War l. And so Coze prepared spe-
cial sketches to aid in the authen-
tic costuming of the soldier, plus
a cap, muffler and candle in a
champagne bottle for props.
Another assist came from the
famous dancer, Forrest Thorn
burg, who took the responsibility
for costuming Emma Lazarus,
played by Mrs. Cecil Newmark.
The Phoenix Little Theater, by
the way, threw open it's entire
wardrobe department for the pag-
eant'S use.
The young soldier, Jay Cohen,
has been up to his ears in anna
teur theatricals this month. Not
only is he performing major
role in the pageant, but stimuli
taneOusIy he has been rehears-
ing for parts in 'Father of the
Bride' at West Phoenix High
School and in the mems club
variety show at Beth Ell Syna-
gOgue.
Even the small-fry set finally
got into the act.
Originally there were no parts
written into the pageant for child
rem. Then several youngsters
whose parents were in the show
began to catch the contagion of
excitement. They heard their mo-
theirs and fathers rehearSing lines
(and, in some cases, they learned
the lines before Nom and Dad
did. And they wanted in, too.
So Mrs. Meckler wrote in sever
al parts for the kids. Among them
are Barbara Martin, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Martin of
1925 E. Coronado Rd., playing Re-
becca, the daughter of ASSer Levy;
Ellen Becker, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Arnold Becker, playing De-
borah in the frontier scene; Bruce
Gross, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jo-
seph Gross of 314 w. Almeria,
playing Jamie in the same scene;
David Levine, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Levine, playing David May
er in Civil War scene, and Bar
bara Oseran, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. AL Oseran of 1543 Flower
Circle, playing Dvora Schecter,
the daughter of an immigrant mo-
ther in New York tenement.
OF all the props, the toughest
to find was the peddler's pack
which Sam Block carries in the
frontier scene. 1t had to look
authentic, and it had to be man
euverable. Solution? A modern
ski-pack covered with burlap.

holds the spotlight during that
phase of the story. In World War
II, the pageant's Jewish symbol is
the Brooklyn lad, Irving Strobing,
who stayed at his radio during the
fall of Corregidor to tell the out
side world of the tragedy then un-
folding.
Subsequent scenes from the goth
century feature the role of Samuel
Gompers in the establishment of
the US. labor movement and the
abolition of child labor, and tell
of the contributions of Justice
Brandeis.
LilienthaPs CredO
The pageant closes with a scene
showing David Lilienthal, former
head of IVA, as he utters his
classic "credo of democracy" be-
fore a congressional committee.

No Sacred COus

Sad to relate when the physical facts of life pointed
out verbally editoraly certain quarters and cques in
Rockville to point accusing finger the audacy
of the ponerouter few cold shoulders also included
in the punishment.
The indictment includes the silly charge Of newcomer
The indirect indictment has it that socaed have
no object except usupaon of rights and privileges
renched interests and interest the community except
to change its life and characteraways for the worse
To this we say pooh and bah!
The certain quarters and cques" so wrong
in all their lives The newcomers so-caed along with the
odtmers have for the most part considerable number of
dollars invested in homes and businesses in Rockville
stake in the community entities Them anyone ese to
voice in the welfare of the community Opinions the
trary are worse than stupid They born of shorsghted
ness-to say the least.
We hereby notice that we propose to defend the
right of all corners to indulge in critical comment of or
Rockville including own Defense of the right to speak,
however does not imply agreement with the criticism in all
cases. Our concern chiefly is ''the right" involved
Constructive criticism of town and its offerings are
healthy manifestations of growth American community
We trust they will continue here-long and loud.
For part intend to lower the editorial boom when
ever we see fit in behalf Of against all things which affect
Rockville and Montgomery CONTEMPLATING fingers and
sacred cows notwithstanding.
1t is honest conviction that an honest newspaper has
heavy responsibility II be big metropolitan daily
or venerable cenuyod weekly published in the heart of
Montgomery County That responsibility has nothing to do
with playing dead dog with meay mouthed acuuescence
in the interest of chosen few.
The responsibility of newspaper includes the duty of
speaking up and speaking out in the interests of people
and free presswh full knowledge that neither can exist
without the other-even in Rockville

