Solve. Don't Aggravofe

We doubt whether Mrs. Mary Hepburn's proposal
for threemember, ful-time Board of Zonng Appeals
to replace the present ve-member parttime setup
the answer to the Boards difficulties
Recent months have seen an increasing number
of board decisions taken to the Circuit Court on APP
peal And reports Of friction among board members
have grown alarmngly Also, many persons who have
appeared before the board have complained of the
excessively long hearings and techncaltes which APP
parently have become part of the agency's pro-
cedures.
All of this points to defects which must be cor
rected If the board is to function efficiently Instead
of changing the groups basic organization, however,
board members should look first to possible methods
of revamping their present operations.
It seems to us that more emphasis should be
placed on common sense instead of on legal tech
nicalities in reviewing appeals from zoning laws.
After all, the board is not court of law although
some of its members appear to take that view.
Hearings should be conducted with all possible
speed, with minimum of fornality. And above all,
board members should remember that their primary
function is to try to solve citizens problems not ag
gravate them

the rest of the country. Labor now commands
more tribute than any other one group YOU

OF course, it's nice to have a holiday no

But is there any reason now whv we
can't change Labor Day to something else?
Perhaps we could make it broader. Can
it Working Mans Day. thus bringing all of
us into the fold
Or maybe something like Last Chance
Day - it's somewhat surprising how we're
confined when the kids can't 60 with us.
Or why call it anything at all? We could
Just call 1t the Day. Then Labor could nav
tribute to Labor Management could nav
tribute to Management, the rest of us could
pay tribute to ourselves
That way we could include the peonIe
who are left out on Mothers Day. Fathers
Day. Valentine, and the other special DAYS
just for select groups.
And then perhaps we could borrow from
Eleanor Roosevelt and call it My Day.
That way each of us could pay tribute
TO himself - on day we've needed for
long time.

Vinton's Change Of Mind

Psychologists tell us that the older we get, the
more set we become in our opinions But not Warren
]. Vinton.
With an agility rare in one of his age, Mr. Vinton
has managed to reverse himself completely In his
thoughts on the Park and Planning Commissions
Master Plan for the Upper Rock Creek Watershed.
Less than two years ago. Mr.. vinton told the
Commission at public hearing on the plan that its
recommendations excellent and should be adopt
ed with little or no changes. He also said the plan
had been endorsed unanimously by the Board of Gov
ernors of the Montgomery County Citizens Planning
Association, which he heads.
Last week, the County Council held its own pub
lie hearing on the same plan Mr.. Vinton was right
there waiting to be heard. And what did he have to
say? Why said Mr. Vinton the plan is terrible, totally
inadequate.
Obviously Mr. vinton is not bothered by little
thing called consistency He calls his shots the way
he sees Them The trouble is his shots sometimes go
wide of the mark Because if he was right in the De-
cember, 1859, hearing, he most certainly wrong
at last weeks hearing And viceversa. It's enough to
shake bodys faith in Mr.. Vinton and the Citizens
Planning Association.
What is one to believe? Is the plan good, as Mr.
Vnon testified strongly in December 1859? Or is
it bad as he described the plan last week? And
Mr. Vinton is man who knows-he says so at every
hearing on every plan
Well, all this testimony makes interesting reading
But it hardly creditabe We hope the County Council
members will bear that in mind when they review the
thousands of words uttered at their hearing last week
in the light Of what said before the Park and Plan
ming Commission the same plan in December, 1882

The nomination of State Senator Edward S.
Northrop to the Federal bench in Maryland caps no
table career in law and politics for of Montgomery
Countys favorite sons.
Both as an attorney and as a member of the
Maryland Senate, Mr.. Northrop has earned the re-
spect and admiration not only Of his close associates
but OF the public generally. Although modest and un-
assuming, he possesses keen, analytical mind which
helped UNNECESSARILY in his work as chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee and majority leader of the
States Upper House.
All of us in Montgomery County are proud of
Eddie Northrop We his elevation to the Fed

