Interior Official Asks Sampling of Dams in Alaska

WASHINGTON, R-A Depart ment of the Interior spokesman believes federal dam construction in Alaska might be limited to a few individual projects to show what could be done"
 The statement was made by Fred G. Aandahl, assistant secre- tary of interior, before a House territories subcommittee Wednes- day in elaborating upon the need for legislation to grant permanent authority to the department to in- vestigate water resource projects in the territory.
 Aandahl said all areas of Alas ka have a definite need for addi- tional power now but that con- struction of hydroelectric dams by local groups is generally be- yond their financial capabilities '"
 One example of the problem met in Alaska was cited by R. w. Jennings, formerly with the Blu reau of Reclamation in Alaska. He said that while Ketchikan cur rently needs an additional 2,O00 to 5000 kilowatts, the only eco- nomically feasible project in the area is 15,000 kilowatt installa- ton at Swan Lake. He said it probably would be IS to 20 years before the city could use all this generation.
 Aandahl said the departments year to year investigation pro- gram in Alaska has emphasized power development "because it appears that power development is one of the important means of accelerating development of AL aska."
 Urging the legislation to make permanent the departments in vestigative authority, he said it was important that studies con tinue at an effective rate since investigations will encourage in dustrial development, accelerate use and aid in the development of other Alaska natural resources and contribute toward permanent settlement.
 The subcommittee approved the legislation after writing in a pro- vision to limit appropriations for the program to not more than $25O,O0O in any one year

Underground Explosions Rip Hawaii Island

PAHOA, Hawaii, Massive underground explosions ruptured the scared tip of eastern Hawaii island anew, spewing a fountain of molten lava 200 feet into the air Wednesday.
 Burning rocks poured out of the ground along a half mile strip, slashing a flaming path across fields of sugar cane.
 The National Guard sent it's trucks rumbling to the rescue of some 100 persons whose escape routes were threatened.
 About 400 others already had been taken from their homes.
 Curtis Kamai was surveying road Assures when the earth burst open again.
 Tt was just like touching off a half mile string of gunpowder, :" he said. "I heard the roar of lava underground. The earth was shak- ing.
 "Then suddenly it went up like powder train. In two minutes the whole half mile stretch was blazing lava 100 feet in the air." :"
 One eruption of red-hot rock landed only 200 yards from 13 plantation workers. All escaped uninjured.
 The entire area was like a giant powder keg with dozens of burning fuses.

Public Opinion Polls
In Our County?

Back in the days when used to study what called
political science with the accent the last word instead
of the first the today great hopes expressed
with respect to the public opinion poll That of course
before Dr. Gallup rode cropper the dewey dewy grass
The polls have quite recovered But the need that
inspired hope in them is just clear in terms of
working democracy
Look at the county it faces indignation today as
in point.
The functionares elected to express the will of the
people county public school policy to give them
the benefit of the doubt cropping for the public will the
matter of indignation.
AS the basis for assessing that WILL they have: petit
ton county PTA vote, resolution by the Women Voters
sndy letters to the editor in this newspaper All of these
are significant but truthfuy maintain that they
even begin to express the will of the majority.
What is that will? The School Board promised pub
lie hearing to allow all who would like express themselves
Now there to be doubt to the validity of that
promise referendum would settle the matter fairly and
definitely but reerenda expensive when conducted
part of general election.
Perhaps really apd truly impartial public opinion poll
has merits It's too bad that wealthy citizen cannot
endow such group the County Civic Federation to
take periodic sampling of public opinion controversial
matters. Such method - with all its imperfections
should be reliable guide public opinion than the
push and pull of pressure groups matter how well in
tended.

Civic Vitality Displayed
On Two Fronts

There many ways of displaying vitality. Physical
energy and the willingness to it is way. Mental
effort particularly when applied concrete situation is
another. We glad to be able to report that Rockville
has both
If anyone inclined to doubt this statement we urge
him to consider two events the Memorial Day parade
and the earlier hearing proposals to provide bust
parking for Rockville
The parade everything that parade should be -
made of smart band and military units and complete with
Buebrds and baseball teams.
Like most other spectators, got big kick out of
the bands, drum maorettes and marching units. But
got just much of charge out of the bravey marching
ranks of the small fry and the occasional wy notes of
of the younger brass players in the band.
Life is not parade The battles fought by individuals
and nation rarely heraded by swapping banners and
ringing trumpets The tests frequently lonely and
they sometimes take place in the byways of life very
dark nights indeed
By contrast therefore, it does the human spirit good
it to when step forth together with coors fly
ing and visible marching order for the good e the good
and the sacred memory Congratulations each and
every participant in the parade and sharp salute to the
devoted citizens who worked long and effectively in
staging it.
We find equally commendabe and encouraging the
widespread and constructive interest shown reported in
columns in this issue in plans for the solution
of the cty's public parking problem
We have particular plea to enter in behalf of any of
the plans advanced for the financing of the project Indeed
the main theme of this editorial is qualification at the sim
and earnest effort being expended in the matter
We do hope, however, that partizanS of the various
methods of proceeding before the community will find
ground that will enable the parking program
move forward We urge all parties not to be dOgmatc in
their beliefs to the point of further delaying action
More public parking is of the paramount needs of
Rockville.