For Life and Limb

The fact that traffic light is urgently needed at the
corner OF East Montgomery Avenue and Perry Street
tinues to be ignored by Rockvlle's governing body
couple of years ago when this newspaper harped on
that subject we informed that installation of light at
this busy intersection State Roads problem that
past efforts of the town to convince the State agency of the
need had come cropper
We think the time has come-and the time has passed
for placing pressure the State by town officials remedy
an extremely hazardous condition The fact that installation
OF light State responsibility in way relieves the town
government of its responsibility of making every eor-and
continuing effort at that-to insure the interests of the ct
zens of Rockville.
We further question the lack of action by the gov
eminent in Strengthening out traffic congestion which con-
tnues to exist at the West Montgomery Avenue entrance
the shopping center The difficulties at that point are so ap
parent we feel it would waste time and ink go into them
at this time The point is the situation there is bad is
growing worse We trust the town not waiting serious
accident in order to be convinced that action should taken
II the town does not act soon the merchants who
the center would be weadvsed to point out Mayor and
Council that hazardous conditions not the best interests
of prosperous business.

Your Responsibility

we seem bit on the eager beaver side in pointing out
that 1854 among other things also is election year for
County, State-and Rockville the beaver in us may be
charged up to interest in seeing County residents
emerge from wherever they hide when elections
up-and vote.
Rockville citizens always have been woefuly lax in their
first and foremost civic responsbitythe business of get
ting their names the registration books and then marking
ballots or pulling levers election day.
Mayor Wedde and the Council have set up additional
days for registrations this year. Briefly they March 49,
30 and 81; April l. 2, and s..
We the big boys and girls around town t. register
on these dates. Tentative spot is the fire house
And while we're at it-less than five months will elapse
before election day up We think it's high time people
began talking out loud about who is going for what
and why Cosy handpicked states just that-rea cosy
when they're sprung the voters week before ballot
ing days But good progressive is to be
tnued or had depending where you're sitting at this time

Give Them the Vote

1t is nconceivabe that lawmakers down in the Federal
City will find anything to bubble in legislation recon-
mended to give 18year-ods the right to vote.
Opposition which says 18-year-ods lack maturity and
consequently cannot carry citizen responsibility adds up
a lot of hogwash.
If 18yearods sufficiently mature to shoot bag full
of bullets in service of their country they also mature
enough to select the politicians who will the country
Democrats and Republicans may split to their hearts
content strictly political issues but nothing political
in the basic justice involved in extending the voting franchise
to group of citizens who shued about without the
American right to voice in their countrys affairs.

THE TRADERS HORN
By YVES Boxer Executive Director Rockville Board Of Tode

this exist with respect to the Rock
vile Board of Trade. In 1853 dur
ing the session of the General AS
sembly bill was introduced which
would have granted to businessmen
in many counties in Maryland par
tial relief from the onerous per-
sonal property tax which is levied
on the inventory and business
equipment of business and profess
sional people. The bill as drawn
specifically excluded Montgomery
County businessmen from this par
tial relief. The Rockville Board of
Trade organized opposition to this
bill throughout Montgomery Coun-
ty, first sparkling q telegram cam
paign directed to the Montgomery
County Delegation in the Assembly
and later setting up a meeting be-
tween businessmen of the County
and the Delegation. The result was
that the bill as signed into law by
the Governor grants rs percent re-
lief to Montgomery County bust
ness and professional people in the
levying of this tax, beginning jan
uary 1, 1854.
Another example lies in the pub
lie acceptance throughout Mary
land and in the District of Column
bia and northern Virginia of the
growing Importance of Rockville as
the next big development area in
Maryland. This has been achieved
through a program of public rela-
tions, which is continuing and
which is resulting in the continued
expansion of Rockville. Every &C.
ton taken by the Rockville Board
of Trade is governed by the under
lying principle expressed by the
signs erected at the approaches to
the city: To make Rockville a bet
ter place in which to live and to
shop.
None of these things can be
measured in dollars and cents re-
turn to the individual merchant.
Nevertheless the return is there.
Let the standard be not "what did
you do for me" but "what are you
doing for u.s."
Just as the interest Of the indi-
vidual businessman in his stake in
the community is expressed by
membership in the Board of Trade,
another measurement of his desire
Ito protect his investment in the
community is the active part which
he takes in Board Of Trade work.

