Communists in Italy and France
have had sobering effect on the
Kremlin.
While the Soviet government has
shown no degree of sincerity In any
of its so-called peace" approaches,
using propaganda methods rather
than an honest effort to sit down
and talk things over, there may be
something more than strikes the eye
in the Soviet maneuvers, the opti-
mists believe.
These diplomats and politicians
contend that we are dealing with
men in Moscow who do not act in
the same pattern as Westerners.
The Soviet system Is conspiratorial,
and even in efforts to arrive at a
settlement the Russian leaders are
apt to take a conspiratorial line.
There is no real optimism among
proponents of the theory that Mos
cow has become worried. We must
await further developments, 1t is
said in these quarters, and must be
careful henceforth to provide no
further opening for the Soviet
propaganda machine to exploit
State Department diplomatic ac-
tions.
The next few months, these diplo-
mats and politicians say, will tell
the whole story.
One View Is Pessimistic.
In other Government quarters the
pessimistic view is taken that the
present lull in Germany, Austria,
Trieste and Western Europe is
simply a feint which must be
watched with utmost care since 1t
may be only the quiet before the
storm.
Trained observers maintain that
passage OF the 10 group Air Force
program by Congress and the prob
able enactment of a limited selec-
tive service bill does not, by any
stretch of the imagination, alarm
the Kremlin.

the press this statement by the Chief
Nutritionist Of the State DeparmeL
of Health
"The beginning of a school year
when both younger and older childrel
are filled with eager plans for this
year and the future, is am excellent
time to remember that healthy boys
and girls are likely to be happy and

lunch that supplies at least one-thjrd

"An important lesson for all BOYS

to select each day the foods that win

Among other things, Commissioner
Hanley stated that the principal
causes Of fire are attributed to the
failure Of people to avoid careless
habits with respect to the use Of
cigarettes and matches, which is the
chief offender, failure to use common
prudence in handling gasoline and
other flammable liquids, faulty and
lmakeshift electric wiring, permitting
the accumulation Of rubbish, neglect
ing needed repairs in heating equip
ment and defective flues.
The Commissioner further remarked
that the tragic loss of life and proper

tendent Of schools in this county f.!
thirty-siX years, and due for retire
ment in December. was granted q
leave of absence by the Board ri
Education, at a meeting held last
Friday, September "a.
Walter w. Dawson, president Of
the board, said it was customary in
Maryland to grant leave of absence
Of several months prior to retirement
to superintendent who had so lon =
a record Of service as that of NJ
Rathbun. Among the twenty-thrce
superintendent in Maryland Mr..
Rathbm had earned the title Of
Dean" through length of faithful
and efficient services.
Acting Superintendent
At the same meeting the Board ap-
pointed h. Bowen Hardesty as act
ing superintendent, effective Septen.-
Der 25 to December %, and also
named him superintendent, effective
December %, 1948, for a four yea
term
Board members at the meeting
noted the progress made in the
county school program during MI.
Rathbun's tenure of office, and it was
pointed out that through a deep
conviction and experience in the edit
cational field of work Mr.. Rathbun
early advocated the consolidation Of
schools to afford youth advantages in
better instruction accruing from hav-
ing larger groups of students under
one roof"
In these SO years Nh Rathbun
closed 115 one-room schools and de-
veloped larger centers.
1t was brought out that in speak
ing recently to his successor Mr..
Rathbun had indicated he was of the
opinion that the day of public resis-
tance to consolidation Of schools had
past; that in seeing school buses
operating safely over practically all
roads of the county, the public had
the confidence that even further col-
solidation was practical and to be de-
sired
The Board commended Mr. Rathbun
on "his long and faithful service to
the county, for his untiring efforts to
bring about better schools for our
county; and for his splendid cooper-
alton with the several boards under
which he has served for many years. .
The board meeting concluded witt
a few "reminiscences Of educational
progress and appointed a committee
to draw up resolutions to be adopted
in honor Of Mr.. Rathbun.

American, he was formerly curator of the

hard became voluntary German exile in

Coming to New York as Worlds Fair tech
nical consultant. he designed most of the
exhibits in the Hall of Man.
Shortly afterward, Dr. Gebhard landed a
new assignment. The late Elisabeth Prentiss,
hne-arts patron, donated her Cleveland
home and half million dollars to start the
first U. S. health museum. Now supported by
two endowment funds contributions and
memberships, the non-proit museum since
opening its doors eight years ago - has been