Letters to the Sentinel

reason is that If we fail to
help the underdeveloped ma
tons achieve a better life, the
Russians certainly will. The
Russians already have tech
nicians, teachers, and scien-
lists scattered around the
world working with these ma
tions. The Russians also pro-
vide considerable goods and
credits to these nations, and
you can be sure that such
help is not on a year to year
basis, but is organized in a
long range plan to accomplish
long range goals.
Can the present Administra-
ton compete with the Rus
slams without spending money,
without long range plans,
without the money necessary
to implement long range
plans, and without adding
personnel to carry out in
creased efforts? If we decide
not to compete with the Rus
slams in these fields, what will
be the result to our nation and
to our grandchildren's lives?
Can we expect our allies and
the uncommitted nations to
support our position in the
world If we say, I'VE will give
you a little help this year, but
we can't guarantee anything
beyond that" Can we crawl in
a hole and forget the rest of
the world?
The United States Is like a
football player who suddenly
finds himself in possession of
a fumbled ball. We have the
leadership of the free world
in our hands. We can tumble,
we can be stopped by an OPP
posing player, or we can fight
our way through to the goal.
We have none to pass to, and
whatever happens is our re-
sponsibility.
We must help the underde-
veloped nations of the world
achieve better standard of
living, If for no other reason
than to prevent them from
falling under the influence
and finally, the domination of
the Russians. For our own
survival, we need to trade
with the other nations of the
world. For our own survival.
we need the military and po-
litical support of other ma
tons of the world.
Without pointing an accus.
ing finger, one can honestly
say that the present Admin
istration inherited a terrible
mess of problems and respon-
sibilities. If this Administra.
ton failed to make an effort
to solve these problems, crit
icism would be justified, but
they are trying new programs
and efforts. President Ken
nedy has only been in office
a few months, and his Admin
istration has not had time to
make more than a start on the
staggering problems that face
us today. believe that the
President and his Administra-
ton deserve the support of ev-
cry American in their efforts.

There Is A Disease

There is this disease, little
known until the last decade or
so, which strangely enough,
seems to attack only elected or
appointed county or state Off
Gals or employees. While COM
paratively little laboratory re.
search has been expended
upon this dread affliction, de-
cision has been made in the
medical world that there can
be for 1t no permanent cure.
Thus, as In the case of all in
durable diseases, it has been
given a long and melodious
name to show its toxic magni.
tude.
The disease strikes when
citizens of other counties and
states desire to come through
out county by automobile in
stead of by available bus or
train, and make complaint to
our elected or appointed Off
Gals, saying "Your roads are
too narrow Cor too curving or
too hilly) to suit us, and your
duty thus to Heaven and
fatherland is to cut down trees
so you can contienciously, for
our convenience, make all
roads we elect to use broad
and straight and level.
Thus comes the germ. There
is no antidote or preventive.
Once 1t embeds itself in Off
cial or employee, he must cut.
He loses all power to reason,
in his pathological urge to cut
and slash and widen. With
the urge comes a maniac skill,
so that a widened road may
come within a few inches of
every residence front steps,
without visible injury to the
residence, so that the cost of
cutting down the trees may be
assessed as improvement.
Since all the world is in
terested in this tragic disease it
is interesting to note one of
the most devastating examples
of it. The most beautiful
street in Montgomery County,
perhaps in Maryland, was
Grosvenor Lane, lined sweetly
with great trees. Sufferers of
the above tree-destroying ma
lady had been for years at
tracted to this lovely shaded
spot, with intent to destroy.
Information is that earnest ef-
forts had been made to defect
this use by showing them dead
trees that needed cutting, by
offering to send them to
coastal places where there
were no trees, or by providing
them with residence in lumber
camps where daily they could
see trees falling, falling, fall
ing. But to no avail.
The Grosvenor Lane seizure
grew worse year by year.
Toxic reasoning proved to the
sufferers that the existing
lines of trees were a foot or
two out of line, so they cut
them down and planted new
trees, which in a hundred
years would be as good as the
eliminated trees. Starting with
20 feet of clear roadway, they
somehow managed to end up
with 20 feet of clear roadway.
But the trees had been elm.
mated.