Where we live 9/1Oths of a

ambulance sirens. One usually
comes to a rural area to enjoy

major form of transportation in
rural areas should be handled
with a sense of responsibility,
something that seems to be lack

Cost of the machine is compare
BILE to one room of a house. There
is no price tag on a life. Broken
bones, SCARED faces, shattered
nerves are expensive from the
standpoint of money and ones

AS appalling as the accidents,
is the casual acceptance Of them.
1t seems strange in a community
made up of people who go to
church regularly and work hard
for their living week after week
that no concerted effort has been
made to do something about these
accidents. We can't help but no
tice that each Sunday following
these crashes tickets are served
more generously to speedsters in
broad daylight. We urge that no
leniency be shown these people

urge the people of Damascus, the
county police, and all other citi-

to control the speed of cars on
highways that were not built for
super-Highway speed-roads that
have dirt shoulders, mail and

Dear Sir:

Editor,
Montgomery County Sentinels
Dear Sir:
The recommendations of the
County Manager of Montgomery
County to the Montgomery Coun
ty Council for slashes in the funds
requested by the Montgomery
County Board of Education for
school operation and construction
have precipitated a crisis in Mont
gomery County.
These cuts threaten disaster to
our County school system. They
also threaten serious losses to
property values in the County and
to businesses which depend on
continued growth of the County
A very great number of the
people who now live in Montgom-
cry County have moved there be-
cause they wish TO have the advan-
tages of its good school system
They have been willing to pay the
cost of residences and taxes to
have their children in this school
system. These people have eX.
pected that the kind of school sys.
tenn the County now has will be
continued and improved as the
County develops. The Board Of
Education's budget is designed to
do just this.
People who have moved into the
County with this eXectation will
be cheated unless the Boards re.
quests are restored.
If the County Managers rec
concentrations stand, the drawing
power of the Montgomery County
School System in comparison with
other systems in the area viii van.
ish. The inevitable result will be
showdown in the growth Of the
County and loss in real estate
and commercial values in the
County.
The County Manager has rec.
commended a cut Of S3,ll9,660 or
500 in the County funds request.

Our Democratic County Coun.
Gil, composed as it is of outstand

not tolerate any backward step in
sofar as our school system is con

We are all interested in goo6

Council must be congratulated
for working increasingly toward
that goal. However, the Demo
cratic party in this county has
pledged itself unequiVocably that
Montgomery County shall have
the best possible school system
This Council realizes, as every cit
iZen does, that the losers in an un-
warranted cutback in the school
budget would be our children. We
must depend upon the wisdom of
those having intimate knowledge
of our school system as to
whether or not these proposed
cuts represent a backward step
If they do, the County Council
will rectify them. Money consid
erations alone must never take
precedence over the welfare of
our children.

Froespsan Substitutes Duck Hunt R@ErjeveF

Pilots of Navy Patrol Squadron Two based here have been losing ducks over deep waters for lack of a good retrieving dog until they enlisted the aid of Lieutenant (junior grade) Philip Schlegal, Of ficer-in- Charge of the Underwater Demolitian Team Eleven Detach- ment that participated in the re- cent Ground Defense Exercises at the Kodiak Naval Station.
 The Navy Frogman acted as retriever for three duck hunting expiditions of the Navy pilots and was rewarded with an equal share of the kills, which found their way to the submarine USS Perch's wardroom mess.
 Floating silently while waiting for the hunters guns to boom, LTJG Schlegel utilized all the skills of Navy Frogmen stalking an enemy position. AS dead and in- jured ducks rained down on the water, LTJG Schlegel swan swift ly to retrieve the game. He dis patched injured ducks with silent slashing strokes of his knife in the same efficient manner as he would an enemy sentry.
 Rubber-suited, fin-equipped and carrying the full combat raiment of Navy Frogmen, LTJG Schlegel proved to be more expert in re- trieving fallen game than any ca nine retriever in the area.
 The Squadron pilots were jubi- lant with their human retriever" and bade both LTJG Schlegel and duck hunting a sad farewell upon completion of the Frogman's brief tour at Kodiak.
