A formal social gathering wasV
arranged for honoring a most sue
cessful business man. By his own
efforts he had risen to head a great
industrial empire. He was engaged
in conversation by rather haugh-
ty young lady who sought to i'm
press the guest of honor with her
ancestry breeding.
"Oh, yes" she said, eve have
royal blood in our veins. We spring
from the royalty of England. What
stock do you spring from ?"
81 sprang from the Hogans,"
the business man said simply. "And
we didn't spring from anyone. We
sprang at them"
Good ancestry should make it
easier to achieve purpose in life.
But, if the glory of our ancestors
is our only claim for recognition,
our decendents will never be proud
of us. Good ancestry is a demand
to accept greater responsibility. 1t
is not an excuse for being. 1t is
much better to forage ourselves
into ancestors of whom our de-
cendents will be proud. There is no
better time to start than now =
with a fresh, new day. You write
today's history as you live it. Do
it in a manner that will inspire
those who follow to live up to =
not on an ancestors glory.

Bethesda Public Library
Criticized as Inadequate

Lack of books and staff in the
Bethesda Public Library is caus-
ing concern to the library's ad-
visory committee, according to
Robson Heap. committee chair
man.
In a letter to the County Lii
brary Board recently, Mr.. Heap
said the committee had received
numerous complaints from users
of the library about the made
quacy Of its services.
The chief complaint, he
pointed out. is that there are not
enough books. Another is that
the staff, though competent and
willing. is insufficient to provide
advisory and reference services
of the type expected.
Mr.. Heap said the situation to
a large extent results from the
big increase in the use of the
library during the past year.
The Bethesda, Library is now
a branch Of the Department Of
Public Libraries of Montgomery
County. The new library build
ing on Moorland lane was made
possible by the joint contribu-
tions Of the Bethesda Public
Library Association and the
county.

action from the head Of the

proved successful since the Com
missioners approved integration

The union, Capt. Tacey said.

The Commissioners were sum-
moned to the Capitol to explain
the action to three Southern

tomorrow at Rockville.
In an announcement mailed
out by School Superintendent
Forbes H. Norris, it was pointedly
noted that the meeting was not

up a professional staff. He said
the teacher supply is not keeping
up with demands created by
increasing enrolment.

superintendent noted the teach
ing staff in the county had in
creased from 603 in 1945 to 1884
in 1858 and the percentage of
