ies, Dr. Babb says the lee side of a windbreak near the house is a most excellent place to start a nice fruit hedge. Currants, goose berries, raspberries, high bush cranberries and strawberries are pretty nice picking in well planned planting. They grow best in such sheltered spots as behind windbreaks. Better get the "old man" to planting trees.

The Palmer Soil Conservation Sub-district is holding its annual election this week. Two Super visor positions are open. Candi- dates are Johan Johnson, Howard EStelle, Victor Falk Jr, and Clar- ence Hoffman. The Supervisors of the Sub-district direct the policies and supervise the agen- cies doing conservation work in the area. The ballot is at the Ex- tension office. Every land occu- pier of three or more acres is en- titled and requested to vote. Your choice of candidates is free. That's more than you can say for a lot of this old world. How about 1t?
 The Palmer Sub-district will hold a windbreak planting dem- onstration on the Irwin-Albrecht place on Bailey Hill on Friday, May 16 at 2. We were looking for a place where the value Of a Windbreak planting would be quite evident. I think we got 1t.
 The Sub-district has also re- ceived a small number of Rus sian mulberry, Sitka spruce, Colorado Blue spruce, hybrid poplar and Yellow Golden will low. These will be distributed at that time also. These are being furnished to check their survival under Alaskan conditions.
 A number of native spruce and birch seedlings will also be available for those desiring to start plantings. Incidentally, lad

First Train Ride
Special Dispatch to The Stur

HAGERSTOWN, Nov. 22.-
Delegate Howard Ankeney of
Washington County. chairman of
the Aviation, Roads and Trans
portation Committee of the Mary
land Legislature, has taken his
first train ride.
Mr.. Ankeney, who will be so
on his next birthday, lost a leg
when he was run over by a train.
He was IL years old then but he
said the mishap did not cause
him to have an aversion to trains
because I grew up along the
Western Maryland Railway
tracks,"
The legislator rode in the en-
CINE cab of Western Maryland
passenger Train No. 3 recently
from Hagerstown to Cumberland
as a guest of the railroad.
He described the route up the
Potomac Valley as having un-
surpassed scenic beauty.
He told railroad officials after
the trip that he does not blame
them for wanting to discontinue
their passenger service in view of
the fact that there were only two
paying passengers on the 87-mile
trip.
Asked why he had never taken
a train ride before, Mr.. Ankeney
said "the occasion or opportunity
just never presented iself."

Dying if Segregation Is Ended

Tins. The compulsory attendance
law would either be repealed or
become a nullity in actual prac-
tice. Tax supported school bus

Intimating that the State would
not cooperate with an order to
integrate the school system, Mr..
Almond said, mo power under the
sun could compel a legislative
body, State or local, to appropri-
ate funds or levy taxes against the

Mr.. Almond, possible candi-

any competent and ambitious
Negro boy or girl can secure as
fine an education in the public
schools of Virginia as can be had
anywhere in America" In the
process of improving the States
Negro schools. he noted that more
money is being spent in proportion
for these facilities than for white
schools.
IF it is an education for his
child which the Negro seeks, he is
entitled to and will receive it
without discrimination" MI. AL
mond said. IF it is complete ra-
cial integration of public school
facilities and amalgamation of the
races which he seeks, he will not
attain his objective, and in his
misguided effort he risks the
destruction of the best of both

Tenants were receiving notices
today that the management did
not know when heat and hot water
could be restored.
Workmen from the r. T. Frank
Electrical Co. of Washington, who
arrived on the scene this morning
said principal damage was caused
to the main distribution panels
that control operation of the boil
ers. They said they believed that
damage could be repaired by to-
night, but they suspected the boil
ers also may have been damaged
No one was injured during the
cave in. which may have been
caused by rains which soaked
into the earth around the wall.
Wesley Wright, of 1922 Abing-
don drive. a car inspector for the
r. F. & P. Railroad, said hot water
and heat had been restored to the
apartment unit only since the

Women Police
Two Commissioners
Favor Request for
Special School Petrol

AAS EAAACC IcOISGS NOuQCy
Commissioners are considering the
hiring of women police to patrol
school crossings.
That was indicated yesterday
in statements by two Of the five
commissioners meeting in Hyatts-
willie.
Commenting on a request by a
delegation from Ager Road Ele-
mentary School that more help
be given to children crossing Ager
road, Commissioner w. Everett
Marion declared:
"I would certainly entertain a
proposal that policewomen be
hired to help in these dangerous
school crossing situations.
Mr.. Marion said he thought the
subject should be considered in
drawing up next years county
budget.
No Afternoon Guards.
Commissioner Daniel Abbott
agreed with Mr.. Marion and told
the delegation. We're in recep-
tive mood" He said the hiring
of women police guards was inevi-
table.
At present about a dozen county
police officers are assigned to
school crossing duty in the morn
lings, but the department claims
it cannot spare men for such work
in the afternoons.
In addition, some town police
patrol school crossings within their
incorporated limits and two OF
them, Hyattsville and Bladens-
burg, have hired women police
men.
Drive-in Battle Avoided.
A major zoning battle before
the commissioners yesterday was
avoided when attorneys for Sid
ney Lust. owner of a chain of
Washington area movie theaterS,
withdrew an application for a
drive-in theater on Landover road
in Kentland.
Representatives of the Kentland
Citizens Association, armed with
petitions signed by 500 protestants
were prepared to oppose the ap-
plication to convert the 15-acre
tract from residential to heavy
commercial. Thomas S. Gwynn,
jr., assistant superintendent of
county schools and the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission also were pre-
pared to fight the application.
