Anacostia Boy Visits Poland
With Cre1Us Of Cattle Boass
Prize Cosfribafios
By Lorry Bell, IA

An Anacostia High School boy,
Charles Jenkins, anticipated an in
teresting and unusual vacation last
summer when ne signed aboard a
cattle boat bound for Poland. His
expectations were amply rewarded
for he had many memorable ad-
ventures while abroad.
Since 10 per cent Of Poland's g.
100000 horses were either stolen
or killed during the war, the UNRRA
was eager to transport new ship
ments to the Polish people as ranidly
as possible. Hearing about the eni-
ployment opportunities offered to
competent high school boys on the
Liberty ships, Charles quickly sent
for an application form, filled In the
necessary data, obtained the required
recommendations, and then i'm
patiently awaited a summons to
work. Soon afterward, he received
a telegram ordering him to report
to Newport News, Va. From there,
he was sent across the James River
to the Coast Guard Building at
Norfolk, where he secured his sea-
mans papers.
Finds Four Classmates.
During the 10 days that followed,
Charles bufked at the Maritime
Club in Newport News, expecting
his final instructions at any moment.
Meanwhile. he discovered that ~
other boys, among them four Ana
costa classmates, also had been em-
ployed to feed and water animals
every day. Finally. on August %,
the Robert w. Hart and the Riddle
pulled slowly out Of port.
Unfortunately for Charles, the
North Atlantic was very rough and
cold, and he, as well as most of the
other inexperienced boys aboard,
suffered severe attacks of seasick-
ness.
He will never forget one exciting
incident which occurred when his
ship, the Riddle, rammed the Amer
ican Farmer. After the latter vessel
had been towed safely to port, he
thought no more about the accident
until he returned home to discover
that a serious controversy had
arisen between British and Ameri-
can seamen over salvage rights.
On September Z, after nine aays
at sea, the boats arrived In Eng
land. Because of the many. mine
fields, still a dangerous hazard to
unwary seamen, 1t was necessary to
stop at Dover and employ pilot to
guide the ship through the English
Channel. Here Charles glimpsed
the famous White Cliffs of Dover,
which he considered very attractive.
Shocked by Investigation.
Still lodging mine fields, the Rid
die proceeded through the Kiel
Canal. This part of the Journey
was greatly enjoyed by the entire
crew, the boys staying up most OF
the night to view the beautiful land
scape dotted with medieval castles
on the German side Of the canal.
At last, the ship docked at DAN
zig. AS soon as the horses were un-
loaded, the Polish people accepted
full responsibility for their care
The American boys, free Of their
charges, then toured the city under
the sponsorship Of the UNRRA
Charles was shocked at the many
terrible sights, such as the bombed
cathedrals. the wrecked houses and
the wasted country side
Now it was almost time for the
ships to leave for home, but before
they departed the grateful people of
Poland held a banquet for all the
boys. 1t was therefore with min
g,ed regret and JOY that Charles
sailed for the United States to re-
sume his studies.

4 Ride in the Woods
Prize Confribafios
By PouIo Anderson, 7
Bornord School

Once there were a little boy and
girl named Andy and Caro-, They
lived one mile away from the woods.
They each had 8 pony.
One day, they took their lunch
and got on their ponies and rode to
the woods. Andy started climbing a
tree to get some leaves for scrap
book. He saw a robins nest in the
tree. A mother robin was sitting on
some eggs, waiting for them to
hatch into baby birds.
Andy quickly got down from the
tree so he wouldn't disturb the
mother bird. He thought that some
time he would come back, after the
birds had left, and get the nest to
show his mother He saw the father
bird bringing a worm to the mother,
because If she went for her own
food, the eggs would get cold and
the baby birds would not hatch.
Andy looked around for Carol.
There she was, picking some wild
flowers. There were purple and
orange ones. Carol put her flowers
in a basket and then they had
lunch. After they had eaten, they
went home.

Havana has its race track and
baseball park, both surrounded by
trees, which add to their attrac-
tiveness.
Mahogany Fence Posts.
The forests in Cuba abound in
hardwoods. They are so plentiful
that the farmers use mahogany
for fence posts. 1t is also used for
railroad ties, Office furniture and
ceiling rafters. The mahogany takes
polish and its mirrorlike< surface is
very beautiful.
Havana has its first-run moving
pictures and national opera
house, where during the winter a
season of opera is given. It also has
q theater where dramas and oper-
ettas written by Cubans are pro-
.duced.
Spanish Is the official language,
but English is spoken in all hotels,
in most stores and by all taxi
drivers.
ALI this makes the Cuba I love
and the one you some day may
visit.

