So far as I have been able
to learn, the laymen Of in
dividual Methodist churches
of Virginia did not request
ministers and other delegates
to the conference to represent
them in adopting resolutions,
ION the international level"
and 1t is inconceivable that the
delegates claimed to represent
100000 Virginia Methodists in
adopting the resolutions.
The creed of the Methodist
Church does not provide that
members of the church adhere
to or support all the political,
economic and social philoso-
ply of its ministers. as may
be expressed by them, individ-
ually. in groups. or as repre-
sentatives of various subdivi-
sionS and organizations of the
church. The church leaves
wide individual latitude and
does not attempt to strait
jacket the thinking of its
members relative to subjects
which are not considered es-
sential to the faith. AS a
Methodist, I do not support all
the resolutions, as reported in
The Star. and I believe there
are thousands of other Meth
odists in Virginia who do not.
Your correspondent, therefore.
Is evidently in error in stating
or implying that the resolu-
tions were based upon a rep
resentation of 100000 Method
lists in Virginia.

Library Controversy

Mrs. Isaac Goldberg's recent
criticism of the Library Coun-
Gil of Upper Chillum for being
loosely" organized came as
rather a shock. 1t was a source
of pride to me that civic
minded people from nine Or
ganizations could come to-
gether and exchange ideas in
a congenial atmosphere with
out the need Of strict parlia-
mentary procedure. At Mrs.
Goldberg's suggestion and with
her help, however, we shall
attempt to write a proper con-
stitution over the summer
months.
would like to point out
that we did support the pro-
posal of the Library Board for
countrywide library services,
including the plan for three
area libraries to be constructed
with county funds. When this
plan was not adopted, we
judged that no library services
would be available to our area
in a reasonable time unless
some other course were pur-
sued.
I would like to point out,
too. that we were told by the
Library Board that our COM
munity would have to supply
the library building and main
tenance of that building.
This led to a request to the
Department of Education that
consideration be given to a
library addition to Lewisdale
School, the request being based
on the precedent set by the
library addition to Accokeek
School, and the desire to econ
omize by making dual use of
land bought with public tax
money.
When we were advised of
the School Boards tentative
approval and had something
concrete to place before the
Library Board, we asked If we
might appear at a meeting
before that board. Thus, the
Library Board was presented
with the proposal at their very
next meeting, one week after
we had received notice from
the Department of Education.
AS to House Bill 464, it is
error to say that we sought the
addition Of library services to
this bill. since it was believed
by us and its author, Delegate
Sickles, to provide for such
services as introduced.
I would like to emphasize
again that the actions of the
Library Council of Upper Chill
lum have been based on our
sincere desire to obtain more
than a bookmobile a few hours
once a week.
