Keep Children From
Attending School

Garrett county two-high school build
ing program carried out their threat
and kept their children away from
classes in the Kitzmiller school on
the opening day Of the 195O-51

ported 173 persons were due in the

notice to the County Commissioners,
and Board of Education, demanding
that sufficient funds be appropriated
to add "seven class rooms, gymnasi-
UNI, fully equipped shop, cafeteria,
home economies room and library"
to the school.
By way of reply the Board of Edu-
cation advised the committee it was
interested in providing educational
facilities and programs which would
best meet the needs of all boys and
girls in the county" and announced
that the school would open with a
full faculty for full term.
The Board further said the plans
would be studied this winter for i'm
provement of the present buildings
at Kitzmiller, Friendsville, Accident
and Grantsville.

the East and West Vindex and Shall
mar schools, nearby.
No Demonstration

stration. No placards were in evil
dence and no one attempted to pre-
vent or persuade the "a students
from entering the building. Trooper
Charles Dewitt was assigned to the
school after Mayor Leslie Sharpless
said there might be a demonstration.
Mayor Sharpless predicted last
night that the majority of the 300
students would return to their class
rooms by Monday. parents know the
worth of education, and they should
realize that the children are the ones
who will lose out" the mayor de-
clared. He added: 81 think it is a
very undemocratic way to get some
thing from the fiscal body of the
county"
r. Bowen Hardesty, county superin-
tendent of schools, said he does not
know of any immediate action by the
Board of Education. Walter w. Daw-
son, board president, said no immedi-
ate action has been planned. He said
there was a full teaching staff, all
busses were running, that the school
had been put in condition for the
school year. He added that both
buildings at VindeX had been reno
waited.
Any planned school building pro-
gram will not affect the elementary
situation in the least, he declared.

that the Kitzmiller enrolment was
81, the same as yesterday morning.
Two who went to school yesterday
failed to show up this morning, but
two new ones appeared today to make

Score Small Gains as
Miners Resume Work
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Mar 6.-Small
gains for many leading stocks
marked Wall Streets response to-
day to resumption of coal mining.
Demand for railroad and indus
trial shares lifted the general
price level at one time to it's high
est point in more than three
years.
But most of the advances were
scored In a lively first hour, when
traders bid up the issues of those
companies most likely to benefit
from early replenishment Of coal

This buying was readily alb
sorbed, and as dealings slowed
thereafter, some plus signs were
trimmed or erased.
Showing the way in the early
upturn were United States Steel,
Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Penn
sylvania Railroad. Baltimore &
Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio, Chrys-
Ter, United States Rubber, Good
year and Commonwealth Edison.
Others maintaining slight advan-
tage included Boeing, Standard
Oil of New Jersey, Air Reduction,
Homestake Mining. Sears Roe
buck. Distillers Corp.-Seagrams,
Lockheed, Santa Fe and Southern
Pacific.
Dropping fractionally were Con-
solidated Vultee, Goodrich, Kenne-
colt, Dow Chemical, American
Cyanamid, Westinghouse Electric,
Barnsdall Oil, Lehigh Portland
Cement, Caterpillar Tractor and
Twentieth Century-Fox.
Pushing forward in the curb
were Emsco Derrick g. Equipment,
Hammermill Paper. Cities Service
Starrett Corp, Northrop Aircraft
American Republics, Aluminium
Ltd, Colts Manufacturing, Rich
mond Radiator, United Light &
Railways and Tung-Sol Lamp
Dropping back were Salt Dome

and Cessna Aircraft.
Corporate bonds maintained q
steady tone.
