AFL organization, is holding a
meeting today for selection of
his three-man group. He would

idea Of throwing some light on

One of the problems of COM
pany seizure as envisioned in the

at yesterdays Senate District

would happen to suburban Mary

the District government takes
over the company.
Earlier it had been reported
that service would be dropped in

Wonts County Near

If the grass in Montgomery
County suburban parks is green
|er than it is in Prince Georges.
there's a good reason for it and
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
would like to remedy the situa-
ton.
Secretary Treasurer Jesse F.
Nicholson told the park commits
sioners. at a meeting yesterday
in Silver Spring, that funds for
park development and n1aintee
nance in Prince Georges are low
HE recommended 2-cent tax
rise in the Metropolitan district
lof the county.
Park funds from taxes IN
Montgomery amount to more
than twice the tax sums collected
in Prince Georges. In the COM
missions area of Montgomery a
i7-cent park tax is levied. Com
mission officials estimate Mont
gomery revenue at $452, 300
derived from the 7-cent tax ap-
piled to $647 million assessable
base.
Yield of Sl77.5OO
However, the commission
pointed out that the present
/ scent tax In Prince Georges,
applied to an assessment base
of 1855 million. will yield an es-
ltimated $177.500.
Mr.. Nicholson gave other rea-
sons for the park money pinch
lin Prince Georges-higher debt
payments as the number of bond
issues increases, higher costs
lstemming from acquisition OF
more parklands and the dwin-
ding of a special park fund.
In connection with the special
fund, the commission secretary
treasurer said the 1858, 900 ac-
quired from the sale of a West
Hyattsville tract two years age
will be spent by the end of the
current fiscal year.
| The Park commissioners indi-
Gated their approval of Mr..
INicholson's recommendation to
lraise the Prince Georges park
levy to the maximum 7-cent
level. Such tax increase would
lhave to be approved by Prince
Georges County Commissioners
and cannot be levied until next
year.

Cities Must End SIums
ToStoy Solvent, Cole Says

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 80 P.--
Albert M. Cole, administrator Of
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency. said yesterday that
cities which do not take across
the board" action to get rid Of
slums and blighted areas within
five years viii "face municipal
bankruptcy by 1885,"
BY Bankruptcy" Mr.. Cole
told the American Municipal AS
sociation. he meant that metro
poltan tax structures will not be
able to support the demands
on them.
In one city Of a million popu-
lation. he said, $6 is paid out to
cover the costs of vice. crime,
fires and disease for every tax
dollar collected in the slum dis
tricts.
Addressing delegates to the
meeting Of municipal officials,
Mr.. Cole said a rapid increase
in population after 1860 will
bring additional demands on city
resources that cannot be met
unless the present heavy cost
of slums is eliminated.
Cites Southwest Project.
Mr.. Cole dealt extensively with
the Southwest redevelopment'
project in Washington. He said
the relocation of families who
used to live in Area B had been
handled magnificently.
The portion Of the Southwest
Washington section marked for
first attention consists of 76I
acres designated Area b. he ex-I
planned.
about 1900 families lived
there, most Of them in conditions
Of filth and misery. Ninety seven
per cent of them were Negro
families. All of them had to be-
moved.
"The first job was to sell the
idea. Many of them liked the
thought of getting into the bet-
ter quarters that still had to be-
found. But most Of them we're
reluctant to leave the part Of
town with which they had their
social ties.
It was a very delicate Job.
But it was magnificently handled
Each family was interviewed
privately. Simple. basic booklets
were distributed. BY the time
demolition of Dixon's Court was
begun, about 210 of the 1900
families had already decided to
leave Area B.
Only One Family Left
To-day. 10 months later, only
one family remains in Area BI
and this one remains because OF
unusual delay. ~. All the rest
have been relocated without
trouble or disturbance in public
housing units or in decent pri-
vately owned houses and apart
mentS.
The plan for Southwest ii
Washington is long-range and
flexible. Ten years or more will
be needed Ito clear and rebuild
the nearly 500 acres. No one

dwellings superior to their old
ones. New construction is ex-
pected to start next spring. The
job is being done-now.'f
Not Simple Problem
Today's metropolitan prob
lens, Mr. Cole said, cannot "be
solved alone by clearing slums.
nor by erecting new homes and
repairing old ones. nor by public
housing, nor by safer. speedier
transportation, nor by play
grounds. parks and other public
facilities.
ut can be fully solved only if
we recognize that the historic

TO the unruly. 1t worked for wears
with fruitful results. In recent wears
the trend has been to consider the
psychological factors behind the child's
behavior. In some cases this is i'm
portant but we doubt that the major
lty have near as many psychological
disturbances as growing pains"
1t is our contention that parents
should be a bit more understanding
towards the action taken by school
teachers in solving delinquency prob
lens.
Many capable teachers leave the
lleld of teaching each year not because
OF the poor salary but because of the
maladIuSted parent. Is it worth it for
a teacher to brave the wrath of an
ahgered parent for the sake of making
4 student a better citizen? Teachers
VINO have long years of service will
brave anything. if they feel it will make
a better citizen of the youngsters but
those new to the profession are more
prone to say 1T isn't worth it."
If parents would make a pointed
effort to cooperate with the teachers
and realize that everything is for the
good of their child, the world of to-
morrow would be much brighter.
Teachers and principals need to
Fave free hand in considering the
needs of the child. This can't be done
with any degree of success when the
need of the child is altered to fit the
reaction of the parent.

Its regretfu that his address
couldn't have been heard by every
parent in the county.
While some parents are staurcb
supporters Of a school program that
has strict discipline. there are many
who take dim view of having their
children disciplined by school teach

We agree with DR.. Martin that
school is wonderful place to teach
children that there are some things
that they must not do Many children

the next logical place is in the class

Tabor Loses One OF Best Citizens

Tabor City lost one of its best citi-
zens with the death of Mr.. A. c.
Edwards.
Soft spoken but fully convinced
that Tabor City was the town with
city future" the beloved gentleman
never missed an opportunity to boost
his town. Each time he attended
function outside of Tabor City he was
our greatest public relations expert.
We feel that everyone has lost
close friend. Mr.. Edwards was one
of the few men we have ever known
who lived by the golden rule He had
the warmth and love for his fellow
man to return good for evil at all
times.
His love for people was evident in
his association with them. He was as
cordial to the man i'm tattered cloth
ing as to the man in the high income
bracket He knew no one for what
they had but for what they were
We can't escape the belief that it
was great privilege to have known
and associated with Mr. Edwards.
Things won't be quite the same for a
while without him in our midst.
