Editor
Montgomery County Sentinel:
I have observed the County
Council in session several times
in recent months. 1 am sur
prised that the county press has
not recognized the change in COM
plexity of the responsibilities of
the Council to the point of requir-
ing the attendance of the men,
bers at upwards of 100 meetings
a year - executive, legislative,
special sessions and sundry hear
ings.
While the county has under.
gone extensive development and
growth in general, we require the
Council to give their time for the
most part without compensation.
When the Charter was drafted
$40 per day was possibly ade'
quate compensation for a session.
A look at the changes-particu-
larly as to the top executives
in the Federal Government pay
structure readily points to the I'M
fair demands we make on our
Council.
Likewise, the original Charter
contemplated something in the
order of 20 to Is days spent in the
executive sessions and specifical'
ly provided they should meet "at
least once in each calendar
month"
Most of us could not afford to
serve the county. If we are to
get the best qualified citizens to
volunteer to run, we can't ap
proach them with a proposition
that puts it Eat their expense"
Obviously, an incumbent Coun
Gil is reluctant to recommend ar
increase. If, however, the press
and the public were behind a pro
posal to increase their compensa
ton, they would probably feel
little better about including ar
item on the ballot. This would
of course, require action in the
next few weeks.
In conclusion, it's a little un
reasonable to say that those re
sponsible for spending $4,000,
600 of our money are only worth
a maximum of 81 1900 a year. Tt
keep 1t from becoming a full time
position, the total salary must bC
kept down, but a $500 ceiling
with the elimination of the $40
day limitation would seem to b.
reasonable.

ing hearings over to the County
board of appeals failed to pass
last May when the move stirred
opposition of County residents.
In other actions, the Council
agreed to continue hearings on an
Arlington road front foot benefit
project on which the County was
tentatively upset by Circuit Court
Judge Stedman Prescott.
Judge Prescott in a recent rul-
ing held assessments for street
improvement project abutting
three properties illegal because
they did not include special bene-
fits to some of the assessed prop
erty owners.
Mrs. Stella B. Werner urged
that the whole street assessments
controversy be aired in court.
A proposal to establish a Sec
ondary Bethesda fire station on
the National Institutes of Health
at Cedar Lane and Old George
town road got a stormy going
over during a two-and-a-half hour
public hearing.
Proponents argued that the
new station would be a credit to
the neighborhood and would ex-
tend fire services to the unpro.
tected North Bethesda area.
Opponents said it would knock
down property values and was
too close to the present station on
Old Georgetown road to be of
much use.

Editor:
The growing volume of litter
along Americas streets and high
ways, in its parks and on its
beaches, concerns everyone who
takes pride in the appearance of
his community. What was a mi.
nor nuisance only a few years
ago has become major problem.
Here and there individual citi-
zens or groups have undertaken
to combat the litter problem local
ly. In some areas, notably Cali.
fornia, this activity has assumed
statewide proportions. A few ma.
tional organizations - among
them the National Council OF
State Garden Clubs, for which ]
am privileged to speak as presi.
dent-have recognized the ser
iousness of the situation and
have urged that anti-litter activi,
ties be Incorporated in the action
programs of their member
groups at state and local levels.
The public interest in these in
dependent efforts indivates a
widespread desire for an anti
litter plan that can be applied to
the entir6 nation.
1t is most encouraging, there
fore, to find that a group of the
nations foremost industrial lead
ers not only share our concern
but have taken an aggressive
step toward the elimination OF
litter from sthe American scene.
I refer to the recent organiza
ton announcement of KeeI
America Beautiful, Inc, a non
profit corporation established fol
the express purpose of combat
ing litter. For the benefit Of
those of your readers who may
not know of this new organiza
ton would like to explain that
it represents a joint effort by in
dustry and citizen groups to cope
with the litter problem on a ma
tional basis.
It's program has three principal
detectives:
Ito create a public aware
ness of litter and of the individ
uars responsibility for it.
2-To stimulate widespread
public participation in cleaning
up existing litter.
$40 prevent future litter by
a combination of education, pub
lie opinion pressure and law en-
forcement.
Industry is contributing gener
ously, not only in financial sup
port but from its technilogica
resources and ingenuity, to in
sure success of the program
more than 80 national organiza
tons, including my own, have &C
cepted the responsibility of rep
resentation of an Advisory Coun
Gil to work with the industrial
leaders who constitute the di
rectorate of Keep America Beau
tiful, Inc.
They, and we, recognize tn,
necessity for the widest possibl,
public knowledge and under
standing of the aims and PLAN
of our new organization. W.

Happy Birthday POOlesUille

One hundred and fifty years ago, John Poole gave his
to small community nestled between majestic Sugar
Loaf Mountain and the Potomac river.
Since the town has survived Civil War forays and dis
astrous fires.
On Saturday. thanks to the ewy-formed Poolesvile
Board of Trade, spotlight will be turned its birthday
celebration, probably attracting visitors from all the
State.
Our pride in Pooesvlle was well spoken some time ago
in poem by Folger McKinsey We repeat it here:
Not far away old Sugar Loaf
Rears lofty to the Skies
And through Montgomerys rolling fields
The voice of beauty flies.
Not far away Potomac flows
And the old canals asleep
And every garden has a
And here the old dreams creep.
Old churches, gentle memories,
Schools stores and all
The fragrance of the old estates
With stained and vied wall
Phantoms of wars long fought and done,
The saber's CLEAN, the shot
And shadows of old village folk
None have forgot.
Oh, village mid the miles of wheat
The corn, the rye, the grass,
No longer through your ancient road
The numbering coaches pass
But ever looking down on you
The mountains guard your rest
Sweet Poolesvile with rose to dream
Upon your quiet breast
Visitors to Poolesville always are struck by curious
fact:
Many of its residents very old.
One of them summed it up this way:
eve take it easy, no hurrying around Maybe that's
If that philosophy could be spread around the world it
might be peaceful place to live in
PoolesviIe-happy birthday!

Wash Your
Fresh Fruits

Most fresh fruits have been
sprayed; many of them with
preparation which contains eth
er lead or arsenic, and for this
reason the fruit should be wash
ed before it is eaten DR.. Joseph
G. Molner. commissioner OF
health, advises.
In addition 10 the spray used
on the fruit itself. il 2. I'D is
used 10 spray weeds in the or
chard. some may get on the
fruit.
DR.. Molner reminds parents
that fruit is desirable, deli.
cious addition TO the daily die'
and there is no cause for concern
about eating it. Simply wash the
fruit. eat il and enjoy it. Wher
possible. use running water anc
sec that the blossom and the
stem end both are washed.
Even if the fruit is to be peel
cd later, it is desirable to wash
it before you put it in the refrig
orator. In this way, the ice boz
raider will be protected.
The instances Of food poisoning
which occurred recently were
not caused by spray on fruit. II
was due to the most frequently
reported cause Of summer FOOD
poisoning potato salad not ade-
quately refrigerated.
