DHYSICS in the first grade?
iii Why not? ask modern educators. Why not
take advantage of the lively curiosity of small
children about the world around them to
begin introducing them to the basic principles
of the natural universe?
Pilot projects such as the elementary
science center at Somerset School.
Montgomery County, financed by State and
Federal funds under Title of the National
Defense Education Act, are setting the pace
for enrichment of classroom studies.
At the science center, Somerset children
have been combining the fun of raising bees
and ants and tropical plants and using sclen
tific equipment with learning Supervisors
teachers and principals are studying the re-
suits, writing study courses and training
teachers in the new materials.
AS a result, all elementary schools in the
county will be supplied this fall with new
materials and equipment for science teaching
I'VE propose to introduce the children
from kindergarten through sixth grade to
nearly all phases of science" says Miss
Etheleen Daniel elementary supervisor.
That includes plants and animals, the
earth its structure and materials, and areas
beyond the earth-spac travel astronomy, We
are now placing more emphasis on some OF
the physical sciences, such as magnetism
electricity and astronomy. We will take
closer look at the problems of conservation,
and are writing courses in the area OF chemical
changes and activities
An important function of the science
center is to try out new materials before
they are placed in the schools. 1t also is
equipped with an excellent library of books

for teachers as we'll as for children. There
are slides and basic audio-visual materials
as we'll.
We also plan to use lot of consultants"
saws Miss Daniel. especially fathers of the
children who are scientists. We make tapes
of the scientists talks and use them over and
over"
An example of the enriched program is
introduction to magnets in the first grade.
The children are given variety OF magnets
to illustrate differences in sizes, shapes and
strength.
In the concept of magnet, you'll never
really feel that force until you get it in your
hands" Miss Daniel explains. magnetic
science for children must be a first-hand
experience.
fifth-grade group at Somerset has been
looking after bees and ants and the aquaria.
One committee has been studying humidity
in terrarium of sub-tropical plants. Fifth
graders studied oceanography for the first
time last year
Another advantage of the broadened
science program will be the opportunity for
more able children to carry out individual
projects.
This spring, for example, lO-yearold Terry
dePaul conducted special experiment on
potential energy. To determine how long
stored-up power would run steam engine,
he used small engine, electricity and water.
Terry tested his hypothesis that the average
run would be about three minutes by running
the steam engine with electricity for about
two minutes. then unplugglrg it and timing
the run He repeated the experiment five
times. His finding: Two minutes SO seconds

but wound up third. The Wild
cats again enter the tourney

/ John McNelis, who has
coached wrestling at North
western since the school started
the sport nine years ago, has
a few outstanding boys en-
tered in the tourney.
Most of McNelis' boys are
from the football team. One
standout is Eddie Johnson, an
All-Suburban Maryland center
who is unbeaten in four
matches as heavyweight. He
is 81 in the 177-pound class.
Wrestling in different
weights by one participant is
not unusual in high schools.
ITS tough getting these
boys in shape" McNelis said
but even tougher keeping
them that way. Holding their
weight is the big problem"
Most Of them follow a pretty
strict diet during the season
Dehydrating Just before a
match usually will reduce any
surplus.
Other top performers for
Northwestern include Bill
CheSley in the 105-pound class
unbeaten in seven matches, all
won by pins; Doug Jones in the
l20-pound class and John
Hamilton in the 1877.
/ Northwood, although entered
for the first time, has a vet.
eran coach and a seasoned
performer.
The coach is Bob McNelis
brother Of Northwestern's
John. Bob coached the sport
for four years at Lewistowr
(Pa.) High School. His stal
pupil is Jim Donaldson, a sen.
ior, who wrestled for three
years for McNeliS at Lewis.

