tive from Monday, until sufficient
supplies have been obtained for the
armed forces.
VIA said that while 1t could not
disclose the actual number of tur-
keys required for Thanksgiving,

tity set aside Is likely to exceed the
35, 600 900 pounds obtained under an

to set aside 100 per cent Of turkeys
produced in "a States and In five
Virginia and nine Maryland coun-

Will Appeal 10 Board
For School Addition,
Committee of 5 Nomed;
Will Request Building
Of 8 More CIossrooms

A five-man committee headed by
Mayor John r. Fletcher Of Cheverly
will request the Prince Georges
County Board Of Education to con-
struct an eight-room addition to the
Cheverly- Tuxedo School to alleviate
overcrowding, and to provide emer-
gency space for pupils while the
addition Is being built.
The committee, appointed last
night at a meeting sponsored by the
ent-Teacher Association, was in
structed to meet with the board
July 25. Other members of the
group are Fred w. Cast, Philip L.
Goldsborough, L. Comdr. G. w. Dan
Junas and Edwin p. Corwin.
In urging erection Of an addition
the parents expressed their opposi-
ton to the proposed establishment
Of two-shift system of classes for
some Of the grades. They pointed
out that children attending the early
morning classes would be forced to
walk to school in the dark.
Those attending the meeting also
asked that the sixth and seventh
grades. which were removed to the
Bladensburg Elementary School
some years ago because of lack of
space at the Cheverly- Tuxedo
School, be returned when the addi-
ton is completed. 1t was suggested
that Lanham Act funds be obtained
n
Pending completion of the pro-
posed addition, the parents said
space Is available in the American
Legion Hall and in the Cheverly
Community Church for temporary
classes.
Mayor Fletcher declared that
there has been virtually no change
in the school building since 1892
although the community has grown
from 125 homes at that time to more
than $50 at present. The only effort
made by the Board of Education tc
expand facilities, he said. was the
conversion Of the school auditorium
into two classrooms.
He added that the six rooms and
six teachers At the school now care
for 354 children instead of the 24s
enrolled last year.
Meanwhile. Supt. of Schools Gard.
ner G. Shugart said there was little
hope for approval of such a projec,
until after the war. He pointed out
that the board has no funds with
which to match a Lanham Act ap-
propriation.
