Too Much Play?

HE recent police arrests of Is county teen-agers,
coupled as they with many similar incidents
here and elsewhere constitute an indictment of
ciety
These are not mere children, unable to distinguish
between right and wrong Their ages range from 13 to
is years certainly old enough to realize the conse-
quences of their acts.
While the offenses of these future citizens may not
have been major ones they nevertheless portray alarm
ing lack of responsibility and respect for authority And
what makes 1t is their excuse of having moth
ing to do"
There may be some who will defend what occurred
as the overeuberant acts of youngsters bursting with
energy These apologiss for youthful mayhem are al
ways with But it is difficult to dismiss so lightly the
blatant theft of articles from department store the de-
facing of rest and the damaging of outdoor tele
phone booths.
youth Is awabidng serelant and possessing sufficient
initiative to find constructive things with which pass
their time But apparently these traits either
existent have not been encouraged in too many young
sters.
For lack of something to do, they steal and commit
acts of vandalism, oenses for which adults probably
would be sentenced to prison.
Socologists tell that teen-agers travel in gangs
and break the law in order to assert their individuality
Teenagers want to be recognized told and that
Is why they commit crimes.
In New York, recreation centers grow apace = but
the directors complain they can't get the boys and girls
off the streets to come into the centers.
Here in Montgomery County, there more than
score OF recreation centers many of them in the heavily
populated Wheaton Rockville Yet Is teen-agers
found nothing to do and had to break the law for enter
tainment.
Why is this? Why is it that juvenile court judge
during European trip found juvenile delinquency
sharply on the downgrade and little emphasis
gained recreation and entertainment for the youth
One of the answers perhaps the major one, accord
ing to the judge was the lack of emphasis play and
instead, stress hard work, both in the classroom and
at home.
The children treated adults and encouraged
to assume an adults role in society quickly possible
the judge discovered
Perhaps such formula should be tried here. It is
obvious that have permitted the lure of material gains
to dim the light of moral values which this great
nation was founded and which have lifted to the pin
nace of civilization.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1960-03-03
Reporters View
It's Speedy Enough
On Veirs Mill I'd.

An editorial feature in the Sentinel not
long ago called for higher speed limits on
Veirs Mill rd. based on government statistics
tending to show fewer accidents occur at
greater speeds.
I think the 35.mile-an-hour speed limit
on most of Veirs Mill I'd. is plenty fast
enough
In the first place, 10000 cars use the road
every day. In the second place, most of the
road is hemmed in with two of the county's
most populated subdivisions: Wheaton and
Veirs Mill Village.
In the third place, traffic statistics cited
are fine, as far as they go, but they don't go
far enough or relate specifically to the kind
of road we're talking about.
The report mentions that it was based
on "37 billion vehicles-miles of travel and
accidents involving 10000 vehicles" 1t said
$4,000 interviews with drivers were made
But-and this is big but think-the
report went on to say that the 600 miles of
highways observed in the II states surveyed
had driving conditions typical of those exist
ing on most main, rural highways throughout
the u. S."
And, the authors of the report said, high
ways with no speed limits were tested in
order to observe how fast an average driver
would go under normal conditions
Well, veirs Mill I'd. isn't main, rural
highway. It's a main suburban street. for
most of its length
The Public Roads Administration report
says fewer accidents happen at higher speeds.
1t also says, Speeds must be related to con-
ditions i. ;" and, THE finding that moderately
high speeds are associated with the lowest
accident rates on highways, properly engineer
ed for accommodation of high speed, is of
much significance :"
