UNICEF policies are established by a 80.

1858 it rendered aid in 105 countries, of which
Poland and Yugoslavia were the only two
communist controlled. Poland in 1858 got

$40 million. Yugoslavia, which is not mem.

'Frustrution' Cited

1t was gratifying to see the
SentinePs coverage of the 1916
precinct election. BY acquaint-
ing yourself with some of our
issues, you improved your per.
spective of last Tuesdays Coun.
ty Democratic Party contest.
You are to be commended for
seeing what other papers
missed.
The growing threat of more
poorly planned apartments in
our area is indeed of great con-
Germ to many of the hometown.
ers, and Enthusiastically affected
their voting. But underlying
this was a concern over the dor.
mant political organization,
which had never been a respon.
sive agent for political action
with which the citizens could
create the kind of community
they wanted. In fact, the citi-
zens have been denied the effec.
tive voice in political affairs
that an active precinct provides.
This intolerable Illustration is
one reason why so many people,
apartment jewellers as we'll as
home owners, worked so hard
to bring out the unusually high
percentage of voters who ex.
pressed themselves at the ballot
box last Tuesday night.

Shiloh Church Road is a coun-
try road about two miles long
in upper Montgomery County
near Clarksburg. On this road
live a dozen families, about fifty
persons, on farms of two to one
hundred acres. Through the
farm land runs a small stream
called Ten Mile Creek. The
water in this stream was clear
and clean enough to be stocked
with trout recently. About two
miles away are country stores
and a garage. Its a quiet and

Open Letter

Have you been to a Richard
Montgomery High School activ-
ity recently?
Attending activities means
your support of Rockville's high
school. Because so per cent of
the population is under eighteen
years old, the high school is
very important to everyone in
the city. We are proud of our
school in meeting students
needs-academic, general, COM
mercial or vocational. Did you
know that over 80 per cent Of
last years senior academic stu
dents were accepted by college
and professional schools7 Did
you know that last year IL
seniors received fourteen differ
ent scholarships, ranging from
200 dollars to 10000 dollars?
Do you understand the full
significance of our extra-cur-
ricular activity program? These
activities grow out of classwork
and give us additional expert
ence in areas of specific interest.
The dramatics club, for example
is indirectly an outgrowth of the
English classes and gives further
experience in self expression,
staging and costuming, acting
and speaking, lighting and d.
recting.
We want to share with you
the pleasure of these activities.
Certainly you have much to gain
in personal enjoyment from our
plays, concerts, and ball games.
If you enjoy football, come to
the R.M.H.S. field Saturday to
see our undefeated Rockets play
B-CC. On November 10 and Ia,
our dramatics club, will present
Claudia, a comedy hit recently
staged in New York. The Glee
Club, renowned for its excel
lence, will offer a Christmas pro-
gram in December and a Gilbert
and Sullivan operetta in the
spring.
Come see us, you are always
welcome.

Dr.. Bird Praised

May We add another observa.
ton about Doctor p. w. Bird.
His contributions to the commu-
nifty were many and have been
frequently recited. But perhaps
one OF his greatest contributions
to his fellowman was his own
personal warmth and his appre.
citation of the individual.
He greeted everyone, regard.
less color or status, as an in
dividual and a human being
who commanded his attention,
his respect, his understanding,
and his affection.
We would all do well to fol.
low this great mans example.

proposed.
About midway down this road
lies the Monson farm of Y
acres. On this land a developer
proposes to build a trailer court
for 346 trailers. 1t will be a de
luxe court. There will be paved
streets and parking spaces for
two cars at every trailer. There
will be a swimming pool and a
recreation area where children
may play. There will be a S75,-
600 sewage disposal unit. But
there are problems in providing
for the comfort of approximate
ly 1000 persons who will live
here.
Water supply must come
from wells. County officials esti-
mate that each person requires
rs gallons of water a day. For
"a thousand persons the supply
must be $4,000 gallons of water
a day. Some of us who remem-
Der a few dry wells in years of
drought are concerned about
the effects of such a demand on
the water table of such a small
area.
Sewage disposal, we are told,
will be no problem. That $751;
600 disposal unit will put out a
product that is $3.50 pure-and
$3.50 pure output will be chlor-
mated. What can be done with
this $3.50 pure, chlorinated
liquid waste which in quantity
will nearly equal the flow of
clear water in Ten Mile Creek
at its low period? There is no
problem there. Pump this puri-
fled and chlorinated residue
from the output of 346 toilets
and the slop of 346 sinks into a
stream that flows into Ten Mile
Creek. 1t will then flow into
Seneca Creek and finally into
the Potomac River.
Education for the children
will be provided by Clarksburg
School two miles away. 1t
seems safe to assume that there
will be one child per trailer, or
a total of 346 children in this
trailer park. The Clarksburg
School, with a three classroom
addition to be completed next
year, will accommodate $50 chill
dren. At the present time, 335
children are attending Clarks-
burg School. The result of
doubling the school population
is obvious-double shifts for the
school children.
At a well publicized meeting
OF the Clarksburg Community
Association, members voted dis
approval of this proposed trailer
court.
Why should this particular
area be selected for a trailer
park? There are other areas
within the reach of water
lines, sewage lines, and multi
pie school installations that
would make excellent sites for
such a development. OF course,
some persons feel that such a
development lowers real estate
values in any residential area.
This is an attempt to obtain
spot-zonlng in an area zoned
Rural.Residential, which re.
quires a subdivision of no less
than one-half acres lots. How
large can a development be and
still be called spot.zoning? How
great must the pressures be for
rezoning of land adjacent to a
development before that de.
velopment is considered a cir
convention of the coming plan?
How great must the impact on
a community be before a de-
velopment is considered un.
wieldy for spot.zoning? Can APP
parently near-unanimous dis
approval Of a project by COM
munity cause the appeal for
spot-zoning be denied?

CLEVELAND, April % (AP)
General Electric Co. ran its
stockholders meeting like
clockwork yesterday, although
Union Leader James B. Carey
sounded two alarms.
Mr.. Carey. speaking from the
floor in Masonic Hall toward
the brightly lighted stage where
GE directors sat, pleaded fer
vently for the company to give
its employees more Job security.
He also warned that the
firms savings and security pro-
gram was opening the way for
jurisdictional trouble between
his International Union of
Electrical Workers (AFL-CIOl
and the independent United
Electrical Workers. He said
GE is using the program as Q
substitute for collective bar

Nevertheless, the 1900 share
holders from rs States and
representing 85.3 per. cent of
voting shares gave the savings
security program overwhelming
approval. They also reelected
all directors.
