County Comment
School Election
Results Visible

The significance of the election triumph of
school board liberals has not been long in
emerging.
Take, for example, the size of that capital
budget - whopping $17.7 million = proposed
by School Superintendent C. Taylor Whittier.
Now, Whittier makes a strong argument
for the contention that every single item in
his recommendation is urgently needed, and
that delay would only make it even more
costly later.
We don't necessarily deny his reasoning
Nevertheless, we dare say the superintendent
would have discovered at least few expendable
projects if he had had to submit his budget to
board composed of Wylie Barrow and the other
conservative also-ranS
There are two other current developments
which point up the longrange significance of
the ballotng. These involve ntegration and spe-
cial classes for handicapped children
BY the time this appears Whittier will have
handed the board his formal plan for completing
lntegration in all county schools. For the first
time, the county will have an integration blue
print, spelling out many of the hows and whens
that until now have remained uncertain
Probably such cIear-cut direction would

Report Cord'

Congratulations on your
School Report Card" Supple
ment. Publication of this kind
of information on our schools is
a distinct public service.
One of the advantages of a non-
partisan school board election
such as that just concluded is
that it whets the interest in, and
increases responsibility for, our
schools, on the part of citizens.
Our newly elected board got
elected by earnestly appearing
before and talking with thousands
of citizens about our schools. 1t
contains fine array of talent
and will, without doubt, consci-
entiously strive to represent all
the people as it undertakes to
give US better schools.
All that is fine, but our citizens
score card is not so good as it
should be. Only $4,000 out of
81,500 voting in the election ex.
pressed preference for school
board candidates. Far too many
of us have only vague ideas about
what actually goes on in our
schools. One has to talk to chill
dren as well as with teachers,
and one has to visit schools in
session as well as read budgets
and a lot of other material, TO
really understand the biggest and
most exciting business in Mont.
gomery County ~ our public
schools.
So, no matter how good our
school board may be, in the end
it can give us nothing better than
we, the citizens, understand and
want. Let's have many more
report cards" that will help us
as citizens and voters do OUR
homework.

Open Letter
Dear Dad:

Dear Dad:
Tonight, you almost lost your
son. 1t would have been an acci-
dent, tragic for both you and me.
Some people might have called it
unavoidable" had it happened.
1t wouldn't have been unavoid-
able at all. l was driving home
from work, down street in a
home section of Rockville. 1t was
already dark. Suddenly, your boy,
riding a bike, swung into my
path from the edge of the street,
where he had been invisible in
the shadows. For a moment, we
were both pretty scared - and
both lucky. 1 avoided him, and
he swerved back out of the street.
1 stopped to warn him about
carrying a light, but he was gone.
If he'd had light, or even re-
flector, I'd have seen him a block
away, and would have been more
prepared to react to the vagaries
of small boy riding bike. Dad,
you can buy light for a dollar
or less, lots of places. Reflectors,
very fancy to plain, cost from
49 cents down to 7 cents. For
only % cents, you could put a
reflector on the back, front, and
both sides of that bike.
l suppose he came home a lit
tie later dumped his bike in the
yard, and came in to say Hi,
dad" Maybe you said Hi, son,
how are you?" Because he was
lucky, and l was lucky, your boy
was fine. It's a shame to depend
on lucky. Why don't you do some
thing to make that bike safe,
now.

Perhaps the fly-ridden store so
dear to the heart of your edi-

that. l have never been there.
The closest I've been is Piraeus.

Negro schools, for example, are intended for con-

Training and rehabitating these children
who suffer various physical, mental and emo

A conservative estimate puts the cost at about
double that of educating the normal" child.
Right now, the system has special classes
for some 500, or less than One-third of those
who presumably could benefit from the extra
care.
But Whitters recommendations make it
abundantly clear that he would like to see the
program expanded to handle all of the hand
capped.
The philosophy that such a child is more
properly the responsibility of the family than of
the school would likely have swung far more
weight on conservative dominated board
But as things stand now, Whittier is apparent.

