3 Cheers for Kardy

We say it again! Three
cheers for Hardy! 1t is about
time somebody tried to do
something about the filthy and
obscene - yes, OBSCENE -
books that are being sold I'M
der the guise of being 'litera-
ture". Perhaps he didn't choose
the right approach and maybe
it was even illegal, but at least,
somebody finally cares enough
about this so called "litera-
ture" to try and stop it from
infiltrating Montgomery Coun-
ty. We are sick and tired of
listening to all these so-called
citizens screaming about their
rights. We'd like to ask how
many of them have performed
their DUTIES as citizens be-
fore they start yelling about
their rights. How many voted
= intelligently - In the last
county elections? On every
question? How many are &C
tive in their local civic groups?
How many contribute willingly
to charity drives? How many
regularly write their congress
men and give their opinions on
matters affecting their coun-
ty, state and country?
We would like to know how
many of them have actually
seen a copy of "Tropic of Can
cer". My husband, a former
Army sergeant, has! He was
completely Disguised with
what he read and shocked
when he realized that this
trash was available on the
open market to one and all!
Contrary to another letter writ
er's opinion, this book is so OBJ
scenely written that it is not
necessary to read the whole
thing. Any book that says IN
PRINT what this one says can
not possibly have enough
merit to justify such writing.
"Tropic of Cancer doesn't
even need pictures!
To call this adult reading is
indeed a sad commentary on
the morals of our adults. No
decent human being could
stand reading such trash for
the entire length Of the book.
You notice that we say DE-
CENT! There are other hui
man beings who would get a
big bang out of a book like
this, but unfortunately, it is,
we would assume, the decent
citizens that are demanding
their rights-allowing the prin

mend your recent action in
ordering the removal of
"Tropic of Cancer" from the
public Libraries and county

It is difficult to understand
how many individuals in a
county, which has one of the
highest intelligence ratios and
highest incomes in the nation,
can hide behind a so-called
fear of censorship in protest
ing the removal of an obscene
and filthy book from public

AS for the statement by one
group of individuals that you
are not experts on obscene
literature, I might ask, "What
determines if a man is an ex.
pert on obscene literature?" 1t
takes a few minutes of read

citizen to realize that this is
no work of art-only obscene
junk, that will always be in

hood days in Silver Spring,
this young, vigorous and intel
ligent man has seemed to have
grown tremendously in stature
during the last few months.
AS a matter of fact, there has
been a change since he an
nounced for the United States
Senate.
Blair Lee has always had a
level head on his shoulders.
And the fact that he was one
of the first important officials
to see the real weakness of
the present Governor of Mary
land, made him stand out as
one of the brightest members
of the Maryland House of
Delegates.
This candidate for the
United States Senate has been
visiting in all parts of Mary
land. He is happy with what
he saw and is pleased with
what was told him by Demo-
cratic leaders everywhere. But
he feels that this county is one
of the most important in the
State and although he has
lived here all of his life, there
are things that must be done
and many persons he must see
in order to get as much sup
port for his quest for high
office.
Blair Lee must make it clear
to some in this county whether
or not he has changed his

Second Firm Goes Under

with about So million in de-

go into receivership. It is

in spite of operating losses last

months of this year, in viola

mind on the Mort Plan. He
was against it. And they want
to know if he still feels this
way. Otherwise, he might run
into some real opposition.
There have been no polls
taken on his behalf as far as
we know, but for some reason
or another we have felt a
strong wave that would indi.
cate a victory for Blair Lee.
The same strong wave was
felt for Matthias soon after he
announced for Congress. The
same for Ike and the same for
Kennedy.
Where this wave of senti.
ment starts is anyone's guess.
And who starts it is also a
mystery. We imagine it has
something to do with the char.
acter of candidate, plus GER
tain unknown something that
a person running for office
