Culture in Suburbia
Dedicated County Group
Is Pushing Art Center

An abiding belief that
drama deserves more than a
21-inch proscenium and that
Montgomery County is
ready for an organized,
broad range of arts performed
under one roof, has spanked or
ganization of the Montgomery
County Arts Center, Inc.
The group, formed Is months
ago, now claims 346 paid mem
bers and is enjoying it's first
session of performance, par
Elephants, conversation and cof-
fee," at the auditorium of the
National All Club Foundation,
Connecticut ave., Chevy Chase.
Their major goal is to acquire
20 acres and build a cultural CEN
ter to cost about one million
dollars" While the actual build
ing could be financed through
contributions or a private bond
issue, the organization hopes
that the Park and Planning
Commission or the County
Council will make site avail
able.
The Commission has already
answered with a provisional
no." but the Arts Center hopes
this isn't final. The Commission
told the Center's hackers to go
before the Council with their
plea. They haven't, yet.
The Planning Commission
based its "hands off attitude
on the premise that it it were
to make land available to a non
profit organization = the Arts
group originally picked a site
in the Wheaton Regional Park
it would leave itself open to
similar requests fom scores of
other organizations.
The Revenue Authority for
the county repeatedly has de-
clined to take up such a project
proposed by members of the
Allied Civic Group, whose plans
for a cultural space are entirely
separate, if somewhat similar,
to those Of the Arts Center
people.
Nevertheless, Ere d e RI c k
Gutheim, Arts Center president,
said recently, 1--WE must plainly
confess the lack of theaters, con.
cert halls, auditoriums and gal
leries. An equal lack is artistic
direction for both individuals
and s. groups"
And William Nj. Hart, chair
man of an Arts Center interim
committee said, a.. the present
and potential cultural needs of
our county are way beyond the
aII-purpose recreation center or
school gymnasium"
Despite Montgomery County's
acknowledged high standard of
living and literacy, Our ma
terial prosperity and resources
are not in themselves indicative
of high cultural level" Gutheim
declared. Until now" he con-
tinued, "our culture might prop
erly be criticized as waist
high"
Members of the Arts Center
group hope that by building a
central meeting place for all per-
forming arts as well as class
rooms for instruction in all art

been as surely injured in mind
and spirit by segregation as
have Negro children: both have
been warped, both have been
kept from a free, creative life;
both find it difficult to be cour-
ageous, strong individuals who
can defy conformity and find
their own responses to the
world.
But some white Southerners
are speaking out, and more
would If they could hear others
do so. There is serious lack
of communication between lib
eral Southerners. We can't hear
each other speak because there
are so few places where the
person who opposes segregation
can speak in the South. The
local radio and TV forums nave
not as yet been opened up to
many white SouthernerS who
oppose segregation and are
willing to say so; nor have the
national forums been opened to
them. Again and again, on TV,
the nation sees Senator Tai
madge and Senator Eastland

and hears them say the same
old things they've said for ten
years about mongrelization.

BEHIND THE SIT-INS

only the rebellious mind, the
critical intelligence or the low
ing heart can defy it.
The Price of Segregation
The truth is that our parents
and grandparents paid a terri
BILE price for a security which
they believed segregation could
give them. When they permit
ted the system to be set up,
they did not foresee that emer-
gency measures would be frozen
permanently into state laws.
They did not dream that seq
regation would become a ritual
so sacred that it would be given
priority over the teachings Of
Christ in our churches. They
did not know a time was ahead
when the politician would exert
more moral force than the
preacher. The history OF the
political and social and psyche
logical preSsures that caused
our fathers to blunder in so
tragic a way is too complex to
60 into here. Let us settle for
this: that the price they paid
for security was exorbitant and
their white children are still
paying today. For they have

And some of them are educated
men who think of themselves
as the community's moral and
civic leaders. But the psychic
result has been that deep anx-
iety possesses them and they
feel that any change would be
only for the worse. When they
are asked why they fear the
crumbling Of segregation, they
cannot tell you that what they
really fear is the crumbling OF
the walls inside themselves. In
stead, they talk about inter-
marriage. It makes poor sense,
but they think it explains their
acute anxiety.
But there are other Southern
ers who have changed, who
don't believe in segregation.
And am often asked: why
don't they say so? Some are
speaking out, of course, hum
dreds of them; others want to
but are afraid they will do
"more harm than good" Here,
once again, we have the result
of a rigid, inflexible training in
early childhood, given to us
during a time of panic and
dread. / was born at the turn
of the century when the first
segregation statutes were being
put on the law books of the
Southern states. During the first
ten years of my life there were
almost a thousand lynchings in
the South. It was in this atmos-
phere of terror and brutality, of
internal and external disorder,
that we were taught our lessons
in segregation. No wonder SO
many SouthernerS of my age
cling to it. We were told as
children never to question it,
never to talk about it. This 81
lence that is today SO dangerous
to us and SO puzzling to others
is a built-in silence; its foun-
dations go down to babyhood;
to our mothers hushed WhiS-
pering. There is a hynotic quail
ity about such learning, and

Time To Enlist
For Peace!

