Especial to The Citizeno
NEW YORK A special
study undertaken by the De-
partment of Commerce, COW
ering every section of the
United States, shows that
there are fewer units of gov.
eminent in operation in Mon
roe County, relatively, than
in most counties.
These governing agencies, in the
form of school districts, sanitary,
water and fire districts, and incor-
porated towns, villages and cities,
form the bedrock of democracy.
What happens at this level, be
it decision on new bond issue
for schools or money for an irri-
cation district, affects the local Gle
tizen intimately. What happens in
Washington is important, of course
but more remote.
5 Units Listed
In Monroe County, the survey
shows, there were governmental
units as of January, 1853. They
consisted of the county govern
ment itself and those of one NUM-
cipality, one school district and 2
special districts.
In terms of population, it a.
mounts to Is governments per TO-.
900 people.
This was less than the average
elsewhere in the United States,
where there were IA agencies per
10000 people. In the South Allan
tic States it was 1.8 per 10000.

city authorities nor the federal
government has taken any effec-
tive punitive action against the
mobsters, many Of whom do not
live in the project.
The NAACP spokesman called
Mr.. Brownell's attention to the
federal statute which provides pen
alties for the destruction of gov
ernment-owned property. Persons
convicted under this law may be
fined $4,000 and sentenced to 10
years in prison. The attorney gen.
eral was asked to invoke this law
against the instigators of mob vio-
lence in the Chicago area.
Warning that if the Trumbull
Park affair gets out of hand it may
develop into another Cicero riot,
Mr.. White told the attorney gen.
eral that this situation is "only
part of the larger housing problem
which has been aggravated by the
policy of such government agen-
cieS, as the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, the Veterans Admin
iStration. the Public Housing Au-
thority and the slum clearance pro-
gram which continue to give fed
eral assistance to housing planned
for the exclusive use of one race"
The NAACP leader cited Levitt
town in Long Island and in Penn
sylvania as examples of lily-white
communities built with mortgage
money insured by the FILA. The
attorney general was also told of
unavailig efforts last year by the
NAACP to secure from Albert
Cole, Housing and Home Finance
Administrator, a firm commitment
to initiate a policy of no govern
nent assistance for segregated
housing.

NEW YORK, (GlobaD-
Dear Miss Ball:
| have been going with fellow
who is twelve years my senior. He
seems to like me and enjoys my
company, but never takes me out.
If we talk about marriage and the
family, etc. (even in general
terms) he "clams up" Being older
l have few contacts and the ones
available are not quite to my liking
for a husband.
l wonder what | can do. He has
never been married. Do you think
there is any hope for me? We
have been going together about
three years.
Toby, Nashville.
Dear Toby:
To give you pat" answer
would be wrong. Only you can de-
termine whether there is truly
any hope. Getting a man requires
all of a woman's skills. Some men
are selfish = they want to have
their cake and eat it too A man
who has never married does not
realized the happiness, contentment
or peace that he is missing. He is
afraid of the responsibility and
other obligations. You know, one
always fears the unknown.
Frequently Cor in most cases. a
man is reluctant to give up his
freedom" | am told one has to
push them a little while letting
them believe that it was their
.dea. You must first determine for
yourself whether or not he is the
man for you. Once that has been
decided, plan your Campaign"
wisely and we'll. (All's fair in love
and warD
The age difference is only as i'm
DOrtant as you two make it. Dis
cusS it before marriage; arrive at
4 definite understanding, and live
accordingly. Some of the ideal
marriages are of the June and
January" type.
Cultivate some other possibilities,
just in case.
