Gallon Club Members
Bolster Blood Program

Giving always seems to come
easiest for those who give the
most. That's why the Montgom-
cry County Red Cross appealed
especially to some $50 donors
who have already donated a gal
Ion or more blood to the Blood
Program in Montgomery Coun-
ty. s
These. donors were asked to
"hypo" the summer doldrums
In bIood-giving by making
another donation at the Blood
mobile visit, Monday, August IA,
between 3 and 7:45 pm, at the
Chapter House, 1920 East-West
hwy, Silver Spring.
1.-THE response has been won
derful," said Mrs. Lucy Ragon-
net, volunteer blood recruitment
chairman. Already almost 100
of our Gallon Club donors have
responded, and we expect more.
We would also like to get more
first-time donors for Blood

One of the donors August IA
will be Sgt. Byron Souder, of
the Montgomery County Police
Department, stationed in Be-
thesda. He will be donating the

Although the author says his
locale 'is not anything like a
literal or faithful transcription
Of Rockville" he admitted it is
natural that people living in this
area will draw similarities be-
tween the places he mentions
and actual points of interest
here.
"A good deal of circumspec-
ton was called for in identify.
ing such a place as a mental
institution" he emphasized.
Towns and place names will, Of
course, be familiar to people
rom this part of Maryland"
He stressed, however, that
although his novel is placed in
fairly contemporary period
just after World War II - any
attempt to compare actual per-
sons now living in the county
with those in his book should be
avoided. His characters are
strictly fictional, he said.

The sure nose and sharp

the recovery of a lost three
year-old boy in upper Montgom-

The lad, Martin Wooster, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Woo

than 10 hours in a wooded
area outside Boyds, where the
family had gone on an outing.
Almost 200 area policemen,

Aside from a few scratches
and mosquito bites the little boy

said that aside from grumpi-

he appeared undisturbed by his

Repeats Pledge
Made During SO
Campaigning

Montgomery County's "sec.
ond-class citizens" have reacted
to Gov. ]. Willard Tawes'
latest statement on reapportion-
ment about as emphatically as
the Governor has acted on the
matter in the past.
Mirroring the Governors
slowness, county leaders have
shown little enthusiasm for the
statement by Tawes last week
that he will back reapportion-
ment efforts at the next meet
ing of the Legislature.
According to reapportionment
hackers, Tawes has paid little
more than lip service to giving
more equitable representation to
the more populous sections of
the State.
They say he has not used the
full influence of his office and
position as party leader in the
fight for reapportionment.
Tawes in a letter to the Mont
gomery County Democratic
Central Committee again
pledged his support, but turned
down the groups request for
the appointment of a commits
sion to study apportionment and
districting problems in the
State.
Need Action, Not Study
"What we need is not more
study but action" Tawes said.
Il intend to support the reap
portionment bill in the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly

Browning himself had no
comment on the Governors
letter. Il have not had chance
to study it."

ponds on a system of fair repre-
sentation, Tawes said, emphasiz-
ing that Democrats in Maryland
should continue their work to
secure a reapportionment of the
State Legislature so as to as
sure a fair representation in
that body"
Waits on Redistricting
While voicing his support of
reapportionment, the governor
said he would rather wait for
the electorate to decide on the
additional issue of redistricting,
which awaits action by the
voters next year.
At that time, voters will be
asked to take their stand on the
recently-created Eighth Con-
gressional District made up of
Prince Georges and Howard
Counties. Petitions for referen-
dunn on the redistricting have
been circulated with consider
able success.

committee. Il want a reappor-
tionment bill enacted in 1862"
Describing the present coun-
ty unit system of voting in pri-
maries for State officials as
"antiquated," Gov. Tawes said
one of its results has been the
selection of candidates who do
not represent a voting ma.
jority.
Reapportionment of the Gen.
eral Assembly, he declared,
would ease this problem, per-
haps bring on reappraisal of

TntonqibIes' Aid HowoHi's Growth
BY SYLVIA PORTER

HONOLULU, Hawaii. - The
future Of our newest State Of
Hawaii is up and up to new
peaks.
OF this, there is no question
either among old-time residents
or observant visitors who now
are witnessing the inevitable
slowing during the catch-up
phase. The only questions are:
How fast will be the future eco
nomic growth of a State 2,400
miles southwest of San Fran
cisco and 1900 miles away
from Atlantic Coast markets?
What new activities and indus
tries will emerge to lead the
expansion Of our only island
State and only tropical State?
The answers to these ques-
tions lie in the intangibles-in
factors and forces which cam
not be neatly summarized in
any row Of statistics. But Just
as intangibles have played so
large a part in the great ex-
pansions Of California, Florida,
Arizona. so they will play a key
role in sending Hawaii to now
undreamed Of heights.
Boom Gains Down
After almost two years of
statehood. Hawaii's boom has
calmed down-not only because
the recession has reduced tour
ism, but also because the pace
of 1859 simply couldn't be

Money Is Beginning to Murmur

To the normal sounds of
spring, add the stirring Of the
new car prospect. Money may
not be talking yet. but it's
starting to mnmble something.
Now that better weather is
permitting an appraisal of
what another winter has done
to the family car, all the pre-
liminary signs of an upturn in
sales are beginning to show
just as a cautiously hopeful in
dustry has been predicting.
Last week in Chicago, Chrys-
ler's L. L. Colbert pointed out
that used car sales are close to
the levels of last fall, and since
a recovery of used-car sales
normally occurs before a re-
covery in new-car sales, this
coulo be an indication Of early
Improvement.

per cent more passenger cars

it produced in the first quar-
ter. F0rd's Ben d. Mills says
preliminary orders for April
indicate that our current pro-
ductioI. schedules may be too
modest"
At the local level the stirring
can be heard. Queries of what's
the best buy?" are heard more
frequently.
One of the amazing bright
spots in what the industry
readily admits has been the
"doldrums" in car sales is right
here in our town.
Ourisman Chevrolet last week
released some sales figures
which claim a record delivery
of 2l8 new Chevrolets in IL

At one point, the firm says,
they had to get out of town
and into a depressed" eco
nomic area to get So cars to
help fill orders.
Sales figures for 1860 totaled

Brothers Ourisman - MandelI
and FlOrenz-and gross volume
sales were IS per cent above

its best year ever.
