SCHOOL NEWS
By OLAF HALVERSON

1He ulSH SCIlOOI DOyS WnO par ticipated in the National Guard maneuvers in Anchorage have now returned. They report an in teresting and profitable time dur ing their intensive training.
 Many of the boys met several former Nome residents who were eager to send their greetings to friends in Nome. Among the peo- pie the boys met in Anchorage was former chief Huxley of Marks Air Force Base. MT. Huxley took numerous and excellent movies during his sojourn at Nome and showed these to the boys. He sent along a short reel of the basket ball tournament taken in Anchor age last year. It was our rare privilege to see our Nome High School play Anchorage.
 Some of the boys we recognized in action were:
 Gilbert Ozenna, Clarence Will oya, Vincent Ahkolik, Issac Lar sen, John Bell, John Hudert, and Lawrence Okpealuk. At the very end we caught glimpse of MT. Hawkinson, who is now teaching in Minnesota.
 A very interesting letter, has been received from one of our former students, Jack Dowd.
 We are all very proud of Jack because he has served sixteen months in Korea and nine months in Japan. He is now visiting with his folks in Seattle, Washington.
 Jack has also been ambitious in furthering his education by opportunities afforded by the Armed Forces.
 An outside reading chart on the bulletin board reveals that John Hurlbert and Starlette Hunt have read the greatest number of Class A books. The students who have read from six to eight books are:
 Carolyn Glavinovich, Beatrice Havercamp, Robert Herman, John Hurlbert, Lola Ost, and Gordon Swanberg.
 The planet Venus, still visible in the morning sky just before dawn in the direction of the ris- ing sun, has been called the twin sister of the earth. It has been so called because of it's size, which approaches closely that of the earth. By spectrum analysis, as- tronomers find considerably more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus than of the earth.

Governor de Castro has
again called for the enact
ment Of legislation to compel
property owners to make con-
nections to the sewer system.
This proposal has been pend
ing TO rmore than a year. One
Of the principal arguments
against it has been that it
would work a serious hard
ship upon some property own
ers who lack the funds to
make the necessary improve
ments. Recently, however, the
Virgin Islands National Bank
has indicated its willingness
to grant loans under liberal
terms, to property owners
who wish to install modern
toilet facilities.
We believe that a serious
effort should be made to have
property owners utilize the
facilities which were installed
at a huge cost BY the Federal
government. We think it I'M
wise, however, to attempt to
include every property within
the scope Of the legislation at
the outset. There is a good.
case for exempting, at least.
temporarily, houses whose va
lue is lower than the cost Of
the improve
ments. Superfieiary houses
should also fall in the same
category, unless the owners
Of the land would be required
to compensate the home own
er 70 rthe improvements if the
latter IS required to vacate the
premises.
a careful study also should
be made in an effort to tie In
this sewer connection pro-
gram to the housing and rede-
velopment program which is
already iii progress. It would
be an absurdity to require
property owners to 60 to the
expense Of making improve

County 10 Close Case
Of Waldorf Boy Who
Shot Drunken Father

Charles County authorities to-
day expect to close the case OF
16-year-old Russell Lee Roberts
who shot and killed his father to
protect his mother.
States Attorney Robert T. Bar
bour said there probably won't
be any charges against the boy
because it appeared that the
Staying was justified. He said
there were a few more details to
check before reaching a final de-
ciSion in the case sometime today.
Was Tenant Farmer.
The father, 41-year-old Lester
Elmer Roberts, was shot to death
Friday night at the tenant farm
house near Waldorf, Md, where
he lived with his wife and II
children.
Russell told police he fired at
his father to defend his mother.
Mrs. Roberts said her husband, in
a drunken rage, had threatened
her with a knife and was choking
her when Russell intervened.
The boy first beat his father
with a baseball bat until it broke.
Mr.. Roberts took a shotgun from
the wall and while he was trying
to load it 14-year-old Lester, jr.,
handed his brother Russell an
other shotgun, police said. Rus
sell fired, hitting his father in the
arm. Mr.. Roberts chased Rus
sell into another room before fall
ing. He bled to death before help
could arrive.
Released Saturday.
Russell was taken into custody
for short time and released Sat-
urday in the custody of Carl Ber-
ry, owner Of the farm where the
Roberts live.
The other Roberts children
range in age from 6 weeks to 19I
years.
