Students
To Protest
Budget Cuts

A students group will lead
a "cavalcade" to the School
Board m e e tin G Tuesday
night to protest recent budg-
ct cuts affecting foreign
languages in elementary
schools, driver training and
teacher workshops.
The group will also plead for
approval of the proposed Rock

put in jeopardy by the school

majority.
Chairman of the new group,
students for Education" is
Siri Sopher, 1927 Evelyn Drive,
Rockville, a junior at Walter
Johnson High School.
1t consists--so far-Of about
20 active students from five jun.
Tor and senior high schools. But
Siri says she expects every high
school In the county to be rep
resented by this weekend.
Tuesdays "cavalcade," the
student leader said, will include
a hearse and a wrecked 1862
convertible hauled by a tow
truck to demonstrate what can
happen when people are poor
drivers.
A petition now being cir
culated by the group states:
I'VE, the students of Montgom-
cry County secondary schools,
do hereby petition the Montgom-
cry County School Board to re-
verse their policy Of economy at
the expense of the education of
the youth of Montgomery
County"
Their reasons for opposing
cuts in driver training, elinina-
ton of the foreign language
program In elementary schools
and insufficient funds for teach
er workshops-as well as sup
porting the new Montgomery
Junior College-are spelled out
in detail in the petition.
It concludes: I'm short, we
students feel that the small
amount Of money each taxpayer
will save does not warrant the
sacrifice of our education. II
this situation prevails, Mont.
gomery County will no longer
be progressive but will remain
static or even retrogress.

the Montgomery County School
Board to reverse your policy"

Delegation chairman James
r. Miller Jr. said the bill con-
templates inclusion of the An
derson tract and other land as
far as Shady Grove Road into
the WSSC District. 1t is being
introduced at the request of
developer Milton Polinger.
The delegation, Miller said,
has set Feb. u at 7 pm. as a
tentative hearing date on the
measure in Annapolis.
Word Of the POlinger move
has been received with some
concern by Rockville city Off.
Gals and business interests.
With an extensive urban renew
al program for the midtown
area being readied for approval
by the Federal government
early this spring, city officials
see possible large commercial
coming which the developer may
be able to obtain outside city
limits as a definite threat to
their plans for rehabilitation of
the old town.
Local businessmen, already
pressed by large new CONNER
cial development east of the city
on Rockville Pike, say Rock
vile business firms will be
caught in a squeeze between
this and any additional large
scale commercial development
on Rt. 355 between Rockville
and Gaithersburg.
Polinger and Rockville Off
Gals first locked horns early
last year, when Polinger asked
for annexation by the city of
the 400-acre Anderson tract. At
the same time, he requested
coming which contemplated con-
struction of 1877 apartment
units; 395 single family dwell
ings, and 81 acres of CONNER
cial and light industrial coming.
In April last year, the Mayor
and Council approved annexa-
ton of the tract, but cut back
Polinger's coming request to $50
single family dwellings and $50
apartment units. II omitted
commercial and light industrial.

Daylight, Yes;
But SaUing, No!

The Montgomery County
Council approved a resolution
Tuesday putting the county
on Daylight Saving Time
beginning April 20 - again
without the support of veteran
Councilman Grover Walker,
who has been a constant OPP
pOnent of the time change in
past years.
When the resolution was
proposed by County Manager
Mason Butcher, all eyes turn
ed toward Walker a onetime
dairy farmer, and President
John A. Floyd suggested that
someone" might want to dis
cuss the measure. "If you
took out the saving and just
left daylight, I'd go along"
said Walker. Technically, he
did not oppose the resolution,
however, merely passing"
when the vote came his way.

New School
Group Forms
In County

"A group CdlIlIlS ltSell LIle
Committee for the Public
Schools" has been formed
for "the improvement of
public education in Mont
gomery County"
The group contends that the
county school system "can be
and should be a model for the
nation and for the world and
over the last decade and more
it has moved toward becoming
such a model"
Members of the organizing
committee include: Raoul ALI
stetter, Mrs. G. Beale Bloomer,
PIP. Claxton, Jr., Robert Hack
er Pat M. Holt, Mrs. Herbert S.
Hyatt, Thomas S. Israel, Mich
ael S. March, Edmund H.
Robertson, Irving Schlossen-
berg, Walter G. Schweitzer, Jr.,
Ralph Showalter, Harry L.
Simms, William F. Smith, and
Bruno o. Weinschel.
In a statement accompanying
its announcement, the group de-
clared:
Our purpose is to support
public school system Of Mont
gomery County. We propose to
do so individually and collec-
lively by fact finding, by the
dissemination of information
and by all appropriate action.
1--WE will do this not just be-
cause of our own immediate
personal interests as parents
and residents of this county.
We are also motivated by our
knowledge that the strength of
our public school system as
part of the public school system
of the nation is fundamental to
the strength and progress of
our country"
The statement declared our
school system "has steadily inn
proved in quality while meet
ing the demands of rapidly in.
creasing enrollments. We have
provided school space for our
children. Teacher salary scales
have been made comparatively
attractive. Class sizes have been
reduced-though far too many
are still too large.
Our students at all levels
stand high in national tests.
Graduates of our high schools
are readily admitted to selective
colleges. People move to our
county because they have heard
of the reputation of our schools
and know that their children
will receive a superior education
in public schools which qualify
them for the college of their
choice.
These people become an as
set to our county. They buy
homes, they patronize the
stores, make deposits in and
get mortgages from the banks.
These talented and highly
skilled people are in demand
everywhere. They are the sort
of people who are interested
in a first class public school
education for their children.
They will go where they can
get 1t. They will come here with
their talent and their capital
only II they have confidence
that this basic requirement will
be met--and will continue to be
met.
I'VE should keep under con.
slant and close observation the
statements and actions of mem
bers Of the school board, the
county council and our delega-
ton at Annapolis debating to
our school system. We should
recommend those actions which
contribute to strengthening 1t
and oppose those which would
injure it. We should take all
our actions without political
partisanship.
I'VE should consider It within
our responsibility to put for
ward and to support candidates
in nonpartisan elections. We
should defer action on this un.
til the need for 1t is apparent"
