be argued on this subject in this hall today.
Somebody told me a story a few weeks ago of
the pig standing in a barnyard beside a chicken, who
looked up and said to the pig, "My, isn't that wonderful. Look
at the sign on that truck, 'Ham and eggs, America's favorite
breakfast.' The pig looked at the chicken and said,
wonderful for you, for you it is a contribution, for me
it is total commitment."
I don't want to ask Kent County in 1970
to celebrate its 530th birthday in a state of total
commitment.
This is a county. This is a situation in which
the larger geographical subdivisions can afford
the contribution, but like the poor pig, the other geographic
areas of Maryland can ill-afford total commitment. I urge
the adoption of the amendment.
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Mr.Chairman and ladies
and gentlemen of the committee, it is difficult for me
to oppose a plan which has within it the possibility that
the majority of the committee recommended and that is
