mittee Of Richland Homes met
this week to review the presen,
status Of Richland Homes and to
discuss future building and oper-
ational planning. According to
Drive Chairman Nels Bach and
CO -Chairman Harry Johnson, the
Board hopes to work on definite
building plans as DON as pos
sible in the spring and early
summer. This action is dependent
On a pickup in contacts by cam
vass workers.
The status of the fund drive is
encouraging from the standpoint
of $4,000 from 700 givers which
is an average of S163 per giver.
If the total of 1000 prospects are
contacted that are planned for
coverage in the drive, a good fl
nancial figure seems assured
Workers are urged to work
their prospect cards as soon as
time permits and to secure some
additional cards at the drive of
flee located in the Sidney Cham
Der office. Extra workers n still
wanted.
Meetings were held at Fairview

A natural for this age of the
adult western, the "The Ace
Ranchero" spans in interest the
age spread from 6 to so and
features the antics, acrobatic
and otherwise, of a typical east
erner who inherits a western
ranch. Indians, gunsmoke, mu-
sic, and badmen are neatly tied
in a delightful package of en-
tertainment.
The feature film, however, is
only part of the full program
that includes colorful pictures
on the unusual in farming and
a parade of modern farm equip
ment destined to open a new
era in lowered farm production
costs.
Certain to excite the interest
of every farmer in the area is
the sequence or one-man hay
making, a unique demonstra-
ton showing how one man can
cut, bale, load, elevate, and
store his hay in a single oper-
alton. Farmers never seem to
tire of seeing this exhibit of
the latest in modern farming
techniques.
The entire John Deere Day
program this year is different
from any other in that, instead
of a series of Individual pic
lures, all of the various enter
tanning and informative films,
including the feature picture
itself, are entwined in a very
cleverly spun web of entertain
ment certain to win the audi
ence's interest from beginning
to end.

Tom Gordon Returns
A man who probably enjoys
a greater popularity than any
romantic film idol" will be
back to entertain John Deere
Day audiences this year. He is
stubborn and unpredictable
Tom Gordon, a film character
in the strictest sense of the
word and one who has wormed
his way into the hearts of farm
folks so snugly that he has be-
come one of the highlights of
the entire John Deere Day pro-
gram. Again this year, Tom
strains the nerves of his fam
lily and friends almost to the
breaking point before he shows
his tender side and surrenders
to the inevitable.
A very colorful part of the
program is in the department
of the unusual in farming prac-
tees and this year is highlight-
ed by the maple syrup season
in Vermont. This sequence is
beautiful in both tone and color
and alone is worth the trip to
town.
No Tickets Required
In announcing plans for his
John Deere Day, Mr.. Atchison
emphasized that this year no
4s-1~-x- ILL L. -.--1
mission. All farmers and their
families are invited-and it's
all free. He urged, however,
that it is important to remem-
Der the time, date, and place,
because he feels confident that
attendance at the program will
be both entertaining and prof
liable to all the farmers OF the
area.

A Strong Deterrent

President Eisenhower's second re-
port to Congress on implementation of
the so-called Eisenhower doctrine for
. the Middle East contains one timely
reaff1rmation. It is that the continuing,
central purpose of the doctrine-aimed
at supporting the independence and in
tegrity Of the nations of that area-"is
to leave no possibility of miscalculation
In the minds of potential Communist or
Communist-controlled aggressors as to
the results Of aggressive action on their
part" The doctrine, formalized in a
Joint resolution approved by Congress
IL months ago, provides among other
things that the United States may
render armed assistance" to any nation
requesting 1t in defense Of its independ-
ence against Communist attack The
existence of this provision, the Presi-
dent said, undoubtedly constituted a
strong deterrent to overt Communist
aggression"
Pointing up the timelineSs of this
reafirmation, however, was the Presi-
dents reminder that through its propa-
ganda apparatus and its efforts at eco
nomic penetration the Soviet Union has
stepped up its campaign to discredit
American policy and to subvert the

Hiroshima Bombino

There is no reason, in our opinion,
why Mr.. Truman needs to explain or
justify his decision to use the A-bomb
against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For
that decision, under the circumstances,
was clearly right.
The alternative, as matters stood
at the time, was to proceed with land
invasion of the Japanese home islands.
The best estimate at the time was that
this would cost the lives of 100000
American soldiers and the lives Of as
many Japanese-not to mention the
hundreds of thousands more who would
have been manned for life.
One may grant that the almost total
destruction Of two cities engaged in war
production, with heavy loss of civilian
life, is fearSome thing. But if the
other course had been taken the loss of
life, including American lives, would
have been greater. And it is fact
a fact worth remembering-that Japan
precipitated the war with it's infamous
sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. No Jap
anese is in a position to assail Mr..
Truman for saying that he does not
regret his decision. He should not regret
1t. For it was the right decision.

