This week. group of citizens met to discuss and
plan ways and of again conducting successful
UNITED GIVERS FUND CAMPAIGN. AS we note the
persons who taking active part in these initial
meetings we see that all and women who are
already loaded down with their jobs and with other
community activities, but knowing these and
ment of conditions for all citizens of Jackson feel
that each will FIND TIME to do his her best in the
coming campaign This it should be- for practically
EVERY CITIZEN of our city will benefit in way
from the % agencies supported by the UNITED GIVERS
FUND.
AS in the past, the TERRITORIAL DIVISION will
be composed entirely of Negro Citizens We do not know
what this division VII accept its maximum quota but
have doubt that whatever the amount it will be
raised and perhaps for feel that at long last
the Negro citizens not only of Jackson but of other
towns and cities within state, have into the
realization that in order to ENJOY THE PRIVILEGES
of CITIZENSHIP, must assume the RESPOSIBILI-
TIES we must SUPPORT THE AGENCIES that are
doing so much for us, especially youth.
Within a few weeks will be called upon by work
ers who in most will be making sacrifice to
ct these funds We beg that you not only give these
workers courteous treatment, but GIVE THEM MONEY
BIG MONEY Do not let it be said when the drive
is over that the Territorial Division DID NOT MEET
ITS QUOTA but rather that the Territorial Division
DOUBLED ITS QUOTA.
So often it has been said that "The Negro spends
money for the things HE WANTS and BEGS for the
THINGS HE NEEDS Let us belle this statement by

Rockville is Civ
Of Contrasts .
County Comment

A visitor to Rockville about a year ago
was heard to chuckle when he spotted the
big sign that proclaimed it to be "The All.
American City" What he asked, is so special
about this?
True, there was certain quaint flavor
about the tiny main street with the classic
picturesque courthouse smack in the center of
town and the time-worn fronts of many of
the business establishments Still there was
hardly anything distinctive in any of this.
Later, the visitor discovered that the title had
been awarded by Look Magazine in recogni.
ton of reform movement in the city govern.
ment. and had nothing to do with physical
appearance or the way Rockvillians went
about their routine daily tasks
But it has since struck us that the name
might be rather appropriate, after ALL though
not in the sense intended by the editors of
Look Rather it would be in the sense that
Rockville combines the old and the new of our
nation. 1t spans the history of America as
at once bastion of tradition and champion
of modernity. The true flavor of the town
stems from this mixture of the old and the
new; the backward and the progressive; the
mellowness of tradition and the glitter of
freshness.
The main ingredient in this blend is mere
geographical accident. To the south lies one
of the most sophisticated and wealthiest
areas of the country: Bethesda and Silver
Spring boast some of the best brains and
latest purses in America To the north lies
centuries-old farmland: here the sweat of the
brow, the homely life, and disdain for the
egghead still are in general command. Put it
all together and it spells Rockville, the coun.

Five Years Letter

rs been five years since the Supreme Court ruled
that Montgomery County and the rest of the Nation
should begin to make prompt and reasonable start to
end segregation of the in our public schools
AS story elsewhere in this issue of the Sentinel
laes approximately so percent of the countys Negro
pupils will be attending ntegrated schools this Fall The
figure during the just concluded school year 43 per-
cent Under present plans total desegregation will have
been attained in the county by the Fall of 1861 That
means that the Montgomery County desegregation pro-
gram will have taken years to complete
AS everyone knows, the Supreme Court laid down
headlines for the completion of desegregaon The ursts
did not say that the States should complete their desegre
CATION programs in year years Is years.
Accordingly various parts of the south have each gone
about the problem in their way most of them much
slower than Montgomery County
There those who say could have gone much
faster And almost invariably they have been the
who when you ask them admit that their school
would be affected only little at all by immediate
and total desegregation.
The program here has undeniably been slowed by
residents of the county who live in Negro reSden
tia areas And the various school board members who
have been in office for the last five years knowing that
IN parts of Montgomery County, there entrenched
deep-South attitudes - have listened to them.
But despite its "sowness" Montgomery County has
led the rest of the State and of the South
the speed with which it has desegregaed Critics of the
countys progress would do well think to re-examine
their views in light of the fact that Montgomery County
may well be cited in the future model county far
desegregaton is concerned So far things have gone
smoothly and the transition has been accomplished almost
painessly The school board present and past should
be commended for this.

For+hrigh+ness
Is Good Quality
An Opinion

Bill Leckemby, jr, an attorney now with
the law firm of Moore and Linowes in Silver
Spring has great potential as a political
leader. He has had an suspicious beginning
having served as president of the Montgom.
cry County Young Republican Club and just
recently elected to head the Young Republican
to stick by his guns once he has made an
effective and bold hit.
A couple of weeks ago we reported that
Leckemby at a Republican pow.wow in Bal
timore told those present, including D. Eldred
Rhnehart, State COP chairman, that the
Young Republicans will try to fill any void
caused by an inactive State Central Com.
mittee.
Evidently, Mr.. Leckemby heard from
some of his fellow Republicans who thought
he had stated his position little strongly.
Instead of being positive and reiterating the
hope that Young Republicans would indeed
try to be political leaders, with or without the
help of State Central Committee that had
grown old or completely inactive. he chose to
give a different and watereddown version
of what he said And he chose TO give this
statement to an avowed Republican propa.
ganda writer who is pledged TO write nothing
but superatives about the Grand Old Party,
and the Young Republicans in particular.
Young Mr.. Leckemby is reported to have
said something to the effect that Young Re.
publicans stand ready to do whatever is neces.
sary to win the election in 1860. He asserted
they would step in when State Central Com.
mittee didn't assume the leadership. But he
changed and later said something to the effect
