pattern. It has doubled since
1850. Zone of its Is election
districts, Wheaton, now has a
population equal to that Of the
entire county In the 1850 CEN
Sus).
Not only has its growth been
rapid, but the quality Of its
new development has been
high. The average value Of new.
sinKle-family homes built
Lass year was approximately
$4,000.
There is statistical proof that
Montgomery folk can afford
the. gracious living which has
become q symbol of their
county. The median income for
1858 in the entire county was
SO, A5-and the figure in Be-
thesda was 1920. During
the same year "Washington'S
median income was $5.660)
Rapid Population Growth
There Is every indication
that the upward trend in popu-
lation, building and income will
continue because Of Montgom-
erSs status as one Of the two
orthree most prosperous coun-
ties in the Nation.
Since it is diff1cult to predict
the extent Of Montgomery
County's exploding" popula-
ton, most published estimates
are conservative. The Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission expects
another 81 per cent increase
by 1910: the Washington Board
Of Trade pegs its guesses at
1885, 900 in 1865 and $4,000 in
1960-all the way up to one
million by the year 1000.
What are county officials do
ing to plan for the future?
The park and planning COM
mission is operating under a
general plan announced last
year to guide overall expan-
sion. The plan includes:
/. Harmonious development
Of residential communities,
shopping areas and employ
ment centers. with due atten-
ton, to large open spaces.
a.. Well designed commu-
mites. free Of scattered COM
mercial uses, with wide streets,
good-sized lots and adequate
parks and Fairgrounds.
8. Convenient shopping CEN
tefs4that have no harmful ef-
feet on neighboring properties
4. Planned industrial parks,
which attract industry to the
suburban area without injur-
ing residential zones.
5. Logically distribute d
schools and park facilities.
8. A good regional highway
system with ample rights-of-
way for future widening.
=. An improved system OF
rapid transit joining residential
areas to business districts.
Millions for New Schools
A major need of Montgom-
eryS fast growing population
can be seen in the Board OF
Education's estimates for school
construction through 1863 - q
total Of SIS million. This esti-
mate. made in 1858, generally
Is, regarded as conservative.
The Board Of Education al
ready has acquired considerable
land for school sites. Early
purchases obtain appropriate
locations at comparatively low
cost.
.Skyrocketing costs of public
schools come as no news tc
Montgomery County's taxpay-
ers. but the countrywide shock
over education's price is an an
nual reverberation. Inevitably
there is more discuSsion-pri-
vate as well as public-ovel
this item than any other ex-

pense in the county, and not
without cause.
Out Of every tax dollar re-
ceived in the fiscal year just
ended, 81 cents goes for educa-
ton. The next highest cost was
is cents Of each dollar to re-
pay the county's debt.
How high the tax rate may
go is an annual question. The
county council elected every
four years. considers each de-
partment's' budget and then
fixes the rate.
Tax Rate $2.4s Per 500
This years tax rate Is $2.48
per 500 assessed valuation.
Five years ago the figure was
$1.S7.
lComplete indignation Of the
county's $500 Negro school
children is anticipated by the
fall Of 1861. About half al
ready have been absorbed into
the white schools. Because Of
Montgomery's relatively small
percentage of Negro youngsters
about as per cent Of the
total-the problem has not
been difficult.
In recent years, the number
Of Negroes has remained static,
while the number of white
children has risen 5000 to 5000
a year.
Crime Rate Increases
/ Along with all the other sta
tistics that have shown steady
climbs, the figures on crime
have increased too. Serious re-
ported offenses thefts and all
types Of violence) numbered
1887 in 1858 contrasted with
1856 in 1855.
Lesser criminal offenseS.
such as assaults, embezzlement
and disorderly conduct result
ed in l0,774 reports. In 1855
the figure was S.032.
Montgomery is widely known,
however. as a clean" county.
free of organized gambling and
racketeering.
Highway improvements are
among the county's major
needs. After years of planning.
there still Is no throughway.
expressway or even a quick way
into and out of Washington.
Circumferential Highway
But there is a bright and
tangible hope for the next few
years In the Circumferential
highway now being construct
ed. Its westerly beginning is at
the proposed Cabin John
Bridge, due to be started next
year, and heads eastward
across Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties to the Wool
row Wilson Memorial Bridge to
Virginia.
1t will take about 80 minutes
to drive on the Circumferential
from the Potomac River to the
opposite side Of the county-a
trip that now takes more than
one hour.
The average Montgomery
County family spends a lot Of
time on its highways. Drivers
face monumental traffic Jams
at rush hours in almost any di-
rection. The generally accepted
worst intersection" is at Wis
conSin avenue and East-West
highway, Bethesda, where
10000 automobiles pass each
day in varying degrees Of
slowness.
Not far behind is the Georgia
avenue Colesville road intersec-
ton in the heart Of Silver
Spring, which also carries
about $4,000 cars daily but
lacks q few Of the complexities
of the Bethesda corner, where
five roads meet.
Much Room for Growth
Daily travel through these
areas gives the impression that
there is little rural land left In
the county. Actually, however,
only about so square miles Of
the 497 square miles in the
county are urban, leaving a

