BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN

The Montgomery County
School Boards practice of
charging community groups for
the use of school facilities has
been ruled illegal in an opinion
of the Maryland attorney gen.
eral.
The opinion, released yes
terday, says that school author
tiles must permit the free use
of the buildings and grounds
by community groups for the
discussion of public questions
or for other civic, social or rec
reational activities"
The question was raised by
the Damascus Volunteer Fire
Department, which received a
bill for $3.50 for the use last
October of the Damascus High
School for its annual dinner.
DR.. David w. Zimmerman
Maryland assistant State school
superintendent. said copies OF
the opinion have gone out to
all county superintendents ad-
vising them that under present
laws they cannot charge for
the use of school facilities by
community groups.
Long in Controversy
The fee system in Mont
gQmery County has been a
subject of controversy for sew
eral months. The fees in the
past have been sharply criti-
cized by various groups.
Under regulations adopted
last August IA. the Montgomery
board charged for custodial
services and for heat, light and
power in some cases. The fees
ranged from So to $25 for four
hours.
The Damascus fight was
carried to the State level by
Attorney Clark F. King. district
corporation counsel and a Da-
mascus resident.
The Montgomery board esti-
mated the fees would have
brought in some $4,000 to $780,
900 next year.

attorney generals opinion pro-
videS that free use must be
granted to any group of IS citi-
zens of the school district which

pended sentence in Municipal
Court on the threats charge

Mr.. Dunn said customer de-

THE ever increasing use of

The company said the new
station is designed to burn coal.
The first unit will require ap-
proximately so tons of coal an

Time To DO-H- Yourself

It's human nature, we rationalize, to put
things off. Thus, many of us feel that "someday"
we will read that good book fix the lock on
the garage door or some such other tomorrow is
another day occupation.
BY this same token we In the United States
must be planning on giving something to the
work of the Missions "someday."
It's for sure we haven't done it yet.
Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, national director
Of the Propagation Of the Faith, says that last
year the average mission donation per Catholic
was thirty cents.
How disheartening this must be to the mis-
sionary who has sacrificed his life to bring
Christ's Teaching to the non-Catholic both in
the United States and abroad.
Here we are the richest, most prosperous
country in the world and all that we can sacri-
flee to spread the Faith Is 80 cents per year.
This Sunday is Mission Sunday. A special col
lection will be taken up for all the missions
of the world, to be distributed by the Holy
Father.

A donation isn't sufficient.
Monsignor James Kulp, diocesan director of
the Propagation of the Faith says that Sacrifice
the self-denial of some luxury III order to
announce the truth and charity Of Christ" is
what is wanted.
In other words it's not really so important
that you give a dollar or five hundred dollars
just so whatever you give represents a real self
denial on your part.
To some it may mean only the foregoing that
extra pack of cigarettes, that case OF beer or
some such other refreshment.
To others. it may mean that "cute little hat"
that they've been saving their egg money for
and to still some others it may mean not buying
that second or third family car this year.
Thus the donation, when it is also a sacri-
flee, becomes not only a material means to
further the work of the missionary but also a
meaningful prayer which must truly reach the
heart of the most callous non-believer, through
the grace of God.

In previous generations the
immigrant worker nurtured an
old world culture in the Little
Italics, the Hamtramacks, the
halls that served a German
brew to its own, the Chinese
Villages, the Corktowns, and
other quarters that have made
an immense cultural contribu-
ton to American life. The slow

the rush to the suburbs have
taken something rich and fruit
full and left a vacuum that

Need For Education
A labor union can only pro-
vide the time and encourage

educational program on all
levels to create a taste for the
good and the beautiful. Par
ents should have the oppor-
tunity to 60 back to school to
fill the cultural gaps in their
bread and butter education. II

crusade against dirty comic
books, but it takes generations
to restore the arts to their de-
served esteem.

corner talking to a newsstand

would never sell one of those
dirty magazines to a high
school boy. ! would never sell
one while a woman is around.
If a factory worker wants to
buy one, okey. He has to read
something" Will the worker of
tomorrow choose real art or the
filthy comic book? I have great
confidence in the American
people to adapt themselves to
new situations. AS the years

more working people "over

ularization of the day is on the
increase"
The ST. Paul prslafs observed
that besides the open violation
Of Sunday traditions by the
money-ehsngers, other subtle
(svhtrscfions from the Sunday
observance have been creeping
in. He said there Is a growing
tendency" to turn churches in
to social agencies, and ITO use
puIpits to beat the drums for
whatever propaganda Is being
promoted"
"In these past years." the
Archbishop said, "even certain
governmental agencies have
solicited the use of our Sunday
pulpits to promote Navy Day,
Civil Defense, Mental Health
programs and other like topics,
all of which no doubt are very
good in themselves, but none
belong to the worship of God"
He said that such announce
ments as parish dinners, basket
socials, changes in dates of par
ish meetings and "such trivia"
shorten the time for reading the
Gospel and for the sermon.
The st. Paul prelate declared
