Thanksgiving

THANKSGIVING is time of nostalgia. More than any
other season Of the year. it seems, our thoughts turn
to the past to dwell with delight the sort OF delight tna
sometimes brings lump to the throat - on the joys OF
what has been.
We remember the trips to Grandmother's, where we
were greeted by verabe thousands of aunt unces and
cousins Does anything call to mind memories than
to mention eating at second table?
And wasn't it great day when we were finally
selected to ion the group at first table? 1t little less
than heaven to realize that the entire turkeys white meat
portions were only two three places away down the
table and that for the first time we had left the ranks OF
dark meat eaters.
The familiar odors that pervaded the dining room -
indeed the entire house never failed to bring smiles OF
ioy to seemingly bottomess boy. Then to think that
whole sideboard of desserts there simply for the ask
ing with not restriction requesting seconds Tin fact
Grandmother insisted there something wrong with
boy who couldn't eat all she wanted to force onto MS
plate) = it was real paradise.
All that was followed by the great period of the
afternoon when only the little children could find the
strength to STIR Shores from practically every
chair in the big living room and beds all the house
were occupied by female relatives tired out from the full
morning Of preparation and the afterdnner chores of
cleaning up.
In those days. we tell ourselves, Thanksgiving
real time of giving thanks for bountful blessings
Wonderful memories they are = but they raise a
question, question facing all, knowingly or mknow-
ingy.
Will our children remember Thanksgiving with the
same sort of feeling that the day holds for us? In
desire to recapre the joys of our own past are we
neglecng the tradition should be building for them?
For most of U.s. suburban living poses entirely differ
ent situations for our children. trip to Grandmothers
often impossible If it is possible it is simply through
city streets to another suburban home
Just how to instin the real joys of Thanksgiving to
provide the foundations of tradition the
lies only with your family.
Rest assured however there must be In
that answer lies the future Of nation.

According TO Smith
Shoot En- Down
Like Mad Dogs !.

Two headlines in the same edition of a
Washington newspaper over the weekend
served to add fuel to our burning conviction
that on occasions, we Americans are just too
darned civilized.
One read: Fear Grips Area After Boy
Staying"
The other said: "Slayer's Hospital Re
lease Approved"
We feel quite sure most readers are cog
infant Of the implication of the first-that at
large somewhere in the Washington area is
sadsticallyvicious death of small seven
year.old boy whose fate has shocked every
one having a semblance of humanity in his
makeup.
The second, less conspicuous, told of the
release from a mental hospital of slayer
who had been acquitted of murder on the
grounds of insanity. There was no doubt
whatsoever about his involvement in the vic.
TINS death, but because he was deemed to
be OF unsound mind, he was acquitted of
the formal charge of murder; now, he has
been turned loose on society because he has
recovered from his mental illness to the ex.
tent that he is not considered dangerous Gin
the foreseeable future"
Put the two headlines together and they
paint a pretty dismal picture.
Almost certainly they mean that when
the slayer of the Condetti boy is apprehend
ed, he'll be tried and found insane. then

loving treatment Nothing less than a maniac

Higher Edueofion

controversy continues to rage two conflicting
proposals for improving the programs of Maryland
teachers colleges the Montgomery County Board of Edu
cation has come up with what looks like sensible ap
proach to the problem
Approving neither the Warfeld Commissions plan
to have the colleges set up branches of the Unver
sy OF Maryland the State Board of Educatons pro-
posal to retain control the local board has suggested
full denomination of the overall program of higher ed
cation in the State with view to strengthening where
needed 1t also suggests creation of individual boards
Of trustees for each of the teachers colleges under the
guidance OF general coordinang commission, and calls
for closer look at the junior college program
1t seems obvious that neither side is willing to give
any substantial ground in the Warfeld CommssoState
board dispute and if anything is to be done to improve
our higher educational program of compromise
seems desirable. The countys board program would ap
pear to provide the basis for such compromise
And, as the number Of junior colleges in the State
continues to grow there to be real need for pay
ing closer attention to their programs that they can
be coordinated with those of the senior colleges
In the interest Of making the best possible college
education available to high school graduates within the
State we hope School officials will give the suggestion
some thought Of ending conflict that so far
has stood as barrier to any progress whatsoever

