LIBERTY CITY SCHOOL

The Student Council OF our
school is sponsoring a drive to
encourage the pupils to attend
school regularly. The grade group
which has the highest class at
tendance receives a silver star
which is displayed on the outer
side of their doors. So when you
are visiting our school, look for
the silver stars.
On last Friday our school was
bursting with activity. Mrs. Gill
tried to find out what was caus-
ing the connection. She would
see groups of teachers talking but
as she approached, everything
would become still. Then she saw
a pupil darling in and out of
rooms. When at last Mrs. Gill
caught up with the pupil, she was
rescued by another teacher who
eXl,lained that the pupils was
helping her. So this undercurrent
81 secrecy continued until 1900
sharp. The bell rang, classes came
rushing from their rooms and off
the school grounds to the center
nall. Here Mrs. Gill was greeted
It'll the Birthday Song" Why
all the activity was a surprise
birthday recognition from the stu
dent body. After singing "Hap-
py Birthday" each grade group
resented Mrs. Gill with a pres
ent.
But, all was not ended here.
The teachers continued the day
oy giving a banquet in honor of
oGr dear beloved principal. The
banquet was held n the dining
room of the Club Calvert where
many guests were present who at
one time or another had occasion
to work with Mrs. Gill or was
a member of some organization
that she participated. The ban
quet came as a surprise but a
finer person could not have de-
served it.
Also on Friday, a member of
cur faculty had an addition to her
rannily. Mrs. Gloria Lacey was
blessed with a baby girl at Jack
son Memorial Hospital.

lights on Monday for the Mothers

Each officer now takes from one to three
courses in the fields of psychology, English
and Government
The three-hour classes are held once a
week, with duplicate morning and evening
sessions for officers who may be working
alternate night and day shifts.
Courses to be offered at later date by
instructors, who are experts in their fields,
include police investigation, public speak
ing police administration, police law and
evidence, introduction to public admins
tration, and other courses on Government.
To earn a certificate. an officer must
accumulate 80 semester hours If he wants
to pursue his studies further, he can get
a B. S. in police administration
The men pay for the courses out Of their
own pocketS-$1O a semester hour. or $500
for the completed certificate.
Since the course is still in its infancy,
it's too early, according to police officials,
to come up with a total evaluation. But
they are hopeful-and confident.
The only reward the officers receive for
enrolling is that, when they earn their
certificates, copies will be put in their
record jackets.

LONDON. Nov. % (P.
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd

American differences over the
Middle East are the Communist
powers"
Mr.. Lloyd was met by report
ers after flying home from New
York where he represented Brit
ain at the United Nations Gen
eral Assembly debates on the
Suez Canal crisis.
Yesterday a White House
statement approved by President
Eisenhower declared that the
differences between the United
States and Britain had arisen
from a particular international
incident" This referred to the
British-French invasion Of Egypt
and United States refusal to
back that action. But Mr.. Eisen-
hover added that the differences
should not be construed as weak
ening or disrupting the United
States-British- French alliance.
The reporters asked Mr.. Lloyd
about the White House state
ment.
Mr.. Lloyd declared that Mr.
Eisenhower had described the

Il hope it is only an incident
But there is no doubt that we
have got to get our policies on
the Middle East more closely al

realize that the only advantage
in the present situation is to
the Communist powers"
He denied reports he had
planned to confer with Mr.. Eli

There had been some reports
here that the President had made
it clear he didn't want to see Mr.
Lloyd-especially while British
and French troops still occupied
part of the Suez Canal despite
withdrawal resolutions by the
United Nations.
Mr.. Lloyd was asked if he be-
Ilieved Britain has been "let
down" by the United States al

United States backed resolutions
demanding Britain, France and
Israel withdraw their troops. He
