It's difficult to understand DR.. c. Taylor
Whittier, Superintendent of Schools. It's not
easy to try to figure what makes him tick
Many individuals and groups have been try
ing for the past four years.
There is no question about the great
energy of this man. He seems to be tireless
But for many reasons we get the impression
that he is continually looking for something.
DR.. Whittier has the greatest capacity for
confusion. He seems to enjoy change almost
for change sake alone. 1t is impossible to
know what DR.. Whittier believes in. He has
never stated any clear-cut policy on cur
riculum, personnel procedures, or school arch.
itectural programs.
The public has no opportunity to get
definite impression of the Superintendent
stand on anything. He buzzes off thoughts,
theories and plans like a dynamo. But he
never stops long enough to explain or to put
into effect any one of them He seems more
interested in drawing up revolutionary plans
than he is of achieving anything really
structive.
Most administrative heads of school sys-
set definite course and follow it.
One plan after another has been thrust
upon the School Board the school system
and the public ever since Dr. Whittier as
sumed office as Superintendent of Schools
He has kept the place in a constant spin.
His latest plan of complete reorganization
calls for close study by independent out
side consultants. This will happen But DR..
Whittier hit the nail on the head himself
concerning his newest plan when he said no
organizational plan will work unless highly
competent, intelligent and qualified persons
are placed in top administrative posts.
When Dr. Whittier was appointed Super
intendent of Schools a little over four years
ago, there were four Assistant Superintend-
ents Of Schools, all reporting directly to the
Superintendent. Only one of the four re-
mains in the system.
One of the first things the new Super.
intendent did was to hire his old friend John
Permenter and made him Deputy Superintend
ent which put him next in line to Whittier
And the second in charge of our school sys-
tenn was hired without any personal inter.
views whatsoever.
1t wasn't long after this that Dr. Whittier
proceeded to reduce the status of the four
Assistant Superintendent to Directors and
added few more Directors all reporting to
the Superintendent
1t must be remembered that consult

Let's Talk Turkey
Welsh Rare Bit

l love Thanksgiving Day. 1t is an op.
portunity to get days rest in the middle
of the week without feeling guilty about
leaving the office. But do not like the ira
ditional Thanksgiving Day dinner There is
no reason for me to be hypocrite about it
any longer: / think turkey is for the birds
l have never liked turkey regardless of
the form it is served to me: baked soup,
hash or creamed. have even eaten it fried
in place called the Bronze Turkey which
was an eating place in Rockville about 13
years ago. 1t is no longer with us.
Consider a turkey dinner. In the first
place 1t is all white, and the color white is
the most discouraging color to have on a
dinner plate. There is white meat, white
potatoes with cream gravy, white oyster
plant, white sauerkraut white slaw and white
whipped cream aboard slice Of pie. / have
tried to cure the anemic appearance Of
turkey dinner by adding papriISa, pepper and
cranberries to the plate But paprika is
fraud, I am allergic to pepper and do not
like cranberries.
Consider the taste of turkey dinner or
can you taste it? Being honest with your
self about it, just what does turkey taste
like? Isn't chicken better? A duck better
still or a wild bird better yet? Sometimes I
have gotten yen for some particular food.
/ will begin to think about 1t and my taste
buds begin to react. They react to the
thoughts of nearly anything off of a pig, a
steer, from the sea, or that is grown in a
garden. But my taste buds shrivel up at the
thought of turkey.
Consider eating a turkey dinner Does
1t do anything for your spirit except clog it
down in mashed potatoes? I have never
really enjoyed any warm conversation at
turkey dinner: the wit around the average
turkey is about as heavy as the dressing
therein. But turkey dinner does fill the
stomach yes thank the Lord it does that,
but then so will four bananas and quart
of water.

