Worthwhile Project

Montgomery County's Historical Society is about to
take worthwhile project saving of Woodlands"
fine old home representative of the country just after the
Revolutionary War.
At regular monthly meeting last week, the Society
president appointed special committee to look into the
possibility of saving the home It is scheduled to be RACED
to clear part of the Seneca Watershed Project
A resolution calling for the preservation of wood
lands" notes that the home and outbudng "s very old
and representative of the history of county and state"
This is indeed for the original part of the home dates
back to the late 1700s Another section was added about
1910 or 1872.
Sen. Gilbert Guide and Delegate Thomas M. Anderson
Jr presented the resolution to the society and got an
nous approval Sen Guide feels the older part be
stored and made useful recreation building or as
residence for parkland caretaker.
But if no functional value can be found in the
old home it still should be saved Too many fine examples
of our history and heritage falling to questionable
thing called progress"

peace on earth and good will among
men," We are all familiar with this descrip-
ton of an ideal condition which probably
never existed but remains a goal to strive
for. 1t is repeated on radio and televison
programs, it is printed in Christmas cards,
magazines, and newspapers, and it is sung
many times during the Christmas season. II
the saying, reading, and singing of this state
ment could bring about the condition describ-
ed, it would have happened long ago.
The best hope of establishing the condi-
ton of peace and good will would seem to
lie in a golden thread of philosophy that is
woven into all of the great religions of the
world. In his preface to The Worlds Great
Scriptures MACMILLAN 1946), Lewis Browne
gives the golden rule of eight great religions:
BRATIMANISM: 'This is the sum of
duty: Do naught unto others which would
cause you pain if done to you" Mahabharats,
s. 1917
BUDDHISM: "TIurt not others in ways
that you yourself would find hurtful" Udana-
Varga ), 10
CONFUCIANISM: as there one maxim
which ought to be acted upon throughout
ones whole life? Surely it is the maxim of
loving kindness: Do not unto others what you
would not have them do unto you" Analects
Is, %
TAOISM: Regard your neighbours gain
as your own GAIN and your neighbours loss
as your own loss" Tai Shang Kan Wing
P'ien.
ZOROASTRIANISM: "That nature alone
is good which refrains from doing unto an
Their whatever is not good for itself" Da-
distan-i-dinilS, "a, 5
JUDAISM: what is hateful to you, do
not to your fellowman. That is the entire
Law: all the rest is commentary" Talmud,
Sllabbat 31a
CHRISTIANITY: "All things whatsoever
we would that men should do to you, do we
even so to them: for this is the Law and the
Prophets" Matthew z, II
ISLAM: mo one of you is believer
until he desires for his brother that which
he desires for himself" Sunnah.
Religions have been one of the great
divisive forces of history. Considering the
basic principles like the golden rule and the

From This Angle
Good Will Among Men
by Les KimbIe

worship of one Supreme Being which most
great religions teach, this is not always easy
to understand. There are other teachings
held in common among many religions
For instance, many of the original teachings
of the great Persian prophet ZOrOaster Of
the seventh century BIC. have been adopted
and are still taught by Judaism, Islam and
Christianity.
In 'The Faiths Men Live BY" prentice
Hall, Inc. 1854, Charles Francis Potter gives
a remarkable example of the similarity be-
tween Jesus and Zoroaster
'Tf Christian were asked on quiz pro-
gram what great world religious leader
% was prophesied centuries before birth
as 1.-THE Saviour"
(2) was born of virgin.
(3) was saved in infancy from a jealous
ruler,
(4) astonished learned men by his youth
full wisdom
(5) began to preach when thirty years
old,
90 cast out demons,
~ cured a blind man,
(9) performed many other miracles and
(1O) preached a Supreme God of truth
and goodness, he would probably answer,
Jesus the Christ; for so the Bible teaches
Yet if that same ten-fOld question were
asked, word for word for Parsee, he would
answer, just as promptly: ZOroaster; for 50
the Zend-Avesta teaches"
A giant step which would do much to-
wards bringing peace on earth and good viii
among men would be for all religions to
recognize the similarities of their PHILOSOPHERS
and the need for all men, particularly in the
matter of others religious beliefs, to follow
the golden rule: "All things whatsoever We
would that men should do to you do We even
SO to them"
Every American should feel great pride
when he realizes that when our Constitution
and our Bill of Rights was adopted, clearly
establishing the attitude of our Government
towards religion, that is precisely the stand
our forefathers took When most peoples and
most nations follow this principle adopted
by our forefathers, we may have chance to
bring peace on earth and good will among
men.