This is continuation of the
point-by-point discussion of the
Rockville Board of Trade program
for vTED. The vB-point program
acas announced at the annual meet
ing of the Rockville Board of Trade
IN November.
In continuing this review of the
program of the Rockville Board of
Trade for 1854 the time has come
to discuss what is essentially the
basis for the entire program. Our
objective in this respect is a double
barreled one = first, to maintain
and expand membership in the
Board of Trade and, second, to
achieve high degree of participa-
ton in Board of Trade activities by
the membership.
1t is automatic, of course, that
without members there can be nc
Board of Trade. Further, without
membership representing all the
business and professional elements
the Board of Trade cannot be a
representative organization. 1t
cannot speak for the business COM
munity with authority unless it re-
ceives the support of the members
Of the business community.
The 1854 membership drive has
been on for several weeks. To date,
response has been gratifying, but
the drive is not yet over, because
not all members have been heard
from with respect to renewals for
1854. Parenthetically let us add
that if the reader is one of the
members whose renewal is due, we
hope that he will take time now to
fill out the pledge that has been
sent to him and return it to the
Board of Trade office.
Most of us are familiar in one
form or another with the story
often told by former Vice-President
Alben Barley, the catch-line Of
which is: "What have you done for
me lately?" Fortunately, we sell

Montgomery County Sentinel:

Editor,
Montgomery County Sentinel:
VIVA, the Montgomery County
Sentinel! At long last our county
tribune has seen fit to prod the
laxity of the Rockville city Off
Gals. Only by continuing such edi-
torials as give, Rockville" in the
January z issue can better govern
ment be obtained. An American
newspaper is the voice of the people
and only with that voice speaking
out will the people become informed
of the existing poor conditions and
be inspired to end the gross ineffi-
cheney of the leaders of our city.
Neighboring communities are
putting us to shame by their pro-
gressive developments, their care
full expansions and well-laid plans
for the business and social future
Of their citizens. We citizens of
Rockville should decide now to
REGISTER and then to VOTE for
better slate of officials that will
bring modern living to our city.
We are confident that the new
Sentinel will promote and encour-
age the registration of every ELI
gible Rockville citizen. In the
meantime, we cannot urge too
strongly that every resident of
Rockville join one of the citizens
associations to discover what else
he can do to help make the future
Rockville truly desirable place to
live.
With renewed confidence in the
Sentinel,

Abmg The
POTOMAC
BY Dewitt S. Hyde

Congress has settled down to work
on what may be one Of the most
extensive legislative programs in
history following President Eisen-
hower's memorable address Son the
State of the Union.
Hasty comment offered by some
of the members of Congress who
didn't have time to really study
the Presidents message pretty
much followed party lines. But
after hearing the message delivered
and studying its contents, certain
impressions become outstanding.
First, l was pleased with the
Presidents acknowledgment of
Americans as individuals. He kept
a way from Jumping US into name
less units in categories such as
farmers, laborers or businessmen.
"Banishment of destitution," he
said, "and cushioning the shock
of personal disaster are proper
concerns of all levels of govern
ment, including the federal govern
ment. This is especially true where
remedy and prevention alike are
beyond the individuals capacity"
Second, the State of the Union
address seemed to be one of the
most extensive discussions ever
given before Congress by Presi-
dent. He covered dozens of sub
jects-even discussing federal re-
sponsibilities for interstate high
way systems. noticed this parti-
cularly because about three-four-
tbs of our Congressional District
is bounded by other states and the
congested metropolitan area of
Washington.
The President has asked that the
federal highway program in high
gear. am in favor of this because
l think in our situation in western
Maryland the need for improved
highways, particularly our main
US. routes 240 and 40, is so great
we should be willing to pay this
2 cents a while longer.
President Eisenhower finished
his speech by talking about some
of the things a government cannot
do. Enterprise and ambition in our
own people, he declared, as well
as peace in the hearts of foreign
rulers, must come from the indi-
viduals themselves. But, he con-
tinued, "a government country, as
ours tries, to sense the deepest
aspirations of the people, and to
express them in political action at
home and abroad. So long as action
and aspiration humbly and earn
estly seek favor in the sight of the
Almighty, there is no end to Amer
ica's road -"
