of moles, and just loafing and
enjoying the infinite variety of
flowers, ferns and the larger
vegetation as the seasons
change.
Unfortunately however, some
persons have failed to recognize
their responsibilities to the rest
of us to present these things
intact. They apparently think
its no matter if they take a
few ferns or trout lilies or blue
phlox to plant in their gardens.
But it would take a surprising
ly small number doing this to
strip the stream banks and
woods of these growing things.
Sligo Creek Park has a large
number of different ferns and
Towering plants, many of
which are represented by very
few specimens. To take even
one of these would very likely
jeopardize the continuance of
that plant in the park.
There is a legal side to this
also. BY Maryland law, all
things growing on the land be-
long to the land owner and
may not be removed legally
without his permission. Other
wise it is theft. In the case of
our local parks, the owners are
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
the State of Maryland, or the
local Incorporated areas. Even
the roadside plants are under
the Protection of Parks.
The Park and Planning Com.
mission dislikes to fill the parks
with warning signs, but they
may be necessary to preserve
the flowers and ferns for the
rest of us.
Let everyone enjoy our parks
to the full, but remember that
they belong to us all, and take
nothing from them but photo
graphs and memories of their
beauties, leaving behind not
even a tell-tale chewing gum
wrapper or Kodak film box to
show anyone has been there.
This way they win continue to
be Ravens of relaxation and rec.
reation for many years to come.

Conservation Chairman of

Intense indignation

This is my answer to the
derogatory, anonymous letter
from which Peter Dawson quot
ed in, your July 22nd edition
of The Sentinel concerning the
Rockville Post Office.
After reading the article, my
immediate reaction was intense
indignation. This acrimonious
Postal Worker" has maligned
the Post Office Inspection Serv-
ice which deserves the respect
and admiration of all RESPONSE
BILE people, more especially Pos
tai people.
A Postal Inspector is on duty
twenty-four hours a day. His
job is to investigate and report
any malpractice or improper
handling of the United States
Mail.
In my thirty-two years of Pos
tai Service, / have never been
treated rudely or discourteous-
ly by even one of them and I
have met many. They are I'M
biased as far as individuals are
concerned but are quite biased
when it comes to Postal Regu-
lations and procedures.
1t is because of this prodigi-
Gus Inspection Service that
Post Offices throughout our
Great Nation are operated with
uniformity and efficiency. 1t
is because Of them that you can
drop a letter in any mail box
and be confidently certain 1t will
be delivered to your son in a
far away country or to your
mother in Kansas.
To be sure, they will let us
know II our mail handling
methods are not in accordance
with regulations. l have al.
ways welcomed their advice and
guidance and they won't have to
consult the Postal Manual for
twenty minutes, because they
know the Regulations.

ton, the disgrace lies solely
with The Postal Worker and

Newton !. Steers wants to be Congress.
man. He has for a long time. He makes no
bones about it. Furthermore, he's going after
the COP nomination for Maryland's At-Large
Congressional seat
Last week, Mr.. Steers was on the Eastern
Shore He wasn't swimming at Ocean City,
He wasn't looking for farm. He was cam
paigning.
This man is well qualified to be men,
Der of Congress He has established luera
tive bonding business He has the resources to
put on statewide campaign. He has the
ability to speak out on issues He has the
personality to put himself across. The only
thing he really needs is publicity buildup so
that more people in Maryland will know who
he is and what he stands for on the current
national issues.
To help him with the initial part of his
campaign, Newly has asked Bill Kyle from
Potomac to help him. And we understand
Kyle is an expert on political campaigns He
should be big help.
1t is very unfortunate that Republic
cans in Maryland have on their hands
United States Senator who has proved to
be a nice gentleman but not much of a
national legislator. And it is amazing the
number of Republican leaders In Mary
land especially in Montgomery County,
who wish the senior Senator from Mary
land Mr.. Butler, will quietly slip back to
his beautiful home outside of Baltimore
so that the Republicans could get
younger, and more aggressive candidate
to oppose the Democrats.
Senator Butler likes the Senate He likes
the exclusive club atmosphere: And he likes
the idea of being United States Senator.
And who could blame him? But he isn't doing
his Grand Old Party any good by staying in
a race he can't win, especially if the Demo-
cratic candidate is a young, intelligent and
aggressive man.
1t is going to be difficult for many Re.
publican leaders to pretend to be for John
Marshall Butler for the Senate when actu-
ally they are for Blair Lee 1t will be Just
as difficult for these Republicans as it was
for the vast number of Democratic leaders
who had to pretend they were for John r.
Foley for Congress when all along they want.

