Silent Night

Silent Night ...
The streetlamps make
rhineStones earth and the
bare trees wear ermine on
their arms. Rubber boots
crunch and squeak in the
drifts, and somewhere, there
is the sound of sleigh bells
and the soft thud of hoofs.
The night sky is deeper
than indigo. In it, a billion
stars watch. 1t is as though
someone had stretched a huge
curtain between heaven and
earth, and the light peeked
through the moth holes. The
snow fashions a drunken
sailors hat on one side of a
roof. In the pre-dawn air,
there is the smell of wood
smoke promising an early
breakfast of sausage and
eggs.
Holy Night
JSut before dawn, the world
stands still. There is a mo-
ment in time which hangs
quietly between tick and took.
1t is at this interval that the
infant Jesus was born. In his
mothers arms, the tiny legs
moved up and down and the
mouth contorted in the first
cry. She held him previously,
because, as her suffering
ended, his began.
Dawn is special on Christ

fan Of pale blue and yellow
and pink, with a large blue
star standing in the middle. It
flicks color onto fleecy clouds
and paints pink on fields of
snow. The ruddy rising sun
sees itself in a million win
dows. At once, children every
where tumble out of bed
unbidden, braving the chill of
the house to be first to see
what is under the tree.

A Communication

windowless classrooms, there is
daylight for some other major
spaces, and if later found desir-
able, daylight can be admitted
to classrooms by modification
in exterior walls.
The approval for these high
schools was given after much
propaganda by outside interests
that would profit from the in
stallation of the air-conditioning
equipment and the control de.
vices thereon. There was at the
time considerable concern ex-
pressed relating to the physical
and psychic effects on students
and teachers and using them in
effect as guinea-pigs for the
purpose. In face of nationwide
propaganda for windowless
schools by interested parties,
adoptions thereof by localities
have been few and hardly by
any having climate comparable
to that of our county.
The claim that with window.
less schools, the cost of air-con-
ditioning installation and opera
ton is balanced by the lower
heating cost, has little basis as
a general policy for this county.
According to Board of Educa-
ton Resolution 684-60 page sol
of the 1963-64 capital budget
the policy is to provide air con-
ditioning in secondary schools
mainly to serve the needs of
summer programs for students
and professional personnel.
This would include relatively
few of the total number of
schools, students and personnel.
Also for our climate with the
main demand for heating and
sporadic and less demand for
cooling, the balance in cost as
claimed may not obtain. In this
respect we are not in a class
with the warmer and more arid
parts of the county where the
main demand is for air condi-
tioning.
AS having a bearing on ex-
clusion of daylight from class
rooms, the case can be cited of
one of the leading electric COM
panies of the country construct
ing a building with windowless
offices provided with electric
lighting designed to give the
equivalent of daylight. 1t was
found however that the window.
less feature was Objectionable
to the extent of causing undue
turnover of personnel, in defer.
ence to which windows were
installed in the outside walls of
some of the offices.

AS Montgomery County's ur-
ban area gets bigger and bigger,
the shortcuts created by county
officials some years ago for the
benefit of school pupils get
shorter and shorter.
In fact one of the few re-
naming pathways was wiped
out entirely by the County
Council recently at the request
of four taxpayers, who held that
modern civilization has elirninat-
ed the need for a walkway es-
tablished alongside their homes
for use by pupils at the nearby
Connecticut Avenue Park Ele-
mentary School. 1t extended
from Juliet Street to Isbell
Street.
The path was created about
10 years ago, Attorney Calvin
R. Sanders told the council,
when the developer of Connec-
ticut Avenue Park dedicated a
12-foot strip to the county to
provide a short route for pupils
living within walking distance
of the school. Since then, he
said, it has been taken over as a
playground that sometimes
looks like Coney Island"

ated a sidewalk route that can
be used by pupils without add
ing greatly to the walking dis.
lance.
In support of the attorney,
Edward F. Seymour, of 1927 Is
bell ST., said he had specifically
measured the two routes. In
contrast to the pathway, which
he found to be sos feet in length,
he reported, the roundabout
sidewalk would require a walk
of 80 feet.
Sanders called on Mrs. Sey-
mour to tell of some of the dis
advantages of the path. When
it is used as a playground "the
noise is disturbing" she said,
and the children frequently
leave the area Uttered with
trash and garbage.
The owners of adjacent homes
moved the grass on the path
way and tried to keep it clean
for some years, Mrs. Seymour
noted, but in recent years it has
become impossible to cope with.

Reminded of
Fire Hazards

Ambitious spring house-clean-
ers were reminded by the Silver
Spring Volunteer Fire Dept. this
week that accumulated fire haz-
ards are one of the major OBJ
stacles that should be removed
during their programs.
Inaugurating its annual home
fire safety campaign, which will
continue until all homes in the
Silver Spring area have been
visited, the department noted
that the rooftop-to-basement
cleaning program provides an
opportunity to detect hazards
that often go unnoticed. 1t listed
a variety of conditions that
could become dangerous if over
looked.
Under general areas" the
department warned against ac-
emulation of combustibles of
any type during the cleaning
program, particularly in any
sections where it could bar an
avenue of escape in emergency.
1t also suggested elimination of
electrical rigs" where extern
sion cords have been used as
permanent wiring or single
plugs have been put to multiple
use through homemade adap-
tiers.
Basement conditions, the de-
partment said, should be care
fully checked for furnace and
smokepipe conditions that might
have accumulated during the
winter. Lawnmowers or other
gasoline powered instruments
should not be stored in the base
ment, and all flammable liquid
should be kept outside, even
when stored in approved safety
containers.
In workshops, wood dust from
sanding machines should never
be allowed to accumulate In
volume, and proper ventilation
should always be assured when
working with paints, CLUES and
other inflammables.

Ave-, were charged with rob-
berry and assault in indictments
handed down by the county
grand jury recently in a case
involving an 11-year-old boy as
the victim. Altogether, II indict-
ments were returned by the
jury, which is continuing its
probe of other criminal charges.
Detective Pfc. Norman Bal

the little boy and two Of his
friends provided vague informa-

The victim of the attack, Bal

brick hurled by one of the older
boys after they had demanded
money from the trio and re-
ceived the Is cents from the one
who filed the complaint. The
charges were filed against the
two defendants, according to
the detective, because both have

While estimated figures on
the city's total expected pur-
chases of land in the Urban Re-
newal area, as well as expected
resale receipts, have been as
sembled at City Hall, officials
are loathe to release them at this
time. 1t was pointed out that re-

both purchase and resale of
land prices.

The Sentinel learned this
week that first appraisals on
land to be purchased by the
City were completed about two
weeks ago. The appraisal figure
of the area is not available; also
because of the impact it may
have on the paying price. 1t is
understood, however, that re-
cent increased tax assessments
levied were not taken into con.
sideraton in making the ap.
praisals. The figure of the first
appraisal was used In the loan

A second appraisal required
by the Federal Government for
the area will be completed by
midsummer. 1t is expected that
increased assessments will be
taken into account at this time.
