High School students at Whea-
ton High School have been pro
hibited by the school administra-
tors from wearing dungarees or
denim jackets.
Clothes-conScious school admin
istrators, to the delight of one
segment of the clothing industry
and to the anguish of another
segment, have decreed that wash

plants of parents and students
over the expense, added work,
and differences in weather pro-
lection between dungarees and
cloths of thinner type, answers
have ranged from Let them wear

is means of combating juvenile
delinquency"
Somewhere along the line, the
school authorities have lost their
sense of perspective and along
with it, l fear, the saving grace
of a sense of humor. They did
not see fit to discuss the prob
lem with parents, nor with their
PTA before issuing the order, al
though the problem is one as to
which parents surely have a le-
Ultimate interest. They started
out by saying they were banning
too tight" Lewis, and now have
reached the point where they are
prohibiting not only non-tight
dungareeS, bu denim jackets.
One trusts they are spending an
equal amount of time and energy
on Duties for which we thought
we were paying them.
1 looked in the Yellow Tele-
phone Book under Clothing, but
did not find wheaton High
School Administration" listed,
perhaps because the book was
printed too early. l did find ads
for Correct Clothes for the Cler-
gy' and Fine Apparel for Gen.
tlemen", but nothing for high
school boys.
One of the greatest boons to
parents of this generation has
been the savings in work and ex-
pense through the wearing of
dungarees by their sons. They
are in use not only in elementary,
junior, and senior high schools,
but also are seen on various col
lege campuses. They are used
and accepted in other junior and
senior high schools in Montgom-
cry County.

for an effective Civil Defense pro.
gram.
Most of your questions would
have been answered if l had am
plified that part of the program.
Preparation for Participation in
Regional Civil Defense EXercis-
es." This sub-program requires
close cooperation with public
services which include Fire, Res
cue, Police, Health, Public Works,
Education, Transportation, Com
munication and Welfare services.
In addition, of course, there is
the Warden Service, the Ground
Observer Corps, the Amateur
Radio Operators and the Speak
ers' Bureaus. These public serv-
ices all comprise that arm of
Civil Defense called specialized"
and /or Technical Groups. Basic
also to Civil Defense needs is a
well-informed public as well as a
completely trained specialized
services. Our plans include a
periodic and a regular briefing of
the specialized groups and of the
public. This we consider is essen
tial to a Well-balanced and effect
i've program.
1t may seem that our progress
is slow. However, there are many
tasks ahead and when we take
step such as redefining or re-
affirming an area or setting up
district and block boundaries so
that they coincide with some es-
tablished system electoral, fire
or educational districts), we want
to be sure it is a forward step.
When we enlist volunteers we
want to be able to use them up
to but not beyond the extent of
their enthusiasm. We must keep
within the limits of our budget
and we must proceed in harmony
with other local realities which
include the temperament of the
public. To assist in acquiring and
maintaining satisfactory publ
disposition, the cooperation of
civic organizations, specialized
groups and the press is of pri-
mary importance.
Let me repeat, we are grateful
fora your concern and we appre-
ciate your criticism.
Very truly yours.

Foster Tells HOmen10kers
Of Family Program Ideals

Delbert Foster, county agent,
was guest speaker at the Deem
Der meeting of the Montgomery
County Council of HomemakerS'
Clubs. He explained that the Elk
tension Service is working toward
family program, based on the
philosophy of helping people help
themselves. 1
Regular meetings of the home
demonstration agents and coun,
ty agents are scheduled to dis.
cusS problems of the farm, home
and All programs. He believes
such planning will help develop
better farming, better homes, and
better community life.
In discussing the program for
1855, Mrs. Catherine M. RhoadS,
home demonstration agent, stated
that the Extension Service aimed
to help all who are interested in
the improvement of homemaking
and agriculture. In order that
the service may reach more
people, she pointed out the need
for the evaluation of existing
groups. Several presidents at
tending reported plans for com
bined meetings while others plan
to increase the size of their
groups.

