County 10 BuyWafime
Metal Buildings 10 Add
Needed SchooIrooms

Prince Georges County school Of
ficials today had authority to spend
$4,000 for the purchase of 20 war
surplus, prefabricated metal build
ings to help relieve crowded condi-
tions in county schools.
The move was sanctioned at Up
per Marlboro yesterday by the
county commissioners, after School
Supt. G. Gardner Shugart reported
that 400 metal structures were
available now at surplus depots in
New York City, Buffalo, N. Y, and
Linden. N. J.
Purchase of the buildings was
described by the commissioners as
the cheapest way to relieve the
school situation at this time"
Considered Temporary.
Mr.. Shugart emphasized, how
ever, that use Of the surplus struc-
lures will be considered only as a
temporary measure, and will not
interfere with permanent construc-
ton programs Of the school board.
Current plans call for erection of
only seven of the buildings imme-
diately. at a cost of an additional
SIS, 900 to make them serviceable for
school use, Mr.. Shugart declared. If
these prove satisfactory, the other
13 will be erected as soon as funds
are available. he said. If not, the
entire lot will be disposed of. he
The buildings are 20 by 100 feet
in size with A-type roofs. Most of
them are built entirely of corrugated
iron. To prepare them for school
nse viii cost about 81 Q, 600. each, in
cluding the purchase and trans
portation costs, foundations, heating
and lights, windows and partitioning
Mr.. Shugart said.
Five of the first seven to be
erected will be divided into three
classrooms each, and will be added
to the following schools: Mount
Rainier High School, Bladensburg
Junior High School and the Ager
Road, Lincoln and Glenarden Ele-
mentary Schools. The latter two
schools are for colored pupils. An
other will be added to the Green
belt High School for general pur-
poses, while the seventh will 60 to
the Douglass High School for COL
ored pupils at Upper Marlboro as
an agriculture shoproom.
Won't Meet Emergency.
Even with the temporary struc-
lures. however, the entire emer-
gency won't be met, Mr.. Shugart
asserted. Previously the school
board had reported that immediate
school demands would call for an
expenditure of more than $40 1000, 900
The commissioners informed them
two weeks ago that school officials
could expect no more" than 81 ,O00,-
600 annually.
Meanwhile. Mr.. Shugart an
nounced that bids on the first Sec
ton of a new senior-junior high
school for colored students at Fair
mount Heights will be opened at
3 pm. next Wednesday during the

county board of education. The

There, of course, are some people who
would eliminate everything that the New
Deal accomplished - just like there are
people who steal from blind beggars and
beat their grandmothers merely for the
pure Joy of being mean.
These are the incurables - and you
can't blame them for voting for the COP
and Dixiecrat reactiOnaries.
Right now we're not as concerned with
them as we are with by down with the
New Deal" talk when it comes from those
who damn the New Deal without reason
and those who damn it without meaning
what they say.

On at least one score Tom Dewey Is the

A New Zealand electrical workers union
made headlines in the U. S. because it sued
contracting firm for employing a "scab" fer
ret. The ferret also accused of union busting,
was used to do the work that it would take
union electricians weeks to perform. Lured by
the scent of dead rabbit the ferret pulled
500 feet of wire thru pipe. According to
United Press "The union charged the COM
pany was employing an unregistered worker,
paying insufficient wages and engaging an
under-age worker" It's a swell story but it
can be equalled If not surpassed by two others
recently. In Finland, union firemen protested

There's labor paper in Detroit called the
Wage Earner that apparently scrutinizes every
word printed in the Communist Daily Work
er. Their analysis of the Daily Workers distor-
tions and perversions of factual accuracy and
Interpretation have been reprinted by many
labor papers. The editors of the Wage Garner
probably take justifiable pride in the way they
keep book on the Communist publication, from
the editorials to the tiny classified ads. But
the editors missed out on the killing of life
time. The Daily Workers horse race handicap
per was the only New York city turf writer to
pick the days biggest longshot winner at Bel
mont Park. The Wage Earner's oversight was
doubly reprehensible because the winning

Women's News
And Views
BY Odessa Overy
Secretary Women's Bureau
Region 2-B

The womens regional con-
ference was the best that we
have ever had. At least that
is what everybody has told us
that had attended the confer
ence in previous years. ! shall
not go into detail as to pro-
gram, but l will give the high
lights of the principle speak
ers. Margaret Keeks spoke on
the Local IL choral group and
introduced our instructor, Mrs.
Davies, who also spoke briefly
and very highly about Brother
Gosser, Ballard, and Kengott.
Mrs. Davies gave a few in
structions during our COM
munity singing and you should
have seen and heard the diff
ference.
Mrs. Lois Cossitt gave a de-
tailed report on the LMC., how
it works and what it means to
Toledo. She told us that when
she first came to Toledo that it
was noted for its gangsters and
that its common name was the
'gangsters hotbed.' Mrs. Cossitt
said that Toledo has done pref
ty, we'll, to rid this city of its
hoodlums. She read the LMC,
charter to the delegation.
Virgil Barnhart told the
good that the coop organiza-
ton can do for the consumer.
Eldena Donovan gave a dis
cription of the new summer
camp guild.
Our own Brother Ballard,
director of region 2-B, open
ed the after noon session and
again welcomed the wo m n
delegates, and expressed his
desire for making this and the
coming conferences better and
better. He urged the delegates
to go back and try to get the
girls more active in the union.
He also urged the delegates to
use their privilege as Ameri-
cans and not to forget to vote
on November End and to vote
for labor supporters.
A lot of thanks to the girls
that served on the resolutions
committee. For the resolutions
that they had drawn up were
very good ones, and they were
all adopted. The resolutions
were eight in number. l.
women's conference organiza-
tion. 2.-Summer camp Guild.
3. - Housing. 4. - Consumer
Coop. Support of Tom
Burke. 6.-Legislation for the
good of Labor. 7.-Women's

full time the same as the men
as they are becoming more ed
ucated both in union problems
and the political field.
Joe Kowalski spoke on ma
tional politics. He stated that
the person that we want in Of
flee are the persons that can't
be bought. Regardless of
whether they are workers in
the shop, office, or whether
they have a college education.
He stated that we got a little
lazy the last 1S or IA years
because Roosevelt carried the
torch for us. For he had a
liberal amount of liberals" on
his staff that he could depend
upon to back up Labor.
On Saturday morning Mrs.
Wintringham made three chalk
drawings while she gave a very
inspirational speech. Her talk
was not pertaining to Union
ism or Union activity but it
certainly gave the women a
big uplift. They all said that
they could listen to her for
ever. Th girls said that they
were so inspired that they sure
hope that we have her again
next time. On completion of
her talk she turned over her
sketches to us and we are 60
ing to have them framed and
hang them in the Women's
committee rooms.