Groups Here Looking
For Frontiers Too!
An Opinion

President-elect John F. Kennedy isn't the
only one looking toward new frontiers.
Right here in Maryland and in the coun-
ty there are several individuals and groups
with new fresh ideas and ways of executing
them.
Republican leaders in the State will be
given serious thoughts concerning new from.
tiers for the Grand Old Party.
David Scull, who has resigned chairman
ship of the Montgomery County Republican
Committee, has ideas which should be palat-
able to State political leaders, especially if
they want their Republican Party in the
State to be winning one in 1862
There are many young and intelligent per-
sons in State politics with basic plans on how
elections can be won. They are ready to 60
forward They are not satisfied to be the So
called minority party and take the minority
role in way of jobs on commissions, etc.
MIR. Soul removed himself from the local
leadership in the COP for at least two very
good reasons. First of ALL he isn't going to
seek reelection on the Committee and there
fore, believes it wise for success to get the
benefit of the experience that the next few
months could bring. Secondly, he doesn't
want to become target for possible repeat
OF the 1858 Republican Primary which be-
came right bitter He knows Republicans are
not so plentiful they can afford any type of
split and have any hope of winning a State
or County election in 1862.
Furthermore, Dave Scull sees the posi-
biity of victory in the State for the Repub-
licans if any real effort is exerted to organ
ize on sound political basis
Maryland Democrats aren't sitting stiIl
either.

Thanksgiving-Our Own
Pure Bred Holiday
County Law

The writings of President Lincoln are be-
coming more and more part of the English
language. His address delivered upon the
plains of Gettysburg, his speech upon the
occasion of his second inaugural and his
Proclamation against slavery are all words
which will endure as long as the English
language is spoken.
His Thanksgiving Day Proclamation is
not well known. However 1t is good literature
and it is suited to this time of year. He pro-
claimed the last Thursday of November as
Thanksgiving Day Just one week after his
address at Gettysburg. In part he said as
follows:
The year that Is drawing toward its
close has been filled with the blessings of
fruitful fields and beautiful skies. To these
bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed
that we are prone to forget the source from
which they come, others have been added
which are of so extraordinary a nature that
they cannot fail to penetrate and soften the
heart which is habitually insensible to the
ever-watchful providence of almighty God"
In the midst of civil war of unequalled
magnitude and severity, which has sometimes
seemed to foreign states to invite and pro-
woke their aggressions, peace has been pre-
served with all nations, order has been main.

obeyed, and harmony has prevailed every.

Letters to the Sentinel

There is nothing normal about
their exaggerated behavior In
such an atmosphere. They are
putting on an act but there are
better ways for children to have
the experience of performing
before an audience. There are
better ways for them to be OBJ
served. School is not a side
show playing a five day stand
from 100000. It is a complex,
expensive organization stated
by professional people trying to
turn out a worthwhile product
at your request. Teaching and
learning at best, are delicate and
intricate processes. Nothing
should be allowed to throw them
off balance for even an hour.
Schools are not in the restau-
rant business. Cafeterias staff
ed and equipped to serve 700
children should not be asked to
prepare for an equal or greater
number of visitors. Their re-
sponsibility is to the student
body and faculty.
There are better ways to rec
ognize American education that
to deliberately sabotage the
very thing we mean to extol.

leaders who know that it is time for them to
act or forever hold their peace. They have
taken chapter from the book of the Ken
nedy crowd.
Maryland Democrats have been ruled,
more or less, by the same leaders who took
over right after World War I. But the young.
err men most in their forties - believe the
time has come to show the top leadership
they are capable of extending.
There are those in the State among the
alert and intelligent younger Democrats who
will not sit back and wait to see what Gov
ernor Tawes intends to do two years from
now. Furthermore, Governor Tawes may
have to fight for second term if he insists
upon running again.
Younger Democrats like the idea of q
young man in the White House. And this
does not imply they don't like older leaders.
But they feel that unless they act now their
rightful leadership will not be gained. Even
younger men will grab the ball and run with
it if they allow the old school boys to con.
tinue in the important posts.
Be prepared for lot of Democratic in
fighting. It's coming just as sure as the
election in 1862.
In Montgomery County there is a group
that won't organize formally. They won't
adopt bylaws. There will be no dues. There
will be no big meetings But this small
group of intelligent men and women will
fasten their eyes and ears on School Board
activities for the next two years. They will
watch every move so they will have all of the
facts and figures to present during the School
Board election in 1862. A majority of four
seats will have to be filled and this group
has started its campaign for them at the
earliest possible date.

but suspect that the Commission bruised and battered by
its critics during recent months would like very much to
have some of the respect and prestige rub off on it.
However, Mr. Bartholomew has reputation a
who does not give his opinions lightly Ut is quite pos
sible, therefore, that Mr. Bartholomew judgments may
be rendered in favor of the Commissions critics rather
than the Commissions staff There would be little solace
for the Commission in such circumstances

Court House and now this. OF
course, the building must be
modern and functional, but, at
the same time, it could be made
to conform to the general type
