WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: Last evening. as
my husband and I were watch
ing one of the many political
discussions that TV has fea-
tured in this election year. our
sub-teen daughter suddenly
burst out with: Politics, poll
tics, politics! That's all we
ever hear on television any
more. What does that word
politics mean, anyhow" Well,
we tried to tell her what poll
tics" means today, but 1 don't
think our explanation of its
origin was very satisfactory.
Would you give it a whril?-L.
P. T.. Tacoma. Wash.
Answer: Politics" has its
origin in the Greek words
polls" (city) and "polites"
(citiZen). From the same
source. incidentally. came the
word police.
Originally, then, politics"
meant whatever had to do with
the rights and status of citi-
zen. Gradually it has come to
have at least two clearly de-
fined meanings: The art and
science of government. some
times called political science"
and the day-to-day professional
management of political affairs
from the city precinct to the
White House.
An expert manipulation of
political affairs, especially one
who regards the great game of
politics as his career. is known
as a politician" This word
has always had somewhat un-
savory connotations with, as
one authority puts it, "impli-
cations of seeking personal or
partisan gain" For this reason
even the most skilled political
operators often shun the label
politician" much preferring
to be called Statesmen"
The<press recently reported
one charming exception to this
prevailing rule. however. When
British Transport Minister
Ernest Marples was invited to
talk before pupils of his old
school, he reminisced about the
day on which he received his
first report card. Noting that
the grades left a great deal to
be desired, he first rummaged
through the family attic until
he found one of his fathers
old report cards. He then
handed both cards to his ia
ther. And that" he told the
assembled schoolboys. began
my career as a politician!"

Maryland voters should cast
fish eye at two constitutional
amendments that will be on the
ballot November 8. Amend
ments 10 and IA would validate
farmland assessment" act
like the one that was on the
books for a few years until the
courts ruled it unconstitutional.
The act and amendments were
authored by Delegate Blair Lee
OF Montgomery County.
The act provides that farm
land shall be assessed at its
value in farm use, not at its
actual value, which is often
much higher when the land is
suitable for residential or COM
mercial use. The purpose of the
act is allegedly to preserve open
spaces around cities by enabling
farmers to stay in business
while land values, and therefore
taxes, rise above the level that
farms can support.
The Lee act will not preserve
open spaces. 1t will simply post
pone the subdivision of farm
land for a few years until the
lands value rises so high that

According TO Smith
Juvenile Behavior
In Focus Once Again

Disgraceful as it was, there could hardly
near.riot staged by some county teenagers
who tried to thwart a policeman in his Ell.
fort to fulfill his responsibility by arresting
a disorderly youth last weekend at Wheaton
restaurant.
For the community's sake, of course, 1t
would have been better if the whole thing
hadn't happened. But as long as it did, 1t
seems it came in time to be real eye-opener
for some folks who have an opportunity to
do something constructive about the mount
ing problem of juvenile misbehavior.
The incident-another in the long series
of acts involving juvenile defiance OF law and
order and nonconformity with the accepted
principles of decent behavior-came at time
when members of the Montgomery County
Council were bordering the advisability OF
adopting an anti-loitering law similar to one
that seems to have achieved good results in
Washington.
Despite substantial evidence that ma.
iority of area authorities feel the measure has
merit, the Council accepted it for study just
a little over week ago with indications that
some Council members were dubious about
its actual need. Some of the Councilman
seemed to feel that such a control measure
was a bit drastic and even questioned the
equity of discriminating" against certain
age group.
OK, Councilmen. Maybe this will help
you decide.
Here we have mob of some 200 teen
ayers, according to the police estimate, con-
gregated at restaurant after midnight. Sure,
some of them were over IS years of age,
which would exempt them from provisions
of the proposed lettering law, but a lot OF
them were much younger, including girls OF
IA or Is who took swipes at the police offic-
ers who were called to the scene to restore
order.
And, from all indications, those who did
not engage physically in interference with

School Board Election .

