Schools Look Out For
Communist Literature

Principals of county schools had
their attention called this week to a
magazine, The New World Review
which had been sent to some Penn
sylvania and Maryland schools and
which possibly could have been sent
to schools in this county.
Declared by r. Bowen Hardesty,
county superintendent, to be of Com
munist origin, he asked the principals
to guard against such material and
its distribution among the pupils and
that any such material found, to be
destroyed without delay. He told them
they could not control Communist
material being mailed into the schools
but could control its distribution
among pupils.
The publication, he said, was for
merly called Soviet Russia Today
and that its editor, Jessica Smith, was
registered as a Communist.
Hardesty said youth in county
schools are being taught American
history in two units called "Ou
American Heritage" both in the ninth
and eleventh grades. Attention is be-
ing given to past events of American
history and also responsibilities in
Democracy. A course in Democracy
is taught in the twelfth grade.
A young PERSONS love for his coun-
try was demonstrated to him as he
Travelled to Baltimore by train on
Sunday. He relates: "A Navy lad sit
ting beside me looked out over the
unpopulatcd mountainous section OF
the county and remarked, My, this is
barren area. Then he turned and said
'Yet'it is America and love America
and all for which it stands He OK
planned further that he had recently
returned from foreign lands"
A recent check-up of Garrett county
schools reveals that every school has
on display at least one United States
flag and in some instances each class.

the ODER act all new employees of the

Natures Children
By LiIion Cox Athey

squatted while she swept her long
neck about to collect more mud
which she added to her slowly
growing mud pie. When the dome-
shaped pile had reached above the
water several inches, she deftly
followed q saucer on the top. Be-
fore she could drop her egg in the
neat pocket, dry weather and hot
winds dried up the pool and nesting
operations were abandoned.
Indications were that the birds
would build nests and raise their
young. The owners OF the tracks
created pool with the right water
level for their permanent feathered
guests. So it happened that in
1886, the fiamingo ladies decided to
build, raise their young and settle
down in Florida. Thirty-six ma
irons constructed reliable nests.
On May "a one egg was laid, later
another was found.
The American fiamingo is known
to breed only In colonies In the
Bahama Islands, Cuba, Haiti, Yu-
catan, Guiana and Peru. After this
they wander in fiocks to Southern
Florida. In most Of the countries
they inhabit- they are considered
excellent food. Great hopes are en-
tertained that fiamingos which visit
Florida will remain to establish
their families instead of taking of
in spring. The colorful birds are
of great beauty and the few fish
taken are Of no consequence. The
birds have legal protection. In
some places they are very tame,
accepting food and admiration as
they strut about on their slender
legs.

FIamingns Retnrn


Over a hundred years ago Audu-
bon tried to convince bird lovers
that flamingos breed in Florida.
Somehow Audubon did not get his
truth across. A haningo matron
on May "a, 1886, proved the great
naturalist to be right. On the top
of mud column in the inclosure
of the Miami Jockey Club, in Hia-
leah Park, f1ocks Of the great scar
let fiamingos move above in the
shallow waters about Cape Sable.
The race track men decided to
add to the attraction of their en-
terprise by bringing in IA flamingos
from Havana in 1881. The birds
enjoyed their visit, but decided after
winter in Southern Florida they
would return home. The track
men then brought in 100 or more
from Cuba and clipped their
wings!
The beautiful pink birds, seen
against fringe of royal palm,
were a great asset. The birds were
fed on boiled rice and shredded
shrimp. On this diet they thrived,
their beautiful scarlet plumage did
not fade to any great extent.
There are two race tracks in the
park. One within the other, be-
tween which there is a depression
so or more feet wide. The fiamin-
gos loved to wade in the red mari
made juicy by heavy rains. In the
spring of 1894 the wading f1amingo
matrons felt great urge to prac-
tice the old family tradition Of mud
building. Soon there was enough
mud collected to form q mound. On

You'll find in the pronunciation
section of dictionaries a discussion
of polarization, "the blending OF

words as: feature. In my column

Feature is pronounced: FEE-cher,
the way we actually say the word.

They are marked to show how the
