brought before the people in a
referendum.
The League additionally
never takes a stand on any ques-
ton until it has been studied
and a consensus taken.
But here was a big issue,
Mrs. Derryberry recOunted.
From the moment the bill
was passed, she sadi, there
were "rumbles" of disap-

leagues were formed.
The Montgomery County Lea
que could not take an independ-
ent stand on state legislation
without the sanction of its state
board. But, as public service, the
county League agreed to have
petitions printed and provide
notaries for volunteers who
were organizing to fight the
bill.
Meanwhile, the League sound
ed out other county leagues at
state board meeting but for
NAL approval awaited the lea
que convention Only 10 days
remained between the conven-
ton and the deadline for getting
the signed and notarized petit
tons to Annapolis.
The state convention approx
ed and the county League went
to work, joined by church and
civic organizations and both
political parties in the bipartisan
move to defeat the redistricting
bill.
Mrs. Derryberry said that a
good three-quarters" of the
membership participated and
people Joined the League just
to work" on this one project.
With the slogan ''Vote No on
Question 6" the League rolled
UP more than 10000 signatures
on petitions circulated through
out the county. Cooperation of
other county Leagues brought
the total to over 10000 through
out the state. Such petitions re-
quired 10000 signatures with no
more than 5000 needed from
any one county.
On election day more than
800 League members manned
the cOunty's 8O-Odd polling
places. The referendum was
overwhelmingly defeated.
Mrs. Derryberry's house on
MacLean Drive in Bethesda was
the scene of a large part of the
petition notarizing activity.

League Of Woman Voters

The hound, Martha Jane Bas-

She's a jovial creature with de-

stitutes a good joke.

Before satellites were per-

that can provide "for the first
time a truly global cloud census

distribution" he said.
Clouds are so important be-
cause they are a natural ther-
moStat for the earth, DR.. Wex-
Ter explained. AS the earth's
average cloud cover changes,
the average perature
changes also-and the change
need not be great to alter con-
ditions tremendously, he point
ed out. The average tempera-
ture during the last ice age
was only about. Is degrees
Fahrenheit lower than today's
average.
Future weather satellites will

ton Of Christian unity accord
ing to the mind Of Christ"
At the same time they
warned against over-optimism
regarding the reunion Of Chris
tian churches.
Noting the growth Of charity
toward each other of Catholics
and non-Catholics, the state
ment said "our people must be
warned against any. extrava-
CANT hope of Christian reunion
as q direct and immediate re-
suit Of the council.
Christians in this country,
Of several hundred denomina-
tions, should be particularly
conscious Of the wide, deep and
inveterate divisions, especially
in the field of Christian teach
ing, which separate the many
religious groups here and
throughout the world. There
can be no general reunion
while chasms of doctrinal divi-
sion exist"
Special Duty
But the prelates asserted
charity can help to prepare
the way for the eventual clos
ing of these chasms" and de-
clared all Catholics "have a
special duty to deepen the
spirit and to broaden and in
tensify its practice as a main
source Of Christian renewal and
as a preparation for the hoped
for ultimate reunion"
The message by the Catholic
bishops of the United States
on the Forthcoming council fol-
lowed similar statements by
the bishops of Holland, Poland,
Canada and Australia.
The conclave, to be attended
by more than 5000 world lead
ers Of the Catholic Church,
will be the 2lst ecumenical
(universaD council to be held
in the long history Of the
church. The first was in 325
at Nicaea, Turkey, and the last
in 1869-70 at Rome. The lat
ter is generally known as the
First Vatican Council.
Called by Pope John XIII
on January IS, 1859, the Sec
ond Vatican Council will be
primarily concerned with the
internal affairs Of the church
in our modern world.
The bishops pointed out that
Pope John stated the principal
reason for calling the council
was "a renewal Of the life Of
the church which will restore
to full splendor' the simple and
pure lines that the faith Of
Jesus had at its birth"

Declaring the general pros
poets for internal renewal
