luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria
this week.
In response to plea by Aubrey
Eban, Israels representative to
the United Nations, for funds that
are needed Immediately to enable
Israel to receive, care for and
house the thousands of immigrants
entering it's gates, the community
leaders pledged themselves to con-
tinue and intensity the metropoli-
tan U. J. A. drive.
The report on campaign prog
ress thus far showed that $780,
100000 has been raised by more
than 800 trade and community
campaign divisions; $3,650,0O0 by
the Women's Division; and ST.
100000 by fraternal and benev-
olent organizations affiliated with
the u. J. A. Council of Organiza-
tions.
In appealing for a continued
flow of U. J. A. funds to Israel,
Mr.. Eban cited the fact that
10000 newly-arrived immigrants
are still in reception centers,
awaiting housing and jobs.

himself only one set of ethics by
which he conducts his life, if uni
versal cooperation and wisdom
are to be attained.
Simon said man cannot exist as
he did under Hitler, believing in
two separate rules of ethical pro-
cedure, one for domestic family
relations and another for political
behavior. There is no special con-
science made for the statesman
alone, Simon continued.
Only One Morality
He quoted the French philoso-
pher. La Rochefoucauld: "Hypoc-
risy is the homage which vice pays
to virtue"
"There can be one morality,
exclusively, if man will govern
himself with decency and digni-
tv." said Simon. "a world order
must be founded wherein personal
and political ethics become one,
not solely in word but in action.
Thus will group conflicts be re-
duced and the Talmud's vision OF
all-encompassing peace from chaos
become an accomplishment.
"Man is good if he has chance
to be, but bad enough if he must.
Give man security and he will be
noble. truthful and thereby Free"
Some Send Messages
AS Simon stepped from the po-
dium, he was surrounded by a
group of listeners, principally jew
ish but including some OF all
faiths. Reverently they questioned
him about his infant state. Some
stood quietly, as close to him as
possible. with unembarrassed tears
of gladness and wonderment in
their eyes.
There were those who spoke to
him in Yiddish, a few in Hebrew

Historical Society Seeks
Members And Early Relics

The Montgomery County Branch
of the Maryland Historical Society
is seeking new members to join
in the interesting project of collect
ing relics of early days in the
county for it's museum to be opened
soon.
In a recent radio broadcast Jack
Bentley of Sandy Spring and Mrs.
Rudolph Bopp of Bethesda, MEM
bers of the society, told of the orr
gin of the Montgomery County
Branch and it's detectives. The local
branch was organized at the home
of Mrs. Lily C. Stone of Bethesda
in 1914.
"The Historical Society,"" said
Mr.. Bentley, "would like TO ac-
quaint newcomers to the County
with our traditions by showing
them our accomplishments and me-
mentoes of the past rather than
have them form an opinion of the
county from our political cam
paigns or from published police re-
cords"
The aims of this group are really
two-fold, combining desire to pre-
serve for posterity the items of his
torical interest pertaining to the
county and to build a museum
which would be a symbol of its
accomplishments
To this end the society is gather
ing material to set up a museum
which will be housed in a section of
the old tavern at Great Falls, until
its own quarters can be obtained.
The tavern is being restored by
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission under the di-
rection of Irving c. Root.
Mr.. Root is endeavoring to OBJ
tain all available records and items
of interest pertaining to the c & o
Canal which ran from Georgetown
to Cumberland for many years and
played an important part in trans
portation. These items include
stocks or bonds issued by the Canal
company, bills of lading, old tools,
harness or bells used on the mules
which pulled the barges. The His
torical Society has some articles
which it will lend to the canal col
lection.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1949-11-10

Mr.. Root expects to have the
'sRace assigned to the Montgomery
Historians available by June 1850
Articles will be withdrawn wher
the Society has it's own museum
These articles will have a plate
on them denoting the donor. Mr.
Bentley pointed out that donors
would go down-in history and theil
family name prepetuated by the
gifts.
Here are some of the things Mr.
Bentley says they would like tc
have listed and ready to put ir
place when the museum opens-old
china, pewterware, spinning
wheel, guns, iron pots and old cook
ing utensils. Old furniture anC
tools will also be acceptable. AL
ready lovely old rosewood piano
once the property of Miss Mar
garet Beall and said to have beer
played when Lafayette visited
Rockville in 1924, is being restored
and will have a prominent place
in the museum. The Interior De.
partment, under which the Park
and Planning Commission works
restores these pieces, Mr.. Bentley
said.
Paintings of old homes, portraits
OF people prominent in County af-
fairs, lanterns, brass and copper
ware also are sought. 1t is hoped
farmers will contribute old nipple
ments and horse-drawn vehicles.
Mrs. Randolph Talbot of Rock
vile is the present curator of the
Montgomery County Historical
Society. Mr.. Bentley, chairman of
the museum committee and Rich
ard II. Lansdalc a member of his
committee, can be reached at Sandy
Spring. Capt. William Parkins,
president of the society, lives at
Poolesville and Mrs, Hugh Brinton,
secretary, at Derwood. Any of
them would be pleased to talk with
those who have articles they can
contribute, or would like to become
a member of the society.

