BoyObserving
Birthday Dies
In Farm Pond

A Wheaton youth drown
ed on his 18th birthday on
Monday when he attempted
to swim across a pond near
Layhill I'd. in WOODBURY. es-
tates.
John w. Johnston, jr., of
1910 Randolph rd., died despite
the rescue efforts of two COM
panions, one of whom pulled the
other to safety after he was
dragged beneath the surface by
the drowning boy.
According to county police,
John went to the privately
owned pond with VIM. (Brice)
Whitmore, 16, of 3409 Farthing
dr., and Billy Matthews, Is, 800
Randolph I'd. to test a new fish
ing rod. The youths separated,
Brice and Billy remaining on
one side of the pond while John
went to the opposite bank,
some so feet distant.
Brice reported John waded
into the pond and then started
to swim across to join his COM
panions. Midway across he an
peared to be in difficulty but,
when he was asked if he needed
help, said he thought he could
reach shore.
Then, Brice said, John yelled
for help and Brice plunged in
and went to his assistance.
However, he said, when he told
the struggling boy to turn on
his back John seized him
around the neck and dragged
him below the surface.
Billy Matthews then dived
into the pond and pulled Brice
to safety, but was unable to
save John. The Sandy Spring
rescue squad, summoned to the
scene, recovered Johns body
about As minutes later and
tried in vain to revive him.
The boy was pronounced
dead at the scene by DR.. F. ].
Broschart, county medical ex-
aminer.

day. Her action came as a
surprise to many of her col
leagues, who were unaware of
her resignation.
According to John P. Gaquin,
personnel assistant to the coun-
ty manager, Mrs. Barber stated
she was relinquishing her coun-
ty position to become associated
with her husband in a national
detective agency.
No replacement has been APP
pointed as yet, according to
Gaquin, who said that existing
county employees would be given
first consideration for the job
in line with a county personnel
board policy of 'in service" re-
cruitment. If no one within the
county organization is found
to be qualified, he added, the
job will be open to a qualified
applicant from outside the local
government.
Edwin Bright, chairman of
the Board of Appeals, said the
position, is responsible to and
directed by the office of the
county manager. The appoint
ment, he added, is therefore not
controlled by the appeals board.
The appeals board acts on
petitions for special exceptions,
appeals for variances and also
those charging error by the
building inspector, the Park and
Planning Commission and other
administrative officials as we'll
as appeals from building re-
strictions imposed by master
highway plans under the coming
ordinance.

What's Good for Youths
Is No Good for Parents

Living next to a recreation
center may be fine for children,
but it has its drawbacks as far
as parents are concerned.
A group of 43 property own

to the North Four Corners Rec

in a letter to the County Coun-
eli.

Another Centennial memen-
to of potential value as a collec-
tors item is the wooden nickel,
now in circulation as valid cur
rency in the city. The fact that
the coins have been validated
by city merchants makes them
relatively rare and in future
years they will attain status as
a type of legal currency "that

tennial officials.
Requests for the coins al
ready have been received from
residents of four neighboring
states, the Centennial commit

Aryone viewing the TV version of this first in a
series of four debates between the Republican and

being impressed with Jack Kennedys dedication
and firm convictions as brilliantly demonstrated by
a young man whom the opposition constantly charged
with being immature
At the moment when U.S. world leadership is be-

1t seems very unlikely since the young man car
the message before North Carolina and Louis

highest honor rather than compromise with his con-
science and convictions To old-tmers, Kennedy ex-
nudes the poise and confidence of young FDR
In this first face-toface oratorical encounter Jack

Historically, the world has always been divided into

Western dernocracies and Communism, each faction
