What's Happened To
Lost Boundories" Family?

editor Of EBONY. 1.-THE physi-
clans practice, rather than di-
minishing, has increased tremen-
dously. Three of the four Johns
ton children have grown up and
moved away from Keene. The
youngest child, Paul, is away at
school. Two of the Johnston chill
dren, Donald and Anne, married
white mates, while the Oldest
boy, Albert, married a colored
girl. All of the married children
say they are happy and have few
problems because of their race"
Many wondered, after reading
the story and seeing the movie
about the Johnstons, just how
they were going to be accepted
by their neighbors now that they
are taking up life again as Color
ed people. Nothing significant
happened" insists the doctor and
his wife. Nothing, except that
we continued to live as equals in
a town which wears its demo-
cracy like a shining shield"
The doctor, who is a radiologist,
says he has never encountered
race prejudice among patients re-
ferred to him. Although they
have admitted to the world that
they are colored, the Johnstons
still tiptoe across the color lines
whenever the occasion demands
it, reports Miss Murdock. when
they go south they always make
the trip as white people in order
to avoid discrimination"
Many Americans wondered,
too, what about the children, who
have been brought up as whites.

LIBRARY NOTES
HOW TO GET TIME TO
READ A BOOK

(Reprinted from wilson Library
Bulletin, Dec. 1851
You'd have time to read, if you
would:
Eliminate all unnecessary use
of the telephone.
Use the radio and television
only for the very best programs.
Why waste time on something
you don't want to see or hear2
Spend less time watching the
neighbors.
Read during that much-needed
afternoon rest. Keep books with
in reach of your bed and your
favorite chair. A book on your
Office desk will not take any more
minutes than the more usual
distractions.
During waits in the kitchen,
use the daily meditation type of
book, or poems, or any book of
short excerpts,
Try reading one heavy and one
light book at the same time
light for your tired hours, heavy
for your fresh time.
Start the rest of your family
reading by exposing them to
carefully chosen books of especial
appeal to each, so that all of you
lose yourselves and the world
for a part of most evenings.
Every winter read few books
aloud, each member of the fam
lily, including children, taking
turns by chapters. Set aside a
definite time, such as 80 minutes
before the childrens' bedtime.
Take book shopping. When

should be better than the previous
three. In the past three years the
Eagles have compiled record of
6 wins, 8 losses, and 1 tie. Coach
Stellatella and assistant Charles
Williams have been at the helm
since the sport was started back
in 1949. Last year the Eagles had
their best season to date, winning
over Rehoboth, Milton, and Bridge
vile; bowling to Lewes and Havre
de Grace; and tieing with Caesar
Rodney. This will be the Smyrna
boys first meeting with the New
Castle team and at present the
game is rated a toss up, because
of the Eagles unknown quality.
Saint Peters has been on the short
end of its last two games which
gives them a 0-2-0 record for this
year. The only outside competi-
tion that the Eagles have had thus
far in '52 has been scrimmages
with Saint Andrews School and
also with Milford. In these trays
the Eagles have shown much pow
er as they are running a new Of
fense this year. They are using
the Notre Dame Box formation be-
hind balanced line. Coach Stel-
latella feels that the blocking as
signments are too difficult for
school boys with the '@T', and
other more complicated forma-
tions. 1t is very possible that the
lineup for the Eagles may be
changed some, depending greatly
on which team wins the coin toss,
although this lineup is likely. Dick
Scott will occupy the left end spot,
with Bill Denney being at right
end; Bill Vaughn and Kenney
Marsh will be found at left and