Variation on Theme by SUI Tong-Po o

The crane, his pose like carven jade,
Has vision ranging wide.
Alertness often has displayed
What action tends to hide.
A man who feels he has the need
To be alone, may stand
AS still, restricting sight to read
Some passage in the sand.
If crane and man exchange the mood,
AS possibly they ought
The crane may then have thought of food
The man have food for thought

Lack of Leadership


The local Democratic Party is suffering
from a total lack of leadership. Otherwise,
it is doubtful that members of the Democratic
Council and the Democratic controlled Park
and Planning Commission would be at each
others throats.
One would think that Democrats and Re
publicans were fighting each other over plan
ming projects. Instead, Democrats are fight
ing those they appointed to high office. And
those appointed are, in fact, fighting those
they are working for, more or less.
The County Council has every right not
to like some of the things in the Master
Plans. II has a perfect way of correcting
these plans to suit its own thinking by adopt
ing sectional phases of the Master Plans. In
stead they sent them back without any specific
suggestions for changes.
The Planning Commission should have
tried to arrange meeting with the Council
so that ideas could be exchanged. Instead,
many of the members of the Planning Com
mission chose to call names via the public
press. This has accomplished nothing except
to create an almost impossible atmosphere
for negotiating sound plans for future growth.
The County Council needs a qualified pub
lie relations cOnsultant. And the members
of the Park and Planning Commission should
listen to the sound advice given them by
their excellent public relations cOnsultant. He
advised silence and spirit Of cooperation to
be displayed at joint meeting.
If local Democratic leaders can't cooper
ate on plans to benefit all of the people in
Montgomery County, it is easy to understand
why it is so difficult for Americans and Rus
slams to see eye to eye on various subjects.

Further, the report called for four or five AS

fact almost all phases were ignored.
Perhaps, DIR. Whittier believes he is on
the right track but many have already gained
the impression that he seems more interested
in building huge top-heavy bureau 50 tangled

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Save on Taxes NoW-W
~ SYLVIA PORTER

Millions Of stock market in
vestors who have taken gains
or losses are up against vital
tax factors and must plan in
diligently between now and the
end Of 1861 If they are to pay
a minimum tax on gains or
get maximum tax savings on
losses.
Here are some basic rules:
If in 1861. you have sold a
stock you owned more than six
months at a profit, you have a
long-term capital gain. This
gain will be taxed at a rate of
no more than rs per cent, for
you cut your profit in half
before applying your regular
tax rate and the law is that
half can't be taxed at more
than so per cent.
If in 1861. you have sold a
stock you held six months or
less at a profit, you have a
short-term capital gain. This
is fully taxable at the regular
rates which apply to your ordi-
nary income.
Procedures Outlined
If in 1861, you have sold a
stock at a loss, it doesn't mat
ter how long you held it. The
amount of your Short-term loss
can be used to offset capital
gains. Any excess Of loss over
capital gains is deductible up
to $1,000 of ordinary income in
1861 and you can carry for
ward" losses above $1,000 to
offset any gains and up to ST.
900 of ordinary income a year
through 1866. Now to be Spe-
cific:
Have you taken only short
term gains in 1862?
It will be to your tax benefit
to take any losses which you
now have on paper. for these
losses will offset your gains and
save you taxes at the rate ap-
plying to your ordinary income
Have you taken only long
term gains in 1861?
1t will be to your tax ad-
vantage to avoid taking losses
before the year end and to
postpone losses until 1861 or
later If you don't expect CAPT.
tai gains next year. For you
must apply such losses against
capital gains before cutting
them by so per cent-which
means these losses get only so
per cent recognition.
Have you taken both long
and short-term gains in 1861?
1t might benefit you from a
tax viewpoint to take short

volume after allowance for sea-
Sonal variations in demand, the

Statistically the slippage was

The sales volume stood ap-
proximately where it did in
September a year ago.
The report was disappointing
however, to Government econ

time, you should avoid taking

taxes.
Have you taken only short.
term losses in 1861?
Rules for Losses
You need do nothing more
from a tax viewpoint. You can
use the total of your losses ur
to $1,000 to cut your ordinary
income in 1861 and use any
excess losses in 1862, 1868, 1864
1865 and 1866. You might,
though, want to add to YOU
losses beyond $1,000 to have
them for use against ordinary
income in future years. Your
Short-term losses also will be
a tax advantage If you want
to take some capital gains in
the next couple of months.
Have you taken only long
term losses in 1861?
The same rules governing
short-term losses apply. You
need do nothing more. Or you
may decide to add to your losses
to have them for future use
or to take Short-term gains to
be offset by these losses.
Have you taken long-term
gains and Short-term losses in
1861?
1t might be to your tax bene-
fit to realize short-term gains
to balance against your short
term losses. You'll still be taxed
on your long-term gains at no
more than a Is per cent rate
Now are the weeks to list all
the securities you've sold in
1861, calculate your short and
long-term gains or losses.
Now are the weeks during
which to ask your broker,
