Indignation Policy
The board of education wound
up its session by issuing a estate
ment of policy" on school segre-
gateion in Montgomery County.
The statement follows:
ut is thought wise to make a
statement of policy due to the
questions arising because of the
Supreme Courts recent ruling on
segregation in the schools, and
because of misunderstanding on
the part of many people.
First of all, it should be stat
ed, the schools of Montgomery
County will open in September
on the same basis as they always
have-separate schools for white
and colored. AS advised by the
School Boards attorney and con-
firmed by the State Department
of Education, the schools are to
be organized on the same basis
as already set up by the laws of
the State.
"The above ruling means, also,
that requests by pupils of one
rec to attend the schools of the
other race would not be granted.
There must be a change in law
before there can be any kind of
integration.
"Plans have been made to
study the effects and means of
Indignation. The School. Board has
set up a committee of nineteen
representative citizens to study
this question with them, outline
possible problems and questions,
to aid as a guide to, and inter
prefer of, community opinion and
advise as to feasible methods and
solutions.

Aided by the recollections of
the speakers, the thoughts of the
hundreds expected to attend will
range back to 1735 when William
Clarke of Lancaster County came
down to the Sinequa Trial until
it intersected with another In
dian trail, looked about and decid-
ed that here was good place to
locate trading post.
Iroquois Flourished
1t was to this trading post that
the Shawnees, Senecas, and Tus-
caroras-&proud member tribes
of the mighty Iroquois nation =
brought their furs and skins to
trade for flour, salt, powder and
ball, calico and - possibly, fire
water.
William Clarke and his son,
John, and Johns son of the same
name, lived and traded here, built
a general store to replace the
trading post as white settlers
came to out-number the Indians
as customers, and went away to
fight in the Revolutionary War
as members of Major Gists's
Maryland Four Hundred.
William Clarke was followed to
Clarksburg by an enterprising
inn keeper, Michael A. Dowden,
who saw that the trading past
was the harbinger of an active
commercial center Master Dowd-
en- bought 40 acres on Hammer
Hill and respectfully petitioned
the Frederick County Court for
a license as keeper of a public
house of entertainment" The H.
cense was granted in 1754-one
year after the daring Dowden had
started to build his long and dor
mer-windowed structure.

known as the Georgetown.Fred-

Editor,

The widespread interest in Mrs.
Paul K. TerrelPs letter in connec-
ton with the proposed shoppers
bus lines in Rockville, prompts
me to write in application of
the subject.
First of all, many of the mer-
chants and businessmen of our
city are in full accord with the
thoughts expressed by Mrs. Ter
rell. Among them are those who
already have signified their spon-
sorship of the proposed bus lines
or who plan to do so.
The Rockville Board of Trade
is working with all interested
business people in this matter
whether or not they are Board
members. This is not an unset
fish effort on our part because
we believe that what is good for
Rockville is good for the individ
ual business man. A special bus
inessmen's committee, headed by
Joe Steinberg, chairman of the
merchandising committee of the
Board of Trade, meets regularly
to steer the campaign to secure
sponsors for the bus service.
Fifty sponsors are needed be.
fore bus operation can begin.
