The New Rockcrest Citizens
Association held it's monthly
meeting in the Twinbrook School
Auditorium Mar. 18th. The guest
speaker, Stanley Keith, Neighbor-
hood Commissioner of the Boy
Scouts, spoke at length on the
functions of scouting and the
problems confronted in organic
ing new cub scout pack for
the boys in Rockcrest with a spe-
cial emphasis on the fact that
it is a program for parents to
conduct to develop their childrens
self reliance, skills and character.
The association passed a mo-
ton to investigate the possibility
of sponsoring a cub scout pack
for boys in our community be-
tween the ages of 8 and II and
a three man organizational COM
mittee is to be appointed In the
mean time all parents interested
in becoming active in the organi-
cation and leadership of a cub
scout pack should contact either
Mr.. Fitzpatrick at GA. 4-8261 or
Mr.. Mcmillan at Pc. 2-6627.
1 should like to point out that
no special talents need be posses
sed by any parent to become a
scout leader or a den parent as
all persons selected for these du-
ties will be given training and
assistance by qualified represent
atives of the National Organiza-
ton of Boy Scouts. For the bene-
fit of all the children in the af-
fected age group in our communi-
ty we urge your participation in
this undertaking.

Health for All

Suppose you were spending to-
day in bed. You think you'd like
that? But suppose you had spent
yesterday in bed, and knew you'd
be in the same place tomorrow,
and many tomorrows? Look
around you at the four walls of
your bedroom and try to imagine
how you would get through
weeks and months of it.
There are hundreds of thous-
ands of your fellow Americans
facing this problem. They are the
victims of chronic diseases such
as tuberculosis. With modern
drug and, in some instances, sur
gical treatment of tuberculosis,
many patients can leave the hos.
pital after a certain point in their
treatment has been reached and
finish their convalescence at
home.
These new developments in
TB treatment are a great boon
to TB patients and their families.
Not only have they saved thous-
ands of lives, but they have short
ened the heartbreaking long sep
aration of families that had to
happen when rest in a TB hos
pital was practically the only sue
cessful way to treat TB.
Even when patients can leave
the hospital early, there are spe-
cial problems. The TB patient at
home is still a patient. The new
drugs have lessened the possibili-
ty that he may pass his disease
on to other members of his FAM
lily, but precautions against in
lection must still be taken. He
may still need lots of rest, for
the drugs can do no more than
give his diseased lung a chance
to heal itself.
There must be a reStful atmoS-
phere in the home. The patient
must be protected from anxiety,
because worry can seriously hind
err his recovery. Well-meaning eff
forts of friends and relatives to
cheer him up" may do more
harm than good.
With all these problems, the
family needs expert help in or
ganizing the home so that the
advantages of being at home can
play their full part in speeding
recovery. Help is available. The
doctor, the public health nurse,
social agencies in the community,
and, of course, the local tubercu-
losis association stand ready to
help TB patients and their fami-
| lies.

(The following letter was for
warded to the SENTINEL by
Mrs. j. Alfred Kay who re-
quested its publication as a
means of thanking the many
residents of the area who as
sisted the recent "TOys for
Tots" drive. - EditOr.)
Dear Mrs. Kay:
1t is with the utmost gratifica-
ton that l report to you the un-
qualified success of our "Toys for
Tots" program for 1854. During
the program we received the en-
thusiastic support of all with
whom we came in contact. With
this support we collected a total
of 1898 toys. The distribution
and breakdown of these toys is
shown in the attached table.
AS we see it, many children
and charity groups received toys
this year who might otherwise
have been without. AS you can
we'll imagine, too large a percent
age of the toys collected were in
need of repair. Of the total only
53,643 were good enough to be
given away at Christmas. The bal
ance were given either to settle
ment homes for repair and group
use or to agencies undertaking
repair projects.
The desire of the charity
groups and Christmas Bureaus
was to give a minimum of one
large toy and some tsocking fill
ers to each child. In the majority
of the cases this was accom-
plished. However, to make Christ
mas as Merry as it should be we
intend to keep increasing our an
nounced goals until each child
has several large toys and until
Christmas is as joyous as we can
make it.
Those of us working in the
Toys for Tots" program would
like to express to you and those
working with you our heartfelt
thanks for your wonderful as
sistance and cooperation which
contributed so greatly to our sue
cess. We hope that with your CO.
operation, our next years pro-
gram will be even more success
full.
With sincere appreciation i re-
main,
Sincerely yours,

