To the Editor Of the Republican:


To the Editor of the Republican:
Same old tactics used by the Editor
and publisher of the Republican in
accurate. misleading and shows plain
lack of knowledge The facts are that
the referendum bill does not use all
the available money as the total Is
81 $50 100000 and there is an addition
al amount of over three hundred
thousand dollars that can be used,
not to mention the $500, 100000 that
the County can be bonded for by the
Commissioners. OF course they and
our self appointed Senators claim
the County will not be bonded for any
part of this $S04.00000. | wish we
felt that we could depend on that.
AS to what would happen at
Red House. Kempton and Deer Park.
Probably the same thing that has al
ready happened at Mt Zion, new
schools could be built. The infallible
paper evidently does not know that
a new school has been built at Mt
Zion and we think they have made a
deliberate error in the amount in the
bill for Grantsvillc.
We are tired of hearing that the
commissioners NilC +ANN ls'OA y NNlAl7
mittee and the Senator-Atty. should
get lot of credit for a good job well
done. We heard that from Offutt,
Dawson and Fraley in our case before
the three Judges of our Circuit Court
and we read it in this paper often.
Here are the facts on what has hap
pened so far for which the Com
missioners, the Advisory committee,
and the self-apponted Senator must
take the possibility. If the bonds
had been sold in l947 they could have
been financed at an interest cost Of
25(l less than is being paid. The site
North Of Oakland was approved by
the State Superintendent of Schools
and he made this statement to the
members Of the General Assembly
and the County Commissioners that
it was one of the best sites in the
State for High School. Another site
has been bought from a member Of
the B. of f. at cost of SIT 10000
for 3775 acres more or less. More
swamp and less good building or play
ground. Then they go to the Cove and
purchase 134 acres at cost of $l6,-
100000 that has an assessed value Of
$776.00. The five thousand school
children and what is Just as import
ant their parents should know with
out being told that the money has
been available for over three years
to build new High School and good
one in Oakland and the rest of our
schools put in decent condition. With
the help of the Commissioners and
the Senator this referendum bill can
be gotten through. Now if the Com
missioners, the Senator, the editor,
and publisher of the Republican are
sincere in their belief that majority
of the people are for the two High
School plan why are they opposing
this referendum bill?

are built on slim, vertical lines
the better to reveal your curves, il
is more important than ever tt
keep your figure proportions under
control and in balance. if you are
to win such high praise. There
are more Set-in sleeves to display
the set of your shoulders. More
low -buttoned jackets to show the
definition of your waist. More
straight skirts to divulge the bulge
of your hip. And no amount OF
alienation will disguise outsized
curves that you wish were not
there!
If these fashion notes cause you
fright, you'd better get busy be-
fore it's too late. Try these exer-
cises and in q few weeks, you'll
find that your new figure and your
new suit go beautifully together
/. For poised shoulders: Clasp
your hands at waist level. Pull
your shoulders first forward and
then back as far as possible. Hold
for a count of five and then relax
suddenly. That's the position
shoulders should be in for a
smooth lifting suit jacket!
2. For a neat waist: Kneel so
you sit on your heels and raise
your arms over you head. Salaam
until the palms of your hands
touch the floor far out in front OF
you and your forehead brushes
the floor just in front of your
knees. Come back to your start
ing position very slowly. Repeat
10 times. This one will straighten
out your back, too!
8. For fiat hips: Sit on the floor
with your feet straight out in
front of you. Throw your right
arm up in an arc over your head
as you rock onto your left hip.
Steady yourself by placing your
left hand on the floor. Now, rock
over onto your right hip as you
reverse your hand positions. Get
up a good momentum and keep it
up for fifty rocks"
And while you are aiming for
compliments. remember that even
a lovely figure will miss its mark
unless the suit you chose for, it
was designed with your special
figure proportions in mind,
whether you are tall or short, thin
or heavy. If you have the slight
est doubt about what's right for
you, before you select your new
suit send me your height and your
hip measurement. I will send you
a copy of my booklet, How to
Look Your Best" telling you your
best lines, best fabric texture
best color intensity and colors
and containing cotton swatches
and sketches. Inclose 10 cents
in coin to help cover costs and a
self addressed return envelope,

say to the one who inquired long
ago about the size of a cup in

standard measuring cup. which
can be purchased in any dime
store. These cups are made of
several different materials, glass
being the least desirable, and are
graduated, that is, marked for the

cups also come in sets of four. !

