Dear Mrs. Hanst:

what you had to say in your week
ly column published in The Re
publican" about the basketball
game between Northern and South
ern High Schools played February
% in the Southern High School
gymnasium. My thoughts concern
ing this game coincided with yours
precisely. As ! sat watching the
contest | could not help from
wondering if the people present ap-
preciated what fine sports event
it was. Everything about the game
served to contribute to the tone
and quality of the occasion Two
well coached and spirited teams
took the floor-stands packed with
enthusiastic and loyal followers of
each team, with perhaps as many
adults present as teen-agers-a fine
band, well uniformed which played
in manner rcflecting much
credit upon the instruct0r-a group
of classy maioretteS-a a number
of attractively attired cheerleaders
from each school bubbling over
with enthusiasm. all combined to
make the total scene
Yes, all of these things were
present to an extent which would
rival any school contest of its kind

This leads me to the point of
obvious need for many school i'm
provements throughout the county.
This statement | make in spite of
the fact that a fine effort has been
made by the citizens of Garrett
County in recent years to build two
modern high schools. These two
buildings remain as incOmpleted
structures until an auditorium has
been added to each. BY so cOmplet-
ing these buildings. students and
patrons can have opportunities to
participate not only in athletic con-
tests of high calibre but in many
other events, such as musicals. dra-
matte productions, concerts, con-
tests i'm oratory and public speak
ing and above all the school as
sembly program, all of which are
an essential part of the present
day educational program for youth.
In addition to auditOriums, urgent
needs present themselves nearly
everywhere for the Improvement
of the facilities for elementary chill
dren in the county. While we can
not solve all of our school problems
with money, there is, however, no
way to meet the gross material de-
ficiencies of our schools except
with money.
Some of us are now looking hope
fully to the growing interest on the
part of our United States Senators
and Congressman for Federal Aid
to education. One hundred and one
billion dollars is now talked of as
the amount needed for the road
program. Think of what one-tenth
of such a sum would do for schools.
1t is all a matter of our sense OF
values AS for myself, my vote goes
for the youth of our country. With
the right sort of investment in them
as our greatest natural resource
our roads as well as many other
problems will be dealt with ade-
quately.
Let's have more games with all
that they imply like the one played

If so, he or she doesn't have TO

In either case, regardless of how
much the child earns, the parents may

Morse (D-Ore.) pointed out that FPC
itself has described these quick write
offs as nothing more nor less than
an interest-free loan to a private
utility by the U. S. government"
Morse noted that the write-offs
would mean a 5-year interest-free
loan of $31. 1857 900 from the u. S.
Treasury. He asked the Office of
Defense Mobilization to reject

claims that tax-paying private utili-
ties should be permitted to grab off

consistent, it should deny the write
