sioners at Upper Marlboro will
start the first Of three public hear
Iings on conclusions drawn by a
Chicago firm which recently. COM
|pleted a $25. 900 governmental sur
vey. A lively debate is expected
on proposals for a home rule char
ter and o professional county

Both questinos are controversial,
the manager phase particularly so.
Three county civic groups are
leading a drive for sweeping gov

one is on record for q charter and

Citizens Committee Busy.
The Citizens Committee for
Good Government, in the fore
front Of the battle, has conducted
meetings throughout the county
advocating adoption Of both pro-
lposals.
Only one objective, a charter to
permit local consideration Of local
legislation, is urged for immediate
adoption by the League Of Women
Voters.
The county Civic Federation
has taken no stand.
Opposition has developed
throughout the county. especially
in the southern section. Objec-
tors see such a shift as unneces-
sary. expensive, q threat to the
two-party system and the opening
wedge to dictatorship.
New Move Held Necessary.
Civic leaders in the northern
sector, now teeming with families
from all parts of the country and
still mushrooming, hold that new
methods are necessary.
They face these requirements:
/. At least 10000 signatures
must be obtained in May on q
charter petition. ....
| 2. Not less than 1000 persons
must sign petitions for each Of
five charter board members in
September.

The League Of Women Voters

"I'm surprised to learn that the

have not disclosed their viewpoints
officially. It is known that they
may be willing to go along with

CAMPHOR CHURCH NEWS

On Sunday morning the con-
gregation of Camphor church was
privileged to hear a most dynamic
speaker in the parsonage of Bish-
op Edward w. Kelly. From the
book of James, chapter one, verses
% through &c, he chose the theme
for his sermon, Vain Religion"
When we embrace a religion, we
must be born again and start life
anew because when our end comes
our religion should not have made
us become sour but rather II
should have improved with age.
A vain religion has no market
value because it is a sham so con-
sequently we have among us some
so called Christians who praise
God on one side of the street, as
it were, and then lay their religion
down. cross over to the other side
to do anything one would expect
to find in a worldly life. We have
to make daily tests to see whether
our lives are showing any improv-
ment,
Education IS an admirable pos
session but a very poor substitute
for religion whose high value can
only be atested by its users. The
TrueSt value of a thing worth
while is not as it is now. but as or
what it will be in the future. AS
a Christian are you unfOrgiving,
intOlerant, and partial in your
dealings with your fellowmen?
Then your life needs an overhaul
ing job done on it, because your
religion is not strong enough to
determin right from wrong
Christ is impartial toward all Of
us and to grow more like Him, we
must walk ever closer to Him be-
cause we never know when He
will call upon us to do a job for
Him and we must be prepared
for He calls His children from
anywhere at any time,
Our sick list is still the same
with each patient showing some
improvement. Please continue to
remember them in your prayers
MYFB group will meet at 5 p.
m. in the church on Sunday after

8 p. m. in the church.

Inc hSn point OF the worship

sermon by the pastor and the
Holy Communion of which many
partOok. The message was based
on Luke % 10 in that scene at the
Last Supper where Jesus said to
His disCiples-"Do this in memory
of me-"
The speaker asked the question
What Is Communion ?" The
answer was somewhat on this or
der: Communion is more than a
coming and going to the table; by
It we are reminded of His Grace,
His power to save us from our
sins; together we are made aware
of His great sacrifice for us. II is
feasting with Jesus. The Bread
and Wine are simply vehicles over
which we feast with His presence
and get renewed courage. When
our hearts are right, Jesus comes
in; we prove our love for neighbOr
It's a time of fellowship when all
hearts are strangely touched by
the power of God. LAS often as ye
do this, do it in remembrance of
me"

Massey. Rev. Massey spoke from
the topic, Toward A Life of Vic
tory" His text was taken from
second Corinthians, 4th chapter,

ed; we are perplexed, but not in
despair: prosecuted; but not for
saken, cast down, but not destoy-
ed. In his message Rev. Massey
brought outthe point that, a way
to gain a victorious life is by de-
veloping resources within, to re-
Cognize the inevitable, and build
upon it. Change your pace of Gv-
ing, and take God along with you
on your way each day.

IRE: The Moore Killers,
BY william Henry Huff

BY William Henry Huff
i shudder when 1 think
OF what win be their fate
Down at deaths chilly brink,
Or at the pearly gate.
What win they say when asked,
Why did you take Moore's life
With that Internal blast
And also take his dear wife ?"
What will their answer be7
Why men are so depraved
Is hard for us to see;
Just why they so behave
In this democracy
We're at a loss TO know.
Their doomsday will appear;
Such heinous crimes must go.
In fact, their doom is near
The ak is by the tree.
