Why Did These
Killings Happen?
County Lew

The recent shooting of Mr. Dresback a
Washington lawyer with friends in our coun
ty, recalls to many the shooting of Mr.. Sny
der, another Washington attorney who lived
in Jamestown. Both of these men were shot
and killed by their 15-yearold adopted sons
These two killings recall to mind the killing
of the young girl in the snow near Silver
Spring by 15-year-old boy, and the killing
of baby girl by 15-year-old half-sister who,
as stepchild, lived along the fringes Of
broken family.
Why did these killings happen? Surely
there is nothing magic about the age of Is
which makes child kill Nor, is merely be-
ing lawyer justification for becoming the
target of an angry adopted son. But, there
must be some common denomination in these
four deaths. Perhaps they exhibited symp-
toms to all the world; yet there were no eyes
to see nor ears to hear
When will we learn to read the danger
signal of teen-ager when it is hosted as
high and menacing as the Jolly Roger? Must
we always be too late? And, if there must be
punishment by the courts to protect society,
or to deter other from committing similar
crimes, or to satisfy the desire for revenge, or
to appease the crocodiles swimming in the

river Nile what will this punishment be- and
who will we punish?
remember well the little girl with cameo
features who walked alone in the woods so
that she could hear the voices sweet and low.
She left the sweet sounds of the forest and
returned to the noise of her step-parents'
home. There she picked up her favorite party
dress, wound it around the neck of her half
sister, and suspended her from the door knob
where she died with her heels kicking upon
the swinging door.
Somewhere, sometime during the years
of infancy the warmth of love left the heart
of the l5year-old girl, who had been deserted
by her mother and father. The vanished love
was replaced by hatred for those who reject.
ed her early, and for those who stood in their
places and rejected her late When the hatred
broke through she committed a criminal act,
but the hatred could have been detected. and
thus the crime aborted
She was sentenced to many years of con-
hnement. AS she stood before the awesome
court, 15year-old child who could not love.
she was told that she could not be a part of
the world now but that she must be confined
to penal institution until the hatred left her
heart. Lex veritas.

Snow. Swimming
Pools and Such
According TO Smith

With visible traces of the most recent
snowfall no further away than the nearest
windowsill, it seemed a trifle incongruous
when the County Council turned its attention
this week to outdoor swimming pools. But
the discussion, out of season as it seemed
raised a rather provocative question.
The council is faced with the question of
whether it should enact an ordinance requir-
ing protective fencing around all swimming
pools in the county, and it could well turn out
to be thorny issue. At any rate the council
instructed its legal staff to prepare such an
ordinance for consideration at a future
public hearing
Certainly fences around swimming pools
would seem essential to repel offhour invad-
ers lured by the prospect of a cooling dip on
hot night or early on hot morning And
certainly they're desirable in areas populated
by toddlers and other small children who in.
variably can't resist the fascination of water,
not realizing the danger it presents to those
unskilled at swimming.
On the other hand, does it seem Just right
that owners or operators of swimming pools
should be compelled, by force of law, to erect
such barriers when they are intended pri-
marily to thwart trespassers or to protect
others who really shouldn't be unsupervised
II they're small enough to expose themselves
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1961-01-19

to such danger?
We're not too much bothered about the
prospect of such a law as it applies to public
pools, because when one engages in an opera
ton serving the public, it seems he automati-
cally subjects himself to more rigid regula-
ton. But we are concerned with the invasion
of rights that might ensue if the law were
to be extended to private pools.
For example, how about the artistic folk
who have carefully planned their homes with
view to aesthetic values with carefully
designed poolside patios and other decor? To
some of them, we'd venture, a protective
fence as prescribed by law would become
monster
Then again, there's the question of the
numerous portable pools that have become
popular in recent years The law as pro.
posed would require a fence around any
body of water or container" having depth
of more than IS inches and intended for
swimming = in such cases the fence itself
would cost more than the plastic pool
The whole thing needs lot of clarified.
ton, and We'll be anxious to see the first
draft of the proposed new law However it
might be written, though, we feel sure it will
provide an interesting topic of discussion
when it starts getting tossed around by the
citizenry in public hearing.

