All This, and Publicity Too!

We hear the long way round that Rockvle's Mayor and
Council have under Amusement plan to retain and pay
public relations counsel or adviser
In general pupbc relations counsel to promote
the interests of the group body he she represents
public relations counsel also the character who stands be-
tween the brass the organization he she represents and
other seeking information for public private
public relations counsel also writes up glowing terse
carefully screened releases of activities and actions
which sometimes used by newspapers
We submit this is pretty hghsounding skyarkng for
small community matter how small the monthly retainer,
and no matter how fast the town growing For part
we can think of better ways to spend town dollars We
will be happy to stand and mention few as free public
relations service, if anyone wants to listen.
We also would like to mention in passing that quite
few big cities, big countless and big business organizations
never have felt the need of hiring publicity talent in order
put best foot forward keep their house in order In
stead their policy has been to cultivate mehonored device
known in many circles little horse sense policy which
is always appauded by good citizens cvic-mnded
papers. l1i A.,
In the event the town does decide hire public rea-
tons expert point out that such expert should have
no commitments whatsoever which Immediately place him or
her in most favored position regard to news knowledge
of town business
Also in the event the town decides to hire public rea-
lions expert trust that official brass will not expect to be
unavailable" to citizens who want the real low-down on
public business from frst-hand sources.

Rockville Or Not

From what gather at the various listening posts
around town. appears increasing and surprising number
OF Rockville residents lending able lip service to talk that
the town would be better off it scrapped its charter and
turned the relns OF government to the County.
For our part, became residents of this community
because we liked the idea OF and council to fight with
or beat on, the might be. For another thing we
were and still taken with the thought that the great
American nation has its beginnings and it's in
town assemblies.
Furthermore, liked and still like the rugged indi-
vdualsm inherent in community that conducts it's own
business as it fit We particularly dislike the thought
OF town having appear before the County Council hat
in hand to plead for town needs along with the long line of
unincorporated communities.
On the other hand it would worse than stupid not to
acknowledge that people hereabous provocative ques
ton when they ask what they're getting from dollars
that they wouldn't get cheaper from the County.
The question deserves answer. 1t is belief that
the next mayor and council to be elected provide
answer by capable ongsighted administration of town
affairs.
By its actions in office it will need to prove concusivey
that taxpayers getting full value for the extra 80 cents
hundred assessed for the privilege of living chartered
community.
The next two years in Rockville will provide a direct
will be content to hold Rocves unique place Montgomery
whether the town becomes part and parcel of the County
establishment.

Liquor on Wheels

We trust the County Councils decision sreamne the
liquor business in Montgomery County by setting up drive
in dspensary Silver Spring is not foreunner of things
to come for the County whole
We always been of the opinion there's truth in the
old chestnut that fire water and gasoline do not mix We also
have to believe that the business of few quick short
is here to stay We firm believers also in live and
let live.
On the other hand, reason for the County
Council to make it for mbbers by setting dvens
Liquor cannot be sold to minors who walk into dis
pensary for bottle We offer the though that dspensary
clerk will have difficult time distinguishing between many
minors and adult when it to sliding quick bottle
through window in order to keep the production line moving
We also offer the thought that carrying heavy
drinking load be distinguished much easier if he has
walk in door and get to dispensary counter We do not
believe that employee in dspensary window judge
whether is in condition to buy bottle of liquor We
cannot believe the County anxious to pedde bottle of
wskey that it will refuse to consider these pertinent points,
We believe the most fnger-pointng remark about the
dspensary in County Manager Beals glowing remark
that business will jump 500 percent by virtue of drvein
service.
Up to this time have felt the County has conducted
brought minimum of criticism We think however it has
too far in the matter of the DRIVEN spensary and
should lose no time reconsidering its action.
We believe Councilman Grover Walkers remarks two
weeks against setting up the drven pertinent and
pretty well voice the opinion of the majority of residents in
the county In gets fancy ideas about the
upcounty communities trust Mr. Walker will be around
to register long and loud protests in their behalf.

Delayed Action ZOni11g

We find ourselves in agreement with number of rate
citizens of Rockville who last week learned the Mayor and
Council had handed down surprise decision in the matter
of rezonng 212acre tract at Baltimore Road and First
Street The tract will be used for shopping center.
The towns governing body held hearing April 15 1853
which ten months ago, rezoning proposal by the
Lofsrand family At that time eleven residents of the
appeared and protested its erection while two spoke it's
favor
At the town meeting last week, although the rezonng
proposal not the agenda the matter brought
and passed with little and certainly inappropriate discussion
We understand residents presently circulating
petition of protest We further understand that number
them feel too much time elapsed between the hearing and
the decision and that residents should have been informed
that the matter to be taken by the town faheeven
at that late date.
We submit too much time DID elapse In view of this
the Mayor and Council should have called for additional data
which might have accumulated in nearly years time.
While we, well many other people, not informed
the towns master planning far zonng concerned
if any, wonder whether this particular rezoning is not
another example of spot zonng which WILL in the long
be detrimental to the orderly and natural development of the
community.

said such terms should be stag

is without two hold-overS, who
are familiar with work before
the body and who have had ex-
perience with procedures.
The town also should take steps
to insure closer cooperation with
the county government, Mr.. Hit
said, and an investigation should
be made in order to determine
what county services can be
made use of by the town in or

The sad but true fact is many residents of Mont

tons with several people who didn't know the Assembly

NelOs of the
General Assemble

Legislation in roduce by
Senator Lofstrand to give the
County a larger share of school
funds appears to be begged down
for this session. Senator Gold
stein of the powerful Senate
Finance Committee has said the
Lofstrand measures pr o b b y
won't reach the floor. Under the
Lofstrand proposals, assessments
would have been equaliZed among
the counties, so far as school
grants are concerned. Hi G h
assessments here have cut State
payments from building funds to
$4,000 and disqualified the coun-
ty from receiving money from the
equalization fund. Lofstrand was
trying for SGT 900 from the incen-
tive fund and $750,000 from the
equalization fund. Goldstein said
the Lofstrand legislation would
raise the record $238 million bud
get by an additional So million
and Legislators are not looking
kindly on anything to increase ex-
penSes.
Three of Governor McKeldin's
vetoS were over-ridden this week

Maryland College. They will cost
S250,000 each.
The House of Delegates has set
up for passage measure vetoed
by McKeldin last year-a bill to
hike the State liquor tax from
SIPS to $3.50. The bill would re-
turn so cents of the tax to the
counties and cost the State about

The Senate Judicial Proceed
ings Committee has under con-
sideraion a bill which is fast be-
coming known as the Delayed

mended by members of the

alimony years after their divorce.
In effect, the bill gives the court
continuing jurisdiction so that
divorced women can return to
court at any time and ask recon
