Potomac CCC Camp
Plans Dance Saturday Night

A Company Dance will be held at
the Potomac Camp Saturday evening,
May "a, beginning at 800 p. m. This
dance will be a combination of round,
square and polka dances and music
for the occasion will be furnished by
Bill White and his Camp Orchestra.
One similar to this was held Saturday
evening, May 10, inaugurating the
open house public demonstration of
camp activities, and it is felt that it
did much to popularize the camp with
local people. More than two hundred
attended.
By way of contrast, real big dance
will be staged by this company some
time next month.

Wheat Quota Vote
Is Slated May 81
Only Farmers Growing 200
Bushels or More Eligible to
Cast Ballot

The ballot which Americans have
long used to determine national
policies will be used by wheat farmers
on May 81 to decide an important
economic policy. On that day the farm
ers of Garrett county who are eligible
to vote will join with those of the rest
of the nation in deciding whether or
not to have marketing quotas.
The voting for Garrett county will
be at the office of John H. Carter,
county agent, and will be in charge of
the county AAA committee, Pete
Breuninger, Guy Stanton and Dorsey
Guard. The voting may be done any
time from 9 a. M, to p. m.
Any producer whose normal yield
per acre times their acres for harvest
exceeds 200 bushels, is eligible to vote.
Mr. Carter stated that probably rs in
the county are eligible to vote, the
other farmers in the county not raising
enough wheat to come under the pro-
visions of the wheat quotas as laid
down in the referendum law recently
passed by Congress.
The county results of voting will be
sent to the state AAA office, National
results will then be compiled by the
Department of Agriculture in Wash
ington. If two-thirds of the farmers
voting approve, the quota will be-
come effective throughout the nation,
which will limit the amount of wheat
a person may grow.
Mr.. Carter pointed out that any
farmer who was not sure of his eligi-
bility to vote should find out what his
normal yield is. If it exceeds 200
bushels he can vote.

Additional Teacher
For Fort BeIvoir
Pender Delegation Protests
Transfer of Students to
FIoris and Hemdon s's

FAIRFAX, Va, Sept. 1.-THE
Fairfax County School Board yes
terday approved employment of an
additional teacher from county funds
at Fort Belvoir School.
Request for the extra teacher was
made by officers from the pest,

ment provides the school building
and janitor service and at present
the teacher load is too heavy. The
county now pays two teachers and
the post provides three others.
A delegation from the Pender area
appeared before the School Board
and objected to transfer of num-
ber of children to Floris and Hern-
don schools, who previously at
tended Fairfax schools. The dele
CATION objected to the transporta-
ton of children from to miles
when the other schools are nearer.
At the beginning of the present
session the board shifted a number
of children to Floris and Herndon
to relieve overcrowding at Fairfax.
The board agreed that children liv-
ing in the Pender and Little River
Pike sections may come to Fairfax
schools when they desire.
The following teacher appoint
ments were approved:
Mrs. Catherine H. Smart. Dunn
Loring School; Miss Mary Hille Nc
Coy, Fairfax High School: James
M. Ramsey, Franklin-Sherman;
Mrs. Hope Adams, Dunn Loring;
Mrs. Lettie Weisbord, Fairfax High;

Pleasant colored school, and Miss
Mignon G. Bolden, Clifton colored
school.
Sale of Woodlawn colored school
to the United States Government
for $4,000 was approved by the
board. The school is located in the
area where the Federal Government
is acquiring additional land for the

Zoo Hopinq 1t Will Get Presidents Gift Gorilla
Believes Ape Would
Like Cage Better
Than White House
By w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr.

All Zoo Director William M. Mann
knows about the "Free French"
gorilla en- route here as gift for
President Roosevelt is what he reads
in the papers.
The local Zoo hasn't been offered
the gorilla as yet, nor has DR.. Mann
so much as limited for him. However,
there are certain facts which should
be pointed out.
The Zoo has .needed a gorilla for
years, especially a large and fero-
cious specimen. In fact, the ape
cages we're designed with just such
a tenant in mind. Too, a gorilla
would complete. Washington's ape
collection. .-
He Knows Apes Food Likes.
Further, the gorilla might be
more comfortable at the Zoo than
the White House. There are matters
of diet to consider, and DR.. Mann has
been studying food requirements of
great apes for years.
In addition. there is sound prece-
dent for sending the gorilla to the
Zoo. President Roosevelt himself
followed 1t when he received two
African wildcats several years ago.
Presidents before him have done
likewise when friends sent them
lions, etc.
While DR.. Mann has never met
this particular gorilla, he got to
know his travelling companions while
in West Africa collecting animals
last year. Philip Carroll the Ameri-
can who captured the gorilla in
French West Africa, and is now en-
route with him to the United States,
was collecting in Sierra Leone when
Dr. Mann's expedition arrived.
Gorillas Catch Diseases Easily.
Carroll had So chimpanzees and
hundreds of monkeys when I met
him in Africa" DR.. Mann said. He
Is a professional collector and a
wonderful man with animals. The
gorilla on the way here is in good
hands"
DR.. Mann has suffered too many
disappointments with animals in
transit to speculate on the possi-
