THE JACKSON TWINS
Pogo
By WILLIAM MORRIS


Probably no single, quirk of
English writing, excepting only
split infinitives, has caused so
much pointless controversy as
the that = which" debate.
Maybe this doesn't seem an
earth-shaking subject in these
parlous times-and I should be
the first to agree. But don't
expect copy editors to take the
question lightly. To them the
decision whether to use which
or that" as introduction to a
relative clause is often a mat
ter for impassioned debate.
Offhand, the rule" seems
simple enough. Use that" if
the clause is defining" or "re-
strictive": THE books that he
brought were interesting" Use
which" if the clause is mon
defining" or 'nonrestrictive":
HE brought along some books
which may. have interested his
readers"
In the first sentence, you are
speaking not of books in general
but defining the specific books.
In the second sentence you add
some information about the
books, but don't restrict them
to a specific category.
Evening star., 1961-11-28

copy editing fraternity grow too
irked at my irreverent treat
ment Of the most sacred of
their shibboleths, the that
which rule" let them reflect on
how they would copy-edit this
memorable sentence from the
pens of those most illustrious
of English writers, the trans
lators of the King James YER
sion Of the Bible. I quote from
Matthew xii. 81: Render
therefore unto Caesar the
things which are Caesars; and
unto God the things that are
Gods"

This may seem a distinction
without a difference-and in
deed, you may be right. After
reviewing, in the past 18
months, some million and a
half words of encyclopedia copy
prepared and copy-edited by
experts, I have formulated the
Morris Rule for That and

that the copy editor changes
it to which; if the author
writes which the copy editor
changes it to that"

Plans For Modern Rail
Transit System Proposed

Takoma Park and Hyattsville
would be designed originally fol-
an express bus service to down
town.
Mr.. Keith said the commuter
rail service would be designed
to provide a minimum of
standees and that the agency
was even considering use of bar
cars and television to lure Gus
toners from autos.
At present, he said, the agen-
cy is even considering use of
the Baltimore and Ohio right of
way either for a special COM
muter train service or for
widening to handle commuter
trains on separate tracks.
The Silver Spring subway
line would terminate north of
University blvd. in Wheaton.
Stops would be about one to two
miles apart and would require
huge tracts of land to handle
parking for 1000 to 5000 cars.
Location of the stations, he
said, would cause more inten-
sive use of the land in the area.
Mr. .Gingery urged the board
to oppose bringing the new
route 70S through Silver Spring.
He said both the Wisconsin ave.
corridor and the Silver Spring
corridor are needed to handle
the population anticipated by
1880.
Every weeks delay in pro-
ceeding with the purchase of
right for the new highways and
commuter trains is raising the
cost of the ultimate job to be
done, Mr.. Gingery said.
Mr.. Gingery also voiced op-
position to the proposal to run
a commuter train on the Balti-
more and Ohio right of way.
The special program, moder-
ated by Attorney John p.
Moore, was aimed at alerting
the business community to

Assembly was an act alternating
the representation situation in
southern Maryland. That act
was passed under pressure from
Governor Tawes and Demo
cratic congressman.
With a popular vote on their
unfair redistricting act facing
them, legislators might be per.
suaded to come up with a new
plan Lee said.
The federation passed an
emergency" resolution in sup.
port of the referendum drive.
If no new redistricting plan
is arrived at, Lee said, Mary
lands new member OF the
House of Representatives would
presumably be elected at large,
which would "cause great con-
sternation among the politi-
Clans"
The federation has declared
the General Assembly's redis-
tricting act-which put Prince
Georges and Howard Counties
into the new eighth district -
grossly unfair to Montgom-
cry" The sixth, which includes
Montgomery, and second dis
tricts are more than twice as
large as some of the smaller
districts.
At the federation meeting, the
Maryland Committee for Fair
Representation asked for sup.
port of its efforts to reapportion
seats in the assembly.
An attempt by the committee
TO force reapportionment was
stalled when it lost a suit filed
in Anne Arundel Circuit Court.

Fire Department Suggests
Rules for Selecting Sitters

Baby sitters and fire prob.
lens are being viewed with
concern by the Fire Prevention
Committee of the Rockville Vol
unteer Fire Department.
The big trouble, as local fire
fighters see it, is that parents
too often leave their children in
the care of baby sitters who are
neither trained nor capable of
managing their charges in an
emergency.
The committee, formerly
headed by Chief ]. o. Gartner,
points out that responsibility
of hiring a competent sitter
rests with parents and suggests
a number of rules.
They include:
Be sure the baby sitter is re-
liable, responsible and capable
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1961-04-13

of acting correctly in event of
a fire, accident or sudden i'll
ness.
Be sure the sitter knows
how to call the fire department
or rescue squad.
Be sure sitter knows at least
two ways of getting out of the
house. There should be no hest
tation to take children outside
if a fire is suspected or if the
odor of gas or other fumes are
detected.
Be sure the sitter is trained
in first aid and knows how to
get help in event of sickness.
Be sure telephone numbers
of fire department, police de-
partment and family doctor are
available near the telephone.

Plans for a plush, modern
rail transit system and express
bus service to lure commuters
out of their autos have been
laid before the Silver Spring
Board of Trade.
Robert A. Keith, engineer
chief of the Metropolitan Area
Transportation Agency, told the
board at its April meeting that
the agency was hopeful of hav-
ing a full scale new commuter
system in operation by 1868.
But Donald E. Gingery, chair
man of the National Capital
Regional Planning Council,
warned that unless all agencies,
civic groups and community
leaders get behind the transpor-
tation plan, no funds would be
forthcoming from Congress.
Mr. Gingery made a plea for
an end to the pickering and
fighting before the agency goes
to Congress with it's first re-
quest for funds to buy right of
way for the new system.
He also blasted those who
demand more and more reports
before action is taken to make
the system reality.
Joseph c. Kordella, county
public works director, urged
that in implementing the report
calling for eight express bus
routes and the rail transit sys-
tenn, the improvement of the
secondary road network not be
overlooked.
Mr.. Kordella said he was not
nearly as worried about the
lethargy in the community re-
garding the plan as he was
about the "highway-stay-away-
from-my-door" attitude of many
residents.
Mr.. Keith said three radials
are proposed for the suburban
Maryland area. Two, the Wis
consin ave. corridor and the Sill
yer Spring corridor, would have
rail transit. The third, between

Blair Lee Predicts Redistricting Action,
Slot Machines Fig ht in 1862 Assembly

Possible action on the Mary
land redistricting question and
a slot machine fight in the 1862
General Assembly have been
forecast by Del. Blair Lee, III.
Lee told the Montgomery
County Civic Federation this
week that drive-inaugurated
by the Montgomery League of
Women Voters and taken up by
a similar group in Prince
Georges County-to put the re-
districting act to a referendum
could prompt the assembly ac-
ton.
He said the assembly might
come up with a new plan, to pro-
vide for the additional represen-
tative the State gets as a re-
suit of the 1860 census.
In discussing slot machines,
he said they are not a local
issue and predicted a 1862 bill
to regulate the machines. All
proposed legislation on the issue
was turned down at this years
assembly session.
The Montgomery League is
planning to collect 10000 sigma
lures on a petition to require
that the States redistricting act
be put to a vote of the people.

out of both sides of his mouth"