Suburbio Boner

Your editorial on suburbia,
though accurate in the most part,
falls into the usual error of por-
traying Greece, and her butcher
shops, as a fly's paradise where
emaciated citizens scramble for
dried-up pieces of horsemeat.
/ would point out that even in
the smaller towns in Greece, and
other old-world countries that
hygiene is fairly well enforced,
and that there are stores which
are indistinguishable from those
in the U. S. A. Some of them
even have whole glass in the
windows.
That American picture of
Europe and Asia as a bowling
wasteland where barefoot chill
dren howl hungrily from caves
is slightly outdated; in Greece,
Spartan boys no longer run
around with live foxes under
their shirts, but get their kicks

Now that the Labor Day holi-
day is over and the children are
in school our thoughts turn to-
wards the Christmas season.
Let us stop and think about the
Christmas cards we shall send to
our friends. I'm not in the sell
ing business nor do l have any
friends who are. The only thing
l am concerned about is that we
do not lose the spiritual signifi-
canoe of Christmas. And to lose
it is very easy in view of this
mad commercialiZation of the sea-
son. May we all resolve to send
only such cards as relate to the
spiritual significance of the sea.

full than the Nativity cards. And
how the children love them!

quency. And ]. Edgar Hoover
says, To-day, more than ever be-
fore, we need to bring young peo-
pie closer to the Bible and the
eternal lessons it teaches" Reli-
gious Christmas cards going out
of the home and coming into it
will help to do just that.
Sometime in March l called the
buyers of Christmas cards for
two of our Washington large de-
partment stores and asked them
if they could give me the per-
cent of religious cards sold this
Christmas over the previous one.
They told me that they could
not give me the percent; but that
I'VE sold very many more than in
any previous year."
They will try to give us what
we ask for. So let us ask. Then
all will know that we are on the
Lords side and have not for
gotten whose birthday we are
celebrating.

Acc Crisis


THERE is growing concern over the way
the Atomic Energy Commission is being
treated by the elected heads of Montgomery
County. Before the impression spreads too
far that hot dog stands, jai alai joints and
honky tonks line the path to the beautiful
Acc building at Germantown, let's look at
the facts.
The Acc, after only token check with
local officials, settled on a tract lying on
the southwest corner of the new Washing
ton-National Turnpike for its new $13.3 mil
lion home. Work was launched and Acc set
about the business of relocating from down.
town - either obliviouS or unaware of what
pitfalls might await therrsas far as future
neighborS were concerned.
Then along came the so-called Pomeroy
and Muncy reports which were concerned
with where industrial sites should be located
in the county. Both of these studies which
were conducted at considerable cost to the
county recommended industrial tracts in the
near-vicinity of Acc. The idea in part, was
to have sort of science city, there with
the Acc serving as nucleus. And all along
all of the responsible parties have thought
exclusively in terms of so-called garden type
(or light industry of the same type as Vitro
Corp. in Silver Spring which, if anything,
enhances rather than detracts from the land
Scape and the community.
Both the Pomeroy and Muncy reports
were widely publicized and it is difficult to
understand why the Acc remained silent aft
er the reports came out in view of its present
objections to having industrial-type neigh
bors
Also it is difficult to see why - if the
Acc wanted such exclusiveness - more land
was not acquired at the time of the original
purchase. 1t is hard to keep from coming
to the conclusion that up to this point the
Acc has been somewhat naive and, certainly
a trifle aloof in its dealings with the county
government on which it must, after all, de-
pend for friendly zoning treatment
At issue in the whole dispute is the fact
that the Council has already rezoned 1O2
acres to light industrial across the road from
Acc. Defenders of the Council action. how
ever, contend that the property owner = in
order to win the rezoning = voluntarily put
SO many covenants in the deed to his prop
erty to insure that only high-type light in
dustry would settle there, that even the Acc
building couldn't qualify under them.
On the other side of the coin, however
Is the undeniable fact that until the county
adopts adequate safeguards in the form of
industrial standards and sets up the proposed
new zoning category for light industry of
the Vitro type, the Acc is more than JUS
tlfled IN viewing the current situation with
alarm.
The County Council should act soon to
fhpc0 oYrJci int
would think, should go long way toward
quieting Aces fears
Meanwhile, the stakes are high and an
early meeting, as has been suggested else
where in this issue in news story, is GER
talnly much needed between the Acc and
County Council principals. If the right steps
are taken soon, the whole dispute would
quiet down and the governments future dis
