Olney church in place of the little
Mt. Zion Chapel built by Father
Dougherty where mass had former
ly been said.
Father Rosensteel altered the
sanctuary, making it smaller in
order to put more pews in the
church, also the gallery which he
made smaller, removed the con-
fessional from the sacristy to the
entrance of the church and added
the little frame vestibule in front.
He was followed by Rev. Joseph
Cunnane whose stay here was
about two years.
Father Cunnane added to the
sacristy the part recently removed,
and put in the little stained glass
window over the altar which he
designed. This was paid for by
Miss Margaret Jones, in memory
Of her brother, Francis Stribling
Jones; the baptismal front was
given at this time by Father Didier,
former pastor.
Rev. Sidney S. Hurburt was next
pastor for few months, followed
by Rev. John B. Gaynor, whose
stay was about two years, after
whom came Father Williams from
1901 to 1904. Father Thomas
Davis Williams put in a gas plant
to light the church, and organized
a league of the Sacred Heart and
Holy Angels Sodality for the
children.
Rev. Philip Bernard Mcclure
was next pastor from 1905 to 1912.
Father MCGUIRE installed a very
satisfactory steam heating plant in
the church, he also bought twelve
additional acres of land to the new
cemetery, and sold the house and
lot formerly used for the school
which had been purchased many
years ago by the trustee of the
Nicholas Brook estate. He spon-
sored the formation of the Gene
terry Association which functioned
d number of years. A sewing
society was also organized in his
time for making altar linens.
Rev. John T. Coolahan succeeded
Father Mcclure and was here
about II years. He built the pres
ent new rectory in 1917 and the
new hall several years later, had
the church refrescoed and the iron
and stone fence constructed on the
front of the church property.
He established a branch of the
National Council for Catholic men
snd organized the present Aid So
ciety during his time New marble
statues of the Blessed Virgin and
st. Joseph, a new altar and rail,
adoring Angel Lights, Sanctuary
Lamp and Holy Water font were
donated by parishioners; stations
of the cross, and electric lights in
stalled in the church by the Aid
Society.
Rev. Charles O'Hara succeeded
Father Coolahan and was here
seven years, made several alter
ations during his stay, rebuilt nv

Washington Bureau of the Asso-
ciated Press, was Miss Barton able
to get a permanent US. organiza-
ton formed to carry out her ideas
for relief in war and in disaster.
In 1881 Clara Barton carried
relief to victims of Johnstown, Pa.
flood. In appreciation, the city
afterwards gave her the lumber
contained in the big barracks she
had built there for flood refugees.
Miss Barton used this lumber to
build big house in Glen Echo.
The house served thereafter many
years both as Clara Barton's home
and as national headquarters of
her organization.
Clara Barton decided the house
to DR.. Julian B. Hubbell who had
helped her with her work. He in
turn willed the property to his
nieces. Mrs. Josephine Noyes, a
Department of Agriculture en-
ploye, had spent the summer as
guest in the old house and was a
great admirer of Miss Barton. She
purchased it and lists her res
idence in the telephone book as
the Clara Barton House. Mrs.
Noycs has attempted to preserve
in the house something of a mu-
scum atmosphere. She has table
given Clara Barton by Princess
Louise of Baden, settee from The
people of France. She is most
proud of the bannet of Clara Bar
tons organization which flew from
the peak of the house.
In Clara Barton House there are
80 rooms. The house inside is like
the steamboats, which at the time
the house was built piled Amer
ica's inland waters. The central
portion is open to a skylighted
roof, with the second-story cham
bers opening into a gallery.