Accommodations Low

A recent issue of the authori-
tative Congressional Quarterly
brings to the fore an interesting
aspect in the victorious cam
paign of Rogers c. B. Morton
on the Eastern Shore. Mr.. Nor.
ton, who was the only Republi-
can to unseat a Democratic Con.
gressional incumbent in tn S
state, campaigned as a "moder-
ate conservative" In addition to
calling for a reduction of non
essential federal expenditures
and similar planks, Congress-
man-elect Morton supported leg
islation to end racial discrimina-
ton in public accommodations.
He won by a margin of 32,277 to
29,423, carrying $3.50 of the
votes.
The Rogers Morton victory on
the Eastern Shore assuredly ex-
plodes the theory held by many
that support of public accom-

Planning Is For People

What we are really in revolt against, l
think, is the general tawdriness of the prod
uct. 1t has little enduring quality except
ugliness. The green space are being smoth-
cred by black top parking lots, punctuated
with monotony and ablaze with competition
of strident signs along the highways.
The only sure relief are the cases of parks
or limited access roads, built with federal
help. The occasional surprise relief is nicely
modulated development.
If we can let our mind dwell on the prob
lem without hysterical name-calling, we can
see that there are three distinct but closely
related questions:
What social legal and economic tech
niques are necessary for insuring the best
land use patterns?
How can the content within the specific
patterns be improved so that it ages grace
fully, instead of whitening into empty stores
inadequately buffered residential areas and all
the other manifestations of extravagant and
1nsensitive consumption of land?
How can we be educated to an under
standing of the challenges of better COM
munlty growth, so that there will be support
for whatever governmental or voluntary
measures may be necessary to make plan
ming meaningful?
Why has the suburban boom been so cam
nibal-like in the devournig of land? Perhaps
because we didn't accept the fact that, as
our population grew, we would have to change
our notion of the meaning of suburbia. Once
upon time suburbia meant a voluntary de-
parture from the city to live in a house with
backyard. An apartment house would be
blight on single family residential property

A double-edged reality has now hit us.
Suburbia Is no longer insulated from the
problems of the central city" Urban Re.
newal has spanked charges of NEGRO re-
movaP and 'tmonOlithic structures" We
know, deep inside of us, that the old notion
Of "suburbia is static and unreal Along

community is vital in its development
only If it really meets the needs of the total
social framework. Then it will have variety
and meaning. Coherent planning of future
communities will be possible, only if we re-
member that structures are for people to live

The Public Forum

modations legislation is political
suicide, especially in certain Sec
tons of our state. Marylanders,
when it comes right down to it,
do not forget our traditions
which earned us the label as the
Free State"
Those who have some reser-
vations about supporting a state
public accommodations law
might well look to Congress-
man-elect Morton's experience.
In addition, it might well be add
ed most Americans now reside
in states having public accom-
modations laws (28 states in all,

little evidence that the residents
of those states are limited in
their freedom of choice, restrict

ness or imposed upon against
their will. The voters see this
better than do the politicians.

Civil Defense

The resolution recently pass
ed by the County Council of
P-TA's has brought UP once
again the question of Civil De-
tense and Fallout and Blast
Shelters. Since we have no ac-
tual experience with nuclear
war, as yet, any CD program
must be based on a picture
constructed from such facts as
we do have.
Since most Of these facts
are unpleasant, we would
rather not think about them.
Still, there are many questions
which must be asked when any
CD program is proposed.
What are the assumptions
on which this plan is based?
Are they realistic or wishful
thinking? VIII the plan actual
ly do what it is claimed to
do? Does the plan cover the
whole scope of the projected
emergency or does it only deal
with isolated aspects such as
fallout or blast effects while
ignoring major problems such
as interruption of supply lines
for food and fuel, destruction
of factories which manufac-
ture necessities of life, collapse
of the structure of society un.
der severe attacks, etc? What
will be the effect of the pro-
posed program on the present
structure of society? What is
its complete financial burden?
What is its emotional burden
on children and adults? What
will be the effect on a demo-
cratic society of having the
degree of RECOMMENDATION neces-
sary for effective drills? In a
time when many are concern
ed with increasing concentra-
ton of power in the Federal
Government, what effect will
this paramilitary control have
on local independence?
While it is certainly true
that a CD program will save
some lives, we question wheth-
er the enormous effort in
volved, in a question which
is large enough to be effective,
will yield protection proper
tionate to the cost. The only
sure protection is peace. If we
devote our efforts at all levels
of government to a diligent
search for ways to make
peace" we have an excellent
chance of finding it.

