Cities
''' People
Suburb
VS.. City
By ROBERT J. LEWIS

TN AIR CONDITIONED
Il comfort in the middle of
the city, a talented adver-
tising copywriter is tapping
out a Shimmering bit of pure
poetry.
His client is the builder of
an outstanding development
of conditioned homes in
the suburbs.
Some people seem to like
Summer in the middle =

mer-long!" he writes.
where it's sidewalk-siz-
cling, macadam melting,
throat-choking, feet-bliSter-
ing, -Stifling HOT.
Strange as it seems, they
MUST like it that way.
"Or else they'd move to a
pleasant suburban commu-
nifty where its grass-growing,
breeze blowing, sweet-smell-
ing, tree-rustling, air-con-
ditioned COOL"

sNIPING BETWEEN cities

SNIPING BETWEEN cities
and suburbs has done much
to harm both in the past.
All kinds of neighborhoods
are learning gradually how
to be better places for people.
Both cities and suburbs
have much to learn along
these lines.
It's becoming clearer all
the time that overdrawn
pictures help neither side.
So maybe it's time to call
q truce.
Besides, the weather's too
sidewalk sizzling, macadam-
melting, throat choking,
feet -hlistering, air-stifling
HOT for all this pickering.
Evening star., 1961-07-23

IN THE INTERESTS of
harmony and understanding
between cities and suburbs,
another thing might be said.
It's not true that all this
grass-cutting and garden
work are weekend chores
that burden suburbanites
alone.
Grass grows in cities, too,
and must be cut.
If you don't like to bother
with a garden or moving a
lawn, you won't like a house
at all-either in town or in
the suburbs.
In that case, the best bet
is an apartment in the city
or outside, whichever you
choose.
The coolest ones are "air-
conditioned COOL" wherever
they are.
Evening star., 1961-07-23

THAT ARTIST with hy-
phenated adjectives sure can
paint a cool picture on that
battered old typewriter.
(He also can paint a
Sweltering one, too, that
drips with perspiration and
cries out in pain from all
those bliSters).
Copy like that deserves
attention.
1t makes you want to read
on and on. 1t creates images,
and gets results.
A lot of people are bound
to leap into their cars, when
they read that, and rush
pell-mell into the beckoning
COOL of that suburb he's
talking about.
We certainly hope they
will, for that suburban de-
velopment is one of the most
interesting hereaboutS. All
its homes are air condi-
toned.
But we are wondering
about one thing. What makes
that place so cool2
Is 1t the trees rlstling, the
breeze blowing, ana the grass
growing?
Or is It that afr-condition-
Ing he mentioned?
TO TELL THE TRUTH,
we hate to see all this ideo-
logical rivalry that has the
effect of splitting cities and
suburbs asunder
It doesn't right for
either side t run down the
other.
Both kinds of neighber-
hoods have much to offer.
Each one must depend on
the other.
Much as this young adver-
tising man may doubt it,
trees rustic In cities, too.
1t all; depends on whether
there's a breeze blowing.
Rustling or not, the biggest
help that trees can give is
shade. Cities and suburbs
benefit most from. this.
Washington is helped more
than any other city because
1t has more trees than any
other city.
Walk along a country road
on a hot day-ras we did last
week-and you'll never doubt
that when the sun is hot, 1t
Is HOT everywhere. It's hot
in the city, in the country,
in the suburbs, and at the
SeaShore.
But there's one consola-
ton. No matter where you
are, it's never "9O-degrees-
hot, all-sumner-long."