Plaque Erected To Memory
OF Clara Burton> Glen Echo

Volunteer workers from the
Montgomery County Red Cross
Chapter on Monday fastened a
plaque over a doorway in tribute
to woman whose name is known
to comparatively few persons, al
though the national movement
which she founded reaches today
into every American home and into
the heart of every soldier, sailor
and marine. That woman is
Clara Barton.
The house where Miss Barton
lived is on Oxford Road, Glen
Echo, just behind the parking lot
of the Glen Echo Amusement Park.
From there she carried on her
work as founder of the American
Red Gross. Through the years no
official recognition has been ac-
corded to this building which is so
rich in American history, and few
persons know what it stands for.
Dedication exercises on Monday
were headed by L. Howell La
Motto, Chairman of the Chapter.
The plaque reads: "Dedicated to
Clara Barton, the founder and
first volunteer of the American
Red Gross, and to those other volun-
teers who have followed in her
work. May 81, 1951-70th ami
versary of the American Red
Cross. Presented by the Mont
gomery County Chapter, American
Red Cross"
Clara Barton was born in 1921
at New Oxford, Mass. At the age
of 15 she began teaching school
as a recommended cure for her
extreme shyness. A few years
later at Bordentown, Nj, she or
gained the community's first pub
lie school. When the enrolment
climbed to 600, the task became too
much for Miss Barton and her
health broke down. To earn a liv-
ing she went to Washington and
became the governments first
woman clerk, working in the Pat
ent Office.
When Clara Barton heard that
four regiments, sent by Massa-
chusetts in response to Lincoln's
call for men in the Civil War, were
coming to Washington, she met
the trains with supplies she had
bought herself-food, medicine,
soap, towels, handkerchiefs, even
blankets.
At that time there was no or
ganization to relieve the suffering
of wounded on the field. Miss
Barton sent requests to the women
of Massachusetts and country for
medicines and bandages, then by
force of her persistence slashed
through Army red tape to get
supplies to the front. Frederick
burg, Bull Run, Harper's Ferry,
Charleston-these and other battle
grounds saw that small, determined
figure trudging around the wound
ed, feeding the hungry, trying to
prevent unnecessary loss of life.
Clara Barton was IN Europe in
1870 when France and Prussia
went to war, so she helped to bring
relief to Prussian troops and also
distributed to French war suffer-
ers a fund that was raised in
Boston.
But not until May 81, 1881,
when an organizing meeting was
held at her Washington residence
attended by Comptroller of the
Treasury William Lawrence and
W. 7. Phillips, manager of the

WHITE ANSWERS
TuBMAN'S DENUNCIATI0N

NEW YORK, July IL The
rebuke of Walter White, execu-
tive secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, by President
Harold Tubman of Liberia, for
asking facts surrounding charges
of political persecution in Libe-
ria, was called, "ludicrouS" in a
statement released today by the
NAACP official.
On behalf of the NAACP Board
of Directors, Mr.. White had tele-
graphed President Tubman, ask
ing for the facts behind the barr
ing of the name of Mr.. Didhwo
TIVE from the Liberian ballot
and the Imprisonment of twenty
of Mr.. Twe's fellow candidates.
President Tubman replied by
telegraphing to the Liberian Am
baSSador a denunciation of Mr..
White for not sending his inquiry
through diplomatic channels.
"The NAACP's effort to as
certain the truth prior to taking
up the matter with the UN or the
U. S. is rebuffed by a most un-
seemly TRADE which could be in
terpreted by some as an admission
of guilt of the charges of perse-
cution of Mr.. Tive because he
dared challenge the one-party
dictatorial rule of Liberia by Mr..
Tubman's small political clique"
Mr.. White asserted.
Mr.. Tive had asked the United
Nations, of which Liberia is a
member, and the u. S. Depart
ment of State, to send observers

