The 1872 Core class Of Northern
High school, at Cove, supervised
by Mr.. Johnson, is conducting a
survey of the class of 1858. The
purpose of the survey is to deter
mine how we'll the school prepares

ing done especially for the use of
Mr. Cobun, Guidance Counselor.
A QUESTIONABLE was prepared by
a committee chosen from the class.
After the addresses of the gradu-
ates were obtained, the question
naires were mailed. Some of the
questions asked of the graduates
concern their present employment,
marital status, curriculum taken in
school, and what subjects are prov
ing most helpful to them now.
They were also asked to furnish
their ideas for improving the way
in which the school prepares its
students for making a living.
When the questionnaires are re-
turned, the class will analyze and
record the answers.

FROM THE
Ruth Enlow Library
BY EDITH BROCK


Mrs. Howard Turner is present
ing a book to the library in memo
ry Of Joseph r. Glotfelty.
Books have been given this week
by Lester Birkheimer, Of Atwater,
Ohio; Mrs. Margaret McLain Will
son, and Mrs. Paul A. Turney.
Among the recent historical
novels are several with a Civil
War setting. Blue Hurricane" by
Van Wyck Mason, is a story of the
great River War" fought in the
Mississippi and its tributaries by
the Union Navy in 1862. This is
the second book in Mr.. Mason's
series on the Civil War. In THE
Gray Captain" Jere Wheelwright
tells the story of single company
of the Second Maryland Infantry
in the Army Of Northern Virginia
i'm 1864. Bruce Cation, whose book,
"A Stiffness at AppomattoX," won
the Pulitzer Prize last year, has
written a novel for young people,
Banners at Shenandoah" a story
of Sheridans fighting cavalry"
Other recent novels based on cpl
sodes in the Civil War are by

Clarksbulrg Also
Hit By Chain
Bond Promotion

One of the latest areas to sue
cumb to the chain bond craze was
Clarksburg, w. Va, where the
city's newspapers gave big dis
play to the incident and the re-
marks of Postmaster General
Arthur f. Summerfield, who de-
clarcd the scheme was in violation
of both the postal lottery and fraud
laws.
He issued a warning against par
ticipating in the scheme after it
was called to his attention. THE
public may believe that this latest
chain scheme does not involve any
violation of postal laws because the
letters or bonds are sold person to
person and do not go through the
mails, but the money does go
through the mail, however, and
therefore violates postal laws
Promoters brought the plan to
the Oakland area several weeks
ago from the South Branch valley
and after furry of a week or ten
days, died down rather swiftly,
but not before bond sales had been
greatly increased at the local
banks.
Under the plan the letters or
bonds were sold person to person
for $18.75 each and the buyer was
required to mail another $l8.75 to
the name on the top Of an l1-name
list. The top name was then re-
moved from the list and the new
participants name was placed at
the bottom of the list. The new
participant then made two copies
of the letter and sold it to two
other people. The amount people
won was dependent upon chance
and according to the ruling, consti-
tutcd the scheme a lottery and the
promises Of huge gain were fraud
ulent.
Prosecutions were reported under
way in the Hagerstown area where
it also had spread from Harrison
burg, Va.

Blasts Unions-PoliCe

The West Virginia Chamber Of
Commerce last week indicated the
MARYLAND administration in that
state, the state labor unions and
police who ignore labor violence
for the states current decline in
population and prosperity
"Inadequate protection Of the
right to work and official indif-
ference to violence" is stag

ment, the Chamber of Commerce
said
1t added failure on the part of
the Legislature to adequately pro-
tect the fundamental right of

in virtual conspiracies" among
the states labor leaders. These
conspiracies cause breach of con
tracts for employment, forcibly
close places of business and en-
courage the formation Of mobs
which prevent public use of the
streets and Sidewalks"
The Chamber of Commerce report
also declared that Heterogeneous
ment collision at both the state
and Federal level" had resulted in
a "monopolistic and ridiculously
unrealistic wage structure for
coal mining" which is responsible
for the decline in the coal industry.
The report also denounced the
state government for "inefficiency,
extravaganza, political chicanery,
ncpotism and corruption"
Repeated well documented and
appalling reports that these evils
prevail in number of state
agencies and departments are fur
thcr detriments to West Virginia S

paper said. These conditions dis
courage prospective investors from

River Group Not
Responsible For
Roads Near Dam

An opinion by the attorney gen
cral Of Maryland declares that the
Upper Potomac River commission
which operates the Savage River
Dam, is not responsible for main
teuance of roads running around
the pool of the dam.
The opinion was handed down by
Edward D. +. Rollins, Just prior
to his leaving office recently. 1t
was issued in answer to a request
Of the commission to study prob

Officials Of the Upper Potomac
River commission said that the
original road ran through the val
ley which is now inundated 10y the
waters of the huge reservoir.
When the dam was built in the late
l93Os the WPA constructed a road
and a number Of small bridges
around the area which would be
occupied by the pool of the dam.
The Allegany County Board of
Commissioners is responsible for
funds to operate and maintain the
dam.
The decision of the attorney
quotes a statute on the dam as fol-
lows: "If the commission in the
exercise of its power as aforesaid,
permanently intcrferes with the
use of any public road or roads and

On the contrary, apparently it
has elected to disregard the facts
and factual denials and continue
to repeat its reckless charges as
though they had been substantial
instead of having been discreditcd.
Thus, it seems that we are going
through the next twenty months
with the Democrats trying,
through sheer noise and repetition,
to make their charges against Mr..
Nixon and the DiXon-Yates affair
stick regardless of the facts. 1t
hardly seems that they can be sue
cessful. One hesitates, Of course,
to disregard the great power of
skillful mass propaganda. Never
theless, to make a case as false as
that against Mr.. Nixon and as ut
terly destitute of honesty as that
against the DiXon-Yates contract
stand up is to concede that truth is
of no avail and the way to succeed
is to bear false witness.

Montgomery County schools
registered 5o,668 pupils yester-
day. The question of whether
there will be relief for oyercrowd-
ed classrooms remained unan-
Iswered.
The figure falls short of the
52.711 which school officials had
estimated would be the enroll

T. H. Owen night. supervisor

the October estimate will prove

not sign UP for classes yesterday
for a variety of other reasons.

He lacked exact figures on the
number of Negroes enrolled in
