not forgotten
Smiled and quietly slipped away
God had called, no ties could hold
him
He was ready to obey.
Left his loved ones broken heart
Left US here to wonder why
God should pick the tenderest
blossoms
For his mansion in the sky.
But someday we'll understand it
When we reach that home above.
Where no sorrow ever enters
Only peace and joy and love.
Face to face with Christ our
Savior
And our loved ones gone before
Happily to be united
Know no parting ever more.
Darling, you'll be waiting for us
When our trials on earth are DER
God in Heaven bless and keep
Til we meet on Heavens shore.
Your loving Mother, Father and
Sisters. T-4-11-1tc
