TwENTY years ago this weekend Adolf Hitler
l. pointed his tanks and dive bombers at Poland
and struck. He was off the dark and bloody
road Of world conquest Millions of Allied soldiers,
sailors, airmen and plain civilians died to stop him,
and they succeeded.
But suppose they had failed. What would life be
like today if Hitler had won the war?
1t is now possible to reconstruct in terrifying
detail Hitlers secret plans for the postwar world.
He liked to discuss them with his underlngs at his
headquarters, and many of these conversations
faithfully recorded. From them put together
accurate picture of Hitlers nghtmarish dream of
global empire, which included such Hiteresque fea-
lures as these:
There WOULD be no Europe any more Just

Not the least important in
this respect, it was pointed out,
was the fact that this recon-
mendation would be the least
expensive way to most quickly
improve the situation"
The report that produced the
controversy was issued by
mathematics curriculum COM
mittee of the County Council of
P-TAs after nearly Is months
of study.
The report made the follow
ing points:
Most elementary school
teachers have less mathe-
mates training than they have 1
physical education.
. Classes should be split into
slow and fast learners. \
. A large scale study of theft
program be instituted in 1860.

FruitIess Search for NBS
In Caithersburg Is Told

DR.. Henry DeLaszlo, British
scientist learned in the subject
of pure substances found some
impurities in the U. S. brand
of information recently.
Although he had no trouble
negotiating the thousands Of
miles between London and
Washington, D. c., once here,
he got lost.
DR.. DeLaszlo was to address
American colleagues at the Ma
tional Bureau of Standards
Thursday morning. SO, bright
and early, he hailed a cab.
But he was handicapped from
the start. He had been told that
NBS was located in Gathers
burg-it's some years in the
future.
Accordingly, he corrected a
surprised cabby and had him
head for Maryland. The cabby
must have been unfamiliar with
Montgomery County or perhaps
he wanted to be sure his rider
wasn't being spoofed, because
he stopped at the National In.
stitutes of Health, Bethesda.
But whoever he asked, the
story goes, they confirmed that
NBS was in Gaithersburg. So
the misguided pair headed
North once more.

FOrsaken Pets are Gassed
Bv Hundreds at Shelter
BY Steed Evans
staff Reporter

Tail thrashing ecstatically, the mixed
breed pooch stood on his hind legs and put
his front paws against the wire fence
Outside the fence stood small boy, about
II, who stared at the dog longingly. few
minutes passed and man entered the cage
at the Montgomery County Animal Shelter and
took the dog out.
Now, this little incident, repeated innum-
cradle times, has two endings. One of them
is unpleasant In one case the boy gets the
dog and both live happily ever after.
In the other case however, the dog is
led into chamber where he Is gassed.
A shelter official said that during sum-
mer months when owners abandon pets in
order to take worryfree vacation as many
as 1000 cats are gassed into oblivion.
Summer is the slack time for pet adop.
tons, but the heaviest time of the year for
abandonments. The shelter, therefore, usually
finds its quarters jammed with between Al
and so dogs waiting out their memorable death
sentences.
People ask How can Animal Warden
be so cruel killing all those dogs and cats?"
They're not being cruel. Their unpleasant job
is one that must be done If callous public is
to continue abandoning thousands of pets an
nually.
Years ago a funny little comedian with sad
eyes was known to millions of American radio
listeners by his puckish tradesmark "Yuck,
yuck, yuck, you want to buy duck?" The
little guys name was Joe Penner and he's
dead now.
Perhaps the analogy is thin but what
this country needs today more than it does
nickel cigar is somebody to get up there
and ask, Does somebody want to buy pup"
It's so cheap to save life, too. Right
now, while Montgomery County people are
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1959-05-21

planning on their vacations, scores Of pets
are brought to the Animal Shelter on Brooke
vile rd., Silver Spring where their owners
ask the Animal Warden to dispose of them.
Many of these persons know that the
county's new dog control ordinance goes into
effect June l and are just trying to get rid
of their responsibility to their pets. At that
its better than simply abandoning them.
But the point is, many of these pets can
be saved from an almost certain death II new
owners would adopt them. It's quick and
easy and rewarding.
1t costs 81 to buy, or adopt, nice dog.
Necessary licenses cost as little as $1.35 and
mandatory rabies shots are given free at coun
ty incubation clinics until May Is, next Mon
day
Cats are free to anyone who'll take one
from the Animal Shelter Juniper 1910.
Occasionally pedigreed animals with noble
blood lines show up at the Shelter. Milton F.
Hurdle, chief warden tries his best to find
owners for these exceptional animals rather
than kill them after the legal minimum time
of five days (this period will be extended to
seven days under the new dog law.
1t isn't the kids Hurdle and his aides have
to convince. It's the parents.
Mrs. Florence II. Wright, clerk at the
Shelter remembers the day little girl came
In with note from her mother saying it
was alright for her to get a dog. She had
saved up the money from her allowance.
Later that day, when the girl took the
dog home, her mother called the Animal Shell.
ter and furiously asked why they had let the
girl take the dog.
1t turned out that the child wanted dog
so bad, she forged the note. But she had to
bring her new friend back and it subsequently
was gassed Presumably the mother was
placated.

Rain Still Too Scarce
In These Here Parts

Memories turned to the
drought of 1857 last week as
Maryland and much of the east
coast moved into ninth month
of subnormal rainfall.
Until rain gushed down last
Tuesday and Wednesday, Mont
gomery County fields had felt
no rain for 10 straight days.
The two heavy downpours, how
ever, brought the month of May
up to slightly more than the
average monthly rainfall of 1.S3
inches.
Since last October, precipita-
ton in the area has ranged
from around a half-inch to as
high as 1.55 inches less than the
normal each month.
Graphic illustration of the tin.
der dry conditions brought on
by little or no rain were the
numerous brush fires that kept
volunteer firemen fighting fires
at a record rate.
r. c. Schmidt, forecaster at

port, said that a dry winter
does not necessarily mean a dry
summer, but then, neither does
1t preclude a drought.

Summer Chevy Show

Everyone seems to agree that
summer television is not very sub
S%tantlal, but as we look back, there have
been some rewarding moments in our
TV fare.
One of the best, and this wa true
in 1858 as we'll, was the Summer Chevy
Show. Those who followed this series
found a great deal of satisfaction in
hearing really good music, effectively
and imasinafively presented. And with
rare, if any, exceptions. the programs
we're remarkably free of the Iapses into
bad taste that so often mark our musical
shows.
We hope this series had a high
audience rating 1t was such a welcome
relief from the din Of so much current
music and from the monotony of so
many variety shows---as contradictory
