Neighbor Howard
Begins to Stir

Neghboring Howard County is beginning to
feel the squeeze as the population of the Wash
ington and Baltimore metropolitan areas leap
frog north and west.
1t is expected that the two population surges
will meet some day right in the middle of Howard
County.
Still predominantly rural prosperous farm
ing area, Howard county could be compared to
Montgomery County as it was IS years ago.
Unlike Montgomery County however, it APP
pears that there will be strong competition for
industrial sites along the Patuxent River in How
ard County. Farsighted industrial planners to-
day emphasizing location near first-class hous
ing developments which will be attractive to the
highly paid specialized executive and the work
forces such industries require. liW
One type of industrial activity that would be
highly adaptable to Howard County is the typical
research and development organization. Some al
ready have indicated interest in Howard County
Indicative of trend away from farming
economy was an Is percent drop-from 80 percent
to 10 percent-in farm employment from 1910 UNI
til 1850.
Twenty-Five percent of Howard County wages
and salaries originated from Government en-
ployment in 1855 whereas wholesale and retail
trade provided 16 percent.
The Bureau of Business and Economics Re-
search at the University of Maryland summed up
Howard County's expectations for the future this
way:
1t is unlikely that Howard County will ex-
perience in the near future at least the unusually
high rates of growth occurring in Montgomery,
Baltimore, Prince Georges and Anne Arundel
Counties. On the other hand, Howard County can
expect continued high rate of increase because
of its location with respect to Baltimore and Wash.

farsightedy the of its lands and other re!
sources through imaginative coming and reserva-
ton of open spaces.

Along fhe Potomuc-
Wanted: Much More
Citizen Interest
Rep. Dewitt S. Hyde

In few weeks the political parties of Mary
land will he holding primary elections. Hence, 1
would like to say word or two this week about
practical politicS-a business or profession thai
helps to improve your government and your com.
munity.
The word politics" causes some people lots
of trouble 1 suggest that we get one thing clear:
politics is a distinguished word. Politics should
occupy the interests of every American because
without citizen participation in politics you get
anarchy or a dictatorship.
Actually, bad politics and bad government are
caused by good citizens who don't bother to take
an active interest by voting and working for the
candidates of their choice.
What would like to emphasize is this: choose
the candidate who comes closest to your political
beliefs and ideas and then roll up your sleeves and
go to work. Make your voice heard. You achieve
nothing by standing on the sdelines wringing
your hands and wondering why someone doesn't
do something about a problem that directly af
fects you And nowadays almost every problem
of government affects you
Our Nation enjoys the highest standard of
living in the world today because of the skill,
imagination and organization of business leaders,
operating through a competitive enterprise sys-
tenn. And, l say to you that you can apply the
same drive and ability and ingenuity to the politi-
cal arena and become real instrument of action
in achieving sound government. We need seasoned
and practical leaders of the community in politics.
and we need the younger men and women active
ly interested in government
l hope that every citizen of the 9th Maryland
District will take an active interest in the election
this year.

Bingo!

\A/ELL, the Post Office Department has
Wv come right out with it, laying its
cards right on the table, and whether we
like it or not newspapers are not allowed
under the second class postal laws to pub
licize bingo games.
There is one type of lottery which is
carried on in all sections of the country,
the post office advises in a new brochure,
land with which most people are familiar
- Bingo" 1t continues: "You have in this
game the awarding of prizes by means of
chance, and almost always the payment of
a fee to participate in the game so that
there are present all three elements of prize,
chance and consideration.
"It has been our experience that the
fact that 'Bingo' or Bunco or Keno or
whatever name might be applied to this
game is a lottery is ordinarily apparent to
ALL The difficulty arises because of mis-
understanding that an announcement or
advertisement of such a game is acceptable
in the mails as long as full details are not
included In other words, it is believed by
some that if the announcement merely
carries such words as Party or Games
or Big Game Wednesday Night or just the
printing of the familiar dollar sign, that
such an announcement does not contravene
the law.
This, of course, is not the case. If the
matter under consideration is, in fact, an
advertisement of lottery, the omission of
the schemes details renders it none the less
Objectionable"
So there it is, folks We are telling you
now because the bingo season is almost upon
us. Sorry! We can't publicize that bingo
game.
There are other lotteries too, of course,
that we can't talk about - like giving
away" cars. That season is almost upon us,
too. The postal laws are very clear on the
subject If there are consideration, chance
and prize = it's lottery and Uncle Sam
doesn't want his mailmen to help publicize
it. If we do, we could be excluded from the
mails.
All of the requests to this newspaper
are, without exception, from fine community
groups staging the lottery solely to aid
worthy causes But it's still a form of
gambling and you can readily see what would
happen II big gamblers were allowed to use
the mails. So the Post Office Department
must make the law apply to everybody.