They have ample cause to be
proud OF their surroundings

as one Of the most favored
residential areas in the Nation.

On the Cross

What was extraordinary there
on Calvary was not the cross itself.
There where three in use that one
morning; the one on which Jesus
died had very likely been used be-
fore and would be used again. They
do not nowadays make the electric
chair over for every new criminal.
No, the extraordinary thing was
not the cross, as ugly an instru-
nent of torture as ever scared the
eye of man. What the gospels take
more pains in describing was what
happened on the cross. No two of
the gospels tell precisely the same
story, though they do not contra
dict one another. Luke's story has
been selected for this weeks study
Consider a few facts that Lukes
story high-lights. First is that an
innocent man hung on that central
cross. That he died between two
bandits only brings out more
strongly his own innocence.
Furthermore, it is extraordinary
that this Jesus made no complaints
about having been framed as

not necessary; most readers of the
gospels in those days had seen such
things and did not need to be re-

admiration. What wonderful love
this is, that the cody should die
for the ungodly, the innocent for
the guilty; that God should offer
up his own son "for us all" We
can stand at a distance and admire
the sacrifice and get no good
from it at all. We have to stand
at the Cross, we have to believe
in a more personal way than the
way of admiration. The same Saint
Paul who wrote that God gave up
his own Son for us all, put it much
more personally when he wrote, IT
live by faith in the Son of God, who
loved me and gave himself for me-"
(Gal. 2:20.) Standing at the Cross,
as no one can do for another but
each one for himself, and you for
Notwithstanding there we see
ourselves in a new way, we are
forced to see that we are the same
kind of people as put Jesus on that
cross, we are sinners. We see God
in a new wayne see him dealing
with sin in new way, taking the
effects of it upon himself. And
looking from the Cross, we see
other men too, as brothers for
whom Christ died.

many an innocent man in his place
would have done. Jesus mind was
filed with the thoughts of Others
rather than himself. The reader
will find it revealing to read these
stories of Christ's death carefully
Through the Cross
If you did not already know
otherwise you might think that as
time went on, people who adored
Jesus would prefer to forget that
bitter ending of his life on the
cross. Quite the contrary; Chris
tians have always gone to some
trouble to remember it. Every time
we observe Communion we are
proclaiming the Lords death. The
communion table in many church
has carved around it the words In
Remembrance of Me" But what
holds the church's mind and heart
is not merely the historical fact,
that certain teacher named Jesus
was uniustly executed on criminal
charges. The church believes that
through the cross we have Gods
forgiveness. We believe that this
was not a merely human tragedy
We believe that this was actually
the suffering of God on our behalf
and in our place; that the self-giv-
ing, dedicated, forgiving spirit Of
Christ is a revelation of Gods own
heart. Browning put it very simply:
Thou must love Me, who have
died for thee"
