Horror Films,
Programs Hit By
School Board

In response to request from the
secretary of the Current Comment
Club of Silver Spring, asking the
cooperation of the Board of Edu-
cation in campaign against the
"crime and horror programs given
over the radio, the pictures of
gangsters in movies, the crime and
torture comic strips published in
the daily newspapers and the
crime comic books" the Board
Tuesday expressed it's desire to
cooperate fully in developing pub
lie interest in the elimination of
such influences and directed that
the Parent Teacher Association
and other school organizations be
apprised of constructive measures
for the correction of such pro-
grams.
The Board of Education at it's
meeting on Tuesday granted per-
mission for school children to have
an opportunity to contribute to the
Walter johnson Foundation which
is being sponsored in the county.
The Board discussed the prelim-
mary budget studies being carried
on to meet the needs of the schools
for next year. A study of each
building is being made to determine
what will be necessary for next
year.
An application has been filed
with the U. S. immigration and
Naturalization Service for Sher-
wood High School to be placed on
the list of approved schools for
immigrant students. The need for
the approval of the school arises
because students from foreign
countries living in the community
are required to attend school
that is approved by the Immigra-
ton Department, in accordance
with government provisions cover
ing students who are temporarily
located here.

famous churches in the nation.
Built in 1874, members of many
famous French and Spanish fami-
lies are buried in front of it's altar.
Just across the street is Jackson
Square, once the public square of
the city. 1t was laid out by the
founder, Bienville, in 1920. The
Jackson monument by Clarke
Mills, is worthy of comment. So
we'll poised are the figures of
! horse and rider, that the 10000
pound weight has rested unsup-
ported on one hoof of the horse
since 1856.
On two sides of the Square are
the 100 year old Pontalba apart
ment houses, said to be the first in
America: In the iron trellis is
woven the initials of the builder.
So popular are these apartments
that the waiting list" is said to
read like "Who's Who"
We strolled along the famous
Rue Royale, both by day and at
night. Known throughout the
world for it's antique shops, this
street was the first in the city to
be paved. Ships returning from the
old world for cargoes of new
world riches sold their ballast of
stone blocks from Belgium to the
city at cost of less than $1.00
! for each block laid.
The French market, which ex-
tends four blocks, we also visited
both by day and night. During the
day, it is said that almost every
language is spoken beneath it's
roof. The ceaseless babel is simply
bewildering. One night after ''do-
ing" gambling places and night
clubs with the. doctor and his wife,
We stopped in at two in the morn
ing for the traditional coffee and
doughnuts at one of its stands.
In three days and the greater
part of two nights / saw much of
the city. Next week, though,
hope to be at home. I'll tell you of
dinner at Antoines; luncheon at
Arnaud's; driving along the Levee;
visit to the banana wharf-"no
bananas; Of the lovely garden
section of the city; few night
spots, and of Canal Street which
outshines New York's "Gay White
Way"

Friends and members Of the POI
tomac Methodist Church had the
opportunity Thursday, Feb. 10, to
see the newly decorated and re-
furnished parsonage. Some months
ago this house was acquired and
now the inside work is virtually
complete. That this was done and
the work and furnishings paid for
is due mainly to the generous con-
tributio.s of time, money and mar
terials by friends and members Of
the Potomac Church. They have
thus made it an attractive home
and useful parsonage.
Table decorations were appro-
pirate to St. Valentines Day. Mrs.
Bertha Perry, a member Of the
Church for many years, poured
punch during the evening. She was
assisted by Mrs. F. Scott Collins,
Mrs. Joseph Burroughs, Mrs. VIII
liam Lynch, Miss Mildred Embrey,
Miss Evelyn Ricketts, and Miss
Shirley Worsham.

To properly see New Orleans
one should have two heads like
Janus" Certainly two pairs of
eyes are needed, one with which to
gaze back at the momentos of the
historic past-the atmosphere of
old France and old Spain the
other to better see the city of to-
day which lies just the other side
of Canal Street.
When in the early days New
Orleans was a 'walled city," the
boundaries were the canal, Ram
part, and Esplanade, with the Mis-
sissippi forming the fourth "wall."
And So today the area enclosed by
these streets is called the old
French quarter or the Vieux Care,
which literally translated means
"Old Square" Pronounce it wee
yuh cah-ray to appropriate the
correct French. This is the part
Of. the city that holds the greatest
interest for tourists.
Leaving Biloxi early Monday
morning, with absolute faith that
would find place to stay, in spite
of warnings that all hotels were
filled-that night found me safely
housed by French family on Es-
planade Avenue on one border of
the Vieuxs Care. This was partly
due to my usual good luck, and
partly through the courtesy of the
Chamber Of Commerce, which took
me under it's wing.
To get to the hotel on Canal
Street, which was headquarters
during my waking hours, by bus
or taxi it was necessary to go
through the Vieux Care. With the
wife of a Cleveland physician and
several other women from the no.
tel, the greater part of the first
day was spent on a conducted tour.
A lecturer pointed out historic
places and we later returned to
those which most interested us.
Thus the second day we spent
hours in the heart of the old city
where beauty, history and romance
are mingled and where treasures
and the distinctive customs of it's
early life are perpetuated.
Why don't they clean it up and
repaint it, asked a lady from Chi
cago, unmindful of the fact that
the appearance of being about to
fall to pieces is part of the atmos-
phere which incidentally pays big
dividends.
The narrow streets and "ban-
quettes," as the sidewalks are still
called, the hoary buildings with
their myriad shaped roofs and
chimneys, the iron trellised frozen
lace) balconies, the sweeping fan
windows, and the conglomerate
Creole architecture with its French
and Spanish influence, are rich in
appeal.
The houses are built flush with
the sidewalk-the balconies project
overhead. Here and there an open
courtyard or alley door gives one
the opportunity to gaze in or to
stroll into lovely patio. If a
stream Of words from an unseen
source greets one, you only look in.
We visited Cabildo, built in 1876,
now the State Museum, which has
a history as interesting as It's rel
les. There / entered the cell from
which the notorious pirate, La
Fitte, escaped; strolled down Pr
rates Alley through which the pi-
rates were taken to Jail in Cabil-
do, and walked on the balconies
and courtyard where they exer-
cised. It was in the Cabildo that
the million square miles now di-
vided into all or part Of II states
became a part of the United
States in 1903, at a cost Of $751;
100000 or about cents an acrel

Old Ma'am River
BY KATE MOLINOFF

Captain Mary Greene has
been plotting a riverboat for
50 years. But she still prefers
sequin dresses to slacks ..
EoR Captain Mary Greene, 78, equal
Il rights for women began more than so
years ago, when she got her captains license
and shared watches with her husband. To-
day she is the only woman on the Ohio who
has both pilots and masters license.
Mrs Greene is also the owner of the Gordon
Greene, survivor of the stern-wheel packet
boats which used to ply the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Rivers by the thousands.
Il studied three years for my pilots
license, and another year for my masters
papers" she relates. MY husband wanted
me to have them 50 could spell him.
What did people think of it? Well, I
knew I'd be talked about, 50 l asked the
consent of both our families first. The crew
gave me mo- trouble, even when we
bought another boat and was in COM
mand. But passengers used to climb up
ON the texas deck to stare at me, so l
took the night watch Farmers along the
river evidently liked "Old Ma'am River"
because they used to 60 on her boat by
preference.
