Named To Board Of
Education Writers At
Atlantic City Meeting

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE ma
TONS schools have "deteriorated
from a national scandal to ma
tional tragedy" Clio President
Walter Reuther, told 10000 dele
gates to the annual convention of
the American Association of School
Administrators here last week.
Reuther, who assumed leader
ship of the Congress of Industrial
Organizations in this city last
year, declared that 'if we can af-
ford billions for war, we can also
afford to meet the cost of an ade-
quate school system" He deplored
school conditions by pointing out:
Clio members work in modern
well-equipped defense plants, while
the children of these workers "are
forced in too many communities to
go to schools that are out-dated,
or overcrowded or understaffed or
makeshift or obsolete"
Pledging the support of labor to
improve the schools of the nation,
the CIO president continued to de-
mand the protection of freedom of
thought in our institutions of ed
ucation. He violently attacked
those forces which would hamper
the schools and infringe upon basic
civil liberties.

Covered Bridges
By Hundreds

QUEBEC.-Five of Canada S
10 provinces have covered bridges
in use today, but they are plenti-
full only in New Brunswick and
Quebec. Each has more than 300
of these reminders of a romantic
past. New Brunswick still builds
one or two new covered bridges
a year, and claims more of them
than any other province or state.
The Hartland Bridge in New
Brunswick is the longest covered
bridge in the world. nearly 1900
feet. It's nearest rival for length
is covered bridge in Norway
which is 1882 feet long, while
Quebec has one at Cap Chat
measuring Just 1000 feet. The
Hartland Bridge carries the traf-
flc of Route 2, part of the Trans
Canada highway, over the st.
John River few miles above
Fredericton. The original bridge,
built in 1897, was uncovered,
but it was replaced in 1920
by the present covered span.
An unusual feature is it's separate
covered footwalk, built in 1913.
The oldest of Quebec's COW
cred bridges are found in the
eastern townships. One of them,
built in 1885, spans the Coulonge
River at Fort Coulonge. Another
interesting bridge was built in
1861 at the village of Powers
court, crossing the Chateauguay
River. 1t is unusually spacious
among covered bridges; the
curved arched roof is unique.

T ourist Trek
To Cuernuvucu

CUERNAVACA, Mexico.-Her-
nan Cortes started the tourist
trek to Cuernavaca 400 years ago
and there's been no letup since.
The doughty conquistador, who
could have had his pick of any
part of Mexico after he con-
quered the country for the Span
ish crown, chose Cuernavaca for
his summer home. He liked
Cuernavaca's backdrop of blue
mountains, its matchless. climate
and fertile countryside.
People have been going to
Cuernavaca ever since Cortes
turned the Indian village into a
picturesque Spanish colonial town.
Today it is the favorite week end
and vacation resort of Mexico
City's aristocracy. Almost every
tourist debarking in the Mexi-
can capital sooner or later finds
his way there.
Cuernavaca is much easier to
reach than in Cortes' day. A
new highway has cut the driv-
ing time from Mexico City to less
than an hour. The most mex
pensive way to go is group-riding
automobiles called "grutaS" or
"turismos. which leave Mexico
City every half hour. The one
way fare is only 70 United States
cents.
Cuernavaca curls along a horn
shaped ridge from which it got
its name. It's altitude of 5000
feet makes the days mild and the
nights cool enough for a light
blanket. Sprawling over the roll
ing terrain are a series of lovely
villas with swimming pools
country homes of wealthy Mexi-
cans.
Tourists have their choice of
good hotels either in the town
or on the outskirts. The former
are just a stroll from Cuerna-
vaca's famed landmarks: Cortes
Palace. Borda Gardens and the

In a valley in Maryland. with

tack that swimming toward a
shark will divert it. Most divers
have found that swimming away
from a shark will provoke it to
attack.
That seems to explain why
surface swimmers, frightened at
the sight of a dorsal fin and at
tempting to flee, have been at
tackled and bitten.
1t also explains why plane
crash survivors at sea, unable to
flee and forced to fight off sharks
with shouts and splashings and
even pop on a curious shark
nose, have often survived shark
attacks.

the fact that the engagement
Sharpsburg, as the Southern

Robert E. Lees withdrawal of his

started the decline of the South

The trip to Antietam is par

many historians have cited Lees
decision to fight a vastly Supe-

the river at his back, as the most
