Letter to the Editor

Dear Sir:
Oakland in these latter years is
a village of clean pavemcnts and
streets When living here as a
child in the horse and buggy days
the town was not as we'll organized
and we had multitudes of sparroWs
cleaning up after the horses who
carried our burdens over the
streets And much of the pave
ment of the town was then a path
through luxurious weeds or across
a rickety boardwalk Oakland has
progressed.
But when | recall the much-used
paths of our nature provided
botanical garden that played out
in every direction | am wondering
if the old town hasn't forgotten
something. Julia McHenry Fran
cess Howard who died two sum-
mers ago shorty after arriving for
the summer season, commented
frequently in her last days that
strolling into Oaklands hintcr-
lands was no longer a fine art;
there were no opportunities for
exercise
There was a particular area on
the edge of town that most every
body frequented This was the Oak
land hotel grounds with its maple
grove. its lawns, flower beds,
shrubs and tan bark paths-all
kept as trim as the couture of a
fashionable lady | can recall fire.
quent walks in June with Dr.
Joseph Harmed through this grove
to Schaffers Hill, one of his ia
vorite spots for botanising. On our
way back we would stop at Wash
ington Spring where he would open
his box and sprinkle specimens of
Lady Slippers and Solomon's Seal,
etc
When the hotel was dismantled
the surrounding park soon re-
Verted to jungle. But there was at
least one lady in town who compile
mented the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad with respect and pride
for our richly-gifted landscape.
This was Miss Lottie Loar. With
the assistance of the Oakland Civic
club she planted pine trees where
once the hotel stood Several years

Sixth District-MaryIand
Federal Aid 10 Education


On Thursday of last week the
United States Senate approved
legislation to provide a S2.5 billion
federal aid program to public
elementary and secondary schools
The 1882 roll call vote followed
eight days Of debate in the Senate
Action is expected in the House
on similar legislation next week.
Under the provisions of the bill as
passed by the Senate the State of
Maryland will receive $13, 656,O61 in
aid during the first year. A states
entitlement is determined by for
mulae based on per capita income
and number OF schoo! age children
The amount of aid to the various
states ranges from 1925 per school
age child in Connecticut to S2774
per child in South Carolina and
Mississippi. Maryland's entitlement
would be S1720 per school age
child. 1t also included impacted
area aid in the same bill AS you
already know | have fully sup
ported impacted area aid to
schools, but l oppose the attempt
to force it into a single educational
package with new proposals that
require separate consideration and
debate.
The legislation that provides aid
for public elementary and sec
ondary schools has been the sub
ject of extended coverage by the
news media and as a result other
legislation providing for aid to
higher education is not as familiar
to the public as its importance re-
quires that it should be. On MAY
% the House Education and Labor
Committee reported the so-called
Higher Education Bill to the House
of Representatives and since |
discussed such a program during
the campaign, l would like to re-
view it with you.
The Higher Education Bill pro-
vides for loans and grants for con-
struction of academic facilities for
higher education over a period of
five years. The bill authorizes eX-
pcnditures of $3.50 million per year
in grants to all accredited private
and public colleges, universities,
junior colleges and community
colleges. In order to receive a
grant for construction of academic
facilities, the recipient would be
required to provide funds on a
matching basis. The formula of
matching funds provides that the
Federal Government may as
sumo up to one third of the total
cost The bill also provides $120
million per year in loans for the
same purpose.
A program of assistance grants
for needy students of superior
ability is included in the bill Dur
ing the first year of operation of
the program, a total of $50 million
would be appropriated for the use
of deserving students to meet col
! legc costs. An increase to $50 mil

later the Carnation Milk COM
pany bought a portion of this area
and erected a milk plant Within
the fence enclosure all is kept
neat
But there is a considerable area
I especially on the south side of
Little Yough and across from the
station of the B & O that is in
accessible and wildly unattractive
Its owner the b & o, has no longer
reason to keep it trim. However
it is certain that this historic rail-
road would allow the town Of Oak
land to convert it into a park, for
token rent. 1t would be an OPP
portunily for Oakland to show
forth its appreciation to the rail-
road that established mere sta
tion in 1851, the first station on top
of any mountain in the world.
