SEND A KID TO CAMP
Vocation Just q Dream
As Yet for These Two

Theresa, 8. and Edward. Q.
| live in a tattered one-story house
i besides a thicket Of honeysuckle
on the outskirts of Alexandria.
The honeysuckle smells sweet
in the early summer air. And
the kids love to run through it
chasing bugs and playing hiding
games.
Theresa has an old two-wheel-
er, which she rides quite a bit.
But one of the pedals Is broken.
And Edward is a demon on
shooting marbles. Sometimes
his passion for shooting marbles
can be stopped only by relieving
him of all the marbles in his
possession. his mother says.
Otherwise, he doesn't come to
dinner.
Summer camp? The kids have
never been to one. Do they
want to go? Says the mother,
who has three other smaller
children to look after:
"Lordy me. Edward can't un-
derstand why he can't go the day
after school ends. He don't know
why he has to wait till July. And
Theresa? She just can't hold
still till the time comes. They're
both just after me about it all
the time"
AS it is with most families
whose living costs outstrip their
means, ''luxuries" like summer
vacations for the children get
lost in a cloud of broken dreams.
In this family. the father is a
laborer for a plumbing firm. His
weekly wages are $49-unless the
boss runs out Of jobs. or the
weather is bad or the father gets
sick.
Welfare agencies help. but
their help rarely is able to match
their good intentions. anywhere.
And even if the parents in this
case had been getting closer to
the time when they could afford
to send Theresa and Edward of
to camp, they were set back sew
eral notches a year ago.
At that time. sewer and water
service became available to them.
They were tired Of 10 years of
using an outdoor toilet and go
ing to some one elSe's house for
their water supply. They put
out the necessary money for get
ting these services inside their
own crowded home.
The mother is sensitive about
such things as getting outside
help to provide her family neces-
stiles and those little. all-im.

portant extras like summer camp.
Il don't like to be constantly
asking for something, and I ask
as little as possible" she says.
Sending Theresa and Edward to
The Stars summer camp was
not her idea. A welfare worker
thought it would do them good.
The mothers personal pride
can't be contested. The house
beside the honeysuckle-clad
thicket may be sagging. but the
small grassy plot around it is
neatly clipped, the children who
romp on it are well-disciplined
and there are roses in bloom
everywhere you turn.
You can step In and help
Theresa and Edward get to
camp. through The Evening
Star Summer Camp Fund. For
them. your contribution will be
making a dream come true.

Fairfax Backs
Court Bill Curb
Would Bor Action
To Effect Inteqrution

The Fairfax Board Of County
Supervisors reacted to the Su-
preme Court decision today by
indorsing, 4 to 8, a bill in Con-
gress which would prevent Fed
eral courts from considering or
deciding any matter involving
administration Of State school
systems.
The measure, known as the
Forester bill, is before the
House judiciary Committee. The
supervisors were asked to take
! a stand by Mrs. Cuba Curtice, a
candidate for election to the
board and an outspoken advocate
Of segregation. She said. the
Forester bill would prevent in
tegration from going into effect.
Voting for the resolution were
C. B. Runyon, Stuart DeBell, C.
B. Jett and Maurice Fox. Mr..
Fox said he thought the proposal
came a little late, since the court
had acted, but he said he favors
doing anything reasonable" to
prevent integration.
Recalls Reversal
Against the resolution were G.
Wallace Carper, chairman; Ar
thur Shaffer and Mrs. Anne Will
kins. They said they thought
the board should take more time
to study the motion.
Mr.. Carper recalled that once
before the board had IAN un-
pleasant experience" when it ap-
proved a resolution on integra-
ton and then. after further con-
sideration, reversed its stand.
In the rest Of the State,
calculated approval from both
sides of the issue has greeted
the Supreme Courts latest de-
cision regarding segregation Of
rcaes in the public schools, the
Associated Press reported.
Armistead L. -Boothe, a member
/, Of the House Of Delegates from
Alexandria, had this comment
today on the Supreme Court de-
ciSion:
"The Supreme Court decision
Of May 81, 1855, recognizes in
several ways the problems fac
ing the South in general and
Virginia in particular"
Sigh of Relief Rises
From both sides, but mainly
from the pro-segregationist
camp. came an audible sigh of
relief after the ruling. The
courts decision relieved the ten
sion that has bothered many
since the original ruling in May
Of 1854 declared segregation in
public schools unconstitutional.
Gov. Stanley's reaction yester-
day was one of guarded approval
of the courts decision. After
their saying :. that segregation
must end, what else could we ex-
pect." he asked.
He Immediately urged the
Gray segregation commission to
meet ''at the earliest date pos
sible" and give him "the benefit
Of its judgment in the light Of
the present situation"
Gov. Stanley said he had
talked with State Senator Gar
land Gray, chairman Of the
commission, and was led to be-
lieve the commission would meet
very soon."

