PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: All of the brothers shook
hands, pulled up chair to the
square table in the corner and or
dered a beer or two. There was
a strange brother that was setting
in on the session, and for a strang-
er he shore did say a whole lot
before the night was over, and he
was one of the first people we have
ever listened to that talked whole
lot and said something worthwhile
every time he opened his mouth.
This brother was telling us how he
had been travelling through the
country for the past few weeks or
so, and he was down right sur
prised at the number of brothers
and sisters living out where the
trees grow tall that owned their
little piece of land, and he also stat
ed that some of the land that the
brothers owned wasn't no little
piece, it was a whole lot of it..
Sometimes covering hundred or
more acres. Then he said that he
came back to the city few days
ago and whole lot of the brothers
and sisters that he saw in the city
was living in places which they did
not own, and what was kinda bad
about the whole thing, this brother
said, was the fact that when he
questioned whole lot of them
brothers and sisters, they wasn't
thinking about no arrangements to
own their own place. According
to what this brother said, it WOULD
appear that the brothers and sis.
tiers that live out in the country
have come to know the value Of
getting a STAKE IN THE LAND
: Yessuh! Git something that's
yours and you will be Citing some.
where, that's what the good brother
was saying as we downed our sec
ond bottle of beer. And you know
when you think about it that gooC
brother had something when he
said that if you don't own a plot
of land, and if you amt making
no arrangements to git hold tc
none, you just amt thinking broth
er, YOU JUST AMT THINK

ment of 35 cents per front foot
annually for 10 years.
Permits Postponed
A use permit for a gas station
in the Twinbrook Shopping Cen
ter and a rezoning petition for
Ia acres from residential to COM
mercial were postponed upon rec
ommendation of the planning
commission that the decisions
wait for more information.
The replacement of a two-inch
water line with eight-inch water
line on Horners Lane was taken
under advisement after protests
by property owners against the
front foot assessment.
The owners claimed that the
project is necessary because of
the construction of the one mil
lion gallon water storage tank
on Horners Lane and will be of
no specific benefit to them. They
asked that it be financed from
the general city fund.
City officials argued that the
replacement of two-inch water
lines is city-wide project; that
any improvement of the water
system is of benefit TO all users;
and that the system of payment
has been worked out on a 20
cent a front foot for 30 years
basis and is applied wherever an
Improvement is made in the city
without prorating the cost of any
particular project.
Water Now Available
City Manager John Markland
in answer to a question from the
Progressive Citizens Association
pointed out that all existing
houses on North Street now have
water and sewer available to
them "for the first time in his
experience as a resident of 30

eggs whole attitude during
this election campaign has con-
vinced me CGG speaks of citizen
participation from one side of its
mouth and from the other side
of the mouth functions and
speaks to discourage and i'm
pugn any and all citizen partici-
patton that is not part of the
clique.
By it's Closed, Guarded and
Guaranteed approach to local
government, CGG will find it will
accomplish one of two things in
the election the citizenry will
show its indignation at cloak and
dagger politics which CGG prac-
tices, or it will find it finally has
scared off other civic-minded per
sons who might like to offer
their own talents in behalf of the
community.
1t is my further opinion that
CGG's good" government would
be better" government if the
city council this year includes an
independent. My inclusion in To-
cal government will break off the
clique presently running city
hall.
What l stand for and believe in
connection with city government

had city-Wide distribution in the
past two weeks. l will not bur
den your columns further with
repetition.
Regardless of the outcome of
the election Monday, my original
aim has been achieved. An un-
opposed, unchallenged slSte did
not happen here" The cam
paign has been regretably vicious
and bitter. That occurred be-
cause CGG resented an independ-
ent attempt to cross the sacred
portals of city hall -, and because
this Independent candidate re-
fused to be showed off her own
front porch without taking the
fight into the yard.
J There will be in the hands of
the voters of this community, be-
fore election, a printed sheet
which will carry the independ-
ent's real inside" story on the
campaign.

to allow students to transfer
back to their old school was
passed, four to three, in spite of
Mrs. Rose Kramer's terming it a
negative approach.
Such transfers, DR.. Norris in
dicated, will be handled as they
are at present by the pupil per-
sonnel staff. Commenting on
this years experience, he said
that in the general opinion of the
staff it had been favorable.
There has been no lowering of
standards Of instruction, DR.. Nor
ris said, due to adjustments in
teacher load, class size and pupil
schedules and this policy will con-
tinue.
Six Negro teachers are now
located in formerly white schools.
Monday night there was no esti-
mate given on the number of
additional Negro teachers ex-
pected to be transferred next
year.
DR.. Norris justified his plan
against a faster change because
of the difference in academic
achievement of white and Negro
pupils as shown in the annual
testing program which, he said,
must be taken into account be-
fore any wholesale shifting of
pupils can take place.
Jesse MacKnight, president of
the PTA County Council, in a
statement on the new policy, said
that without judging its merits
it appears to be the best possible
program that can be agreed on
now, and urged all well inten-
toned citizens to close ranks" :. &.

Adding additional sewage to

years until the Rock Creek trunk

fed" thinks Mr.. Jester. He
points out that a cannery which
formerly contributed a large por-
ton of Gaithersbdrg's sewage, is
installing its own treatment
equipment "in time for the next
canning season" The new treat
ment facilities will reduce the
cannery's sewage to the strength

zen should be heard in the cham
bers of the mayor and council,
and not lost as "cry in the wild
erness." / believe that a precious
gift is entrusted to men elected
to represent the people, that of
receiving the interests of fellow
citizens which they must use for
the good of the many yet withal,
respecting the rights of the indiv-
idual.
City Improvement
Officials must translate these
interests into concrete acts in the
physical improvement of the city.
No one group or individual, how
ever, must receive preferential
treatment above another.
l believe that no individual or
group of individuals should ever
reach the point whereby use of
the press or by coercion of citi-
zens they either directly or indir-
ectly control the city or advance
their personal interest.
If Citizens for Good Govern
ment has reached that stage then
it should be disbanded. l do not
think it has.
AS long as these dedicated men
and women from all over the city
respect the right of disagreement,
so long may they exist as a group.
Nor should they remain idly by,
however, either as individuals or
as a unit, when the very prin-
ciples on which good government
is founded are being attacked.
Promises Kept
l believe that no candidate for
public office nor any elected of
ficial should make promises
which he cannot keep or state
ments which approach only half
the truth, either for the purpose
of securing votes or for the. sup
port of a program.
Our statement on reducing tax
es this year has not been made
to influence your decision; in the
words of Councilman OxIey, This
would be sheer demagoguery."
1t was necessary however to
answer many questions raised by
thinking people as to whether
the construction of the new civic
center, the Improvements in re-
creation areas, streets, etc. and
the construction of the proposed
water line to the Potomac would
result in an increase in taxes.
Finally, 1 believe that govern
ment is a trust, and the officers
of the government are trustees;
and both the trust and the trus-
tees are created for the benefit
of the people," The voter him
self exercises public trust.
l have known no greater JOY
on the temporal side than my
two years in office. 1t has been
a tremendous experience seeing
hundreds of men and women par
ticipating in the affairs of the
city. This is good government
at its best.
