chen and all-purpose room school
in the Hunting Hill area so as to
relieve the Rockville school by over
225 children and the Potomac
school by at least 60. At the same
time, such school will pro ide
some future relief for the Gathers
burg Elementary School.
2. Building a IL classroom, Ii
brary, kite h e n and all-purpose
room addition to the Twinbrook
Elementary School, now under con-
struction, thereby providing IA
more teaching stations:
8. Purchasing a site at the rear
of the new Twinbrook subdivision
north of the Viers Mill Road and
constructing an eight classroom,
office, and health room school so as
to provide nine teaching stations;
A. Purchasing a site, possibly on
Avery Road, between the old Croy-
den Park area and the develop
ment contemplated on the old
Christ Child Farm and construct
ing an eight classroom, office and
health room unit;
5. Purchasing a small amount of
additional ground and constructing
four additional classrooms at the
Lone Oak School;
6. Constructing a four classroom
addition to. or a separate four
classroom unit at the Potomac Ele-
mentary School; and,
7. Constructing a twelve class
room, library, kitchen and all-pur-
pose room addition to the Avery
Road School referred to above.
Overlapping Boundaries
In the Jamestown, Gaithersburg,
Germantown, Laytonsville and
Washington Grove areas, til e
B "a rd grouped five elementary
schools together because there is
still some overlapping of bound
aries between the smaller schools
at Jamestown, Germantown, Lay
louisville, and Washington Grove
with the large elementary school
at Gaithersburg. Fewer children
will attend a school outside the
area in which they live as the facil-
tiles of their local schools are i'm
proved, the Board pointed out.
Thus, it is believed, the Board
stated, that the need for additional
elementary C h o | teaching sta
tons in this large area would best
be provided by:
1. Constructing a six classroom,
office, library, health room and
kitchen school on the site of the
Jamestown School so as to replace
the two inadequate classrooms in

Stromberg Addresses
Journalism Students
At Maryland University

P. G. Stromberg, publisher of
The Sentinel and several o h r
weeklies in Maryland, addressed
the Journalism Glass of the Uni
versity of Maryland on Monday.
Mr.. Stromberg, whose "outstand-
ing services" to the Maryland
State Press Association for the
past thirty years were commemor-
ated recently by certificate of ap-
probation from the weekly news
papers in the state, discussed the
weekly newspaper field as an inte-
grail part of an embryonic Journal
lists training.
He laid particular emphasis on
the fine art of selling what you've
got instead of spending too much
time trying to undersell the other

school seriously interferes with the
Schools program. Current needs of
the school, however, can be solved
by an addition to the Industrial
Arts building and by the construc-
ton of combination gym and
auditorium on the site of the new
school.
POOlesville Facilities
The Board said that the facil-
tiles at the Poolesville High School
are quite inadequate and should be
replaced in their entirety as soon
as practicable. The unit now under
construction there will provide
eight teaching stations with eight
more needed. The Board said the
next unit to be constructed should
include offices, library, a science
laboratory, two h m e economics
areas, two shop areas, a gym a
music or art room and some aux
lllary spaces.
In the matter of negro schools,
the Board said at least % addi-
tional Negro teaching stations will
be needed in the .sitire County by
the fall of 1857 exclusive of those
available when the current pro-
gram is completed.
Taylor Elementary at Boyd S
now under construction, should be
completed this spring and with a
downward trend in enrolment, il
is believed adequate.
The Sandy Spring Negro Ele-
mentary, under construction, will
be ready for use by next fall, but il
is believed that two additional sta
tons will be needed there. Long
view Elementary is believed tohave
adequate facilities for the next
five years, although the matter
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1952-03-13

cannot be determined until it is
learned how many children will be
transferred from Clarksburg Schoo
when it is closed.
Rockville Negro Elementary also
is expected to care for it's enroll
ment for two years although some
difficulty may arise as a result of
a possible transfer of pupils from
River Road School. 1t is believed
two additional classrooms will be
needed by the fall of 1856.
Some ID additional teaching sta
tions will be needed at Lincoln
Junior High by the fall of 1857.
Additional facilities should be built
in two stages, the Board said. The
first might consist of two home
economics areas; two sci enc e
rooms; library and five regular
classrooms; with a second unit to
consist of art room, music room
and two regular classrooms.
Student Load
Carver Senior High School will
probably be the most complete
school building in the County when
the shops and gymnasium addition,
now under construction, is COM
pleted. The school should be able to
care for its enrolment during the
next five years without difficulty,
the Board stated.

