House Tour Huge Success
The Potomac Country House
Tour, sponsored by the Women
of St. Francis Church, brought
a crowd of 2700 to tire country
roads of Potomac on April 30
and May 1. Blessed with per
fect weather on Sunday, a
crowd of over 1500 swarmed
through the seven houses on
tour, and the ladies served over
800 lunches in the country kitch
en at the church. They ran out i
Of food by 2 p.m. and had used
up all of the supplies planned
tor the Monday menu too. (This'
was replenished by noon the
following day!'
At one point on Monday after- j
noon the policemen assigned to;
the Potomac crossroads area
was heard to say. “Where in
the world do all these women
come from." but had he been
on duty Sunday the same ques
tion could have applied to the
unusual number of gentlemen
that were touring.
Although the final tally has
not been reached it was a tre
mendous success and if the traf
fic was at all indicative, the
financial total will surpass that
of former years.
Holton Arms on the Mote
Holton Arms School, well
known girls' preparatory school
now located in Washington.
D. C., will move into the Chris
topher Granger estate on River
rd. as a result of a land swap
between the Grangers and the
school.
The school board had previ-i
ously purchased a tract of land
opposite the Potomac Elemen
tary School. Later they found
that the Grangers' estate was
more desirable. The school <
property totaled 60 acres and
the Granger property has 80
acres, plus a lovely home. It
also is four miles closer to
town, has public transportation
to the entrance, is beautifully
landscaped and most important
has water and sewerage readi
ly available. The Grangers do
nated 44 of their acres to the
school in the transaction.

wide by-election the the Pathet
Lao iCommunist - oriented
group i and their allies won 13
out of 21 seats. In the 1960 j
election, Time magazine re- •
ports that the anti-Communist
group headed by General
Phoumd Nosavan won blatant
ly rigged elections. It seems
possible that the Laotian don’t
care who governs, or perhaps
the majority even prefer Com
munism.
I
Six years and $3lO million
dollars have not enabled us to
build up this nation into an
effective fighter against Com
munism. Mr. Scull now says
that Laos is slipping behind
the Bamboo Curtain and im
plies that we had better do
something, presumably some
thing other than negotiate.
Many observers believe that
Laos is the key to Southwest
Asia. If so. it is important
that we hold it. but whether
this consideration overrides all
others must be decided by
President Kennedy. The Presi
dent's concern is not only with
Laos and Cuba, but also with
world wide commitments, obli
gations and responsibilities.
He must decide what course to
take after considering the
world wide picture and study
ing information and advice
from many sources. Neither
Mr. Scull nor I have access to
that Information and advice
or the responsibility for world
wide readiness to fight Com-'
munism.
l-os is adjacent to Commu
nist territory into which in a
very short time could pour
tens of thousands of Red
Chinese. We had such a pain
ful experience in Korea. How .
much of our military force
can we afford to commit in
Laos? Is Laos worth the
risk? I don’t know, nor. I be
lieve, does Mr. Scull. No!
doubt our Government is try
ing to arrive at thes answers’
now. Let neither Mr. Scull or ;
anyone else try to direct thei
placement of military forces
in one or two small areas'
without the best available
information on the entire cam
paign.
The primary concern of
President Kennedy, as was
true of President Eisenhower,
is not whether Laos becomes
Communist or not, but the
security of the United States
If it is necessary to let Laos
slip behind the Bamboo Cur
tain at this time, nothing we
‘•an say will changi matters. |
If it is not necessary, Presi
I dent of the school, said that
I tentative plans call for the
opening to be in the Fall of '63,
but immediate plans are under
way to enjoy the newly ac
quired property on a less for
mal basis. The Junior-Senior
class picnic is scheduled to be
there and. weather permitting,
they hope to hold the 1961 grad
uation exercises in the country.
Presently the school has a
million dollar development fund
underway. The Honorable
Charles Dewey is chairman of
the group and Mr. F. Moran
McConihe is vice chairman. Mr.!
Garvin Tankersley and Mr. Stu
art Tipton are also on the com
mittee and on the Board of
Trustees. Mr. Tipton is also
chairman of the relocation com
mittee.
Approximately one-third of
the goal has been reached. Miss
Brown advised that the entire
physical plant will cost over $2
million before completed. The
plans call for a gymnasium, ed
ucational buildings, dormitories,
and to expand and improve the
art, music and athletic depart
ments. There are no plans to
expand the student enrollment.
The property became avail- j
able because of the Grangers’
desire to keep it intact. Archi
tectural plans formally de
signed for the original acquired
property’ will be adjusted to
suit the new acreage.

To complete the successful va
