by all of the young people that

Club last Saturday night.
Perhaps, the spirit of Christ.
mas combined with a spirit of
progress will result in a con-
centrated effort to keep open
the public office of the Rock
vile Chamber of Commerce.
1t would be worth it. 1t has
been useful in the past and the
Chamber should make every
effort to raise the necessary
funds to keep it open.
The Montgomery County
Press Association had it's an
nual Christmas Party at the
Shady Grove Country Club
this year. The publishers of
the various newspapers were
hosts for the Christmas cheer
and the buffet dinner was one
of the best. There were no
speeches just good converse
ton and plenty of greetings
for the season to be jolly.
The Republicans in Mont
gomery County have never
taken a prize for its public
relations programs but they
are now pulling some real
beauts almost every week.
The new public relations
chairman wrote party profile
for one of the Redistribution
papers. In one try, the author
made one person happy and at
least 100 unhappy.
No one on the Republican
or Democratic Committees or
the public relations chairmen
connected thereto should write
exclusive columns on the do
ings of local politics. 1t is the
one best way of getting party
politics in a moose.
Bill Hickey was an excellent
presiding officer of the Coun-
ty Council and it appears that
David Cahoon, newly elected
President of the Council will
also be a top presiding official.
The little boy that was
wandering around the streets

Santa Claus finally found him
in Hechts, delivered his mes

how to get home.

has a new look. All new paint,
paper and furnishings now
grace the place. A beautiful
job was done. One might say
that it has the quiet refined
dignity that one would ex-
pect of Congressional.

There is only one decision you have to
make when buying new Dodge. Which
size suits your family best, compact
or standard? Dart, the car on top, is a
fuII-size Dodge priced model for model
with Ford and Chevrolet. The car on
bottom is our new compact, the Dodge
Lancer. The differences between these
two Dodge automobiles are size; Dart
is the larger, inside and out. Appear
ance; this you can see for yourself.
And price; Dart, as we mentioned
above, is priced car for car with Ford
and Chevy. Lancer costs about the
same (give or take a buck or tWo) as

Comet, Falcon and Corvair. Outside Of
these differences, both cars are virtu-
ally alike. Why? We believe that differ
ences in size, appearance, and price
should not mean differences in quality.
Both Dodge cars have a untitled body,
rust-proofed by a seVen-step dip and
spray process. Both cars have a sus-
pension system invariably called 1.-THE

Chrome-steeI torsion bars up front, off,
center leaf springs at the rear, and an
0rifIoW shock absorber at each wheel.
This combination gives you precise

VertibIe. The compact Dodge Lancer
comes in seven models; two 4-door
sedans, a 2-door sedan, a 2-door hard
top, a Sports Coupe, and two 4-door
wagons. Both Dodge cars offer engines
that are prodigious savers Of gasoline.
Five VS. and an inclined Six in Dart.
Two inclined Skies for Lancer. Before
you decide which car you'd like to own,

Then pick the Dodge that fits you and

choose, you'll get it at the lowest price
possible. It's a fact, standard or COM

Dodge cars have an aIternator. Unlike
a conventional generator, which it re-
places, the aIternator will supply eIec-
tricity at engine idle speeds, even with
the radio on. This means the battery is
kept more fully charged, and will last
much longer than usual. Optional on
both cars is three speed, automatic
transmission, operated by handy push
buttons. We would like to point out,
though the competition is Ioath to ad-
nit it, three speeds are more versatile,
more economical than two. The full

Mrs. Baldrige calls her
family "a real Red Cross
family" and well she might.
Mr.. Baldrige is on the
board Of directors of the Dis

Red Cross Chapter in Wood

in-law, Mrs. Robert Baldrige
is chairman of the chapter

Mrs. Malcolm Baldrige is
the wife Of a prominent
lawyer and the mother of
Mrs. Kennedy's social secre-
tary. but right now she is
busy at her own career, which
includes a search for an organ
grinder and bus drivers.
Mrs. Baldrige is the chair
man Of the recruitment desk
at the District Chapter Of the
American Red Cross and she
is also a vice chairman of
volunteers.
According to the chairman,
workers are needed in all of
the volunteer services, but
most especially in ones deal
ing with the hospitals and in
the Entertainment Service.
The latter group includes
amateur and professional
artists and entertainers, and
junior and senior hoStesses
to fill requests for entertain
ment in hospitals.
And usually, according to
Mrs. Baldrige. the requests
are filled with dispatch. How
ever, one children's ward in
a local hospital has called for
an organ grinder and so far
the District Red Cross has
not been able to come up with
one.
Red Cross workers are
usually thought to be women,
but Mrs. Baldrige points out
that this is not the case.
There is the need for bus