WASHINGTON - The future
for the south's segregated public
schools is heading for a decision
by the United States Suprem court.
When a panel of three federal
judges upheld racial segregation
in the schools last June %, the
vancement of Colored People
National Association for the Ad-
(NAACP) indicated it would
appeal the decision to the supreme
court.
in Charleston, SC, in a case
This decision was handed down
moIJ Ss!TmeJ oISeN OF 40 lqSnoIq
Clarendon county, South Carolina,
against the county school officials.
TEST CASE
The south Carolina case is
being watched as a test of the
manner in which the south has
upheld its "way of life since 1897
when the supreme court ruled
segregation can be practiced only
if equal facilities are provided.
The supreme court has acted
previously in the case of south
ern universities and graduate
schools, ordering them to accept
Negroes, but this time the ele-
mentary and high schools are
involved.
Efforts of the NAACP and al
lied Negro groups to have all
segregation in schools abolished
have brought on. an intensified
drive on the part of ruling circles
in the south to preserve their
traditional ways. South Carolina,
Georgia and Mississippi are
spearheading the drive.
The South's most respected
spokesman is James F. Byrnes,
former United States senator,
supreme court justice and assis-
tant to president Roosevelt and
now governor of South Carolina.
SOUTH FIGHTS
The south's campaign to retain
its racially separated school sys-
tenn is taking these tacks:
Legislative action. Georgia's
latest appropriations bill says
that all school funds are to be
withheld if any Georgia white
school "even under court order
ever admits Negro"
Equal facilities. ByrneS is lead
ing a program to provide facili-
ties in Negro schools equal to
those in White schools.
Officials readily admit facili-
ties for White and Negro pupils
are far from equal today. Since
he was sworn in as governor,
Byrnes has put through $75,-
100000 program designed to
equalize schools.
In Georgia and Mississippi
similar programs are being car
ried out.
Notification. This is little more
than a legal term for ignoring a
supreme court decision.
Gov. Herman Talmadge Of
Georgia is thinking of using the
notification doctrine If needed.
He also has stated, in less legal

istic terms:
I'm opposed to nonsegregated
schools at any level, from COM
mon schools to graduate schools.
We don't want it in Georgia and
we won't have it."
JIMMY BYRNEs SPEAKER
Byrnes has expressed the posi-
ton of more responsible ele-
ments in the south thus:
''It is my belief that supreme
court ruling outlawing segregated
public schools could have an
emotional impact in certain areas
of South Carolina and result in
trouble. I therefore consider it
sound governmental policies at
this time to evolve plan of &C
ton in advance in order to coun-
teract any future hySteria.
at is a serious matter that
calls for study, patience and wise
recognition of the particular
problems of both races. am de-
,termined that the school child
rem of both races shall not be in
jured."
Hath AMENDMENT BIOLATED
The case of the NAACP is based
on the 14th amendment, which
guarantees equal protection of
the laws to all citizens. Specifi-
cally, the NAACP charged that
article II, section 7, of South
Cardinals 1895 constitution vio-
lated the 14th amendment. This
section provides that mo child
of either race shall ever be per-
mitted to attend a school pro-
vided for children of the other
race"

practiced since the 1897 ruling on

FIRST BALLOONISTS.

August is the month of spiders
This is the time to study the Won
derful webs thrown across insect
airways. There are intricate fun
nels, snares, bridges that will amply
repay you to study.
Look about you on a warm, windy
day when you walk across sunny
field or meadow. Spider balloonistS
are making ready to take off. Some
will be taken out to sea, others will
drift to hungry birds, others will
drop into tree tops, shrubs and tall
grass.
Immediately upon landing, the
ballonist salavages his silk then
manufacturers fresh silk for a
snare. It is interesting to observe
the tactics of the takeoff. The
spider, perhaps only a day or so
old, has the urge to move. He
creeps up the lons sturdy stem of
a plant, a fence post or tip of a
shrub, anything handy for take
off.
Turning his back to the prevail
ing breeze, he begins to warm up
his spinerets. From them flow
liquid silk that hardens in contact
with the air. His sharp claws dig
into his platform, holding him firm.
If you look closely you can see the
long streamers Of silk he paid out
on the breeze are pulling so hard it
Is difilculit for him to remain on
his station.
Quick as a flash, he lets go, with
his back to the earth. His feet
grasp some of the guide ropes as
he lifts into the air. He may travel
at high speed, according to the
velocity of the wind. He can make
a landing if he so desires by short
ening the ropes.
OF the hundreds of brothers and
sisters stepping from their egg
shells bright, hot August morning,
no two are likely to take the same
route. Finally coming to a new
home site, the balloonist settles

down. Sooner or later she will ac-
quire a mate who will spin a strong
silk tent in which to deposit her
eggs; she will anchor her basket to
slender stems for the duration of
a year. When the young spiderlings
in the waterproof tent hatch, the
stronger feast on the weaker. The
survivors are independent enough
to make their own way in the void.
Fortunately spiders, can fast for al
long time. The clever ones eat
when hungry and truss up surplus
for future use. Ballooning spiders
are found almost all over the globe,
their method of travel is old. The
traveller has everything in his favor.
