A Few Words
Safe. Sane Christmas

This is the beginning of the season Of
paradox - the season of holiday joy coupled
with the season of tragedy.
Already the newspapers are headlining
stories about the unnecessary deaths caused
BY fire, myriads Of them the result Of faulty
heating
For the next several weeks the danger
grows even greater as we are going into the
time for Christmas trees and Yule decora-
tons.
There is little more beautiful than gaily
decorated Christmas tree; there is little more
dangerous to a household than an improperly
cared for Christmas tree.
That we will guard against the hazard
of fire should be a New Years resolution
that we make three or four weeks ahead
of time this year.
There are few rules that will help take
care of the resolution
When you buy your Christmas tree, be
sure that it is fresh and that needles do not
shed easily. Do not put 1t up too long be-
fore the holidays and don't keep it too long

half miles of hard surfaced
roads are now completed, with
three more under construction.
To be built in the near future is
a complete hydro-electric gener-
ating plant which will complete

power for all the buildings and

Equipped Laboratory
In addition to the two separ-
ate dormitories, with accommo-
dations for five hundred stu
dents they will be able to avail
themselves of a fully equipped
laboratory, and enjoy a 1000

will learn by doing, actually

be paid for their services, of
course.
Benefits to Residents
The public benefits from Mr..
Kent's activities are varied and
unique. One benefit all Mont
gomery County residents will
appreciate is that Mr.. Kent has
paid nearly $4,000 in local
taxes, including $4,000 per year
in school taxes. Since he pro-
vides all his own needs, includ-
ing snow plows, these taxes
have been a total profit to the
county.
A major benefit to the County
is that the lakes have apparent

just because you don't have the energy to
take it down.
The trunk of the tree should be cut
diagonally and then immersed in water;
Christmas tree will lose water rapidly through
evaporation. If it's possible sprinkle the tree
with water daily.
Take care with lighting the tree. It's a
good idea to be sure that Christmas lights
are approved by the Underwriters Labora-
tory. Others, poorly made, are dangerous.
Don't overload circuits and be sure the lights
are off when the room is unoccupied.
Heating, too, should be watched.
And above all, don't leave children at
home by themselves.
Safety is common sense, something that
all of us should observe. But too many of
us leave safety and such things to the other
fellow
Somebody said recently that there's
big drawback to leaving it to the other fellow

had to be drilled to a depth of
119 feet before reaching water.
Now however, over a large por-
ton of the County, water is
reached at a depth of only so
feet.
One of Mr.. Kent's projects is
of great interest to all lovers of
the out-of-doors. Not only are
his lands all set aside as a COM
plete wildlife sanctuary; but he
is providing so acres as the
grounds for the National Head
quarters for the Izaak Walton

the National Headquarters to
rest on the bank of 20 acre

The elderly of the county will
be the recipients of Mr.. Kent's
endeavors in a very human
way. At leas. a hundred apart
ments are. to be available at
nominal rentals to retired or
widowed tenants, who may no
longer be justified in maintain
ing large homes. Another build
ing will provide a much larger
number of apartments on a rent
free basis, to elderly people
who have seen better days and
whose active years were USE
fully employed in loyal and
creditable endeavors.
Deluxe Apartments
In order to provide additional
funds for the support of his
educational and eleemosynary
detectives, Mr.. Kent intends to
build at least 300 deluxe apart
ments within easy walking dis

One of the greatest assets of
the Sixth Congressional District
is its press. The people of each
of the five counties are ex-
tremely fortunate in having
available to them a fine selec.
ton of independent aggressive
newspapers.

the length Of our 200-mile dis
trict, am constantly made
aware of how well informed are
the people with whom / speak
on the many facets of local, ma
tional and international affairs.
It Is continually encouraging
to note the alertness of my con.
stituents as to what /, as their
Congressman, have been doing
In the course of representing
them.
These newspapers, their edi-
tors and publishers are deserv-
ing of all our thanks. They
maintain constant high stand
ards of reporting. In my opinion
their fairness in dealing with
controversial matters is without
question. They are well aware
Of their responsibilities to their
readers and work diligently to
be worthy of this trust.
AS this, my first year in Con-
gress, draws to a close, extend
TO the press corps of the Dis
trict my sincere appreciation. I
could not have asked for fairer
Interpretation of my activities.
All our newspapers have report

out equivocation that these
newspapers have been a very
constructive factor in helping
me carry out my duties to bring
responsible representation to
the people of the District.

