realize that passing is possible
at only very few places on our
road and that it is necessary to
stop at, or back up to, these
places if both cars are to get by
without mishap. Because the
stranger was coming downhilI he
escaped getting stuck. But what
of the three who were going in
the other direction?
The condition of this road has
been brought to the attention of
various County employees and
officials. During the days of the
County Commissioners and sub.
sequently the County Council, we
have been led to expect some
relief. So far little has been re.
ceived.
After 8 years of begging and
pleading with the employees and
officials of our County to little
avail, I still have faith. The
County employees and officials
are, after all, the employees and
servants of the people of Mont
gomery County. 1t is the peoples
money which they spend and it
is the wishes of the people that
they are bound by duty to carry
out.
For this reason, l appeal to the
citizens of Montgomery County.
I have faith in your. ability to do
what is right. In you 1 believe.

The Sentinel February d car.
ried large advertisement by the
Citizens or Good Government
setting forth the very laudable
aims of this group-essentially
good, clean democratic govern
ment-and announcing that this
group would present a list of
candidates for the offices of
Mayor and Council at our May
election. On February 9Th, this
group held a meeting to deter
mine, among other things, the
method to be used in selecting
the slate of candidates. The pur-
pose of this letter is to criticize
the method of selection which
was finally adopted.
1t seems probable that "Citi-
zens for Good Government" was
forced to precipitate action by
the recent announcement of the
very able and popular Warren
]. -Milor as mayoral candidate,
for one might have expected
more deliberate action. Neverthe-
less, the decision was made that
elected representatives of "Citi-
zens for Good Government"
would meet with deliberately
unnamed Representatives of (de-
liberately) undisclosed groups to
select a slate to be automatic
ally) supported by Citizens for
Good Government"
This controversial procedure,
which would seem to the writer
the antithesis of democracy, is
scheduled to lead to the selection
of slate on the 18th of this
month. 1t was pointed out that
good candidates were hard to
find and those in attendance at
the February 9Th meeting were
urged to suggest to the nominal
ing group potential candidates
for the nominations.
Now it is not the object of this
letter to suggest that it is i'm
proper for any group to choose
a slate in any way it may wish,
and having met certain minimum
requirements, to present this
slate to the people on election
day. That is done routinely by
political groups throughout the
country.
Citizens for Good Govern.
ment," however, has arisen spon-
taneously as the result of a crisis
resulting from inadequate town
planning, and is comprised of
some of the most sincere and
civic minded people in the COM
munity, who command the re-
spect of all the towns voters.
The assumption is implicit-and
indeed, I am sure these men
sincerely wiSh-that the slate
presented by "Citizens for Good
Government be the best talent
available, and truly represent

Candidates and Votes

Rockville residents have shown sudden surge in the
government of their town by producing number of cand
dates for public office three months before eecton-an
precedented happening
Ten of the candidates are committed to two States The
eleventh has announced his candidacy the mayors job
has said he will deliver his running mates shortly
Formation of still another slate is being rmored around
the listening postsbut best believe this group will
not be flushed until shortly before election.
Be that it may, submit-nay, shout out loud
the fact that many residents have said the open they
will run for office is the heathest development to to
Rockville since bunch of courageous met in old Hunger
fords Tavern back 1774 and sounded of the first calls
to freedom given in taxburdened colony of Great Britain
We applaud each and every stawart who has permitted
his to be presented to the voters We may agree
with all of them in aims and detectives but in full
agreement with their vcmnded offer to the town at
time when the going is bound to be rough and politics
bound to be bit the odorerous side when the chips 90
down.
We supporting candidates slate of candidates
but we are here to state supporting the of eff
cent and the of all those who stand fast
for all things which will make the community better place
in which to live. Orchards who say improvements
necessary and the town gets along very well it is label
themselves uniformed and as members of group that
has belief the hardy spirit which has made this nation
the strongest and most progressive in the world.
The announcement of slates however, need not dis
courage individuals who also want to for public office in
Rockville The way things look from end of the town
square slate has monopoly all five elective offices at
this time and independents have good chance those
who have banded together to present themselves and their
detectives.
We say-the the rnerrier! Yoicks and talyho!
Longve civic spirit in good and prosperous community.
Civic interest, might add does not end with candi
dates Rockville with its still growing population of around
10000 has but 1900 registered voters out of potential 1000
These potential voters need to shed ethargy and HE
themselves off to the nearest registration point the last part
of March and in the first week of April when egbes
get their names the registration books.
1t much the responsibility of citizens to vote as is
for governing talent to raise its head for the benefit of voters
Residents who do not register and vote not only toss
away their hardwon brhrght American citizens but they
leave the doors to any and all who bank American
ethagy in voting booths to put sometimes nefrous
aims and doctrines Numerically opposed the American
cept of life The American concept such is not on trial
our local election but the spirit behind that concept and
shall be until all citizens recognize their civic responsibilities
in this respect.
