Dog Law Crowd of $50
One of Biggest Here

Three Montgomery County
policemen with flashlights
stood outside Richard Mont
gomery high school in Rock
vile Friday night, wrestling
with a tangle of cars that
backed up onto the Rockville
pike.
Inside the schools gym, a meet
ing to consider adoption of a dog
control law got underway shortly
after 8 o'clock. Late-comers con
tinued to arrive, and by the time
all were seated, county officials
estimated $50 had showed up.
1t was one of the biggest crowds
to attend a hearing in county his
tory.
Up front, on the stage, were
six members of the County Coun-

All had come to test the saying
that Dog is Mans Best Friend.
Well, he might be, but he's got
an awful lot of enemies in subur-
ban portions of the county.
The night got off to a faulty
start. Microphones ia front of
Council President Stella B. Wer-

that the first two speakers from
the audience addressed them
selves to the council and were
lost to the audience.
Repeated cries that 1--WE can't
hear" brought a rebuke from
Mrs. Werner. So did boos, hoo
rays and choruses of groans.
Mrs. Werner finally threatened
to close the meeting and the noise
subsidized.
The meeting was not without
humor. One man, who scathingly
pooh-poohed a previous speakers
contention that packs of 100
pound dogs roam the county, was
later the victim of outlaws when
he inadvertently admitted that
his female German shepherd dog
weighed 80 pounds.

BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Summertime and boating
time are here-and with them
the arrival in my mail of a
question as inevitable as the
appearance of the newspaper
headline: Mercury Tops Rec
ord" The question, of course,
is: How can we keep new
boating enthusiasts from claim
ing that their cupboard rigs
will do Xxx knots an hour'?"
The question this time comes
from a San Diego reader who
regards it as particularly
shocking that this phrase is
heard SO often in a community
whose heritage and tradition
are so closely associated with
the sea.
About all we can do is to
repeat for the umpteenth time
that knots per hour" is as
meaningless and as redundant
as "pizza pie" A knot" is
a measurement of speed for
water-borne vessels. Specifi-
cally, a knot" is one mile per

hour. So If a ship or boat is
making Is knots" she is trav-
cling at Is nautical miles per
hour. To say "15 knots per
hour" then, is to say rs miles
per hour per hour'-and to
stamp you as an ignorant land
lubber.
Note, too, that "knots" are
figured in nautical miles
which are substantially longer
than linear or statute miles.
Eight hundred feet longer, to
be exact, for the nautical mile
is 6,076 feet, while the statute
mile, of course, is $3.50 feet.
That might be worth bearing
in mind when calculating gas
mileage in your new outboardl
BY the way, the sure stamp
of a nautical tyro is q confu-
sion in the use of the terms

landsmen any floating craft is
a boat" but to man Of the
sea the distinction is clear-a
small. open vessel, especially a
pleasure craft. is a boat; large.
passenger or cargo-carrying
vessels are ships" never
boats"
Do I hear a voice inquiring
what's wrong with the phrase
"pizza pie"-which threatens
to outstrip MONS apple pie"
in the great American popu-
larity sweepstakes? The trouble
simply is that it's redundant
Specifically, since ''pizza'
means pie" in Italian. the
phrase "pizza pie" means pie
