Open Lefter to Council

lam amazed and disappointed
that you would so disregard the
expressed opinion of the resi-
dents of Montgomery County
(as indicated in the public hear
ing on the bill) as to vote for
the probably unconstitutional,
and certainly unnecessary, Sole
itors' Law recently passed by
the Montgomery County Coun-
ell. AS you undoubtedly remem-
Der, only one person was inter-
ested enough to appear at the
public hearing and speak in
favor of any such law, while
well over a hundred opposed 1t.
In 1859, Field Enterprises Ed
ucational Corporation paid its
employees living IN Montgomery
County 1929, 464.58. I dc not
know the statistics, but / mag
Inc that there are few private
companies in Montgomery
County with a payroll of over
a quarter of a million dollars a
year. In view of the extreme
ly high real estate tax rate in
Montgomery County, I should
think the Council would be in
terested in encouraging business
of this size, rather than III pass
ing unnecessary hampering and
restrictive laws. If there Is any
possibility that this law would
reach the lawless element, there
might be some excuse for 1t,
but is there anyone in Montgom-
cry County on or off the
Council - so naive as to believe
that the group this law Is aimed
al will pay any more attention
to it than they do to the multi
tude of existing laws? This
lew is a perfect example of a
farmer burning down his barn
to get rid of a rat.
Mr.. Hardy stated at the pub
lie hearing that not a single
complaint had been registered
against the employees of Field
Enterprises Educational Corpo-
ration or against the employees
of dozen other reputable com.
panies represented at the hear
ing. These employees, as well
as many other heavily burdened
citizens of Montgomery County,
await a reasonable explanation
for this useless law. A lame,
vague, improbable reference to
phone calls and letters" will not
do. What is the purpose of a
public hearing, If no attention
is paid to the expressed opin-
ions?

THIS graduation week is good time to call attention to
the fact that we have here in Montgomery County
what Charles Dickens called Juvenile nobility"
OF course, we are reminded many times of the oppo-
site group known juvenile delnquents. Unfortunately
their way of life seems to get attention than the
juvenile nobility.
We rather suspect, however, that many of us give
lot of thought to those young people composing the vast
majority of their generation who decent law abiding
teachers engineers poets and politicians of tomorrow
In almost every school of the county this week there
has gathered of the most enthusiastic young people
with high ideals and hopes unspoied God bless them and
may their futures be bright, healthy and profitable.

The corby Zoning

It has happened again in
Montgomery County! The in
terests of the many have been
ignored in the interest of the
few. In a 4-3 precedent-setting
decision, the Council voted yes
terday to grant permission to
build high density apartments
on a so acre tract in a prime
residential area of Bethesda. The
beneficiaries of this decision are
one Mr.. Karl Corby. Jr. and
Mrs. ]. Newton Brewer, wife of
the "disinterested" Mr.. Brewer

Another Step Forward

THE Rockville Housing Authority and the City Council
to be commended for taking definite steps in the
development of another low-renta housing project
This project to be located near the present Lin
coin Terrace housing development, will help fulfill the

of the communitys substandard housing units so that
they can be eliminated without creating housing short

We hope the Housing Authority learned many les
sons from its experience with the construction of the first

recall the long delay and the prodding that necessary

not be repeated.

your reasoning in eliminating
newspaper solicitors from the

newspaper man of many years
experience recently told me that
crews, little different from the
magazine salesman crews so
frequently mentioned in discus
sions of this law, 60 from state

Also, I would call to your at
tention that nothing in this law
protects the citizens of Mont
gomery County against financial
loss; and that Field Enterprises
Educational Corporation, as well
as many other reliable COM
panies, furnish bond to reim-
burse any citizen who suffers
loss as a result of the activities
Of one of their employees. =
I, therefore, first as a resident
of Montgomery County unalter-
ably opposed to any unneces-
sary laws - and especially to
any laws restricting or hamper
ing legitimate private enter
prise = and, secondly, as divi-
sion manager Of Field Enter
prises Educational Corporation,
respectfully request that you
and the other members of the
Montgomery County Council
take q serious second look at
this law (whose only effecT will
be to drive legitimate business
out of Montgomery County, and
veto it before it not only loses
the County revenue, but gets
the County involved in costly
false arrest damage suits.

