Yeor Round Schools?

DECENTLY, this newspaper carried a
N lenthy story which set forth the reac-
lions of key educators in the county to the
proposition that the school year should be
heightened.
The reporter started out with the prem
Use that 1T is wastefu and very great lux
ury to build millions and millions of dollars
worth OF clasSroomS and then paddock them
Tor three months of every year. Also, the
reasoning went, something should have hap
pened to our thinking when Sputnik l head
ed successfully for outer space And this was
punctuated by the remarks of President
Eisenhower himself when he addressed wor-
ried nation telling us, among other things.
OF the educational achievements of the aver
age Russian high school graduate as COM
pared to average American high school sem
iors. In addition, our reasoning went the
tidal wave of new students to be educated
apparently is just starting although we had
all thought it had been rather severe during
the past decade
In view of the foregoing our reasoning
went, isn't it time for the schools to take
fresh look at the twin problems of scholastic
achievement and adequate physical facilities?
And, in so doing, at least consider more eff
fective utilization of the school plant.
The reporter working up the story duti-
fully reported the reaction of some school
officials that such plan would be highly i'm
practical. Others thought it might have some
merit but that there would be numerous OBJ
stacles in the path of even beginning to exc
cute it. Such problems as paying teachers
more money, the need to air condition the
buildings for summer use, inability of some
families to take vacation as family unit
and others were cited. We submit, however
that these are hardly insurmountabe prob
lens. 1t just doesn't seem to make much
sense that these beautiful buildings we are
building at such back-breaking cost should
be so completely useless for such long period
OF each year. There must be way to use
the schools more efficiently. 1t is easy to trod
the well-worn path but to strike out boldly in
the underbrush to achieve new goals requires
little more energy and vision.

Letters
Whisky Advertising

Reference is made to a letter
published in the November 21
issue of your newspaper from
Mr.. Fred H. Grimm. Mr.. Grimm
states that the manufacture and
use of alcoholic beverages is a
force of evil, the greatest
curse" which has "crept into the
body polite" and that radio and
television broadcasts advertising
whisky, gin and vodka are fill
ing our homes.
AS to Mr.. Grimm's personal
opinions with reference to alco-
holic beverages, 1 choose to dis
agree with him, but 1 solemnly
respect, and indeed would defend
his right to entertain and ex-
press his personal opinions. l
must part company with Mr..
Grimm, however, when he parts
company with opinions and al
leges to state facts.
Whisky, gin and vodka are
not, and never have been adver-
tiSed on radio and television.
The producers of distilled spir-
its, as distinguished from beer
and wine, many years ago vol
UNFAIRLY agreed among them
selves to refrain from advertis-
ing on radio and televiSion, in
religious publications, and in
publications carrying a Sunday
date line. These restrictions
were adopted for the purpose of
avoiding offense to the sensibil-
tiles of those who share Mr..
Grimm's opinions. Perhaps they
have failed to accomplish that
purpose, but the voluntary re-
strictions are, nevertheless, adj
hered to as of this date, and
have recently been reconfirmed.
l trust that this may set the
record straight for Mr.. Grimm
insofar as radio and television
advertising of distilled spirits is
concerned, and that he will not
again be annoyed by having his
home filled with non-existent
broadcasts with reference to
whisky, gin and vodka.

employed Employables" as it developed requests
for the program Simms based his thesis on
study of So families receiving assistance from
public and private welfare agencies.
The study defined the unemployed employ
able" as "a person who in 1856 was without gain
full employment either during all or part of the
year and who at the same time was not physically
incapacitated or disabled from pursuing his usual
occupation"
The purpose of his report, which was written
under the direction of DR.. Bruce L. Melvin of
the University of Maryland sociology department,
was to show that the individual who may be out
of work becomes a liability on the community
and county in which he lives
The report pointed out that Montgomery
County is the second wealthiest county in the
United States and that "maladjusted people do
not constitute heavy drain on public welfare
funds, but through their various visits the staff
of the Community Chest noted that the heads
of certain type families We're frequently out of
work, but at the same time were capable of en-
ployment."
The population of this group, which belonged
predominantly to the unskilled labor group, was

League, Community Chest Agency During 1856
drain on the financial resources of the Social
Service League resulted in the lack of tax-sup-
ported program of public assistance to the "Un-
employed Employable." A program of rehabilta
ton for these persons was not met and the need
for one was apparent. Any aid given was that
from Y separate agencies and which also was
sought by the applicant.

AnybodY's Guess
Where Will Ri. 24O
Enter the District?

An ultra-modern, dream" highway that will
carry EastWest traffic to and from the Nations
Capital is inching toward the District Line. But
despite long - and, at times extremely bitter
controversy no one yet knows where the new
Washington National Turnpike is going to enter
Washington.
Nearby Maryland and State planners have
steered their concrete only as far as Pooks Hill
and there the adjacent twin ribbons will stop un-
til they find out which of three ways they can
go to enter the District
Meanwhile, the super-highway is pointed at
Washington like gum And decision will have
to be made by District officials soon.
Probably the most logical way, through Rock
Creek Park seems doomed. Although it would
be the cheapest and most direct route to the
District, it would have to slice through aroused
corps of nature lovers and the National Capital
Parks Service
And of course, Congress would have to pass
legislation deciding over the Federally-owned land
before a surveyors peg could be driven. Con-
greSs is acutely sensitive to voters who want to
keep parkland unsullied. .it
Another proposed route would slash through
the Bethesda business district and come out next
to Woodward & Lothrop's store at the District
line. To get there, the road alternately would
dive below street level, climb and go over some
streets and generally reduce Wisconsin avenue to
the status of a service road.
Then the road would strike out toward the
Potomac in southwesterly course.
This route, of course, must run the gauntlet
of Bethesdans who want the road but not in
their front yards >or next to their church. If
approved, the Bethesda corridor route as 1t
is called, would writhe past Our Lady of Lourdes
Catholic Church at EastWest Highway
A third route would leap southwards from
the already started Montrose interchange span
largely undeveloped ground and connect with
River Road near Cabin John. Then it would
make left turn and leapfrog down the Potomac
with River Road between its legs.
Like the Bethesda folks, River Road residents
like the idea of rapid transit but not at the ex.
pense of their high-priced property.
District hghwaymen favor the River Road
route. But the National Capital Planning Com
mission which has virtually the power of a veto
over District engineers frowns on it.
And so it goes. Everybody wants the road,
someplace else.