nile delinquency stated as rea
son for banning dungarees. If
this is the case mot yet discov-
cred by others), it behooves us
to get them off our youngsters
in elementary school, when they
are at such an impreSSionable
age. personally, l don't like to
see them on girls, but am willing
to suffer aesthetically). If this
is the method Wheaton High
School administrators are using
to combat juvenile delinquency,
one may wonder whether the
three teen-age boys recently re-
ported to have broken into a
Wheaton store and got drunk are
members of this school. This act
of juvenile delinquency took place
after the ban of dungarees. And
one also wonders whether the
lads who got into bomb-making
trouble in Bethesda a while back
(another dungaree-banned area)
had even been dungaree wearers.
l should like to suggest %,
that the school authorities
promptly sit down with their
PTA and interested parents and
work out a sensible solution, or
(2) that the School Board or the
Montgomery County PTA Coun-
Gil take action in the matter since
it is one which not only affects
the relationship of the parent and
student with his or her school,
but also because, in addition to
taxes imposed upon us for school
purposes by our elected repre-
sentatives, we have been made
subject of an indirect tax by the
school administration.
Sincerely yours,
Philip Marcus.

teal"
He urged the ministers to
check members of their congre-
cations to see what they wanted.
His associate declared that prop.
er attitudes with respect to Ii.
quor are developed by parents in
the home and that the retailing
of the beverage had little to do
with whether or not youngsters
drink.
To all of this, the Legislative
delegation, through its chairman
Blair Lee, replied:
l. The delegation now has no
proposal to introduce revising
County liquor arrangements.
Persons who might wish such
revision have a deadline to two
weeks from Tuesday to get
their proposals into the hands
of the delegations.
2. That tavern owners, res
taurant owners and others had
talked about revision and that
he, Lee, wanted to get the
matter out in the open where
the public can examine it,"
3. That residents of the COun-
ty can absolutely count on an
easily accessible public hearing
on any mOnkeying around with
the (present law" before it
gets far at Annapolis.
On hearing this, proponents OF
both sides of the liquor question
decided to "hold their fire" for
the evening.
Other matters suggested:
That some effort be made to
remove conflicting jurisdiction
by agencieS-county and plan
ning-over sewers and streets.
This came from the Suburban
Builders association.
That the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission and the Up-County Plan
ming Board be merged and made
responsible to the County Coun-
Gil both as to appointment and
financing.
That the State Roads Commits
sion be compelled to pay the
moving expenses of a household
er as well as property value in
cases in which homes are ac-
quired for roads or impaired by
road construction.
That the WSCC and the Park
and Planning Commission be Gin
tegrated" on the administration
of park facilities. This was sug-
gested by Ralph Alderman of
Olney-one of the few Up Coun-
ty persons present.
The delegation also attempted
to explain tax bill to a bewild-
cred citizen and heard a simple
but moving plea that it do its
best please, to keep taxes down."

they are too full to eat.

Norwegian Bishop Speaks
The closing address was deliver
I'D by Bishop Eivind Berggrav of
Norway, who hailed the Evanston
meeting as marking a "new start"
toward the goal of united Chris
tendon.
His words of hope were tempered
however, with a word of caution
for those seeking a speedy reunion.
Bishop Berggav warned that a
united church could not be achieved
by the mechanical means of decla-
rations and resolutions. He took to
task persons who Simply get

as yet unprepared to united nov
an on the spot"
The answer, he said, "has to be
that the growth is up to God anC
will be completed in His time.
We do not determine the timing OF
Gods process"
Implicit in the Bishops address
was the ecognition that all of Ro-
man Catholic Christendom remain
ed apart from the World Council
and the insistence of the Orthodox
bodies that the reunion of separ
ated Christians required a return to
the Orthodox heritage.
At the same time, the clear in
tent of Orthodoxy to stay within
the council framework and cooper
ate on other levels was regarded
by. observers as assuring the
growth and effectiveness Of the
religious body.
Message To Churches Adopted
Final items of World Council
business that were taken up late
last night and this morning were:
1. Adoption of message to the
churches that proclaimed unshak-
able faith in "Jesus Christ as the
hope of the world" and urged local
congregations to consider prayer