ness" The students at Stuart
try to live up to this creed.
The fighting school colors
Of green and white are well
expressed through our fear

have just completed a very
successful season of II wins
and only l defeat.
There is excellent co-op-
Grafton between students and
teachers, not only in the
classroom but in extra-cur-
ricular activities such as
plays, programs and other
events. This was demon
strated in our Christmas play.

faculty participated. This
also was witnessed at our two
student-faculty games. In the
first game the male faculty
defeated the boys basketball
team. but in the second game

the women faculty.
The enthusiasm of the en-

IT'S Tops

Scholastically Stuart is
"tops," offering both aca-
demic and com m ercial
courses. Stuart also has a
chapter of the National Jun
ior Honor Society. The Alex
ander TAFT Stuart chapter of
the society was founded in
1945. We hold our induction
ceremony annually in the
spring. At this time, students
who represent the five quail
tiles for membership are in
Quoted. These qualities include
leadership, character, citizen
ship, service, and scholarship.
Members serve as ushers and
guides at various school
events. They also present sew
eral programs on the loud
speaker system and various
discussions on many topics.
At Stuart we have several
awards and honors. The OAR
and American Legion medals
are presented to the four out
standing ninth graders at
graduation time. The school
letter is given to the out
standing students in each
grade. 1t is earned by par
ticipating in the extra-cur-
ricular activities and by ex-
hibiting good citizenship. To
us Stuartites, the Stuart IS"
is the highest honor any Stu
art student can receive. In
achieving his school letter, a
Stuart student has reached
his goal and fully lived up to
the school creed.

chosen representatives from
all sections meet as our stu
dent council. Members take
part in debates and discus
sions over the various hap
penings of the school. Also
meeting on Friday afternoon
is our journalism club spon-
sored by the head of Stuart's
English department. Four
times annually the club puts
out the school newspaper, the
Stuart Observer.
This year the Stuart OBJ
server received national hon.
ors in the Columbia Press
Project in connection with
the tuberculosis association,
with its articles on the cam
paign against tuberculosis.
Members of the journalism
club also are looking forward
to taking a trip to the Eve
ming Star Building to see a

Through our chapter of the
National Junior Red Cross,
students get the feeling of
helping others less fortunate
than themselves. Right now,
the chapter is busily filling
overseas boxes.

motto. and flourish, Stuart
Junior High School at Fourth
and E streets NE, truly has.
Since the opening of Stuart
in May. 1927. the school has
continued to grow under
three different principals. 1t
has provided educational op-
portunities to thousands OF
boys and girls close to the
Nations Capitol.
After opening at Fourth
and E 33 years ago, Stuart
rapidly expanded, SO much
so that an east wing was
added in 1881. However, in
1882, the enrolment again
exceeded the capacity of the
building. 1t was necessary to
use several rooms of the old
Carberry School. the school
Stuart had been built to re-
place. That is all changed
now. Happily, there is now
adequate room for all.

GRAYBILL HAPPY OVER
GRAZING LANDS NEWS

Great Falls - Leo Graybin Jr.,
Democratic congressional nominee,
said here this week he is appalled,
to hear Vice President Nixon
favors turning over millions of
acres of Observation-Disclosures
land to the states"
Graybill, in a statement released
from his campaign headquarters
here, referred to a newspaper story
in which retiring Democratic Sen.
James E. Murray of Montana was
quoted as saying Nixon supports
a proposal to turn over to the
states grazing lands now admins
tered by the federal government.
Sen. Murray said there are ATT
million acres of such lands which
would be taken from the govern
ment and "from all the people of
the nation to whom they belong"
if the proposal became law.
Graybill, his party's nominee
for Congress from Montaa's Sec
ond district said, "The proposal,
stripped of DISCUSSES, represents
another attempt by special inter-
est groups to have public land
placed under jurisdiction of state
agencies sensitive to their wishes.
"Then the private interests
could move on the public domain
lands to exploit them for their
particular benefit" the Great
Falls Democrat asserted.
