Leaders Job Gets
Stressed At Session

John r. Hastings, Bridgeville,
speaking at the Annual Farm and
Home Leaders Training Meeting
held in Georgetown recently, stres-
sed the Importance of the job vol
untary leaders have and the in
fiuence they have on the success
or failure of their organization
program.
Mr.. Hastings listed the following
points to illustrate the part leaders
play:
l. Leaders represent the wishes
of their neighbors.
2. They have the opportunity to
help decide the direction the or
ganization will take and the con-
tribution it will make in their COM
munity.
3. Leaders help to coordinate the
thinking and action of the members
of an organization.
4. Presenting new ideas and
broader vision as well as inspiring
members to help achieve certain OBJ
| jectives are responsibilities of
leaders.
5. Leaders to a large extent can
make or break an organization by
uniting or dividing the members
on various issues.
6. Leaders can demonstrate that
serving in that capacity is respon-
sibility each member should be
willing to assume and that each
one can perform in a creditable
and satisfactory manner.
Mrs. Jack Bril-, Millsboro, Presi-
dent of the Sussex County Home
Demonstration Council, presided at
the meeting and emphasized the
importance of proper preparation
as an aid for leaders to enable them
to do an effective job.
Under the direction of Ray Lloyd,
Assistant County Agent, those pres
ent were divided into ten Buzz"
groups and discussed the subject,
What Makes A Good Meeting?"
Mrs. Samuel Warrington. Bridge
vile, President of the Atlanta
Home Demonstration Club sum-
married the points that make
good meeting. She listed the fol-
lowing items:
i 1. Plan ahead-have an agenda
for the meeting made out before
it starts. All officers should be ia
miliar with this.
2. Provide adequate facilities
if room must be darkened for mo-
tion picture, or if blackboard is
needed. see to it that it is on hand.
8. Start on time-al those who
are expected should be notified in
advance so that they can be- pres
ent at the assigned time. Then start
at that time.
4. Follow the meeting plan-keep
the discussion along the lines of
the agenda. Discuss each item,
make decisions or assign to COM
mittee for further consideration:
and go on to the next item.
5. Finish on time-when every
thing on the agenda has been COM
pleted, adjourn the meeting.
Special problems of leaders in the
county's "a Home Demonstration
Clubs, the 10 All clubs, and the
numerous agricultural organiza-
tions were reviewed in separate
meetings of these three groups un-
der the guidance of Miss Frances
Shoffner, Home Demonstraifon A

son. County Agricultural Agent.

On the question Of whether or
not Federal aid is possible with
out Federal control, a past pro-
nouncement by DR.. S. M. Brown
ell, formerly U. S. Commissioner
of Education, seems accurately
pertinent. In 1899, he said: IF
Federal aid is to bring about bet
ter schools, it seems apparent
that there must be some Federal
control" Similar warnings are
expressed by the Commission on
Intergovernmental Relations and
the Committee on Federal Re-
sponsibjlity in the Field of Educa-
ton.
Aside from the great added fl
nancial burden on ali of the tax
payers of America, the people of
Maryland might give thought to
the fact that their contribution to
this proposed program will APP
proximate $6,906,OOO, yet in re-
turn the Free State would receive
only $4,496,000. In this praise

cation have rightly and tradition.

and local communities, and it
seems to me that a more realistic
realignment or return of tax dol
lars to the states must be adopt

SO that this responsibility can be
properly met.

In the essential effort to reduce
an incredibly high national bud
get, the Congress and the public
will want to consider carefully
the proposed program for Fed
eral aid to education. In this con-
text, it is amazing that the voices
and demands of certain self-serv-
ing pressure groups can be given
such prominence. Theirs is not
to bring about a quickened pro-
gram for school construction, but
actually to reate a cumbersome
mechanism which can only lead to
bigger, more costly Government
and eventually to Federal control
of all aspects of education.
The proposed legislation calls
for an expenditure by the Federal
Government of So billion over the
next four years. To dispense
these funds, obviously some
agency of the Government must
be enlarged or a new department
established. In either alternative,
more personnel and an enlarge
n1ent of Federal bureaucracy can
only result. Experience has al
ready capably demonstrated that
once created, the dissolution of
such agencies is frustrated by the
very employees whose jobs would
thereby be terminated. Govern
ment today is system of wheels
wherein the small and obscure
wheels grind out in great part
the vast bulk of the decisions
and policies for which the major
and known wheels are ultimately
responsible.

My recent trip to Europe Tor
the purpose of obtaining current
information on the Hungarian
refugee program to be used IN
consideration of legislation on
this subject, proved enlightening.
Specifically, 1 investigated our
security measures and sought in
formation on the exact nature OF
the persons who have been and
are fleeing from Hungary. l was
able to get some ideas for the use
of the House immigration Com
mittee on the proportion of these
people who are actually refugees
fleeing in fear of danger to their
lives or their personal freedom.
On our trip we visited Vienna
and Berlin. / talked with our dip
plomatic representatives and Sc
curity people, the representatives
of the Intergovernmental Com
mittee for European Migration,
our immigration authorities, the
Red Cross, and Austrian citizens
with no official positions.
In Berlin, 1 was impressed
with the thoroughness of the eX-
animation given by the Germans.
OF course, their problem, in many
respects, is easier than our since
they are Germans dealing with
Germans.
In spite of the difficulties faced
by our examiners in screening the
Hungarian refugees, they are do
ing an excellent job. 1t does not
appear that many real Commu-
nists are getting through. 1t is al
so important to note that many
of the early arrivals who were
obviously Communists or Commu-
mist sympathizers return to Hun
gary.
Many of those who remain in
the refugee camps are spotted by
other refugees. Our security off
Gals in Hungary believe that this
is after all the best way of de-
tecting the Communist.
From all the information we
could gather from every source,
1T must be concluded that large