There are other stars from

Unlike the professional va
riety, high school wrestling is
looked upon as a sport and not
a show.
The increasing popularity of
the sport in area high schools
is reflected in the number now
engaged at varsity, junior var
sity and intramural levels.
Only recently Fairfax Coun-
ty schools made wrestling a
part of their physical education
program. Some two dozen
schools are participating in the
sport now. twice as many as
last year. Another indication of
the growth Of wrestling is the
entries in the Metropolitan
tournament to be held tomor-
row and Saturday at North
western High School.
This years tourney is the
eighth, and each year the
number of entries has increased
The first year, 1858, only six
teams participated. Last year
there were IL and this year
there are 16.

The 1877 acre recreation
area that the Boiling Air Force
Base Officers Club is developing
about seven miles below War
renton will include an 18-hole
golf course, now under con-
struction. and at least an addi-
tional nine that will be added
later.
This project is being financed
entirely from non-appropriated
funds. 1t is being developed
primarily for Air Force and
other service officers in the
area, and should be particu-
larly attractive to those who
live in Virginia.
Five of the 18 holes that are
covered with timber are being
cleared. The target date for
play on the first l8 is the late
summer of 1861. The architects,
Eddie Ault and AL Jamison, al
ready have a golf course super
intendent, Dave Canavan, on
the site.
Miller Chief Figure
The man behind the under
taking is Col. Edwin B. Miller,
jr., commander of Boiling AFB.
and former Chief of Staff for
Headquarters, USAF, in Europe.
The recreation area even
tually will include boys and
girls camps, a skeet range,
hunting, horseback riding and
fishing areas, lakes for non
! power boats. etc.
The area is about 60 miles
from Boiling, SIS from the Pen
tagon, perhaps too far to travel
for a round of golf. But the
charm of the recreation area
will be the quarters for week.
end guests. 1t will be a family
playground from Friday eve
ming until time to return to
work Monday morning. That's
the object.
Two Large Lakes
The plot is the Clark Ranch,
on the Rappahannock River.
An 8-acre lake will be built
near the teeing area of the
three mines, and a 15-acre lake
away from the golf course. A
stream the width of an average
room winds through several of
the holes.
The golf course is by no
means secondary to the project.
Our objective is to make it
one of the finest" Col. Miller
said. It's going to be a par II,
about $500 yards from the
regular tees and $3.50 from the
tournament tees. Bermuda

Tax Reduction

II President-elect Kennedy
tries to cut taxes as a means of
countering the economic down.
turn, as the Democratic plat
form proposed. he is going to
run into stone wall resistance
from Senator Harry F. Byrd,
Democrat Of Virginia.
Senator Byrd made that clear
yesterday in saying any action
to cut taxes that would result
in a budget deficit would be
the worst thing we could do"
The Virginian heads the
Finance Committee which would
have to pass on any tax reduc-
ton. He opposed many things
in the Democratic platform and
did not indorse Senator Ken
nedy for the presidency.
Senator Kennedy said during
the presidential campaign that
a temporary reduction in some
taxes should be considered II
the business recession he con-
tended was under way then
should deepen this winter.
Backed by Economists
Since the election several
economists have told a Senate
House committee surveying
economic conditions that taxes
should be cut If unemployment
goes beyond 6 million. In No
vember the total was 4,031 900.
Senator Byrd. in opposing
the tax cut proposal, based his
opinion in an interview on a
study in Europe this fall of the
drain on Americas gold supply
"a problem Senator Kennedy
will inherit from the Eisen-
hover administration.
IF we 60 into any deficit A.
nancing it is going to UNDER
mine further the already weak
ened confidence abroad in the
dollar" Senator Byrd said. 1T
would be almost certain to re-
suit in q further flight Of gold.
"Piling up deficits is no
longer merely Q matter Of add
ing to our national debt. II we
don't protect the position Of the
dollar In world exchange, we
would be courting disaster"
6 Million Jobless Seen
A labor union economist,
meanwhile, told a Senate Labor
Subcommittee yesterday the
country "can expect about six
million unemployed workers" in
the next few months.
That would be an increase of
nearly two million over the
November unemployment esti-
mates by the Labor Depart
ment.
The economy is now in a
recession" Stanley H. Rutten-
berg, director of research for
