l just want to congratulate
you on your editorial in sup
port of the incumbents of the
school board seeking reelec-
ton. You hit upon the most
important aspect of the school
board election this year by
emphasizing the fact that the
opposition to the incumbents
is totally negative. They have
no program of Improvement
but instead their efforts are
directed to reducing the quail
ity of the educational pro.
gram in Montgomery County
through the guise of reducing
taxes, cut spending.
In my book the incumbents
have done a good job, well
deserving of being continued
in office. My children have
long been graduated from
Montgomery schools-but 1 am
still glad to pay the taxes to
keep Montgomery County
schools among the best in the
country.
Again, it gives me great
satisfaction to see a county
newspaper take the side of
progress such as expressed in
your editorial.

From time to time during the current high school foot
ball season there has been breakdown in the county
school systems policy of having both physician
ambulance standing by at football games.
The way the system works. school officials explain is
to have the office of the supervisor of education arrange
before each game with the Montgomery County Medical
Society to have doctor at the game And the individual
school itself makes the necessary arrangements for
ambulance through the local fire department
squad
School officials say, and agree that it should be
mimal to have physician attending the game. And the
presence of ambulance is highly desirable The fact
that breakdowns have occurred however, raises the ques-
ton OF whether the system being followed is the best
one. The fact is that games have been played without
physician present And there have been games with no
ambulance present.
With everyone concedng the deSirabity of having
both physician and ambulance present at the games which
canand often dobecome quite brusing the school sys-
tenn is correct in trying to devise ways of working out
system to insure that this highly desirable goal be met
AS we understand it. the physician is offered $40
fee for his at the game and the physicians usually
turn the fee back to the school, The ambuances are donated
by the various departments.
The obligation on the part of the individual fire de-
partments to have ambulance standing by at all games
is it to u.s. rather heavy one In view of the fact
that almost all fire departments receive large sums of
public tax money, it would they should assume with
out hesitation the public responsibility of providing service
it is needed The matter of how to solve the prob
lem of physicians in frequently not showing up the games
is somewhat more sensitive Obviously, the only
of action here appeal either to the physicians
public sprtedness to sharply increase the fee he re-
ceives BOTH And believe either one or the other
or bot-shoud be followed if future breakdowns in the
system are to be avoided
Another course of action may well be consideration by
the school board of firm regulaons-o which there are
now none-to call the game off if physician is not in
attendance Howing fans would object srenuously no
doubt But healthy safe nterschoo rivalry should be the
public school goal rather than developing candidates for
AAmercan rating. We believe the School Board should
look into this.