Congressman Charles Matthias is rolling
up an excellent record in Congress. He seems
to have the right idea on how freshman
Congressman should act. At least, veteran
Members of Congress have said Matthias has
a great future ahead of him. And this comes
from Democratic leaders as well as Repub-
licans. The older boys down on the Hill can
spot freshman with a future
1t has been pointed out several times in
this space that perhaps Mr.. Matthias was max.
ing mistake by not naming an Administra.

We residents in the suburban
area of Lower Montgomery
County are especially fortunate
in the opportunities we have to
enjoy natural woods and stream
areas close at hand. The vari.
Gus stream valley parks, such
as Sligo Creek and the North

as well as the new Wheaton

TuWes Should Go
It's time for j. Millard Tawes to bow out grace
fully from the Democratic gubernatorial race
It's time for the Governor to keep the one-term
pledge he gave party leaders four years ago.
It's time for him to place party unity above per-
sonal ambition and give way to newer more aggres-
sive and more progressive leadership.
Recent Independent polls have shown Tawes far
behind former Republican Governor Theodore R. Nc
Kedin in voter preference. And political soundings
throughout the State have uncovered tremendous
mdercurent of antagonism against the veteran East
ern Shore Democrat.
Surely the Governor has been in politics long
enough to know when the tide is running against him.
Certainly he is realistic enough to look at his record
and recognize it poor one, devoid of any major
accomplishments.
He must know that if he persists in his candidacy,
the result only be resounding defeat not only for
himself but for the Democratic Party generally
throughout Maryland.
There has been considerable talk recently about
the formation of slate headed by Daniel Brewster for
Governor and Blair Lee ILL., for United States Senator.
Both young, active, open-rnnded and anxious
to infuse new energy and new blood into Marylands
Democratic Party.
Both men represent the Free States two largest
counties Baltimore and Montgomery. They have a
record of progressive legislation, Brewster in the
House of Representatives and Lee in the House of
Delegates.
They are the kind of men Maryland needs to re-
store to the State the drive and vision it once held
under leaders like Governor w. Preston Lane and
Senator Willard Tydings These were men with ambi-
tious programs and with the courage and determine
ton to push those programs through to completion
Above all, they were men who placed their State
and their Nation above compromise and machine pol
itics They did not hesitate to fight for what they be-
eved necessary for the benefit of all the voters
even though their own political futures were en-
. dangered
The times cry for leadership and Governor
Tawes is not, and has been, leader. The times
cry for action, not excuses-and Governor Tawes has
been quick to blame others for the shortcomings of
his own administration. The times cry for men who
unafraid-and Governor Tawes is the very epitome
of caution.
If Governor Tawes refuses to hear the bell tolng
for him, it is up to other party leaders to dump him,
not only in the interest of the Democratic Party but
for the sake of good, progressive government in
Maryland.

it should be done. One person designated for
that position is an almost must in any well.

Therefore, it is good to hear that Mac
Matthias has made up his mind to appoint
an Administrative Assistant who will be
his right hand and his office manager.
And Il is good to learn that this person
lives in Montgomery County and is known
to be highly qualified for the position.
The announcement of this appointment

tor weren't just whistling in Dixie. The
announcement was based on something be-
sides hope. The details haven't been pieced
together as yet but there Is a real possibility
that Congressman Danny Brewster will agree
to run for the Governorship. A term or two
in the Governors House and then few in
the Senate would provide the people with the
type of official in whom they could look with
pride.
The combination of Blair Lee and Danny
Brewer would be hard to beat. Both are
young, intelligent and aggressive. Both know
the political score Both have friends through.

longer depend upon the Democrats to put up
old hacks and thereby win by default. The
Maryland COP has been lucky. They should
know it. They should also know that they
have to find younger and more intelligent
Republicans to oppose younger and more in-
telligent Democrats.
1862 is going to be a great political
year in the State Of Maryland. You will
witness, and even participate in, the shift
from one generation of politician to
younger one. II is the same thing that
happened 40 years ago. And we hope the
men who get the big positions in 1862
will remember rs years from now and be
willing to move aside for younger and
more aggressive candidates.
The present Governor and the current
Senators have had their share of glory. And
too, they have given to the State of Maryland
much of themselves Now it is time for others
to do the same.
In the meantime, 1t Is good to ad.
vance the theory that one of the best
legal minds in the State Of Maryland and
leader of Democratic politics in Mont.
gOmery County, is about to learn that he
has been appointed a Federal Judge for
Maryland.
State Senator Edward Northrop may
know by now that he has been appointed to
this high post. None in Maryland could fill
it any better. He has the mind the tempera-
ment and the ability to serve well
If he gets the post, and it seems fairly
certain at this point, he will follow his former
law partner, Judge Hart, Republican, to the
Federal Bench.
