II Percent County
Taxes Are Collected

The records in the office of Jo-
Seph H. WEIGH, county treasurer,
show that II percent of the 1861
real and personal property taxes
have been collected to June 30,
the end of the discount period for
total of 1898, 25048, but that the
County Commissioners had Dor
rowed an additional $4,000 to
help pay bills.
These figures were obtained this
week from the treaSurer'S office,
which also showed expenditures to
date of S86O,516.O5.
There is balance on hand
amounting to S88,73443, indicating
actually the county was in the red
at the present moment by $21,-
265.57, if the loan were to be paid
back today.
Welch's records also showed a
total of $3O,833.09 as uncollected
real tax for 1860 and S12,05426 I'M
collected in personal property tax
for 1860. He pointed out that 1860
taxes are now considered de-
linquent and must be paid in full
before many weeks. If not paid by
a prescribed date, as provided by
law, the properties where tax is
not paid will be sold at tax sale.
Welch also revealed that to date
1,588 dog licenses had been sold.
The discount period for the pay
ment of taxes expired on June 80
and interest will be charged be-
ginning in September. There was
five percent discount on county
taxes paid in January and Febru-
airy, four percent on taxes paid in
March and April, and three per-
cent on taxes paid in May and
June. There is no discount on
state taxes.
While II percent of the 1861 real
and personal property taxes have
been collected, only 80 percent of
those assessed through the State
Tax commission have been re-
turned to the county up to the
present time, he said.

Three Young Girls
Lost All Night In
Swallow Falls Area

Three young girls became lost
in the Swallow Falls area last
Saturday night, but found their
way to safety the following morn
ing without undue hardship other
than a slccpless eight hours.
A large searching party had
secured the area most of the night
and the Oakland firemen and the
National Guard we're called out to
assist Sunday morning just before
the girls appeared on the high
way at the Youghioghcny river
bridge.
The girls we're Phyllis Gang, IS
daughter of MI. and Mrs. Albert
Gang; Anna Lee, Ia, daughter of
MIR. and Mrs. Harry Lewis; and
Deborah Simpson, II, daughter of
Mrs. Mary Simpson, all of Balti-
more.
While the men fished and the
women talked the girls started
out on an exploring session. They
crossed the hanging bridge above
Muddy Creek Falls and journeyed
deeper into the woods When they
did not appear at the picnic area
by early evening the parents be-
came alarmed They asked the
assistance of State Troopers Rob-
crt Henlinc Donald Tucker
Sheriff James Frantz, Deputy
Wayne Wilt, a number of friends
and the state fOresters. They
searched in vain throughout the
night.
The next morning after the Oak
land firemen and National Guard
members had been alerted, the
girls appeared at the YOughio-
gheny river bridge They said they
had huddled together for warmth
during the night and decided to
take it easy until daylight They
finally worked back to Muddy
Creek and then took the trail
along the river to the bridge. They
we're wet from the dew on the
high grass and said they had spent
very chilly night. They said they
had become bcWildered when it
began to get dark.
The Lewis girl is granddaugh-
ter of Mrs. May Lewis, of Oak
land. The parents of all three
girls said they were very grateful
for the interest of those who
spent many hours in the fruitless
search.

Legal Questions

But leaving aside the moral
question, are the sit-inS legal?
What about the question Of prop
erty rights and the matters Of
trespassing and disturbing the
peace?
Last Monday. the Supreme
Court decided to review three
cases involving is or more Negro
lunch-counter demonstrators who
refused to leave o Baton Rouge
store and were arrested and con-
victed Of disturbing the peace.
The court, which In recent years
has rarely ruled against Negroes
in racial cases, may shed some
light on the above questions be-
fore it adjourns for the summer.
The invalidation Of laws enacted
by the State Of Louisiana in its
efforts to bar integration Of the
public schools In New Orleans was
expected.
The decision was foreshadowed
by the court when, last December
IL, it denied q request that 1t stay
ruling by a three Judge Federal
Court which knocked out the
State statutes.
It appears that .integration Of
Louisiana public schools Is legally
assured. But 1t may be q long,
long time before the actual ac-
complishment on q Statewide

