A great man once said, "With
public opinion nothing sun fail;
without it nothing can succeed"
This statement can be detri-
mental optical illusion and mental
delusion. Sometimes the greatest
harm is done when political
schemes are brought before the
public whepi it is not properly in
formed as to tbe intent of the is
sue prOp0seG Such issues are
brought firth in year when
only local elections are held.
Since many voters do not take the
time 10 go to the polls at these
off years, the issnes are expected
to carry because these absent
voters might be the ones that
would defeat the proposed bill.
Office seekers take the same
advantage and feel they have a
better chance of being elected be-
cause of the same conditions.
Since al property owners are
sometimes affected by the out
come in such elections by higher
taxes, it is important that they
take active part in keeping their
taxes down. Sipce there are al
ways group Nn the smaller
towns that want TO stay even
with the larger citiesN proves why
some small towns have higher
tax rates than some of fthe large
cities.
Public opinion can do D large
part in making or breaking a
small town. Let us always vote
to get men into office WHIP know
how to get the most for the least
of public funds expended.
The same great man once said,
"You can fool all the people some
of the time and sopse of the
people all of the tiMe, but you
can't fool all of thefpeople all of
the time" He did not say that
public opinion WAS always right.

Walter Johnson High School
held back-to-school-night Tuesday
the 10Th. 1t was a stupendous
attraction. Traffic tied up solid
ON Georgetown Road. We spent
at least quarter of an hour eye
ing one sign that said This i'm
provement is for your convent

improvement, though. (Sugges-
ton to Traffic Dept: Don't just

Walter Johnson has a fine
memorial in this school. And not
just physically, in a beautiful
building, either. We were delight
ed to meet at least a part of the
lively and devoted faculty. It's
what these people do, as much
as the place where they do it,
that makes a school.
Facilities are wonderful, too. In
the nice biology lab, where we
met Mr.. Harrison, we also saw
exhibits brought in by students.
A m ong them were "tonsils,
courtesy Val Heller" which
made us feel right at home. I'm
case you can't figure out why,
Val is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. V. Heller of Cabin John
Gardens.)
Highlight of the evening was
the language lab. This Is the
room where French is taught.
There are earphones at each
desk, connected to a tape record
er on which the teacher, Miss
Winfield, can play tapes Of dra-
matte readings and exercises. The
kids follow the text while they
hear it. The effect is extraordin-
arily intimate, even il you've
forgotten all the French you
learned in high school. 1t must
be a very effective teaching tool.
But it can be used for, at most,
only fifteen minutes, explained
Miss Winfield and her assistant,
Mr.. Lawrence, student teacher
from Maryland University. 1--WE
do not neglect the other aspects
of language study, such as gram

Currently in progress is the
remodelling and enlargement of
space allocated to the Laboratory
Department. This will provide
an office for the Associate Path
ologist, locker room for the labor
atory personnel, tissue prepare

work areas. A new facility, Radi.
oactive Isotopes, will be set up in
the expanded Laboratory. Ar
rangements are also being made
for the Inauguration of medical

The maternity facilities have
been enlarged, giving Suburban
Hospital a total of 40 maternity
beds. Additional nursery space, a
new formula room for the prep
aration of infant feelings, and an
entire section devoted to the care
of premature babies has been
provided.
The space provided for the
treatment of emergency cases
has been doubled. A well trained
staff is on duty "a hours a day
in this department. In the month
of October this year, this depart
ment reached an all time high in
admissions with 988 cases.
The X-ray Department, which
has doubled its number of serv-
ices within the past seven years,
has also benefited through this
expansion program. More equip
ment has been installed, and
more commodious space provided
to house the equipment. Also,
with the patients comfort in
mind an attractive waiting room
was added.
In the enlarged Dietary Depart

With the additions of the new