For thousands of years men
- and women - have enlisted
for war. Through war they
have sought the things they
priced most-posseSSionS, free
dom, security. And war has
grown constantly more de-
manding, more destructive,
more disappointing in its fail
ure to win what its supporters
sought.
Now war has come to its full
flower. Even the testing of
modern nuclear weapons takes
it's toll, according to the gene
ticists. in the damaged lives of
children to unnumbered gen.
erations. War itself, if it comes,
threatens to destroy civiliza-
ton as we know it, poison vast
areas of the earth, and perhaps
make the world itself unin-
habitable.
How much more do we
need to know that war will not
work.,
It is time to enlist for peace,
and to work as though our
lives depend on it - as in
fact they may. Do these things
today:
Write the President urging
the immediate cessation Of
testing Of nuclear weapons.
Write to the address below
for more information on how

"A loaded gun is no more dan
gerous than half-loaded driver"
Clifford T. Foster. Jr., president of
the Delaware Safety Council, as
serted yesterday. For one thing,
the driver isn't recognized as a
lethal weapon.
Mr.. Foster pointed out that
drinking drivers and drinking pc
destrians are more prevalent dur
ing the holiday season than at any
other time of the year and said
they make driving dangerous for
everyone.
The safety official urged all
drivers to do two things for safe
ty:
1. Refrain from driving after
drinking.
2. Exercise extreme caution in
recognition of the increased dan
gers of the holiday season.
The hazards of drinking drivers
and pedestrians, night driving, and
speeding by merrymakers all con-
tribute to the dangers of the sea-
son.

Governor Calls
Attention To 1860
(continued from nage onel

and added his heartfelt thanks
to those who ''by their activities,
have helped make their commun-
tiles and their state better places
in which to live.
Apparently referring to the 'See
the First State-First-in '60'
tourism promotion campaign, Gov
ernOr Boggs noted that "in 1860,
Delaware and Delawareans will
be hosts to the greatest influx of
visitors in the long, proud history
of the First State, and urged
that ''the warm welcome that is
traditional with residents of the
First State" be extended to these
guests.
Governor Boggs concluded his
traditional message by wishing all
Delawareans "a happy, healthy and
prosperous New Year"
The full text of the message
follows:
Within a few hours, 1859 will
make its departure and a brave
New Year will be with US"
while 1859 brought us some dis
appointments, trials and tribula-
tions, it also produced many bright
moments.
ION the whole, our people have
been happy and prosperous; en-
ployment has remained at a high
level; industry has continued to
expand; retail sales have remain
ed steady; school and highway
construction have gone forward; /;
and public services have been ex-
panded in a continuing effort to
meet the varied needs of rapidly
increasing population.
Our program has been due, in
large measure, to the many Della
wareans, who, by their activities,
have helped make their communi-
ties and their state better places
in which to live. To these-and to
all those who have served in re-
sponsible positions on state COM
missions, boards and committees
directly concerned with our well
fare and progress-I offer by heart
felt thanks.
"In 1860, Delaware and Della
wareans will be hosts to the great
cts influx of visitors in the long,
proud history of the First State
We will be called upon to share
our historic shrines, our recre-
ational facilities, our many other
attractions, with peoples from all
parts of the Free World. We have
an obligation to take all necessary
steps to insure Delaware appear
ing at it's very best to these visi-
tors; it is also encumbent upon
us to extend to these, our guests,
the warm welcome that is tradi-
tional with residents of the First
State.
when our General Assembly
recOnvenes on January 4 it will be
confronted with many problems
problems that can be resolved by
the placing of the public good
ahead of all differences, political
and otherwise.
There is much to be done in the
new year and together, all of us,
working in the public interest, can
accomplish all these things and
make Delaware, in 1860, not only
the First State in the order OF
states but first in every field OF
endeavor.
ITO all Delawareans, at home
and abroad, go my most sincere
wishes for happy, healthy and
prosperous New Year" A.

The throttle and the bottle were
a big reason why TAO persons were
killed in traffic accidents over last
Christmas weekend and 470 more
over the New Year weekend, Mr..
Foster said. A recent study of
death during a Christmas holiday
showed drinking drivers were in
volved in 55 per cent of the fatal
mishaps, although normally they
are involved in around 20 per cent.
Speed was factor in S5 per cent,
compared with an annual average
of 35 per cent.
The most common driver action
contributing to fatal accidents was
driving on the wrong side of the
road or in the center of the road.
Failure to observe a signal or stop
sign was second. Mechanical fail
ure or tire blowouts were respon-
sible for only four of the fatal
accidents studied.
Seventy-five per cent of the acci-
dents happened during dark hours,
between D. m. and a. m.

Each year the country experiences about 1877 tornadoes with
March, April, May and June usually having the greatest per-

a good time to do more to make
lives and property safer from fire.
Three fire safeguards can save
a major part Of the farm fire loss
each year. Buildings and equip
ment kept clean and in working
order seldom burn, Marks points
out, stressing inspection and main
tenance. Check buildings, equip
ment, machinery and woodlands
for fire hazards and eliminate
them. Frequently the local fire
department is glad to help point
out places where fires may start.
Marks stresses having safe and
effective fire fighting equipment
ready to use in or near farm
homes and buildings, automobiles,
trucks and tractors. If practical,
build roadways to farm ponds to
make them accessible to fire