City Library Unit Explains
Rejection of County Merger

In view of the fact that Rock
vile taxpayers pocketbooks will
be affected, the Rockville Library
Association wishes to give Rock
Williams some background on our
recent decision to use every
means possible to continue our
Rockville Library as an indepen-
dent home town operation.
In turning down the Montgom.
cry County Library Directors in
vitation to join the county library
system, members of the Associa.
ton believe they acted to bring
better and more complete library
service to Rockville, while at the
same time preserving the atmos
phere and attitudes which have SO
endeared our own Library to its
users.
Association members have
known for some time that a
change in the Library's status was
coming. The question of joining
the county system has been de-
bated at the Associations annual
meeting for the past three years,
and last year considerable discus
sion was heard on a plan to erect
a wing on the present structure
to house the expanding Library
expanding because Rockville
is expanding.
Because of legal difficulties,
however, the Trustees of the Ii
brary Association felt that con-
sideration should he given to other
means of acquiring more space
before proceeding to attempt
erecting wing. a list of several
alternative possibilities was sent
to members before the annual
meeting in January.
&. Also Incorporated in the letter
was a study of the real library
needs of Rockville, which turned
up a great need for at least two
branch libraries: one in Lincoln
Park and one in the Twinbrook-
East Rockville area. The POSSIBLE
ity of eventual city bookmobile
service was touched on.
At the annual meeting, mem
bers discussed the courses of &C
ton presented as alternatives by
the Trustees, and ended by adopt
ing ALL of them, in a priority
order. A copy of the plan was
forwarded to the Mayor and Coun-
ell as recommendations from the
Library Association, and it is ex-
pected that hearing on at least
some phases of the plan will be
held at City Hall in the near
future.
Because of the great population
area to be served, Association
members felt that only a city Ii
brary would be able to serve
Rockville properly with branches
where needed. The county library
system has offered noS plan for
branch service in Rockville.
The only library structure dis
cussed by county library officials
for the Rockville area is a central
library building, somewhere in the
center of town, which would have
the primary function of ware
housing the county book stock.
Serving Rockville library patrons
would be merely a secondary
function.
Since the building thought of
for this purpose would cost in the
neighborhood of half a million
dollars, the Association took a

pugnant." 1 agree with you one
hundred percent, sir. But do you
realize that of the three thousand
retail liquor merchants in Mary.
land, Montgomery County is the
largest retail merchant of us all,
and that it is the only one sell.
ing below fair trade retail price?
Don't you think that if you were
one of the other three thousand
smaller merchants you would
consider this price-cutting com
bination repugnant, Mr.. Hyde?
l should like to direct your at.
tention to the ordinary and usual
practice of distribution in our
economic system of most pro-
ducts, including liquor, is from
producer to wholesaler, to retail
err, to consumer, and that is how
liquor is distributed in Maryland,
including the other six monopoly
counties, but with the exception
of Montgomery County. Why is
it fair for Montgomery County to
bypass the wholesaler and use
this advantage to cut prices
against the rest of US retailers?
If this is not "monopolistic COM
bination in restraint of normal
trade" please tell me- And most
important, the monopoly price
cutter is syphoning the desirable
case purchases from other coun-
ties in the state, thus obtaining
for itself the portion of the state
excise liquor tax rightfully be-
longing to the counties where
these purchasers reside and
would normally buy if prices
were equal.
am taking the liberty to quote
you further, "Our people chose
the county dispensary system in
1888 and don't propose to have
the distillers dictate to them as to
the method of selling their pro-
duct" You must certainly have
heard of the Federal Fair Trade
Act. This reads to me as if you,
lawmaker, are not only condon-
ing but advocating breaking the
law.
1t is my opinion that Montgom-
cry County is the transgressor in
each instance in violating the
State Fair Trade consumer price
scale, and in attempting to cir
cumvent the usual and accepted
method of distribution.
1t is my further opinion that
the distillers are endeavoring to
do the other three thousand re-
! tailers in the state a great serv-
ice by at last requiring Montgom-
, cry County to buy their merch-
andiSe thru the same channels
available to their competitors.
And please answer this, Mr..
Hyde, what principals of Ameri-
can free enterprise advocate any
subdivision of government to be
in a commercial business compel
ing with Independent merchants
and taxpayers in the same state,
especially on an unfair price cut
ting basis? And if the county can
be in the liquor business, why
can it not be in the lumber bust
ness, the dairy business, coal
business, the insurance business
and so on?
Many of your constituents will
be interested in your viewpoint
on this matter, as we'll as the
Chambers of Commerce, the
Oranges, and various retail
merchants associations.
Awaiting the kindness of an
early reply with great interest.
