Consistent ViqiIonee

Two events list week provided an invaluable po-
tcal science lesson for those who take good govern
ment for granted.
In New York, an aroused citizenry turned out in
record primary numbers to sweep reform ticket to
victory against political bossism.
In neighboring Prince Georges County, an extern
sve listing of the county governments shortcomings
by special citizens committee pointed up the in
evitable result of an apathetic citizenry.
Both Mayor Robert Wagners denomination and
Carmine DeSapios defeat in New York came as sur
prise. Observers were counting on the usual small
voter response in primary election and this always
favors the party organization candidates. The large
vote showed conclusvey that when people take the
trouble to go to the polls bosses cannot exist.
Prince Georges County elections have consistent
~ been marked by relatively small vote. Primaries
there are usually decided by between 20 and Is per
cent of the eligible voters And in general elections
only about 20 per cent of those eligible actually cast
their ballots Consequently Prince Georges residents
enjoy the dubious distinction Of living in the only
in Metropolitan Washington with 18th century form
of government trying to cope with Goth century prob
lens.
Here in Montgomery County, we fortunate to
have government which is very responsive to the
people, is DaSeQ on cndrIer dQOpLeQ l0 years ago
after widespread public discussion and referendum
In recent years, however, there has been
marked lessenng of the citizen interest and ardor
which accompanied the charter discussions. Here too
the turnout in primary elections is nothing to boast
about And contests for seats the School Board
agency which spends about IS per cent of the tax
dollar, have been decided by alarmingy small
minority of the electorate
These are danger signals which must be needed if
we are to continue to have good efficient government
We cannot abdicate right to vote and still hope to
have the kind of government we want
Unless we exercise constant vigilance in the voting
BOOTH at budget hearings and in all contacts with
our government we will have opened the door to or
gained minoities to take for their
own selfish ends.
President Grover Cleveland put it this way in his
inaugural address on March d. 1885:

trate, exercices public trust"

Arch ralist that he is, Pre-

These costumed hams strutted

They knew that the British

strangely they could not bring

They stand convicted by their

There can no longer be "neu-

are against US, and should be

we on the other hand, must

A birthday party for a six-yearold, take
it from u.s. is bedlam-complete and unadul-
terated
Fortunately, the young fry have. not lost
their vitality and ability to take most any,
thing, but for their eIders-somewhat lacking
in those departments the termination OF
such party is its greatest attraction.
Through it all there runs something of
an enigma. Just why do parents go to all the
trouble of dressing the little characters in
their finest?
Of course, they look wonderful as they
come to the door, sparkling clean, bearing
gifts. But after one game, it's more than evil
dent that the oldest clothes around would
have been much more to the point
And the games they like to play. Nothing
quite will do. The quietspoken children
whom you meet at the door take only few
minutes to increase the decibels to proper

that can you get any one of them to use

Everything that is said must be said at the
top of the voice. That way everybody gets
heard, or that, at least, is the impression of

getting lost in the shuttle.

birthday party goer. The only way you can
get one to sit still for a minute is to pile

him. Even then, the quiet lasts only through

On Saturday, October Z, the
Montgomery County Historical
Society is planning to make its
annual pilgrimage in the form
of a Civil War Centennial. Be-
cause of its early background
the town of Poolesville has been
selected and arrangements are
going ahead for a day that
should be interesting to all
ages. There will be a business
meeting and luncheon for the
members of the Society. This
will be followed by a speaker, a
tour of the area and exhibit of
articles dating back 100 years
and other features being con-
sidered which will all be open
to the general public and be
quite worthwhile. OF special
interest to the townspeople is
some excellent data gathered
by Miss Martha Poole, historical
chairman for the Society, ably
assisted by Mr.. and Mrs. John
r. Hall of Poolesville.
Mrs. F. Malcolm White, of
Dickerson, in charge of the ex-
hibit, is most anxious to have
everyone help. She has named
key people in each church in
the vicinity, feeling this is the
sure way to gain community
cooperation. She feels that
there must be many things of
great interest not only to the
visitors but also of help to the
school children. Contact can be
made with Mrs. Wilson Poole,
Mrs. Charles Jamison, Mrs.
John Spates, Mrs. E. w. White,
Mrs. Fred Campbell, Mrs. Ro.
zier Bodmer, Mrs. Guy Allnutt
and Mrs. F. Malcolm White.

Builders To Hold
Spring Meeting

More than 1000 persons
from across the Nation are
expected to attend the an
nual spring meeting of the
Board of Directors Of the
National Association of Home
Builders here Thursday
through May %.
Two basic policy questions
are due to come before the
board, according to an NAHB
i, spokesman. These are Pres
ident Kennedy's request to
Congress fop creation of a
cabinet-level Department Of
Urban Affairs and Housing,
and the question of housing
for low income families.
At the associations meet
ing in Chicago in February,
the board went on record as
favoring a cabinet depart
ment, but only one in which
housing is given primary i'm
portance."
Under the draft legisla-
tion submitted toe Congress
in April. however, some lead
ers in NAHB feel that hous-
ing has been de-emphasized
in favor Of urban affairs.
These men fear that under
the proposed legislation such
agencies as the Housing and
Home Finance Agency and
Evening star., 1961-05-13

the Federal Housing Admin
istration, both important to
the building industry. would
lose their present identities
when absorbed into the new
department.
On the question Of hous-
ing for low, income families,
the board will discuss its
own committees study of the
so-called McMurray Report.
The report, based on q
study financed by the NAHB,
was made by Joseph P. Nc
Murray before he became
chairman of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board, It
was designed to find ways
other than public housing to
house low income families.
The NAHB's committee is
to make specific recommen-
dations to the board based
on the study of Mr.. McMur-
rays independent findings.
Other events connected
with the spring board meet
ing include a business man
agement clinic that will be
held Wednesday and Thurs
day, meeting Of all standing
committees on Friday, and a
meeting Of legal counsel for
local and State associations
on Saturday.
