One must feel sorry for those people
who honestly believe, or at least so
they say, that pet animals are just for
abnormal folks whom nobody loves and
who love nobody, and so they get pets
and talk to them.
The truth is that the best-adjusted,
the most mature persons. invariably
love pet animals. birds, even fishes.
The most successful family we know
has eight children, and multitude Of
pets. Their latest is parakeet.
It may be taken almost as an axiom
that the better versed in life person
is, the surer he is to admire the beauty
and quality of living found in dogs.
cats. goldfish, hamsters.
Probably the pet-hater comes down
from families which. for one reason or
another. never had pet.
AS queer as 1t sounds, there are GER
tain national stocks that do not go in
for pet animals of any kind.
Maybe in the old European days the
animal was regarded as strictly utili-
tartan thing to eat. When your whole
attitude is to Stay and consume q
thing. you are not likely to make a
pet" of 1t.
Life is real. life is earnest. as the poet
says, and there is no time in the lives
of such people for other things than
getting UP. working, eating, sleeping.
etc.
You will search certain great religious
writings from start to finish without
finding a dog mentioned in them.
This means little, II anything, from q
religious standpoint, perhaps, but 1t

Pierre L'Enfant stated "in his latter
days, he lived at Chillum Castle, resi-
dence of Dudley Digges, near Bladens-

Pierre L'Enfant was a friend of
Thomas Digges. bachelor owner of War

1922 when Warburton Manor burned,
shortly after the death of the owner.
William Digges, master of Green Hill,
Chillum Castle Manor, and nephew
and heir of Thomas Digges. gave Len
FAINT home for his last days. While
living at Chillum Castle, L'Enfant spent
much of his time supervising the work
on the garden and grounds. He was
buried at Green Hill, later reinterred at
Arlington National Cemetery.

To his old-fashioned way Of looking

exactly the same attitude.
And yet one of the most successful

Montgomery School BUDGET

The Star has published letters from
&c. William Simonds" approving high
costs and high taxes for schools in
Montgomery County.
Montgomery County has been spend
ing for new school construction at a
rate of $4,000 per room; a figure
which has been criticized as contain
ing gravy"
The county managers proposed
budget recommended that 81 million less
be spent for schools than the Parent
Teacher Association succeeded in ram
ming through finally.
One item surely indicates that the
children are not benef1ting from the
wild spending. 1t is an item for 1.-TWO
psychiatriSts," to work through the
classrooms with the children" It also
indicates that parents are forcing the
public to pay this part of the medical
care of the child.
Out of the $187 basic tax rate for
last year $3.50 went for schools. The
tax on a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in
Bethesda or Chevy Chase totals be-
tween $400 and $500. The fanatical
PTA groups, through pressure on Of
ficials want taxes increased even more.
Unless the voters very carefully Gull
out the officials who are in the PTAs
pocket, taxes are due to go to $3.50
on the average Chevy Chase home
within the next two years.

Viewing With Pride

IfPresident Eisenhower's talk In Illinois
last week could be described as the opening
shot OF the 1854 congressional campaign,
1t might be said that he let go last night
with both barrels.
Evidently there has not been anything
seriously wrong with the performance Of
the Republican 83d Congress and the Eisen-.
hover administration. Or If there has
been, it must have escaped the Presidents
attention. Certainly Gen. Eisenhower did
not speak of it last evening. Referring
to the international scene, he did concede
that the terms of settlement in Indo- China
were disappointing" The President put
on sturdy show Of confidence, however,
with respect to EDO, and he found cause
for satisfaction in the end of the lighting
in Korea and in the turn for the better
in such places as Iran, Egypt and Guate-
mala. In short, he made it quite clear
that he is prepared to stand on the record
with respect to his conduct of foreign
affairs, and it must be said that the record
does not appear to offer many soft spots
for Democratic attack.
Although emphasizing that he was
proud" of the record of 83d Congress
in the field of domestic legislation, the
President also said he was disappointed
that some items in his legislative program
had failed Of passage. Among these he
enumerated such things as health reinsur-
ance, Taft-Hartley revision and foreign
trade. Such things as these, the President
said meaningfully, must await the 84th
Congress which assemblies next year. Some
what surprisingly, however, he did not make
direct appeal for election Of Republican
Congress. But he got his point across when
he said that it is up to the voters to deter
mine whether we're going ahead with this
program" or whether "we will be stopped
by some kind of political argument"
President Eisenhower made one addi-
tional point which may be expected to
figure prominently in the campaigning. He
assailed the prophets Of gloom and doom
(mostly Democrats) who have been pre-
dieting depression ever since the Eisen-
hover administration first began to aban-
don wartime controls The depression has
not been forthcoming, however, and, al
though the President did not refer to it,
a report just released by the Department
of Commerce shows individual income to
have been at an all-time high of some
$1,700 per person in 1853 This is the stuff
that political appeals are made of, and more
will be heard of this matter from Republic
can orators as the campaign progresses.