Washington-Lee Pupil Tells
Of Allure of Old Havana
Prise Contribution
By AroceIi Resuero, Is
Woshinaion-Lee Hiah School

Havana has the allure of an old
city with all the comfort sand con-
veniences of modern civilization.
The grim fortress Of Moro Castle
guards the entrance to the harbor,
as it did long ago. in the days of
wars and pirates, and the magnifi-
cent capitol can be seen from all
parts Of the city.
The streets in the old section are
so narrow that the sidewalk" is
often a mere curbing to prevent
vehicles from scraping the houses.
However the modern avenues,
flower bordered and tree shaded,
rank with the finest in the world.
Stores and Markets.
There are large, up-to-date de-
partment stores, fine speciality shops
and well-equipped markets.
The bathing beach at Marianao
is the first place to which the vis-
itor is taken to enjoy dip. There
are large and comfortable bath
houses, stretches Of white sand with
high umbrellas and an excellent
restaurant where one may eat the
finest Cuban dishes. There is also

expect to encounter art displays
in this research center for scien-
lists expanding the field of medical
knowledge. Nevertheless, the library
owns an unusual collection of pic
torial material on all phases of medi-
cine and the related sciences. OF
approximately 5000 pictures, more
than 10000 are group and indi-
vidual portraits of doctors from early
times to the present.
Such great masters as Durer,
Rembrandt, Teniers and Tiepolo are
represented in the collection with
originals and reproductions. There
Is a large group of medical Carl
catures by Hogarth, Rowlandson and
Daunlier. Autographed photo
graphs Of fellows Of the American
College of Physicians constitute a
growing collection. During the first
five months of 1916, the library
acquired 1,675 items.
The exhibition on display in the
second floor corridor Of the library
Is entitled "The Scientist Exposed
and is composed of portraits of
noted scientists of last century.
Most of them were the work of
APE" and Spy of Vanity Fair.
APE" (Carlo Pellegrini) began
his series of portraits of public
men in 1862; he was regarded as
the outstanding personal caricatur-
ist in England. His portrait In
color of Thomas Henry Huxley
tphysiologist) and the chemist DR..
Lyon Playfair seem very mild ex-
amples of caricature, if one can
call them that.
"Spy" Leslie Ward drew for
Vanity Fair in the next generation.
Although he did not reach the
heights of brillance achieved by
his predecessor, it is said that his
general level of merit was higher.
Half Of the present exhibition is
his work. His capture of Sir Rich
ard Douglas Powell, Queen Vic
toria's physician, is straight por-
traiture, Of a subject who could have
posed as the legendary Englishman.
The best known of the celebrities
depicted, Charles Darwin, the
Curies and Louis Pasteur, were
made by artists of less Importance.
However, all are interesting and
have considerable individuality.
This exhibition and others at the
Army Medical Library are arranged
by Richard Hood, public relations
officer. He is himself an artist, q
painter and etcher. In the 30s
he was associated with the WPA,
in Pennsylvania. A few years ago,
he was one of the soldier artists
who received prize in the large
exhibition of service art at the
National Museum.

Aztec History Reviewed

A noted archeologist some years
ago said that Columbus discovery
Of America was an incalculable dis
aster, since it killed several mag
niflcent indigenous cultures which
were developing In the Western
Hemisphere. The heights to which
these might have risen we shall
never know, because of the white
mans destructive ways.

codices, made by Katharine Birds
eye Lang. Of Washington, which
gives an absorbing glimpse of one
OF the greatest of these pre- Colum-
bian civilizations, which fiourished
in what is now Mexico.
A series of Is panels on view
each accompanied by extensive de-
scriptions of the paintings, pro-
vides complete thumbnail his
tory of the Aztecs as recorded by
their own artists. 1t begins with
the departure of Is tribes from
their mythical place of origin, their
many centuries en- route and the
arrival of seven surviving tribes on
the site Of Mexico City. Some OF
their gods and religious ceremo-
MES, their life and customs and the
evil events Of the Spanish Con-
quest are all seen through the eyes
of Aztec Indian artists.
1t is a record of beauty, history
and human interest which should
attract a wide audience.

Referendum
May Decide
Future

The destiny of tobacco as the
Hading money crop in eastern North
Carolina is at stake today when
flue-cured tobacco farmers every
where cast votes 70 determine whe-
Their or not government acreage quo
tas continue to exist or die natural
death.
Several states, notably Georgia and
louisiana, are almost sure to vote
against the government control, the
authorities say, because they want
to grow more tobacco than they are
now growing. This means that If
North Carolina is to stay at the
top in the tobacco industry, they must
turn out in great numbers to vote
for the control or else 1947 will be
out of control.
Should the control cease with the
present crop, it is believed that the
increased growth of tobacco IN Ca,
and La, would flood the market come
another year, thus forcing govern
ment control in 194S. If the present
control is voted down, North Caro-
lima acreage will undoubtedly take
a cut when future quotas are s.lotted.
TWO thirds Of all farmers voting
today must cast affirmative ballots
or else control stops. The voting
can be one. of three ways; Quotas
NAV be continued during 1877, they
NAV be continued for ls47, '4s, and
40, or they may be discontinued.
Farmers have an opportunity to vote
for one of the three alternatives
listed on the ballots.
At the present time. flue-cured
tobacco growers are producing ABOVE
world consumption levels to build up
depleted stocks in war torn coun-
tries. Market quotas afford the OPP
portunity to adjust this supply to
demand.
j. P. Quinerly, assistant rounty
agent of Columbus county, carries
an article in The Tribune this week
which brings out some of the rea-
sons why tobacco farmers in this
area are being urged to vote af1ir-
NATIVE in today's referendum.
Voting will be done at the usual
community centers where such is
sues have been voted upon before.
