1t. Col. James o. Brennan,
Executive Officer, Ohio State
Headquarters presented on
behalf of Col. R. E. Clouse,
State Director Of Selective
Service a length of service a
ward to Carl G. HofStetter,
Chairman Of Local Board No.
46, Geauga County as a re-
suit of his having completed
10 years service with the Sell
ective Service Board. Mr.
Hofstetter' award was in the
form of a certificate which
was signed by the President,
the Governor, the Director of
Selective Service and the ST.
ate Director.
1t. Col. Brennan lauded the
fine work which had been
rendered the public by Mr..
HofStetter by saying Il feel
it is a unique situation when
public spirited citizens re-
main associated with an or
ganization for a number of
years on a completely uncom~
pensated basis. Certainly the
officers in National and State
Headquarters are aware of
h e tremendous problems
with W h h Local Board
members are required to
cope and for which they re-
ceive nothing but our thanks.
This service award should be
retained with pride since it
represents a service to the
nation which can not be mea-
Sured in terms of dollars and
cents.
1t. Col. Brennan also con-
graduated the Board on the
response Of the regiStrants in
submitting information and
changes of address so that the
board files are complete and
current. He felt that the re-
gistrants should be encoura-
ged to call at the office to dis
cuSS their problems. The re-
SponSe to the Presidents mes
sage in July has been moss
gratifying. Mr.. Hofstetter or
iginally became associated
with Selective Service in Ge-
auga County in 1851. He re-
ceived congratulations from
Charles H. Garfield and Noah
Banks who are also members
of the Board, Helene Tocor-
sic, Co-ordinator and Hilda

Long before Christ came upon the
earth, men were resorting TO pray
er for divine help.
Realizing the power Of prayer,
the people of Israel prayed often
in appeal for Gods blessings and
in gratitude for His favors. Almost
everyone, in fact, insrinctively feels
the need for prayer-especially in
times of danger and emergency.
IL might seem, therefore, that
everyone knows how TO pray >. :.
that the form, language and OBJ
jecrives of prayer are not imPor-
tant :. that God will listen as
readily TO the prayers of the un-
religious as 20 those of the devout.
Some will undoubtedly say, no.
body need tell US how TO pray"
And yet the Apostles, watching
as Jesus prayed, became aware for
the first time of the mighty power
of a proper prayer. They could see
on the Savior;s face as He prayed,
the reflection of a great inner
peace and refreshment.
So they said TO Jesus: Lord,
teach US to Pray!" And Christ re-
piled: Pray thus. Our Father,
Who art in heaven, hallowed be
Thy name. Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on earth as ir is
in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread, and forgive us our
debts as we also forgive our debt
ors. And lead us not into tempta-
rion, but deliver us from evil"
The words of the Lords Prayer,
of course, are enshrined in the
hearts of Christians everywhere.
Yet Christ, in giving us this most
beautiful prayer of all, did not tell
us to pray tbi5". What He said
was: Pray tba5".
He meant that we must pray
with the realization that God IS
Evening star., 1961-11-12

truly our Father Il that His name
shall be revered as no other :. that
His will is TO be done here and
hereafter that we are to be truly
sorry for our injustices to Others,
and forgiving of those who injure
us. :. and that we are TO avoid sin.
People who question the value
of prayer will often say they have
tried it and 1T didn't work" They
mean by this, of course, that God
did not grant the things for which
they prayed. With a better under
standing of proper prayer, they
would realize that an appeal for
Gods favor is only one Of various
kinds of prayer and that God
does not grant every favor we ask.
Proper prayer is not merely a
petition for blessings. IL is also an
expression of our love, devotion
and gratitude to God. our ac-
ceptance of God as our Father -.
a submission of our wishes and
our will to His wishes and will.
The words of many beautiful
prayers are readily available, but
the important thing is to under
stand the true meaning of proper
prayer. A special pamphlet on
prayer will be mailed to you upon
request. II will come in a plain
wrapper-and nobody will call on
you. Write for Pamphlet MG-59.

