The GA classes, under the d.
rection of Miss Helen Boutell
are studying a unit on light. To
demonstrate the workings of the
science principles, the classes
have performed several inter-
esting experiments. A flash
light near ball in a dark room
showed why the suns rays can
not travel around the earth. For
another experiment, a hole was
punched in the center of two
pieces of cardboard. One card
board was held in each hand be-
tween the eye and q lighted
lamp. The light travelled through
the holes and showed the child
rem that light travels in a
straight line.
OF particular interest to the
students are the lessons dealing
with the structure and workings
OF the eye, mechanical aids to
vision, and the care of the eyes.

Patriotic
Engineer
Aids FBI

NEW YORK, Feb. 17-(R-
Red hot magic as practised by a
patriotic boiler-room engineer
has won him a place as a civilian
hero of the governments Nazi
spy roundup.
The engineer, Walter Edward
Morrisey, employed in the build
ing housing the German consul
ate, testified yesterday that when
consular employees brought him
large packages to burn last sum-
mer he thrust them into the fur
mace under their very eyes.
But, he added, he did so In
such a way as to cause the pa
pers themselves to smother the
flames, and later, when the
watchers had gone, he snatched
the scorched data from the fire
and turned it over to FIJI agents.
II did it because I am an Am
erican," he explained when
cross-examined about his action.
Morrisey testified at the trial Ct
five men and a woman on eS-
pionage charges.
Only one pre- 'uct of Morris
ey's self-detailed counter-espi-
onage activities was introduced
as evidence yesterday, but 1t
was understood the remainder of
the rescued papers had proved Of
great general value to federal
agents.
That paper, FBI agent Dwight
Brightman testified, was an Or
der, in code, to Paul T. Borch-
ardt, a former German army
major and one of the defendants,
to burn certain letters.
Kurt Frederick Ludwig, Rene
Froehlich, Karl Frederick Muel-
Ter, Frederick Schlosser and Mrs.
Helen Pauline Mayer are the
other defendants. A seventh de-

Garden Advisor, addressed a
meeting of leaders of garden
clubs held in the County Elk
tension Office on Wednesday aft

Utica Farmers Club Friday eve
ming at the Methodist Church
Parlors, Utica.
What to plant, when to plant
and how to plant were three
topics discussed. Bowser said,
BE economical, be efficient, use
rs much as yeu think Is neces-
ary to get the maximum produc-
ton, but don't over-buy vegeta-
BILE seeds, fertilizers, or insecti-
cides and fungicides, because
there are lots of other people In
the United States who want this
material"
Bowser suggested more root
crops, which can be sorted rath-
er than canned, be grown. Save
your cans for tomatoes, etc. One
very good reason for having a
garden is that people will eat
green and yellow leafy vege-
tables when they can pick them
from the garden, while they will
not when they have to 60 to the
store to buy them.
Plans for large, medium and
small gardens were given to
those interested. Insects, fertiliz-
ers and weeds were discussed.
Bowser concluded with always
stay on the offensive; never as

Dickinson

At the suggestion OF many
parents a meeting was called
Monday night, January 10, 1927,
for the purpose of organizing q
Parent Teachers Association.
Mr.. Forrest Taylor was chair
man of the meeting. Captain
William H. Lewis, the Masonic
Country Club pro at that time,
made the motion and Mrs. For
rest Taylor seconded il that q
Parent Teachers Association be
formed. After q brief discus
sion the motion received a unan-
imous vote. The following Off
GERS were elected:
President-Capt. w. H. Lewis;
Vice President-Curtiss Boyle;
Secretary-Miss Myrtle Stead
man; Treasurer-Forrest Taylor.
From the beginning the or
ganization was a very active
one. Never have parents given
any school system more loyal
support and never have parents
been more interested in all
school activities than they. They
learned the aims of the school
from their superintendent, L. w.
Fast, who from the first attend
ed most of the meetings; and
from Mrs. A. A. Thompson, then
the grade supervisor.
The school board bought
playground equipment which
was much needed. Oscar Watts,
Gustav Schalm and Forrest
Taylor took time off from their
work and actually set up the
equipment themselves.
Besides giving credit to those
people already mentioned, one
must attribute much of the sue
cess of the organization to Mr..
and Mrs. Alfred Tucker, of
Croker boulevard, who always
did their share of work and also
held open house for teachers and
other p. T. A. members; MIR. and
Mrs. Spencer Roys; Mr.. and Mrs.
Irwin Perry; Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
old Donaldson, whose son Harry
was at that time a member of
the third grade; the late Mr.. r.
T. Romine and Mrs. Romine. who
were very generous with their
time and money; and the late
Mrs. Herbert Whidden.
Because Of unfailing coopera-
ton of parents and teachers and
visible worthwhile attachments,
the Dickinson Parent Teachers
Association continues to func-
ton as actively as ever.
The second grade boys and
girls at Dickinson school have
been making snow pictures. The
bulletin boards show friezes
with pictures of the boys and
girls having fun skating on the
ice pond, and some playing in
the snow.
Other attractive pictures on
display are illustrations of fav-
orite stories. Among these are
"The Little Wooden Farmer"
Peter Rabbit" High Water"
'The Three Bears" and Snow

render highly important public service They are not
jobs in which they achieve personal glory The only
compensation they get the satisfaction of doing an
honest job.
It would seem only fair that they should be compen-

logical that the government should find some means of
paying them for their service The government
to find difficulty in handing lucrative positions to
persons who render service in other ways of which
appear much less important to the national security than
draft boards.
So far we know none of the local draft board
members have complained at the work they have to do
They look upon it patriotic service But it really
involves work. overtime work. late hours and more head
aches than any of us realize.
Theirs is hard and thankless task. The draftees
seldom express gratitude To the contrary they are
oftentmes somewhat abusive of the draft board
bers and charge unfairness and discrimination. Of
draft board members human but from our OBJ

creed national origin and called upon the Red Cross
its practice of segegang the blood of coored dom
ors
The resolution states I'm the armed forces coIored
men are segregated Under selective service colored
young being called at much slower rate than
whites The refusal of the American Red Cross to ac-
cept coored donors of blood pasma for the blood bank
for ransfusions and the mcrowng of such blood when
accepted, has aroused particular Indignation
$50 long as we appeal by radio and newspaper for
volunteers for the armed forces and then refuse simply
the ground of race accept the proered services of
patriotic colored youths, call for gifts of blood and
then insult the donors long as we refuse to permit
coored to make the Sacrifices not to speak of
enjoying the privileges, of citzensso long demon
srate that do not deserve place of honor by the
side of our great oriental allies.
This matter is of particular concern to the nation
since the morale of colore citizens in regard to the de-
tense effort is graVey involved 1t would be tragic from
every point of view to ALLEVIATE oneenth of the popula

MORALE

Because he holds Federal position the statements
of Dr. Robert c. Weaver matters pertaining coored
folk have often been dismissed forthwith at least have
not been taken seriously by coored people to whom they
were addressed For instance he gave out figures on

cause of the difficulty of checking up their accuracy
and also because of the feeling whether was justified
or not that his statements colored by his connections

it Is important that the coored worker feels that his

things, America must demonstrate that his contribution
