THE RURAL FRINGE
U.S.. Depicts County Squire

Generally speaking. he feels
that the country-his rural Sc
clusion, that isis going TO
the bleeding bow vows. He
is convinced that the expan-
sion of the Washington sub
urbs has had an unfavorable
effect on his community. And
he thinks things will probably
go from bad to worse in the
next two or three years.
He takes some solace in the
expectation that schools and
other community services will
improve. But why shouldn't
they, for PHYS sake! Look at
those taxes!
Actually. opinion is divided
on taxes, once the researchers
got past the almost-universal
sentiment that taxes are too
rudy high. Many complained
that taxes are making farming
improbable. A smaller number
felt they we're too high for the
services rendered. Others felt
their property was overvalued,
or that they were paying more
than their fair share.
And a goodly number Of those

day.

interviewed looked their ques-
TONERS sternly in the eye and
said they thought there was
too much unnecessary Govern
ment spending going on. You
can imagine how that affected
the survey legmen, many of
whom were University Of Mary
land students getting a dollar
an hour.
The survey covered most Of
Prince Georges County as well
as the Montgomery fringe"
mixed farm residentiaD area.
The P. G. farmers were less
landed, less wealthy and gen.
orally less opinionated. They
did, however. agree with the
Montgomery County gentry on
taxes and the overall unhappy
effects of suburban sprawl,
though not in such overwhelm-
ing percentages.
Agriculture's survey was
based on 366 families in outer
Montgomery and 1854 In outer
Prince Georges. Although a
spokesman conceded that they
might have come up with the
same cantankerous answers
just by asking the first haySeed
they saw leaning on a rail
fence, the department wanted
to do it scientifically.
There was a limit to the re-
searchers' diligence, though. A
map included in the report
shows the rural = suburban
fringe" areas covered by the
study. The tobacco-farm boom
docks in southeastern Prince
Georges County, along the Pa
tuxent River, was excluded
from the survey.

I'd OceIot's
Death Leads
ToAutopsy

The second of a pair of Ar
lington ocelots which were mon
grata" to neighbors and the
Belgian Embassy alike died Of
mysterious causes yesterday in
the Animal Welfare League
pound.
Mrs. Paul NJ. THYME, league
president. said an autopsy
would be performed to de-
termine the cause of Sabu's
death.
Sabu'S mate, Elizabeth, died
of pneumonia Monday at the
pound after being bathed by
her owner, Mrs. Raymonde
Battisse. the league official said.
The second ocelot was taken
to a veterinarian yesterday
after showing signs of "droopi-
ness" The animal, which later
refused to eat its dinner, had
a temperature.
"Ocelots are wild animals
which love freedom, Mrs. Thyme
said. "A congested area is no
place for them and it is not
right to keep them confined"
Sabu's death came a day
after his owner lost an Airing
ton County Court battle to
keep him., The cats continued
confinement at the pound was
ordered pending an appeal by
the BattiSses, who were fined
$50 plus cost for taking the
animal back into the county.
The Battisses became en-
broiled in the legal controversy
to save the ocelots because OF
neighbors' complaints.
Mrs. Battisse claimed the
ocelots had diplomatic i'm
munity because Of her employ
ment by the Belgian Embassy.
However, the Embassy denied
this.

