Strange Things
By Heinie Snider

pr. Will Chase, grand his. torian of Pioneers of Alaska tells us that life was grim along the Southwest coast of Alaska when prehistoric ances- tors of the Indians lived there. Reconstruction of ancient re- rains by Dr. Hideloka. anthro- pologist, gave evidence that when mother died her child was killed and buried with her. Slaves and captured enemies were burned. Remains of a massacre, including a woman's skeleton, with a bone dagger through the heart; a warriors skull with a stone club embed ded and another skull with stone arrow point at the base of the brain, all attest to the re- searchers theory.
 
 Among our most distinguish ed pioneers, of which there are many, we find, to name but few, J. F. A. Strong, gover- nor and journalist; A. J. Dia- mond, delegate to Congress Sidney Lawrence, artist; Jack London, author; Captain Aus tin Lathrop, industrialist; Dr. J. H. Romig, early medical missionary worker and M. D. Snodgrass, agriculturist.

Fair Housing

Formal launching of "fair housing movement here,
announced Monday, will confident be greeted
calmly by Montgomery County residents in the interests of
trying to arrive at constructive solutions to this great
social problem of times.
Principal thing to be borne in mind we believe, Is
that Montgomery County is not being singled out for
social experimentation nor has been selected guinea
pig national leader to pave the way for social pro-
greSS Identical moves are underway in most if not ALL Of
the nations suburbs.
Not only do the expanding Negro population and the
growing receptvty of an increasing number of white home
decree that it is time to tackle the problem
The promised Presidential order outlawng dscrmna
ton in the sale of federay assisted housingexpeced
very soo-makes it impossible to postpone any longer
the launching of community efforts aimed at finding sol
tons And of course there the courts whose tendency
to rule against any form of racial discrimination should by
now be well known.
ing the move-because of these factorshas done well
emphasize from the outset that the problems not in
Surmountabe and not momentous might believe
1t fact that relatively few Negroes-as rule only
urban housing And OF those majority work downtown
and will probably prefer to live closer to their work The
scope of the problem generally limited to the small
Der of middle high income Negroes who work in the
suburbs Certainly there will be wholesale invasion And
significantly several Negro families have already moved
into previously awhte of the county with public
outcr nor for that matter has the general public
been aware that it was happening
Gradual transition has been achieved in other areas
and certain it be here with minimum Of
community disruption The groups approach is hard
headed realistic one. Not only is it immoral to create
Negro ghetos they say 1t is also bad business And with
the whole housing and home finance industry bound by
federal law in the future end discriminatory prac

ease

An Open Letter

Dear Margaret:
We were real happy to hear about your
marks 1t is reassuring to know that a
graduate from Mungummery County Public
School can pass examinations at Washington
College.
1 note your &C" in World History and I
know you were as surprised as l. as both of
us know that you had not read the books
upon which you were examined. If you can
get "C' on material you have not read, just
think what you would get if you studied
OF course, this not reading the assign.
ments can take student just so far; usually
about the end of the first semester is the
longest distance student can expect to get
from such program After all, there is not
much time set aside in adult life for acquir-
ing book learning. From the looks of things,
Mungummery County may not require book
learning much longer. I heard person say
several days ago that he wasn't going to send
his child to public school where all they
taught was frills, and that he was going to
learn his child how to read and write himself
So while you are in college away from
Mungummery County you get all the book
learning in you can, because book learning is
going out of style back here What they
are not going to legislate out will be censored
The easiest kind of learning is from
books, and they don't put you in jail for
busting an examination in books; but they
sure can put person out of the game for
busting some of the rules of life: such as a
failure to distinguish what belongs to thee
and what belongs to NEE. Also, by some
mysterious process, studying over books builds
up character. So you put in some time build
ing up your character One of the remark
able things about college is the way it builds
up character. Now you take an Indian fakir
who lies on bed of nails He is trying to
build up character, but all he gets is sore

New CRY Nome

Many residents are unhappy
with the name Rockville" for
our vigorous and growing city,
not because of snobbishness,
but because it is no longer a
suitable name for so dynamic a

our unlimited future and for
commemoration of our distin.
guished past.
Suggested as new names are

name change is needed, please
write the Mayor and Council,
which have twice rejected the
idea of a change.

From This Angle
Citizen-Censors

Many citizens of Montgomery County
may not be aware that censorship already
exists in some of the county stores. A citizen
may walk into any one of large chain of
drug stores and by Directing to magazine
or book, cause it to be removed from the
stand
Whatever the reason given for this censor.
ship, / believe that like all censorship, it is
in conflict with our heritage. Those who
impose the censorship do so no doubt, from
the best of motives The usual reason given
is to protect our young people from the i'm.
morality present in photograph in a draw.
ing or in certain combinations of words.
These censors are really imposing their
standards of morality on others.
Most Of these citizen-censOrs are probably
quite aware that legal procedures exist
by which they may have a publication de.
clared obscene. Their problem is that 1t is
unlikely that our courts would agree with
them on many publications to which they
object, so the only way for them to impose
their standards on Others is to do 1t In such a
way that they cannot be challenged. In q
court Of law both sides of the case would be
clearly presented.
The suppression of book may mean the
execution of an idea. In our nation, ideas, like
human lives, deserve full protection by the
law and by our courts.
However well meaning and enlightened
some Of these citizencensors may be, it is
true that such activities also attract the most
narrowminded and bigoted. In Dictionary
OF Contemporary American Usage" CRandom
Housed by Bergen and Cornelia Evans, under
the heading of Rooster; cock" is found the
following: "Prudery moves on prurience as
a snail in its own slime and leaves the trail
of slime over all that it touches The gallant
cock and the patient ass are forever banished
from our speech and We have only the nursery
equivalents of rooster and donkey" Pre-
sumably some of our citzen-censors would
reduce all newsstand material to the level fit
to be read in the nursery
The problem in allowing any self-appoint

The Public Forum

Question 6 was defeated by a

The almost two to one defeat

a mandate to the State Legis-
lature when it convenes in Jan.

able plan for redistricting the

been cleared for a fair bill,
your continued interest and
support will be a further con-

Dislikes Rails

Just what does the Natiopal
Capital Transportation Agency
think it's doing?
BY proposing a multi-million
dollar rail and subway system
and, at the same time, practi-
cally wiping freeways off the
Washington metropolitan area
map, it is imposing a form OF
coercion on the motorist such
as we have never seen. The
META claims that the rail sys-
tenn will pay for itself. This re-
mains to be proved.
Beyond that, there is a prin-
ciple at issue. BY eliminating
key segments of a sound free
way program, the Meta is, in
effect, forcing the motorist into
committing via the rail line.
The Meta has no regard, APP
parently, for the personal de-
sires or convenience of our citi-
zens, or how it proposes to
spend our money on this ex-
travagant folly.
think the automobile own
ers of this region should rebel.
We want freedom of movement
and we will not be forced into
riding a subway system which
we don't want in the first place.
