There seems to be something
about the Montgomery County
air that makes experts sprout
up as fast as mushrooms in a
dollhouse.
You see and hear these ex-
perts everywhere - at School
Board meetings, at coming
hearings, at master plan dis
cussions, at county budget ses-
sions and at street improve
ment proposals. The curious
thing about all of them is that
their degree of experiences is
in direct proportion to their
lack of experience in the field
in which they claim to know
all.
Thus, a typical expert has
never taught il. any school; a
zoning expert has little or no
knowledge of the fine legal
or planning involved in a re-
quest for change in land use;
a planning expert has no plan
ming degree; a budget expert
has never drawn up a munich
pal budget, and a street i'm
provement expert has never
taken a course in traffic engi-
neering.
But the lack of any of these
qualifications never stops
them. They quote statistics as
fast as computing machines
and deliver opinions as weight
lily as though they were pro-
nouncing the Ten Command
ments from Mount Sinai.
And you must never dis.

As a person, who has driven
both light and heavy vehicles
in rush-hour and moderate
flow of traffic in the D. c., for
an estimated Y to " million
miles, believe / am In a posi-
ton to determine what consti-
tutes good and bad planning
In road building.
Lately, Randolph I'd. has
been widened from Viers Mill
I'd. through Viers Mill Village
to Rock Creek, and l am told,
it is on the drawing-board, to
widen Randolph I'd. from that
point to the B&O R.R. tracks,
and then close Randolph I'd. at
the tracks, using a detouring
means of carrying a flow of
traffic that is about equal to
that on Viers Mill I'd. This
appears to me to be the acme
of stupidity, because, good
sensible traffic planning, calls
for straight through access be-
tween given points, thus, ex-
pediting a rapid-flow of traf-
fic. / am also. aware of the
additional taxes imposed on
property owners along this
route of approximately $1,000
per foot frontage for improve
ments to their property, that
will surely end up in a bottle

arranged.

Montrose Estates; over the
R.R. tracks to Rockville Pike;
Old Georgetown I'd; Montrose
I'd; and thence to the new
"240" on a straight line now
in existence, you can readily
see just how stupid closing
Randolph I'd. at the R.R.
tracks will be. This type Of
planning must be condemned
wherever it rears its ugly
head, if we are planning for
tomorrow or tomorrow's to-
morrow.
The justification of the
property owners to derive a
benefit for the increased taxa

any whim or reconsideration

agree; for they are CITIZENS
and TAXPAYERS (the capital
letters are used advisedly)
whose tolerance for dissenting
voices is just about equal to
Khrushchev's willingness to
abolish Communism in Russia.
Any opposition to what they
want is always motivated by
selfish reasons and is invari-
ably met with boos and Kisses.
That is because the opponents
are always either real estate
interests Invariably described
as short-sightedD or politicians
(habitually grasping).
These experts obviously have
a corner on civic virtue and
community improvement. Ev-
erything is good or bad; there
are no in-betweens. And any
one wanting to change any
thing in their community must
be disciple of the devil.
For example, a familiar re-
frain at coming hearings is the
plaintive cry that Il came out
here because / wanted to live
in the country" and there are
these bad people who want to
build apartments, or stores, or
even sidewalks.
The fact that their area has
changed completely; that there
are three or four times as
many people living there as
came there 10 or Is years ago
all this doesn't matter. Main
tain the status quo is their
rallying cry.

A Reminder from Santa! /.
There was a time many years
ago when Kris Kringle or San
ia" as the jolly old man with
the long white beard is known
to Americans, young and old,
could catch himself a nap be-
tween one Christmas and the
next. Not any more. Ever since
1912, another man with whisk-
ers-Uncle Sam-has given him
special assignment of getting
his prettiees out early so some
could be mailed overseas to the
nephews and nieces on duty
with our Armed Forces. To
assist Old Kris as much as
possible this year, Uncle Sam
has asked those of us who have
service relations and friends
overseas to Mail Christmas
Packages Early" The dates
are between November l and
20, for ordinary parcels. Air
packages should be mailed be-
fore December 10. Make a
mental note to shop early. Our
uniformed recipients overseas
will be ever so grateful.

around The County
By Peter Dawson

The planning expert, on the
other hand, wants change -
but he wants it his way. Anv
other way, regardless of who
proposes it, is bound to wreck
the county. This expert is full
of ideas, most of them uncon.
stitutional. But that doesn't
prevent him from ascribinp
the darkest of motives to those
who differ with him.
Then we have the school ex.
pert, who takes every School
Board utterance and program
as Holy Writ. Those who seek
to examine and analyze school
proposals in the light of their
need are promptly attacked as
a n til education ignoramuses
who are trying to wreck the
school system.
The most expert of the ex.
perts is the self-styled budg.
etary wizard. He can tear any
budget apart in Is minutes and
explain Ito his own satisfac.
tom why it isn't what he is
fond of describing as a TRUE
BUDGET. The trouble is, he
just can't seem to make others
understand what he is talking
about.
1t is right that people, indi.
vidually or in groups, are al.
lowed to speak out on any sub.
ject. But by the same token,
these people should not take
themselves so seriously and ex.
pect others to do the same.
