The Germans started two
world wars, and now are furn-

Germans stay divided, 1 say,
and don't let us ever again
lose one life over them.
But here is the kernel of it:
We don't have clean hands

brutal events in the 10th Cen
fury, in my opinion, were the
German atrocities against the

Peaches Of the Vineyard

Each year those who harvest the grapes
of Italy enjoy the fruit from the peach trees
which grow between the grape arbors. think
it is worth pointing out how it has come to be
that those who harvest the grape eat the
peach. A lesson in living is there.
The grape arbors grow in parallel rows
and are separated from each other by too
much land to waste but not enough land upon
which to plant large fruit tree. The Italian
farmer has for hundreds of years planted
small peach trees between the arbors. Appar-
emily these trees do not grow tall enough to
shade out the grape vines, but nevertheless
bear fruit which is enjoyable. However,
the peaches from the vineyard are never mar.
keted. They are eaten by the farmer as he
works in the vineyard. The vineyard peach
trees bloom later, mature later and their fruit
is harvested later than the bloom and the
fruit from their sister peach trees. They are
in no sense commercial orchards and the sole
reason for the existence of the peach trees
which blossom among the grape arbors is for
man to enjoy. AS I understand it. the men
and women who enjoy the benefits of this
fruit tree have not debased it, nor corrupted
it, nor commercialized it, or interfered with
its purpose of living

ones And 1t Is shocking the number of NON
ers and fathers who neglect this very impor
tant phase of child's education.
The world is filled with all types Of per-
sons and all types of things that interest some
and not Others. And there is no doubt In the
world that life might be much happier il OnIy
the most beautiful things were known and
enjoyed. But unfortunately all things aren't
beautiful. And unfortunately all persons are
not as nice as one might hope.
It is too bad all of this Juror has been
raised over a book that doesn't deserve this
much attention And we hope the issue is
soon settled so we can begin telling you about
some of the common and sensational reading
the children can get their hands on with little
or no effort.
Here is an item that is completely oppo.
site to the one just mentioned. We visited
Wake Forest College over the weekend and
had an opportunity to go to the football game
between this school and the University of
Virginia
II the students Of our schools could have
stood there at the entrance to the stadium
prior to the game, they would have been just
as impressed as we were. Furthermore, had
the parents Of many Of our students been
there they would have a renewed faith in the
young people-at least, these young people.
The young ladies were well groomed and
well dressed. And without exception, all of
them wore sensible shoes. And the young
men were in suits, shirts and ties. Some had
on sport coats but all were wearing shirts
and ties
During the football game the behavior
was the best we had ever seen at a football
game.
Saturday afternoon at Wake Forest gave
us a warm feeling and great hope in the
young people Of today.
This is the complete opposite picture Of
ones we have seen in our own junior highs,
high schools and colleges. We wish all Of
the young people of Montgomery County
would take leaf from the book of those stu.
dents in that southern college in North Caro-
lima and realize it isn't necessary to 60 around
in sneakers, uncombed hair and shirttails

disagree with what he says.
Streets Of our Nations capital

be unsafe for citizens after
darkness falls, for groups of
human wolves, turned into
vicious, savage creatures by
our culture, prey on all who
do not have the protection of

news magazine reports the
prolonged persecution of a
couple in San Francisco by
groups of teen-agers, some
the sons of a policeman; this
persecution included obscene
telephone calls, windows of
their home shot out and
broken out with bottles, swas-
tikas painted on the house,
their car tires slashed and the
body smeared with paint, and

