fbitgncqiCnu^iSntiit) 4A Channel The Zed Last week students of Northwood high school set out to sell 25,000 candy bars at 50 cents each to gain enough money to make a down payment on stands for a Northwood stadium. It is understandable and laudable that these stu dents would want a stadium of their own and have enough pride in their school to pay for it through their own efforts. Previously, the Northwood students have had to stand throughout their home football games. Most of their games were played at Blair stadium. However, what the County needs is a large multi ple-purpose stadium with lights, which might hold 20,000 to 30,000 persons. Such a stadium would be suitable for a Northwood-Blair football game, a po litical rally for a presidential candidate, a polo match, a religious rally, a professional tennis match or an exhibition by the Harlem Globetrotters. No matter how praiseworthy the efforts of the students and their supporters at Northwood. Bethesda- Chevy Chase, Walter Johnson, or Richard Montgom ery High Schools, important seasonal matches will overcrowd the dozens of "little stadiums" which have cropped up throughout the county. A big game like a County championship will draw from eight to twelve thousand faas and there is pres ently nowhere to seat them. These crowds will grow as the school system becomes larger. Duplications of the small one-purpose stadiums will continue until someone has the foresight to channel the zeal of en ergetic people like those at Northwood, toward a larg er project which would give rewards to a far greater number of people with a variety of interests.

Our State De partment recently branded Castro's Cuba as communist. Castro objected saying, that his is a socialist society. Khrushchev runs a country named the Soviet Socialist Republic. Norman Thomas, noted leader for many years of the American Socialist Party, an nounced last year that he was giving up. He said he felt that most of the objectives of his party had already been adopt ed by our Federal government. Younger leaders have picked up the torch and press on for more socialist action. (lose Kennedy confidant, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., has been quoted this year as saying. “A welfare state Is the best defense against communism.” He went on to say that he envisioned the welfare state “as one that would provide basic ele ments for its citizens, such as food, clothing, shelter, education and opportunity.” UPI Jan. 31) Communism, socialism and welfare statlsm may differ in some respects but they have a common objective: State ownership and control of the means of production together with control of the creative' and productive actions of the people. Alexis de Tocqueville pre dicted over a century ago what he felt might be the shape of things to conic In America in the following words: “The will of man is not shattered, bat softened, bent and guided; men are seldom forced by ft to act, but they are constantly re strained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but It prevents existence; it does not tyranize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each na tion is reduced to nothing bet ter than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shep herd.” For permission to reproduce the following letter I am in- j debted to Mr. Paul L. Pairot. of the Foundation For Eco nomic Education. “As a teacher in the public schools, I find that the Social ist-communist idea of taking “from each according to his ability,” and giving “to each according to his need” is now generally accepted without i question by most of our pupils. In an effort to explain the fallacy in this theory, I some-1 times try this approach with my pupils. “When one of the brighter or har d e r-working pupils makes a grade 95 on a sheet, I suggest that I take away 30 points and give them to a stu dent who has made only 35 points on his test. Thus each would contribute according to his ability and each would receive according to Ms need. After I have juggled the grades of all the other pupils In this fashion, the result is usually a “common owner ship” grade of between 75 and W the minimum needed for passing, or for survival. Then I speculate with the pupils as to the probable results If I actually used the socialistic theory for grading paper.* “First, the highly productive pupils and they are always a minority in school as well as in life would soon lose all incentive for producing. Why strive to make a high grade if part of it is token from you by “authority” and given to someone else? "Second, the less productive pupils —a majority in school as elsewhere would, for a time, be relieved of the neces sity to study or to produce. This socialist-communist sys tem would continue until the high producers had sunk or had been driven down to, the level of the low producers.' At that point, in order for any one to survive, the "authority” would have no alternative but to begin a system of compul sory labor and punishments SGOOD/year I prina \'x SERVICE STORE j ’ d ]J*\ ' } lc T"" flnp # r lit lie NATURALLY CLEAN 1 /7 j \natural gasJ NORGE Matchless as ( - oold,u j GAS pTTB"”j k* Start as low as •• © ) <=kt> IS9-95 ! jjjjjj” REMEMBER —YOU \ —j THESE ADVANTAGES WHEN YOU COOK WITH GAS! • Fast, clean, cool, thrifty, automatic and dependable gas does more, | | I • Matchless lighting of top-burners, oven and broiler-automatically!
