honored two August bride-elects
at an informal party at the Ard
rey home on West Center Street,

Amanda, and their families, and
a few of their most intimate
friends, to just drop in and spend

freshments were served instead
from the handsomely decorated
dining table by Miss Beth Hartley
and Miss Gloria Hume.
Lighting the artistically ar

was a crystal candelabrum at
either end that held white cathed-
raj candles. The color scheme of
pink and blue, was carried out
in the individual cakes and other
confections that were served the
sixty guests attending.

Educational ~ Plan
For Schools Hit by
Faulkner as Waste

educational televiSion station in
the District would be waste of
public money on a fantasy"
Robert R. Faulkner, Board of
Education member, declared last
night.
The money could be used bet
ter to provide more teachers
and classrooms, he said. Mr..
Faulkner also expressed his dis
approval Of a Government-oper-
ated television channel.
He said the same principles
that oppose a Government
owned newspaper also apply to
the idea Of a Federal educational
televiSion station.
The School Board member ex-
planned that one local television
station now is providing a half
hour daily program to students
free of charge, but at a cost Of
about $3.50 a day to itself. He
said he feels the free half hour
period could be extended If it
were requested.
Estimates Cost.
Mr.. Faulkner estimated the
cost Of erecting educational tele-
vision facilities at $780, 900 and
that at least 100000 annually
would be required to operate
the station.
In addressing his remarks to
the Anacostia Citizens Associa-
ton, Mr.. Faulkner said the pro-
posed educational channel would
operate on ultra high frequency
(UHFD. Most TV sets are not
now equipped for UHF, he
pointed out. and would have to
be altered at cost between $40
and $50 per set, he said.
Emphasizing the cost of an
educational channel, he said sets
would have to be purchased for
some 1000 classrooms at a cost
of about $3.50 per set. Money
would have to be allocated to
keep these sets in good working
order, he added.
Included in Bill.
The House Appropriation sub
committee in charge of the Dis
trict supply bill now has before
1t a supplemental appropriation
from President Eisenhower of
$1.184 ,000,which includes $400,-
600 for the construction and op-
Grafton of an educational tele-
vision station.
Discussing other school mat
terS, Mr.. Faulkner said he was
very favorably impressed with
the interest citizens show in their
schools and the public school
system.
He said he hoped chat, at to-
days board meeting, some action
would be taken on his proposal
to permit citizens to appear be-
fore the board prior to the en-
actment of any schol changes.
This would promote a closer and
needed cooperation between
residents and the school board
he said.
Mr.. Faulkner said the approx
imately $400, 900 spent for teach
ers annually to provide five hours
a week of physical education is
an expense that could be cut.
He said he hopes that cadet
uniforms in all schools someday
will be alike. He was told, he
said, that Anacostia High School
has a revolving fund with which
to help supply the colorful uni
forms to it's cadets. The uni
forms, he said, cost about $40
each.
After Mr.. Faulkners departure,
the association voted to recon-
mend his re-appointment to the
School Board and to oppose a
Government-owned educational
television or radio station.

later, Cardinal owner Augustus
Busch ordered Eddie Stanky to
put the Cardinal youth move
ment into action. In a week
end series against the Cincin-
natl Redlegs, Dick singled two
runs over in the first game
and in the third contest wal
loped a home run. He got
another one against the Giants
last Wednesday.
Dick stands only five feet,
nine inches and weighs $50
pounds. But in the Illinois AM
erican Baseball Congress SEN
ior Tournament. Dick, then on

scouts became firmly convinced
that Dicks throwing arm, speed
and power made him a major
league prospect.
According to his father, IA
out of the is major league clubs

never made definite offers were
the Redlegs and the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
Ducky has some regrets that
the bonus rule requires Dick
to start out in major league
competition within two years.
