But that wasn't all! The new
ly purchased white tablet was
incorrect. 1t was supposed to
be art-sized paper, but not
rough! Upon investigation we
found out that the local art
supply store didn't stock this
particular kind of tablet, but
it could be put on order. Cost
unknown.
Also, the newly purchased
gym suit was to be enscribed
with the full name of our off
spring across the back and
front. In fact, every piece of
gym equipment was to be
carefully and fully marked.
Not unreasonable, really and
at this point we began to think
we knew a way to beat a trip
to the store and save a few
pennies. Iron-on tape was care
fully cut into the appropriate
letters and ironed on the gar
ment, which promptly came
off. So another purchase had
to be made of white embroi-
derry thread. We did use the
BLACK Magic Marker, not the
RED, for the other identified
tons on the gym equipment.
But don't tell the other teacher
we infringed on her special
class purchasing list by using
it! This latest list only totalled
S2.68, not to mention three
hours of woman-labor spent in
embroidering. At this point, we
considered we got off lucky.
BY now the fifth day arrived
and our daughter was almost
unable to take the school bus
as her purchases almost pre-
vented her getting through the
door. But with fixed smiles and
CLASSY stares, she was again
sent cheerfully on her way
with fervent prayers that no
more MUST lists would be
brought home.
We have now arrived at the
end of the first week in the
new school year poorer by
$28.09. Figures still dance be-
fore our eyes. There are more
than 400 students in our daugh-
ter's seventh grade, and if each
child paid out the same
amount, why that's only SILL
236 so far!
The telephone book lists II
Junior High Schools in this
county. If our experience was
duplicated in this junior high
and the 16 others, and the at
tendance in all the seventh
grades was $500, then the cost
to these, $500 parents was
S191, OH. But merchants take
heart-the boon will probably
last for 35 more school weeks!
We still face our taxes to
pay in order to live in this
desirable county that rates one
of the finest school systems
in the country. Speaking to
several members hired by this
Board of Education, we have
learned now that our school
taxes are high so the county
may provide everything need
ed in our public schools for
our children" A worthy
theory!
Granted, some purchases are
necessary, but it is appalling
to us that individual classes
and teachers, school regula-
lions and whims, are allowed
to supersede economy. Sure,
let's support education but not
ridiculous educational devices
of which not ONE item has
furthered a maturing mind.
Let's make our county have
this theory of theirs put into
practice.
AS I said, the price of water

Race 'Porty' Cleared

A Prince Georges County
resident was acquitted yester-
day on a charge he operated
an unlicensed public entertain
ment July %, for 150-odd per-
sons watching car races at the
Marlboro Raceway from his
property near the track.
According to testimony in
County Circuit Court at Upper
Marlboro, spectators entering
Elmer B. Curtis grounds next
to the track were issued park
ling tickets and provided luXur-
les such as rest rooms and
cups of ice water.
Mr.. Curtis, 40, has a graded
hillside that overlooks a hairpin
turn on the track, Prince
Georges authorities said.
Dollar to Enter
Deputy Sheriff Mizell Mitch
ell testified he and two COM
panions were charged one dol
lar apiece to enter the Curtis
lot, where they found $50 to
100 persons chomping on pic

race cars on the track $50 feet

on grounds ranging from the
undesirability of more truck
traffic to the possibility of
odors from the operation.
Stanford Paris and E. Wal
Ter Dudley, attorneys for the
company seeking a special use
permit for the tanks, argued
that the asphalt would be en-
closed in tanks or pipes, would
emit no fumes or odors and
would not cause a safety haz-
ard.
Overflow Courtroom
The farm, proposed by
Steuart Petroleum Co., Inc, OF
Washington, would have per-
mitted the storage of 10000
barrels of asphalt products or

tomac.
Old Town residents, who hac
vigorously opposed the project
since it was announced last
April, overlooked a city h al
courtroom to voice their pro.
tests.
Mr.. Dudley argued that the
Old Town residents oppose moi
merely an asphalt tank but
anything except "a low-leve

Raceway to Act
Following the decision, spokes-
men for the raceway said they
would consider what steps they
could take next against Mr..
Curtis in a long standing dis
pute over his parking operation.
One step to be considered,
said a representative, would be
blocking the view from the
Curtis hillside this coming
