It takes patience fact searching, time
and more time for anyone to try to unravel
some of the red tape and interpret the gobble.
degook that one constantly runs into in the
job Of observing the workings of our local
school board and the present administration
under Dr. C. Taylor Whittier. But we be-
lieve there is committee chairman who has
the capacity, the know-how the Consciousness
and the time to do just this. He is Milton M
Rodes of Wheaton, chairman of the Education
Committee of the Allied Civic Group.
Like most of us, Mr.. ROdes wants for
Montgomery County's young people the best
possible education. But I'm order for the peO-
pie to know whether or not the children
are getting it, certain basic facts concerning
the system must be made public.
Several months ago the Allied Civic
Group by unanimous action made numerous
recommendations and suggestions concerning
the operating and capital budgets Mr.. Rodes
on September q appeared before members
of the School Board and said it had accom-
plished many things in the past year. "Un-
fortunately, we are all not aware of these
achievements and actions. We would like to
know, and the community would like to know
what accomplishments have taken place"
Mr., Rodes went on to say that your
(School Board responsibility carries with it
an obligation of accountability account
ability to the Community of your leadership
your achievements accountability of your
stewardship. We must know what you have
DONE We must also know what remains to
be done. We must, in addition, know your
problems so that we as citizens can be of
help"
Mr.. Rodes repeated the recommendations
and asked for report on when action was
taken or when it will be taken. And we do
not believe for one minute that the Education
Committee of the Allied Civic Group expects
favorable action on all suggestions. But we
are confident Mr.. Rodes his committee and
the Allied Group expect report on what dis.
position has been made of them.
We believe the suggestions are important
enough to repeat now and again and again
until final answers can be obtained from the
Board Of Education and the present Admin.
istration. The Group even provided handy
form In order to make 1t simple matter to
fill in the date of staff action, date of action
by superintendent, date of action by board
and date of planned action.

Beautiful little Maryland has developed a
long and quiet history She escaped the
ravages of the war; and the upheaval of Re.
construction. She has not been wracked by
fostering racial strife and the pathetic intro.
version of some Of her Southern sisters. Only
lightly touched by the great waves of immi-
grafton, she absorbed those who came to her,
modified her way of life without disruption,
and preserved her traditions and folkways.

Thus, Marylanders are a conservative

living" and we are truly blessed.
However, this same geography now places
us in the midst of unwanted discord Wash
ington has momentarily become the political
capital of the world, and unfortunately the
United Nations chose to light on the banks
of the East River. Maryland sits astride the
main route between the Federal City and
New York. Due to changing Weltpolitik, the
traffic on the road has increased and grown
bumptious thereby causing controversy
Almost monthly, we observe the spectacle
of some ramshackle territory in Africa pro-
claiming itself political entity and immed-
of its betters. To achieve public attention
and to acquire funds these days. it is neces-
sary for these dreary little nations to have
ambassadorial representation in New York
and Washington. Being in narrowed circum.
stances, these new governments sensibly
maintain single staff to serve in both cities.
The end result of all this is that these embas-
sizes are found traipsing through Maryland
much of the time
One can regret the CONSERVATION of the
first African envoy who honestly and unwit-
tingly sought indoor service at one of our
caravansarys, and thereupon was confronted
with one of our strange little follzways.
Everything was settled quietly and amicably
anyway If our federal officials were not
conniving with these people. then it was their
duty to appraise the later arriving Africans

what they consider a proper
budget. This budget is then
forwarded to the County Coun-
Gil who also holds public hear
ings. 1t is then reviewed,
along with the public's recon-
mendations, and adopted with
the necessary financial provi-
sions for implementation.
I do not suggest that these
procedures be changed. I be-
lieve that there is an adequate
opportunity for every citizen
to let his views be known and
furthermore ! believe that ev-
cry citizen should express his
views.

Action Needed

Winston Churchill once described Russian policy
riddle wrapped in mystery inside an enigma"
He might just as well have been speaking of the
County Councils policy, lack of it. in filling two
key positions an information officer and an eco
nomic development director.
The first has been vacant more than three
months following Bill Gilbert's resignation to join the
Washington Senators. The second and more import
ant job has remained untenanted for more than two
years, although county budgets have regularly carried
appropriations for the post
If the Council does not intend to fill these two
positions it should say so and remove them from the
list of available jobs. 1t should also eliminate the APP
preparations which have been made for them.
On the other hand, if the county heads are sim
cere in retaining the appropriations, they should
announce their intentions clearly and publicly and
then follow up their words with definite program of
action to obtain qualified applicants at salaries that
will attract the kind of men the county needs

