adopted Japanese Girl
Takes Doth As Citizen

A six-year-old Tokyo girl
who at first was not sure
she wanted to give up her
birthright was among "a
adults and children who be-
came naturalized American cit
zens Monday in Montgomery
County Circuit Court.
She was Lisa Takagi Cotton
GIN, adopted daughter of Air
Force Captain and Mrs. ]. E.
Cottongim, 100000 Montrose
ave., Bethesda.
Her adaptive parents found
Lisa in Tokyo, January 1856,
while Capt. Cottongim served
as assistant director of educa-
ton for military dependents in
that city.
They wanted a girl first, and
now they hope to go to Europe
soon and adopt two boys. Con.
cerned that Lisa should be
proud of her japanese heritage,
Capt. and Mrs. Cottongim made
sure that Lisa learned about
her homeland.
One result was that when the
time came for the child to un-
dertake studies for American
citizenship, she told them she
wasn't really sure she wanted
to become an American. She
changed her mind, however.
Lisa is enrolled in the first
grade at the Garrett Park Ele-
mentary School. She left court

miniature American and Mary
land flags.

I his landowner friends.
Stonesifer claims that because
of the word-of-mouth process,
many other farmers have con-
tacted the Commission and en-
rolled in the program.
The Commission hopes to do
two things by this plan. Get
more farmers to open their
land to a limited number of gen
eral sportsmen. And, build bet
ter relationship between the
hunter and the farmer. So far
it looks like the idea is working.
Skeet HonOrs
Four present or former ALI
American skeet shooters were
recently named to the first All
Maryland team chosen by the
Maryland Skeet Association.
Those who made the five
member team included local ex-
pert, John c. Dalton, Chevy

Wright, Baltimore, John Din
ming, Ruxton, Charles Allen,
Towson and Ed Calhoun, Sails

Katharine Dining, of Ruxton,
wife of John, and presently
captain of the All American
Women's team, was chosen the
only member of the AL Mary
land ladies unit.
The 1860 skeet shooting
achievement awards were voted
to DR.. c. H. Metcalfe, Sudlers-
vile, Ercell Dove, Salisbury, and
David l.. Brooks, Towson; all
senior shooters. L. Anne Hook

Chevy Chase, took ladies'
achievement awards, and John
B. Pearson, Jr., Chevy Chase,
received the junior achievement
award.

The farm game program that
is being carried on by the Game
Commission with two ideas in
mind. To make the farmer
happy, and give the gunner a
place to hunt. That it has been
successful can be determined by
the increasing number of farm
ers who have enrolled in the
plan.
Briefly, the program is hand
led this way. A Maryland Game
and Inland Fish Commission
employee contacts the farmer
and explains the idea. The farm
er is asked to allow limited
number of licensed hunters to
enjoy their sport on his land.
He can refuse those he chooses,
but is required to allow some
hunting.
In return, the Commission is
permitted by the landowner to
do some game habitat improve
ment work. This is in the form
of multiflora rose fences, brush
piles and cover patches, and
planting of game food mixes.
Sometimes the farmer helps in
the cultivation of the game
foods, but, the Commission
often plows and plants the seed.
Signs are placed around the
property indicating the farmer
is cooperating with the Game
Commission and sportsmen in a
controlled hunting program.
According to Elwood Stone
sifer, region two game manage
ment man, this program has
made the sportsmen more aware
that he should ask the farmer
for permission to hunt. Because
the farmer has more control
over those who are hunting on
his land, he's happier and tells

The tall, 177-pound senior, re-
covered a Bob Williams tumble
to halt a Sherwood threat deep
in his own territory in the final
period. Several plays later half
back Jackie Holland moved to
the Sherwood 26. On third
down, Fisher got behind the
Sherwood defenders to take a
pass from quarterback Jimmy
Ward to score the winning
touchdown with las left to go
in the game.
After the kickoff Sherwood
was moving again as fullback
Williams, who paced the losers
with over 100 yards gained,
nearly broke away. Tailback
Jerry Hurley tried to hit End
Phil Burroughs on a pass but
Fisher intercepted on the Gath
ersburg 30 to preserve the vic
tory.
Thus the team which Coach
John Harvill said at the begin
ming of the season would be
lucky to win "two or three ball
games" produced one of the
schools best records, six wins,
two losses and a tie. The Tro-
JAMS two defeats were at the
hands of Richard Montgomery
and st. Stephens, both rated
among the top scholastic teams
in the Metropolitan area.
Sherwood started the contest
as if it were threatening to
make a runaway of the game.
The Warriors drove 70 yards
with the opening kickoff with
Williams scoring from the 6.
After Phil Burroughs intercept
ed a pass Sherwood was moving
again and drove this time to the
14-yard line where Gaithersburg
held.
John Schwartz attempted a
field goal from about the %. 1t
was a booming kick high up
over the uprights apparently
heading for three points when
the ball struck an electric wire
strung high across the field
near the goal and bounced
harmlessly to the ground.
Gaithersburg seemed to take
new life from the peculiar play
and drove go yards for a score
with Holland cracking across
from the /. John Morton kick
ed the point and it was a tie ball
game.
At the start of the third
period Gaithersburg couldn't
move the ball and Sherwood
was driving again. The War
riors moved inside the Gathers
burg twenty and the Trcjans
stiffened. With fourth down and
inches to go, Sherwood called on
Williams for an offtackle slant
and the Gaithersburg line rose
up and hit him in his tracks for
a yard loss. Sherwood general

Little evidence of that was

But there were those who
felt dissatisfied. That view was
expressed by Joseph Witherell,
a California college student
who said at one forum during
the voting:
I'VE have all worked hard in
these work groups in formu-
lating our recommendations.
They have been so watered
down that they have lost many
of the points we particularly
wanted to make. l would like
to ask why they have been cut
down so much?"
He was answered by Mrs.
Charles U. Culmer, the forum

made in good faith to reduce
the number of recommenda-
tions, she said, but there was
no intent to dilute them.

The Council of National Or

Representatives of the nearly
600 national groups compris-

work "begins now to make the

Children and Youth, which
would be the official follow-up
group for the conference, as

making preliminary plans for
the next one in 1870.
