From This Angle
Despoilers on the Rampage

AS you drive along the County Roads at
night, your headlights are reflected in
hundred winking flashes from the side of the
road. If you will walk along the road during
the day, you will see these reflectors, the
refuse of those despoilers who take the good
things of our civilization and leave litter
trail of beer cans, bottles, and trash behind
them.
Travel to some of the beauty spots of the
county. Whether it be a quiet country road
or the smooth-pebbed bank of quiet stream,
you will usually find that the despoilers have
been there before you. A litter of papers
under the trees, beer cans strewn about on the
grass or bobbing along the edges of the
stream, or mess of garbage dumped in the
corner of wood lot mark the travels of this
pest.
The common variety of despoilers throws
whatever trash he wishes to get rid of at
whatever point he happens to be; but there
is another type This other one is the sneak
who is not only despoiler but also a do-it-
yourself fan. This type makes his own dump,
not by disgardng his trash at random, but
by saving his trash and garbage for a week
or more and then dumping it all at once on
some farmers land or by the side of lonely
country road. This despoiler is too cheap to
pay for garbage collection and too lazy to
carry it to the city dump.
Many farmers find it necessary to clear
the edges of their pastures that are adjacent
to welltraveled highways to prevent the cattle
from cutting their feet on broken glass. Per-
haps the most satisfactory solution to this
problem for person living i'm the country ia
that taken by one farmer He saw a doit-

weeks supply of garbage and trash in the
corner of his woodIOt. This despoiIer care
Iessly left in his trash many old envelopes
bearing his name and address in a nearby
town. The farmer carefully gathered all the
trash and garbage and at two o'clock in the
morning Deposited it on the despOiler's front
lawn.
Education will probably have little effect
on those despoilers so insensitive to beauty
that they consider the county as Just place
the highway runs through. To such individ-
uals, cans, bottles and papers strewn along
the highway are unimportant Probably a
good stiff fine is the only way to teach such
people to mind their manners, although years
ago heard of military group that used an
effective method of teaching their men not to
throw matches on the floor of the barracks.
The match-thrower and the match were
brought to the sergeant who carefully placed
the match in a box. At three o'clock in the
morning the match-thrower and the rest of
his squad were marched five miles out in the
woods where they dug six foot hole and
buried the match. The floor of this particular
barracks was reported to be singularly free
of matches.
AS our population grows and more and
more cars take to the road, we will probably
some day be driving through banks of beer
cans and bottles on each side of the road
unless some method is found to educate the
despoilers. People who will not police them.
selves have to be pOliced A two cent deposit
on beer cans and bottles would do much to
keep our highways clean, for those containers
thrown away would soon be picked I'D and
turned in for the refund.

Welsh Rare BIZ

On July 25, 1861, I made hurried trip
to Rockville from Ocean City, which has been
torn apart by storms and riots and which is
humourously called 1.-THE Land of Pleasant
Living" The purpose of this trip was to
meet a Foreign Exchange Student at the
Washington Bus Station who had come there
all the way from Torino, Italy. Her name
was Alessandra Cecilia Celia Maria Buffa.
Her nickname was "Dindina," and, as time
wore on, 1 called her I'D" for short
Dindna had been assigned to us, or,
we had been assigned to her, by the
American Field Service which is an Or
ganization that started in World War l.
This organization, which has headquar-
tiers in New York. originated in war; and
from the horrors which daily shocked
the souls of the men who drove the am
balances on the fields which were only
waystations to Flanders Fields, an idea
came into being.
This idea was that from war there must
come peace and that war is the result of
misunderstanding which results from broken
down communications, and that if the men
and women of the world could only under
stand that the same blood runs through us
ALL that mankind, by and large is born of
the same womb sucked at the same breast,
is frustrated by the same limitations, and
seeks common grave, that perhaps man.
kind would be less likely to engage in war.
True it was only an idea, but then ideas
come to men when they are picking steel
from scraps of brains and are carting human
meat from trench into the light to remove
dog-tag. And some of these ideas are
apt to last. Such was the the idea which
prompted the founding of the American Field
Service.
And has this idea withered? There
have been World Wars, Korean Wars,
Berlin Walls, local wars and cold wars;
and it looks as though it is always "open

