Query on Book Fees
In Arlington Schools
Called Political Move

Legality of school book rentals
in some grades was questioned
by the Arlington County Board
yesterday and Immediately
brought a rejoinder from a
School Board member that the
query was a political" move.
The County Board asked Com
monwealth's Attorney William j.
HaSsan to look into the School
Boards newly adopted policy of
charging a retnal fee fl text
books in grades 8 through II.
"We don't want any more liti-
CATION against the School Board.
We just want to make sure
everything is legal" George M.
Rozee jr., Republican board
member, said.
Parents Question Fees.
Mr.. Rowzee said he has re-
ceived many calls from parents
asking why the fees are to be
paid to individual schools. He
said the questions asked included
whether the money is to be &C
counted for in the school budget.
"A School Board member, DR..
Barnard JOY, when asked later
about the matter, said book rem
tai is widely practiced in Vir-
ginia. He said that Mr.. Rowzee's
raising of the issue was a move
made in a political context"
A fee Of 81 is charged for the
use of textbooks in the eighth
and ninth gardes and the fee
for the three upper grades is
$5, he said.
On the point of payment to
the schools, DR.. Joy said the
money is collected by each pub
lie school and turned over to
the School Board. Then, he said,
fees are put into a fund used
only for the purchase of more
textbooks.
The County Board, in another
action. turned down a request
for a referendum on bonds for
public swimming pools.
Sidewalk Plea Granted.
A Catholic priest asked for
sidewalks along six blocks of a
street leading to parochial
school. His request was granted.
Father R. Dixon Beattie, pas
tor of st. AIMS Church and
founder of it's school at 900
North Frederick street, told the
board he was asking only for
funds to grade the street and
lay a base for the walks. He said
he would obtain the money for
asphalt sidewalks through do
nations from friends.
The board unanimously agreed
to assist in the project by trans
ferring 81, 500 from a contingent
fund.
The board also released a re-
port from Commemorative At
torney Hassan in which he said
that board action in delegating
planning and zoning matters to
new committees was legal and
valid"
Frank S. Morgan, chairman of
the Arlington Planning Com
which county heads have
gradually neutralized this year,
wrote to the board on September
8 that it's zoning actions were of
doubtful legality"

merely because they've lived
longer than somebody else. They
want it for their ideas, their ac-
oomplishments and the contri-
buttons they can still make.
They don't want tobe "yessed"
they don't want people agree
ing with everything they say ito
keep the old boy happy" They
welcome disagreement much
more than condescension.
SoME individuals assume that
in a conversation with an older
person, they are obliged to intro
duce such topics as "the blizzard
of '88." Elderly people have SEN
timental memories about by
gone days. but they don't neces-
sarily live in the past.
You don't have to be bashful
about sounding off about the vir-
tues Of washing machines, pre-
cooked baby foods and diaper
services in the presence of the
older generations. They won't be
hurt because these things didn't
exist in their day"
Ifyou're a woman, don't make
a point of snuffing out your ciga-
rette or hiding your cocktail glass
when an older person enters the
room. He usually realizes that
rules of etiquette have changed.
BY the same token, an elderly
person isn't fiattered by such coy
remarks as II must watch my
language and my behavior while
you're around" Grandfather
isn't as easily shocked as you
may think. He's been around a
long time - and in these years
he's heard plenty. He'll be happy
to listen to you - as long as
what you say is interesting!
In other words, treat him like

Excessive Difference
makes old people feel
out Of touch. Be natural

0NCE it was thought almost
" fashionable to treat elderly
people as if they didn't exist.
Now the tendency seems to be to
overdo the business of respect
ing your elders" Most older peo-
pie, I've found, feel that over.
courtesy is even more annoying
than no-Courtesy.
During one of the perform
ances of our television show, a.
year-old panelist Georgianna
Carhart missed several cues.
After the program was over, l
admOnished her about her mis-
takes. Instead of getting angry,
her face lit up in smiles and she
said, You're the first young
man who's treated me as l de-
serve in years and years"
What she meant was that this
was the first time she had been
treated as an equal - which is
the way she and most other el-
derly people want to be treated.
ONE night, when we had a little
party for the people in our show,
a production assistant tried to
help an elderly panel member up
from the buffet table. Keep
your hands off met" the old man
suddenly shouted. He quickly
apologized but explained, Il get
so DANCED tired of folks making a
grand show of helping me up or
opening doors for me"
When older people have physical
handicaps, assistance should be
offered. But when they are per-
fectly capable of moving around
under their own power, they dis
like being treated as dodderers.
Elderly people want and de-
serve respect, but within definite
limits. They don't want respect

DEEP CREEK LAKE, Md,
Nov. 27.-This summertime va
cation land is getting ready for
its biggest week of the year as
Maryland's deer season rolls
around.
Deer season opens December
Z and runs through December IL.
For three months of the year
lake resort owners play host to
families escaping from the swell
tering city. But, with the deer
season. hearty hunters prepared
for the mountains cold, arrive
by the hundreds.
This year local residents are
especially eager to welcome them
and are hoping they have a big
season. They say the deer are
so plentiful they have been raid
ing the flower gardens of lake
side homes.
583 Deer Bagged Last Year.
All Of Western Maryland draws
the hunters. Some from Balti-
more and Washington get only
as far as Allegany and Wash
ington counties. Last year 230
bucks fell in Allegany and an
other 1913 in Washington.
But the determined hunter
heads for the westernmoSt and
highest county, Garrett-home
of Deep Creek Lake-where a
record 5S3 deer were felled last
season.
Garrett rests on a tablelsnd-
2,465 feet above sea level here
at the lake-cut by deep val
leys Of the Youghiogheney Riv-
er in the northwest and the Po-
tomac in the southeast.
Garrett residents get IS big
a kick out Of deer season as do
their guests. Many Of them don
their hunting coats and take to
the trails with them.
Even bluejeaned high school
boys look forward to the big
week as an unofficial holiday
and take of for the mountains
with their fathers and friends.
Preparing for deer season is
a big job. The lake resorts take
in hunters by the week or day
and all the motels and many
farm houses along Route 40 are
filled to capacity on the Sunday
before the season opens.
Most Of the men, like Bud
Vannucci at Point View Inn,
have been out looking for trails
