must come to the realization that
there need be wholehearted coop
Grafton on everyone's part in the
contributing of news to the re-
porters.
Due to the fact that it is so
difficult to find a reporter who
would be able to devote the ma
jority of his or her time to the
column, we ask that everyone put
on their thinking caps and senI
the news in to the reporters.
Incidentally, folks, yours truly
is very pleased to announce her
new co-associate who will assist
in making up part of the Ger
mantown news. Therefore, neigh.
bors, write or phone your contri-
buttons to Mrs. Eva Selby, Ger
mantown, as well as myself
Germantown certainly extends
a hearty welcome to new folks
who are moving into our town
and the surrounding areas. The
majority of the newcomers are
moving out from the District, due
to their association with the new
headquarters of the Atomic En-
ergy Commission.
From observation and speaking
with folks who are now affiliated
with the downtown commission,
it appears that it is going to be
trial for them to commute to Ger
mantown on the completion of the
new building. That is why the
majority of them are seeking res
idence in this area, and the sur
rounding areas.
1t has also been difficult task
for the old homesteaders and set
tiers of Germantown to become
accustomed to the idea that they
are getting a huge government
agency such as this one, just down
the road or across the street. But
everyone knows that as the world
goes round Germantown goes
with it.
We also know that this agency
which will be expanding right
here in our midst, is for the bet
terment of the defense of our
country, and the protection of us,
as individuals and American citi-
Zens