Likes Letter Columns

The quality of the SentineIs
letter column is often better
than those of the big urban
dailies; I dare say because
you give enough space so a
critical thinker like Mrs. Bur-
ton does not feel censored and
can even resort to sarcasm
and satire, which most editors
refuse to print. 1t might hurt
somebody's feelings!
Publication of comments
from Capital Hill helps too; it
gives opportunity for critical
retorts. Particularly disarma-
ment needs some sharp COM
ment, such as that in David
Scull's column. However, both
he and MAC" Matthias are too
sold on the idea that peace
hinges on action In this field.
Emil Reeve has been too gen.
orally ignored, despite his note
in the Readers Digest, on the
anatomy" of peace from
which he excludes any ques-
ton of armament or disarma-
ment. Had our Congressman
given this adequate attention
he could not have voted to add
another agency, or two, or
three, to the already topheavy
federal bureaucracy.
The Republican Party
should also have more regard
for the work of Friedrich Hay
elk, the outstanding opponent
of planning" as against a
"laissez faire" policy. Consid.
er, for example, how the plan
ners of public works to take
the place of war in sustaining
employment and prosperity
were fooled by the immediate
postwar boom of 1916. The
highway program planned
was put off as then superflu-
Gus and finally was put over
as a crash program only by
giving it a military label,
which overcame the kind of
conservative criticism offered
by the distinguished British
economist, Sir Godfrey Crow
Their, who said it was too ex-
travagant.

A Suggestion

AS Montgomery Countys population continues
to grow and once rural fast become urbanzed,
the time has come for each Of volunteer fire de-
partments to give serious thought to the desrabiity
of maintaining paid skeleton crew..
This is not intended to reflect in any way on the
excellent service which the various communities
ceive from their volunteer firemen. These men re-
spond selfishly to the fire siren at all times of the
day and night and their activities many times exceed
the call of duty.
Many departments, however, have decided that
the volunteers should be supplemented by paid fire.
men to make certain that is available con-
stantly in the event of emergency. They realize
that few minutes delay in getting crew together
often means the difference between life and DEATH
But there are other departments which depend
solely on volunteers and, consequently, run the risk
of such delay because they have no paid, ful-tme
men.
We believe the volunteers would be the first to
concede that the communitys interest must be para
mount and that any move which would further pro-
tect the citizens is desirable is for this reason that
advance the suggestion of nucleus of paid fire.
men in each department We hope the volunteers will
consider such proposal in the spirit with which
it is offered.

Whot's Proper?

When man is elected governor Of state, the
voters expect him to provide leadership. The word
itself comes from the Latin verb, gubernare, mean
ing to steer or pilot %@@ sss
Since his election as Marylands chief of state
in 1858, J. Willard Tawes has neither steered nor
plotted Instead he has temporized vacllated, hest
tated and procrastinated.
On the two vitality important issues of reap
portionment and redistrcting he has failed to speak
out and fight for the kind of legislation that would
solve these problems in the interest of the vast ma
jority of the people,
And his latest answer to increasing pressure for

This is not the answer that the people of Mary

Letters to the Sentinel

are the propagation of the doc
trine of the Church through
out the world. This committee
was first organized in the
1600's, but propaganda and
propagandists no doubt exist.
ed in prehistoric times.
Propaganda attempts to sell
individuals or groups of in
dividuals on an idea or a course
of action. 1t can be used to
sell a bar of soap or to pre-
pare nation for war. 1t can
consist of truth, half-truths,
distorted truths, outright hes,
or a combination of these.
Propaganda is the use of words
and ideas as weapons, and in
the cold war is one of the most
important and widely used
tools of war.
Words that stir the emotions
are most useful in propagan-
da. To Candida, propaganda"
is such a word for he writes,
I'm my youth propaganda
was a dirty word" The term
"atheistic Communism" is an
example of a propaganda term,
first used, 1 believe, by Pope
Plus in 1887. Although athe-
lists existed long before Com
munism, individuals are likely
to tie the two terms together
even when they are used sep
arately. Other terms like
Goddess Communists" God
less state" and Goddess
schools" carry this chain of
thinking along. Then terms
like secular state" secular
Schools" and "secularism,"
while not as strong. probably
produce the same emotional re-
action in some Americans. In
point of fact, our forefathers
wrote the Constitution to in
sure a secular state so that
religious quarrels would not
destroy our unity. Since pub
lie schools are conducted by
the government, secular con-
troll is obligatory under our
Constitution. When one hears
terms like Goddess Schools"
Secular Schools" or secular.
ism" applied to our public
schools, listen carefully to the
entire statement, for someone
may be trying to sell a bill of
goods.
The existence of our Nation
is probably due to the work of
a fine propaganda, Thomas
Paine, whose stirring PAM
phlets aroused the people of
the colonies to the point of
fighting for their independ-
ence. Ut is interesting to note
that Paine was called a dirty
little atheist.) Another good
example of a fine propaganda
list is Winston Churchill, who,
with all the nations of Europe
under the German and Italian
heel and England threatened
by an all out attack by the
powerful German Air Force,
thrust out his chin and cried,
I'VE shall never surrender"
Both of these propagandists,
by appealing to the best quail
tiles and finer ideas of the
men they influenced, probably
changed the course of history.
Propaganda is an essential
part of American life because
the government is elected
through the use of propagan.

THE Price
OF Propaganda

In a column entitled THE

comments on propaganda and
the world. Propaganda is not

comes from a Latin phrase
that is the title of a commit.