impression Of his tenure in gov
ernment. His reply went like this:

canvas" -
Good Motivotions
There are many other good mo-
tivations. One was brought home
to me recently. / was riding back
through darkly- lit downtown
Washington, past the Monument
and the White House, on New
Years Eve with a man now in his
eighties, who served with distinc-
ton under five Presidents begin
ming with Theodore Roosevelt and
ending with Truman. He peered
through the window at the pass
ing scene he had viewed so often.
I inquired as to his thoughts.
Simply, he said: II was thinking
of all the fine, wonderful people
I've known in this town" :.
And so--love of country, a de-
sire to be an active, living part Of
his times, associating with fine
people in q good cause-these are
some Of the better motivations for
national public service.

In the District Of Columbia
loans have been provided as
follows:
Beth Jacob School of Wash
mgton ------------------$2,336
Hebrew Academy Of WASH

Academy Of Notre Dame 5000
The largest Of the three Mary
land loans was $10,5O0 for the
Talmudical Academy of Baltimore
and in Virginia $500 for the
Fishburne Military Academy at
Waynesboro.
Only about 8 per cent Of the
$40 million authorized funds has
been borrowed. There are several
reasons for this: Cd Catholic
school programs for science, math-
ematics and foreign language
equipment had been planned be-
fore the law was enacted. AS q
result relatively few parochial
schools have benefited so far.
However. lending to these institu-
tions is expected to rise because
the new parochial school plans will
take advantage Of the loan pro-
gram. (2) There has been q ira
ditional resistance on the part Of
many private and Independent
schools to the use Of Federal funds
for fear Of alternating local sup
port. Also, many Of these schools

what are the values to be empha-
sized?
First, let us review a few that
should not be stressed.
National public service should
not be held out as a door to per-
sonal power and wealth. Out of
this motivation comes the putting
aside Of the public interest and
the fayoring Of private interest
either of the public servant him
self or Of some person, faction or
enterprise whose favor the public
official hopes to enjoy then or
later. Here is the root of the
problem of conflicts Of interest.
This motivation cannot exist
alongside. q single-minded loyalty
to the public interest.
Taking care Of No. 1"-worship
at the altar of personal success in
terms Of power or wealth--this
philosophy Of the '20s may be
still appropriate for much Of the
private sector Of our society, but
is not the right motive for ma
tional public service. For that we
need men and women Of integrity
who will not let personal ambition
or prospects Of financial gain cut
across their fulfillment Of q public
trust.
Said Plato in the Republic:
Whereas If they go to the ad-
rninistration Of public affairs, poor
and hungering after their own pri-
vate advantage, thinking that
hence they are to snatch the chief
good, order there can never be,
for they will be fighting about Of
flee, and the civil and domestic
broils which thus arise will be the
ruin Of the rulers themselves and
Of the whole State"
Nor should national public serv-
ice be held out as an easy or
pleasant life where one can avoid
the stress of competitive society,
being bundled comfortably In the
secure lap Of bureaucracy.
To participate in national public
service today is to enter the
toughest and most demanding
competition Of all time. It OUT
strips golf, tennis or business and

No Estimates

Some administration proposals
carried no official price estimates
the feed grains program, for
example. Overall expenditures,
therefore. could be more than
now anticipated.
The separation Of the budget
into non-defense and military
sections raises doubts and ques-
tio1s. It is hoped that it viii be
a one-shot arrangement.
While defense costs have gone
up steadily in recent years they
have not increased at the same
rate as non-defense items, the
figures since 1855 being IA and 26
per cent, respectively.
BY segregating defense costs,
the erroneous impression is ad-
vanced that they are the sole
reason for our soaring national
debt and high taxes.
Not many argued with Mr.. Ken
nedy's observation that his pred
ecessor was too optimistic, in his
revenue estimates and prediction
Of a quick economic upturn.
But while he, several months
later. Is more realistic, he, too,
may turn out to have been too
optimistic on revenues and on ex-
penditlires.
