Holiday Safefy

Radios all the land are now blaring forth the
news that by Monday after the long holiday weekend the
predicted death total highways will be so many
hundreds OF persons And those who off the predc-
tons on the basis of simple arithmetic based on past ex-
perience will no doubt lean back Monday with quiet
satisfaction that they pretty close to predicting ac-
clrately what the death toll would be.
AS the long weekend progresses the people who keep
tabs on such things will let know how many have died
SO far and how the death toll prediction is faIing Every
10 minutes the radio announcers will drop their usual
duce tone reserved for commercials and their voices will
take on note of urgency they realize the full import
OF the grim news they are conveying.
This, we have always believed, was rather futile
exercise and we were glad to the American Automobile
Association last week label the whole business as "a sort
OF Roman Carnival atmosphere that won't save lives"
The fact is as the AAA points out that in relation
to the number of the road holidays there are
fewer accidents than normal weekend So it follows
that on weekend of the So the radio announcer could
make their grim predictions with equal validity So why
only on holidays are subjected to the barrage?
The answer to educating the public on the need for
much greater traffic safety not through scare tactics
on holidays but yearround effort to try to convince all
drivers that simple courtesy the road and observance
OF the traffic laws is the answer.

Les Kimble has done 1t
again! Only this time he must
be answered. I'm fed up with
his allegations against the
Cath olic Church tho, of
course, he doesn't mention it
by name). Now, the Supreme
Court decision on the New
York State school prayer is
used to get in another swing.
1t so happens that there are
hundreds of thousands of de.
cent, God-loving Protestants
and many fine Jews who are
just as concerned as we are
about this matter and who are
also proponents of prayer in
public schools as being simply
the acknowledgment of the
existence of a Supreme Being,
the principle upon which our
country was founded, remem-
Der, Mr.. Kimble? A simple,
voluntary prayer does not con-
stitute the establishment of a
religion" Mr.. Kimble must al
so be aware that the Commu-
nists have written that one of
the ways to break down the
moral fibre of the youth of
America is to remove public
prayer from schools and all
public observances. wonder
what their motives are?
But, of course, Mr.. Kimble
would object to public prayer
as / am convinced he is an
atheist, using his column for
the furtherance of atheism and
as a platform from which to
attack Catholicism. In many
other articles he has deliber-
ately degraded the Catholic
Church, tho, once again, never
calling her by name. 1t is one
thing to use a newspaper col
umn for the expression of
opinions and something very
different to use it to spread
hate and propaganda!
AS for more prayer in public
schools making it easier to get
Federal Aid for parochial
schools, this is nonsense. There
is no real connection between
the two whatsoever. We have
not asked for more prayer in
schools; we only want to keep
what we have.
Yes, we support public pray
er in schools as part of our
American heritage!
Yes, we have asked for Fed
eral Aid IF it is given to all
public schools as we feel that
our children are being discrim-
mated against, and that our
schools may have to go out of
business when it becomes nee
essary to compete with the
services offered by public
schools supported by the Fed

And not In utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:"
Shelley speaks of the future of the soul
also in language which has not been reversed:
1.-THE One remains, the man change and
pass;
Heavens light forever shines, Earths
shadows fly;
Life like a dome of many-coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of Eternity,
Until death tramples it to fragments,-Die
If thou would'st be with that which thou
lost seek
Follow where all is fled-Romes azure sky.
Flowers, ruins, statues, music, words are
weak
The Glory they transfuse with fitting
truth to speak,"
Shakespeare speaks of the relationship of
Man and God in language, which is, as far as
I know, unimpeached by Federal authority:
Look how the floor of heaven
Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold:
There's not the smallest orb which thou
beholdst
But in his motion like an angel sings,
Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins;
Such harmony is in immortal souls;
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it."
As l stated, I read to gain perspective:

ant thereto, these are called
the bundle of rights, among
them is the right to use or not
to use. Police power over pri-
vate ownership, I believe, was
established to limit the use of
property only to the extent of
its effect on the health, safe
ty and welfare of other prop
erty owners.
How, by any stretch of ones
imagination, can an area be
developed by government reg
ulations for the benefit and
pleasure of one group at the
expense of another group?
Chief County Palmer Ar
thur X. Stellhorn complains
that land taking policies of the
incorporated municipali-
ties pose a threat to orderly
county land development.
Since when, may / ask Mr..
Stellhorn, has the meaning of
the right of people, by choice,
to govern themselves through
a local government been
changed to land taking?"
What other action could our
planner expect when he sits
on his throne and tells a per-
son who wants to live in a
specific spot in the upper
county on a half acre lot that
he may not do so?
We are told that we need
a plan, with this l agree, but
what kind of plan does not
include enough land in each
zone to meet the predicted
needs for even a five-year pc
Rod? Are our planners and Of
ficials trying only to be sure
that these zones are estab-
lished in the right spots or are
they trying to be sure that
the right people get the zon-
ing?
Being one who likes to live
in the country, l agree that it
would be very nice to keep the
up county in open spaces, but
not at the cost of giving up a
very important part of the
right of ownership. If the
ideas of dreamers like Mr..
Stellhorn continue to be
adopted by our County Coun-
Gil, about the only benefit de-
rived from the ownership of
property will be to add to the
enjoyment of others.
These conditions exist, I be-
lieve, only because the voters
of the county do not keep
themselves informed on such
m a tiers. The amaZement
voiced continuously after new
regulations have been adopted
is proof of this. Our appointed
officials think the peoples ac-
tons need to be regulated in
a certain manner; they then
present a proposal that will
give them more authority to
the elected officials and be-
cause of a lack OF interest at
a public hearing, il is adopted.

