he has made. Visitors were made

Mr. Dickran Hovsepan and his running mates on the

In short Mr. Hovsepan, ct al pulled the pie right out Of

contained meat but dressed up as well with consider

We step up and say without duckng that the stated OBJ

posed approaches to them loaded with specific actions
which make sense-both and horse sense.
In our opinion Mr. Hovsepans program for government

approaches also worth than passing glance from

Dear Mr.. MahOney = PhOOey!

The editor of this newspaper is not to clap hands
for too many Democrats when lot of good Republicans
around who need to be clapped for.
ne-theess the editor would like y clap hands right
for Dr. H. c. Byrd Democratic gubenaora candidate,
whose Campaigning heels presently being yapped at by
his principal primary opponent, Mr.. George Mahoney.
Mr. Mahoney currently is running off at the mouth con-
corning Dr. Byrds management of the University of Mary
land
considerable number of people in these parts remember
when the University of Maryland secondrae nsttu
ton with "Oh, Yeah" football team which sometimes re-
ceived mention in sports sections of newspapers.
considerable number of people also in these parts know
the University of Maryland is fine and respected nst
tuition of learning with good scholastic and athletic standing
as well architectural credit to the state These things
because of the of gogetng guber
material candidate named Byrd who did manszed job while
doing his job.
In book Dr. Byrds fine ambitions and work on behalf
of the University have paid off substantial returns to the State
of Maryland and will continue to off long after this cleo
ton its candidates have crawed back into the woodwork
If Dr. Byrd is elected in November-and we hope he is

with the results. Also comment
was made by a number of shop
pers who said that they did not
realize that Rockville offered
such fine shopping opportunities.
One woman stated that when she
first came to live in Rockville
she had been able to make the
rounds of the stores which inter
ested her in a brief period, but
that during this sale she had
noticed that because of the wider
range of merchandise carried by
the merchants and the increase
in the number of stores she had
not been able to make a complete
circuit of the shops on Rockville
Day She added that she planned
to do as much of her shopping
as possible in Rockville now that
the stores were carrying items
that she previously had been
forced to buy out of town.
Commenting further on the
sale Mr.. Baxter said: 1--WE are
pleased with the result of this
one-day city.wide sale, and we
have learned much from it. We
know now that people who have
never shopped in Rockville be-
fore can be attracted to its stores
by a joint merchandising effort
in which all the merchants co.
operate. Our problem now is to
find the right combination of
days and business hours for more
such sales. We hope that the folk
who shop in Rockville, whether
they are new customers or old,
will assist us with their sugges-
tons and comments on how our
business establishments can bet.

in advance. He said the press and
public should be notified of all
emergency sessions"
What-NO Pie?
In an attempt to remove the
pie IN the sky stigma which
has been tackled onto the Good
Government candidates, Council
aspirant James Robertson said
there is no basis for the feeling
that he and his running mates
are dedicated to fancy parks"
and "other extravagances."
He said the slate is impressed
with the need for economy in
1.-THE expenditure of our tax dol
lars" especially in view of the
recently approved $1.3 million
bond issue.
1t is a duty of town govern
ment, Mr.. Robertson said, to en-
courage and assist in the de-
velopment of recreational facili-
ties insofar as reasonable and
sound expenditures permit.
If elected to office, Mr.. Robert
son pointed out that the Good
Government candidates expect to
set up a commission on recrea-
ton and parks which will act in
advisory capacity to the mayor
and council. He said the group
also expects to consult with
h urch les, civic associations,
schools, Parent Teacher groups,
and Women's clubs on recreation
needs.
Mr.. Robertson said he favors
swimming facilities in Rockville
but that such facilities should
not add to our tax burden. He
pointed out that other commune
ties have undertaken to provide
such things on a community
club basis. He said also that the
Good Government slate positive
ly will encourage commercial
recreation facilities"
Budget Matters
Alex Greene, also candidate
for Council, told the group 1--WE
do not believe that good gov
eminent necessarily means high
er costs" and that good govern
ment results from sound plan
ming and sound financing.
He said municipal construc-
ton programs should be planned
and presented on a yearly basis
and that priorities should be as
signed in public session"