About three miles northwest
of Rockville, on Route +t28,
there exists a shining example
of Americas free enterprise sys-
tenn and some of its results.
Otis Beall Kent, founder and
owner of Kentland Farms, is
spending his retirement years in
vigorously working for the flu
ture of this country.
In 1912 he purchased and con-
solidated four farms from the
old Montgomery County fanni-
lies of Tachiely, Fulks, Crown
and Ward. Here on approximate.
ly thousand acres he has cur
rently built the largest private
impeachment of water in the
state of Maryland. Seven man
made lakes now grace the gent
ly rolling land, with seven more
either in the stages of construc-
ton or planned. When COM
pleted, the lakes will impound
over 150,000,O00 gallons of pure
water, with $50 acres of surface
water.
Training School for All
Members
The primary objective of Mr..
Kent's projects is the establish
ment of a practical training
school for the education of COM
petitively chosen All boys and
girls from all over the United
States in the principles of or
ganic farming. The institution
will be adequately endowed pri-
vately from other projects on
Kentland Farms. The school
will be operated without any
government agency, or recourse
to any public contributory fl
nancing. In the final stages of
completion are the dormitories

thoughts in this column bring
much mail on what l have said.
Often ! get good constructive
suggestions on different matters
in relations to a specific area or
problem. These are very help
full, mainly because they enable
me to have the feel of the pulse
of our District.
Too often we in America take
our press for granted. We fail
to appreciate the tremendous
tasks which confronts its mem
bers in gathering, evaluating
and reporting the news of the
day in a balanced presentation.
Our press is a highly sensitive
nervous system communicating
to the people the doings in all
the fields of endeavor in today's
complex society.
A free press is privilege and
should not be an indulgence, in
any extreme. 1t Is my honest
opinion that a good newspaper
Is reflective of a sound commu.
nifty. We must all do whatever
we can even if 1t is only through
subscription to safeguard this
precious bulwark of freedom.
AS contrast, take the recent
publication in Moscow of the in
terview with the President by
the editor of the Russian news
paper Izvestia. It created quite
ain international stir and most
experts were surprised that the
interview was published in its
entirety with a minimum of edi-
torializing. The Soviet News
Agency, Tass, did, however, edi-
torialize.
Here in the United States free.
dom of the press is a bastion to
any encroachments on our liber-
ties. We recognize always that
the people have a right to know
the facts as they exist. A strong

duty to keep it strong will In

EDITORIAL

STANDARDS FOR APPOINTMENTS
IN HIS DETERMINATION to fill all posts as quickly as
possible and therefore give the government a sense of per.
manence, Governor Paiewonsky lost little time in making
most OF his appointments. There is nothing wrong with this,
except that in the haste, certain factors might have been over
looked which, while in themselves not apparently significant
on the surface, could yet place the administration in a position
which is anything but strong.
IN ANY GOVERNMENT, the changes in positions come
from two main reasons: First, the political change, which has
nothing whatever to do with ability or ~capabiity. 1t is a
change brought about to meet political obligations. Those
who are in the party and who worked for the winner must
now enjoy the spoils. The second reason is more logical 1t is
to strengthen and broaden the scope Of activity and useful
ness Of the government by bringing in new blood, differing
points of view, andWider ability.
IT MAY BE THAT regardless of what is done in the
matter of appointments will not satisfy. The Governor will
never be able to please everyone, but there must be a serious
effort to avoid steps which cannot be defended on sound
grounds. When, for example, incumbentS with experience and
seniority are by-passed for those with less ability, then it be-
comes difficult to explain what system is used. The great dam
ger of such appointments is that it places the administration
in the embarr assing position of having no sound answer for
its actions. Then, too, it opens the door to all sorts Of dissen-
sion and displeasure, which only mounts up day by day.
o EXAMPLE, where an appointment is made which
cannot be supported either on the basis Of political expediency
or sheer ability, then the more capable and able persons must
constantly be shunted aside, and the whole system becomes a
mockery. An assistant, for example, who comes to his position
with much more in preparation and experience than his SUI
/ perior creates problems the end of which may not be in sight.
WE KNOW THAT politics must be played, but what
these Islands want is a Governor who is governor. There must
come a time when he, and he alone, shares the fullest respon-
sibility. So, in the future, as more appointments become ne
cessary, and the Governor makes his move he will be able to
fully justify what he does on the basis of ability and qualif-
cation.

Parents Have Great Responsibilities :.

CHILDREN OUT LATE at night or during the early
~ morning sometimes face situations they are un-
prepared to handle properly Most parents realize this
arrived home at the hour they were told to. These
parents start phonig and hunting for the young
ster and if they fail in this notify the police be on
the lookout
There few parents and fortunately in Nome

parental responsibilities seriously they should
They allow their youngsters to go and come at all
hours and seernly unconcerned if their teen-age
son daughter is out all night roaming the streets
and alleys or doing whatever may strike the childs
fancy This is most unfair to the child because it allows
him her to form poor habits and become subject
to possible probable injurious moral and physical in
fluences.
Local officials know that if this very small
minority of parents continue to fail in their response
bility to their children, serious incident will
occur Not only that, but the fact that few young
sters allowed to do much they please makes it
all the difficult for those whose parents insist
on stable habits and conduct of their children
Consequently local authorities are taking steps
to improve the situation. They are asking the
operation of all parents and in extreme ap
plying the law which provides penalties ranging up to
thirty days in Jail and fine of $500 for those who al
low their children to about at all hours of the
day night This does not apply to those whose chill
dren have legitimate errands who are properly
supervised between the hours of 10 p. and a. m.
Some parents have already been penalized With
this information published it is hoped there will not
be any more.