Quiet Satisfaction

THERE must have been many who read
with nostalgia the announcement by Civil
Defense that the Ground Observer Corps will
be placed on ready reserve" status starting
January l.
The announcement did not say so, of
course, but surely there are few who doubt
that this is the end of the Coo program that
has occupied so many hundreds of volunteer
man hours for so many years.
Human eyes in this endeavor are as OBJ
soete as battleships in the age of the sput-
mix. Electronic eyes can see so much better
and farther.
Those in Montgomery County who
manned ground observer posts over the years,
shivering in winters cold or battling sum-
mer's insects have felt little foolish at times
constantly looking skyward for enemy air.
craft that never appeared. But they must
have known that there was always chance.
And who is to say that the GOO program
was not major factor in enabling us to keep
the peace. Besides, period of quiet contem-
plation at night under the stars can never be
anything bit fruitful. We think the men,
bers of Coo should have feeling of quiet
satisfaction about the whole thing, the kind
of feeling that comes from knowing the
job has been well done.

These reasons, the Commission said, have
been fully discussed with the residents OF the
Potomac area the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, the governing
officials of Montgomery and Prince Georges
counties and the legislative delegations from both
counties
The Commission pointed out the project is of
vital importance" to the 100000 people living IN
the Sanitary district of suburban Maryland since
the plant must be in operation by 19oo 10 prevent

start Immediately if the plant is to be completed
in time the Commission emphasized
"Our studies have included thorough consid-
erations of all of the alternative sites proposed
by the opponents of the Watts Branch location"
the Commission said. GAS matter of fact, many
of these alternates had been investigated even
before they were advanced by those Directing to
the Watts Branch site"
From an engineering standpoint, the Com
mission explained the Watts Branch site is the
most desirable because it is the best place from
which to obtain water from the Potomac river
economically and efficiently
Hydraulically, the Watts Branch site is best
because it is geographically situated for filtra-
ton plant to serve efficiently not only the people
now living in the Montgomery County portion of
the sanitary district but those who will move into
the area In the years to come, the Commission
stated.
AS far as costs of the project are concerned
the Commission said the alternative sites would
load onto the taxpayers additional expenses rang
ing from So million to $40 million.
For example the Commission said, the pro-
posed Great Falls site, if selected, would result
in an increased construction cost of nearly
100000; interest on the bonds issued to pay for
this additional cost of nearly 100000, and SIT
million in extra cost for pumping, thus making
total cost for the Great Falls site nearly So million.
The fourth factor, the proposed River Bend
DAM also is extremely important, the Commission
said.
"If the dam is built, as expect it to be-"
the commission asserted, 'it would enable us to
obtain water from the Potomac with a minimum
of pumping costs because the plant would be
Immediately adjacent to the water reservoir. 1t
also would improve the quality of the water. But
even if it is not built, we are still way ahead
because of the other factors"
The Commission took sharp issue with those
who contend that the plant would injure property
value in the Watts Branch area.
"Such charge" the Commission insisted, "s
completely without foundation. We have consist
emily promised to design the exterior of the plant
and landscape the surrounding area in such
manner that the project would be attractive and
in harmony with the area.

Here's Book On How
To Enter Politics

Of particular interest now that political ac-
tivity in Montgomery County is on the upswing
is the publication of a new book Going Into
Politics" by Robert E. Merriam of Bethesda and
Rachel M. Goetz. Harper is the publisher and
the book sells for $3.50.
This doityourself guide is unusual not only
in that it was written by man and woman team,
but also because the writers are of separate poiti
cal persuasion Merriam is Republican and Mrs.
Goetz is Democrat
Merriam writes in vigorous style of his ex-
periences as a campaigner for office in Chicago.
He twice successfully for alderman and once
unsuccessfuly for Mayor Mrs. Goetz the "ama-
teur' of the team, participated as a volunteer in
four aldermanc, one mayorial two senatorial
one gubernatorial, one presidential and assorted
minor campaigns.
Merriam is an assistant director of the Blu
reau of the Budget in Washington
The book tells of civic campaigns not unlike
the Montgomery County charter fight in the
1940s and the Citizens for Good Government drive
that seated the present Rockville city admins.
tration.
Its theme is that Democracy has to be worked
at. Its purpose is to help the reader find niche
in what the authors term "The most rewarding
the most Elusive most demanding business in the
world: the business of being an American citizen"
The book takes the reader through the maze
of political action One of its most interesting
chapters is one on the political machine, its good
and bad points.
The authors don't pull their punches They
strip the subterfuge from political patronage and
leave it nude. They explain how the Civil Service

after their election in 1852, saw to it that fewer
than 5000 Federal jobs changed hands because of

Despite the advances in television, radio and
the press the authors point out there is no sub
stitute for person-to-person contacts
Particularly timely is a chapter titled 1.-THE
Party Caucus" 1t discusses the CLOSED door"
policies preferred by those who would control the
party in the nominating stage and the wideopen
patry nomination of candidates.
Altogether the book is an ideal primer for
the novitiate and refreshing ventilating breeze
blowing through the traditional back.room and
cloakroom brand of politics
