lust Between
Ourselves .
BY Philip H. Love

An 8,000-mile trip by automobile,
to New York and then to California
and back, has convinced Bill Vip-
perman and AL Heck that there
really is mo place like home
namely, good old D. c."
The Eastern High School stu
dents made the trip this past
summer at q cost of about $500.
AIS 1910 car developed generator
trouble in Baltimore, its differ
entail collapsed near Denver and
a tire went fiat somewhere in
Nevada. Elsewhere along the
route the speedometer broke, the
gasoline tank cap and piece of
chrome were lost and the auto
ran into q ditch. But through
it all the boys kept their sense
Of humor-in fact, they even sue
ceeded in making their difficulties
sound amusing when interviewed
by Marty Everhard Of the East
erner.
New York failed to impress the
travellers, because Of its dirt and
crowded conditions" Bill said, and
even the beautiful Rocky Noun
tains proved disappointing. The
Rockies are nice to look at, the
boys conceded. but muddy roads,
hair-pin turns and snow so thick
that the windshield wipers went on
strike made scenery seem unim-
portant.
Students of Montgomery Blair
High School are pushing ahead
with their CARE program, started
in 1947. During the 1947-8
school year Blairites contributed

their gifts totaled $4,000, or 20
CARE parcels month. Pat Nor
row, treasurer Of last years CARE
Committee, is co-ordinator of the
1949-50 program, under the di-
rection of the Welfare Committee.

Holloway and Mrs. Frances An

The packages have brought
many letters of appreciation.
One family wrote: 1--WE say every
day, when we speak our daily
prayer, God save this boys and
girls, who send of this valuable
thing for living. You cannot know
how it is when children are ask
ing for bread and butter and you
cannot give it to them. Can you
now feel a little bit how thankful
our hearts are for your kindness?"

Marie Davanzo. Kramer Junior
High School, suggests that The
Junior Star include "a teen-age
problem clinic"-a sort of Dorothy
Dix column for boys and girls.
Well. any reader is welcome to
write to the J. s. for advice or
information and the editor Is al
ways glad to give what help he
can. Many such letters have been
received and answered, but none
have been published. However, If
enough readers agree with Marie,
there is no reason why some Of the
more interesting letters and an
swers cannot be printed without
names, of course).

The pumpkin has a leering face;
The witch on broomstick rides,
And moon and stars are cutouts
AS the blsck cat swiftly glides.
A thousand voices blending
AS an eerie elf jumps out.
And ghosts with green eyes blaz-
ing. -
Begin their creepy bout.
A shrill scream rents the silence
And skeletons jig with glee;
I hope all this is Halloween
And not the end Of me.

 Discussed by Plane
 Maker J.K. Northrup

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18-lR- Plane maker John K. Northrop whose contract to built Flying Wings" for the Air Force was can celled in favor of the B-36 Super bomber, doesn't believe politics had anything to do with it.
 He testified to this effect before House subcommittee which is in- vestigating reports that political favoritism may have influenced selection of the B-36 as a major air force weapon.
 Another witness, Oliver P. Echols, Northrop Board Chairman and one time Chief of the Air Force Ma teriel Command, said: T was prob ably more responsible than anyone else for having the B-36 ordered. I don't see how political influence could have been brought to bear in awarding the contract"
