POTOMAC
BY RosERr G. spivAck

Rotary o. the Presidents COM
mittee. says we have made several
serious errors in judgement" In
recent years, We are deluded.
Clark reports, by misinformation
about Russian science that is be
ing uneonBciogsly circulated by
people who should know better
One Of the myths" being fed
tn. American public Is the mo-
ton that German scientists,
captured after World War III.
are responsible for recent Soviet
achievements.
The fact il the Nazi scientists
have become obsolescent They
haven't come up with an Idea In
this field (outer space for 10
years We also had German rocket
experts and they haven't come up
with anything The Russians de-
yeloped the satellite themselves
Another myth" Clark said Is
that Soviet science IL so rigid II
can't turn out anything worth.
while There Is no evidence OF
this at all he said The country
Is politically rigid, but when Il
comes TO the scientists they have
more freedom than we generally
realize
None OF US who are not scien-
lists can, Of course, adequately
appraise this information. Clark
and Dr. Edward Teller. one Of our
A-bomb pioneers. are both experts
and believe Il.
There Ii another report,
though ON Soviet research,
which il "a little more enoourag-
Ing from our point Of view.
a Soviet novelist named Vlad-
imir Dudinstcy has just written a
brilliant book called Not BY
Bread Alone" IT'S the story Of q
Soviet inventor who tried 10 buck
the bureaucrats with a new idea
but couldn't get anywhere because
they hadn't thought Of IL first.
The picture be draws Is one Of in
ncxiblhty within the Russian
scientific world
You can take your choice az to
whose information is more &C.
curate. There's probably a lot Of
truth In both versions.

PERSONALITY PARADE:
The Preacher

David Collins thought he was
going to be an architectural en-
gineer. Then, two years ago in a
chapel in Westminster, Md. where
he was attending a conference of
Youth Methodist Fellowship, Dave
knew his role in life was to be a
minister.
God spoke to me-not in so
many words. 1t was just that l was
oblivious to all that was going on
around me- The only thought on
my mind was that I must be a
minister" 18-year-old Dave ex-
planned.
Since then, the teen-ager with
the soft green eyes and the lost
North Carolina accent has been
about his intended life's work. even
though he's still a student at
Northwestern High School
Last November Dave got his
Loca. Preachers license He began
studying during the summer for
the written and oral exam. Now he
fills in for pastors. When the minis
ter at Brentwood Methodist Church
went on vacation, Dave preached
and conducted the Sunday-night
service He substitutes in other
churches, too.
Since public speaking is an
mt grail part Of a ministerial life,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-13

Dave has been a busy orator. He
has won speech medals competing
against other Marylanders in the
Youth Temperance Council. He's
vice president of the Maryland
vic and worship chairman of the
Methodist Youth Fellowship of
Brentwood Church.
The West Hyattsville resident is
also active in school groups and
athletics. He's treasurer of the
Maryland Association of Student
Councils. At Northwestern he sings
in the capella choir and was CO.
captain of the soccer team. He
also plays basketball and champi-
onship football in the Christian
Youth Crusade League.
Dawes ambition has given him
nickname-"The Preacher" And
to some of his teen-age friends,
Dave has given help and hope.
Rather God has given them the
help and hope l was only the
agent Dave said.
He has been able to help his
friends frequently since he has
chosen his career. Typical of the
cases that Of a boy whose mother
had died week before Dave met
him. The boy needed something to
hang on to. something to comfort
him.
And Dave, who eventually wants

certs. They go to the University Of
Maryland once a year to compete
with other bands and orchestras
from schools throughout the State.
The ninth graders give a play each
year to earn money for their prom.
This year they gave three one-act
plays, one of which was a short
ened version of Shakespeare's Mac
beth. The art classes are always
popular because the instructors
help the students to get ideas in
art. and try to develop any talents
they have. KJHS has had winners
of local and State competitions and
of the Corcoran Gallery scholarship.
Besides pursuing their regular
studies and club programs some
students help in the library and in
the school Office. Others work in
the school store, run by the stu
dents alone.
Kensington has an honor roll and
credit list. This program helps
students strive for better grades.

Club for those who want to en-
large their knowledge about for
eign countries as they study the
language. And. particularly in
teresting activity at present Is the
Future Teachers Club. Last year
the ninth grade members took over
the teaching Of certain classes for
one day at KJHS.
The Future Nurses Club. spon-
sored by the school nurse. has just
finished collecting information from
the pupils on polio shots. FASH
ion shows are presented by the
Home Arts Department. and ex-
hibits of well-made craft items are
displayed attractively in hall cases
throughout the year.
Last but not least. the students
are very proud of their two basket
ball teams. Both the varsity and
the 9Th grade teams have clearing
squads and pom-pom girls who
have rallied student support TO VIC
tories this season. The boys OF
all three grades have intra-murals

KJHS has a number of foreign
students. many of whom are quite
active in the school. The editor-in-
chief of the school paper is from
Central America. and one of the
cheer leaders is from Germany. One
foreign student who enrolled this
year from Puerto Rico could speak

many students speaking foreign
languages, but also there are many
American students who have lived
abroad and can speak other Ian
