Decision
Delayed

Rockville's Mayor and Coun-
ellis decision on whether to pave
and open Beall Avenue to North
Washington Street has been
postponed until May 81.
The delay is necessary to give
the staff time for a study of the
land situation involved in open
ing the street and also to give
the business community a chance
to be heard.
One Rockville businessman,
Joseph Berlin, told the council
that he had already been given
a loan to construct a building at
that point and a hotel close by
on the assumption that the
street would be opened. Money
for the project is included in the
present budget.
Councilman Alexander Greene
opposed an indefinite delay on
the project because rising land
prices in the area make it in
creasingly more expensive.
Beall Avenue residents last
week turned out in full force to
oppose the opening of the street.
They argued that as a through
street Beall Avenue traffic would
endanger the children in the
area and depreciate property
values.

Between 20 and 80 bad
checks a day were bouncing
around the county's division
of revenue and disbursements
last year during the last 10
days of selling auto tags for
the state.
The reason: as the midnight
March 81 deadline approached,
persons with slight or nom
existent balances in their check
ing accounts figured they'd
rather bounce a check than ride
around with dead tags on their
cars.
So they wrote out bum checks
and the county for the next six
month sweated out trying to get
in touch with all of them to tell
them to make good the loss.
Losses in all but five cases were
finally recovered and these were
turned over to the Department
of Motor Vehicles.
Unwilling to go through the
same routine this year, the coun-
ty set up new ground rules: after
March 20 when people start
getting panicky) you bring cash

Twinbrook Citizens Associ-

branch library tonight before
the County Council armed
with two concrete offers of
support from Rockville's May

Tuesday night the city officials
voted to donate $4,000 to the
county for either site purchase

Twinbrook.

erty on the Southeast corner of
Viers Mill and Atlantic Avenue,
the Mayor and Council also said
it was willing to donate all or
part of an adjacent strip owned
by the city.
AT tonights public hearing at
Richard Montgomery High at 8
O'Clock, Tea representatives win
ask the Council to change the
county managers proposal of a
branch library in rented quarters
in the Twinbrook Shopping Cen
ter to a permanent building on
the site across Atlantic Avenue
from the Center.
The $4,000 offered has been in
the Rockville budget for improve
ment of library services in the
city since last year when the
Rockville Public Library became
part of the county system.
In its letter of offer to the
County Council, the Mayor and
Council made 1t clear that the
money is to be used for add.
tionaI library service within the
city and not as a substitute for
the present library in the West

to ask the County Council to re-
store $4,000 for teacher pay
raises and $4,000 for a curri-

Instead, the group voted con

recommendations. However, it
added a provision that the School
Board be given freedom to real.

budget allotment for $500 "sal-
airy allowance" for the county's
most experienced teachers.
In place of the money, the P-TA

For six long days my wife,

Slow Indignation
To Be Continued
Bid to Speed
Program Lost
By Mrs. Kramer
BY Dorothy Waleski
staff Reporter


School Board discussion
Monday of next years inte-
grafton plans erupted into
bitter criticism by Mrs. Rose
Kramer of some of her fellow
board members ''maneu-
VerS."
Calling them IAN attempt to
have Indignation take 20 years"
Mrs. Kramer described as legal
ly and morally wrong" ''ridic-
ulous" and Inconsistent Board
Members Wylie Barrow and Har-
rison Kings logged insistence on
keeping Negro children from be-
ing assigned to white elementary
schools.
Barrow and King with the sup
rert of Wayne Birdsell and Viii
lard McGraw finally won their
point in spite of Mrs. Kramer's
reading of the Supreme Court
decision of 1854 that separate
educational facilities are in
herently unequal"
AS finally passed, the policy
for next year will continue this
years program of letting Negro
children apply for transfer to the
schools nearest their homes
where space and transportation
are available. This applies to
some 1900 children in the four
upcounty Negro elementaries,
Taylor, Longview, Sandy Spring
and Rock Terrace.
May Change Mind
Continued also is the policy of
letting the children who transfer
return to the Negro school at any
time with the approval of the
parents and the superintendent.
First Barrow's and then Kings
attempt to remove the superin-
tendent's authority over the
transfers was given no support
by the rest of the board.
On the secondary level, the
board agreed to the desegrega-
ton committees plan to assign
about 200 students to white
schools because of the closing of
Lincoln Junior High and the
academic program at Carver
Senior High, both Negro schools.
The remaining 500 secondary
students will be assigned to their
home district where space and
program allow. These students,
however, will be allowed to re-
main at Carver if transportation
is available.
Cites Old Policy
/, Pointing out that voluntary
4tegration" has been ruled UNI
Constitutional, Mrs. Kramer said
chat giving the choice of transfer
to Negro children contradicts a
long-established policy of assign
ing children to the school nearest
their home.
She cited the overcrowded Tay-
lor School as an example of a
bad educational situation if too
many Negro children are al
lowed to remain"
Chairman Fred L. Dunn, Jr.,
of the desegregation committee,
supported her argument that
allowing Negro children a choice
of schools slowed down integra-
ton.
Only one-third of the Negro
children who could have inte-
grated last year did, said Dunn.
Out of the 5000 Negro students
in the county only 1000 are now
in integrated schools.