drivers, for instance. Many
times a whole orchestra, or a
large number Of square dane
ing junior hoStesSes have to
be transported to a nearby
civilian or Federal hospital
for an evenings entertain
ment, and this is when we
want big strong male bus
drivers" laughs Mrs. Baldrige.
20 Years Service
This volunteer, who re-
Gently received her 20-year
pin for work in the Red
Cross, points out the tremen-
dous part workers can and
have played in the lives of
people with whom they have
come in contact.
One story she tells involved
a blind service man, who
was hospitalized at the
Bethesda Naval Hospital
here.
When he learned that he
would not regain his sight,
he became despondent and
broke off contacts with his
family and his girl friend
back home.
However, a Red Gross vol
unteer changed all this. The
patient showed an interest
in becoming a disc jockey,
and this interest was en-
couraged.
Finally, the worker con-
vinced him to write to the
girl with a proposal of
marriage.
Mrs. Baldrige quoted the
volunteer as staying off the

romantic issue and bluntly
pointing out to the patient
that "a wife is cheaper than
a seeing-eye dog, and they
live longer" She won her
point. He is now a married
disc jockey.
The first contact a pro-
spective volunteer may make
with the Red Cross could
easily be with Mrs. Baldrige,
who is at the District Chapter
house for interviews one day
a week and one evening a
month.
Should Want Service
Each worker is first inter-
viewed by a member Of the
recruitment desk, then passed
on to the chairman OF the
service he or she has chosen.
Mrs. Baldrige stresses that
volunteers should come in be-
cause they want to serve the
Red Cross.
THE people who come in
because they feel that work
ing for the Red Cross will do
them some good, usually do
not make good volunteers"
she says.
Mrs. Baldrige, who has
bright twinkling hazel eyes,
has been in volunteer work
most of her life.
She first started out in her
home town Of Omaha, where
she did work with the Junior
League and later became
president of the League there.

Kennedy School. Bill
Seen Posing in House


tee Chairman Powell, Democrat
of New York, and Representa-
tive Thompson, Democrat of
New Jersey, manager of the
separate public school aid bill.
Mr.. Powell, the minister of
Harlem's largest Protestant
church, said he was confident
such loans would be held
constitutional.
AsSaiIed by Others
However, the loan proposal
was assailed by SpokeSmen for
a number of Protestant groups.
In a typical comment. DR..
Philip A. johnson, an official
of the National Lutheran
Council, declared vigorous and
uncompromising opposition" to
the plan. He said it would lead
tc "even more insistent de-
mands" from private educators
"for public funds, with the plea
being. You (the public) helped
us build these schools; now it's
up to you to help to support
them"
House sources expressed the
belief that the strong criticism
from leaders of Protestant de-
nomination of the private and
parochial school loans plan
might well defeat it in the
House by stiffening Republican
and Southern Democratic op-
position.
These same sources, on the
other hand, said the outlook
for passing the public school
bill was improved by the rela-
lively moderate tone taken by
a Catholic spokesman toward
the measure.
Months ago, the hierarchy OF
the Catholic Church announced
its opposition to any school
bill whi ch Disseminated
against private and parochial
schools.
When their spokesman, Msgr
Frederick G. Hochwalt of the
National Catholic Welfare Con-
ference, appeared before the
House committee last week in
support of additional private
school aid, Representative Frel-
inghuysen, Republican Of New
Jersey, an opponent of the pub
lie school aid bill, sought to
lure him into a denunciation
of the measure.
| Mr.. Frelinghuysen asked,
How do you feel about the
general aid bill without any
provision for the non-public
schools?"
Msgr. Hochwalt replied. II
regret that it is in that form
and I consider it diScrimina-
tory"
We'll" Mr.. Frelinghuysen
asked, "is there going to be
any effort to improve the bill
on the part of those you repre-
sent, or any effort to oppose
it if it is not so improved"
I'VE would hope to improve
it, If we could" the Mon
signer said. I'VE would GER

The latest odds on school
measures in the House of Rep
resentatives favor:
Narrow passage of President
Kennedy's bill to aid the public
schools.
Narrow defeat of a separate
proposal for construction loans
to private and parochia
schools.
The margins on both bills are
so small, however, that those
close to the scene are making
no final predictions.
Boost For Program
The Kennedy program got a
boost last week when Speaker
Rayburn rejected a move
sparked by his second-in-com-
mand, Majority Leader Nc
Cormack, to give priority to the
private school aid bill on the
House floor.
Mr.. Mccormack, refia able
sources report, argued that a
number of Northern Democrats
from districts with large Cath
olic populations could not sup
port the public school bill un-
less they had prior assurance
that aid to parochial schools
was also forthcoming.
The Speaker, these sources
say, rejected the argument ano
insisted that priority be giver
the public school bill, which has
Ithe Kennedy administration
backing.
AS a result, the outlook is
that the public school measure
will be debated in the House
the last week in June and the
private school bill shortly
thereafter.
Delaying Tactics Possible
Delaying tactics in the House
Rules Committee by opponents
of all Federal school aid coulc
set the whole schedule back 9

has been made to hold the pri-
vate school measure in the