More Patriotism

I wonder how many of you
parents with Sabotage chill
dren are aware that two very
important patriotic practices
the recitation of the Pledge of
Allegiance and the singing of
the "Star Spangled Banner" -
are either being neglected or
treated very lightly by our
educators.
Are you aware that the reci-
tation of the Pledge of Allegi-
ance Is not compulsory by
state or Montgomery County
law or policy, that the recita-
ton depends upon the indiv-
idual school? Why should this
practice be left up to the dis
erection of the principal? Isn't
patriotism in our young impor-
tant? Whose feeling are we
trying to protect this time?
The Communists?
Are you also aware that
according to Public School
Law, Article II, Section SO, the
"Star Spangled Banner" is sup
posed to be sung at least once
a week in all public schools,
private schools, preparatory
schools, ETC., that have morn.
ing, afternoon or evening exer.
cises or other gatherings?
Ask your children how many
times they have sung the "Star
Spangled Banner! You may
be amazed to know that they
don't even know it due to lack
of practice!
Are we parents asking toe
much of our school system to
instill in our young a sense OF
pride in their country and its
accomplishments? Is it not the
responsibility of the schools tc
transmit the history and tradi
tons of our country from gen
Grafton to generation?

 Revenue collected from the highway use tax totaled $46.8 million in 1861 and $37.7 mill lion in 1860. Increased enforce ment efforts are planned to get fuller compliance with this tax law from truckers and bus op- orators.
 The highway trust fund in 1861, counting proceeds from all of its revenue sources, re- celVed a total of $2.8 billion. The largest contributor to this fund were motor fuel taxes, which accounted for $2.3 bil- lion. Annual accumulations in the highway trust fund since 1t was created in 1857 total $1l billion.

MINE EMPLOYEES PICNIC AUG. 5

Employees of the Evan Jones Coal Company and their fam lilies enjoyed a picnic at Barry's Resort on Finger Lake Sunday, August 5, with about 150 per sons attending.
 Mrs. Evan Jones, widow of the founder of the mine, and her daughter, Mrs. Walter Tee land of Wasilla, were honor guests. Mrs. Jones brought with her a number of photographs taken during the early discov- cry days of the Matanuska coal fields, and much time was spent in reminiscing.
 Jones, a Welshman, came to the United States at the age of 16, and worked in the Ros- lyn, Washington, coal fields, where at one time the father of Andy Norris, Jr. (former underground foreman at the Jones mine) worked under Jones as fire boss.
 MT. and Mrs. Jones and their two daughters came to the Ma tanuska Valley in 1917, and or ganiZed the Evan Jones Coal Company in 1920. The mine has been in continuous production since that date.

TRY0UTS CONTINUE
 FOR GUILD PLAY

Casting for the next Valley Theatre Guild production, "The Curious Savage" by John Pat. rick, will continue on Tuesday August q with all those inter ested in acting, makeup, stag ing, and set design asked to meet in the Experiment Sta tion library at 7:30 pm.
 Guild members emphasized that all the roles in this heart warming serio-comedy are good ones. The cast includes parts for six women and five men. The action takes place in The CloiSters, private hospital for mental patients, where Mrs. Savage has been committed by money-hungry heirs. Besides the Mrs. Savage role, there are parts for two young women and three others of varying ages. The five male roles include two inmates, a sena- tor, a judge, and a doctor.
 It was pointed out that the play is not slapstick comedy, but provides plenty of chuckles with the premise that people on the inside of a mental institu- ton are sometimes saner than those on the outside.
 The Curious Savage was a broadway hit in 1851, with Lil- lian Gish playing Mrs. Savage.
 Rehearsals will not begin un- til after the fair, with ten tative production date set for sometime in November. Mar ziah Miller will direct.
