chance at Harris School last night
when tots from Mrs. Huddleston's
second grade presented I'VE Make
the Flag" a play written by Eve
lyn L. Bull for American Educa-
ton Week during the Harris PTA
meeting.
The small fry actors and actress
es gave a smooth performance
with a great deal Of poise and ap-
lomp.
The play emphasized how actual
situations that arise during the
school day can be used to build
good citizenship, and how the ac-
tions of citizens reflect on the Flag
of our country.
The program was planned by the
teachers with Mrs. Walt Chwalik
as chairman.
Her committee displayed several
very interesting posters on Build
ing Effective Citizenship" in the
auditorium. Mrs. Huddleston's
room mothers decorated the audi
torium to carry out the theme Of
American Educa Week.
The meeting was called to or.
der by Mrs. Annie Ulchar, vice
president, in the absence OF the
president, Mrs. Doris Edwards.

try to q junction 1877 miles

Project for 1854
The project, Mr.. Longnecker
added, repeatedly will be carried
out in 1854 at a cost of 80 mil
lion pesos ($3, ,488, ,372).
The highway, chipping the dis
tance between the border and
Mexico City to 636 miles. would
be a key link in spectacular
route that is expected to attract
thousands of travellers between
the United States and Mexico
each year.
The route will swing of shore
at Corpus Christi to the north
end of Texas Padre Island, run
the full length of the 110-mile
island to the Padre Beach re-
sort area, then swing back to
the mainland and southwark
through the Brownsville port of

The south end of the island
also is the scene of a huge
public park program by Cameron
County and the multimillion-

The northern tip of Padre was
linked to the Corpus Christi area
by a causeway constructed in
1850.

Originated during wartime,
the tax was then known as a

measure. Remember when it
was patriotic not to make that
tripD And, according to testi-
mony presented last summer at
congressional hearings on repeal.
the tax has been keeping people
off the trains in droveS through
years of peace
Railroad men in particular
stressed the point that it is
forcing vacation and business
travellers into private auto
mobiles, jamming inadequate
highways, wearing out the
Nations traffic arteries and in
creasing the Governments ex-
penditures in Federal aid to
roads.
Serious implications
Those are only a few of the
reasons the railroads advance
for outright repeal of the tax.
It has even more serious implica-
tions. they say. Passenger mile
age has declined to a point that
revenue losses are sapping the
strength of many railroads that
still strive to get the business.

Blue Plains Unseereeoted

I was appalled, at Alice K. Helms
recent letter taking The Star Pictorial
Magazine to task for allegedly staging"
a picture to give the impression that
Blue Plains is an integrated institution.
I hasten to answer Mrs. Helms letter
and endeavor to correct the false i'm
preston it might have given to District
residents who do not make frequent
visits to and work for Blue Plains.
AS member of the Womens Alliance
of All Souls Unitarian Church, which Is
definately not segregated, we of this
group would be more alert in observing
inequality than other groups which are
segregated. Over a period of 10 years
I have never noticed any attempt on
the part of the superintendent or the
personnel at Blue Plains to separate
the aged and infirm except for reasons
of medical disorders.
I heartily congratulate The Star in
depicting the scene at Blue Plains
honestly and without establishment. as
I have observed it many times. The
homes beautiful new building is
