A PPROVAL by the County Council this week of
~ law making it tougher for commercial apartment
developers to reappy for approval of their previously
denied projects is certain to meet with almost universal
approval.
1t is step long sought by citizens and civic groups
who have been subjected to constant harassment by
developers.
Some of the grim and memorable tactics used by some
developers have been quite reprehensibe. Some home
owners after commercial apartment rezoning requests
near them have been denied their merits must repeat
eddy fight the Hours must be spent in preparing such
case to do it right lawyers must be hred many hours
must be spent away from work. And once application
is denied its merits again and again and again 1t
becomes of necessity, frivolous harassng appi
cation The developer with plenty of money to finance his
repeated efforts and who has everything to gain and moth
ing to lose, keeps trying to beat down the homeowners
opposition through constant attack 1t sometimes works
and when it hasn't the toll among homeowners has been
great
Now with the law, such developer will be re-
quired to wait 18 months until he reappy the second
time and after the second denial he may not eappy for
three more years This should afford measure of
relief to harassed homeowners In the event that the
laws works real hardship the developer that is
entitled to relief there is loophoe that would make
this possible 1t is paramount however, that this loophoe
not be abused

sorry" but that he had "just
lost his head"
Officer Jackson described a
conference later that day among
Sutton, Principal James Jacobs
and the Jacksons:
II told him (Sutton) 1 would
take every means possible to
see that he was punished le-
gally."
Mrs. Jackson said it cost $50
to install temporary caps on her
sons teeth, and that permanent
caps will be required within two
years.
Expressions of confidence in
Sutton came from his super

gym teacher at Newport.

one report, the supervisor rec.

colleague, described Sutton as

Principal Jacobs said he had
recommended Sutton be re-hired

Judge Diamond took the occa.

for our county teachers :.
They are doing a fine job

Curriculum Move

p its actions of the last few months since it took office,
D the school board has served notice that it going to
keep much closer eye the public school curriculum
And this it to us, is altogether fitting and proper

done wonders in developing the curriculum There should
be question but what cricua today far at

dull old arithmec) to students than they gen.
GRAFTON ago. Those parents who criticize the curriculum
solely because it is different from when they in school
deserve short shrift.
There parents, however, who have thought
fully gone about the business of trying to evauae todays
curcula and armed with facts have arrived at the
sidered conclusion that curriculum while good in some
could stand improvement in Others These people
can, in many cases, communicate effectively with
their school board member hat is the principle of the
elected SYSTEM isn't IT'D than they can with appointed
school official Elected officials historically

The policy decision of the school board puts it
In the position of not nconsderabe responsibility and
obligation to refrain from punging too deeply into
riculum matters.
If the board has in mind exercise of its proper

not experiment too much with childrens textbooks
and courses, change them too rapidly, - frankly

On Laughter

A OST of us respect someone who says something
IV when know it took courage to say it. And such
the when Johns Hopkins emeritus professor of
the history of philosophy stood up before crowd attend
ing Washington Colleges commencement last Sunday and
declared
commandments have their laughable aspect We
put robes like those of medieval monks and are given
diplomas written in dead language which only few
of us can read"
The point he was trying to make that we are all
inclined to be serious speakers almost
invariably he pointed out sound they were at flu
neral What's solemn and grim about graduation? he
asked Actually of course it is of youths happiest
moments but few graduation speakers will concede this 1t
is for most of them event raught with deep significance
and one which reserves nothing but sober reflection.
when we are plunged in gloom" DIR. George Boas
told the Washington College audience Laughter is
thing that from madness 1t sets things in their
proper balance and prevents from taking ourselves
too seriously"
Speaking of present political pressures, labor prob
demagogues try to control things by attempting to induce
panic our best defense laughter for laughter is free
dom manfesting itself in irrefutabe fashion.

nonsensca denunciatons of the United States and our
Western allies, he greeted with outlaws instead of

Prescott to Sfuy

read, with considerable
amazement, the article in your
last issue that said Mrs. Pres
colt and I had moved to Anne
Arundel County; because moth
ing could be more completely
contrary to the factual situation.
AS have received so many in
quiries relative thereto, it may
not be inappropriate to outline,
briefly, the background that
brought about the article.
For the last Is years, 1 have
had a summer place on the Sew
ern River, and spent my sum-
mers there, committing there
from to Rockville while l was a
member of the Circuit Court
here. When I went on the Court
of Appeals, committing from An
napolis to Rockville was not
practical in the winter, for we
seldom stop work before 6
o'clock; so l winterized my sum-
mer place on the Severn, and
stayed there when sitting in An.
napolis.
For years, the work of the
Court of Appeals has involved
sitting two weeks in Annapolis
hearing arguments, and two
weeks for the Judges, at their
respective home offices, writing
opinions (Chief Judge Bruno
and Judge Henderson have their
offices in the Court House at
Baltimore; Judge Hammond at
the Court House at Towson:
and Judge Horney has an Of
flee at Centreville).
Last fall l had the opportuni.
ty of obtaining a rather unusual
property on the Severn, with
only a moderate increase of in
vestment already there. I
bought the same and sold the
other property on the Severn.
with the idea of using it in much
the same manner as l had for
merly used the property sold,
namely, to use 1t when sitting in
Annapolis and on vacation.
With all of my children mar
ried and the work of the Court
OF Appeals requiring one-half of
my time in Annapolis, realized
my home in Rockville was too
big for two people to maintain
Tor half time occupancy. While
this conclusion had been reached
sometime ago when l first went
on the appeals court, the election
to fill the seat occupied by me
did not occur until last Novem.
Der. My daughter has taken
over my home in Rockville with
the understanding that have
definite quarters there, when
working in Rockville.
/ was born and raised in
Montgomery County; all of my
children were born here; they
and attended its public schools;
the people thereof have been
kind enough to elect me three
times to the City Council of
Rockville, States Attorney and
State Senator from the County.
and l have had the privilege of
serving as a member of the
Bench for over 20 years. l have
never entertained any thought
OF moving from Montgomery
County; as ! expect to die a res.
ident thereof.
