Mrs. Strausburger, did you
say once that you'd be glad to
be Of help # you could?" She
answered, That's right" We
discussed the lack of Music in
our Christiansted High
School, with exception Of
choral work which is done by
Mr.. James O'Neal Henderson.
Then and there we planned
for music LESSONS. A few days
later, Mrs. Strausburger stood
before our entire senior divi-
sion of the high school teach
ing her first lession in rhythm
to our students. Every eye was
on her and each student beat
time. It was amazing to see the
keen interest on the part Of
the pupils.
All Of US learned a great
deal that day, which was the
beginning Of what we hope to
continue; that is, Music as a
definite part of our high school
curriculum.
Mrs. Strausburger will give
lessons twice weekly: While
she does not desire publicity,
it is only fair for our eommu-
nifty to know that she is not
on salary nor does she get pay
for transportation between her
home in Frederiksted and our
school in Christiansted.
The Department Of Educa-
ton IS extremely fortunate il
having an outstanding musi-
clan connected with our school
We are also very
grateful for her generosity.

One of the most dangerous crack-up times
is that of retirement. If the person has not

party which would truly place the
South in line with the balance of
the country and give many North
ern and Western people an oppor-
tunity of sharing with the South
ern population their sameness of
opinions.
While we have, with General
Eisenhower and Governor Steven
son, two Americans of outstanding
abilities it is still fact that, as
pointed out in this column previous
ly, there is so much likeness of
views between tie candidates and
so little real differences in the two
platforms that many voters are
experiencing great difficulty in a
selection. And it is the voter who
looks farther ahead than Novem-
Der, 1852 who should turn the tide
in this election. We must elect Ell
Their the General or the Governor
this year. After this election
many people will be glad to look
to Col. Mccormick for strong lead
ershipj in the formation of a party
which will permit a clear-cut divi-
sion.
AS lifelong Democrat l find it
more than difficult to reconcile
such great differences as: the very
conservative South going along
with political platform to w ich
they are opposed on major issues
and which was adopted by a group
of delegates many of whom wanted
to deny them representation at a
Democratic convention; friends of
many years swallowing deep root
ed convictions and shouting loud
ly for "the party" when l know
that nothing except party regulari-
ty dictates their stand; as the ac-
ceptance of the declaration in the
party's platform which are entire
ly opposite to their personal con-
victions; the utter disregard of the
American tradition against centra-
lization of power. All of this con-
fusion and more gives our Ameri-
can voters pause for careful an
alysis of the declaration of the
candidates themselves.
This years election is one which
will determine whether a serious
effort should be made to organize
a third party. 1t is unfortunate
that voters are obliged to accept
so much to which they are opposed
in order to follow the party of his
or her choice. This applies as
well to the Republicans as to the
Democrats.

winds up to 125 miles an hour?
Orthodox ways would have beer
too expensive. The bridge coule
never have been built.
Mai. Allan had developed an
other technique for anchorins
piers to support the bridge.
Dredgers scooped out holes /;
feet deep on the bottom. Tenn.
porary piles were driven down. Or
top Of them was fastened a thicl
wooden flooring. Through hole.
in the flooring great steel pile:
were driven into the bottom, dowr
to strata of stable sand.
The steel pilings are like girders
II" shaped. Pile drivers with ar
18-ton thump hammered them a:
much as 113 feet down into the
bottom of the Bay-as deep as 9
nine or 10 story building is high
The piles reached down as much
as 203 feet below the surface. Some
were driven straight down. others
at angles.
Huge Concrete Pillars.
The wooden floor mats then be-
came the bottom form for concrete
pillars resting on and interlocked
with the tops of the pilings.
Great. hollow steel cans with
bell bottoms-some of them were
SO big they looked like steel plant
blast furnaces-were set down on
the floor mats. Giant floating
concrete mixers filled them with a
special cement mix. It displaced
the water inside the cans and
hardened into solid shafts of stone
They were supported and locked
on the bottom by the steel pilings
and reached up out of the water,

support the bridge.
It cost about $38 million to build
the bridge itself. the rest Of the
money going for finance charges,
approach highways, toll-collecting
booths, and such. About SIT mil
lion, not quite half the construc-
ton cost, went into the building
|of the part that is below the water
line and will never be seen.
HerSchel Aliens other idea on
which the bridge is built has to dc
with financing.
Back in the 1930s he conceived
what is now known as Maryland's s
primary bridge system. The State
he proposed. should build -four
major water crossings.
Apart from its underpinnings
the bay bridge is unusual because
of the way Bethlehem Steel Corp
put it up.
Ordinarily, you get up a pier
attach a piece of steel and get II
all braced against the pier. Then
you go out on the first piece OF
steel and attach the second, then
get out on the second to attach
the third. It works something like
"a bucket brigade. Only the men
on the end of the line accom-
plish much.
Floated Into Position.
The bay bridge was built In
big sections just off shore. Hun
dreds of men at a time could get
at the work this way. Some OF
the sections were even put to-
gether up in Baltimore.
When they were ready, big
barges were eased under them
The barges were weighed down
with water. The water was
pumped out and the barges lifted
the sections up. Tugs hooked on
