Have the parents defauted altogether? Or
are today's schools poking around in areas where
they have no business?

published an eighth grade book but in Mont

days when the child brings this book home de-
scribing it as his or her history" book. Why
history? The educators are leaving themselves
wide open on this one.
It's easy thing to do to take some of the
textbooks subjects out of context, or simply list
them scathngly and derisively, for example:
"What Can You Do About Bad Breath?" or Teen
age Skin Troubles or "Eow to Act on Date"
A bitter foe of the school system can have
field day with such subjects why he can
ask in voice trembling with righteous indigna

a foe can ask scathingly and with telling effect
The school system should not call such

I T'S just barely possible that there may be
little insincerity in the statements of
Candidate-for-G Governor j. Millard Tawes
when he talks about S400 teacher salary
increase and the general tax picture
1t is not entirely new in the political
arena and perhaps this sort of thing is hardly
deserving of comment because it is so COM
monplace. Nevertheless, some are going to
find it hard to swallow Mr.. Tawes' bald as
sertion that he would support a $400 teach
ers' pay hike next year. And then in the
next breath say there will be no need for
a tax increase during 1958-59. Maybe the
gentlemen has figured out how to, add apples
and oranges, tool
It's pretty common knowledge that last
years $400 teacher pay hike caused quite
stir. The Governor vetoed it, the General
Assembly overrode his veto and because It
was finally approved the income tax AND
the sales tax had to be jumped so percent
Mr.. Tawes could well pause moment and
explain to the voters how he hopes to achieve
his feat of fiscal legerdemain.

Montgomery County, however, never has been

comes as a surprise, therefore, to good many
County voters to learn Big Labor is stalking the
local precincts Two cases in point are Labor's
financial support of Democratic congressional
candidate John Foley and the Bozell affair Coun-
ty voters have way of wanting their officials
to represent them fulltime. Big Labor does not

Yeomun Work

For years past volunteer work
ers from civic organizations and
both political parties in Mont
gomery County have done yeo-
man work bringing home to our
more lethargic citizens the need
TO register so that they can exer-
else their right TO vote-the price
less heritage of every American.
Only recently, however, does
this campaign seem to have pro-
duced candidates for office as
well as neophyte voters. Thanks
to Mrs. Stella Werner's talk to
the Fort Sumter Women's Demo
cratic Club, we are now aware
that Jay Conger, Republican can
didate for County Council, filed
for the COP nomination the very
same day he registered to vote.
Brent Bozell, COP candidate for
the House of Delegates, was a
bit slower off the mark - he
waited a full IL days after reg
istering before he threw hit hat

My little boy has been suffer

ma, and only this has prevented
my replying to the editorial "Can-
eel Rodeo?" which appeared in
your September 18th edition. The
view expressed was that 1--WE"
saw the entire County Fair rodeo
at Gaithersburg, "and our only
reaction was that we enjoyed it.
So did our family" And 1--WE"
suggest that Fair officials get a
good, respectable rodeo for next
year.
Well, 1t is quite true that if
editorial 1--WE" sat in the pop
corn stands, under the blare of
the loud speaker and canned cow
boy music, 1--WE" wouldn't see any
of the abuses which the vocal

Editorial 'We" and most other
people too would have seen the
waving flags, the cowgirls with
long tresses tossing up and down
on their shoulders as they rode,
the spurt of action as the buck
ing horse came forth with cow

of the untamed West! Some spec
tators walked behind the corrals
and saw the bleeding horses aft
erwards, but most people did not.
I suspect that "We" of editorial
opinion did not. While the forma-
tion riding in the rodeo was col
orful and good, does 'We" of
editorial opinion still wish to go
on record as enjoying the sight of
the clown sitting on the tied calf,
twisting its ears and tail?
No effort has been made by

who protest the rodeo, to in any
way impugn the good faith and
good intentions of the Montgom-

whole, the Fair was really a won.

Labor's S Big Foot

Size of the big foot which Big Labor has
stepped into Montgomery Countys current pot-

time. After election, when candidates and parties
file statements of contributions and expenditures
it will be possible to reach reasonable estimate
of the size of the check picked up in behalf of

of the whole foot

Labor to mix into Montgomery's political
stew Is not under discussion here. What is
Under discussion are the sinister implications
and muddy undercurrents generated and

gets out that Big Labor has more than pass

Doesn't it make sense for the liberals to
get together and say to the voters we are
running as a group; elect us if you want

it be sensible for the conservatives to get
together and say they strongly disagree with
present (liberal) school board policies and
promise the voters they'll change things
drastically if elected?
There has been lot of talk from some

there should be many changes made. If the