Why? = apparently because
of their religion.
There is truly a cancer
gnawing at our society. That
cancer is a chase, a chase of
such speed and intensity that
the cloud of dust thrown up
obscures our ideas, our values,
our principles, and our morals.
The object of that chase Is
easily identified because all of
us are after it to some extent.
It goes under various names

our libraries? Shall we reduce
all reading material there to
the level considered fit for our
teen-agers?
Why stop at reading mate
rial? 1t is probable that beer,
wine, and spirits sometimes
fall in the hands of those con.
sidered too young to drink.
Shall we forbid the sale of all
alcoholic beverages because
some of it falls into the hands
of teen-agers.
1t Is obvious that dancing
sometimes produces undesir-
able effects on the emotions
of our teen-agers. Shall we
outlaw dancing or any other
form of close physical contact
between the opposite sexes in
our high schools?
BY all means let us keep
books like the Tropic of Can
Ger out of the hands of our
younger teen-agers, but do not
try to prevent adults from
buying or borrowing a book
just because it is considered
unfit for the young. What Mr..
Scull and many other Ameri-
cans have forgotten is the duty
of the parents to teach and
control their children. Unless
our children are taught the
proper values of life, no CEN
sorship, no prohibitions, or any
other restrictions will prevent
the normal drives of our
young men and women from
producing tragedies.
Mr.. Scull has not really
identified the cancer that is
gnawing at the vitals of our
society,"" Our rivers and
streams, once bright and
sparkling In the sunlight and
filled with life, now run turbid,
sterile, and sinking through

Vote

Judge James H. Pugh's decision with regard to
the refusal by Board of Appeals member to vote in
coming because of conflict of interest should
put end to the tendency the part of appointed
and elected officials to take the easy way out in
troversial issues.
The member, Philip M. Fairbanks, claimed the
conflict stemmed from his one-time service attor-
ney for of the rezoning applicants while his SYM
pathies lay with his former neighbors who opposed
the application. AS result of his failure to act the
case has remained deadlocked by "a vote.
AS Judge Pugh pointed out in his ruling, the
sons advanced by Mr. Fairbanks to justify his inacon
are neither substantial nor grave enough to permit
the Board of Appeals member to evade his RESPONSE
blities.
There has been entirely too much of this kind of
pleading by those elected or appointed to public
agencies permitted to go unchallenged it could tie
up decisions on important cases for years.
On the national scene, for example, man elected
to Congress is expected to vote all issues regard
less of how dstastefu difficult it may be for him
to stand up and be counted.
The holds true for our county officials
Their duty is clear = they must make decision, for
or against. There is no room for maybe" or out
right refusal to VOTE Anyone elected or appointed to
public office must know this when he accepts his new
duties If he finds that he cannot discharge his re-
sponsiblities to the people this basis he should
return to private life.

An evil act cannot result in a

In my opinion, part of the
reason for our soft, protective
attitude towards Germany is
because we cannot face the
reality of what the United
States has done and take our
medicine. Therefore we don't
want the Germans to take
theirs either. In other words.
most of us feel too guilty to

1t is my personal and firmly

Then we will be clean and
trustworthy and events will

ly convinced that a war
would be no worse than a

I can, perhaps, add a little
to Wick Byron's remarks.
Our Secretary Of Defense
(what a misnomer!) has re.
vealed that our first strike
against the Soviet Union will
deliver items of thousands of
atomic warheads" and he went
on to add that we possess
the capability, should it be
necessary, of making several
strikes of this magnitude. If
we take the average size of
the atomic warhead to be ten
megatons land in view of re-
cent developments I suspect
that this may be an underesti-
mattel the total tonnage which
we will deliver to the Soviets
on our initial strike will be of
the order of several hundred
thousands Of megatons.
I think that in view of
known Soviet capabilities in
missiles and in atomic weap-
ons it would be extremely
foolish to assume that their
initial strike capabilities are
substantially less than ours.
Our planning should therefore
be based on an initial Soviet
strike of the order of 250,000
megatons of nuclear explo-
sives.

