Mrs. Frank Cush wouldn't
have given a plugged nickel for
her chances In the Maryland
State women's championship
after the qualifying round and
the first round Of match play,
but thanks to a special lesson
Tuesday night, she found out
what was wrong and today she
was in the finals against Mrs.
Joseph Singhass of All View at
Norbeck Country Club.
Mrs. Cush qualified with a
disappointing "a last Monday.
She was only a stroke better on
Tuesday as she won a match,
2 and /, that she figured to
win much more handily. She
was slicing every iron shot, and
her shots were missing the
greens just enough to hit on the
baked fairways and take off.
In desperation. Mrs. Cush
telephoned Congressional and
asked for a lessen from Charley
Easton, who had been teaching
her before he joined the pro
staff there. Mrs. CuSh told
Easton was on the lesson tee,
and would be there until 8 pm.
She took a chance and drove
to Congressional, arriving after
8 o'clock just as a weary Easton
was ending a full day Of giving
instructions. In less than Is
minutes he cured Mrs. Cush's
slice. The next day she shot a
10 against Mrs. Claude Rich
ards.
Yesterday Mrs. Cush played
the tournaments best golf and
defeated the favorite. Jane
Schiller of Salisbury, 2 and 1.
The Argyle player had a 76
without a slice, Miss Schiller a
70.
Mrs. Singhass, the former
Mary Anne MusSer, daughter
Of the All View pro. had three
beautifully-played brides on
the back nine as she defeated
Barbara Diggs Of Manor, 3 and
2, in yesterdays other semi
final.
Mrs. SinghaSS, the 20-year-
old Baltimore city champion,
will be making her first appear
ance in the State finals. 1t will
be the third for Mrs. Cush, who
in a series Of upsetS reached the
finals in 1858, the first year
she played championship flight
golf. She lost to Mrs. Maurice
Click of Baltimore, but won the
title in 1856. She was District
champion last year.
Mrs. SinghaSs, who was ex-
tended the first time in the
match play rounds, was one ur
at the ninth. and then she ram
med in birdie puts on IL, IA
and is. The girls were about
evenly matched from tee to

Questions ANSWERED

Superintendent of Schools c. Taylor Whittier has
proposed 12-month school program that has been
approved in principle by the county school board. To
go into effect the plan must yet receive approval of
the County Council for the expenditure of the neces-
sary funds.
Meanwhile, parents have expressed some confu-
sion about the way the program would work. Accord
ingly the Sentinel here presents the most common
questions being asked by parents as answered by MEM
bers of DR.. Whittier's staff:

both for pupils and for teachers.
What age groups grades would be involved?

dergarten and first grade

nservice training features for teachers in the sum-
mer, such advanced study workshops and research
projects Second it would increase the number of SUBJ
jects and courses available to children who want to
attend school during the summer.
Will I have to pay tuition IL my child attends sum-
mer school?
Yes. Fees will be the same as they have been for
summer school in the past. These range for most
subjects from $23 to $35 course
As result of this program, would my child be
able to take that not now offered in the
regular school year?

ment courses covering topics that in addition TO-
different than, those in the regular curriculum

School Bus
Policy Hit
As Rigid
Morrow Calls
Regulation
Too Strict
By Bob Bernstein
Staff Reporter

A school board member
expressed the fear this week
that the county's school bus
transportation policy has be-
come very rigid and arbi-
trary."
The board member, Robert E
Morrow, raised the issue in light
of complaints from parents in
some areas, particularly Kemp
Mill Estates, because their chill
dren are BEND denied bus serv.
ice.
Some Sligo High School stu.
dents have been refused trans.
portation because the walking
distance to the school from their
homes is just 20 feet under the
two-mile maximum set by cur.
rent policy, according to the
parents.
Morrow said he sees no rea-
son why the policy should be fol.
lowed that closely. But his argu.
ments found little sympathy
among other board members or
school administrators.
Superintendent of Schools C.
Taylor Whittier answered that
the policy must be applied with
firmness il 1t IS to be effective
at Is one thing to have a
policy and another to have rigor

Under the present policy, Gle
mentary pupils are transported
If they live outside a one-mile
radius from their school, or if
the walking distance to school
Is more than IL miles.
For secondary students, the
comparable limits are III and
two miles.
Several board m e m bers
warned that any easing of the
present policies could greatly in
crease transportation costs.
Either you are firm about
your standards, or you open the
door," said board member VIII

cause they live few blocks less
than that"
Chairman Rose c. Kramer
asked: "Why is it nobody shows
up at budget time to ask for
more school buses? In the final
analysis, it's a choice between
more buses and more education
and most people seem to want
quality education"
Mrs. Kramer suggested the
formation of citizens advisory
committee to study the county
wide bus transportation prob
lem, but the proposal was not
picked up by her board col.
leagues.

Foster Care
Volunteers
Urgent Need

Montgomery County is ready
to pay foster families SIS a
month apiece for up to eight
children placed in 60-day emer-
gency shelter care.
Current high for temporary
foster child care paid by the
County is $50, plus $12 a month
for incidentals and clothing. The
$12 would be tackled on to the
new rate of SIS.
Decision to institute emer.
gency shelter care and higher
rates was made by William E.
Roger, director of the Welfare
Department, who said the whole
foster child care program has
reached the critical stage.
He blamed the situation on
two things: competition for
County foster homes from the
District of Columbia, which
pays as high as $50 per child, or
$40 more than Montgomery
County; the lack of foster care
homes in predominantly middle.
and upperincome homes Of
Montgomery County.
II guess we'll always be faced
with the latter problem" he said
resignedly. Meanwhile, the
County Council is studying pro-
posed higher foster care rates,
submitted by Roger, which
would put the County on a near.
ly equal footing with the Dis
trict.
Because of the lack of regu-
lar foster home care, however,
many children must be left in
homes riddled with economic
and social problems, Roger said.
Even worse" he added, "are
those children whose parents
have been evicted from their
homes and who haven't even
got a roof over their heads"
These children must be placed
in detention facilities where
some, Roger acknowledges, don't
belong.
Emergency Shelter care is
blueprinted for these unfortu-
mates, Roger explained. Theii
stay in these emergency homes
would be strictly limited to go
days, he added, during which
time the Welfare Department
would strive to find them places
III regular roster care homes.
Right now, Roger said, the
County's critical need for emer-
gency shelter for INDECENT chill
dren could be eased by approval
of only two families: one white
and one Negro.
He said that there always have
been too few foster homes for
children and sometimes, as
many as 10 children are depos-
tied in various state detention
homes-or left in their own neg.
lected homes-pending place.
