The poohed-out pup, Fella, then
turned YEARLY around and went
back to its dreams.
That's the LATEST dog ever made"
some one said.
Fella, a 3-month-o white cocker
spaniel, apparently figured he
hadn't a chance anyway because
he wore No. 13. He was entered by
Gilbert Cebula, 10, son of M/Sergt.
and Mrs. Martin Cebula, who live
on the base.
A hamster, or ratlike rodent led
the parade of pets which ran all
over the lawn at Boiling. In addi-
ton to the score of dogs. there also
were mouse, two turtles, squir-
rel, two cats, one goldfish and a
few butterflies on display in the
childrens show. Several mosquitoes
also entered unofficially.
Barks Protest Award.
There were nine dog fights. One
was between two pups over which
really won a prize. The runner-up
expressed his annoyance with the
judges decision by barking, but 1t
did no good.

West Bars Lending
OF Records al Office
In Municipal Court

The Corporation Counsel'S Office
in Municipal Court today had orders
to enforce rigidly long-standing
rule forbidding the removal of any
records from the courts offices.
The order came from Corporation
Counsel Vernon E. West, who ad-
dressed It to his chief court assist
ant, Clark F. King, other assistant
counsel and policemen detailed to
the Office.
Mr.. King said the rule applies to
every one"
1t was recalled that on August 8,
two days before Municipal Judge
Ellen K. Raedy accused the corpo-
ration counsel staff of favoring its
friends in drunken-driving cases,
the judge requested and was given
original records of two such cases.
Records Not Returned.
judge Raedy charged that drunk
en-driving cases had been nolle-
pressed and, as a result, Mr. West
sent a letter to her demanding that
she prove her accusation. Mr.. King
denied the charge.
Assistant Counsel Philip Brophy,
who gave Judge Raedy the records,
was the object of the judges blast
against his Office during bench
conference last Thursday.
Mr.. King and Mr.. Brophy today
reported the two records have not
yet been returned by the judge nor
has she notified them further re-
garding the records.
Judge Raedy has repeatedly re-
fused to comment on any aspect
of the controversy. Today her office
reported that she could not be
reached because she was about to
take the bench.
Bethesda Man Involved.
One of the files involved in the
Raedy request is that of Thomas
L. Dabney, 81, of 6 Woodhaven
boulevard, Bethesda, against whom
a drunken driving charge was
dropped by Mr.. Brophy on August
3. The prosecutor said he could
not recall the details of the other
case. Judge Raedy apparently still
has both records.
Asked what he intended to do
about getting the files back, MI.
King said the judge can have them
as long as she wants within reason y
Mr.. King explained that the order
to keep all records in the Office is
one of many years standing" He
said that his staff. however, has
always let judges look at records on
request "as a matter of courtesy"
The renewed edict provides that
where records are requested in the
future by interested parties, copies
of originals may be made and taken
from the Office. The originals are
to remain in the files at all times.
This is no effort at secrecy, but
lust an assurance that we will have
ready access tC our own files when
ever the occasion arises Mr.. King
asserted
Judge Raedy today is back on gen.
eral assignment in civil division of
the court. Yesterday the judge was
on her customary assignment in
criminal jury branch. She is to
resume these duties tomorrow.

Survey to Be Made
Of All Routes; Use Of
Public Transit Seen

The expected enrolment increase
in Montgomery County schools dur
ing the next school year may force
many pupils formerly transported
in school buses to use public trans
portation.
This was brought out at the
Board of Education's meeting yes
terday in Rockville.
William B. Marks, director of
school transportation, said $3.50
pupils used rs school buses last
year. OF this number 2,613 we're
high school students and 300 were
enrolled in parochial schools.
He said more pupils are expected
to be transported in school buses
next year, since many new homes
are being built where schools are
not readily accessible.
1t was proposed that those living
near public transportation facilities
be- prohibited from using school
buses in order to tighten the load.
No action was taken on this sug-
gestion. however.
Mr.. Marks was directed to make
a survey of all school bus routes
with a view to changing them to
take in new subdivisions. He also
was directed to determine how many
children now using school buses
might use public transportation
instead.
To Re-advertise Forest Glen.
Richard E. Carpenter, assistant
superintendent of schools, reported
that most of the new schools under
construction may be ready for use
next month. He was authorized to
redraft plans for the Forest Glen
School and to re-advertise for bids
as soon as possible.
A delegation representing the
Parents League for Curriculum I'm
provement in Montgomery County
presented a letter requesting an
answer to the organizations reso-
luton last month proposing changes
in the courses of studies. The league
comprises county residents who
want more emphasis on what they
term the "basic fundamentals of
learning" such as the three RS"
The board said the matter would
be considered along with recon-
mendations of the current teacher
workshop on curriculum revision.
| Charles Remaley, vice principal
of Sherwood High School, was
named principal to succeed Sidney
LaWler, who resigned to become
agricultural instructor there.
The board also appointed Olney
S. Weaver as principal of Rockville
Elementary School to succeed Mrs.
Ruth Cue, who has been named
supervisor of elementary schools,
and Miss Evelyn Stine as music
supervisor to succeed Mrs. Jessie
McCardell, resigned.
New Teachers Appointed.
In addition, the board appointed

VD Education Aimed at Adults
AS First Step to Inform Youth

Sex education IN ScnOOlS mas peen
tried in other places. 1t has been
indorsed enthusiastically by many
younger parents, and as vigorously
opposed by others. In California,
perhaps the most progressive State
along these lines, a major battle
is being waged today against strong
opposition, to keep the courses IN
the public schools.
Here in Washington, there has
been no such experiment tried,
School officials say that, whatever
their personal opinions on the sub
ject may be. hey fear the storm OF
protest tina. would surely arise from
certain groups at the proposal to
introduce sex or veneral disease
education into schools here.
Few Cases in School.
Furthermore, these school officials
point out, there are few cases of
venerai disease reported from chill
dren actually attending. Washing
ton high schools. They do not ques-
ton the statistics of the Health
Department. They say simply that
those youngsters who get syphilis
and gonorrhea must be those who
have not finished their high school
eduction.
The course Of the present cam
paign of the Health Department to
wipe out gonorrhea in the District
has been directed to a large extent
by the widespread feeling that the
proper place for youngster to learn
about veneral disease Is from his
parents.
But the Health Department has
found that the level Of adult public
intelligence on the subject Of vene-
real disease is incredibly low.
Tabulating the early response to
their campaign Of adult education,
however, Health Department officials
believe that, before the year is over.
a great many more parents will be
equipped and willing to tell their
children what venereal disease Is
all about.
Tomorrow: Health Department
officials ansUer their critics.
