wherever there are different
races going to school both races
should be represented on the
school board.
IT think we are particularly
justified at this time in having
members on the school board.
There definitely will be problems
arising out Of the court ruling
that the present school board
won't be able to answer. We
can give them information about
ourselves which will enable the
school board to discuss the prob

National Gallery Adding 8 Rooms
To Display Mony New Kress Gifts
BY JAMES WALDO FAwCETT

The National Gallery Of Art,
anticipating the 18th anniversary
Of its opening next March IL,
has launched q program Of ex-
pansion In its building at Con-
stitution avenue and Seventh
street NV.
Under the direction of the
architectural firm Of Eggers and
Higgins. New York. i've new
rooms on the main floor are
being constructed to house paint
ings contributed by Samuel H.
and Rush II. Kress, frequent
donors to the gallery.
Contractors also have been at
work on three new rooms on the
ground floors, which have been
brought into one series by pull
ing down intervening walls of
what formerly had been portions
of the Gallery library. It win re-
quire nearly six months to con-
struct and furnish the new
rooms
When completed, these units
will be, in effect. q gallery with
in a gallery-independent Of all
other exhibition spaces Of the
overall structure.
The area will house the world
famous Gustave Dreyfus collec-
tion Of bronzes Of the Renais-
sance epoch. This magnificent
accumulation Of statuettes, med
ais and plaquettes was pur-
chased in 1910 by the Kress
brothers from Sir Joseph Du-
veen, who had acquired it from
the Dreyfus heirs in 1880. It
represents the major enterprise
Of the life Of an eminent con-
noisseur who. between 1870 and
hts death in 1914 was celebrated
throughout Europe for his taste,
skin and critical Judgment.
For Dreyfus Collection
Dreyfus himself also was
noted for absorbing the talents
Of earlier collectors. Many of
his prize acquisitions came from
the cabinets Of the French
painter Charles Timbal, who
brought the best of them from
Italy between 1851 and 1870.
The collection, when bought
by the Kresses, consisted Of
1905 objects. It ranks with the
bronzes Of the Bargello at Flor
ence, the museums of Vienna
and Berlin, the Louvre in Paris
and the Victoria and Albert in
London.
Dreyfus never catalogued his
treasures, but he furnished data |
for several definitive articles
about them written for Les Artes
magazine, Paris, by Jean Cuff
frey. Paul Vitry and CASTOR
Migeon Of the Louvre staff in
1907-8. Seymour de Ricci and
George Francis Hill then made
catalogs in 1881 which are being |
used by Perry B. Cott. assistant
chief curator Of the National
Gallery, In arranging the dis
plays for the new bronzes gal
lery. to be opened March II, 1856.

tions will be installed.

An intensive survey of shop
pers' habits was the deciding
factor in the decision by most
big downtown stores to open
their doors on Saturdays for the
duration of the transit strike.
This Saturday will be the first
day Of the new policy, announced
last week end.
The survey was conducted last
Thursday night. Store officials
took a close look at the night
time shoppers to find which peo-
pie were filling the stores.
If the bulk Of the shoppers
had been working people, stay
ing downtown after Office hours
to make their purchases, the
stores would have concluded
there was not sufficient demand
for q Saturday opening.
Family Shoppers
But they found that the great
majority Of shoppers were fam
lily groups. Furthermore, sales
were very brisk in heavy goods, y
such as furniture, appliances and
rugs The shoppers came in
couples and family groups, OBJ
viously making a special trip
from home, rather than just
stopping in after work.
So the big stores decided.
and many smaller stores fol-
lowed suit-to open on Satur-
days. They reasoned it would
be a convenience for strike
bound housewives who were
marooned at home all week
while their husbands took the
family car to work.
AS a result. the stores expect
this Saturday to be a big shop
ping day.
Other Hours Unchanged
Apart from the Saturday
opening, store hours will remain
unchanged. Store employees who
during the summer get Satur-
day OF will go back on their
regular work schedules-work-
ing q five-day week, with days
of distributed throughout the
week.
Suburban stores win not
change their schedules. Almost
uniformly they have been doing
boom business ever since the
strike started. Some are open
five days a week and some six,
but almost all are open on Sat-
urdays.
When, and If, the strike ends.
stores will 60 back to their reg
ular summer schedule-closed