OUR present School Board is composed of seven men,
" bers who seem to possess the general educa-
tona ideooges and thoughts to the best methods OF
administering school affairs.
There is at present opportunity for the people OF
This county to elect to the School Board two
bers who to have somewhat different attitude not
only in educational methods but how the responsibilities
of the Superintendent of Schools should be carried out
1t unfortunate that the election for School Board
members is held during regular election year because
the socaed nonparsan aspect of the candidates gets
lost in the Party campaigns Furthermore IL enables
ingenious persons to form political groups of their own
And sometimes these become more powerful for
single purpose than the regular political organizations
This has happened in Montgomery County.
minority group has been highly successful in elect
ing persons to the School Board who have definite ideo
oges has been able to do this by sheer energy brains
and ability divide up other groups who seemingly have
not the ability or the inclination to get together for uni
fled purpose.
There appears to be weaknesses in the present admin
stration of the Montgomery County School Board And
it is our opinion that or two new members with
sound basic ideas would be asset to the present School
Board They could provide voice that appears to be
needed very badly
It is difficult in a short time and at limited public
appearances distinguish the difference between the cam
ddates However, it has become apparent that the two
retiring members of the School Board Mrs Rose Kramer
land Mrs Helen Schar have heartily endorsed Mrs Maur
and Mrs Kicker persons who have the same thoughts
on education and administration In other words they
belong to the group that controls the School
Board.
On the other hand there several candidates who
seem to represent opposite thinking Outstanding among
these is Charles F. James, attorney who lives in Be-
thesda, who has displayed remarkable ability to get
right to the root of many of the educational and admin
strative problems facing the School Board His voice on
the Board would it to be leavening asset that
should be welcomed not only by those who think along
his lines but by the present Board members. Most pub
lie officials welcome new, fresh and logical viewpoints,
especially if such thinking would help provide the best
possible education for the children of this county.
It has not been the policy of this newspaper to en-
dorse candidates for public office but this occasion
we do not hesitate to recommend Charles F. James be-
believe him to be outstanding man with keen
insight school problems Further believe he will
provide voice that is just bit different and this should
benefit the schools the children and the entire atmos-
phere Of our public educational system.

Winner Nov. 8
An Opinion

1t is our opinion that John r. Foley will
be defeated on November in his bid for re-
election as the Democratic Congressman of
the 9th Maryland district in the House of
Representatives
This flat prediction is based on the follow
ing factors:
First of all, it must be recognized that in
this 9Th district especially, many more per-
sons vote in Presidential year than in So
called off-year. And the figures of past cleo
tons show Republican candidates are recip-
tents of much higher percentage of votes
than Democratic candidates.
For instance, the vote in 1854 Ian off
year,, gave the Republicans 69,658 compared
to 65,760 for the Democrat.
Just two years later in 1856, presidential
election), the Republican defeated the Demo
crat, who, by the way, was John R. Foley by
vote of 100,580 to S4837 The same ratio
was evident in 1852 and 194S, both Presiden-
tial years.
In 1858, John Foley took advantage of the
slump in voting and won over Dewitt Hyde
by about 1890 votes. He also put on good
campaign.

ager by simple majority VOTE rather than the So major
ity required While it is not worded to limit such
action to school expenditures is direct outgrowth of
the managers action in recommending cuts in the school
budgets in recent years and strongly supported by adj
vocates of existing Board of Education policies.
We inclined to lean toward the position of some
conservatives who feel that the County Manager
able and experienced administrative official is the person
most qualified to detect any fat that might require trim

The provision requiring SO vote by the council to
override the managers budget recommendations to

upon the council and yet not too restrictive to prevent
the council from increasing expenses if it becomes APP

There are other questions on the ballot too that
have strong impact on the county and its govern

been given such little attention to date 1t is suggested
that county voters take long look at the ballot in adj
and study up the real issues involved in the

the police officers stood on the sidelines, 1eer-
ing and hooting.
Does this tend to support contentious that
we don't need any form of drastic" juvenile
curbs in Montgomery County?
To begin with, the anti-loitering law as it
functions in Washington imposes no restric-
tons whatsoever on any one who has legiti'
mate reason for being wherever he might be
after 10 pm, at midnight or at 2 am. 1t
simply requires an explanation of his activ-
ity on valid grounds, and imposes no penalty
on anyone who has ample reason to be around
and about after 10 pm.
And, more effectively, it provides for
penalties assessable against the parents OF
Youngsters who are found to be in frequent
violation of its terms.
We firmly believe the proposed law is
highly desirable, and we are particularly i'm
pressed with the provision for parental re-
sponsibility Just how many of the parents
of those youngsters involved in the Wheaton
fracas knew where they were at the time
we have no way of guessing. But we have
strong suspicion that the percentage was low,
and we have just as strong conviction that
parents should know more about their OFF
springs latehour activity.
The anti-loitering law we believe, would
be a powerful device to forestall such unruly
displays as that seen in Wheaton last week
end Had it been in effect, we doubt that the
incident would have occurred-and, even II
destined, would have been on a much smaller
scale.
1t is, of course, regrettable that any sort
of juvenile curb is needed in our county.
But in view of the Wheaton episode and the
growing number of cases of senseless vandal-
ism and other shocking examples of Juvenile
behavior, it seems to be an unfortunate ne
cessity.
The antiloitering law has been tried in
Washington and seems to have met the test.
1t is strongly recommended by authorities
who are intimately familiar with the juve-
nile problem.
There's no better time to act than now