I Asst week, we were privileged to pub
L fish an eloquent plea from the mayor of
Rockville to the citizens of that community
asking them to play more active role in
government
In his column this week, which appears
elsewhere on this page, Rep. Dewitt S. Hyde
dwells on the same subject: why aren't citi-
zens more interested in government?
Both of these men are politicians = and
public servants. Both of them are perfectly
sincere in appealing for more help from the
citizens in running the government.
Any suggestions?

should like to thank you for
the kind words expressed in your
editorial March 10 issue) re-
garding my two terms in office.
l have received many comments
from people in Rockville and in
the county as a result.
May / say that the accomplish
ments noted were the result of
the work of number of people
rather than one. 1t has been my
privilege and honor to have
served as mayor with some of
the finest men on the council
that one could ask for. Without
the advice, assistance and sup
port of Wendell Turner and
James Robertson, two pa S t
councilmen, and John Oxley,
Alexander Greene, Frank Ecker
and John Hausch, the incum-
bentS, it would have been an i'm
possible task. These men are
not eyes" men but rather, indi-
viduals keenly aware of the fun
damental virtues and require
ments of good government.
Their discussions, independent
views and decisions have made
our city what it is.
Knowing these men and work
ing with them has been one of
my most cherished experiences.
I have gained in the process the
friendship of six men I value
most highly.

House Unit Hears
County files Head

Mrs. John Sherman, chairman of the Mont
gomery Foreign Languages in Elementary Schools
committee, appeared before the House Commit
tee on Education and Labor last week to ask for
Federal government support of her program.
Two House bills aimed at stimulating the study
of foreign languages were the target of Mrs.
Shermans plea to extend the aids under consider
alton to the elementary grades.
Establishment of teacher training centers and
the development of FILES methods and materials
in the public schools were supported by Mrs
Sherman.
Her reasons for federal aid were based on
the countys need for much greater language facil-
ity among American citizens as part of the ma.
tional security and the need the local level for
financial support to improve the curriculum with
foreign languages.
Mrs. Sherman answered many questions for
the House Committee concerning the after-school
files program in Montgomery which sponsored
by the County Council of P.TAs has grown in four
years from 46 students in school to over 800
in % schools.
Getting the program included in the regular
curriculum and more well trained teachers Is be-
ing held back at present because of the cost the
FILES chairman pointed out
The ease and facility with which elementary
grade students learn additional languages and the
fact that this ability is lost in later years were
Mrs. Sherman's argument to the Committee for
starting foreign languages at an earlier age

Letters
What Does One Do?

/ understand that because
some residents of Rockcrest OPP
posed giving up their recreation
area, the new primary school
will not be built.
First, l would like to know
just how many residents OPP
posed it in relation to the whole
neighborhood. 1t is my under
standing that only a small
group attended the meeting but
since there were few to cham
pion a school, this group had its
way. l dare say many who do
not want the school live around
the park area and would like
to see it remain as is.
Secondly, since a new school
would affect the entire area of
Twinbrook by relieving the
crowded conditions there, why
were these residents not given
a say in the matter? My chill
dren have no recreation area
nearby and l think it would be
nice if they did. l feel, how
ever, as do all parents of Twin
brook children being threatened
with dorble sessions again, that
a school would benefit the en-
tire area whereas the recrea-
ton area benefits only those in
the immediate vicinity.
Children will always find
many places to play, recreation
area or no. But what does one
do when there is no room for
him in school?

Council Lorgesse

Fulfilled of Iargesse and of all grace =
Chdacer.
THE generosity of the County Council
seemed to know no bounds in adopting
next years budget.
Brushing aside the recommendation OF
County Manager M. L. Reese that mere
$50 million budget be approved the county
heads added another $4 million of their own,
some of them pet projects, others that were
politically expedient, and some Reese prob
ably should have supported but didn't.
It was a most unusual spectacle and one
that county residents won't see repeated for
a few years. Usually, of course, the county
manager an appointed official - paints
a somewhat gloomier picture than is neces-
sary and the councilmen = who are elected
- then come to the rescue of the beleagured
taxpayer.
But this year, as the new generation
would say, was the most. If not the greatest!
The county manager tried valiantly to
consolidate the Peoples Court in Rockville,
thus saving the taxpayers substantial sums
of money but the council needed impassioned
pleas from Bethesda and Silver Spring that
such move would be disastrous and, in
stead, appropriated $750,000 for new
county building in Bethesda Us minutes
from Rockville) and 100000 for a similar
new building in Silver Spring, equidistant
There were many who doubted the
wisdom of purchasing huge park near
Wheaton (many said a smaller one would
do just as well) but the council authorized
ST, 985, 900 for park sites - most of it to be
used for the Wheaton site.
Still in a generous frame of mind, the
council granted the County Manager a
salary hike - that he didn't ask for - from
$4,000 to $4,000. And then, as if to show
that they were no pikers, the county heads
went on to authorize $22,673 school board
curriculum study, filming of a $4,000
documentary film, new county Jail, a new
maintenance depot, 81, 760, 900 court house
addition (even though the Peoples Courts
will remain where they are), and several
other rather substantial items as far as the
taxpayers pocketbook is concerned.
All of the extra projects approved can
be easily Justified and there are few of us
who couldn't come up with an even larger
list of deserving items on which the council
could have smiled, also. But, we have little
doubt that there are many who, recognizing
that there are fewer dollars kicking around
these days, are getting along with the old
Chevy instead of going out and buying a
pink Cadillac. We can't help but w O n d e r
whether the taxpayers - in the long run =
wouldn't have been little better off if the
Council had leaned a little in the direction
of conservative spending instead of going
over to the other extreme in an attempt to
please practically everyone who was making
budget demands.
