Grammar School
Durkened by HeuvY
Ruinfull: No LIGHTS

Due to ususually heavy rain
fall the Christiansted Public
Grammar School was virtually
under water as roof of impos-
ing three-story structure Leak
ed and teachers were forced
to close windows and doors to
keep out the driving rain.
With no lights available in this
building classrooms were dark
ened, made worse by the fact
that the color of the closed
windows are Of a dark shade.
Teachers and children had
wet feet just walking through
the building.
The cost of installing lights
throughout this building is Ger
tainly not beyond the reach Of
the Municipality and hope has
been expressed that some mem
bers of Council would make
an effort to secure the neces-
sary funds for this work.

Several warnings have been

that the patience of this Gov

Delicate, Light Iron Furniture Finds Place in Bedroom
By GIodys Miller
Secretary, New York Chapter,
American institute OF Decorators


This bedroom is something
straight out of a fairy queens
palace. Here everything is pink
carpets, walls. curtains and bed
spreads. The dusty black iron
headboard and other iron pieces
offer just the right note of in
terest.
Iron furniture in a bedroom?
Yes! But such a different type
from that popular a decade or so
ago. This new collection, made in
Puerto Rico, is delicate and light,
yet strong and sturdy. Without
losing any of its practically for
daily needs, it fits into our modern
pattern for finding furnishings
which look well in small areas.
Selection of Pieces.
The selection in this new group
includes chests, tables, book cases
and desks, made of solid mahog-
any that has been stained gray or
deep rich green and rubbed down
to nice semimatt finish.
The legs of the chests are
separate units that slip into slots
in the center of the side of the
chests and are made with a notch
at the top, so that two chests can
be locked together to form a more
massive piece of furniture.
The frames of the chairs are
made of slender square rods of
iron, and the upholstered seats
and backs are set into the frames,
making them as luxurious and
comfortable as any good uphol-
stored chair. Rust-proof iron
furniture has long proved practical
in hot, humid climates where wood
furniture would warp: Now, with
new design. it wins its way into
our homes, because it is attractive
as well as disable.
Colors Keyed to Painting.
The colors in this feminine room
are keyed to the painting hung on
one wall.
The deep pile texture Of the
wall-to-wall wool carpet, the tex
ture Of upholstery on the COM
Portable chaise Tongue compensate
for the tightness of the furniture
itself and the smoothness of the
chintz spread and dust ruffie. Good
decoration plays the scale of tex
ture contrasts.

Cook County Election
Proclamation Held Uu
By High Court Ruling
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Nov. ia procla.
nation of all Cook County elec-
ton winners will be held up until
attorneys for the Chicago Can
vassing Board obtain Qualification
|of an Illinois Supreme Court
order, it was announced today.
At the same time a new knot
was tied in the complicated legal
tangle when an attorney noti-
fed the Chicago Election Com
mission he will attempt to block
the proclamation of all State and
county election victors until a re-
count is made in Chicago voting
machine precincts.
Some legal observers believed
the action would involve the en-
tire State ticket and extend to
the Senate and some House seats.
Clarification Is Awaited.
County Judge Edmund K.
Jarecki announced the proclama-
ton delay after a conference of
the Chicago Canvassing Board
with attorneys.
He said the Supreme Courts
ruling yesterday is not clear
whether a voting machine check
must be made of all Offices or
Simply for the Office of county
judge.
The canvassing> board said it
would telegraph the State Su-
preme Court Immediately to re-
convene at the earliest possible
day to clarity the order.
A proclamation of election re-
suits is necessary before a sue
cessful candidate can be inaugu-
rated. Inaugurations are sched-
uled for December 4.
Could Tie Up Entire Ticket.
The Board of Election Commits
sioners, in this election, can pro-
claim the city Office of municipal
judges. and a bond issue result.
The county clerk must proclaim
the other winners. In turn the
State Board proclaims National
and State Offices.
Thus. political observers say, a
restrictive order in Cook County
can tie up the entire State and
National ticket.
II so, presumably. Republican
Everett M. Dirksen who defeated
Senate Majority Leader Lucas,
could not take his Senate seat
until the Cook County proclama-
tions are made.
The same would apply to Cook
County House races.
The Supreme Courts ruling in
volved Judge Jarecki's unofficial
reelection victory over Repupli-
can Grenville Beardsley. Judge
Jarecki's margin was 1900 votes.
Order Upset by Appeals Court.
Mr.. Beardsley challenged the re-
turns. He claimed a check of the
mechanical counters on 1890 vot-
ing machines would show him the
winner.
He obtained an order nom
Judge John Sbarbaro of the Cook
County Superior Court directing
the canvassing board to make the
comparison.
However, the Illinois Appellate
Court upset Judge Sbarbaro's or
der early yesterday. Then the
State Supreme Court took up the
case Immediately. The high court
ordered that the canvassing board
hold up its canvas until they ex-
anime the contested returns.
Later in the day. the high court
limited its order to the county
judgeShip.

The scholars whom we assem-

who constitute the editorial board
of JeaUish AprocryphGI Literature
feel that the time has come when
this entire literature ought to be
reclaimed for the Jewish people
and ought to be re-interpreted in
the light of its original signifi-
canoe within the orbit of Jewish
history. AS Jewish literature the
books of the Apocrypha are part
of the spiritual essence of Juda-
ism. It is the task of Jewish scho-
larship to redeem our disinherit-
ed treasures. The considerations
that were operative more than
two thousand years ago to ban
these books are no longer valid
today. On the contrary, ours is
the opportunity and the chal-
lenge to enrich the content and
understanding of Judaism and
also to illuminate important as
poets of Christian thought rooted
in the literary and historic milieu
of the Apocrypha.