Delaying Action

The Councils 8 2 vote last week rejecting the
Park and Planning Commissions three area master
plans is dsservce to the of orderly planning
in Montgomery County.
The three plans, which cover 90-square- mile
area in the heart of the county, represent nearly two
years of concentrated effort by the planning agency
and its technical staff Perhaps there are those who
believe this concentrated effort lacking in several
areas but nevertheless, it their best work The
plans, seems to us, do lack bold imagination.
To make certain in their minds that they were
on the right track, Commission members employed
Harland Bartholomew noted planning consultant, to
review their recommendations. Mr.. Bartholomew
found the plans generally satisfactory.
Although full public hearings were held by the
Commission on the plans the Council decided to hold
its own hearings. study of the transcript of the
testimony at the Councils hearings reveals an i'm
pressive measure Of citizen support of the plans.
Despite all this, minority of the seven-member
Council has found the plans unsatisfactory The ques
ton now arises unsatisfactory to whom?
David L. Cahoon, who has emerged as the leader
Of the anti Commission bloc on the Council contends
the plans lack Community acceptance" Yet organ
ICED civic groups almost unanimously have Endorsed
the plans.
Councilman Stanley B. Frosh claims the plans
do not reflect land use proposals OF the National
Gapltal Regional framing COuncNS Year ZUUU Ran
for the Washington Metropolitan Area. But maps
presented to the Council several months ago by the
Park and Planning Commission show clearly that the
master plans fit directly into the so-called
ridor concept of the Year 1000 Plan.
It seems to us that Council President William F.
Hickey and Councilman Grover Walker, who opposed
the motion to reject the plans, hit the nail on the
head when they warned that the move would ''styme
orderly growth" in the county.
There can be no other Interpretation of an action
that is not only illogical but dangerous AS Mr. Hickey
so aptly pointed out, any further delay in implement
ing the plans can result only in uncontrolled growth
in an area where development pressures are partc-
uarly acute.
Actually, the Council has no planning authority.
It cannot adopt reject master plans; this is the
Planning Commissions function. The Council does
have power to approve deny the planning agencys
coming recommendations, which are based on adopted
master plans.
Thus, what the three Council members are do
ing, in effect is telling the Planning Commission to
stop the preparation of detailed zonng maps to carry
out the generaized recommendations of the three
master plans.
We hope they will reconsider their ill-advised
decision in the interest of the welfare of the vast
jority of Montgomery County residents.

PEPPER1DGE FARM CoNN.-Margaret Ruddn
today announced new soft-textured bread,
specially baked for children.
She calls her new bread Pepperidge Farm
White Sandwich Bread, because it makes the
most appetizing sandwiches any mother ever
packed into lunchbox, or served with soup, or
fed hungry child at snack time
The story behind the new bread
Mothers have always known that the breads
Margaret Rudkin bakes at Pepperidge Farm
are wonderfully nutritious for children. But
Pepperidge Farm breads have always been
firm-textured.
Adults love firm, bread. But children like
bread to be soft and moist and squeezoble.
Evening star., 1961-10-12
Four years to develop the new bread

The conclusion was obvious. Mrs. Rudkin had
to add sott-tertured loaf to her line. But it
wasn't that simple. It took Mrs. Rudkin four
years to develop her new bread because she
set fantastic standards for it.
1t had to haze the same nouriShing good
ness as every other Pepperidge Farm loaf.
Ithad to haze the same tresh-baked favor
and aoelcon,ing aroma. And soitkout tast-
ing gunenuy or fiat like ordinary Vhite
breads, 1t had to haze soft feature!
In spite of all her self-imposed restrictions,
Mrs. Rudkin did it. Today, she has a healthful
bread with the soft texture children adore-full
of the wholesome nutritious ingredients their
growing bodies need-and a delicious, non
gummy flavor.
0Id-fashioned baking methods
What makes new Pepperidge Farm White
Sandwich Bread different from ordinary soft
white breads? The secret is in the way Mrs.
Rudkin bakes her bread, and in the ingredi

Mrs. Rudkin's new bread is not one of those fad
dish "health" breads. But because it is baked
with such good, wholesome ingredients, it is a
marvelously healthful bread.
New bread approved by
panel Of child experts
When the first loaf of Mrs. Rudkin's "soft"
bread came out of the oven, she invited a panel
of children to taste it-and test it.
Some slices were eaten plain. Some toasted.
Some buttered. Others made sandwiches.
The decision was unanimous The children
liked the texture-soft, not gummy. They liked
the flavor. They liked the bread.
