War Halts School But
Not GrOund>Breaking

Citizens of the Bradbury Heights
community will hold token
ground-b breaking exercise for the
newly authorized Adelaide Davis Ele-
mentary School Building at $50
pm. today near the school site at
Forty-fourth place and H street Sc.
For almost IL years continuous
efforts have been made to secure
establishment of an elementary
school within the area of the COM
munity and year ago Congress
appropriated funds to acquire site
for the school and to construct
permanent building.
Then came Pearl Harbor and the
need for building materials in the
war effort compelled school and
District officials to substitute tenn
porary building in the Bradbury
Heights area. So the Bradbury
Heights Citizens Association de-
cided to hold the token ground
breaking celebration to show It's
confidence that, when conditions
change. the District will initiate
the work of constructing a perma-
nent school building.
Arrangements have been made for
the Anacostia High School Band
to furnish the basic music of the
program. Vocal music will be
rendered by a we'll known local
tenor singer. An historical address

community is located will be de-

organization will, however, permit
more extensive and more direct as

for the committees also will result,

Many prominent civic leaders are
expected to attend.
Citizens of the Bradbury Heights
community expect the completion
and opening of this temporary
Adelaide Davis Elementary School
Building early this autumn will
mark the beginning of an upward
trend in the community welfare and
more appreciation of the advantages
of this area lying on the Southeast
boundary line of the District and
northward from the Fort Dupont
Park area.
The children of Bradbury Heights
now are compelled to travel by
crowded public buses to distant
schools. 1t has been suggested that
the new temporary Adelaide Davis
High School will be very close to
a crowded school on its opening
day or very shortly thereafter. But
the parents of the smaller children
in the community are jubilant over
the assurance that their children
will have a school within walking
distance of their homes.

Family Boasts Excellent
Record in War Effort
Carl Bausch, Navy Yard
Embloye, Has 3 Sons
In Armed Services

The war effort is just about as
near a 100 per cent effort as pos
sible in the household of Mr. and
Mrs Carl Bausch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bausch. who live
at 1888 Kearney street NE, have
three sons in the armed forces.
There are two more sons at home,
who would prefer to be in uniform.
and a daughter who Is likely to
grow up to be nurse.
Mrs. Bausch, when she RECEIVERS
from a broken ankle, plans to take
a Nurses Aide course. Mr.. Bausch
is a Navy Yard employe, helping
turn out guns for the fleet.
Robert, 25, is the veteran of the
group. He went into the Army as
selectee in May, 1941, and now is
stationed with the headquarters

says, at st. Anthony's in Brookland.
Donald pops up every now and then
with some new plan for enticing his
mother into signing the necessary
papers, but Mrs. Bausch still is
holding out for the completion of
his schooling before he goes off to
war. So Donald, who has his eye

President of Forest Hills
Glad to Have I'd Term
First One Spent
In Learning Job,
Burmeisfer Says
By CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

Charles A. Burmeister Is con-
vinced there's only one way to learn
how to be good citizens associa-
ton president. Get elected as one
and then get reelected.
Mr.. Burmeister, now serving his
second term as head of the Forest
Hills Citizens Association. looks at
his first term as a sort Of training
period.
Il wanted to continue" he said
in an interview, because it really
takes year to learn the job
One of his major interests is his
home and rock garden, which he
has made his hobby. During the in
terview at his Office in the War
Production Board. he reached down
beside his desk and picked up a
photograph album, filled with pic
lures of his home at 1850 Broad
Branch road which he built in 1885.
After living in Mount Pleasant
area for number of years, Mr.. Bur-
meister and his wife, who is en-
ployed in the public school system,
decided In 1884 to look around for
site for new home. They finally
selected Forest Hills. 1t was not
long after moving that he became
a member of the citizens associa-
ton.
Civic Groups Different.
II feel that the civic associations
here are unique" he said They
are different than in other parts of
the country, where they are usually
political and interested in elections.
Here the objectives are entirely diff
ferent-they look after schools and
zoning and see to it that standards
are maintained for the community"
Although the Forest Hills asso-
citation Is far from being the largest
in the city, it has its share of promi-
nent civic leaders-among them Dr.
George C. Havenner, veteran worker
who lived for so many years in
Anacostia; L. A. Carruthers, former
president of the Federation of Cit
liens Associations; Mrs. Leslie B.
Wright and Ernest H. Daniel.
Il consider myself fortunate" Mr.
Burmeister said, Ito be able to work
with people of that type"
Mr.. Burmeister was born in 1887
in Tilden, Tex His father came
from Germany and worked on
Texas plantation. Later his father
became county surveyor, studied
law, was admitted to the bar about
1890, served as county judge and
district attorney and was member
Of the State legislature.

Mary, IL, Wants to Be Nurse.
Mary, aged II, is the daughter
who seems destined for nursing
career At any rate, her brothers S
think that would be a good idea.
Her difficulty is that she can't voice
preference for any particular
branch of the service. with her
brothers loyalties SO divided.
There is pride in Mrs. Bausch's S
voice, as you might surmlse when
she speaks of her sons.
I'm like most mothers. guess, "
she admits. II hate to see my boys
go away, but 1 would have been
ashamed if they hadn't wanted to
60"
Mrs. Bausch has one pet peeve:
when I hear people without any
sons in the service complaining
about spending money for war
bonds, which is an investment, I
do get mad" she says. They're
slackers with capital S. This is
a time for us all to pull together"

laden with pulpwood, piled on
rocks near Eagle Harbor upon

Reports to the Roen Steam
ship Co., of Sturgeon Bay, Wis,

The cook was Mrs. William

Captain Mcleod notified the

his crew donned life Jackets and,
with the exception of Mrs. Nc
Leod, succeeded in reaching
