NAL instruction and causing

cipalS to claSsroomS.

hiring any more substitutes in
the elementary schools was i'm
posed for the rest of current

Substitutes can't even be
hired when teachers get sick.

Said Cumerumon:
One More Cheese
By JACK JONAS

School and State Depart
ment officials still are trying
to recover from the sudden
ness of last weeks visit by a
group of Japanese PTA mem
bers who few in from the
West Coast almost unan-
nounced.
1t was touch-and-go at the
airport for a while, with none
of the visitors knowing Eng
lish and none of the welcom-
ing delegation speaking Japa-
neSe.
But that was ironed out
with a hurry-up call for an
interpreter. All are in agree
ment now that everybody had
a fine time-eSpecially during
the White House incident.
The visitors, well armed
with cameras like any tourist
group, we're taken on a tour of
the Executive Mansion. There
had to be, of course, a group
picture in front after the tour.
There was some difficulty in
getting all so of them to smile
at the same time, and they
wanted it to be a pleasant
picture.
So the thoroughly Ameri-
canized interpreter gave a
brief English lesson. He taught
them all the word Cheese"
an old trick used by pho
tographers for getting a smile
out of the dourest of men.
With one of their number
counting "one, two, three" in
Japanese, they all practiced
saying cheese" in unison.
Before they we're finished,
all were laughing so gaily at
their own efforts that it was
no trouble at all getting a
pleasant picture.

A Bethesda man with a

SIGN THESE CHARGES
She related how before the
boycott, "I asked the dryer to
let me off. The driver didn't
stop, so I moved closer and I
didn't mean to, but I touched
the drivers seat. He shouted at
me, IF you don't get back, I'll
put you off, and I said, Some
day it's gonna be different And
it is going to be different"
A friend introduced me to Mr..
Henry Smith who is a mainte-
nance man and chauffeur. He
had been driving his own car
with his wife, twin daughters
and a neighbor, when the police
rolled up beside them and bark
ed: Consider yourself under
arrest. Follow me to the police
station" Upon arrival at the
station, the police lieutenant
placed a blank charge form in
front of him with the order to
sign it. Mr.. Smith said he could
not sign without seeing the
charges. He is one of the FL
convicted on charges Of run
ming an illegal transportation
system. Mr.. Smith took me to
his neighbor with the observa-
ton that "these walking people
put up a tremendous job"
"I'm one of the ones that
sure do walk. I been walking
and still plan on walking till I
can ride the buses right" said
the lady who worked as a do
