Prince Georges Parks

Your July 5 article, Model
Park System Grows in Mary
land" might well have been
called THE Power of Positive
Parking" While there is no
major factual error, the Polly
annaish conclusions drawn
from a haphazard selection
of figures distort the entire
picture.
Montgomery and Prince
Georges may have rescued"
5,783 acres Of open space, but
less than 200 acres of this
lies in Prince Georges (exclud-
ing Capper-Cramton land).
The few Federal and State
parks in the county are not
under the jurisdiction of the
Park and Planning CommiS-
sion.
The Park" or "Metropoli-
tan" District of the county
boundaries established by
law takes up about one
quarter of county land. With
three quarters beyond the
control of the commission,
for park purposes, the rosy
picture dims-the bulldozers
are active beyond the legal
boundary.
When the planning commits
sion was established in 1927
the permitted assessment rate
was 2 cents, not 3 cents, but
it was not levied for 10 years.
In 1888, a Scent tax was
levied. 1t was suspended in
1941Hand reinstated in 1916
as 5 cents. All this failude to
collect and spend money on
parks has created a gap in
Prince Georges that cannot
be closed, even with recent
increases in the park tax. The
asking price for the proposed
site of the regional library
has gone up 200 per cent in
four years, and other land
costs show a similar increase.
We are delighted at the
prospect of a park of some
type within three-quarters of
a mile of every home, but
this is in the planning stage.
To quote the planning COM
missions own Looking
Ahead, 1958-198O":: Lack of
money, a relatively minor
point in making plans, be-
comes a major obstacle in
realizing them" This past
fiscal year no money was
spent on park land acquisi-
ton in Prince Georges. Since
1859, the commission has re-
peatedly reported Gin it's
adopted budget) funds avail
able for park land purchase
which had not even gotten
beyond the requesting stage.
When funds were approved,
the County Commissioners
failed to issue the bonds. In
1960-61, for example, only
II per cent of the park bud
get was available for land
purchase, not one-half.
We Prince Georges resi-
dents are tired of seeing our
children playing in the
streets for lack of recreation
al facilities. Even the touted
vacant lots" used by old res
idents are no longer available.
The proposed land for the
Prince Georges version of a
George Washington Memorial
Parkway (first included in
Capper- -Cramton recommen-
dations in 1931) is already
being bulldozed without zon-
ing amendmpnt) and a sow
age plant is to be erected
directly across from Mount

first months in power.
In a recent ably written
article, "The Economist" (of
London) surveyed the first
months Of the Kennedy ad-
ministration. 1t seemed to
miss, as many Americans
have done, the essential es-
sence of John F. Kennedy
as President. 1t Is this:
He is willing to assume re-
sponSibility. He is willing to
deal with critical problems
without trying to put them
aside.
The Cuban failure is an
example. 1t was an increas-
ingly critical problem not
dealt with in bygone years.
He did not put it aside. He
was thrown for a loss. But,
again, he has not put the
Cuban problem aside. Mr..
Castro is not yet out of the
woods.
Congress Seems Remiss
Because the basic problem
of Latin America was for
so long put aside, its critical
nature is now one of the
more dismaying and chal-
longing prospects before us.
1t could be put aside until
it exploded. 1t may be too
late to do what is necessary.
The Congress itself may
grievouSly complicate the sit
uation. But President Ken
nedy will not put it aside.
The decision to reverse a
previous decision and go to
Vienna to confront Premier
Khrushchev is another ex-
ample.
Among the conclusions
reached by THE Economist"
were these:
". He has not yet as
sumed his part as the coun-
try's teacher on the great
serious issues. For ex-
ample, Mr.. Kennedy criticized
his predecessor for failing
to provide moral leadership
on Negro rights, but last week
he himself kept almost 81

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS

There was one recent change in
the Social Security law that, while
minor, directly or indirectly affects
everybody under 70 receiving old
age or survivors insurance benefits,
This was a change in the so-called
retirement test.
Under the old law, a person could
earn 1900 and receive all of his
monthly Social Security benefits.
One dollar in benefits was withheld,
however, for each So he earned
from $1,000 to $1,000, and 81 for
each 81 earned over 81, 500. Under
the new law, only 81 is withheld
for each So earned from 81 200 to
$1,7O0, with an additional dollar
withheld for each dollar earned
over $1,700.
This means that under the new
law person eligible for Social Sc
curity benefits may earn up to
II, 700 and receive more in total
earnings and benefits than under
the old law. OF course, for each 81
earned over $1,7O0, 81 is withheld

WASHINGTON - Plans are
now being made to wage and all
out campaign to get the people Of
the European nations in the habit
of eating peanuts and peanut pro-
ducts.
It seems almost unbelievable that
peanuts are practically unheard Of
in Europe. But it's true, and there
is a tremendous market to be deve-
Hoped which would mean great
deal to the farm economy of North
Carolina.
Realizing the potential for pea
nuts in the European countries, the
North Carolina Farm Bureau and
the American Farm Bureau are CO.
operating with other producer
groups in introducing peanuts to
the people of Europe. The cam
paign win be carried on through
the Farm Bureau Trade Develop
ment office in Rotterdam.
There is every indication that
peanuts could become a major food
item in most of the European ma
tions. With the favorable economic
situation that exists in most. Of
Western Europe, there is almost
unlimited opportunity to increase
the dollar sales Of peanuts in this
area of the world At the present
The coastland times with which is combined the pilot and herald of Belhaven and Swan Quarter. [volume] (Manteo, N.C.) 1959-1973, 1961-09-22

time, we are exporting - primarily
in the form of oil - about so mill
lion pounds of peanuts year. If
proper emphasis is given to pro-
noting peanuts, our total exports
could double or treble in a very
short period Of time.
There should also be a good OPP
portunity for expanding the con-
sumption Of peanuts and peanut
products in many of the under de-
Hoped countries of the world. To my
knowledge, no real effort has been
made to move peanuts into export
channels through Public Law 480,
under which we sell surplus farm
products to foreign nations for local
currency. Since there is a substan-
tial surplus of certain types of pea
nuts, there should be no reason why
we could not utilize Public Law 480
as a vehicle to introduce peanuts to
many areas of the world where we
cannot sell them for dollars.
At a time when we are deeply
concerned with over-production il
agriculture, it is encouraging to me
to know that farm organizations
are taking the initiative to develop
new markets for a product thai
should be hit anywhere in the
world.

made to give more hunters better
chance to obtain their choice Of
hunting dates. Another change
makes blind reservations non-trans-
ferable. Applicants getting blind
reservations as a result of the pub
lie drawing may list members Of
their party on the application form
when it is submitted, or will have
until October 81 to list or amend
party composition. Reservations
will not be honored on the day as
signed unless the original applicant
or one Of the party members listed
constitutes a member Of the hunt
ng party involved.
A total of SO blinds will again
be available this year, and the
1861 Legislature removed the 400
p. m. restriction on shooting hours
in Hyde County. Complete details
on processing applications are con-
tanned on the forms.
