Old Cars and Spring
Welsh Rore Biz

We were overwhelmed with the subtle
fragrance of spring this past Sunday and
jumped into a relatively modern car and
drove it over the Bay Bridge to Chestertown
We went there to see how daughter Margaret

merry County friends that the Eastern "Sho"
Is still the same dreary combination of marsh
land and boOndocks that Is has been always;
and that its braldsh water stills retains the
smell Of fish, crab shells and oyster shells.
From Chestertown we motored to the
Sassafrass River which is about Is miles
north. We had nostalgia dinner in an old
hostel called the Granary which overlooks
the Sassafrass and frowns across its blue
waters at rival hostelry located on a hill
and known as the Kitty Knight. This hotel
was named in honor of Maryland maiden
who flirted with a British Admiral so sue
cessfuly that he lost his hostility towards
Maryland.
In the evening we turned westward and
my heart leaped up and my spark plugs be-
gan to spark again when we headed for Mum

Maryland maiden can flirt with man with

We drove the modern car to Rockville

that man can spend his time on yachts,
golf, hunting, restoring old cars, women or
collecting old coins.

John Q Isn't Duped
COP Views

John @. Homeowner is unhappy. He is
particularly unhappy with the economy
minded Republican County Council he elected
to keep his property taxes from going up.
John O. feels duped This Council is just
like all Others Campaign promises mean
nothing. This new Council has been in of.
flee four months, and already John Q. has
had notice that his property has been re-
assessed up and he is faced with another
increase in his property tax. Economy?
Humbug! Republicans? Bah!
Mr.. Homeowner Is half right He is 60
ing to pay more property tax. But not be-
cause the County Council so ordered The
Council, whether composed of Republicans
or Democrats, has no control over the as.
sessment of property. This is done by the
State Department of Assessment and Taxa
ton, pursuant to the laws of the State of
Maryland, providing for continuing method
of assessment" Johns last assessment
amounts to $50 to 500 of what the assessor
decides is the fair market value of his prop
erty. Under the laws of Maryland all prop.
erty is assessable up to 1000 of cash value.
Relief from spiraling assessments must come
from Annapolis.
The County Council does, however, con-
troll the tax rate on which his tax bill is
based Relief from spraling tax rates comes
from the Council The Republican members
of the Council are pledged TO this relief and
have been working hard to fulfill this cam.
paign pledge. Public budget hearings will
be on Tuesday and Wednesday, March &c
and q, at pm. in the County Office
Building Auditorium. John @. then will have
an opportunity to determine just how the
Council plans to spend his tax dollar and
where it plans to save it.

Under the unit SYSTEM each county in MARYLAND in
primary elections where the offices of United States sem

gets the unit vote rather than the majority vote making
possible for statewide candidate lose the majority vote
but win the election Thus small county like Calvert for

senator gets three unit votes in the primary while Ba-

From This Angle
Candidate For National Flower

In the world of the cold war where hydro.
gen bombs and far ranging missiles are poised
and ready for the destruction of civilization
some may believe that congressional discus.
sion about the selection of a national flower
is incongruous think not. Were we reduced
to thinking and talking about only the
cold war and attendant affairs we would
soon become nation of frightened neurotics
and belligerent warmongers. 1t is good that
our Congress has the intellectual and emotion
al balance necessary to discuss the selection
of our national flower at this time in history.
No doubt Congress has received many
nominations for our national flower. Three
of those proposed are the rose, the marigold,
and the corn tassel. No one can rightly deny
the beauty of any of these flowers nor the
variety of beauty available in the first two
mentioned One can raise objections on good
grounds.
The rose as it is usually grown today,
needs bit of pampering for Japanese BEETLES,
mildew, the lack of moisture, and other
enemies can quickly destroy its beauty. The
marigold is not a native wild flower of the
United States and is usually grown as a
cultivated flower. The corn tassel, although
technically flower, is not grown as SUCH
The national flower should grow in most
IL not all, of the states. 1t should be native
wild flower of beauty and distinction. 1t should
be flower that can withstand the driving
rain, the wind, the glare of the midday sun,
and the drought when it comes. 1t should be
a flower that is not hidden in the deep woods
or one that is found only in the solitary or
wet places. This flower should be seen by

our citizens as they travel along the highways
and byways of our country.
Our national flower should seed itself
but it should not reproduce so prolifically
that it quickly takes over the fields and
pastures to feed its own greedy appetite. The
sowing of seeds by the winds, by the flick OF
of a songbrd's wing, by the impact OF
thundershower's heavy raindrops, or by the
furry touch of some passing wild animal
should not produce a mass of plants that
crowd out all others. The seed sown should
produce few plants to propagate the species
and to please mankind with beauty.
Our national flower should not quickly
wilt and die after it is picked. 1t should be one
that our children can break from the plant,
drag home in the hot dusty summer day, and
plunge into a vase of cool water to produce
n beautiful bouquet.
We have such flower. This is no PAM
pered dandy of the lighthouses and carefully
cultivated flower beds. This plant is not easily
destroyed by winters concrete grip or the
soaring heat of the summer sun. This plant
is a sturdy pioneer which migrated in bales
OF hay to most of the United States from the
fiel6s and valleys of our heartland, the prairie
states and others with high mountains like
fields of Europe.
Let this sturdy lady of the open fields
and the smooth meadows who displays her
beauty in black and gold from June into Sept
ember be a candidate for our national flower.
Members of Congress, consider the state
flower of Maryland, the black-eyed susan.

bate touches their lives in a highly sensitive
area estate matters.
But perhaps they should be made aware
that for many years attempts have been
made to change the pattern of this court
To date, all have failed.
Republican attorneys felt that they could
better serve their clients faced with the ne
cessty of probating estates if there were
full time probate judge available to them.
Accordingly, a plank pledging action was
added to the Republican Party platform. 1t
reads, 1--WE believe that the Orphans Court
system is archaic and should be revised so
as to eliminate parttime judges. We pro-
pose the establishment of Probate Court
to be administered by the present Circuit
Court for Montgomery County and to be
presided over by one of the Circuit Court
Judges on a rotation basis"
This pledge was fulfilled when the
Montgomery County delegation to Annapolis
introduced legislation setting up a constitu.
tional amendment referendum to abolish the
present Orphans Court and bring all pro-
bate matters under the jurisdiction of the
Circuit Court. II passed the referendum
would appear on the ballot in 1864 No
change in the present system would take
place before 1866
The Maryland State Bar Association has
long been active to bring about such change.
The Montgomery County Bar Association
also favors Circuit Court Probate Judge
Speaking only for himself, Thomas A.
Anderson, chief judge of the circuit court,
says that he feels the present circuit court
could easily absorb the probate work now
handled in the Orphans Court
At present, the Orphans Court has three
judges elected to office for four-year terms.
None need be attorneys. The Court con.
venes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays Pay
ment is on per diem basis. This system
prevails throughout Maryland.