II MILESTONE
IN BANKING

The Federal Reserve Act, passed by
Congress in 1913, gave the United States a
central banking system which has since
become the Federal Reserve System.
The major function of the Federal Reserve
System is to exert an influence towards the
proper adjustment of the money and credit
supply to the business of the country
The system is composed of a Board of
Governors, who determine the credit policy
as well as supervise and coordinate authority
IL regional Federal Reserve banks, and over
5000 member commercial banks, including
national and state banks who voluntarily
choose to belong to the system.
Therefore, although dominated in opera
tons by the public interest, the central bank
ing system is a combination public private
institution.
One aspect of notable significance with
respect to the Federal Reserve System is its
regional characteristic. Unlike the central
banks in European countries which are highly
centralized institutions, the Federal Reserve
System is composed of both regional and
central units, with appropriate RESPONSE
bilities and checks and balances inherent in
each.
It is from this regional characteristic that
our central banking system draws its greatest
strength Each of the Federal Reserve banks
and branches has board of directors COM
posed of regional leaders active in the public
sphere industry, education, trade and finance,
agriculture, and the professions.
The commercial banks which are members
of the Reserve System, whether national or
State-chartered institutions, must keep re-
serves at the Federal Reserve Bank in the
form of deposit of collected funds. These
reserves serve as means of effecting credit
controls, paying for checks cleared, for pur-
chasing securities or as fundamental pro-
lection for the commercial bank depositors
Frequently one commercial bank lends
to another for short periods of time, and such
transactions move in and out of the reserve
accounts. Whatever the reason for shift Of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-10-06

funds from the reserve account of one bank to
that Of another, the wire transfer facilities of
the Federal Reserve are brought into use to
transfer the funds.
AS another service, the Reserve Bank
makes loans or advances funds to its member
banks on approved collateral. Just as the
businessman borrows from his commercial
bank, so the commercial bank bOrrows as
needed from the Federal Reserve.
The principal responsibility of central
bank is the development and administration
of monetary policy. In the Reserve System
developed in the United States a portion of
the responsibility for the formulation and
augmentation of monetary policy rests with
the regional Reserve Banks One of the most
important connections between the manage
mentS of the regional Reserve Banks and the
monetary policy actions of the system is
through the Federal Open Market Committee
This committee is composed of the seven
members of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and five of the presi-
dents of the regional reserve banks -four of
whom serve on a rotating basiS) The Federal
Open Market Committee authorizes purchases
or sales of government securities to increase
or decrease the available reserves of the
member banks and thus influence the total
credit supply of the nation. The activity of
this highly important committee is reflected
in brief sketch of its frequent meetings
These meetings, held in Washington at
the Board of Governors building are opened
with the seven governors and IL presidents
sitting around long, oval table, receiving
review of the latest economic and financial
information. This review in many ways merely
summarizes the continuous studies that are
maintained at the Board of Governors and
each reserve bank. Not only are the domestic
economic and financial conditions thoroughly
reviewed, but for the past few years the flow
of funds between this nation and other nations
and all developments relating to our inter
national balance of payments and financial
position are considered Each member of the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-10-06

committee must determine for himself the
implications of the current economic and
financial situation to monetary policy require
mentS.
Each is expected to state his position and
vote for the policy which, in his judgment, will
provide the best financial environment for
the growth and development of the economy
within framework of stable prices, and yet
maintain the integrity of the currency and
protect the position of the United States in its
financial dealings with other nations.
The broad monetary policy decisions of
the Federal Reserve are an important de-
terminant of the cost and availability of credit
and through this influence to the prices of
goods we buy and sell, employment, produc-
ton, and incomes. Monetary policy appropriate
to strongly rising economy will tend to
restrain inflationary forces which reduce
the value Of our money On the other hand in
periods of declining economic activity Federal
Reserve policy is likely to be stimulative
one.
The powerful effects of monetary policy
are the nations front line of defense against
rising prices, destablizing economic and
financial developments, and to some degree
the temporary shortrun capital movements
abroad which aggravate the nations inter
national balance of payments
Despite the wide range of problems and
factors affecting monetary policy and the
responsibilities of the Reserve Bank manage
mentS to contribute to the determination of
monetary policy problems, each Reserve Bank
is oriented to its own region The Reserve
Banks provide economic information about
hn1 l. -
ship in guiding and implementing the flow
of credit which facilitate the economic ex-
pansion of the regional area
1t is significant that behind the COM
mercial banks is central banking system
unique to this nation which gives strength,
nexibility, and support to our monetary and