ment candidates are pledged to

the amount of fare they paid.
The shopper, when he goes to
one of the stores participating in
the plan (names will be printed
on the coupon) will receive a 5
percent discount on his purchase
up to the value of the coupon.
For example, if a shopper pays
Is cents in bus fare, he can
then go to a participating store
and get $500 worth of merchan-
disc for $4.75. If he comes from

At the same time, the mayoral-

discuss "all the issues of this
election"

''meaningful document. He
sharply criticized the present
method OF approving town bills

Greene also said a basic traf-
flc plan must be established Tor
the town and that, if elected, the
Good Government slate will seek
outside advice on parking, street
lighting and ways and means to
cope with traffic problems which
may result from the cloverleaf
at the intersection of West Mont
gomery Avenue and the new Ma
tional Pike.
The Good Government slate
also favors acquisition of public
parking lots, Greene said, but
these should be put on a self
sustaining basis through a bust
ness tax and parking meter
revenues" He said the town
should consider in its planning a
belt parkway" around the COM
munity and pointed out that his
group expects to deal with grade
crossing problems which exist
here and the lack of sufficient
traffic lights.
This, Too
Before the meeting wound up,
mayoralty candidate Hovsepian
charged headlong into election
issues but emphasized that he
was not talking about individ-
ual characters on an individual
basis" He said the Good Gov
eminent group wants to keep
the campaign on issues.
In number of sweeping
charges leveled at the $1.3 mil
lion bond issue Mr.. Hovsepian
charged that the present mayor
and council had assured him in
public meeting that no final ac-
ton would be taken on the mat
ter of implementing the present
sewer and water supply without
a public hearing on the matter.
He said the mayor and council
have given him no satisfactory
answer on why final action was
taken without public meeting.

Editor,
Montgomery County Sentinel:
Please help a common little
citizen to understand this situa-
ton. The GIG. group have re-
peated time after time that they
didn't approve of doing things be-
hind closed doors. They had a
parade in our town, campaigning
for their slate.
They knew they had to obtain
permit for a loudspeaker and
for the parade. They obtained
the permit for the loudspeaker,
but did not get the permit for the
parade. They did that behind
closed doors. Are these the kind
of men we want to put in office in

Efficiency Pledged
Good Government council can.
didate Wendell Turner called for
immediate re-examination of city
operations to provide for more
efficiency, and said the town
presently goes along ION a day
by day basis.
Turner said the Good Govern
ment slate, if elected, expects to
define operational procedures; to
fix responsibility for employees
and that all town employees
must hold cooperative, helpful
attitudes toward the public. He
said the Good Government group
will insist that employees of the
town not participate in town poll
tics"
In discussing the Good Gov
eminent candidates plans for
city employees, Mr.. Turner said
they must be competent, eff
Gent, honest and should be of
professional status where requir-
ed. They also should have salar-
les commensurate with their du-
ties,, Mr.. Turner added.
Rockville should hire all it's
employees on a merit basis, Mr..
Turner said, and call employees
should be free of business en-
tanglements which might COM
promise them in their employ
ment."
One of the weaknesses of
Rockville, Mr.. Turner said, lies
in the fact that "the public
doesn't know what has gone on"
In this respect, he called for an
annual report" by the City
manager, and said that the 'laxi-
ty" which has existed in connec-
ton with the spending of pub
lie money" should be eliminated.
The candidate also called for
sealed bids to be opened in pub
lie at previously announced
times"
Ordinances COdified
Mr.. Turner said Ordinances of
Rockville are in such condition
today" that no one can find any
thing. He called for codification
of all ordinances and said the
responsibility for the job is up
to the towns attorney.

say the authoritarian mind is
preoccupied with duties, while the
