Protest Lack
Of Protection
For Cemetery

There are apparently 16 in
trepid families willing to move
into ain apartment building which
stands next to cemetery. And
there's no fence between!
The new Free State Apart
ments, 302 Frederick Avenue,
Gaithersburg, are completely
rented. The building, built by Jo-
seph G. Berlin, abuts the Forest
Oak Cemetery.
The biggest fear of residents
is not that well, spirits, will
get out. They all urge a fence
between the cemetery and the
building so that children can't
play hide and seek among the
tomb stoneSi
Typical comments of residents
of the new building are:
Mrs. Gladys Arundel: 1T isn't
at all depressing to me. 1 think
it's very attractive cemetery"
Mrs. Betty Lehman: my child
isn't old enough to play outside
alone yet but l think they should
put up fence to keep the kids
out of the cemetery. Otherwise,
l never even think about it. They
DO make nice, quiet neighbors."
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Hawkins:
They should put a fence up. A
cemetery is not playground"
Mrs. Eula Moring: "The ceme-
terry doesn't bother me. 1 do
think it should be fenced, though
At least on the side next to the
apartment"
Mrs. Margarie McManious:
Before we moved here 1 thought
a cemetery next door might be
disturbing. But it doesn't bother
me-"
Mrs. S. A. Lynn, resident man.
ager: Il don't mind the cemetery

want kids running over any grave
plots l owned. Of course it's up
to the parents to keep their kids
out of there. 1 thought Mr.. Ber-
lin was supposed to put up a
fence"
Mr.. Berlin says he offered to
split the price of a dividing fence
with the Forest Oak Cemetery
Association but heard nothing
more from them. The builder
says he plans to plant five foot
lockwood hedge between the Free
State and the cemetery as soon
as the weather is favorable for
transplanting probably o.
tober.
An asphalt driveway leading
from Frederick Avenue to a rear
parking lot is all that separates
the building and the cemetery.
Many headstones are just 10 feet
from the apartments. In the
rear play area children's swings
and sand boxes are only yards
from the graves.

Mr.. Belt says his job calls for

before setting bail or collateral.

Peace Norman A. Belt says he's
more likely to be awakened at
3 am. to issue a warrant to a
bruised wife than to marry an
clipping young couple.
Issue most of my warrants
on the weekendS," says the J. p.
Seems like most husbands beat
their wives on Sunday night OF
course, in a couple of days, when
they've made up, the wife comes
back and wants to withdraw the
warrant"
In Maryland, a Justice of the
Peace cannot perform a mar
riage But he's called on to do
most everything else.
A few weeks ago Senator Will
liam A. LANCER, of North Dakota,
and his executive secretary were
picked up for crossing a double
white line on Route 240 and were
brought into Mr.. Belt. He set
collateral at $6.45. "The Senator
certainly was very nice about it.
He shook my hand and every
thing" remembers the j. P.
Then there was the young
couple brought to Mr.. Belts
house Christmas week, 1852. The
boy was a bit tipsy so his girl
friend had decided to drive back
from a party. She was stopped
and charged with driving without
a license. Mr.. Belt set collateral
and was then faced with the pro-
blem: who was going to take the
youngsters home? The boy was
still too drunk to drive and if
the girl took the wheel, she'd be
arrested again.
Solution: Mr.. Belt and his
wife worked all night with black
coffee and cold towels to sober
the youngSter up and at dawn he
was able to drive again.
Once the county police set up
a radar device to check speeders
and the J. P. had his busiest day:
20 cases and 5000 in collaterals
collected
Mr.. Belt remembers that one
night he was awakened three
times to hear cases and in the
morning "a colored woman was
sitting on the front porch wait
ing for me to issue a warrant"
He once set collateral at S6.45
for a minister who had been
picked up on a minor traffic
violation. The preacher didn't
have that much money! Mr..
Belt could have sent him to Jail.
Instead he lowered the collateral,
This is a game you can't make
any set rules for" eXclaims the
j. p.
Mr.. Belt is one of the county's
81 J. P.s. A recent test case clari-
fled the committing magistrate
powers Of the Justices of the
Peace.
In criminal cases they listen to
the accusation, and question the
accused. Then they can either re-
lease the prisoner, or set bail and
send him to jail.
The ]. p. sets collateral in all
traffic violations involving out-of-
State drivers. He also sets the
date of trial.

'Guise for Appeasement'
He charged that the "belli-
cose" Formosa resolution oil
Ie>y this year was but a guise
for concealing a policy Of ap-
Ipeasement and retreat"
He added:
The resolution was inter-
Ipreted to give the President
power to defend Formosa and
adjacent areas: but 1t was so
worded as to give the President
authority not to defend the
Formosa area-which is what
the administration proceeded
to do.
"The Congress was thus de-
ceived. and unanswered into a
position where it could only look
on reSentfully as the new ap-
peasement unfolded."
Senator Mccarthy declared
bitterly that lin two short years
"a war of liberation had become

an aggressive war. He re-
ferred specifically to Mr.. Eisen-
hower's statement that the
United States would not be a
party to an aggressive war-a
statement made in reply to q
news conference question or
whether the United States would
support an attempt by Chang
Kai-shek to liberate the Chinese

Today, when there are so many
varied outside interests which all
have a decided tendency to keen

ODD Fellowship can continue to
exist only by the interest YOU take
in it.

many men would rather stay at
home and look at a televisiOn pro

of their lodge. / am also aware of
the fact that game of canasta or

make your meetings so interesting

NO one can force any man to do

We are NOT trying to force men to
