Everyone drought the backbone
of the heat wave was broken last
Friday, when delightfully."- cool breez-
es began to blow and the tempera-
cure got back to some where near
normal, after a long siege of swell
tering weather.
On Monday, however, the cool
wave was chased entirely out of
sight, and the day was the warnest
August Is in 38 years.
Official temperature in Philadel-
phia was given as 80 degrees, but
in this neck of the woods thermom-
eters ranged all the way from So
to 1O6 degrees. This latter tempera-
ture was recorded in the afternoon
by a thermometer hanging in the
shade on the store porch of Curtis
e. Irwin.
While the thermometers were
somewhat at odds, everyone
thoroughly agreed it was hot!

The Board then spent some time
i'm discussing the Annual Report for
1937-193S at which time the Super

in costs in the various schools. This
report very plainly showed that the
larger school costs much less per
capita than the small ones. This re-
port was received with interest by
the Board.
A delegation of patrons from the
Fourth District, with Mr.. Plumstead
and Mrs. Osborne Mackie as spokes-
men, came before the Board in the
interest of new consolidated
school at the present site OF the
Kenmore High School. 1t was the
opinion of this delegation that If all
pupils in the Fourth District were
required to attend such school, 1t
could be maintained very much the
same as the other smaller CONSOLE
dated schools in the county. the
Board of Education suggested that
some consolidation be done in the
elementary schools of that District,
due to the fact that several of the
buildings are unsafe for school pur-
poses, and that the high school pu-
pills be transported to Elkton. To
this the delegation did not agree.
After some discussion it was decided
to let the matter rest for the present
and to investigate the whole situa-
ton more carefully for future con-
sideration.

FREY CHARGES

Says CLIO. Means to End;
Doubts Lewis Knows
What's Going on
SAYS COMMUNISTS
ACTIVELY AT WORK

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. (UP)
John P. Frey, president of the
American Federation of Labor's
metal trades department, charged
last night that the Communist
party is plotting to seize the Uni
ted States government through It's
alleged connections with the John
l.. Lewis Committee for Industrial
Organization.
Frey, outspoken Go foe, based
his allegations on a QUESTIONABLE
which he claimed is being distrib-
uted to Communist function
aries in an effort to learn their
connections. if any, with various
government departments, and their
labor affiliations. He charged that
the information is to be used by
the central committee Of the Com
muniSt party, in connection with
it's participation in CIO indus
trial and political activities" to
seize control of the government.
Frey produced an alleged fac
similc of the QUESTIONABLE which
he said was being distributed by
the central committee to party
members who hold official posi-
tions nationally and in the several
districts in which the party organ
ization is divided"
"The QUESTIONABLE covers six
main subjects" Frey said, "the
Communist functionaries social
position and origin; intellectual
development and education; poll
teal life; participation in trades
unions and other organizations
repressions and prosecutions; and
supplementary information. Some
of it is so detailed as to cover
parents, brothers, sisters, wives,
children, uncles, aunts and cous-
ms, and whether any of these
have been employed by the gov
eminent in any capacity.
"The QUESTIONABLE in itself IS
internal evidence of some of the
purposes of the Communist party
in the United States, and that
much of the information which
the QUESTIONABLE will give to the
central committee will be used
in connection with the CommI-
mist party's participation in GIG
industrial and political activities.
He charged that the Communist
party already has taken a very
active part in developing the po-
litical angles of the CO: lhere

constantly discussed in the party