The Fort BeIvoir Reuctor

There are great potentialities, both
military and civilian, in the nuclear reactor
to be built and operated at nearby Fort
Belvoir under the joint direction of the
Atomic Energy Commission and the Army
Corps of Engineers. In effect what the
project represents Is another important
step toward Harvesting the atoms force to
heat buildings and produce electricity for
power purposes.
AS explained by the Army and the Acc,
the Fort Belvoir PLAINTIFF first of its kind
will be "preSSurized-water" type of re-
actor, like the one that is to generate at
least $4,000 kilowatts of salable electricity
in the Pittsburgh area. The special feature
of the undertaking is that it will be the
prototype of a producing unit, and
also heating unit, capable of being dis
mantled and flown to remote regions, there
to be reassembled and put to work.
Called the Army Package Power Re-
actor" (APPR), this experimental project,
In addition to its heat production, will have
a generating capacity of approximately
1,700 kilowatts of electricity, or roughly
enough to meet the needs of community
Of 1,7O0 persons. It's construction-in which
numerous qualified private companies have
OCC41 W Pal VII d COulpGtlIlVG-
bidding basis-will cost an estimated So mil
lion. Expensive as that may seem, however,
such a plant-if transported by air to Green
land or some isolated radar station in the
far north-would in the long run probably be
cheaper than comparable unit using bulky
conventional fuels. This Is so because it
would operate on relatively tiny quantity
of fashionable material and thus eliminate
the expense, difficulty and wartime risk of
long haul shipments, over land and sea, of
coal and oil.
Actually, as indicated by both the Army
and the Acc, there is every reason to be-
lleve that the Fort Belvoir model will be
a complete success and that it will provide
information paving the way for quantity
construction of plants of this type at costs
considerably below So million each. The
value of such reactors in certain possible
war theaters or at distant military bases
far from conventional sources of power
seems self-evident enough to speak for
itself.
Similarly, it requires little imagination
to visualize how the Apr could be adapted
tt civilian uses in our own country or how
IL could be employed in power-short areas

out liking horses. dogs, cats. even
snakes and mice, because without some
admiration for them, there is no real
way to appreciate the fact that Gods
life put them here in the beginning
with us, to share the wealth and glory
of this planet together. That we COM
monty do not realize this shows how far
off the eternal beam we have got, and
how far we have yet to go before we
become, as we so proudly announce.
mature.
Above all, in this day of crime and
juvenile delinquency, we must see to it.
as one way Of helping children to
normalcy. that every child has an
opportunity to be good to something.
For this the pet animal. dog or cat
or what have you. is even better than
another human being, because of its
apparent helplessness and dependency.
Selfishness and thoughtlessness are
the very beginnings of what we call
juvenile delinquency. The pet animal
alone gives every child an opportunity
to test himself against evil. There viii
be many failures, of course. Here no
more than elsewhere can we expect
perfection.
The adult person who does not,
honestly, like animals, is the very one
who needs their help most, perhaps.
Let him get good dog or cat. and
watch it for time, especially help it by
good care and feeding. and in time he
will come to realize that all sensible
men. our Presidents included, loved and
kept pets for the good Of their immortal
souls.
