Authority.
Gets Loan

The new Revenue Authority of
Montgomery County was "set up
in business" with a $4,000 loan
authorized Tuesday by the Coun-
ty Council from the general funds
of the county.
The five members OF the Rev
enue Authority, who were named
last Summer and took office
Sept. %, have held four meetings
to date and are still in the organ
iZation stage.
J. Ingram Medley, chairman, re-
ported the authority plans to ap-
point an executive secretary with
in the next ten days and to set
up an office in the Silver Spring
county building by Jan. l. The
$4,000 loan for which the county
is to be reimbursed will provide
salary for the executive secretary
and office expenses.
The authority, empowered by
state legislation to finance self.
liquidating projects such as air
ports, parking garages and other
facilities, has undertaken no
studies as yet on any projects.

Children learn to speak their
native tongue by listening and re-
peating. Readin, writin' and the
why's" of grammar come much
later.
This principle, applied to the
teaching of a second language
and known to the professionals
by the fancy name of "auraloral
method" has resulted in a pilot
project of three foreign language
laboratories in Montg m cry
schools this year.
Bethesda Chevy Chase, Walter
johnson and Wheaton are the
three high schools chosen for the
experiment.
In each school, a classroom has
been converted by installing 30
individual headphones and vol
ume controls on the desks.
At the front of the room, a
micrOphOne, booster amplifier and
tape recorder are set up. Through
this simple, comparatively mex.
pensive means, some 100 stu.
dents can experience the new
process daily.

Remember those beautiful
Christmas lights strung up along
Rockville's streets last week?
Well, they've been turned off.
1t seems that not enough bust.

paying for.
And they'll stay off until a com.
mittee of businessmen gets some
more money toward present com.

a little more than $500 now.
Van Lippard, chairman of the

He will accept pledges. He

out outside interference.
That there are only ID other
high schools in the country
equipped to teach by this method
shows how recent its origin is
but Mrs. Genevieve Blew, second
airy supervisor in charge of the
program, has no doubts about its
efficiency.
From a pilot project, she ex.
poets it to grow until every high
school in the county has at least
one foreign language lab.
The idea was proposed at a
workshop set up last Summer to
develop course guides in French,
Spanish and Latin.
Mrs. Blew and II Of the coun-
TVS foreign language teachers
took a critical look at the de-
velopment OF listening and speak
ing skills and decided that more
oral.aural work was needed.

Spokesman
Hit Law on
Cemeteries

A surprised County Coun-
Gil sat back Tuesday and
silently watched vocal citizens
rip apart proposed legislation
that would require county
cemeteries to buy licenses to
stay open.
The Council, after listening to
three solid hours of opposition to
the proposal during public hear
ing attended by more than 100
persons, decided to keep the rec
ord open for 10 days to allow
further opinions to be mailed in.
There is little expectation, how
ever, that the Council will act on
the proposal in its present form.
The Council hearing room was
damned with spokesman for
large and small, private and pub
lie cemeteries, members of the
clergy, and morticians.
Their principal objections were:
The bill would put the little
church cemeteries out of bust
ness.
. 1t would legislate private
cemeteries out of existence.
There is no need for such
regulation.
The minimum size of so
acres is "preposterous" and would
exclude new church cemeteries.
The bill is based largely on
an "outmoded" cemetery code in
use in the District of Columbia.
. 1t could prohibit kin from
being buried with their family in
old, non-conforming cemeteries.
1t would require certification
of approval of the departments of
inspection and licenses, the fire
marshal, the county health Off
Ger and the department of public
works.
Although two spokesman for
cemeteries twice asked the coun-
cil-at-large. Where is the need
for such legislation, no answer
was made.