THERE is much merit in the entire package of legisla-
tive bills designed to help the aged now pending in
Annapolis and strongly backed by Montgomery County
Delegate Mrs Margaret Schweinhaut but one in parcu
lar strikes us real standout.
1t is the proposal to authorize Maryland localities to
grant tax exemptions up to certain specific amounts on
property owned and occupied by the elderly 1t might
well be the Of averng what conceivaby could be
one of the most shameful and frustrating experiences of
the twilight years
Most of our elderly, if they have been home buyers
own their property by the time they reach the advanced
years and rejoice at their freedom from the tenacious grip
OF mortgage payments But, under present system
OF taxation they still responsible for the taxes on
their homes and in many instances pension and retire
ment benefits inadequate to meet both the costs of
living and the tax payments.
If it comes right down to the narrow choice of
substituting or paying the taxes the choice is obvious
and tragic 1t is not inconceivabe that elderly man
or woman after investing Is 30 years home of his
or her own could lose that home through inability to pay
the taxes and ensuing tax sale.
In this respect the government could well step in and
give some relief to those persons who through the very
act OF long home ownership and payment of taxes have
established themselves solid citizens In view of the
relatively small number of people who might benefit from
such waivers the cost to the government would not be
excessive.
And it could well be the means of allowing SUBJ
remaining years in dignfied independence.

would like to ask DR.. Whittier

Also, if a teacher is afraid of

some teachers have said they
are, what chance does that

School Expansion

THERE is no question in the minds of anyone who has
taken the trouble to ride around county that there
is need for schools And believe the Superin-
tendent of Schools and the Board of Education have
shown good judgment in keeping up with expansion and
in planning for more facilities.
It is the easiest thing in the world to look back on
our tremendous and unbelievable growth and say our
school officials should have orseen the explosive rise in
population and bought land and built schools when prices
down. But things aren't quite that simple If they
were, all of us would be wealthy.
Dr. Whittier in his capital budget calls for an increase
of four million dollars over this years figure for capital
expenditures. This includes five million dollar item for
construction of two new high schools which not
scheduled for completion until 1864
It has been suggested by the sympathetic but realistic
Allied Civic Groups that a portion of this amount,
especially that amount that is not needed for immediate
plans and construction be deeted.
The Allied Groups very wisely pointed out that the
cost of schools should not be budgeted until near an
expected completion date This civic organization also
asked that almost half million dollars be deIeted for
the construction of gymnasium for Montgomery Junior
College.
We get the feeling that the members of the Allied
Civic Groups have given the capital budget of the Super
ntendent of Schools considerable study and are making
sound suggestions.
It seems to us the Superintendent and the School
Board and several of the loyal supporters should be willing
to build the most essential facilities take care of
sing needs and plan for of the extras when we have
had time to catch economic breath insofar school
construction is concerned
It is understandable why certain individuals and
organizations enthusiastically behind Dr. Winters
capital budget They would be just enthusiastic had he
asked for an additional ten million dollars.
1t is to be hoped however, that the School Board in
its wisdom will consider all facts and come up with final
capital budget that is both realistic and in tune with
actual and projected needs

Sound Economy

COUNTY officials learned this week that several large
financial institutions believe economy to be sound
They put in bids for $11 million bond issue at interest
rates lower than that offered last year. This indicates that
the countys position in the bond market is relatively
better, according to Mr. Alex Hancock, Director of
Finance for the county.
Members of our County Council should be pleased
with this endorsement They should know and we GER
tainy do that financial companies do not bid on bonds
by whim or because our rolling hills are beautiful
We hope the Council continues to be aware of the
great responsibility that it has and will not allow anything
to knock it from the course of sound financial policies

