the membership that he personally did not
wish to have an endorsement of himself alone
and that any endorsement by the club should
include his running mates, Mahoney and Bar
rick. The Club voted to endorse the ticket.
Blair Lee has shown remarkable talent
for the position of United States Senator He
has also shown his leadership as Democrat
in Maryland. And it is our opinion that DEM
ocratic leaders in every section OF Maryland
are beginning to recognize the freshness, abil-
ity and intelligence of this new-formed team
of Mahoney-Lee and Barrick.
Len Hardy has made an excellent States
Attorney And one of his main abilities is to
recognize what is the right thing to do. There
fore, it must be said that it was evident that
he was not consulted before an arrest was
made of three men in the Drug Fair for al
lowing the book, Tropic of Cancer, to be Sold
Another quality that Hardy has is loyal
ty. And rather than back off from legal
fight he decided to back up the police officers
who made the arrest
We imagine that an officer had heard
that this book was a dirty one. He wanted
to look at it, And he had probably never

for weeks. He also probably didn't know that
the Post Office Department had okayed it for
the mails. But after he read few pages, he
got little shocked and showed it to other
officers. They were convinced in their minds
that such "dirty" book shouldn't be sold in
Montgomery County. They didn't even stop
to think about the artistic value of the book
1t had none as far as they were concerned
So they went out and made the arrest.
Of course, Mr.. Hardy could have said the
officers had acted on their own and that his
office had not had the time to investigate the
book. But he didn't. He decided to stand be-
hind the officers.
It is difficult not to agree with the OFF,
GERS and Len Hardy, especially as it concerns
the filth of the book. But we cannot agree
that officers in our police department should
set themselves up as censOrs What might be
dirty to them could be art to higher authOri

Put 1t in your political book that Alger
Barbee will make himself available for the
extra Circuit Court Judgeship which was au-
thorized by the State Legislature. The elec-
tion for this important post viii be held in
1862.
Alger Barbee, presently member of the
House Of Delegates and former States At
torney, has been given words of encourage
ment from persons in high and influential
positions.
Lawyer after lawyer has said that AIger
Barbee has the legal background and the al
most perfect temperament for this Judgeship.
With this great backing, plus his natural
ability to get votes from all types of persons,
plus other abilities, 1t seems safe to say that
Alger Barbee will probably be the fifth Cir.
cult Court Judge for Montgomery County.
There has been some discussion concern
ing the Position Papers issued by the Demo-
cratic ticket of Mahoney-Lee-Barrick
They are outstandingly good, so it is
quite natural that foes and others are con-
cerned over the excellent acceptance they are
getting all over the state of Maryland
One metropolitan newspaper went so far
as to say that careful and scholarly textual
analysis of the first two Mahoney papers re-
veals their style and logic to be remarkably
similar to that of the inventive Blair Lee, his
colleague on slate that no one quite dares to
call New Era ticket"
We'd dare call it New Era ticket be-
cause it is refreshing to have persons run
ming for public office who make themselves
perfectly clear on how they stand on the vital
issues of the day. And we look forward to
all of these Position Papers. In fact, we
would welcome position papers from other
candidates, that is, if they have formulated
any position on the issues
There is no question about the ability of
Blair Lee to put into readable language any
thoughts that this ticket might have on the
subjects that interest voters. But there is no
question in our mind that these three gentle
men, George p. Mahoney, Blair Lee, and Sam
uel Barrick, are running as firm team. In
fact. Blair Lee made this quite plain at the

meet certain specifications, the
size of his signs can be linz

are inspected regularly, he
must pay his employees a min

ulated. All of these things are
sufficiently important for So
ciety to breach a mans prop
erty rights, yet when it comes
to human rights, he may abuse
the dignity of man to the point
of creating international Incl
dents and remain free from
any regulation from the So
ciety which he is dependent for
his livelihood. This appears to
be strange logic, but my in
ability to grasp the consistency
of such a sense of values lies
in the fact that I am not such

Upon your purchase of either
stocks or bonds you are issued
a certificate bearing your name
and showing the amount you
have invested in the case of a
bond, or the number of shares
in the case of a stock.
One of the big advantages of.
owning stocks and bonds is
liquidity. In every day Ian
guage, this means the ability to
sell at any time. Another good
feature is the use of stock as
security. Most banks will read
lily accept any stock certificates
issued by reliable companies as
security for a loan. True, you
cannot borrow the full market
value of the stock, but in most
cases, the lending institution
will give you up to 75eo on the
stock you own. The only re-
striction being that you cannot
use the borrowed money to buy
more stock.

