Valentines! Pictures and film
strips of Lincoln! Pictures of
Famous Negroes! All of these are
in evidence at Liberty City Ele-
mentary School this week.
The Brownies of Troop 366,
under the leadership of Miss Elry
Taylor and Mrs. Nancy Collins,
made valentines, beautiful ones
Of lace and hearts, to give to
their loved ones. This same
troop is celebrating their first an
niversary this week with a pro-
gram and a party.
Beautiful valentines of red,
decorated with plenty of gold
and silver tinsel, were made by
the Gray boys. Most of them
were made with thoughts of
Mother and Father in mind.
The girls of Scout Troop 200
held their weekly meeting on the
9th, at which time the following
scouts were elected as officers:
June Williams, president; Their
eSa Gibson, vice president; Mae
ola Ellis, secretary; Glorida

Sconiers was elected to serve on
the county wide planning COM
mittee. Retiring officers are:
Patricia Sconiers, president
Theresa Gibson, vice president;
Shirley Powell, secretary and
Shirley Bowleg, chaplain.
Some 80 children have had
their voices recorded on the wire
recorder. This has been in an at
tempt to find the very best voices
in the school, for speaking parts,
for radio program. The COM
mittee in charge of the activity
is composed of Mrs. Bertha
Sharpe, chairman, Mrs. Robin
son, Miss Wilson, Mrs. Johnson,
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Hall, Mrs.
Thomas, Miss Smith, Mrs. Russell,
Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Stewart.
It has been an interesting ex-
pereince and for the teacher who

well modulated voices have been
selected. The names of the child
rem with these voices will be
named later.

fiscal officers, we prepare an
estimate of anticipated rev
enue from existing or new tax
sources. And finally comes the
major executive job of fitting
the pattern of expenditures
into a coordinated budgetary
plan to come within the esti-
mated receipts.
When these estimates go to
the Councils, the Municipal
Committees are charged with
the responsibility of close ex-
animation & study, including
discussions with department
heads, so that the legislative
branch of the government
be fully informed Of
every budget proposal and the
need therefor. Inevitably, the
members Of the Municipal
Committee will have changes
to propose, and again these
must be fitted into a general

be expected. And all this time

Restoration Of Agricultural
Appropriation
We have had the good news
from Washington that Senator
Allen j. Ellender of Louisiana
has had the appropriation for
the agricultural station put
back in the Senate Committee.
Senator Ellender is the Chair
man of the Senate Committee
on Agriculture, and has all
ways been one Of our staunch
friends. We thank him for this
intercession in our behalf. The
bill, Of course, still has to pass
the Senate and 60 to confer
ence of Senate and House, but
I believe we can count on our
many friends to whom we,
have appealed to hold it for
us.
Power appropriation
We have had no word yet as
to action on our appeal for re-
storation of the power appro-
priatin for ST. Thomas which,
you will recall, was also lost
in the House Of Representa-
tives. / am still hopeful that
we may have it put back in
