Central High School Graduate Offers
Solution to Central Cardozo Tangle
To the Editor OF The Star:
/ have been very much interested in
the Central High School transfer case
as was a member of the Central class
of June 40.
would like to present what to me
would be the perfect answer to this
question. This would be a nom segregated
school system in Washington. This has
been tried and has been successful in
other cities. If this was done Central
would remain Central, students would
not need to- be transferred. teachers
would not need to be transferred and
Central would be filled to capacity and
Cardozo would be helped.
Washington should show the way to
democracy in its school system, This
Is the only way we can some day have

in school. H. v. SEMLING, JR.
German Shipbuilding Was Issue
In 1900-And is Just as Hot Today
To the Editor of The Star:
In the Sunday Star we read that ship
building is hot issue in Germany.
Turning the page to Fifty Years Ago In
The Star" we read that the issue was
just as hot then as now. *r
In 1900 Germany was allowed to build
ships as she pleased. And fourteen years
later, when she had them built, she
started a war;
Now we are engaged in paying indem-
nifty to Germany for the damage we did
to her in World War II. OF course we
shall help her build up her shipping and
her Navy. Then. when she gets strong
enough, she can sit astride the fence
and figure out which power she will
play with or against.
1t really won't matter which side she
plays with so long as she can get into
world War III. w. M. T.

Asks Question About Democracy
To the Editor of The Star:
Last Sunday my husband and were
prepared to see the picture 1.-The

coming down to the theater we found

lined up on the side of the building.
We asked why the line, and were told
that colored folks were not permitted

Naziism, tells me that during Hitler,s
early days in power, he also put signs
up IN theaters and restaurants stating

America Needs Another Joseph
For the Lean Years That May Come
To the Editor of The Star:
America needs another Joseph. When
Egypt had seven years of plenty, the
rulers OF Egypt did not order the people
to limit their production of grain, or
to plow under every third row of cotton.
They had Joseph in their midst who
was in touch with God, and knew that
time OF famine of seven years dura-
ton was coming. So on Joseph's ad-
vice, Pharaoh built granaries to store
the surplus SO they might have food to
eat during the years of famine and
that they might have enough to furnish
to the starving nations surrounding
Egypt.
We need Joseph in our day to guide
us IN the ways of wisdom and common
sense.
, If we make no provision for emergen-
cles, we may meet the same fate as did
King Ahab in the days of the Prophet
Elijah, who predicted three and one-half
years OF absence of rain. The king
ignored the warning and suffered evil
consequences. C. S. LONGACRE

This once familiar question is
one that has not been sent me for
several years: ITO settle an argu-
ment, please come to the rescue
and tell us whether the hostess
accepts her own prize for highest
score at bridge and then in turn
gives it to the guest of honor. This
practice seems to be becoming
customary here and am one of
the women against letting it grow" "
This question was often asked
ten or more years ago but very
seldom heard now. In answer
I have to say that it is unthinkable
for the hostess to include her own
score as prize winning possibility,
and obviously unfair to present
the high-score prize to the guest of
honor when she had not won it.

the place of its birth and of Wis

many, Holland, England, Ireland
and Luxembourg. Travelling by
plane, train, notorious and boat,
Mrs. Lyells says she covered lot
of ground, air and water.
Among the high spots on her
travel itinerary were the French
Rivera, the Swiss Alps, the Eng

the most fascinating things she
saw were beautiful landscapes, ia

art, scenes of historic events in

said it was plentiful in the hotels,
market places, fields and gardens.
She collected hotel menus as evil
dence of the supply of food and
the tendency of Europeans to take
time to eat and enjoy their food.
