/ am a senior at Walter john
son High School. This past sum.
mer I participated in the Amer
lean Service Program, a pro-
gram which involves an ex.
change of teenagers between
various foreign countries and
the United States. Through this
exchange, the ATS hopes to pro-
mote. better understanding and
friendship between the peoples
of different nations.
For a period of two months
I lived in Germany with a Ger
man family. In the short time I
was there, 1 had many wonder.
full experiences with my" fam.
lily. I became familiar with an.
other language, and I adjusted
to completely different customs.
Not only have 1 profited from
my experiences abroad, but l
also hope the people I came in
contact with came to understand
America and Americans better.
1t was certainly a worthwhile
and enjoyable way to spend the
SUMMER
The ATS program works
through schools, and it will soon
be time for interested students
to apply. Any teenager who is
interested and attends a school
which participates in the pro.
gram should take advantage Of
this opportunity. Perhaps next
summer he or she will be liv.
ing in a foreign country!

'Outcosts'
Kal Johnson

Montgomery County is not
only the richest county in the
United States, but it is also
unique and unrivaled in still an.
other respect. Our county has
the most abominable and dis.
graceful trailer courts anywhere
in the state.
The first statement of the pre-.
ceding paragraph is something
to be proud Of; however, we can.
not be so naughty about the
other condition.
We who live in trailers are
not gypsies or even Bohemians.
We are respectable citizens with
average incomes who pay taxes
as regularly as the next indi.
vidual. Neither are we vaga.
bonds for most of us are of
the working class.
Regardless of these normal
qualities we possess, trailerites
are Disseminated against, neg.
lected, and censured by the coun.
~ government because the trail
er courts are considered blights
TO the surrounding areas. We
are not Indifferent to our en-.
vlronment, but the officials who
nave jurisdiction to alleviate the
repulsive conditions refuse to
coerce trailer court owners 70
adhere to laws and regulations.
we would certainly like to he
indicated from the term of
gypsy" yet Rockville officers
merely shake their heads and
say they are unable to enforce
some of the court owners 70
establish more suitable trailer
parks. Our county governments
excuse Is that the courts were
IN existence prior to the laws:
therefore, the owners are known
as noncomfortists and apparent.
~ not obligated to comply.
Meanwhile, conditions for the
trailerites become more deplor.
able each year.
Trailers are homes to a mi
nority group for one of several
reasons. Either the $1,000 TO
$4,000 dollar houses are out of
reach or a s0;year mortgage is

How collous?

Asst week. the Sentinel carried another in series OF
L editorials urging public officials and the & XIX
ia give somewhat higher priority to the problem OF
solving the grade crossing problem here in Montgomery
County.
In the editorial predicted that someone was going
"a no killed at one of the crossings tomorrow or
next week or next month"; And asked that steps be
taken to avoid this needless sacrifice of human llte
This was not done without cause. In the preceding
few days. speeding o passenger train puverzed an
empty bus that had stalled the Randolph rd grade
crossing Four days after that 0 freight came to
grief at almost exactly the same spot and IL cars were
strewn over the Montgomery County landscape in mass
of twisted STEEL Mercfuly one was killed in either
accident
The ink was hardly dry editorial when the
crack B & Diplomat roared toward grade crossing
Al Mountain Lake Park in Western Maryland which
a school bus was stalled with % children aboard The
frantic driver pulled to safety but in the nightmare
that followed seven children killed and IL injured
What more evidence is needed to convince officials
that money must be found to eliminate these crossings?
How many more must die? How callous can we get?

Intellectual Courts?

AS a resident along that speed
way thru Damascus, commonly
known as Rt. u, 1 protest the
leniency of the court toward
the young men who were ar
rested for using it as a drag
strip"
The route through Damascus
is plainly posted at 80 miles but
irresponsible young men in
souped-up cars race by our house
SO fast it is impossible to get
license numbers. They are not
the only offenders. Huge oil
trucks, panel trucks, and many
other vehicles hurtle back and
forth between Rt. 40 and Rt.
240 at breakneck speeds. Yester-
day two enormous trailers, after
they had delivered their cars,
raced by our house neck and
neck in a light-hearted attempt
to outdistance each other. Every
day our lives are endangered
in this beautiful little country
town by drivers who will not
obey traffic laws.
We know from our own OBJ
servation that both State and
County police are alert to this
situation and trying to correct
it. So what happens? After
painstaking effort they arrest
few of the worst offenders and
the court dismisses them with
a mild warning about "the next
time" After all these are not
kindergarten children. BY the
next time they may quite easily
have killed someone. They are
certainly headed that way. Why
does anyone wonder why our
police officers are treated with
contempt by the lawless? Isn't
it because they are treated with
contempt by our Intellectual
courts, and made a laughing
stock to our criminals?

On High Taxes
Rt. ~ Resident

A letter to the editor indicated
the distress of a retired person
due to the phenomenal increase
in Montgomery County real
estate taxes. / share the cor
respondents feelings, being re-
tired myself. The burden on
residential real estate, due al
most entirely to school demands,
is becoming preposterous. A
more economical approach is
possible, and there certainly
are fairer ways of sharing a
legitimate burden if the public
had the energy and courage to
face them. l have tried to do
something about it, but have
had a very lonely time.
This, however, is a democracy,
and the majority Cor the vocal
part of it, rules. The county
council does its part by holding
an annual series of public meet
ings on the budget. That is
the time and opportunity for
complaints and action. Yet who
turns up? Practically nobody
except the pressure groups and
gimme gimme" people, and
they are vocal indeed. One
after the other they demand
bigger and fancier schools and
athletic fields, more and more
spending-for nothing is too
good for our Johnny. Why not,
when the bulk of Johnny's
school expense can be foisted
on someone else? The sky is
the limit, and the rare soul who
dares to oppose them is a curl
osity and an odd stick.
When the tax bills arrive It
is a different story, but then,
unfortunately, it is too late.
There's only one hope: Next
year, let's all see that the dis
tress calls land they are genu.
Inc enough are sent out and

too much of an encumbrance.
Other trailerites want something
more concrete than apartment
rent receipts, while still others
are obligated to shift to differ
ent sections of the country be-
cause of their occupations.
1t may seem strange that some
people have a preference to trail
er living; nevertheless, it would
be more advantageous if we out
casts of Montgomery County
law were given decent trailer
courts in which to live. Being
ostracized by our county gov
eminent makes us just a little
ashamed of the richest county in

Moreover, ministering to both
Shaw and this cluster of re-
nowned players is Harold Clur-
man, vocationally a director Of
repute, avocationally a critic of
vigor.
This, therefore. might well be
the "Heartbreak House" of
which Shaw, himself. dreamed
at the end of World War ]
when he wrote the play sum-
ming up Gods case against the
criminal folly of man.
Well, it isn't, as so many
previous productions of the
play have proved themselves
not to be. True. it leaves no
doubt that "Heartbreak House"
is towering Shaw. as witty and
wise a use as anyone has ever
made of the English language.
Moreover. it rewards actors with
riches beyond their highest
hopes, and offers the director
a challenge no man of taste
could resist.
Yet. even with one half an
hour of its, long recognized ex-
cess of eloquence deleted,
"Heartbeak House" lies tan
talyzingly just beyond the
reach of perfect performance.
1t fascinates. perhaps more
than usual in this instance, but
it fails to electrify. the latter
of which clearly was Shaw's
intention and the unfailing
high hope of performers and
audience.
Moral criticism has never
had such sting, nor at the same
time so little actual excitement.
