The Dean Retires

The estimate which wilhelm
Munthe de Morgenstierne has formed Of
this country during nearly half CEN
fury Of diplomatic service here is one
that might well become text for all
Americans. Never lose faith in the
United States" he told a news confer
ence after making his farewell call, as
Norwegian Ambassador, upon President
Eisenhower. With the beginning Of this
new year, the 70-year-old dean Of the
diplomatic corps in this city retired from
his country's foreign service.
To WaShingtonians, Mr.. Morgensti-
erne has been one of us since he became
chief OF his countrys mission here in
1884. Even before then he had served
in our country and his affection for, as
well as his faith in the United States
has been no secret among his wide circle
Of friends and colleagues When the
Ambassador described our country as
his second home" 1t was term full
OF genuine meaning In his wide in
terest in history, the history Of the
United States held particular fascina-
ton for him and he has become quail
fled as an authority on our Civil War
period. Regret at his retirement is off,
set In large measure by the knowledge
that he intends to maintain residence
in Washington. We hope he will live
happily among us for long time.

shopping centers and other industry.
The rural setting became highly urban
tied. The town was called upon to
supply water to some OF these develop
ments and there were demands for
sanitation and other services, The con-
troversial annexation move was decided
on In the belief that the whole area
would benefit from consolidation.
So. by court order Of October 10 last.
Leesburg today burgeoned from town
Of 500 acres to one Of more than 1000
acres, The population yesterday was an
estimated 1900. Today 1t is about 2.S00.
A planning consultant has predicted a
population Of 5000 by 1870 Thus, 1t Is
clear that Loudoun County's seat Of
government definitely has caught the
growing pains which have affected so
many other parts of Northern Virginia.
We hope Leesburg will lose none Of It's
charm in the metamorphosis.

Count the BLESSINGS

It Is easy enough. as 1857 vapishes
behind the curtains of time, to wiring
our hands and say that each new year
becomes harder, more disheartening,
than the one before. And in sense
this may be true.
Certainly, 1857 brought its share
Of disappointments and bequeathed its
legacy Of problems left unsolved. The
negotiators. cropping like opposing
armies In the dark, made no progress
toward their goal of arms reduction
to say nothing of just and stable
peace. Men still live and 60 about their
daily pursuits in the shadow Of an un-
believably destructive war. High above
US two man-made, two Russian made,
satellites whirl through their orbits IN
space. Whatever these may portend in
the way Of new perils. they have already
laid low one legend-our fondly held
belief in the Incompatible superiority
Of American technology. The satellites
have taught US, or should have taught
US, that the peasant land OF three
decades ago has emerged from the
shadows and is bidding, as truly for
midable rival. for the center Of the
stage. This warns us, or should warn
US. that, given the world as 1t is, we
dare not neglect our defenses.
Then we have had our troubles at
home-Little Rock. more or less nor
NAL dose of political squabbling, an
ailing President and slump In en-
ployment-to mention a few. Across
the seas we have witnessed weakening
Of the positions of power with which we
had hoped to reinforce our security.
And in the so-called uncommitted lands
the tide has seemed to turn against the
West as one nation after another. fred
with new sense of nationalism, has
sought its place in the sun.
Still, when the full roll Of diScour-
agements has been called, many bless
iigs remain to be counted. And first
among these is the fact that the world
still enjoys peace, troubled peace, but
still peace. The threat OF war persists.
but 1t has not materialized into the
holocaust which would reduce our civili-
Zation to a cinder And there is grow
ing awareness, or so 1t seems to us. that
the diplomatic procedures Of the past,
q past in which war has come as the
inevitable sequel to the failures Of
diplomacy, will not do in the future.
The world and It's people must find, and
we believe will find, new and better
ways.
In this respect the year which be-
gins today is year Of hope and oppor-
tunity. And this, in itself, is blessing.
But opportunity, standing alone, is not
enough. Opportunity must be seized
and acted upon. If mankind will do
this in 1858. II even a little progress can
be made. the new year will bring US a
very great blessing indeed.

Leesburo Expands

With the advent Of the New Year,
historic Leesburg, in nearby Loudoun
County. suddenly has discarded its old
boundaries and assumed the role Of
big Northern Virginia town-seven times
It's 1857 size. 1t was an expansion APP
proved by special annexation court
In consideration of the venerable towns

the town will continue to cling TO its
colorful traditions, dating back to colo
NAL days. 1t will preserve its old build
ings for sentimental reasons, while pro-
viding expanded, modern public services
to all within its new boundaries.
Leesburg, until recent years, had
been content to stay as 1t was after It's
first annexation of territory. nearly half
a century ago. The 1850 census, in fact,
reported ten-year gain in population
of one person. Meanwhile, old-timers
organized a historic society, Colonial
Leesburg, dedicated to the preservation
of the towns more famous buildings.
The courthouse square has changed
little In appearance from early days.
It was in a building on the site of the
present courthouse that President Mad
ison and some of his aides stored tempo
rarily several wagon loads Of Govern
ment documents which they had
brought from Washington. then burning
under British torches. Thus, for brief
period in 1914. Leesburg served as the
Nations Capital" Later, during the
Civil War, Leesburg was the center OF
operations for Mosby's Rangers, the
Confederate guerrillas who harassed the
Union forces around Washington.
The historic associations and pic
turesqueness OF the town helped to bring
upon It, however, the growth which
many of It's residents never really
wanted. Residential subdivisions we're
developed on It's outskirts. along with
