to answer. The facts regarding each candi
date and his answers to the questions are
published in the Voters Guide, which is made
available, without charge, to the citizens Of

Not all candidates care to answer the

answers on medical care for the aged by two

Role Of the Teacher

Two studies on factors that affect the morale of
county teachers were made public last week and both of
them were highly productive The School administration
is to be commended for continuing such studies that en-
able II to do better Job
In one study, 1t found that many teachers who
replied to QUESTIONABLE after they resigned from the
school system did because of excessive pressues and
overload and dislike for administrative and supervisory
practices" as well excessive organization and over
load the educational philosophy and practice and non
teaching duties"
In another study, it was found that more than
third OF the countys secondary school English teachers
now double in BRASS teaching other subjects ranging
from social studies to industrial arts
Neither Of these conditions are easy for the public
to understand.
We do have 'blue chip" school system in which
teachers should be happy. In many areas the main
teacher complaint is poor pay and pupil behavior. In
teresngy the survey found that these complaints that
exist so widely elsewhere almost non existent here
Also Montgomery County teachers are among the best
paid In the Nation They have consistently over the years
earned as much or than any other school system
IN the Washington Yet the study reported an alb
normally high rate of turnover here with about one out
OF every four teachers resgnng after only one year and
about four Of every 10 leaving after their first two years

Ing an extremely serious problem and steps should be
taken to correct It, II there too many meetings too
much red tape too many nonteachng duties as many of
the teachers seem to feel corrective action should be
taken.

are assigned teaching of other subjects in secondary
schools also dsquetng and hope appropriate follow

tricts. This would mean that
the State would have Al legis-
lative districts with one sena.
tor and from 2 to 4 members
in the House.
Montgomery County would
have 3 districts Of one senator
and four members of the
House.
The size of the districts
should be limited to 10 per.
cent above to 10 percent below
the average for the county or
Baltimore City and readjusted

The State Department Of
Health has estimated that the
enrolment figure for the
state will exceed 10000 per.
sons by June 1.
Commenting on the figures,
DR.. Karl F. Mech, legislative
chairman for the Faculty, said
the medical profession in the
State is more than pleased with
the program in its first year.
THE program" he said, has
been widely supported by the
medical profession even though
physicians received no fees for
in-hospital care which includes
surgical care other than pro.
cedures and visits to the pa.
tient."

Sectine Plan

The suburban counties Of
Maryland certainly have Just
claim to more seats in the
Maryland Senate. The present
constitution, in giving Balti.
more City six Senate seats,
recognizes that areas OF great.
er population are entitled to
additional Senate members.
Today, four counties come
In that category. If Baltimore
City has six Senate members,
then Baltimore County should
have three and Montgomery
and Prince Georges should
have two each.
The Maryland Senate could
be increased to Al members
and then divided on a popula.
ton basis with each county
having one member regardless
of how small it was and this
would be the result: Anne
Arundel, 2 members; Balti-
more County, 5 members; Bal.
timore City, 8 members; Mont.
gomery, 3 members; Prince
Georges, 3 members. All other
counties one member each.
This would make all the ur.
ban areas about equal to the
largest counties (Allegany and
Washington but they still
have more than six times the
population of the smallest
counties which only have 49,
600 or so population. This
would be much better than the
80 to / ratio between Balti-
more County and Kent County
on the present set up. Coun.
ties do not have the same rela.

Of medical care programs in ex-
istence in Maryland since the
1905. Last year more than
10000 people Of all ages were
cared for under all programs.
DR.. Mech said coverage under
the MAA and Kerr-Mills Bill for
persons IS years and older Is
unlimited. Hospital and nursing
home care Is provided under
allied programs.
The program is costing each
Maryland taxpayer 81 cents, ac-
cording to DR.. Mech. This pays
for cost Of drugs as well as
home and office visits.
Americans have never been
fed so well for so little, despite
the fact that there are more
people in the U. S. and fewer
farmers to feed them.

THE FLINTSToNEs
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Over in Kansas City lives a
very funny fellow named Bill
Vaughan. The name may be
unfamiliar to you now-but it
won't be for much longer be-
cause a lot of Bills funniest
and cleverest pieces have been
gathered together by Simon &
Schuster into the best-Seiling
and oddly titled book, Bird
Thou Never Vert" and he is
writing more as a syndicated
column.
Here is Vaughan on cliches.
I'VE are researching in depth,
broadcasting in depth. studying
in depth, reporting in depth.
living, dying, fighting. breath
ing, eating in depth. The
after-dinner orator who fails
to call for a broad program of
action in depth might as well
not call for action at all. .
Reflect back a few years to
the birth of the crash program.
1t came from nowhere to uni
versal usage with a rapidity
equaled only by the hula hoop
and the Davy Crockett hat. A
factory or a high school that
didn't have a crash program
was as badly off as if it lacked
a parking lot. There must be
a control center somewhere
which thinks these things up
and disSeminates the cliche of
the month"
Vaughan on the creation of
an image" for a politician:
Some sort of military record
is, of course, imperative. To
achieve this the candidate
'enlists as a private (Which
implies, without saying so, that
he could have enlisted as a
first sergeant if it hadn't been
for his innate modesty) or
accepts a commission Com
missions are always accepted.

say that the candidate wangled

AS I say, a very funny and
perceptive humorist, this
Vaughan. And if the name
still seems unfamiliar, it's be-
cause for many years his COM
mentS have carried the byline,
Senator Soaper." Now that
he has come out from behind
the senatorial alias, my sus-
picion is that you're going to
be hearing and reading a good
deal more from and about him.
We have needed a tart
tongued commentator since the
death of Fred Allen. Vaughan
is my candidate to fill the va
cancy. And don't toss names

the car down to about 40 MPH
and headed it into a bank.