Started Last FAN
Washington's school system,
since last fall, has been operat-
ing under a declaration of policy
banning racial discrimination
among both pupils and teachers,
as well as other employees.
Non-racial school zones were
put in effect for new and moving
pupils last September and for
students being promoted from
Junior to senior high in Febru-
ary. In addition, some 2,700 pu-
pills were shifted from colored to
formerly white schools last fall
to relieve crowding.
Additional transfers, Of pupils
entitled to them under boundary
changes, were permitted in Oc-
tober and February. Altogether
some 1000 to 5000 children were
transferred because Of integra-
tion. By November, three-fourths
of the city's 160 schools had
pupils of both races. Thirty
seven also had bi-racial teaching
stats.
Next September a third of the
city's school zones will be read
justed again and some $500
more pupils will be transferred.
including many who wanted to
transfer after last fall but were
not able to.
Under the present board-ap-
proved plan. the integrated zones
won't be entirely In effect, In
elementary schools. until i've
years from now. when all hold
over pupils have been promoted.
This is the main feature OBJ
jected to by some critics.

Montgomery County
Should Lead Way

Montgomery County Is ex.
pected to lead the way in Mary.
land this fall in carrying out the
Supreme Courts integratior
order.
The Board Of Education has
plans to begin integratine
schools in the lower part of the
county, nearest Washington. BY
September, 1856. all Montgomery
County schools would see the
end Of segregation.
The boards plans would be
carried out when the State at
torney general rules no lega!
barriers exist to the new policy
Gov. McKeldin said today the
ending Of school segregation will
take longer in some areas thar
others, but he urged "No de-
liberate delaying actions" the
Associated Press reported.
The Governor said the State
government will assist and en-
courage" school authorities ir
carrying out the order Of the
United States Supreme Court.
DR.. Forbes H. Norris. superin-
tendent Of schools in Mont
gomery County, issued this state
ment today:
'"The Supreme Court, in my
opinion, has made a very fair
and reasonable decision in re-
gard to the end of segregation in
our schools. I see now the pos
sibility of making plans and i'm
plementing the decision in terms
Of community needs and prob
lens. Not all communities can
be treated alike. The policy
enunciated will give us the oppor-
tunity to move reasonably and
surely and in a way that will aid
the schools to provide proper
facilities and to maintain stand
ards.
First Steps Discussed
"The school board has dis
cussed already some Of the first
steps that can be taken. Coming
at this date. I see no reason why
we cannot take the steps in Sep
tember, 1855. This will mean the
closing of four sub-standard
Negro schools in the suburban
area and sending these pupils
to neighboring schools. In some
cases. pupils may have to be
transported out Of their district
for a year or so until building
space is available.
Junior and senior high school
students living in the Montgom-
cry Blair. Bethesda Chevy Chase
and Wheaton High School areas
may elect to go to the nearest

There is a strong possibility also
Of the merging Of the Montgom-
