Try to Coordinate
Farm Safety Work

The Maryland Farm Safety
Committee, formed in May at
the many farm organizations
throughout the state, according
to Guy w. Gienger, committee
secretary.
Many farm organizations
throughout Maryland have their
own farm safety programs,
Gienger said, and the idea of
the committee is to coordinate
these programs. He said the
committee is trying to get farm
people more safety conscious.
The committee, the first of its
kind in the state, conducted a
farm safety survey at the annu-
al Rural Women's Short Course
at the University in June. Glen
ger said that while the survey
was important from a statistical
viewpoint, it also served to make
the women more safety con-
scious.
Another survey was conducted
at the Future Farmers of Amer
lea Convention and other sur
veys are planned for All Club
Week and for the state conserva-
ton camp at Bittinger.
National Farm Safety Week
will be observed July 24-30 and
the state committee at its last
meeting discussed the idea of en-
phasizing a week of no accidents
on Maryland farms.
Other officers of the Maryland
Farm Safety Committee are Viii.

Mrs. Carl w. Feucht, Sr., vice
chairman.

! Music Til Down Has
| A Second Birthday
BY HARRY MacARTHUR

A radio program that may
5ust as well be called unique
celebrated birthday yesterday
with the aid of a presidents cj-
tasion from the National Fedora
ton Of Music Clubs. Music Til
Dawn" originated and spon-
sered by American Airlines.
marked its second anniversary
end started it's third year on
WTOP.
There is every evidence of its
increasing rather than dimin-
ishing popularity. II already is
heard in six cities-New York,
Boston, Chicago. San Francisco
and Los Angeles in addition to
Washington-and the deal has
just been consummated to add
Cincinnati's powerful WLW to
the list.
Music Til Dawn" attains its
uniqueness in a number of ways.
It is one radio program known
to a number of televiewers. since
1t has little television COMPETE
ton. Broadcast in several cities,
it still is not a network show,
but a separate local enterprise
in each. The reason for this is
that it has gradually changed in
character to match the audience,
which varies from city to city.
Washington, you will be happy
to. know. is a little more high
brow than some cities where the
program leans a little further
from Beethoven in the direction
Of show tunes.
X r X y
Another definitely different
aspect of Music Til Dawn" is
that it has the lowest pressure
commercials in all broadcasting.
American sees it as a builder Of
good will rather than as a ticket
salesman. AS evidence. it re-
Gently dropped the telephone
number from the local messages
as being out of place. If listen
ing to the program suddenly
should make you want to fly to
Los Angeles, you'll still have to
look up the number.
Roger Fleet, who was known
to radio listeners as Norman
Evans before he took over this
chore, is in something Of a
unique position, too. There are
not many who play records over
the radio. at least, who have but
one sponsor to worry about and
have that sponsor delighted with
the program.
1t is hard for an advertiser
60 measure any direct results
from an undertaking such as
Music Til Dawn" but there
are indications here and there.
People are always coming up to
the window to buy tickets and
thanking American for that fine
music. Some other signs have
been noted, too. An airline en-
ploye has discovered, for in
stance. a cab driver in Chicago
who listens to Music Til Dawn
out there and who politely in
vites any fare who asks him to
turn the radio of to seek other
transportation.

One Of the problems presented
to the committee by the Board

determination of the local at

grafton. There seemed to be no
very satisfactory way Of secur-
ing such a determination of local
attitude except by having public
reaction to a statement of pro-
posed policy issued by the Board
Of Education. The committee
endeavored without success to
avoid any publicity in connection
with its deliberations and tried
to avoid statements to the press.
The members avoided public APP
pearances as members of panels
or speakers on the subject of in
tegration. The report now sub

The following is tert of the
minority report filed By John
r. Reeves, Mrs. Genera Mason,
the Req. J. Ed1Din Prather,
Partlett L. Moore and William
S. PyleS:
There has already been sub
mitted to the Board, the report
of the Advisory Committee on
Indignation in the Public Schools
of Montgomery County. With
most of the report, I am in
agreement; however, with that
part of the report. designated as
-, under recommendations,
must register with the Board
my own views on the subject. I
am unalterably opposed to a
method of integrating only one
grade at a time and prolonging
the process over a period of
twelve years. My reasons are as
follows:
IL believe the plan will be
adminlstratively unavoidable.
2-Such a plan multiplies the
problem over period Of
twelve years. instead of
meeting the issue forcefully
and with reasonable dis
patch, in order to bring about
the desired result.
81 think that this will result,
in many instances, in chill
dren in the same family 60
ing to different schools, and
this. + think, is undesirable.
4-There is necessity for elm
mating present substand-
ard schools at the earliest
practicable date, and such
a method of indignation
would delay, or make very
difficult, the abandonment of
these substandard schools.
Submits Suggestion.
1t is my opinion that it is just
as unavoidable to suppose that
we can accomplish full integra-
ton in September, 1855 in all
schools of Montgomery County.
I therefore suggest to the Board
a way in which I believe inte-
grafton can become effective,
without prolonging the process
unduly. but at the same time,
avoiding any immediate stress
upon the school system, which
would result from immediate in
tegration in all schools in the
fall of 1855. My suggestion is as
follows:
THAT upon the receipt Of ad-
vice from the attorney to the
Board of Education, or from

would keep their present lines,
because of the small proportion
Of colored pupils.
Changes in Up-county Area.
In the up-county area lines
would be revised because of the
larger proportion of colored
pupils and because. under any
indignation program. five subs
standard schools would be aband-'
oned.
These schools, all now housing
colored pupils. are Lincoln Park
Junior High and Takoma Park.
River Road, Linden and Kenger
elementary units.
Colored schools which would
be retained and eventually house
both white and colored pupils
are: Carver High School. Rock
vile; Rock Terrace Elemen-
tary. Rockville: Long View Ele-
mentary, near Gaithersburg, and
Sandy Spring Elementary.