inquired who is to pay for the
roads to meet the needs demanded
by this growth?
even if the money were avail
able" Mr.. Childs said, GLOW could
Maryland justify an expenditure
of 100000 in an area represent
ing less than one percent of the
total land area of the State, pos
sessing only 1920 of the States
highways system, and carrying
only 14fo of the total vehicle miles
of travel on the State highway
system particularly when over 400
of the travel in that area is done
by out-of-state cars?"
Federal Aid Urban funds are
apportioned on the basis of the
population within an urban area,
Mr.. Childs pointed out, but these
funds may be spent outside the
corporate limits of any city or
municipality SO long as the Bureau
of Public Roads and the State
Highway Department receiving the
funds agree on the boundaries of
the spending area. Mr.. Child add
ed.
Under the circumstances there
seems to be justification for the
apportionment of regular federal
aid funds to an urban area outside
of Washington and the use of those
funds within the Maryland and
Virginia metropolitan sections of
Washington"
The population of the area, Mr..
Childs said, has grown from about
$4,000 in 1910 to $4,000 in 1949.
He quoted Washington Real Estate
Board figures showing that since
1910 permits have been issued for
the erection of 36,717 family units
at an estimated cost of $216,362,-
645.
Pointing out that an origin-and-
destination survey is now under
way in the Washington metropoli-
tan area, Mr.. Childs said it was
his opinion that the Federal gov
ernment, after analysis of the re-
suits of that survey, should select
system Of radial and circumfer-
entail facilities and construct it as
Federal system from Washing
ton to the limits of local traffic in
fluence where these roads would be
continued as State-owned and
State-maintained routes.

Addition To Curriculum Of
Richard Montgomery High

Diversified Occupations" is
the latest addition to the curricu-
lum of Richard Montgomery High
School. This course is offered to
seniors only, for the express pur-
pose of placing students and help
ing them adjust to jobs they will
be best fitted to hold when they
graduate from school.
Diversified Occupations" was
originated in Boston, Mass, as ear
ly as 1920 but was not introduced
into Montgomery County until
1910 when it was offered as a
course at Montgomery Blair High
School in Silver Spring. The
course has proved successful in
guiding students to select jobs
which satisfy their interests and
abilities.
The plan followed in Richard
Montgomery is to first find stu
dents in the school who have part
time jobs or who need practical
job experience, according to the
judgment of the student himself
and his teachers. Secondly, the
teacher of the course collects data
pertaining to the students top
ability-feld and top interest-feld
The third step is to form a COM
mittee of employers who will as
sist in the provision of jobs for
students on a part-time basis.
The last two steps involve placing
the student in the job and assisting
him in adjusting to the position.
The student will be divided into
two periods. The first will be an
adjustment period to work out the
solution of problems in arithmetic,
science, English and human re-
lations encountered on the job.
The second period will be devoted
to the discussion of problems de-
tected by the employer, by the stu
dent, and by the teacher of the
course on his regular visits with
the employers.
If it is found that a student
doesn't fit in his job, he is changed
to more suitable position.
Through the plan outlined, the
student spends a minimum of
twenty hours per week on his job
and receives a salary based on the
standard wage plan for part-time
work.
1t has been pointed out that this
course is for seniors only; how
ever, under careful consideration,
juniors and sophomores may take
supervision in the course on their
own time in preparation for the
senior course.
Diversified Occupations" was
recommended for Richard Mont
gomery last spring by the school
survey committee but was not APP
proved by the State Board of Edu-
cation until October IS of this year.
Instructor in the course at
Richard Montgomery is Day Null
link, who taught diversified oc-
equations when it was introduced

to Montgomery County nine years
ago. Mr.. Mullinix has had more
than five years of experience in
blu siness, including personnel
training of employees, radio, and
advertising as related to the pub
lie relations of large New York
firm.
At this time there are eleven
students enrolled in the class, but
Mr.. Mullinix anticipates a grad
uation class of fifteen to twenty.
These students will be graded by
Mr.. Mullinix and their employers
and will receive a general diploma
upon completion of their senior
year.

been-and still is-Outgrow-
ing it's highways faster than
the State can afford to replace
them.
He indicated, moreover,
that Maryland believes the
federal government has some
responsibility in providing ad-
ditional funds to meet the cost
of supplying highway needs of
the area.
Under the accelerated road
building program in which Mary
land is now engaged, he said, high
way improvements in the Wash
ington suburban section have been
averaging $1,780,000 annually for
Ne past three years. He pointed
It that even if the $48,O00,O00
road rehabilitation program in the
area was to be spread over a ten
year period, it still would require
$4,800,000 a year to get the job
done. The different, he said, be-
tween what should be spent in this
section and what can reasonably by
allotted to it from Maryland's nor
NAL highways fund represents a
problem of increasing seriousness.
Assuming that the funds avail
able annually would be $1,000,000
in the area, he said, the deficit of
$3,800,000 per year would have to
be provided from other sources.
He reminded his audience that in
WashiEgton's mushroom growth
the cost of new homes, apartments,
water connections, sewer connec-
lions and other improvements have
been borne either by the developers
or individual property owners, and

Word Oddly

Some words have rather strange
derivations. The word ".muscle,"
for instance, comes from a Latin
word meaning, Of all things, mouse.

flexed looked like nothing but a
little mouse (Musculus).
