BOULDER, Colo, Aug. ga
new explanation of the way the
suns corona gets at least part
OF its terrific heat was reported
today by researchers from the
high altitude observatory at Gil
max. Colo. more than two miles
above sea level in the Rocky
Mountains.
Hot gases pour out of the
whirlpools formed by sunspots
on the solar surface and mix
with the gases forming the cor
ona, DR.. D. E. Billings told the
American Astronomical Society.
The upwelling gases get even
hotter as they spread, DR.. Bill
ingS reported.
This superheating of the out
pouring gases possibly helps to
maintain the relatively high
temperature of the corona, at
least in sunspot regions, DR..
Billings said. but does not nee
esSarily account for the extreme
heat of the corona as a whole.
Particles forming the out
pouring gas emerge at terrific
speed. probably urged along by
the magnetic field of the sun
spot itself. The energy of their
speed apparently is transformed
into heat as they reach the
coronal region. This presumably
explains why they get hotter
rather than cooler as they
spread.
The corona Is thick envelope
of gas. always on the move and
constantly varying in depth and
density. When some of it's dense
portions erupt, they form the
spectacles known as solar flares

proach in dealing with these
nefariouS activities of the FBI,"
comrades are ordered.
The Communist high COM
mand still is functioning, the
document reveals, despite recent
arrests of both above ground
and underground leaders.
The section of the document
of interest to the Senate SUBJ
committee to which it has been
turned over orders Communists
and their friends to refuse to CO.
operate with FBI agents, to ex-
press hatred and contempt to-
ward them and to urge friends

investigation to organize protest
campaigns among churches, the
Negro people. trade-union Or

and women and youth groups.

Structed in the secret directive
to converge on the Justice De.
partment and Congress.
Boycott Proposed.
In demanding that Commu-
nists and their friends refuse to
cooperate with FBI agents, the
party sets forth in detail how
this is to be accomplished.
people should refuse to have
anything to do with the FBI or
in any way cooperate with it.
They should refuse to talk to
them, to answer their questions.
to voluntarily admit them to
their homes, or to enter their
cars or go to their headquar-
ters."
In effect. this extends the
Communist policy of refusing TO
testify before grand juries ana
committees of Congress to ac-
tive, physical resistance to Gov
ernment investigators proolne
attempts against the security OF
the United States. 1t is not
likely that Congress will view
the effort as lawful.
Reason for Going into Open.
The secret Red document re-
quires careful reading. The real
purpose of the Communists IN
coming out into the open against
the FBI is revealed in the docu-
ment by the statement:
lone of the most scandalous
situations is the use to which
FBI agents are put to harass
and abuse and intimidate the
children and wives Of those
seven splendid Communist
leaders who are today hunted
political refugees"
The FBI on Thursday rounded
up two of the political refugees"
including Robert Thompson, a
major figure in the underground.
All seven. instead of being politi-
cal refugees, are fugitives from
justice and all seven, it is reli-
ably understood, will eventually
be captured.
The Communist goal is to har-
ass the FBI sufficiently so that
present underground leaders in
hiding, and those who will be Or
dered underground in the future,
will escape capture.

Martinsburg 10 Note
175th Anniversary
In 4-Day Celebration
By w. H. Shippen
Sfnr Stoff Corrssnondanf

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Aug.
ga community which has
maintained its independence
through eight wars is setting
aside four days to celebrate 200
years of progress.
Although this city received its
official charter ITS years ago, its
history extends back to the wars
waged by the ColonistS and the
British against the French and
Indians.
A review of MartinSburg'S
colorful past, from the Indian
fighters, trappers and frontiers
men to veterans of the Korean
war, will be presented here in
parade, pageantS, folk dances
aSd choruseS.
g, Pageant Depicts Theme.
The whole community will be
represented in program arranged
for Wednesday. Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. The central
theme of Martinsburg's 175th
anniversary celebration will be
presented in a pageant Thursday
and Friday nights.
Responsibility for the produc-
tions was divided among various
groups when the City Council
decided to hold the celebration
in cooperation with the annual
Youth Fair.
The city was named in honor
of Col. Thomas Bryan Martin a
nephew of Thomas Lord Fair
fax, who held the original grant
of land embracing this area.
1t was founded by Adam
Stephen, a physician and friend
of George Washington. who
came to this country from Great
Britain.
The city experienced a boom
in 1843 when the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad completed its
tracks into the community.
Martinsburg was part Of
Virginia at the outbreak of the
Civil War Its prosperous citi-
zens owned many slaves and
were sympathetic to the rebel
lion.
On the other side were ranged
sturdy pioneers of Scotch. Ger
man, Dutch and Welsh origin
They believed all men should be
free and were prepared to fight
for the ideal.
The bitter conflict tore the
community apart. Seven COM
panies of soldiers were raised,
five to fight for the Confederacy
and two for the Union.
The city changed hands in
Vulnerable times, often several
times in a single day. 1t was
important as a rail center and
supply point at the terminus Of
the Shenandoah Valley.
The pageant will present 20
episodes in the community's his
tory, including scenes from the
Spanish American War and both
World Wars.
The celebration will open at 8
pm. Wednesday with a baby
beef show put on by the Future
Farmers of America and the To-
cal All Clubs in the high school
stadium.
On Thursday afternoon the
young farmers will demonstrate
mechanical equipment on a lot
adjoining the stadium. The
pageants are to be staged from
8 to 10 pm. Thursday and Fri
day.
Youths fair prizes will be
awarded Saturday night, fol-
lowed by a style review put on
by girl members of the farm
groups in the high school audi
torium.
Later on Saturday night the
old Martinsburg City Band will
present a concert. The guest
conductor will be w. F. Nc
Aneny, 81, vice president of the
Old National Bank.
The concert will be followed
by a costumed promenade and
square dances in the city square,

