Press Helps Wife
To Check on Flyers
Exploits in Korea

Mrs. Gordon F. Blood. wife of
an Air Force lieutenant-colonel in
Korea, is an avid reader of the
lnewspapers-because that's the
only way she can find out about
her husbands military experiences.
Col. Blood, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred E. Blood, 212 Upshur street
NV, writes his wife often enough.
But his letters are mostly about
his fellow-f flyers, life in camp and
how we're keeping pretty busy"
But Air Force public relations
and the newspapers are doing a
better job of keeping Mrs. Blood
Informed. About three weeks ago,
she read in The Star about his
participation in heavy bombing
raid. Today, she read of damage
Ito his F-48 Thunderjet by anti
aircraft fire. He was able to return
to his base, however.
Col. Blood, a native of Wash
|ington, has been an Air Force Off
Ger since 1912. He was graduated
from Mckinley High School and
ATTENDED the University of Mary
land.
While he is in Korea, Mrs. Blood
and their two children, Jane and
Nancy, are living with her parents.

Hearing on Harisonburg
And Front Royal Rate Set
by the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, June 4.-The
State Corporation Commission
has scheduled for hearing July Z
IA request of the Consumers Utili-
ties Company for increased rates
in Harrisonburg and Front Royal
The company, which served COZ
customers in Harrisonburg and 90
in Front Royal, asked rate boosts
on grounds that existing rates dc
not provide sufficient return on
investment.
In its petition, the company
said losses in the IL months end
ed March 81. amounted to $4,00a
in Harrisonburg and $3.50 in Front
Royal for gas service operations.
Among requested changes is an
increase from $1.10 to So a month
for the first 500 cubic feet in the
Harrisonburg area and from $1.5O
for the first 500 cubic feet in The
Front Royal area.
The company estimated the in
creases would mean approximate
ly $4,000 additional operating rev.
enue annually.

Mrs. Douglas Appeal!
For Better Treatment
|0f Migrant Labor

Mrs. Helen Gahagan Douglas.
former member of the House,
sought yesterday to appeal to the
conscience through the stomach,
in addressing the National Con-
sumner Leagues Conference on
Migrant Labor in the Willard
Hotel.
1--WE should realize" she said,
"that having fresh strawberries
here in Washington and green
vegetables the year around is
made possible by more than /
million men, women and children
migrant laborers. We should see
to it that their condition is i'm
proved so that we can sit down at
the table and enjoy this food in
good conscience"
Mrs. Douglas made a round-trip
flight from New York to address
the conference, after the Monday
night opening of First Lady, in
which she plays the lead. She was
IA star of stage and screen before
her election to Congress.
She said Congress should be
impressed with the fact that mi
grant labor is not a fringe issue"
and that the bill to establish a
Federal committee on migrant
labor should be passed in this
session.
DR.. Galen Jones of the Federal
Office of Education told the con-
ference the problem of the edu-
cation Of migrant workers chill
dren is interstate in character and
is frequently permitted to go UNI
met because the children are
thought of as belonging to an
other State.
Migrant children" DR.. Jones
said, have the lowest educational
attachments of any group in the
Nation. They enter school later,
attend fewer days, show the great
est retardation. achieve the least
progress, drop out of school earli-
est and constitute the largest
single reservoir Of the illiterate."
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1952-12-11

he was some fifty years younger
when he attended the school.
Then came Rev. David Petre. He
first characterized his school days at
Paradise by saying that anyone who
had seen him then would never
have suspected any "MinisteriaI'
qualities. Called to the front of the
room during his school days, he took
along his ruler, and as he passed the
row of scholars he gave each one a
cracker" saying: mot the kind out
of boxes" and once at the front of
the room, received one of the same
kind from the teacher. He said he
used to get zone a day" Reverend
Petre still has his first examination
paper, with a big first graders
scrawled 1888" on it.
One of his teachers was Jesse Bit
Ter, who warned the boys they should
not try to pen him out of the
school" Of course, the boys took
up the challenge, and did just that.
The big ones engineered the job:
shutters were nailed shut and the
door wedged with a long bench.
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1952-12-11

Reverend Petre says it was dark as
dungeon" as the irate teacher
stormed around outside and prom
ised each boy whipping. But he
did not get in till he had promised
each one treat instead. They got
their treats, small boxes of candy
this was back in 189O-and Rev
erend Petre had his treat till just
few years ago, when silverfish fin
ished it up.
Rev Petre also told of some severe
winter weather when, with the old
building not so tight, they would sit
with one hand over the ear near the
window, to keep it from freezing,
while the boys near the stove got
the "soap grease cooked out of
them"
The teachers in his days taught
one thing, if no more. That was to
play fair. He claims there were no
juvenile delinquents in those days.
He believes that today there is too
much of the attitude of: eff you can
get away with it, try it," You were
not so apt to get away with it when
there was a real man with one of
these (here he whacked the desk
with the old hickory stick. Reverend
Petre concluded: Lets raise the old
people better, and I believe the chill
dren will be better"