Q Over 167 Negro secondary
students be forced TO transfer to

would have students added only
where space and program allow.
Richard Montgomery would
take the few academic students
left in Carver after the proposed
transfers. No Senior student, ex-
cept academic, would be made to
transfer out Of Carter.
Along with the first report
from this committee since Super
lntendent c. Taylor Whittier took
office, the School Board heard
warnings from Rockville and up
county principals that the area Is
fast approaching a crisis In need
for new secondary schools and
more vocational facilities with or
without indignation.
+. Guy Jewell, Broome princi-
pal, reported that his brand new
building would be over capacity
in 1859 and hoped that a new
junior high in Rockville would
be ready by 1860.
Damascus High principal, Ell
lis Cline, reported that his school
would reach its maximum capac-
ity in 1861. An addition now I'M
der construction makes space no
problem at present.
His community is ready to ac-
cept the % Negro students to be
transferred, Chimes felt, but will
not yet accept Negro teachers.
Gaithersburg's Robert Gibson
said that his school will be 800
over capacity next year. Negotia-
tons have not been concluded
for the site of the new junior
high which is needed to relieve
his school.
Sherwood High will be at max
imum capacity next year with

Both RedInnd Hunts
Chase Willy Reynard

The Redland Hunt, fox-hunt-
ing group formed in 1882, is chas-
ing Reynard on different sides of
the fence.
On one side is Master of Fox
Hounds Thomas t. Mott, ST., of
Sandy Spring, founder of the or
ganiZation, and on the other is
William F. Carl, principal owner
of Martins Dairy, Olney. Both
claim the title of Master Of
Hounds.
The division had its beginning
when Mott, nearing 70, became in
active in hunting several years
ago, due to business obligations
and poor health. He turned the
reins over to Carl who became
joint Master of Hounds.
When he came back to the
Hunt about year ago, Mott said.
he didn't like the way Carl was
running things, $50 l dismissed
him."
New Group Formed
Carl took things into his own
hands. He and other members of
the Redland Hunt formed a
splinter group they call the Red
land Hunt Association. Frank
and Joe Fraley, Motifs huntsmen,
went with Carl.
Subsequently, at Motifs re.
quest, a meeting was held and a
vote was taken on the policies
the Hunt would follow with re.
spect to the two Masters. Accord.
ing to Carl, the vote was 40-4
in favor of his tenure. And so,
separate camps were drawn up.
The two groups hunt every
Wednesday and Saturday but
usually over different ground.
Both use subscription dog packs
members pay to keep the packs.
Although the two groups def
initely are separate, they have
not bothered to change their
stripes very much. Announce.

on almost identical stationery,
The only difference being that

Endorsement

Secret Meeting
By Marge Flynn

A bouquet given the County

tain some thorns.
A letter from Willard A. Nor.
ris, a WSSC commissioner, ex-
pressed appreciation of the coun-
ellis Endorsement of the Watts
Branch site for the water filtra-
ton plant.
The unguided missive turned
into an on-target missile.
News of the informal council
Endorsement of the highly con-
troversial Watts Branch site hit
the council chamber like bomb
shell. Such action had not been
previously reported to the public.
Council members Immediately
disclaimed the Endorsement cred
it and launched a lengthy discus
sion to clear the record"
Meeting in closed session with
WSSC representatives, council
members said they had expressed
favorable comment but the coun-
Gil took no formal action on the
controversial site.
Whats the difference?" asked
Councilman Charles JaInison.
I'VE approved it as individuals.
You, Graham, said :"
Don't quote me on what was
said in a closed session." snapped
J. Grahame Walker.

dents, always greater during De
cembcr, are increasing yearly, he
said.
There were 292 accidents in De
cember, 1854, BOT in. 1865, and 364
last year. McAuliffe said the &C.
cidents were caused by:
Rain and snow storms;
Fewer daylight hours;
Careless driving during the
Christmas rush;
Package i aden pedestrians
iaywalking.
Col. McAuliffe pointed out that
the very young and old pedestri.
ans are the most accident
prone" He backed up this state
ment with some more statistics:
the only three fatal accidents in
the county since last May involy-
ed three pedestrians, each 80
years old or more.
Add TO these problems the
drinking driver, McAuliffe said,
"and you have the most recog.
nizablc factors contributing to De
cember's high accident rate
To combat the expected in
crease in accidents. the police dc.
partment will assign cars equip

safely this month, Col. McAuliffe