Suburbia: Stag
Lines Long Gone
For Steady Teens
By Jack v. Fox
United Press International

SUBURBIA, U.S.A. (UPD-
One of the tribal customs of
suburbia which seems to be-
come increasingly more iron
clad is that of going steady
among the teenagers - clear
down to the 13's and AS.
Some of the dads q would
say most look on their sons as
clearly demented for passing
up that golden phase of playing
the field, but try to tell that to
today's boys, let alone girls.
This is the season of proms
and dances and those middle
aged men who bark back to
Glen Miller and Artie Shaw and
Benny Goodman can never for
get that remarkable institution
the stag line.
1t comes second hand, of
course, but informers say that
no longer dc these stays con-
gregate in that shuffling, self
conscious mob in the center of
the floor, gathering courage to
dart out occasionally and "cut
in"
Instead, they come to dances
in couples and, for the most
part, the same boy and girl
dance together the night
through. Those who pick up
their offspring by automobile
after the dances sense a loss of
the exhiliration that used to fol-
low an evening of dancing with
two dozen partners.
One male conclusion is that
an increasingly matriarchal So
ciety has pushed this teeenage
monogamy for the benefit of
the girls.
1t could be pretty cruel. all
right, in the stag line days for
girl to circle hours-long with
her date while more popular
and often more shallow-girls
were switching partners every
few steps.
But it was life, nonetheless.
and the question persists wheth.
er this swing to the other ex-
tremity is not robbing youth of
valuable experimenting - on
both sides-in the years of
choosing a mate, years which
incidentally are growing ever
shorter.
Consider the true story of
two 14-year-olds who not only
were going steady but had de-
cided to exchange rings.
The significance of this ex.
change was something which
the two principals seemed I'M
able or unwilling to explain,
but it brought the boys father
up short. He was, however, un.
able to figure any effective
means of dealing with the sit
uation.
1t was then that the girls
father stepped in. He tele-
phoned the boy at home and
said he understood there was
to be an exchange of rings.
Eyes, sir" said the boy.
We'll, young man." said the
girls parent, I'D like you to
come over and see me. 1 want
to have a long talk with you"
The prospect of a long talk
with the man behind that gruff
voice was sufficient. The boys
intentions were honorable-but
not that honorable.

Education must have felt as
If they were sitting out in left
field when the Superintendent
of Schools threw out to them
his 12-month school program.
1t is true that all members
of the Board We're completely
surprised. At least they gave
every indication that they had
never herad of the unique
plan for the so-called 1874 plan.
And this is unusual.
The School Board members
spend many long hours on
school affairs. And they are
charged with the responsible
ity of operating the finest
school system they can put to-
gether. Furthermore, they do
all of this with practically no
compensation. I believe they
get something like $500 a year
for expenses.
Ordinarily Board members
and the Superintendent work
very closely. In fact, there is
from time to time room for
complaint that they work too
closely behind closed doors.
And why DR.. Whittier did not
take the Board into his conf
dence on this sweeping pro-
gram is a mystery. This is es-
pecially true since he told var
ious principals and supervi-
Sors a few weeks before he
surprised the Board with it.
1t is understandable why
some of them felt a little put
out at their superintendent. 1t
gives the impression that the
tail is wagging the dog.
The School Board is the pol
icy-making body. The Super
intendent is the administrator.
And while the Superintendent
has every right to suggest
new ideas on education and
systems it would seem much
smarter on his part if he had
chosen a different approach to
spring this new concept on the
School Board.
There are some members of
the Board who believe the
weaknesses in the present sys-
tenn should be Strengthened be-
fore too much time is devoted
on extras.
DR.. Whittier, according to
some members of the Board,
has shown deficiencies in
some phases of administra-
ton. They would like to be
able to get more true facts on
various school operations so
they in turn could make in
telligent judgements.
The same goes for this new
plan submitted by DR.. Whit
tier. He neglected to give full
details. And without these the
Board cannot be expected to
make an intelligent analysis
of the 12-4 school plan.
You can say one thing! DR..
whittier has made sure that
the summer will not be dull
for members of the School
Board. No doubt each member
will get calls by the hundreds
from parents who don't under
stand the details of the plan.
There is no harm in trying
something new if that some
thing new has real merit. But
I would guess the members of
the School Board will do an
awful lot of thinking and in
vestigating before any definite
action is taken. In the mean
time, DR.. Whittier, no doubt,
will be busy thinking up some
thing else to keep his School
Board on its toes and the pub
lie in a state of confusion.
