grippe. A check has been made
with the city office and the re-
port is that there are no temper
airy employees. A check was also
made with the Sentinel and the
report was that no names can be
divulged but that "he was scared
to death of losing his job" 1 did
not do the checking. Now, since
there are no temporary employ
ees, we can only assume that you
are part time employee. There
is difference, you know. Again,
we see no cause to grippe.
Can you be SO naive as to
believe that the people who
worked so hard against Good
Good Government should get the
so-called plums? Further, do you
also believe the loyal men and
women who have given Rockville
years of service" who worked so
hard against Good Government
can be loyal to the present Mayor
and Council? Political Jobs are not
life-tenure jobs, so, if they have
given Rockville years of service
it is time they relinquished their
so-called POLITICAL plums and
give some other loyal citizens a
chance.
I would like to point out that
constructive letters are seldom
unsigned. 1t is the letter in which
derogatory statements, are made
by a person with a chip. on his
shoulder that is usually unsigned.
1 think you were in very bad
form to make light of ones name
Our name is something we had
no part in choosing and if you
haven't the courage to sign your
name, you should be the last one
to cast aspersions on. the name of
another.

Editor:
To the Well-known ranks of
the nameless opponents of Good
Government who skulk behind
their Sentinels and take pot
shots at everyone connected with
CGG, two new names have been
added. Our old friends, Name
Withheld" Puzzled Voter" and
"Old Timer" have been Joined
by Temporary City Employe"
and, last but not least, by The
Anonymous Editor, the invisible
man of the newspaper world!
Temporary Employee" opposes
the appointment of Mr.. David
Cahoon to the office of Town
Attorney because Cd Mr.. Cahoon
was a member of egg during
the campaign, and (2) His name
sounds more like popcorn going
off than a name" Two equally
valid reasons, as any fool can
plainly see! After all, only half
dozen of Rockville's lawyers
were members of egg and there
must be thousands of others
around. The fact that Mr. Cahoon
is one of Rockville's most able
men and has served in various
causes, such as heading the Cere-
bral Palsy drive, naturally is of
no importance to Temporary
Employe."
AS for The Anonymous Editor,
a bouquet of ragweed to him for
single-handedly continuing the
campaign, bravely ignoring the
outcome of the election and even
the request by the defeated candi-
dates for the whole town to get
behind the new officials and sup
port them. The Anonymous Edi-
tor is obviously a man of cour-
age if not wisdom!
But 1 think The Anonymous
Editor should bear in mind, as
he dips his pen in vinegar to
write his unsigned editorials, that
the Good Government candidates
were elected by an overWhelm-
ing majority of Rockville's citi-
zens Including one or two
Sentinel readers IN SPITE OF
all the columns of opposition,
and all the name-withheld letters
that were printed, week after
week, throughout the campaign.
Nearly all of Rockville's citizens
do their own thinking, as proved
on May Bird. l feel sure that they
will continue to have faith in
their hard-won Good Govern
ment officials, regardless of the
distorted opinions of Temper
airy Employe" or Temporary
Editor"
Rockville's people will attend
Council meetings and learn the
facts for themselves, and they
will cooperate in helping our
towns officials during these try
ing times, even if the Sentinel
does not!

Our beef is with bureaucracy's red tape Gobbedygook

Along with the information that it wants few subs,
the Civil Service Commission in Washington oored with
eight single-spaced pages of words about the job.

from half-pint, barefoot Samoans to old soldiers

Applicants must be citizens or natives of American
Samoa They must be at least feet inches in height with

Huh?
1t goes on like that and we have this suggestion:
Why can't the bureaucrats down out of the mental

John Bishop Wins
Acclaim For Fine
Performdnce

John Bishop, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William j. Bishop, of Darby
Crest, who is beginning his sec
ond season with the Cleveland
Play House, was assigned lead
ing role in My Three Angels"
which opened in Cleveland We'd
nesday evening.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer in
an advance notice of the play had
the following to say about the 25
year old thespian:
Young John Bishop meets a
challenge in playing opposite to
two established veterans in his
first big Play House role. Bishop,
Max Ellis and William Patterson,
portray the title roles in Sam and
Bella Spewack's zany comedy,
MY Three Angels" opening We'd
nesday at the Euclid-77th Thea
tire.
AS the dashing, swash-buckling
Alfred, Bishop serves a life term
in French Guiana with his two
convict cronies. The three angels"
take advantage of their own eff
cient criminal natures to help
hopelessly honest family triumph
over a plotting uncle and no-good
nephew. Alfred is the youngest of
this trio of lovable swindlers. With
typical French fineSse, he appoints
himself knight and defender of the
households pretty daughter.
THE 25-year-old actor, who be-
gins his second season with the
Play House, a student last year,
is now a full-fledged member of
the acting ensemble on a fellow
ship basis. John graduated from
the Carnegie Institute of Technol-
ogy Drama School in 1851. In the
United States Marines he made on
-the-spot tape recordings of mill
tary adventures such as the evacu-
alton of wounded in Korea. These
were subsequently used for news
broadcastS in the United States"
That release preceded the OPEN
ing night and Fridays Plain Deal
er had this to say in part about
young Bishops performance: John
Bishop plays the third sinner with
the froce and extraordinary grace
and agility appropriate to the
role. The players emphasize the
humour with broad strokes and /
think it is more charged with fun
here than it was on Broadway"

Every Third
Worker Is
A Woman

Women workers now consti-
tute almost a third of the Ma
tion's working force, according
to the 1854 Handbook on
Women Workers, released to-
day by the Women's Bureau
Of the Department of Labor.
"The advance in women's
employment has been one of
the most marked features run
ming through the past century
of this country's life. and has
continued into the $685." the
handbook comments.
Notable changes have oc-
CURED in the types of occupa-
tions in which women are
chiefly engaged. it adds. "They
now are employed to a much
greater extent than formerly
in clerical and factory work.
On the other hand, women's
employment has declined
through the years in some
service occupations and hand
trades that once were consid-
cred among the. most charac-
teristic occupations of women"
Other facts cited were:
Of the 1919 million women
workers, a fourth are in cleri-
cal occupations, more than a
fifth in service jobs, a fifth
in operative jobs, chiefly in
factories, and about an eighth
are in professional and tech
nical work.
Average weekly earnings re-
ported for clerical workers in
a 17-city survey in 1854
were highest for secretaries,
who earned from $50 to $3.50,
and for top accounting clerks,
whose weekly average ranged
rom $57 to $71.50.
Over 40 per cent of all single
gomen and q per cent of all
married women arg in the
abor force. More than Az
million women workers have
children under 18.
In 1858, a woman was the
lead of nearly 4 million fami-
lies-or about a tenth of all
,amilies in the United States.
