Around Town With
The Editor

Paul Comegys, chairman of ar
rangements for the 34th Annual
Dinner Meeting of the Hagerstown
Chamber of Commerce, announced

For the second straight quarter,
Washington County leads the entire
state in the sale of u. S. Savings
Bonds.
Ellsworth r. Roulette, chairman of
the Washington County Bond Sale
Committee, has been advised by the
u. S. Treasury that for the first
quarter of 1854 Washington Coun-
tians purchase of bonds totalled
$953,861, or 1873 per cent of the
county's quota for the entire year
Under the fine leadership of Will
liam M. British, superintendent OF
Schools for Washington County, and
his staff, the public schools of the
County are leading the way in plan
ning--and putting into execution
many new projects, all aimed at pre-
pairing the students for the day when
their schooling is over and they must
start to make their own way in the
world
The latest of these projects is not
only the biggest, but probably the
first ever undertaken by the students
of any public school.
Under the direction of Clyde E
Bailey, woodwork instructor, the
boys of the Hagerstown High Schoo
Vocational Course, are actually going
to build house in the Long Meadows
development-not just model home
but a regular family home, which
when completed, will be sold to the
highest bidder
A regular contractor completed
the job of excavating the site on Sat
urday and on Tuesday crew of l;
boys, under Mr.. Bailey's supervision
erected their tool shed on the site
after having made it in knockdowI
form at the schools wood shop With
that job completed, they began dig
ging for the footings.
The boys hope to have the sub
flooring in by the end of the presen
school term and tentative plans cal
for the completion of the house by
June 1855
The boys, who expect to do all thu
work, except for such things a
plumbing and wiring, which unde
the law must be put in by licensed
men, will work on the project onl,
during the morning hours, following
roll call in their shop rooms.
In discussing the ambitious pro
gram, Mr.. Bailey emphasized that tn
boys will not try to see how fast the,
can build house, the idea behind tn
project being solely to give them
valuable educational experience.
The political pot is beginning t.
simmer a little, not only in Wash
ington County, but all over the state
Here at home, it looks as if we will
have a real primary election, as Their

First of all may we offer our
congratulations to those hardwork-
ing Seniors who placed in the Sem
ior Scholarship Tests. To Marion
Jenkinson, who ranked first in the
county, we bow our heads in re-
spect for "all those brains" No
kidding though, we think you've
all a right to be proud, from Mar
ion down to the last honorable
mention.
This seems to be the week for
congratulating people. Since Ver-
lie Grouse, Connie Sollars and
Mary K. Dillingham; have been
chosen to represent Mixed Chorus
at the Wilmington Music Festival
in March, our congratulations to
them also!
Tuesday afternoons pep meet
ing was the setting for a skit put
on by the speech class. Written
by our own L.H.S. playwright, Ro-
ger Flannery, it featured lots of
"cap-gun cowboys" and got every
body in high spirits for Tuesday
nights game with billiards. That
was really some game with Lon
don trampling billiards So to 46,
after the Reserves set a fine ex-
ample by winning their game At
81. The Junior High team was not
to be outdone, and finished up
their season by defeating billiards
also.
Friday night finished up the sea-
son for the Raiders, and though
they were defeated by Westerville
67-61. no one can say they didn't
try their best. A lot of effort on
the part of the Reserves paid off
to the tune of a 34-30 score. Now
all that remains is the Tourna-
ments, and the Raiders will try
their skill against Lancaster Saint
Mary's Monday night at Worth

there roofing for London!

Soviet Press Was Slow In Endorsing Red China
On Sentencing OF Americans For Espionage

China's most persistent political
concept is summed up by "yung
yang ia yang" which translates
roughly:
Use barbarians to smite bar
barians."
It dates from ancient times when
all non-C Chinese were barbarians.
The cultured rulers of China quick
ly learned these barbarians could
be used to fight China's battles for
her, against one another. The idea
is found in countless Chinese nov
Is, dramas, operas and folktales,
the kind Red China's boss Mao
Tze-tung was brought UP on.
1t underlies the Chinese attitude
toward all foreign affairs-t0 let
others do the fighting or quarreling
while you sit back and wait for
them to weaken each other. After
that you step in and run things.
The idea naturally involves more
than exploiting antagonisms. 1t
means keeping antagonisms going
so they can be exploited-the old
trick of divide and rule.

It took the Soviet press IL days
to endorse Red China's sentencing
of Is. Americans on spy charges.
Seldom has Moscow waited so
long to back up an action by its
Asian partner.
Moscow could scarcely have
done less without appearing to dis
approve, thus shaking the concpt
of Communist unity around the
world. But there is no assurance it
hasn't been badly shaken, in view
of Russia's theme of promoting
peaceful coexistence' with the
non-C Communist world. The Chinese
action could not have been much
better designed to make Ameri-
cans shy away from the whole
idea.
Why should Peiping, after toot-
ing the coexistence horn at Mos
cows elbow, commit an act max
ing coxistence less likely?
There are probably several an
swers, but an important one lies in
the Chinese political character and
habit of thought.

slDillty that Russia might talk her
United States could move in the
same direction. There also was
tax In Washington of coming to
some arrangement to stabilize
tne Formosa area to lessen war
dangers. In that case Red China S
idea of acquiring Formosa might
De made more remote.
Peiping evidently moved by in
direction. It picked an issue guar
anteed to inflame American public
opinion but unlikly to bring the
United States to the point of war.
Perhaps even more importantly,
It was an issue Peiping could de-
fend in Moscow, if need be, as an
internal Chinese affair.
There are some startling impli-
cations:
l. Peiping shows herself more
interested in promoting East-West
conflict than concord. Perhaps it's
her way of keeping Russia nailed
down as a source of supply.
