costs Of the enterprise, as of the clos
ing Of the books for the 1944-45 fiscal
year, June 30, 1915, were $1,665, 142,-
42370. Considering that the end prod
uct, which reached practical applica-
tion of all this fantastic undertaking
totaled two bombs dropped on Japan,
the price seems high. The cost of
prosecuting the war, however, was
roughly computed at $1,OO0,OOO,0OO
per week. If it may be assumed
few will argue-that those two bombs
shortened the war by two weeks or
none, the taxpayer got a bargain.
Nor does that consider the sweat,
blood, toll, and tears which no &C

The Fire Department banquet
was originally planned for Dec.

much more exciting plans for the

The second fire in q month in

After the fire, "Chief 'Hunker' Will

says Bill.
The fire in the Clark home near
Jamestown, which was reported
last week as having done slight
damage, actually destroyed the
house. The damage was partly due
to the fact that it was difficult to

of crowded circuits and party lines.
However, the Rockville and Cal

DIR. WarfieId Defends
Polish Freedom

|. In letter recently published in
the New York Times, Rev. Gather
P. Warfield, a native of Rockville,
now Methodist minister with a
charge in Frederick, takes empha-
tic exception to statements attri-
buted to Wincently Rzymowsli,
minister of foreign affairs in the
Warsaw government, that because
of domination by the Catholic
Church, there was no freedom of
religion and no free education in
prewar Poland.
Rev. Warfield stated he had
lived and worked insPoland from
1924 until 1871. He recalled that
"The Times" published an inter
view with the Polish minister on
Octover rs which stated: "In 1889,
he recalled there was no freedom
of religion for example, because all
other faiths were Stamped out by
the ruling Catholic Church."
According to the Rev. Mr.. War
field, Poland was only rs per cent
Roman Catholic. Other Christian
denominations and other faiths
were not only guaranteed by the
Polish Constitution of 1921 and
1885, freedom of conscience and
practice, but actually enjoyed it.
Replying to the minister's state
ment that there was no free educa-
ton in pre-war Poland, Mr.. War
field asserted that he had taught
for a time in a Polish school and
that during her 20 years of inde-
pendence the nation had establish
ed 28,722 free elementary schools;
722 public high schols

Traffic Safety
Boards Ask
Careful Driving

Pc ice. And Organizations
To Join In Drive To Elimi-
nate Death And Injury On
Streets
Death and injury on the streets
and highways Of Montgomery
County will bring sorrow and suf-
fering to many homes this first
peacetime holiday season since
1910, unless the present trend in
traffic accidents is reversed, ac-
cording to F. w. Williams, vice
chairman of the Education Com
mittee of the Montgomery County
Safety Board.
Eighteen persons have been
killed in traffic accidents this
year as of Nov. LIST. This is 8
more than were killed in simil-
ar period last year.
A partial reason for this in
crease is the greater volume of
traffic brought on after VI Day
with the lifting of driving restrict
ions. Other causes are old worn
out cars, rusty drivers, smooth
tires and darkness at the evening
rush hour, since reverting to pre-
war time.
If drivers and pedestrians will
adjust their actions to these I'M
usual conditions many accidents
can be avoided. During the holi-
day season there are many other
conditions which cause accidents.
These include shoppers hurrying
with arms laden with packages,
parties of the season, children out
of school, icy streets and the gen.
eral holiday spirit.
To avoid accidents:
Pedestrians should "Watch While
They Walk.
Motorists keep windshields clean.
Have a good time at Christmas
parties but don't drive. Walking
will do you good anyway.
Shop early and avoid the nervous,
mad scramble just before Christ
mas.
Be alert for our usual Christmas
week ice storm.
Don't spoil anyone's Christmas by
being the cause Of an accident.
Be a good sport and a good driver
by observing stop signs, signals
and the speed limit.
Spread holiday cheer by being
a careful and courteous driver.
The Montgomery County Police
have announced firm enforce
ment policy making it unwise for
motorists to drive when drinking
or to violate the traffic laws. Yet
they realize this is our first really
happy Christmas in many years
and want all the people to enjoy
it but to stay alive to enjoy
another holiday season.

COOP TRAINING
TO Be RESUMED

New Hanover High school will
again conduct cooperative train
ing program in the fields of bust
ness education and trade and in
dustry during the coming school
year, school officials announced
yesterday.
An integral part of the High
school schedule, this program is
designed to coordinate activities on
the 10 with instruction given in
school. A survey and search for
jobs that offer progressive train
ing opportunities to students will
be begun Immediately in order that
High school students may be- ef-
ficiently trained employees for
bushes, trade and industry upon
their graduation.
Cooperative training bridges the
gap between instruction and en-
pioyment, since the youths trained
in this type of program have had
specific experience and are i'm
mediately employable upon termi-
nation of their training program.
High school officials expressed
the wish that local business and
industrial firms may become their
training laboratories where stud
ents may receive actual motivating
and training experiences to supple
ment the more or less general class
room instruction.
Under the organization and su-
pervision of a teacher-coordinator,
selected students are placed with
usiness firms to do part ii m e
work or minimum of IS hours
week. The Observation-Disclosures in
vestigates requests for job assist
ance and approves the job only if
it indicates that the students will
benefit educationally and vocation
ally from the work experience.
Students participating in the pro-
gram attend school in the morning
and work in the afternoons, and
all day on Saturday, if necessary.
The students learn to express
themselves, how to think, and the
necessary skills and information

WEAPONS CONTEST

VATICAN CITY, Aug. 18 - Up -
L'Osservatore Romano predicted
today a 'feverish race for secret
weapons" in the postwar world
and reuked scientists who work
on them.
The Vatican ity newspaper said
in an editorial that an armament
race was an inevitale conse-
quence of the last atrocious esi-
sodes of the war"
Discussing postwar prospects,
the newspaper also objected to
the transfer of persons from one
country to another to climate IA
tional ninorities.
The newspaper said that while
Pope Plus XII spoke of the rights
of minorities and the need for pro-
tecting them, the Potsdam con-
ference sanctions the principle of
transfer, that is to say, the elimi-
nation of minorities
TT is against natural right to
remove millions upon millions of
persons from their h m S,

time in modern history, men of
science have directly associated
themselves with work on weap-
