Instead of accepting Quinlan
nominee of the Republican State
Central Committee, the Council
put off decision two weeks to
allow the public time to forward
other nominees.
This course of action came
after Councilman Houston b.
McCeney said that the Council
didn't want to become known as
a rubber stamp Council" in APP
proving lone nominees for posi-
tons of Importance.
County Council Clerk Law
renee Speelman was directed to
write and ask Quinlan if he
would accept reappointment by
the Council.
QuinIan told this newspaper
the same day that, at is not
an office that should be
sought, but If the Council
wishes to reappoint me, it
would be my moral duty to
accept"
He added that a number of
private citizens had told him
they were urging his reappoint-
ment. but he would not identify
them.
Nor would he comment on
Council action Tuesday that
clearly added up to an effort by
at least some of the Council TO
circumvent his reappointment
by throwing nominations open
to the public.
II don't think / should attempt
to interpret their motives, al
though this is news to me, :
Quinlan said from his home at
4S49 Broad Brook DIR.
Earlier, the Council had asked
the COP State Central Commit
tee to submit names of three
nominees to fill Quinlan's expir-
ing job. sec chairman David
Scull quickly fired back that
It was the first time he could
remember the Council not being
satisfied with the one name for
warded by the Central Commit
tee. And he thereby threw his
full support behind Quinlan.
Quinlan, a member of the
coming Board since January,
1858, first stepped into the glare

By z Days
School Year
Shortened
By Board

Mass objections by par
ents and teachers prompted
the school board this week
to lop two days off next
years school year.
The board moved the closing
date back from June "a to June
%, 1860.
AS originally proposed by Su.
perintendent c. Taylor Whittier,
the later date would have given
county schools the longest sched,
ule in the area. The two-day cut
however, brings the schedule in
line with those of Prince Georges
County and the District.
Parents have objected to the
late June closing because Il
means children will attend
school in the summer heat, and
because it cuts into planned
family vacations.
Teachers were unhappy be.
cause the late closing would
make IL difficult for them to
enroll In summer education
courses at nearby universities.
To ease the teachers plight
the board agreed this week to
postpone a teachers workshop
originally scheduled for the
week following the close oil
school in June, until just prior
TO the opening OF the 1960-61
school year.

Vandalism Up Again

Vandalism at county schools, which set an all
time high for damage costs last month"; may be on the
way to even higher records for August
During the first 13 days of August vandals
smashed nearly $3.50 worth of glass. If the break
age continues at that rate the months total would
soar far above the July record of about $21OO.
The August figures were given to the school board
this week by DR.. Arthur Templeton director of bust
ness affairs for the schools
Vandalism ordinarily increases during the sum-
mer vacation, but this year has been the worst in
history. Damage during the year just concluded
amounted to about $16000 or about 80 per cent more
than during the previous year.

fired off twin blasts this
week at the Montgomery
County Council and the
School Board.
While the aim was accurate,
the effect of their volley ap-
peared doubtful. II might
turn out that they were
shooting blanks.
Their ammunition was made
of scores of letters and tele-
grams scoring both agencies for
allowing selection of the site
between First and Second ayes.
on Arson st. for the County
Service Building.
Chief among their complaints
was that the building would
contain what they called a GAIL"
and what County officials term
a 10-cell detention quarters.
Such lock up and its tenants
would surely degrade their
neighborhood, they wrote and
wired. It had no place near the
Woodside Elementary School,
they said.
While all of the members of
the County Council received
written and vocal reaction to
their choice of sites-over an
other on Silver Springs blight

Werner felt the sting most.
Council President Mrs. Wern-
er, who was on vacation when
her colleagues picked up the
Arson st. options, said she re-
turned home to find her door
way strewn with mail and tele-
grams. Some had been slipped
under the door, .. Av-FA.--f -ass
She mentioned particularly a
missive repeatedly written by
John Benedict, president of the
Woodside Elementary School
P-TA. This letter widely cir
culated plea that the Council
reconsider its action.
Benedict also appeared
Monday night before the
School Board to repeat his
plea, but was advised that the
Board takes dim view of
intervening into the Councils
land-use policies.
Mrs. Werner said she will an
swer every letter or telegram
sent her on the issue. She read
a three page letter that will go
to most of her correspondents.
Chief among the statements
in her letter was the terse re-
tort that, Il believe it would be
improper and unethical for the
County Council to reconsider
the issue"
In backing UP their stand,
school board members said that
they had not been approached
by Woodside area residents be-
fore the service buildings site
was picked and, in effect, the
horse was already out of the
barn.
