who made the sacriflce. Those who
endured the hardships, fought the
battles and saw all the horror of
the wars, but were fortunate
enough to return, think again of
their comrades who did not. The
following is an article written by
Paul B. Moore, of Millsboro, in
1947. a copy of which was given
to the American Legion Auxiliary
of the Indian River Post. Mr..
Moore who now operates a jewelry
store in Millsboro is a member
of this legion post. The story as
related below, he has titled "The

if we had any sense, we stayed
away from them.
Now the trusted mule and
simple implement are being rap
idly replaced with the iron
horse and the complicated ma
chine. Both OF these have their
danger points too. The trouble
is, we haven't learned to know
and respect them yet. And while
this lasts, good machines con-
tinue 10 cripple and kill careless
operators.
With every machine comes

EN-. These tell Of efficient oper-
alton and dangers to avoid. But
we are not paying enough attcn-

Building Plan
Boys Down

The 300 block OF forth Wash
ington street, Alexandria, which
was to get a $2.5 million CON-
mercial building, is scheduled to
be used for parking lot tenn
porarily because of a delay in
plans.
Ralph H. Boyle. ST.. spokesman
for a l5-member group Of bust
nessmen who bought the pro-
perty last year, said negotiations
have begged down with the de-
partment store which was sup
posed to occupy the largest store
in the building.
The block was rezoned last
October on a 5-to-2 vote OF the
City Council. Several historic as.
ISOLATION representatives pro.
tested the rezoning from residen-
tial because they felt the historic
atmosphere Of the street was
being ruined by commercial
establishments.
Mr.. Boyle told City Council.
men Monday the block would be
used for parking until plans car
be carried out for the commercial
building. Original plans called
for 7-story center structure
flanked by 4-story wings.

lily integrated Eastern High
School, Seventeenth and B
streets NE. had a very success
| full" senior prom last June. And
Miss Kelleher said her colored
and white elementary pupils "got
along fine together" Several
elementary teachers who said
there had been fighting said it
had been among colored chill
dren, not colored and white.
Mrs. Cramer and several others
said they did not favor having
very small minorities of white
children in schools or classes
predominantly colored. But
Mrs. Emile Lassalle, chief at
tendance officer, said she knew
of instances where children had
adjusted to this satisfactorily.
There we're some conflicts in
testimony. In the case of
Eastern High School a letter
was introduced from John P.
Collins. former principal,
strongly condemning indignation
at the school for bringing a long
list of disciplinary and other
problems. Two Eastern teachers
later painted a much more
favorable picture.
w. Barrett Fuchs, biology
teacher, said that since closing
last spring of a junior high
unit disciplinary problems have
been practically nil"
Eastern's present principal,
Lynn F. Woodwork. also took
issue in press interviews with
the statements by his predeces-
sor. Mr.. Woodwork was not
called to testify.
Assault" Disputed
A former Mckinley High
School music teacher. Miss Kath-
crime Fowler, testified without
elaboration that a former school
clerk had been assaulted" by
Ia colored boy. The Mckinley
principal. DR.. Charles E. Bish,
said in press interviews that a
small junior high school boy
apparently hit the clerk acci-
dentally while running past the
school.
DR.. Bish also was not called
as a witness.
Assistant School Supt. John

school systems bill for window
breakage had increased in the
last several years. He was not
given an opportunity 10 explain
that the reason was a rise in
replacement costs. Actual break

Miss Lyons was the only rank
ing Negro school official called
upon. Other Negro witnesses
came from schools with few or
mo white students and we're

Confidence was expressed by
both DR.. Corning and some other
