Story of

Rosemary Hills is a community
of apartments and moderately
high-priced houses off East-West
Highway midway between Silver
Spring and Chevy Chase.
Its new elementary school of
IA classrooms and an all-purpose
room was dedicated this month
before an audience of Superin-
tendent Forbes Norris, President
Helen Scharf of the School Board
and 225 parents and teachers.
The community is very proud
Of the fact that the schools all
purpose room is one of the few in
the county that is being used for
its original purpose as an audi
forum instead of classroom
space.
But a much more important
reason for pride is this commu-
nity's action in a crisis in the
potentially explosive area of in
tegration which has solved before
the new school opened its doors
this fall
Last year a group of citizens
in the Rosemary Hills Citizens
Association became concerned
when they realized that their new
school was slated to receive a
large number of the Negro stu
dents from the Lyttonsville area
who at that time were attending
Rollingwood Elementary.
This concern reached its peak
last summer when the school adj

The organizing committee of

part in the Citizens Association

Negro parents are well repre-

and have volunteered and been in

At the dedication ceremony, a
Negro and a white parent served

the two principals report no OBJ

problems because of indignation
and also no lowering of stand

ing hand to them if necessary
but they felt that educationally
it was a problem that might bet
ter be spread over more than one
community.
DR.. Norris then came to the
conclusion in his own mind that
by putting such large number
of Negro students in one school
he would be violating his own
principal of maintaining educa-
tional standards. He agreed to
explore the possibility of another
arrangement.
The PTA mediators made an
informal check of the Negro COM
munity to see if there would be
objection to transporting the AZ
Negro children on the other side
of the railroad to a third school
not far away-Rock Creek Forest
Elementary. There was no re-
ported objection.

cipal of this school. She was will

Suburban Hospital reports a
sharp increase in the number of
operations performed since its
new surgical suite, with six mod

October %. The hospital opened
one of the new operating rooms
four days early when 7-year-old

that would put nearly all the Ne
gro children in the Rosemary
Hills school district.
This meant that some "a Negro
children would be attending Rose
mary Hills which had a prospec-
tive white enrolment of 343. 1t
would give this school the highest
number and percentage of Negro
students of any previously white
school in the county.
Other communities in the coun-
ty when faced with a situation
in indignation not of their liking
have reacted with loud protests,
petitioning of the school board,
and even picketing of the school,
and all to no avail.
But the Rosemary Hills people
first proceeded with quiet study
to reassure themselves that there
would be no health problem and
then turned their attention to the
educational aspects of the prob
lem,
Lyttonsville while it has num-
Der of well-kept, modern homes
has also some of the poorest liv-
ing conditions in the county. It's
children until Indignation went to
the Linden school, an admittedly
substandard school with no kin
dergarten and only two teachers
for all six grades.
These factors would naturally
affect the educational back
ground of the Lyttonsville chill
dren. While the small group of
members of the Citizens Associ-
alton felt that Rosemary Hills
could handle a fair share of these
children, they also felt that an
unreasonable number would tend
to lower the standards of the
whole school.
They appealed to DR.. Norris
and his staff who reexamined the
situation and came to the con-
clusion that they had no alterna-
tive to the existing plan to send
all "a Negro students to Rose
mary Hills.
The school administration
pointed out that the school had
capacity of $50 and though the
full number of Negro pupils
would make class sizes averaging
over 30, they planned to set up
two special classes to handle re.
tarded children and cut their pro-
portion in the regular classes.
A suggestion from the small
but insistent group of Rosemary
Hills citizens that the railroad
spur line" the dividing line be-
tween the white communities be
extended to the Negro communi-
ty, was turned down by the staff
at first.
1t would have meant sending
some AZ more Negro children to
Woodlin elementary where "a
were already enrolled in a 401
capacity school with a total en-
rollment of 400. Any increase
here would mean double sessions
for the whole school.
AT this point, with the citizens
group still unsatisfied, County
PTA mediators quietly entered
the picture. In discussions with
the citizens they pointed out the

istration.
Any appeal to the school board
with its resulting publicity would,
in the opinion of the PTA people,
only force the superintendent to
stick to his guns and the school
board to back him, as had been
the case elsewhere.
To the superintendent, it was
pointed out that the Rosemary
group appeared both fair-minded
and intelligent about the situa-
ton; that they were ready to ac-

joining other Safety Councils in
extending the Green Cross drive

in the county. East Cleveland hopes
to enroll $500 persons.
At meeting Of the East Cleve-
land Council Monday night, 1888

That Green Cross membership
pays off is evident from the ma
tion recognition made this week to
East Cleveland by the National
Safety Council. Green Cross men,
berships will continue this pro-
gram, since fifty cents of each
"paid to East Cleveland" member
ship is retained for the East Cleve-

Swedish Polio Vaccine
For 100000 Children
Ready Next Year

STOCKHOLM-(By Air MaiD
The Swedish Government Bac-
THEOLOGICAL Laboratory in Stock
holm expects by next year to have
produced enough domestic anti
polio vaccine for the incubation
of 100000 children, or the same
number estimated by the govern
ment when it appropriated two
million kronor, or 100000, for
the purpose Of a mass VAGINA
ton in 1857. The Laboratory's
ultimate goal is to arrive at a
production sufficient for the in
oculation of 100000 children.
However, in consideration of the
difficulties encountered both in
Sweden and abroad, the Swedish
experts do not wish at present
to make definite statement
about the size of the production.
The Swedish vaccine now stored
for use or in the process of man.
ufacture is made from tissues of
human fetus. In addition to this,
first batch of vaccine using
tissues from monkey kidneys, SIM
liar to the American Salk prep
aration, has teen produced and is
now undergoing careful tests. This
will suffice for the incubation of
10000 children, and it is hoped
that two patches Of this monkey
vaccine will be brought out every
month. each enough for $4,000
children, or in all 100000 by next
year. The Swedish testing pro-
cess takes at least five weeks and
comprises 404 different checks.
The experts are striving to keep
the safety margin below mini
mum of 100000, which is said
to be considerably stricter than
what obtains in some cases
abroad Honesty demands. how
ever, that we give up the illusion
of a vaccine Of one hundred per
cent efficiency" said Professor
Sven Gard, of the Laboratory,
in a recent interview Nobody
can issue such a guarantee. In
order to vaccinate, it is also ne
cessary to take the infection risk.
In Sweden, about one person in a
hundred becomes the victim of po-
Ito sometime during his or her
life. 1t is therefore justified to
take certain, but not unknown,
risks. We must know exactly
what to do"