Lend Policies

During the several years
when our charter form of
government was in the max
ing / opposed its adoption be-
cause in principle it creates
taxation without representa-
ton. The people of upper
Montgomery County do not
have the voting power to
elect the councilman whom
they wish to represent them
on the County Council. We of
the second council district are
fortunate indeed to have a
man such as Councilman Grow
er K. Walker whom l believe
has done his best to protect
the interests of the people of
his district, but how can he
or any other councilman who
has thoughts of reelection,
fight the voting power of the
seventh and thirteenth election
districts? I also opposed the
adoption of the charter form
of government because, as
then predicted, it has de-
veloped into a political mon
strosity, spending the taxpay-
ers dollars without even an
occasional thought of economy,
and imposing unreasonable
and unnecessary regulations
on the use and development
of their property and land.
In the study of real estate
appraisal l was taught that
when a person owns property
In fee simple he is assumed
to have all the rights attend.

LAZENBERRY. NORTH CENTRAL COMMUNITY
COUNCIL CHAIRMAN MAKES RAPS
ST. PAUL HOUSING AUTHORITIES

Before a capacity audience at
the Halle Q. Brown Community
House in st. Paul Leroy Lazen-
berry, chairman of the North Cent
raj Community Council, gave a
scathing denunciation Of st. Paul
authorities on the subject of Urban
Renewal when he stated Urban
Renewal can become a reality in
the Selby-Dale area where over
85% of the Negroes in st. Paul
live when the city authorities are
sufficiently motivated to prop
erly treat that area as the top
priority rehabilitation area it is,
and can make Urban Renewal
work efficiently with a properly
enforced housing code and city
officials with the courage and en-
ergy to make it work."
Mr.. Lazenberry defined the stru-
ture of Urban Renewal as it ap-
plies in the city of st. Paul trac-
ing its chain of authority from the
Housing and Home Finance Agen-
cy in Washington, DC. through
the regional offices in Chicago,
Illinois to the local Housing and
Redevelopment Authority.
He explained what the communi-
ty stood to gain through establish
ment of Urban Renewal in the
predominantly Negro populated
area Of st. Paul as well as what
that community stood to lose
through the denial of the benefits
of Urban Renewal in that area.
"As a result of the Freeway
through the heart of the Negro
neighborhood we now live on prime
land" stated Mr.. Lazenberry, THE
value Of the land adjacent the
Freeway is rising and will con-
tinue rise. If it is valuable to the
city because of its increased tax
base, and if it is valuable to real
estate developers because Of its
investment possibilities then it is
valuable to you who live on it and
have possession of it, and it then
becomes imperative that we bind
ourselves together in a common
monumental effort to make it
worth keeping -rehabilitate where
rehabilitation is needed, conserve
where conservation is needed. This
is our job, to obtain and secure
for our community the physical,
social and moral benefits which
make a community worth living
in. We are dedicated to this end!
We shall do everything in our
power to gain these ends in spite
of the representations of a city
board, in spite of weak
willed and double-tall1ing polite
ians, and in spite of an impotent
and supine housing authority"

Acca, Ghana (ANP) - More

tempted assassination of President
Kwame Nkrumah as police pressed
their search for terrorists who
hurled bomb near his car.
The explosion did not hurt
Nkrumah but a schoolboy and
three other persons, including two
policemen, were killed by the
blast. Fifty-six persons were in
jured, among them cabinet minis
ters and senior government offic-
ials.
The demonstrators against the
bombings here carried placards de-
handing the death penalty for
the plotters." Previous plots have
been reported against the Presi-
dents life but this was believed
the first actual attempt to take
his life.
While police questioned rs per-
sons seized after the bombing,
Nkrumah rested in the northern
regional capitol of Tamale. EearH-
er, he underwent a precautionary
medical examination.
Messages of sympathy were re-
ceiVed here, including cablegrams
from Queen Elizabeth and Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan of
