Washington, d. c." goes unanswered
for another week.
One of the girls, Anna Waters,
entered three hats in the contest.
One is a small pink beenie trimmed
in black sequences; another is of
black straw with pink feather on
the side, and the last is small
black felt hat with very narrow
brim, edged in checkered taffeta and
with a large bow of the same check
cred material adjoining the back
Pat Spessard entered a black
straw hat with a wide brim, which
she wore in the Easter Parade last
year and remodeled this year by
placing pink daisies in front and a
big black bow in the back. She al
so entered grey felt hat with a
multi-colored array of flowers in the
front and a grey bow and pink
veil in the back, which is to be worn
with grey suit.
Doris Cearfoss has a hobby
horses-and from what 1 could gath
er she talks, eats and sleeps them.
Well, she designed a very beautiful
sports jacket and small band-like
hat to match, in horses'heads. AT
first, Miss Cohill, the home econom-
les teacher, talked against this de-
sign, believing that it would not be
successful. But Doris went ahead
with her plans and it's good thing
she did because now Miss Cohill is
not only in favor of the design but
also is proud of the fact that she
drew and embroidered the horses
heads on her jacket and hat in good
taste" The material is navy blue
wool and is embroidered in tan
thread.
Kitty Hook entere da hat of navy
blue felt with a navy blue band
around the brim, and navy and
checked bow made of buttons in the
center front.
Ann Zimmerman also had an en-
try, a blue wooden hat with black
ribbon around the crown, which she
will wear with a blue suit of the
same material.
Pink flowers adorn the narrow
brim of Peggy Weller's hat, which

What is the effect of comics on
younger people?
Do you know? Well, several stu
dents at H. H. S. tried to answer the
question last Wednesday morning
on the Junior Town Meeting of the
Air, which was broadcast over sta
ton VIDAL from the stage of H. H.
S.
Robert Appleget acted as student
announcer, and George Darlington,
moderator. DR.. Floyd Cromwell,
director of Guidance for the State
of Maryland, introduced the speak
ers.
Expressing their views on the sub
iect were David SWartZ, Ann Schin-
del, Barbara Hartsock, and Donald
Hoffman. David Swartz, the first
speaker, stated that comics in most
cases We're pieces of art both in tex
ture of the story and the sketches
The next speaker was Barbara Hart
sock, who contradicted David's
statement by condeming comics as
trash"
Ann Schindel gave statistics on the
sale of comics each year and added
that they afford supply of enter
tainment and also are becoming a
great medium of our education. The
last speaker was Donald Hoffman,
who stated that comics discourage
thinking, and cultivates the readers
minds toward crime.
Following the main speeches, q
panel discussion was held at which
time the students from the audience
asked questions of the student forum
Those asking questions were: Ann
Stouffer, Dean Castang, Lucille
Geiselman, Nancy Saylor, Laura
Shatto, Doris Butts, Dolores Ken
nedy, Pat Emerson, Pat Crunkleton
and Paul Byers.
HIS. is again out to win ma