Wall Street - Investing -
Stocks and Bonds. For those
who invest regularly, these are
everyday terms. But, for the
novice or non-investor they
sound like Greek. But it's
really quite simple.
A bond is a debt, while a
stock is ownership. The bond
is evidence that money has been
borrowed. Companies who is
sue bonds need money for a
purpose and agree to pay a des-
ignated amount of interest to
bond purchasers. If you buy a
$4,000 bond bearing SO inter-
est, you would receive a total
of $4,000 back at maturity.

strongly resembles a bank loan.

Few citizens will disagree with the contention
that parent-teacher associations play vitaly mpor
tant and powerful role in shaping educational policies
and programs.
Their collective voice is always heard and rarely
disregarded at budget hearings and their members
represent powerful bloc to voters during elections.
Too often however, their attention is focused on
countrywide issues such teacher salaries school
s1uction and curriculum changes AS a result, they
have tendency to neglect lesser but nonetheless i'm
portant problems at individual schools.
would be appropriate, therefore, during the cur
rent observance of Parent Teacher Week for parents
at each school to resolve that activities
like charity begin at home; and that they study care
fully every phase of their schools program.
Rather than wait for "open house" to talk with
their chdrens teachers they should confer regularly
with them SO both parents and teachers can cooperate
to the fullest in providing every possible opportunity
for the children to realize their potential 81
Furthermore, teachers should be encouraged to
participate actively in parent teacher association
meetings instead of merely being listeners"
Only through these meetings and studies at the
local school level there be an objective understand
ing OF educational needs on countrywide basis

Although Maryland's primary elections are near
y eight months away, perennial candidate George P.
Mahoney is losing time in telling the voters what
ne stands for. 4se =.
During the last three weeks Mr.. Mahoney, who is
seeking the Democratic gubernatoral nomination has
issued series of socaed position papers in which he
has expressed his views of the more pressing
issues facing the people.
This is all to the good as far as enabling the yot-
ers to get clear understanding of the issues is con-
cerned. And it is a welcome change from previous
campaigns in which the weer of charges and counter
charges has SO confused the political picture that
Marylanders have frequently been hard put to dstin-
guish the truth
Indeed, we believe Mr.. Mahoney has done an ex-
ceent job far in bringing into sharp focus the need
for change in party and State leadership For what
he is doing is in sharp contrast to the hideanseek
tactics of Gov. j. Millard Tawes who is still huggng
to his breast the decision whether to for re-
election.
In fact, Mr. Tawes' failure to make known his
goals and to outline the methods with which he intends
to reach them lead only to the belief already held
by many, that he is singularly devoid of ideas.
Mr.. Mahoney's tactics are, of course, very helpful
to the other members of his ticketU S. Senate cam
didate Blair Lee, III, and State Senator Samuel Bar
rick, who is aiming at the post of attorney general
On the other hand, Mr.. Tawes' determined silence
is damaging the chances of those on his slate-Comp-
oler Louis L. Godstein and Attorney General Thorn
as Finan-to return to office.
Already, reports are being circulated to the effect
that Mr. Tawes is being pressured to bow out in favor
of the oquacous Mr. Godstein. If these reports are
accurate Mr.. Mahoney will then be confronted with a
much more formidable opponent than at present.
Under present conditions, however, there can be
no doubt that Mr. Mahoney has taken an imposing lead
over the silent Governor.

Far be it from me to in
struct one so "highly intelli-
gent" and with such ian extern
sive knowledge of world
events" as your columnist
Candida, who for some reason
prefers to write anonymously.
Yet it seems to be that one
little fact relating to world
events somehow escaped his
attention in his article on Oc-
tober IL in which he declared
the African diplomats who de-
sire to stop for service in
Maryland on their way to the
United Nations persona non
grata." To refresh the "high-
ly intelligent" mind of Can
dida, we are now living in the
Twentieth Century a fact to
which he seems perfectly obli-
vious.

has had a nice quiet history,
and If these "ill bred emissa-
ries" from "some ramshackled

"the land of pleasant living"

But we do live in 1861 in a
world from which we might
like to be peacefully detached,
but of which we are inescap-
ably apart. We are living in
a time of revolution, a time
when peoples throughout the
world are demanding to be rec

pursuit of happiness" phrase

the tranquility of the past, but
we will not be isolated from
the destruction which will be-

one wonders about the con-
