Firm Wins
OkGy on
Tuo Signs

General Outdoor Advertising
Company was successful this
week in its third attempt to re
locate two signs on Rockville
Pike and Edmonston Drive.
Voted down 80, Councilmen
that the signs were a traffic haz-
Greene stuck to their argument
that the signs were atraffic haz-
ard.
The other members went along
with the recommendation of the
Rockville Advisory Committee
that the signs which had to be
moved because of the widening of
the Pike were far enough back
from the road way to give good
sight distance and not distract
from the traffic signal at the
intersection.
Previous hearings resulting in
denial of permission had had con-
flicting testimony from traffic ex-
perts as to whether the signs
would contribute to accidents or
MOI.
Eugene Clifford, chairman of
the traffic committee is a traffic
engineer and his word swung the
vote of Mayor Dickran Hovsepian,
John Rausch and John Oxley
The signs will be located 65
feet back from the roadway and
400 feet from the intersection.

Football Prepares You to Foce Life!
BY MEREDITH S. BUEL
TEEN Editor Of Ths star

It's the football season
halfway mark for WASH
ington area high schools.
The scholastic atmos-
phere Is a study in excite
ment. Fans are yelling for
a school championship as
well as a victory. The foot
ball player is the talk Of
the school. A big man in
a hero's spotlight.
And speaking OF the
player himself: What real
value can he derive from d
gridiron pounding? Again
the age-old question arises
is football a student
sidetrack to poor grades?
Or detrimental TO a future
career?
To answer these ques-
tons, TEEN interviewed
the men who know best
men who formerly were
local high school grid
stars and have felt the in
fluence of football as they
rose toward life's biggest
goals-success and happi-
ness.
One who is achieving
them is Richard T. (Dick)
West. Mr.. West, now "a,
is a vice president of
Weaver Bros, Inc. mort
gage banking real estate
and inSurance). He starred
at Episcopal High and
later at Princeton.
"As far as grades CO."
he recalls, playing foot
ball is an incentive to do
well in your studies. A
player knows he'll be in
eligible if he doesn't keep
his grades uD."
Mr.. West played quar-
terback and blockin g
back at Episcopal High,
from 1874. He was
team captain and made
Virginia's All-State first
team. Those last two years
when the football strain
was the greatest he had
the top grades in the
SCHOOL, At Princeton,
where he also was foot
ball team captain in 1947,
he helped lead the team
to an Ivy League cham
pionShip. Good enough to
be named All-Ivy League
and All-East that year, he
went on to graduate Phi
Beta Kappa.
This may surprise
you," he says, "but the
football players at Prince
ton averaged better grades
than anyone else on
campus.
He adds: But don't
make too much a point of
those grades. Football is a
great sport to gain conf
dence and the ability to
understand others. You

Talks On Holly

Strange as it may seem, the
holly has played an important role
in history.
Ted E. FouIke, of General Elec-
trio, will trace the fascinating
story of this flower from prehis-
toric times through the pagan era
to its important place in the
records of early Christianity when

on Tuesday, December 18th, $3.50
pm. for United Lutheran Church
Women of st. James Luthran

Designed for both the laymen
and the amateur gardner, the talk
weaves an interesting oral fabric
of history and practical applica-
tion of this popular landscaping
plant.
Foulke will also show color
slides to emphasize the practical
applications of the use. of hollies
in this area.
A consultant working on the de-
sign Of olow discharge lamps for
