The growth of any geographical
area, such as our 9th Maryland
District, depends on many factors.
There is, of course, a natural pop
ulation increase. Then, there is
the attraction a regions advant-
ages offer to men and women and
their families. These advantages
take many forms; for some it
is the opportunity to raise a fam
lily in a progressive, quiet, subur-
ban section; for others it means
opportunities for employment in
industry.
1 am frequently asked how a
community can persuade new
industries to move into an area.
Despite the many exceptions
which may come to mind, which
in a sense prove the rule, it is
the attractiveness of the COM
munity itself which draws a
new industry and makes paid
publicity campaigns successful.
By attractiveness / mean the
physical and spiritual assets
which a community has to Of
fer.
Among the physical features a
community can offer to prospec-
tive industry is an ample trans
portation system. This means not
only good roads and highways,
but roads on which traffic is
well regulated and policed. 1t
means plentiful supply of good
water. 1t means generally we'll

lice forces. l know that one does

DalUsOns of Rockville Gre1U up
With Wild Vest Sioux Indians

Pine Ridge many times since
moving back East and have
found their Indian friends ecking
out an existence posing for tour
list pictures or appearing in &C.
casional Western movies.
The Indian relics appear the
work of skilled craftsmen. Joe
explains how to differentiate be-
tween tourist-directed Indian
items and genuine tribal trap
pings. "The real Indians use
dried sinew for thread"
Hanging about the Dawsons'
house are beaded tobacco pouch
Is, papoose bags, prayer rugs,
and saddle blankets. Joe explains,
Each Indian tribe had its own
special design it used on all bead
work"
Modern women are lucky they
don't have to wear garments like
the squaw dresses hanging at
the DaWsons. The dresses are so
heavy they are difficult to lift!
They are made of thick buck
skin, ornamented with pounds of
beads.
One of the most impressive rel.
les is an entire buffalo skin
stretched and painted by Henry
Standing Soldier. The series of
drawings supposedly depicts an
epic Indian battle.
Standing about the Dawson
house are stuffed eagles, coyote
heads, praire chickens, and ca
gles-attesting to Father Henry's
hunting skill.
Rose used to have a collection
of Indian war bonnets and eagle
feathers from which the bonnets
were made "but the moths got
into them"
Among the more gruesome rel.
les are gun used at the Wound
ed Knee battle, a shield made
from stiff hide, a medicine mans
herb-bag necklace, tomehawks
with sharp horn heads, and saw
edged arrows supposedly dipped
in poison.
Trophies of Battle
Most gruesome of all is the war
shirt of Chief Young Man Afraid
of His Horses. Its hung with real
scalps!
When Wild West shows were
popular the Dawsons often saw
their old friends in Washington.
Rose and Joe both speak little
of the Sioux language. Joe points
out though, when there are
people around talking, the In.
dams pretend they don't under
stand English"
Once the Dawsons went to the
Buffalo Bill show in Washington.
The procession was circling the
ring when an Indian recognized
his old friends-the first people
he'd known on the tour-and
stopped. The Indian wouldn't
bulge until Henry Dawson yelled,

after the show"

Says Better Manners Are
Essential to Highway Safety

Highway safety would be aid
ed considerably if motorists
thought more about the results
of bad driving manners, accord
ing to Edward p Curran, Safety
Director of Keystone Automobile
Club.
Drivers probably don't mean
to be diScourteous," he declares,
but far too frequently they are
and their discourtesy in many
cases leads to disaster. AS an
actual case in point, let us con-
slider the discourteous driver who
took up two spaces in parking.
Another motorist seeking a
place pushed the first machine
forward several feet. Then, the
first parker returned and used
his car to push the other back
ward and onto the sidewalk, in
juring an elderly woman.
Other quite common dis
courtesies include double parking,
refusing to let another driver
pass, incessant horn blowing, re-

fusing to recognize pedestrians
rights, failing to give hand sig
nails when stopping or turning,
and jumping the gun at traffic
lights.
"All these are dangerous pracs
tees as well as being bad man
ners. One future illustration
should help drive the point home.
A motorist refused to let a doctor
pass while the latter was hurry
ing to the scene of an accident.
Subsequently the drivers license
was suspended, but probably of
more lasting effect was the
motorists realization that his
discourtesy might have cost a
human life.
"Many similar instances could
be cited, but we believe these
are enough to clearly show that
discourtesy leads to disaster and
that good manners on the high
way are just as necessary and
as desirable as in the home or
at the office"