of training children would not be
so difficult. Playmates exert a
very powerful influence on young
children. They follow the exam
pie of their little friends much
easier than that Of their parents.
It is important that those with
whom they play be free from OBJ
jectionable traits But, don't be
afraid, if your guidance and
example are good, and your chill
dren have inherited good minds,
they will 60 through anything and
come out on top.
It has been proved that many
children have become delinquents
because they were not trained in
their early years by their own
parents who would have known
what would have bben best for
them. The future of the Virgin
Islands lies in the proper training
of the child which can only be
accomplished if all parents try
their best to train their own. The
community should become Child
conscious" It is also that because
of economic reasons, many pa
rents must leave their young
ones in care of help to go to work
daily or with relatives when they
leave the islands. If it is necessary
for both parents to work, they
must be careful of the kind OF
help they employ, and they
should send adequate financial
support for the children, and
enough interest should be shown
to encourage the person taking
care of them to do so properly.

When possible, children should
be sent to a Kindergarten. There
they will have a chance to meet
other children more or less form
ally at an early age and they will
be better adjusted and more in
telligent when they enter the
first grade. Unfortunately the
public school system does not
operate a Kindergarten, but
there are two in both towns
which give excellent training
both mentally and spiritually.
In order that parents may
know what other expect of their
children, what the school expect
of them, and to allow the discus
sion of mutual problems, it is
suggested t h parents join
groups, which work for the well
fare of children. 1t would also be
a good idea if they attended
adult education classes that dis
cuss children so they may learn
to understand why children act
as they do. It is certain that we
can never hope to eliminate evil
from society, but at least we can
try to minimize it by training our
children to avoid wrong doing
from their early years. If all
children were well-prepared for
school, half of our behavior prob
lens would be excluded. Give
your child proper physical, men
tai, moral and spiritual training
from his pre-school days and fol-
low him through his early growth
and adolescence to better adult
hood.

The Priesthood Child
by Mrs. JUANITA F. Caroline
Assistant Superintendent Of Education
MARCH 5, 1853

How precious are newborn
babies! How eager we look to see
if they are physically perfect and
healthy when they are born! W.
do not know how they will de-
velop physically; however, we
can watch with interest and
amazement how they develop
from one stage to another, until
they walk and talk. At first they
speak quite indistinctly; later,
they can say almost anything.
Isn't it fascinating to watch
babies grow?
But what of their mental de-
velopment? That is not SO evil
dent. We are really never sure of
what kind of mind our children
have inherited until they are
quite grown. We can, however, do
a great deal to influence their
mental growth, both, by example
and training. Children must be
reared. They cannot be left to
grow as weeds. It is during their
preschool days that most of their
habits are formed, also their likes
and dislikes. They must be made
ready to enter school. The home
has the responsibility to send to
the classroom children who are
emotionally stable. They must not
be given to moods, be selfish, be
too aggressive, unusually talka-
tive, or too quiet. They should
mix freely with other children
and join in their games. They
should not cry easily or be subject
to tantrums, be friendly, be able
to follow directions and take care
of their physical needs.
Children should be so trained at
home that corporal punishment
will be rarely or never necessary.
For if that is the only form of
punishment with which they are
familiar, they will respond to no
other at school. They should be
taught to respond to kindness,
and be given a spiritual basis on
which to build discipline. They
should not be brought up to re-
spond to fear only. In the interest
of %abolishing CORPORAL punish
ment, parents should make an eff
fort to use it as little possible on
their young children. Many chill
dren are not affected mentally by
, 1953-03-05

being whipped, others even i'm
prove their conduct; but some are
SO affected that they might even
become insane later. Therefore,
parents, try to train your young
children so that teachers wont
have to waste time and energy
whipping them at school.
Parents, train your children at
an early age to respect authority,
and when they enter school they
will respect their teachers. Teach
them that the rights of others
should be considered and when
they are placed with other chill
dren, they will think of the other
children's rights and not of theirs
alone. Allow your children to play
with other children near their
own age, since they usually think
alike, and are interested in the
same things. With them they can
assert themselves, because they
will understand each other. Above
all, teach them at an early age to
follow the second great COM
mandment, Love your neighbor
as yourself"
It is true that some children
are definitely harder to train than
others, either because of heredity
or environment. But, we, as pa
rents, cannot give up easily. We
must try at all times to steer our
children into the correct channels.
However, we must not hamper
their spiritual or mental growth,
or keep them from developing
along the lines for which they are
most gifted. We cannot give them
talent, but we can nurture it. Do
not forget that each of us has
some talent. We must help our
children to develop theirs from
preschool DAYS. and it will be fur
ther developed in school.
You say, many times you have
doneyour best with your children
at home, and then you have sent
them out with other children and
they developed bad habits. That
may be true, but that is so, be-
cause there are so many parents
that are not taking care of the
proper development of their pre-
school children. If all parents
were conscientious, the problem

Speech, like the clothes we
wear, becomes shabby easily.
Through acquiring new words
the vocabulary grows. becoming
a fine wardrobe with which to
clothe our thoughts. The con-
slant use of poor and made
quate adjectives and adverbs
makes conversation dull. Ignor-
ance of the proper noun or verb
will cause us to become self
conscious, tongue-tied, shy. So,
if we wish to be smartly dressed
on all occasions, it is necessary
that our speech garment be i'm
maculate. A little thought and
effort each day given to the
building of our vocabulary in
creases self-confidence immeas-
urably.
Here are a few new words to
work on this week:

metamorphoun, ito transform.
Syno nyms: transformation;

thyself art in everlasting change
and in corruption to correspond;