A two-pronged effort to have
public schools integrated next
fan is under way in Alexandria,
Va.
"A delegation Of colored resi-
dents Is scheduled to ask the

lated by the Alexandria branch

the school board asks that Ne
groes be admitted to George
washington High School and
any other school where colored
residents live in the immediate
vicinity.
MIR. Brown said the NAACP
has not formally Endorsed the
delegation tomorrow night but
"is in sympathy with its aims"
May Bring Suit
MIR. Brown said the petition
will be submitted to the school
board before the new term
opens. If the board fails to say
It will admit Negroes this fall,
the NAACp will Immediately
file a suit in Alexandria Federal
Court to force the issue, Mr..
Brown said.
The citizens group which will
appear tomorrow night also will
demand an increase in the size
Of the seven-member school
board and the appointment Of
negroes 70 the Doaro.
Two colored residents, Mrs.
Edith Turner and the Rev. How
ard Stanton, were nominated
for school board posts but
neither were appointed when
two vacancies were filled last
month.
Mayor Leroy s. Bendheim.

School Committee, said the
Councils policy was to name in
c,lmbents whenever they were

Able served in the French Re-
sistance movement during the

the inactivity of the government
to solve them.

other men,"

Liquor First
Prohibited i'm
.BrOOkeville

Early Montgomery Countians
apparently believed that one de-
terent to juvenile delinquency lay
in removing temptation from the
path of youth.
In 1888, at the suggestion of
Prof. Henry Howard, the trustees
of the Brookville Academy petit
toned the Maryland Legislature
to prohibit the sale of intoxicat.
ing liquors in the vicinity of the
academy.
That same year the request
was granted with the condition
that the prohibition would de-
pend upon the wishes of the peo-
pie in the neighborhood. No one
asked for a repeal of the law.
Allen Bowie Davis, a member
of the board of trustees is quoted

But the Board of County

and He will take 1t away In

Cole Family
Started Town
OF Colesville

The town of Colesville grew
up around a 506-acre tract survey
ed about 1920, called "Beall
Christie. The town was named
for the Cole family, who settled
in the neighborhood very early.
Colonization of this area was
first recorded in 1888, when Hen
ny Darnel had a tract of land
called Girls Portion" surveyed.
1t extended from Rock Creek 3
3/8 miles eastward to o. H. P.
Clark's farm, and included much
of the land now known as Silver
Spring.
The Silver Spring farm and the
Blair estate later covered por-
tons of this tract.
In 1716 a tract of land called
Easy Purchase" was patented.
The Ashton-Sligo turnpike ran
through it from John T. Bakers
farm, below and near Colesville
to the John Hopkins farm, at the
intersection of Columbia Rd.
"BealPs Manor" was granted
to Charles and William Beall in
1920. 1t embraced 1887 acres on
the headWaters of West Point
Branch, a mile north of Coles
vile on the turnpike.
Deer Park containing 682
acres, was surveyed for Archi-
bald Edmonston on Feb. IA, 1920.
This grant includes "Beall Chris
tie" and lay between East Point
and West Point Branches and in
cluded the farm of Julius NARROW
and others.
Adjacent to "Bealrs Manor"
was "Snowden HILL" which cover
ed all the land north of Colesville
to Ashton.
The Old Federal Methodist
Church was established in Coles
vile about 1776, originally within
the bounds of the Spencerville
circuit. In 1880 it was the old
est standing Methodist Episcopal
church in Maryland. 1t has since
been torn down.
This church was supplanted by
the Andrews Methodist Episcopal
Church South in 1868, located at
the western end of ColesWlle.
This building was replaced in
1886 by a brick structure called
Andrews Chapel.
Before the Revolutionary peri
cd there was an old toll house in
Colesville, where tolls from the
Ashton-Sligo turnpike were col
lected. Although the toll house
has been rebuilt several times
since then, part of the original
building still stands.