These are much more convenient
in measuring dry stuffs. Get both

yenient for some uses, but they
are much too light weight to be
convenient for mixing.

SHY GIRL.

(From H. B. c., ArlingtOn.)
To Mrs. E. B. of Washington:
According to your request in RICH,
l am not qualified to give a sug-
gestion, yet I do have few ideas,
gained by my own experience and
observations of neighbor girls:
l. Do not expect her to be one
OF a group but cultivate one pal
her own age, perhaps another shy,
lonely girl; let her invite her to
spend the night. confide in each
other their likes and dislikes, etc.
2. She is different from other
girls in that her pal has been her
mother, an adult. She may even
dress differently, more formally.
If she wears suits, hats and gloves
where others wear ginghams, or
jeans and go bareheaded, she is
different and will be repected.
You do not say whether you
live in an apartment or in
neighborhood of homes. If in the
latter, it will be easier to get &C
quainted with people with whom
she can feel at an advantage. or
superior. I mean old people who
appreciate young girls, taking an
interest in them, and very young
children.
Letting an old lady talk of her
experiences and memories to a
young girl can be as interesting
as book. or perhaps bore, yet
your daughter will find that her
interest is deeply appreciated and
she has become important to some
one. You can get in touch with
shutins through your church.
Your daughter may be able to
recapture scme of her childhood
play time with little tots. They
love to play house" and dress up.
With that spirit even a 9-year-
old can become a good baby sit
ter, capable of feeding, bathing
and putting to bed and making
little children behave. After sew
eral weeks of this experience I
trusted my little neighbor to stay
alone with my youngsters, being
better than an adult. Your daugh-
ter will gain confidence with sue
cess.

Delaware Court
Asked To Order
Negro Admissions

WILMINGTON, Del. -(SNS)-
A Delaware court was asked this
week to order the immediate adj
mission of 10 Negro students to the
University of Delaware.
Attorney Louis Redding accused
the University of Delaware of rae
ial discrimination. He stated that
10 students have the right to be adj
mitted to the best college in the
state.
The schools director of admis-
sions, Carl w. Bush, told the court
that he assumed" the students
were barred because they were
Negroes.
He said the university's commit
tee on admission has ruled that
Negroes cannot be admitted to the
school if the course they wish to
pursue is offered at any other state
educational institution.
Attorney Redding contended,
however that Delaware State Col
lege is not an accredited institu-
ton.

VICE-PRES. BARLEY TAKES FIRM
STAND FOR FEPC EQUAL
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY

Chicago, June 20 - Declaring
himself unequivocally in favor of
FEPC, and predicting that it will
finally pass even if certain willful
Senators succeed in blocking it this
time, Vice-President Barley
thrilled a capacity audience at the
Hotel Sherman here Thursday
Night.
Delivering the principal address
at the Fifth Annual Dinner of
Roosevelt College, Barley thun-
dered forth his stand for equal job
opportunity" II believe that the
man who is good enough to fight
for the way of democracy which
we cherish in this country ought to
be able to enjoy its every advan-
tage, and to earn a living in it."
he said.
The occasion, which was also
used as a fund raising effort for
the five-year- institution, which
the Vice-President and the other
speakers pointed too as a college
which dares to practice freedom in
education to all peoples regardless
of race, creed, or color, raised $67,-
500 in cash and pledges at the din
ner.
The President stated that
he was not in a position to say
that congress would pass the civil
rights legislation this session or
in another session. But declared,
whether it passes now or,1ater,
know that no matter what the
hurdle, civil rights ultimately will
become effective.
Other speakers included DR.. Ed
ward Sparkling, President of the
college, Marshall Field, Rev. Archi-
bald j. Carey, Joseph Germano,
President, Illinois CLIO, and Gard
ner Stern, Vice-President Hillman
Food Company.