that school and provide future re-
lief for Gaithersburg Elementary.
2. Constructing at least two, but
preferably four, more classrooms
at the Germantown Elementary
School so that school could house
its potential enrolment, including
kindergarten.
3. Constructing a two classroom
addition to the Laytonsville Ele-
mentary School.
BurtOnsville to Aid
In connection with the Burtons-
vile, Colesville, Falkland and Sher-
wood Elementary Schools, the
Board grouped these and said the
new Burtonsville school will have
considerable effect upon the future
enrolment of the Falkland and
Sherwood Elementary schools and
an enlarged Colesville school might
well be thought of to provide some
additional relief for Sherwood Ele-
mentary. The problem of determin-
ing how to best meet the need for
additional teaching stations in this
large area of the county is one that
should have careful review after
the new Burtonsville school is oc
cupied, the Board asserted.
Falkland Obsolete
1t is generally agreed, the Board
said, that Sherwood Elementary is
as large as it should be but that it
should be agreed also to abandon
the old frame structure at Falkland
at the earliest practicable date. The
program offered will need revision
If the large-scale cooperative hous-
ing project on the Briggs CLANCY
Road gets underway in the early
future, it was stated.
Recommendations Jude: 1.
Constructing an eight classroom
addition to Colesville Elementary
together with a new heating plant
for the whole school.
z. Purchasing site in the Nor
beck-Olney area, perhaps in the
vicinity of the Sycamore Acres de-
velopment, and constructing an
eight room elementary school;
3. Purchasing additional land at
the Falkland School, converting the
existing auditorium into two class
rooms and constructing an addi-
ton containing two classrooms, a
library and all purpose room, utili-
zing the existing kitchen facilities
if possible.
The Board said the need for ele-
mentary school facilities at Dicker-
son and Poolesville during the next
five years will be adequately cared
for when the addition now under

Presbyterias Clash
Over Issue Of
Segregation
During Atlantic
Synod Meeting

IRMO, S. c., Nov. 17.-Negro
leaders Of a synod of the Presby
tterian Church in the U. S. A. last
week took an unusual position when
they endorsed segregation despite
a request from Negro Presbyter-
ians for its end.
The Atlantic synod, meeting for
it's annual meeting at HARRISON
Junior college here, went on rec
ord in favor of the continuance of
segregation rather than be accept
ed in the same manner as the
other 80 synods of the Presbyter-
ian church.
Action taken by tn synod was
in opposition to that requested by
members of the church. In 1850,
two Negro Presbyterians within
the bounds of the Catawba synod
submitted request to the General
Assembly Of the church asking and
urging the discontinuance of seq
regation within the church. The
request affected the four Negro
synods.

In the recent campaign for the presidency of the
United States Mr. Truman did not for president; he
bowed out in April, kept his word and hit the hustngs
for Ada Ewing Stevenson which was his right to 40 So
1t must be said here and that Mr. Truman is
truly great American, consistent with his views and
a man of determination and courage.
He was Of the top men who attracted the at

yond that of Henry A. Wallace who shared so many of
Mr. Roosevelts views.
Mr.. Truman vigorously took up the he of Frank

legislation they were on hand to block his every move

governors against him to the extent that it appear

Seeing such avalanche of sentiment being built
up against HIM IN his own party 1T must be said to his
everlasting credit, Mr.. Truman veered an inch
from his firm stand Had he been character of diff