Blessed Event

The incest bit of international news
at the moment is that Princess Grace Of
Monaco has given birth to fine broth
Of boy. The new heir to the throne
Caroline, his 13-month-old sister, now
yields to him in that respect) has been
named Albert Alexandra Louis Pierre,
and his proud father, the beaming
Prince Rainier III, has done the right
thing in greeting his arrival with
Joyous l0l-gun salute. AS for the lads
countrymen, they have celebrated the
event with suitably merry enthusiasm.
leaving no room for doubt that he has
already won their hearts as the pre-
sumptive next ruler of their tiny but
ancient Mediterranean land. Naturally
enough, this is matter in which Amer
leans take pleased and almost proprie-
tary interest. After all, the mother, the
former Miss Kelly of Philadelphia, still
belongs to us in way-a beauteous lady
well remembered over here as one Of our
best and most modest movie stars. Hail
to her. May she and her husband and
their growing family keep on living hap

Good Side of Youth

We have been interested in
your items concerning delin-
quency among some of the
young people. While this
may be a fact and needs the
attention of all organizations
that may be working with
young people, we feel that
more attention could be di-
rected to some of the posi-
tive work completed by the
teen-ager.
It has been suggested that
you may be interested in an
activity of our youth church
here at Lewinsville. During
Lent, every Wednesday morn
ing. approximately IS to 40
senior high students meet at

for a service of worship,
which is followed by a break

Spacious Sputter'

Charles w. Carter's letter
on your editorial, Crucial

ion a specious sputter. II the
white people Of Prince Ed
ward County pay IS per cent
Of county school costs. 1t is
because they make IS per
cent Of the money-and have
had 95 per cent Of the OPP

Taxation is based on income,
not color.
The principle of govern
ment Of, by and for the
people" offers neither ex-
emption nor privilege resting
on class, color or coin. So is
it in regard to all tax-sup-
ported institutions. In our

MISUNDERSTANDING schools.

Middle East nations. The material
assistance already given under the doc
trine, amounting to $123 million for
economic and military programs, has
been one effective counterweight to this
Soviet campaign.
With the Arab world currer 'ly
divided by rival unity movements, the
climate has improved for Communist
meddling. In this situation the tangible
attractions inherent in the Eisenhower
doctrine and the moral force Of that
definition Of policy should become in
creasingly important in strengthening
the genuinely independent nations Of
the Middle East and in aiding the pros
poets for establishing prosperous peace.

Hophozord Budqetinq

Prince Georges County'S haphazard
budgeting procedures were Strikingly
apparent with the presentation to the
County Commissioners of the county's
latest budget estimates. Although the
proposed budget called for record out
lay of 1885 million and may require
higher taxes, neither the commissioners
nor the public had an opportunity to
study the completed document in adj
vance of the first public hearing. In
fact, the estimates were not assembled
and mimeographed until a few hours
before the scheduled meeting at Upper
Marlboro. Intelligent analysis by the
public of the figures and weighing of
their urgency and accuracy manifestly
were impossible in time for the hearing.
BY contrast, Montgomery County
makes its proposed budget available to
the citizens several weeks in advance Of
scheduled hearings on it. So do the
Virginia jurisdictions in the Washington
Metropolitan Area. Budget preparation
In those Jurisdictions is careful, me-
thodic business, handled by experienced
budget officers and directed by county
managers or other executives. Prince
Georges, however, has done little to i'm
prove an old system which was used
when the county largely was rural in
character There is no county manager
to supervise the job and no regular
budget Office charged with receiving the
departmental estimates and submitting
them to the commissioners on time. AS
result, departments often are late in
submitting their requests to the county
controller, who serves as the clear
Ing house, assembler and departmental
agent in presenting the estimates. The
controller has no trimming powers, as
a budget officer would.
A number of experts on county adj
ministration have surveyed the county's
government in years past and have rec
commended modernization of the &C
counting and budgeting setup. There
have been some reforms as a result of
the various reports, but the reorganiza-
ton obviously needs to go much further
A county that has become as urbanized
as Prince Georges can i'll afford to string
along indefinitely with outmoded and
inadequate budgeting methods.