The Whirl

Usually nowadays one hears of nothing
but the Twist" Out in Potomac that has
been changed to the 'Whirl," and that is just
what seems to be going on. Everybodys
doing it, and as a matter of fact so many
people are having parties it's hard to see
where there's anyone left to go.
The Robert Lavells on Logan dr..
started things off last week with their an.
nual Christmas party where everyone has
the opportunity to get the real Christmas
spirit carolling. The piano and organ in the
Lavell home accompanied the carollers, both
before and after the buffet dinner was
served.
'Tricia Begley's debut party on the Goth
was the big event for the younger set. About
300 of her friends were invited to the party
at the Washington Club, where they danced
all night to Sidney's music. A midnight sup
per was served amid the Christmassy decora-
tons of holly green, and red and white carna-
TONS Prior to the dance Miss Dale Morgan
honored the deb with dinner party for 40,
at her parents home on River I'd.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert c. Jones, Jr., were
hosts to many friends at their new home on
Stoney Creek I'd. on December 21. They
chose an evening cocktail and buffet party
to celebrate the holidays.
Another December 81 party was given
by Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Fentress for their
Chevy Chase and Fox Meadows friends. The
Fentress's invited over so for their annual
Christmas buffet.
Mrs. Edward CROUCH entertained last
week at coffee" for her Potomac friends,
and prior to this had previously feted the
"Plain Dirt Gardeners" members of her
garden club.
Christmas Eve was a most popular date.
Carol and Bob Ladd invited their Durham
DIR. neighbors in for cocktails, Jane and
Rum Maddox had family party when every.
one gathered at their home for buffet sup
per. and the Gary Owens hosted an Egg

Good Yeur Ahead

new era of understanding and cooperation be-
tween the Park and Planning Commission and the
County Council appears to be in the making for 1852
At the same time, the School Board, perhaps
with eye to next years general election, is show
ing signs of increased responsiveness to the citizens
We welcome both of these trends and hope the
agencies involved will nurture them they will burst
into full bloom during the next IL months.
The generally favorable reaction to the Planning
Commissions preliminary blueprint for suburban
Marylands growth is most encouraging This attitude
If continued should play major role in bringing the
Planners and the Council closer together as well as
in eliminating the criticism which has hampered the
Commission in carrying on its program so essential
to the orderly development of Montgomery and Prince
Georges counties.
Much of this criticism was ill-founded, judging
from the remarks of the Commissions consultant,
Harland Bartholomew, during last weeks joint
Council Commission session the preliminary gen.
eral plan.
In response to question by Councilman William
F. Hickey, Mr.. Bartholomew stated firmly that the
three watershed plans which had been the subject of
considerable controversy early this year are in gen.
era accord with the detectives Of the general plan
The joint meeting, incidentally was gratifying
gesture of friendship and Cancellation on the part Of
the Commission And there are indications that the
Council is equally prepared to move toward closer
working relationship with the planners including
more frequent meetings Of the two groups.
We also are happy to note the School Boards
heightened of public opinion This sensi-
vty SO absent in the past has been manifested re-
Gently in requiring fngerprintng of all school en-
poyees and in preparing procedures to put into effect
many of the curriculum study committees recon-
mendations.
Finally, on the economic 'front.' more and more
scientific and research industries are finding Mont
gomery County to be most desirable place in which
to locate.
All in ALL it looks like good year ahead.

By Kent Palmer

But If there was the sordid side, 1861
also had a little hope, some kindness and
fair amount of love.
That is what makes it possible for us to
look aheada4o theaNew Year which begins In.
just few Vats
We will continue to keep a wary eye on
the sky, but such is our nature that we can
not dwell on the sordid. One of the biggest
blessings with which humanity is endowed
is the capacity to forget the pain, thDfrus
trations, the fears of the past
In way, that blessing is something Of
paradox because our forgetfulness allows
us to go and repeat our mistakes.
Which leads us to our final thought for
this year.
Perhaps 1862 can be the beginning of the
time when we can extend the spirit that
leads us to do the things we should do at this
holiday season. Perhaps we can be consid.
crate and thoughtful of others throughout
the year.
And that could add to the meaning Of
the phrase The Year That Was Fraught
1t could help us, in that story for our
grandchildren to say that not only was 1861
fraught with a long list of discouraging
words it was also fraught with promise
After all, we've pretty nearly reached
the point where the only way we can go is
up - or get out of the game.
