There must be many Washingtonians
who will wonder how the District public
schools can get along without at least one
Lind sister. Miss Ida retired a year ago after
SO years Of service, and now Miss Grace is
following her example. Both started at the
bottom of the educational ladder and step
by step achieved top positions in the ele-
mentary department. Each has been
builder of the school system as 1t is in Its
best aspects today.

Miss Ida she is going to Florida shortly for
several months Of needed rest. Then the
two lifelong partners will travel in Europe
for while. Returning home to their resi-
dence here, they expect to keep busy with
volunteer service to the Red Cross and to
dependent children. For recreation they
will continue their reading Of mystery sto-
ries, plus the classics from Dickens up to
Shakespeare. Miss Grace, aided and abetted
By Miss Ida, Is wonderful cook, practicing
the art OF turning ordinary meals into YER
table feasts. Neither Of the sisters ever
will cease to be interested In the schools.

"Why, my dear fellow. 1t is just the

You see, he would have left OF what
genius put In, the perfectly honest
statement:
"It isn't good university"
That's the difference between q fat
head and q leanhead.
The latter must be honest, at all
costs. The farther a man gets, the
more honest he is likely to become.
because he no longer has anything to
hide or cover up.
The young man with the perfect
measurements and the thick head Of
shiny hair has so many limitations to
cover that he seldom stops to believe
that honesty is the best policy. after all.
It Is only when he gets going In
earnest, and puts all his cards on the
table. that he comes to the great point
In his life when he can look around
him without fearing that some one viii
suddenly point to limitation, or
lack, or q plain failure.
This is one Of the few benefits Of age.
Then he can look around his estab-
lishment, whether it be university. or
an institution, or store, and say,
humbly and proudly:
This isn't good -: It's just

Polish Names for Germon Cities

A man who lives nine years under
Communist rule may unconSciously
absorb features Of the Communist line,
even though strongly opposed to the
system.
When Antoni Klimowicz. the escaped
Polish sailor. refers to Polish" ship
yards at Gdynia. "Gdansk" and
"Szczecin he is repeating Communist
political doctrine. do not blame him.
but the editors Of the North American
Newspaper Alliance and The Star
should know enough not to offer this
to their readers without some expla-
nation.
At Teheran and Yalta, Stain insisted
successfully on pushing the Polish pro-
visional boundary far to the west. The
cities OF Danzig ('fGdanSk'O and Stettin
c'Szczecin'o, built and settled by Ger
mans, were placed under Polish adj
ministration. The Polish government.
which. even in 1945 was under Commu-
mist control. expelled the German popu-
lation. forcing American taxpayers to
spend millions for their relief.
Stalin's idea was that by annexing to
Poland part of Germany which was
German for centuries, and much of
which was not even claimed by the
London Polish government during the
war, he could make Poland permanentlv
dependent on the Soviet Union. He
hoped that even nom Communist Poles
would fear German revenge" and
would be forced to accept pro-Soviet
policy.
It is clear that the security of the
United States will require the setting
up Of German armed forces, with or
without EDO. You cannot expect Ger
mans to fight for only part Of their
country. It is quite clear that If the
Germans ever have to fight--this time
as allies of the United States-they will
fight for all Germany, including the
parts under Polish and Soviet admins
tration.
The United States has never recog-
nized the provisional boundary along
the Oder and Neisse Rivers as final.
Official United States maps show the
, area in which Danzig and Stettin are
located as under Polish administra-
ton" At the Potsdam Conference in
1945, the United States, Britain and
even the Soviet Union agreed that the
1887 boundaries of Germany would re-
main legally valid until changed by q
peace treaty. This means that, legally.
Stettin is ins Germany and Danzig is
still free city. There is no doubt.
however, that the citizens of Danzig.
