Parents Back Plan
For 7 Shifts in School
Al District HEIGHTS

A majority of the approximately
300 parents who met last night
at the District Heights Elementary
School agreed that double shifts
will >be unavoidable.
But Just when the plan will be
put into effect depends on when
school officials can obtain more
teachers.
Supt. of Schools William
Schmidt said today the IL teacher
vacancies in other Prince Georges
County schools must be filled be-
fore the three additional teachers
needed at District Heights are
obtained.
Miss Leila Hardesty. District
Heights principal. explained last
night why double shifts will have
to be set up. She pointed out
classes average 48 pupils per
teacher-far more than the IS
per teacher believed desirable by
educational standards.
Miss Hardesty also told the
parents the school has an enroll
ment of 451 pupils as compared
with 407 last June.
Some of the parents suggested
that the extra children be trans
ported to the Linden Hill Elemen-
tary School. where they claimed
there is enough room. But this
was opposed by other parents.
Other recommendations in
cluded using the auditorium, cafe
terra and storage rooms for classes.
But when the question of double
shifts was put to a vote. a major
ity said they apparently couldn't
be avoided.
In the meantime, however. j. w.
Mcnamara. a member of the
towns Board of Commissioners,
and some of the parents will meet
with the Board of Education to
see whether double shifts can be
avoided next year.

Planning Can Lessen Pupils Plight in Double Shift

Unless you are very lucky par
ent. your child will be going to
school THIS fall in a Washington
area which is "overcrowded."
Perhaps your child is one of
those attending school only half
"a day under what has become
known as the double shift" But
even If your son or daughter goes
to school on normal schedule the
chances are the number of pupils
in the class will far exceed the
size that educators long ago des-
cribed as maximum.
Does that mean your child's
education will suffer?
Miss Nellie Cook, principal of
the Alta Vista Elementary School
in Bethesda, doesn't think so.
Miss Cook believes that with
the cooperation of parents, chill
dren who go to school 3h hours
daily on a double shift learn Just
as much as a child who goes the
normal six hours a day.
Miss Cooks school, located on
Beech road in the Alta Vista SUBJ
division, is beginning it's third sue
cessive year with an enrolment
over capacity. Enrolment today
is about 525. The eight-classroom
school was built for 315.
Only the third and fourth
grades are on double sessions at
Alta Vista, however, thanks to
careful planning and ingenuity on
the part of Miss Cook, her teach
ing staff and the parents.
The schools 1876 kindergarten
pupils only go half days, of course
but that is and has been the prac-
Itice all over Montgomery County
The beginning students also attend
only four days a week on a stag
gered schedule since Alta Vista

Igarten.
One answer to the over-capacity
enrolment at the school was found
Tby converting the general purpose
room into three classrooms. One
classroom was put on the stage,
which could be cut off from the
auditorium by sliding doors. and
the auditorium itself was made
into two more classroomS, separ-

0'Conor 10 Tour
After
Closes
Senator Will Report
To People, but Calls
Trip Non-PoIiticuI
By John v. Homer

Senator O'conor, Democrat, of
Maryland, who comes up for re-
election in 1852, has decided to
make a county-by-coun tour OF
his State Immediately after Con.
gress adjourns.
The Senator announced today
that he plans a personal report
to the people" on his legislative
stand in the past three sessions
of Congress, but he described the
trip as non-political.
Mr.. O'Conor has not formally
his candidacy for re-
election to the Senate, bus it is
a foregone conclusion that he will
run for a second term. He faces
the prospect of serious opposition
in the Democratic Party primary
next spring, however. And if he is
chosen the Democratic nominee,
he still will encounter opposition
from the Republican Party in the
November election, 1852.
SaSscer Urged to Run.
A possible opponent within the
party is Representative Sasscer, of
the 5th congressional district. Mr..
Sasscer is being urged to run for
the Senate by group of promi-
nent Maryland Democrats at odds
with Senator O'Conor. The Rep
resentative has not committed
himself but is reported to be
keenly interested in the possibility
of seeking the nomination.
Senator O'conor said he will
be breaking precedent" in making
the tour Of every county of Mary
land. He described it as lad
mittedly an unusual step" His
office released a statement that
said. in part:
In the Statewide roundup, he
intends to go directly to the people
with his message. He will address
civic and business groups, veter-
ans, labor and educational bodies,
supplementing these talks with
unscheduled discussions with citi-
zens in towns and villages, in
crossroads stores and wherever the
opportunity offers.
Trip To Be Unhurried.
Departing from the whirlwind
variety, usually the type when a
Statewide tour is made, this will
be an unhurried trip, thus Afford
ing the senior Senator an op-
portunity to chat with farmers
and workers. as well as with
housewives and other citizens in
every part of the State"
The statement added that Sena-
tor OConor has undertaken to
obtain an expression of views of
persons throughout Maryland by
sending out Questionnaires period
Iically. He said more than 10000
Icitizens have been queried in this
manner and he reported that "a
large percentage of the people re-
'plieo to the letters"
Senator O'Conor also said he
will make a series of appearances
in Baltimore, addressing civic
clubs PTAs and service groups.
On the tour. the Senator said.
he will discuss such subjects as
National security both from the
angle Of increased military forces
and tnat of Communist inflltra-
ton: Government fiscal policies.
international cooperation for the
of world peace, social
legisla ton and veterans pro-
grams. Other subjects will include

Farmer Gets
Less Of Food Dollar

To what extent is the former
responsible for high food costs?
Apartial answer is given in a
recent report by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture's Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics, which
SAYS the farmers share of each
consumer dollar spent for food
products declined from 81 cents
in April to 40 cents in May and
June.
This is pointed out by market
ing specialists at State College,
who say prices received by farm
ers for food products declined
between mid-April and mid-June,
while marketing charges advanc'
ed.
The other 81 cents of each dol
lar spent for food in May went
to pay marketing agencies for
their services. The farmers share
was largest for meat products
and smallest for grain products,
including bread, flour, and sew
eral other highly processed COM
modities.
The share of the consumer dol
lar received by farmers averaged
48 cents in 1850. The figure has
fluctuated from a apost war low
of 46 cents in June, 1850, to a
high of 81 cents in February and
March of this year.
In May of this year, the farmer
received 81 cents of each dollar
spent for meat, Sc cents of each
dollar spent for poultry and eggs
and 81 cents of each dollar spent
for dairy products. For fruits
and vegetables, however, the
farmers share was only 80 cents
and for grain products it was
only q cents.
The share received by the mar
keting system was 33 cents tol
meat, "a cents for poultry anc
eggs, 46 cents for dairy products
81 cents for fruits and vegetables
and 70 cents for grain products
