This year. string beans, salad
green's and tomatoes are planted.
Last year, he raised tomatoes,
onions and cucumbers for the
family table. The garden is
fenced of with lengths of string
in the back yard.
Besides his outside chores,
Henry takes his turn with the
dishes.
Mrs. Pickett works four days
a week in private homes. She
leaves at $50 o'clock in the
mornings. so the kids have to
get themselves off to school. She
gets home at 5 pm.

was no one to take care of the
child. Now Rose is in school.

BOTTLED IN ATTIC
.73 YEARS. BOATS
NEAR A BREAKUP

FREDERICKSBURG. Va.
R.-You've seen miniature
boats in bottles. Now here's
one about q boat in an attic.
It's a 27-foot craft built 73
years ago by William K.
Howard. then 20. who lived
at Kenmore, near here, in a
home that once was the resi-
dence Of George Washing
tons sister, Mrs. Fielding
Lewis. and is now a shrine.
When he finished the boat.
Mr.. Howard found he could
not get it through the 21-
by-25-inch attic window and
his mother wouldn't let him
make the opening larger.
So all these years the boat
has been gathering dust in
the attic. Now, Robert
Flick director of Kenmore,
thinks a house cleaning is
in order. But before break
ing up the boat he'll contact
Mr.. Howard's descendants to
see If they're interested in
the craft for sentiments
sake.

DR.. Pullen said he had received
the impression from a confer
ence with Maryland Attorney

that Federal and, in some cases,

whether county officials were
making the prompt and reason
able" start toward desegregation
required by the ruling. arr e
None OF the county superin-
tendents said when integration
Of white and Negro pupils in his
schools would be effected. Will
liam M. Brish Of Washington
County came closest when he
said he felt desegregation would
be mo great problem" there.
