Barkleys and \ then with the

porter has found that many
Democrats intend to vote for
Senator Cooper. A farm operator

A businessman with wide con-

Democrats say they would vote
for Senator Cooper.

Another factor is what Gen.

Clap Hands for Our Side

1t appears that American coffee drinkers refusal to take
the current high price of coffee lying down is disturbing to
the seveneber unit of the special coffee commission of the
American Economic and Local Council down in Wash
ington.
In Short the Commission wants to brand officially any
organized coffee boycott by this land of rugged individual
lists as "an act of economic aggression"
What we want to know is what the commission by
organized? Apparently, there is little understanding in
some Places including Latin and South America that free
people pushed far enough sometimes have way of settling
things for themselves while diplomats and statesmen off
at the mouth.
The tone and phraseology of the Commission have a
familiar ring to and prompted to ask just
how stupid psychoogcaly speaking the coffee commission
can be.
The surest way to get American to boycott anything
is to threaten him either with words with big stick The
Commission would be asue if it agreed that possibly
couple of things down in the coeeproducng countries need
to be Strengthened out in behalf of its good neghbors to the

Rather than accuse Americans of economic aggression
the Commission should be interested in learning whether
not few of the boys back home holding supplies

itself in learning how much speculation going coffee
and coffee futures.
We brag that no one has stronger belief in the good
neghbor policy than On the other hand we proclaim
that no one has stronger belief that good neghbor policy
has to work two ways We along with lot of other people,
are sick and tired and fed up to here with policies and
operations which work only in direction.
If the American public finally is boycotng coffee and

American public on its initiative finally is refusing to

The letter concerning South
lawn Lane which appeared in
last weeks Sentinel meets with
my heartfelt sympathy. I too
live on this road and together
with my husband try to operate
business here.
At the present writing South
lawn Lane is a virtual hogwallow
of mud and slush. BY the time
our 8-year-old son wades to and
from school through this slush,
meeting a few cars and trucks
on the way, any self-respecting
pig would shrink from him in
disgust. This despicable condi-
ton is unavoidable. Escaping the
spinning, sliding wheels of
trucks and cars alone on this
narrow road is an achievement.
To escape the mud is an impos-
sibility.
Recently stranger commented
after driving down over our mar
row road that he had left three
cars along the way stuck and
stated that one was a Jeep. He
did not know that the Jeep was
driven by my husband. Later, 1
learned that the stranger had
apparently expected to meet and
successfully pass a car, at any
point on this road. He did not

the ideas of the great majority
of Rockville's electorate.
But it is important to realize
that the method which actually
has been chosen for the selection
of this slate of candidates, along
with the timing of the nominal.
ing meeting, in fact eliminates
the great majority of our citizens
from having any voice in the
nominations. Those who are
aware, and who promptly contact
the heads of their civic organiza-
tons may be fortunate enough
to have their ideas made known
to the nominating committee, but
by and large the committee will
have to function without the ad-
ance of the voters, and it can
only be hoped that these men
are omniscient enough to select
the best possible slate.
While the writer is no student
of government, it would seem
perfectly possible, in a communi-
ty no larger than our own, that
truly democratic nominating
procedure be developed. It
is to be hoped that by
the next town election we may
have developed such a process.
The writer mites comment on
this opinion, and would like to
join with others who believe
similarly.
