ANNAPOLIS, Jan. l0.-Bills
to ban pinball machines in
Prince Georges County were
dropped in the legislative hop

Identical bills were sponsored
by Delegate Carlton r. Sickles

Some members of the Prince

Gated a GOODNESS towad pinball

split the county legislators.
A bill to ban the machines
has been requested by State
Attorney William L. Kahler of
Prince Georges. He said that
the machines are considered
gambling devices by the Treas

have created bad publicity for
the county in recent years.
Internal Revenue records

although gambling is illegal in
the county.
Legislator Discussion
Lansdale G. Sasscer, jr.,
chairman Of the Prince Georges
legislative delegation. said
county legislatures will meet
this week to discuss the pinball
machine issue.
There was some indication
that some county legislators
might seek a compromise bill
which would ban multiple

type that would be less con-
ducive to gambling.
Senator Wheatley said that
some effective legislation"
should be enacted against PIN
balls.
THE States Attorney thinks
more stringent legislation should
be passed. and Mr.. Kahler's bill
to ban pinball machines will be
given consideration" he said.
The States Attorney says

HELLO MANTEO SAYS AN Old
RESIDENT NOW HOME AGAIN

One of your citizens asks: "What
is there about the 'Coastland' to
remain a continual challenge; to
fire on with constantly renewing
and subsiding resolutions to do
something worth while? What is it
that makes dreams, and arouses
high craving, and makes ones
imagination stir with uncomforta-
BILE awakening"
Many and varied are the answers
to those questions. In beautifully
written prose he answers many of
those and other questions, in the
first chapter of his book, "The Old
Sea Captain and The Drummer"
l met your distinguished citizen,
Victor Meekins, through the me
dion of correspondence several
years ago. Circumstances prevent
ed me from meeting him personally
until today. And then was answer
ed a question stated just bit diff
ferently, this way: Comfortably?
and actually awakened? The reliza-
ton of why the coastland and its
people gives one such a deep down
good feeling of being a part of it.
In Philadelphia, (where l live),
a city of millions, one can not, and
does not, greet everyone he meets
on the street, it would be impos-
sible. But in Manteo, All! the sit
uation changes.
Getting off the Norfolk bus with
an overcoat on one arm and ira
yelling bag dangling from a burd-
ened right hand, l was instantly
greeted by we'll bearded citizen,
whom / must confere l thought
was a beatnick. Not so, this was
someone trying for honors in the
Pirates Jamboree celebration.
Why should he speak to me?
Quickly, 1 returned his greeting.
Heck man! wake up, you're in your
homeland, the "Coastland". Where
a knowledge of who you are is not
important; you're people, strang
er, maybe, but not for long you
may find, as / did on another oc-
casion, that the man, introduced
by Mr.. Meekins, was Mr.. .......-..-
O'Neil, from Ocracoke, "my garden
spot of the world.
Thanks to the many folks I was
introduced to during lunch at Fear
ing's Restaurant. And thanks to
my host Victor Meekins, for that
memorable occasion. Why can't I
remember all their names. / do
hope my host will remember and
name them.
I am rushing against time. 1
must make the mail bus to Halter
as. But before 1 do, let me also
thank for their hospitality; Robert
and Madeline Marales, of the Fort
Raleigh Hotel, from the unfortu-
nate Island of Cuba. DIR. Carlos Fin
ley, a graduate of the jefferson
Medical College, the descoverer of
the mosquito that caused yellow
fever was an uncle of Mr.. Marales.
This dreaded disease was stamp
ed out by DR.. Finley in 1900.
Thanks folks of Manteo, thanks
for a short but pleasant visit.

Light The Fire

November is the crisp month"; the month when an
early morning quick breath Is made up Of tiny siyers
Of ice instead Of air. when the frosted grass cTaces
underfoot when the blowing leaves crunch through
the air before the wind instead Of flying
Bright clean mornings typfy the month, although
November can become as somber funeral march
with its qickgathering clouds hanging low the
denuded trees.
There are the early morning blues Of exhaust
fumes curling from nacrlstomedly cold auto engines;
there the yellow shafts Of sunlight cutting dust
notes like knife; there are the brilliant shades of
the evergreens longer hidden by the oaks naples
and hic<orieg.
There Is the sound Of children, their voices sharp
in the crisp afternoon air. their spirits heightened by
the breeze which comes air-condtioned from Canada
There is the crisp delight Of anticipation the
mountaineering thoughts Of Thanksgiving dinner -
because November is also the month Of odors turkey
apples, cranberries, pumpkin pie, mincemeat pie,
cocoanut cakes.
Nights fall quickly, driving living things to cover
The children come In, their cheeks Redeemed, their
fingers Icy - "Mommie, feel my hands," The COM
muter shivers on his way from the warm auto to
the even warmer kitchen - whats for supper?D
The housewife turns from her stove whatever she
says, she means "November's for supper"
Yes November Is the crisp month II can be
cruel month, but most Of us think Of 1t as time for
friendness, time for families to regain their In
timacy, good time.
The deeper colds Of winter with their snow and
Ice, are stu In the future. The gray days seem far
away.
Right now, light the fire - it's November

Political Lesson

effort Observers close to the scene In New
Jersey are beginning to report another factor
ia the campaign which may have been more
decisive than any Of the others mentioned,
"sit-down" strike among certain disaffected
Republican leaders and their workers. This
occurred in segment Of the party which felt
that Mitchell was too liberal" IT Is under.
standabIe that some could feel that way, but
what is incomprehensibIe is that by @ab-
staining they are willing to throw the cleo.
ton to the opposite party candidate. In short
sighted fashion they were attempting to use
a general election to accomplish a party

seryatiye" candidate then the onus is on their
failure to do so at the appropriate time.
This matter of factionalism is one of the
most important facts of political life today.
1t exists in both parties at almost every level
of government. Each is blessed or cursed
depending on how you look at it, by Liberal
and Conservative wing, and the real essence
of political argument can be found in the
issues raised by those two areas of political
philosophy. Elections at the local level will
increasingly be decided by the sort of thing
that seems to have taken place in New
Jersey, if candidates and party leaders fail to
take steps to court and placate the disaffected
in their own ranks. The big lesson in New
Jersey is that a candidate can i'll afford to
take all of his own people for granted. There
is little that he can do about the borderline
registrants who honestly feel that the opposi.
ton candidate is more to their liking But
he can and must take the time to win the
confidence and support of those disgruntled
who may be tempted to go fishing on election
day. All of this is an added drain on the time
and energy of the candidate, but New Jersey
shows that it can be an indispensable element
of victory. And as General Macarthur said
of battle There can be no substitute for
victory"