Brovo for Council

There's persistent going the rounds Of the
ty these days of collection being taken up buy spangd
tights and circus band for members of the County Coun
Gil
Such highly-sklled tightrope act they put for
the voters benefit over the controversial IBM line
deserves the proper accoutrements, it seems.
The Council is to be congratulated on having salts
fled virtually everyone concerned in this major decision
at least on the surface The casual observer will nques
tonaby feel Council members showed commendabe fore
sight and forcefuness in the restrictions it imposed in
agreeing allow the Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission lay in line through broad sweep of n-
developed open space west of Gathersburg.
But this paper is hardly casual observer. The same
can be said great many county citizens whose
for the countys future growth has been nurured either
by intent by sheer exposure to the increasing din Gre
ated by those genuinely interested in protecting green
from increasing nroads by land spectators and de-
velopers
Whether the Council, by banning connections into the
WSSC sewer outside the Commissions existing sanitary
district is providing any than lip service to OPEN
space advocates becomes serious question in the minds
of such citizens
Though the Council agrees not to support any pro-
posas Annapolis extending the sanitary district be-
You'd its present boundaries except implement adopted
and approved master plans" the facts are these:
spokesman for the WSSC has been quoted say
ing the Commission pay for and build any facilities it
chooses outside its district eff it is necessary to provide
service to contiguous areas The spokesman brushed
off questions why the WSSC had been proposed
for construction outside its legal boundary in the first place
with the comment that there is already enough existing
coming to justify the construction"
The WSSC has historically had strong voice in An
napols and it is questionable how effective refusal by
the Council to in any future boundary extension
would be in overcoming it.
Pressure from land developers is to grow in the
along the sewers course, and the Planning Commits
sons planning director Arthur Stellhorn wasn't just
mounting empty phrase when he told the Council he
didn't think "anyone in this naive to say
it won't.
Extended inability of the planners and the council to
reach accord the Commissions adopted master plan for
the Gathersburg indicates it will be time be-
fore the county heads have the adopted and approved
blueprint to guide them in accepting rejecting any pro-
posal for extension of the sanitary district
The WSSC has right to be happy the Councils
compromise for has lost nothing can't regain by smart
maneverng. With those concerned with protecting and
maintaining the integrity of master plans for the area
we sympathize. And to the County Council we say
'Bravo" for the best tghtrope performance in years.

What Are Rights

Congratulations on obtaining
the services of Les Kimble to
write the column From This
Angle" The vitriolic attacks
made against him only serve
to emphasize the effectiveness
of his writing. We need more
people like him and we are
particularly fortunate in hav-
ing him on the local scene. He
does a magnificent job of as
sembling the facts and putting
them together in a simple
straightforward narrative.
And may / say a word about
the Regents prayers case?
From the many letters I have
read attacking the Supreme
Court and all who support the
recent decision, 1 come to only
one conclusion, that an aston
ishing number of people do
not recognize the difference be-
tween individual rights and
community desire.
Most parents would agree
that it is their fright" to in
still and inculcate in the minds
of their children those ideals
and values which they, the par
ents, have found durable and
satisfying. It is the uncondi-
tional fright" of each one of
these parents to impress his
religious views upon the child,
to teach him to pray or not to
pray, in accordance with the
religious philosophy of the
home. Also, it is evident that
it is the desire" of millions in
this country to have their chill
dren pray in school. But this
cannot be compared with a
right.
Just as the Protestant, the
Catholic, the Mohammedan,
and other pious sects have
rights, so have the atheists,
the agnostics, the millions of
unchurched, and more millions
of devout believers who do not
agree with what appears to be
the majority that school is the
place for prayers.
Unquestionably, neither Prot
estant nor Catholic, if they
were in the minority, would
want an atheist promulgating
prayers" for their children. 1t
would be their absolute right
to resist the encroachments of
atheists attempting to push
the recitation of prayers" in
the schools. Even more, it
would be their duty to resist
such an invasion of their 1.-THE
minority's) religious freedom.
But rights" do not flow only
to the majority. They envelop
and protect each and every
citizen. And where the basic
right of even one citizen suf-
fers on account of the desire"
of the many, the desire of the
masses must yield. 1t is only
in the unfolding the basic
rights of even a single person
that the same rights are sus.
tanned for the masses.
1t is more than a right, it is
the sacred duty of every par.
ent to teach his children his
conception of what is good and
right and just. The schools can
help in this very important
job. But it is the responsibility
solely of the parent to teach
religion, and the place for that
is in the home and in the
Church of your choice"-not
in the public schools.
People who believe in pray
er should follow the mandate
of their bible, Matthew 6:5/8.
