Holy Week? Let us make the
cross, as a symbol of Easter,
as well known as the tree and
the star are symbols of Christ
mas.
The Cross belongs to all
Christians. And we must be
"Christ's living ambassadors
and spiritual interpreters" If
we all let Him come into our
hearts, this awful darkness of
war, our liquor and our juve-
nile delinquency problems will
disappear.
Many church groups are
making a project of cutting
crosses and distributing them
on Palm Sunday. Young peo-
pie show great interest in so
doing.
Church bulletins, religious
and secular papers and radio
stations have given this Cru
SADIE for a Cross in the window
during Holy Week fine public
ity.
l wish to mention just three
denominations across the
country to show what is being
done. In an Evangelical
United Brethren Church in
York, Pa, the young people
cut a very large number of
crosses and distributed many
of them throughout the city.
The young people of a Meth
odist Church in Kansas City,
Mo-, made a large number and
used them in their church. In
Phoenix, Ariz., a Christian
Church cut crosses which were
distributed on Palm Sunday.
A missionary in Bolivia
wrote, "In connection with
your Cross in the Window cam.
paign, we hope to have our
young people take it on as a
project and make small wood
en- crosses to be placed by
their doorways, as our houses
are mostly mud huts with but
one window"
Christ asked us to let our
light shine. So won't you at
this Easter-time join in this
crusade for "A Cross in the
Window during Holy Week"
and thus witness for Him who
did so much for us?

Two Major Bills Changed
By State Sen. Gilbert Guide

/ want to set the record straight on legis-
lation which 1 have sponsored to carry out
key proposals of the Republican platform on
which l was elected last November.
In recent weeks, several persons who
claim they speak for a number of organiza-
tons in Montgomery County have charged
that these bills are weak" and fail to carry
out the pledges l made during the campaign.
These persons, while apparently we'll.
meaning, are doing disservice to the people
of Montgomery County by their negative and
unfounded criticism. They obviously do not
understand the language of the bills or what
effect the measures will have in promoting
better government for our county
Let's take the bills one by one:
l. Senate Bill 418- to give the County
Council greatly increased authority over the
extension of all sewer lines At present the
Council has veto power only over major trunk
line extensions. My bill would expand this to
include every size line, laterals as well as
trunks, and would permit the Council to class
ify certain lines as nonaccess, thus preventing
further urban sprawl. 1t would clearly make
the County Council the final authority on all
sever line extensions. This is the essence Of
home rule, which the Republican Party has
strongly supported since the inception of the
charter movement in the 1905 1t is the same
movement which the Democratic Party made
every effort to defeat.
2 House Bill 490-This measure as orig
inally introduced in the House, would have
extended the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commissions jurisdiction to all of Montgom.
cry County. have amended 1t to make the
WSSC jurisdiction coincide in Montgomery
County with areas in which the Maryland.

sion has adopted sectional master plans. Any
health problems will be cared for through ex-
tensions of the Sanitary Commissions rural
water areas
In my opinion and in the opinion of the
vast majority of the people, there was neither
demand nor need for the wholesale extension
originally contemplated by the bill Moreover
such an extension would have subjected both
the Sanitary Commission and the County
Council to tremendous pressures for prema-
ture housing development. This in turn would
have increased the cost of public services and
placed an unduly heavy burden on the tax.
payers.
There is general agreement that plan.

ACC Backs
Axing Of
FILES Plan

The Montgomery County
School Board budget was a
major point of consideration by
the Allied Civic Group at it's
regular meeting held Monday
night in the Park and Planning
Commission auditorium.
John Palmer, chairman of
the ACC education committee,
reported on recommendations
made by that committee before
the Board, at its budget hear
ings earlier this year. The
committee proposed, in turn,
that ACC make similar recon-
mendations to the County
Council respecting the Boards
budget.
The group went along with
the committees recommended
ton that the FILES program
be discontinued; that summer
workshops be eliminated; that
evening high school and sum.
mer school programs be COM
pletely self-sustaining, and that
other areas such as research
and testing, out-of-county
travel, and expenses of the Of
flee of information and publ.
cations be curtailed.
The group voted to continue
the driver training courses in
the County ito the extent that
parents are willing to defray
the costs thereof"
In other action, the group
voted to urge that the proposed
White Oak Library be con-
structed as soon as possible and
that a site be acquired for
new Moves Library in Kensing-
ton. In taking action on the

