Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1959-05-28

The county's two top cleo
ton officials are never quite
sure which of them is going
to be boss. But it's a pretty
sure bet that it'll be one or
the other of them.
For two decades now, Miss
Rose Dawson and Ward w. Cad
dington have alternated as ma
jority and minority clerk of the
board of election supervisors.
When the Democrats win a
State election, it's Caddington
who'll be the boss for the next
four years. And when the COP
scores, you can count on it that
Miss Dawson will be the boss
for the next quadrennial period.
On Mond a y, the two will
change places again. Since for
mer Gov. Theodore r. Nickel
din, Republican, won the 1854
election, Miss Dawson has held
sway in the delicate and all-im-

Both have been active In their
respective political parties. In
fact, Mr.. Caddingon is serving
his second term as chairman of
the Democratic State Central
Com mi tee. Miss Dawson's
brother, Walter w. Dawson, was
the longtime chairman of the
COP committee.
Miss Dawson just prior to her
appointment 20 years ago was
in the bookkeeping department
of the County Liquor Control
Board. She took the job on a
Temporary" basis.
Caddington had worked for
the county in various capacities
until the Fusion movement of
1886 forced him to a private en-

Both Miss Dawson and Cad
dington agreed years ago that
they would keep each other in
formed as to the official acts in
the office. In tt way, neither
political party could point the
finger of favoritism at either
the majority or minority clerk.
1t has been an almost perfect
working arrangement.
Their knowledge of all things
pertaining to voting is unlim-
tied. Just last fall, Caddington
predicted that there would be
turnout of 70 percent of the
registered voters. There was
an official casting of 1859 per.
cent of the registration. Miss
Dawson came almost as close in
her prediction.

Wrong FIog Used
In NY. Welcome
To Pres. Toure

New York (ANP) - The Presi-
dent Of Guinea, Sekou Toure, and
Madame Toure were given the
traditional ticker tape parade
down Broadway last week but
there was something amiss-
flag of another country bedecked
the city to welcome the state Wis
itors.
The mixup in the flags was noted
minutes before the parade was
scheduled to begin. The flag of
Ghana was mistakenly flown from
IS vantage points on the main
thoroughfare instead of the Guinea
emblem.
Officials at Playhouse Inc, said
the mixup occurred because Of the
similarity Of the colors Of Guinea
and Ghana. The flags Of both
countries are red, yellow and green.
Ghana's flag differs In that it has
a black star in the center.
The Department of commerce
and public even said it would not
pay a bill Of approximately $500
for the 65 flags because they were
the wrong flags.
Such a mixup Is understandable
however unfortunate-for the flag
people, city officials and organiza-
dons involved, and, of course, the
U. s. government through its
State Department which normally
would have checked every detail
to see that such a slip" would not
occur.
Not only is the flag similarity
one which confuses the average
person, but also the name "Guin-
ea.: Toure's Guinea was formerly
a French colony, as was French
Guiana In Central America, now
a member Of the French communi-
ty Of nations.
One Of French Guiana's leading
citizens is Castor Monnerville, 81,
who last April became the No. 2
man in France when he was named
president Of the Senate Of the
French Republic; to follow that
last July by being appointed pres
ident Of the Senate Of the French
community.
Then there is New Guinea, the
island in the Pacific which figured
prominently with such other
names, heretofore not generally
known, as BougainviIle, Two Jima,
Guadacanal, etc. World War II vet
eran Of Pacific duty are familiar
with these.
