Members Split On Question
Of Debating Subject Matter

School Board members split sharply this week the
question of how far they should go in debating what and
how the county's school children taught
-Four of the members indicated they are as in
erested in keeping close control classroom subjects
as they do over school sites and construction details
These included Dr. Clifford K. Beck Robert E. Nor
row. Mrs Lucille Maurer and Paul c. Howard.
Said Howard: This Board will direct and resolue like
crazy when it to line-but when we get to
something at the heart of education we're too often salts
fled to communicate with staff"
The Board cant always depend staff experts to
make the broadcast overall decisions in curriculum mat
ters said DR. Beck while Morrow declared he sees Every
little point in using up all time business and admin
tratve details"
when it comes time to take stand on educational
issues, we should" Morrow added
Remaining Board members William r. Thomas
president Dr. Harold Breimyer and Mrs Lucy Kicker
said they inclined rely on the recommended

At the same time, the county
heads elevated Judge John B.
Diamond to Chief Judge Of
Peoples Court, succeeding
Judge Christensen in the posi-
ton of seniority.
Walker, a Bethesda attorney
and former member of the
County Council, was selected
from among three attorneys
recommended by the Montgom-
cry County Bar Association to
succeed Judge Christensen, who
died last month.
In appointing Walker to the
new post, the County Council
also re-appointed Judge Samuel
Gordon as a substitute judge of
Peoples Court. Judge Gordon's
new term will begin in June.
The appointments were made
after interviews by Council
members in their second nipple
mentation of a new policy of
personally questioning all ap-
plicants for county office.
Council President David L.
Cahoon announced that although
the appointments were made
without recommendations from
the Democratic State Central
Committee, which has expressed
interest in suggesting candi-
dates, the Council will welcome
recommendations from both the
Democratic and Republican
State Central Committee in the
future.
He explained Walkers APP
pointment was made under
pressure of time, as soon as pos
sible after Judge Christensen's
death.
In other actions at its meet
ing this week, the County Cour.
Gil decided to buy the 120acre
wooded tract outside Southlawr
on which it held an option,
as the site for the county's new
high capacity refuse incinerator.
The county is expected to
move swiftly to contract for de-
sign and construction of the in
Generator, while completing final
negotiations to take over refuse
collection and disposal from the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission.

Discrimination
Protest Filed

A Rockville woman this week
became the first to file a com.
plant about discrimination in a
public place under the county's
new equal service law.
In a protest to County Man.
ager Mason A. Butcher, Mrs.
Henry Magruder, 712 Douglas
ave-, reported that a group of
IL Negro children she took to
the Dalamar Roller Rink and
Bowling Lanes in Gaithersburg
Sunday night for a skating
party was refused admittance at
the door.
The establishments manager,
she said, told them it had been
reserved for a private group
that night.
Mrs. Magruder added, how
ever, that she had not been in
formed of a private party when
she phoned earlier to ask about
skate rentals and the charge per
skater.

The area in question covers
about Is acres in Edgemore
bounded by Wilson la. on the
north, Elm st. on the south, Wis
consin ave. on the east and Arl-
ington I'd. on the west.
In a meeting of the two or
CARNATIONS this week, officials
agreed to propose to the Coun-
ty Council that the area be zon-
ed as a commercial park-slml-
lar to the industrial parks now
going into a number of sections
of the county.
They also suggested single
ownership of the area instead
of multiple ownership.
Some of the proposed pur-
poses of such an area they came
I'D with include a recreation
and public parking area, a shop
ping center or perhaps even an
apartment area.
First step by the two organ
izations, however, is to attempt
to prevent spot coming by coun-
ty authorities. They will Off
cially oppose a rezoning apph-
cation which has been submit
ted for 1905 Montgomery la. for
a change from residential to
commercial.
According to James A. Barr,
executive secretary of the B-CC
Chamber, the aim of the two
groups is to prevent what
could be a commercial slum
area. We would like to see the
area developed as coordinated

Taking part in this weeks
meeting were Bernard F. Hill.

Among unusual attachments
is a wire hamper for dirty

The provision of drawer
space behind doors rather

adaptable idea. The drawers

Questions and Answers
Question. We have just
bought a house that has, in
the living room, mahogany
ceiling beams and woodwork.
For this room we have a vio-
let colored sofa and lady's
chair. The mans chair is
striped in varying shades of
violet. What color should /
paint the walls? Should I
paint the woodwork and
beams or leave them as they
are? Also, what about the
draperies, carpet and access
sories? s
Answer. What would you
think of white walls, keeping
the woodwork and beams in
mahogany? With this have
a muted, off-green shade for
the rug. The draperies could
be a print, one with a white
ground that combines the
violet and the green. I also
think a touch of brilliant
emerald green in some of the
accessories would be attrac-
tive.
