To Show Air
Raid Pictures

The Jacob Tome Institute, Port
Deposit, is planning a visual DEM
onstration of air raid safety precau-
tions and techniques through the
use of motion picture films produced
in England under actual war time
conditions. The pictures will be
shown March 8, at 1880 o'clock, in
Washington Hall.
The program will consist of "The
Warning, which pictures the over
whelming reality Of an air raid on a
typical British city and the destruc-
ton that accompanies it. One sees
too the work Of defense done by
both the military and organized CT
william corps and the task of restora-
ton as the tension slackens with the
report raiders passed..
This program is offered by the In
stitute in cooperation with Water
Witch Fire Company of Port Deposit
as its contribution to civilian de-
tense education.

County Schools To
Close May 10Th
Students Will Have Time
For College Entrance
And Farm Work

The Board of Education met In
regular session on Tuesday, Febru-
airy 10th. Those present were DR..
T. B. Moorey President, Mrs. WAL
lace Williams, vice-President and
Reuben Reynolds.
A delegation Of patrons from the
Jefferson school, Mrs. Glen McGrady
spokesman, came before the Board
with the request that the Jefferson
school be closed and the children
transferred to the Rising Sun school
beginning next school year. The
Board agreed to consider this re-
quest when making plans for the
coming school year.
The resignation of Miss Mary v.
Tomlinson, Assistant In the Cecilton
High school, was received and ac-
cepted with regret.
A letter was received from George
J. Balog, Principal of Chesapeake
City High School, asking for years
leave of absence due to the fact that
he had been called for military SER
vice. This was approved by the
Board.
The Superintendent informed the
Board that he had held meeting
of the high school principals re-
Gently at which time the length of
the present school year was discuss
ed. This discussion was held In line
with recommendations from the
State Department of Education that
the year be ended as soon as DOS
sible, thereby giving seniors time to
prepare for college entrance In June
and also to allow students to help
with the farm and other work. As q
result of this discussion, it was de-
cided to close all schools ON May
29th and to hold the seventh grade
exercises on that day. The high
school graduation exercises will be
held on Teusday, June End. 1t was
decided to have school on Easter
Monday to make up the day which
will be lost when the schools are
closed ON February 18th for the
Draft Registration. This was approv~
ED by the Board.
The Superintendent then discuss
ed with the Board at some length
the present and prospective short
age of teachers In this and other
counties. This is being brought
about by teachers going into de-
Tense work and by the draft. IN
view Of this fact, the Superinten-
dent suggested that Ii might be well
to tentatively engage teachers for
next year in SO far as possible.

ceived, and work on metal forming
can proceed. The instructors are
