New School
ForDisturbed
Boys Ripped

A proposed school for emo
tionally disturbed boys was OPP
posed yesterday as a potential
menace" to the safety of
Montgomery County's Falkland
area.
Speaking at a Board of APP
peals hearing, spokesman of the
Columbia Road Citizens Asso-
citation said, "Emotionally dis
turbed children are potentially
irresponsible and therefore
would be a menace in other
ways. :"
A special exception permit

known as the Edgemeade
School-was requested by DR..
F. William Dinwiddie, a clini-
cal psychologist who plans to
direct the institution for a nom
profit corporation.

Miazga, former Juvenile Court
Judge in Prince Georges Coun-
ty. are members of the schools
Board of Advisers.
Sharp Distinction
At an earlier hearing Mon
day, six psychiatriStS, testifying
for the Edgemeade sponsors,
said there is a sharp distinc-
ton between emotionally dis
turbed children who would live
in the school and other chill
dren classified as delinquent,
psychotic or mentally retarded.
Backers of the school, which
would care for a maximum Of
10 boys, have proposed using
an l8.5-acre tract at $4,000
Robey road, Falkland. The
property is east of new Route
90 between Falkland and Bur-
louisville.
Durwood D. Connick whose
home is across Robey road
from the proposed site, said
BODYBUILDING in the area would
be curtailed if the school were
approved.

oCdIlulLldNlau designs, more
than any others, have exerted
an influence on our own home
furnishings tastes today. Be-
cause Of the cultivated sim
plicity and practically Of
these designs. they show
promise of continuing on the
scene for quite a while to
come.
An exhibition called "Swed-
ish Textiles Today" was i'm
ported from that country not
long ago and now. under the
auspices of the Smithsonian
Institution, is touring mu-
seums all over the country.
In it, particularly among the
prints and patterns, one
recognizes the skillfull touch
of architect and artist. }
Many of these designs were
developed by,an unusual ven-
ture sponsored. surprisingly
enough, by Nordiska Com
panien, Stockholm's largest
department store. Here a staf
is maintained in a sunlit two
story studio for the sole pur-
pose Of experimenting with
weaves. colors, fibers and

weaver and designer, who has
created many Of the fabrics

ment and subject matter from
dainty lemon-trimmed golden
yellow dishcloths to strong
brilliant geometric designs in
spired by modern buildings.
Recently an American firm
commissioned Mrs. Sampe to
put together a collection of
textiles made here. Now the
group of six designs. all Of
them geometric and ranging
from tiny to tremendous, are
ready to be used in American
