AZ 3 Schools

An experimental program
of mathematics has been
introduced at three Mont
gomery County junior high
schools in an effort to fill a
void in science teaching at
that level.
The schools are Belt and Ken
sington Junior High Schools,
and junior high classes within
Damascus High School.
Currently, ninth-graders have
q choice: a general, watered-
down science class or a Ian
guage. according to Edmond
Burke, supervisor of science,
secondary schools.
The experimental program
consists of the introduction of
80 hand-Operated calculating ma
chimes which students will use
to solve problems of OperatiOnal
mathematics.
The problems would be appro-
pirate to the age and intellectual
level of the students, but to
greater depth than usually ap-
plies today, Burke said.
1t is hoped. Burke said, to
learn from outcomes of the
course data which eventually
can be used for a more sophisti-
Gated overall math course for
ninth-graders.
The course will serve as an in
PRODUCTION to the high school
math laboratory" using course
material in traditional biology,
chemistry and physics classes.
Teaching procedures for these
classes at the ninth-grade level
are pretty much tied to the text
book ito an undesirable extent"
Burke said.
Speaking of the program,
Burke said: eff the course /.
is finally accepted as a require
ment for all college preparatory
students in the ninth grade, we
would expect to revise work
done in higher level science
courses accordingly. AS a ma

Christmas Bureau Readies
Plans to Help Out Needy

A Christmas store"
where needy families can do
their Christmas shopping
free, will be set up this year
at 1920 Arlington rd., Be-
thesda.
The store will be operated by
the Christmas Bureau, a part
of the Health and Welfare Coun-
Gil. Its detectives are to take
part of the sting of charity out
of receiving Christmas baskets,
and to coordinate distribution
so that as many families as pos
sible can be reached,
Mrs. Reginald G. Conley,
chairman, explained that the
store will be stocked with dona-
tons of food, toys, ETC., and tu.
thorized parents can come and
pick up the basket without the
children knowing about it.
If a basket is delivered to the
home, Mrs. Conley explained, it
has a disillusioning effect on
the children and may spoil their
Christmas. This way, the par
ents can just tell the children
they are going Christmas shop
ping, and the toys show up on
the tree Christmas morning.
Families to receive baskets
are referred to the Christmas
Bureau by the county welfare
department, public healt h
nurses, Family Services, and
other organizations. In addi-
ton, a certain number will walk
in off the street and ask for

Porter Calls
Passport Bill
Dangerous
BY the Associated Press

A bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to ban travel by Ameri-
cans in designated foreign
areas was attacked in the
House yesterday as dangerous
and unnecessary.
But supporters of the meas
ure, which would also authorize
denial of passports to Commu-
nists, said it is a cold-war ne
cessity. They termed 1t a proper
extension of the executive pow
ers in matters affecting ma
tional security.

ocrat of Oregon, said that en-
acting the bill would mean "giv-
ing up a central prerogative OF
Members of Congress to travel

defended it. The committee
