ulty.
In the official statement an
nouncing the close Of the institu-
ton, the principal charged that a
group known as "The Cactus" had
developed among the students.
ats instructions are obeyed by
students, either through fear Of
physical violence and other forms
of intimidation, rather than the
instructions of the constituted au-
thorities of the college," the prin-
cipal asserted.
He also said the students were
trying to enforce their will upon
the college officials and that as a
result, freedom Of opinion at the
college has been destroyed and con-
ditions have become intolerable.
Meanwhile, correspondents in
Johannesburg say that the situa-
ton at the college has resulted
from the dissatisfaction of the stu
dents with the educational policies
of the Nationalist.
With the close of Fort Hare,
higher education for the nations
ten million Negro majority is at
an end for all intent and purposes.
A few Negro students have been
admitted to white universities in
Capetown, johannesburg and Du-
ban, but the practice is not ex-
pected to live long.
While the close of the only Ne
gro college was the most sensa-
tional move in recent weeks in the
drive to cut off native education,
the government has been moving
quietly on other fronts to reduce
the Negroes here to a status of
slavery.
Some 12O teachers in Negro ele-
mentary schools in the Johannes
burg area were fired last week
after native parents boycotted the

Picture the coIors Of Spring In Color

want to be more careful than
usual about the sunniness of the
day. You'll find that the best color
quality is obtained outdoors in
bright or hazy sunlight, with
shadows kept soft yet full of de-
tail.
Your best effect will come from
soft lighting-behind you and full
on the subject - without the
strong contrasts of light and
shade that make for deep harsh
shadows. Let the contrasts Of
color take the place Of contrast
ing light and shade, and look for
simple backgrounds, preferably in
cool colors like blue and green.
Also, remember that your best
time for shooting is after the sun
has been up for several hours or
in the mid afternoon about two
hours before sunset.
With these few words to the
wise, why don't you shoot in color
this spring? Try it, and you'll be
glad It's no longer B.C.-Betore

This is the time of year when
most of us welcome color back to
the world around us. Fresh green
foliage. blossoms in lovely pastel
bouquets. soft blue skies, newly
turned rich earth, mauve-pink
twilight-the children in candy
colored chambray, Mother in gay
new prints-the spring scene
abounds in color for your camera
to catch.
Everyone will agree that color
adds its own magic to almost any
subject-and happily for us full
color film is available for every
type of camera. No longer can it
re considered a luxury item, linn
tied to owners of more elaborate
cameras. With simple box-type

are handsome snapshots to bright

proud glance whenever you feel
like IT.

First Paved Road Connected
City, Georgetown in 1906

Rockville and Georgetown were
connected by the County's first
paved road, chartered in 1906 and
built in 1917.
The Union Turnpike Co. built
the road from Washington to
Brookeville and several branch
roads, beginning in 1919. In 1870,
the hard road through Colesville
to Ashton was begun. All of these
were toll roads, constructed by
private companies.
Two old County roads are still
used in part, called by their orig
inal names. One of these is the
old Baltimore Road, which started
near the mouth of Monocacy and
headed in the general direction of
Baltimore.
River Road, said to have been
partly surveyed by George Wash
ington, was planned to follow the
Potomac from Georgetown TO
Cumberland, crossing the river at
the mouth of Monocacy and con-
tinuing on the Virginia side al
most to Cumberland. The present
River Road leaving Tenleytown
and passing through Potomac is
a part of the original.