Tax InsfdIlments

/ was much against a resolu-
ton proposed by the ACC. at
their special meeting held last
week in the recommendation of
the enactment of legislation
to permit the payment of real
property taxes on a quarterly
basis.
My objection was on the
grounds of COST: Increase adj
ministration cost. 1 also point
ed out to them that in the pur-
chase of a home the first trust
payments included payment
for the real estate taxes; which
is held in escrow; also that
banks were made available for
the purpose of holding for such
a payment. 1t appears to me
that If such a bill for quarter
ly payments of taxes should
pass that the cost involved
would only be added to tax
bills. These costs would include
the increase in administration;
extra set up on the machines
and papers, envelopes, and
stamps. If those who cannot
save enough to make a pay
ment once a year on their
taxes; then the increase in
such a procedure should be
borne by those who desire to
make quarterly payment. 1 see
no reason why every one
should have to assume the ad-
ditional cost.

More Letters
Hearing Rules

am writing in regard to the
recent announcement by the
County Council of the proceed
ure to be followed in the pro-
posed public hearing on the
county's Public Accommoda-
ton bill.
On the face of it, the idea
of giving each side 80 minutes,
with a ten minute speech linn
itation, sounds fair. But it
takes only a moments reflec-
ton to see how very unfair
and biased such a hearing
would be. This idea of cutting
one side down to compensate
for the weakness of the other
side utterly defeats the pur-
pose of public" hearing.
In the previous public hear
ing on this same subject, 107
speakers, many of them repre-
senting organizations, asked to
be heard. Of these nine were
against the measure; SO were
for. Presumably the "con" side
can again find nine speakers;
but on the PRO" side only one
person in ten can be heard!
Come now, County Council!
You can do better than that!
If YOU want to know how the
public feels on this proposal,
let the public speak. A ten-mln-
ute limitation is eminently rea-
sonable; but a limitation OF
who may speak is not. 1t
would be like a radio common
tator saying: Lets hear from
former Presidential candidates.
To be fair we will give each
an hour-one hour for Adlai
Stevenson and one hour for
Lars Daly!"
Also, just who would be cap
able of picking the one-out-ot-
ten to give the pro" side?
That decision alone would give
the pickee the power to brush
aside such organizations as
B'nai Birth, the Council OF
PTAs, various Democratic
Clubs, citizens associations and
church groups representing lit
orally thousands of people.
1t would be better to cancel
the hearing than to permit it
to be rugged in advance to
stifle rather than to hear the
voice of the public. l do not
believe that residents in Mont
gomery County are SO polite
ally unsophisticated and naive
as to not see thru this device.

Rights Law

1 am very much disturbed
that the Montgomery County
Council adopted the motion OF
Council Member John Hiser to
hold hearing in April on re-
zeal of the public accommoda-
tons ordinance which includes
the legal basis for the Human
Relations Commission.
1t seems to me that this is
both unnecessary and unwise.
1 cannot believe the newly
elected members of the Coun-
Gil have read the voluminous
testimony presented over two
evenings by individuals and or
CARNATIONS representing many
important segments OF the
community including civic
and religious groups.
I understand that the LOO
persons who attended the hear
ings made this hearing second
In side only to a school board
or a county budget hearing.
/ do not doubt that large
numbers of county residents
will again support the ordi-
nance, but it will be regretable
If that energy cannot be invest
ed in more productive work.
1 urge the Council members
to study the testimony. l
strongly urge, furthermore,
that the hearing either be can
celled or that it be converted
into a hearing for the elimina-
ton of the exemption of places
which sell alcoholic beverages
from the ordinance, a provi-
sion which has made the law
difficult to enforce.
1t would be a grave disserv-
ice to democracy and to the
foreign relations of this coun-
try for the Council to repeal
the equal service ordinance
and it would prevent the coun-
ty from dealing constructively
with legitimate grievances
based OIL the denial of the
rights of American citizens.
Let's progress to negotiations,
not retreat to the picket line!

SforeCunned Goods
Properly

If your canned fruits and veg
etables look pale and unappetiz-
ing, perhaps they haven't been
stored properly, suggests Katie
Thomas, Kent County extension
agent, home economics.
Both commercially and home
canned foods should be stored In
a cool, dry place; and food In
glass containers should be kept
in a fairly dark place as well.
High storage temper atures
tend to impair flavor and color
of some canned foods while
freezing may break the seal or
cause the cans to burst.
Fading and discoloration of
canned foods, especially In glass
Jars, is probably caused by too
much light, and the texture of the
food as we'll as the color can be
affected.
Often the shopper IS able to
save money by buying specials
and by buying in quantity but
only If adequate storage space
Is available. If canned food can't
be stored properly, much Of 1t
may be wasted, Mrs. Thomas
reminds.