High School Chatter
By Clara Blevins

Here we are again, alive and hap
DIV after our five day vacation from
school, and anxious to finish these
last short months of school in a
hurry.
There will definitely be a Pan
American Day program and big,
bang-up performance is in the max
ing by the Spanish classes of HIS.
What the program will be, l have
no idea, for all the information the
sponsors will release is, ''Pan Amer
lean Day is on April IA" That's a
fine thing to do, keep a person in
the dark. But more about the mat
ter next time.
By next weeks issue of the paper,
| hope to have the names of the
winners in the Cleanup Campaign
Poster contest which is being spon-
sored by the Student Council.
incidentally, the campaign is hav-
ing an evidence effect upon the APP
pearance Of the school, since the
students are taking more interest in
keeping paper and trash off the
floors and corridors.
The members of the Future Teach
ers of America Club of HIS. at
tended a special meeting last Tues
day afternoon, when Miss Black
ford spoke on Trends in Modern
Education" Miss Blackford is the
county superintendent of element
airy schools.
stage Door," a comedy by Edna
Ferber and George S. Kaufman has
been chosen by the senior class as
the play to be produced by the class
this spring. The production will be
under the direction of Miss Miriam
Walker, Miss Sarah Humrickhouse,
and Mr.. Atlee Kepler
The scene of the play is the Foot
lights Club, which is a boarding
house for aspiring actresses. Mrs.
circuit, former stage star, is the
owner of the club and represents the
typical retired actress whose days
are over.
The action of the play concerns the
ambitions and hopes of sixteen
young women who want to became
actresses, but the central plot con-
Germs young Terry Randall, who
fights her way against discourage
ment and poverty to position in
the theatre.
There are a number of character
parts in the play-Mattie, the colored
maid; Frank, her husband; a few
young men callers, a movie magnate,
and young Keith Burgess, the play
wright who goes Hollywood
This play was a successful broad
way production and is a rather I'M
usual high school production, but
a likely choice for a senior play
since it uses thirty-three characters.
The tentative date of the play is
May IA and try-outs will be held
during the first week in April, with
practices beginning Immediately af-
terward The try-outs are open to
all members Of the senior class.
With eight entrants in the MAKE
A Hat contest, it has been rather
complicated for the judges, who are

which they were to be judged.

Federal Aid in Dispersion
For Atomic War Is Urqed
lx thu Asxaeiafsd Rrasa

A Federal official said yesterday
the Government should be ready to
lend aid to States, counties and
cities to help disperse industry for
protection against atomic warfare.
j. w. Follin, assistant chief Of the
Federal Works Agency, said official
reports indicate that the Nations
industries, now largely concentrated
in big cities, should be spread out
to urban communities of not over
$4,000 population.
This is predicated on the belief
that such community will in most
cases be too small q target for
atomic attack because of the tre-
mendous cost Of atomic bombs" Mr..
Follin said, writing in the current
issue of Public Construction, monthly
publication Of the Federal Works
Agency.
"A long-ranse policy Of dispersion
of industry is necessary for and
vital to the National defense" he
said.
But Mr.. Follin said many COM
munities may not be fully prepared
to work with industry In planning
and executing dispersion program.
In that event, he said, the Federal
Government may be called on by
State and local jurisdictions to pro-
vide financial and technical assist
arce.
FOR some years" he added. there
has been \ moving out Of industry
from the central cores Of our large
metropolitan communities. This has
been occurring largely as an unreg-
ulated sprawl, circling and spread
ing around the larger cities. instead
OF the orderly process Of dispersion

Minor Rate War Is Due
This Week as AirIines
Disagree on Fares

A minor rate war is expected to
begin Wednesday among the Big
Five" domestic airlines. The Civil
Aeronautics Board failed to produce
an agreement on fare increases be-
tween American Airlines and East
ern. United. Transcontinental and
Western and Northwest Airlines.
CAB Chairman Joseph J. O'Con-
nell, jr., reported the stalemate
after q meeting Of the airlines' rep
resentatives Friday. and said the
increased fares filed by the lines
would 60 into effect Septsmbsr /.
Eastern, United, TWA and North
west viii raise fares 10 per cent on
Ill their planes. American win raise
rates only on flights BY other planes
than dogs, on which there Is Q 10
Per cent surcharge which amounts
to about $l6 on . coast-to-coast trip.
A. . result, . transcontinental night
on an American DOG will cost about
~ less than on the same kind OF
plane with the other lines.
Most major lines are adopting .
5 per cent reduction on round-trip
tickets. but American indicated it
had no such plan in mind. The
basic fare on all lines will 20 up
from about SIS to 8 cents . mile.
American Airlines says $50 Of
its passenger trade IL carried on
dogs, and contends it would lose
business by superimposing the rate
increase on the extra fares.
Mr.. O'Connell said the fare in
crease was the only subject discussed
at Fridays conference, which had
been called in the hope of producing
uniform rates. He added that the
board had not yet decided whether
to let American Airlines institute
a family fare" by which a wife and
minor children could travel with
the head of a family for half fare
