Little League
Season Ends
this Week

For most of Chardon's 100
Little Leaguers the 10 weeks
of hard-ball sponsored by the
Junior Chamber of Commerce
comes to an end this week.
Those teams that gain the play
offs will square away next
week for the championship.
After last weeks contests,
the Giants were sole possessor
of first place, having beaten
the Dodgers 6-5, while the
Claridon White Sox downed
the Munson Red Sox 80. In
the only other game last week
the Yankees lost a close one
to the Indians also by score
of 6-5.
A win by the Red Sox and
one by the White Sox would
result in Sway tie which
would have to be played off
next week before the cham
pionship game.
This weeks top game will
be Thursday night when the
Giants meet the Red Sox in
what could be a preview to
the playoff game since the
Red Sox were the first half
winners.
Other games this week bring
together the Yanks and the
Dodgers and the White Sox and
the Indians.

Record EnroI|ments
Reported in Maryland
And Virginia Schools

Record school enrollments are
reported in both Maryland and
Virginia this year.
Virginia has about 675,O00 chill
dren in its classrooms, and Mary
land 100000, the Associated Press
reported.
p Some Virginia children found
new school buildings waiting for
them. A few rode in new yellow
school buses.
Perhaps most significant, they
went back to teachers who are
much better paid on the average
than they were last year.
Most of the schools opened last
week, though a few opened in
August and a few have yet to
open. In some of the mountain
Gus sections schools open early
because they often have to close
down when winter SHOWS block
the roads. Dickinson County
opened August IL.
The figure $4,000 is an estimate
based on an estimate. State De-
partment of Education officials
do not have accurate figures as
yet on enrolment last year, but
it is estimated at $4,000. The ac-
tual enrolment for 1950-5l was
625.141.
During the past two-year period
more than 100 million dollars in
new buildings have been approved
and some of this is completed.
A great impetus was given to
school construction in Virginia by
the Battle fund of $45 million
appropriated by the legislature in
1850, and by the additional $50
million appropriated this year.
Gov. Battle made the appropria-
ton of State funds to help locali-
ties with school construction, one
of the chief aims Of his admins
tratiop.
The General Assembly this year
also appropriated funds to provide

Maryland Rents Space
For Glasses in Some Areas

BALTIMORE, Sept. 6 R.-
About 100000 Maryland young
sters are in school this fall, a
record turnout which is bulging
overcrowded classrooms. In many
places, particularly the metropoli-
tan areas, additional buildings of
assorted sizes and shapes have
been rented to accommodate the
overflow.
This years total is about $1,000
more than last year.
Despite the severe shortage of
teachers, the State Department of
Education came up with more
than $4,000 to begin the school
year, an increase Of about $500
over last year.
Department officials estimate
383. .699 pupils-122,047 of them
within Baltimore City-are enroll
ing in public schools throughout
the State, from the first through
the 18th grades.
About $4,000 more entered the
parochial schools in the Maryland
diocese, which includes all the
counties except the nine on the
Eastern Shore, in the Delaware
diocese. and Montgomery, Prince
Georges, st. Marys. Charles and
Calvert Counties in southern
Maryland, In the Washington
diocese. These additional counties
probably would bring the total
parochial school total for the
state to $4,000 to $4,000.
The ratio Of teachers and
pupils works out virtually the
same as last year. In 1951-52,
there was an average Of one
teacher to 27.0 students. This
year. there is one for every 26.9

Let's Get Out the Vote

again." said Thomas E. Latimer, a

Mr.. Latimer believes the pri-