Newly elected Republican Congressman
Mac Matthias has the makings of highly
successful Representative of the Sixth Mary
land District.
This young man from Frederick isn't
going to miss many political opportunities.
This is the reason we look for him to blast
Governor Tawes for his actions concerning
the important redistricting of the Congress.
s0nal representation.
The Governor invited last week all of the
Maryland Congressman except Matthias, to a
private dinner in Annapolis to talk about the
problems of redistricting. And even though
Matthias is a Republican and the other five
are Democrats, most observers believe the
issue is not partisan one and that the Gov
ernor should not treat it as such. He should
have included the Representative of the Sixth
District which is one of the largest and most
important districts in the United States. And
Matthias, elected in November, considers him.
self the representative in the U.S. Congress
of all of the people in the Sixth District, not
just Republicans And Governor Tawes
should consider himself the Governor of all
of the people in Maryland and realize that
SllOulu llOl De dIty
Furthermore Governor Tawes would ap.
pear to be a much more important public
figure if he could take leaf from Kennedy's
book He does not believe all members of the
Republican Party are to be avoided regardless
of the situation. The Presdentelect certain
ly hasn't hesitated to appoint good Republi.
cans to high office And Tawes, even though
he has always been a Democratic Party
worker and job-holder, should wake up to a
new era.
1t is evident that the Governor and the
Democratic Party people who surround him
want to chop up a section of Maryland for
the new Seventh Congressional District in
order to get rid of LangfOrd and make IL pos.
sible to get Lansdale Sasscers son elected to
q seat in Congress.
We hope Governor Tawes can rise above
Party politics in this important matter of re-
districting. However, there seems very little
chance of this He just isn't built this way.
Therefore, look for a heavy blast from almost
every section of the Free State Matthias will
probably be the first to sound off officially.

They are pretty young women who do ire

why they don't like to see irresponsible kids
running around recklessly in automobiles.
But they admit themselves that parents are
inclined to be too lenient Therefore, the

to get more laws on the books laws
that are difficult to enforce and laws full of
loopholes

is the sixth child of the Sullivans. And while
it is good news that the pretty little girl was

was cooed over in the same Georgetown Hos

when little John F. Kennedy, Jr arrived. This
should provide some mutual feeling between
the Kennedys and the Sullivans Wonder if
they got an invite to the Inauguration?

rim and over the future water
level. Some excess wax was left
in the bottom and the nail
holder was put into the mid
die Of it. Now the container
was ready for action with a
securely fastened holder.
The peonies also need to be
prepared for an arrangement.
They may last in water with
out willing, but you are better
off when you make sure that
they will stay fresh. There is
a simple way. Just turn your
gas or electric burner to high
and when you have maximum
heat, put the stems of your
flowers on the coil and wait
until they are charred. Then
put those stems into a bucket
or pitcher full Of water. The
longer you leave them the
more hardened they will get.
No matter where you cut the
stems again to achieve your
design, the flowers will stay
fresh much longer.
Since I did not grow peonies
for exhibition, I left the side
buds, in fact I prefer the
different sizes, tight buds,
half-opened and fully opened
flowers. Believe me, the flower
arranger lives here in oppo-
sition to the horticulturist,
who looks for the perfection
specimen.
A tall bud Is arranged high
above the center of the con-
tainer, holding its baby sister
at an easy distance. Two lovely
pink, single peonies are placed
somewhat shorter, again sur
rounded by peppy little buds.
Close to the rim and partly
overlapping it, a large double
white peony finishes the ver-
tical axis. Thick buds on the
left side are balanced by a
half-open flower on the right,
pink Semidouble flowers check
a group of sassy Shell-pink
buds which are trying eagerly
to unfurl their silken petals.
Tall, delicate and handsome,
elegance is the keynote Of our
arrangement and I just wish
you could see the glorious
colors.