full floral display each spring.
However. 1t requires a strong
framework to carry 1t. One
device should never be omitted
in preparing a support for the
Wisteria-raiSe the trunk sew
eral inches above the sup
porting frame. The writer neg
lected this with his first Wis
terra and the growing vine
exerted so much pressure that
it broke a 2x12 that was set on
edge. A light framework
erected on top of the permanent
frame would have allowed
plenty of contraction without
damaging the supporting frame.
Wisterias need q bit of summer
pruning to encourage the
formation of flower buds.
hence If trained where they
cannot be reached easily this
care may not be feasible.
The trumpet creeper Is q
fairly strong grower and be-
cause Of its SNOWY orange scar
let flowers is often given a
prominent location. Such sites
are best located Just beyond a
walk or terrace so that the
fallen blooms which are soft

tive fruited vines Ia known AZ
the Porcelain vine-tAmpe-
lopsls), and then there are the
ever useful grapevines both
those that produce useful
fruits and those that are
grown for their ornamental
foliage. The fruiting kinds
really do better when trained
horizontally &C q moderate
height so that the fruits may
be bagged-to protect the fruit
from insects and 10 prevent the
fruit from attracting all man
ner OF bees and wasps. Mote:
The bags are put around the
clusters while the fruits are
quite small,)
Many Attractive Flowers
Many OF the vines have most
attractive flowers - mention
has been made 10 the Wisteria,
the trumpet vine. and the cle-
mats. Most OF these are well
known although few people at
tain the success they wish with
the clematis-it needs q mod
erately sweet soil and q cool
root run. The fall blooming Gle
mats, c. panniculata and G.
Virginiana are most tolerant Of
soil conditions and are more
frequently run in local gardens
than the large lowered snowy
species that flower In the sum-
mer. Another snowy climber
that is OF easy culture and per-
fectly hardy is the climbing n.y.
drangea. In Its native heath
Northern Japan. 1t grows on
the trees In the forest. Here we
plant 1t in a shady situation or
where 1t receives the morning
sun only. This species. H pc
tiolaris. may be confused with
the Schizopragma hydran-
goodies which Is also referred
to as a climbing hydrangea.
The latter has shower flowers
but Is not as prolific q bloomes.
These are only a few Of the
hardy woody vines available to
Washington gardeners. They
are. however. dependable and
not unduly troubled with In
sects or diseases. The faults.
II any, have been mentioned.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-04-25

full if given some sort Of sup
port. Nearly every one likes to
have shade and one way to
provide it long before tree
could grow to useful size is to
erect some form Of support and
cover it with vine. Many peo-
pie grow climbing roses because
they can cover a considerable
area. provide attractive bloom
and at the same time screen
out an undesirable view or pro-
vide privacy.
Several years ago a friend
bought awnings for his porch
only to discover that they shut
out the cooling breezes from
the South. A trellis was erected
and within two years was well
covered by a climbing rose that
not only shut out the summer
sun but let in all the breeze
while providing a grand dis
play of flowers.
There are a great many
woody plants thus suitable.
Some cling to walls by roots or
suction tip. such as the English
ivy, the Virginia creeper with
dish-like tips. etc.
Then there are the twiners
that wrap themselves around
any sort Of a suppoft-the Wis.,
terra. BitterSweet, ETC., and
those that have tendrils which
reach out and coil around a
support.
Examples Of this type of
climber are the Porcelain vine,
virginsbower (clematic), and
the ornamental grapes.
This is something to consider
in selecting a climber since it
determines the type of support
needed for them. The roses. OF
course. have to be tied to the
support since they do not have
any Of these natural devices
for attaching themselves.
Growth Habits Vary
The growth habit of the
woody climbers varies consid-
erably from that of the clematis
which seldom exceeds 8 or 10
feet in height unless 1t is
given an opportunity of climb
ing a tree and then it will
stretch rapidly up to sunlight.
The rampant growing Kudzu
vine which is to be seen as a
ground cover on the highways
leading to the Bay, can smother
a large tree if allowed to climb
uncontrolled.
There are few places where
1t is useful in the small yard
40 to so feet of new growth in a
season is much more space than
can be devoted to a single
climber.
The familiar Bittersweet is
another aggressive climber that
spreads both by seeds and by
underground roots. Moreover.
it is necessary to have two vines,
a male and a female, II the
berries for which it is COM
monty grown are to be had.
Unless carefully controlled it
can be a pest apd ruin trees
into which it Just loves to
climb. Fortunately. a 24-D-
fuel oil mixture kills both the
top and the roots.
The Wisteria is also q strong
grower and produces a beauti-
