Democracy Grows by Practice,
Educator Tells Group at Wheaton

"The strength of any democ-
racy is directly proportional to
the practice of it by its citizen
leaders" This was the opening
statement of a speech made by
DR.. Gordon L. Lippitt at the 37th
annual Spring meeting of the
Maryland Vocational and Practi-
cal Arts association.
DR.. Lippitt, Assistant Director,
National Training Laboratory in
Group Development, National
Education Association, spoke at
the afternoon session of the meet
ing, which was held at Wheaton
High School, April 2.
The topic of his speech was
Human Relations and Group
Techrniques." He went on to say,
THE most important thing is the
study of man but educators
have not indicated that they think
so. Other points stressed by him
were the six social needs, group
characteristics, and the need for
effective democratic leadership.
This is the first year the meet
ing has been held in Montgomery
County, giving those schools, for
the first time, an opportunity to
demonstrate their vocational pro.
grams to the state.
Another feature of the meet
ing was the exhibits sponsored
by various vocational depart
ments in the county. Included
were exhibits on health and ply
steal education, music, home eco
Monies, guidance, business educa.
ton, art, industrial arts, distribu.
tive education and diversified &C.
equations, and agriculture. The
exhibits were set up in the gym
nasium.auditorium of the school,
where both the morning and af-
ternoon sessions were held.
Members of the association at.
tended meetings of various voca.
tional departments prior to the

season. Z-52's unique features
and its promise of a weed-free,
care-free lawn after it becomes
established, led to its being high
ly publicized in national maya
zines, newspapers and on radio
and television.
This Montgomery County
farm, Americas first turf farm,
devoted exclusively to the cult
walton of quality turf grass and
premium lawn sod, in a few
short years has become one of
the largest shippers of turf mate
rial in the country. Orders have
been handled from every State
in the Union and eleven foreign
countries.
Under the direction of the %.
year-old Wilmot, the farm sup
piled large quantities of Merton
B-27 Bluegrass for the rebuild
ing of the White House lawn in
the Nations Capital.

long masses Like the yellow perch;
does not form a nest.
HABITS: Does not travel in
schools; feeds mostly on minnows
and other small fish, which they
generally seize crosswise then turn
them around and swallow head
first; likes to hide in weeds and
dart out to seize it's prey; active all
winter; does not shed it's teeth in
summer; best angling in spring
and fall.
MANAGEMENT: Little can be
done by way of management, how
ever they can be successfully
propagated in fish hatcheries; re-
quires some legal protection such
as closed season and limits to
reduce the fishing pressure if not
for biological reasons; pollution is
an enemy.
VALUE: Good food fish though
bony, but not so much in demand
in Maryland as some of our many
salt water species. Furnishes good
sport to an army of anglers, as
well as good food for themselves,
their relatives and friends.

City Engineer Robert Ramp
said that the problem could be
solved by a ditch costing $4,000
