-Four HonorS
In One Month

In one months time, a To-
year-old girl received four very
outstanding honors.
A junior at Washington-Lee,
a blue-eyed. brown-haired girl
named Carol Inge has been
Cd made a member of the
National French Honor So
ciety; (2) -siested vice president
of the Virginia State Honor
Society; 90 chosen as a men,
Der of the remarkable singing
group, the Madrigals, and "a
just recently been chosen,
through the auspices of the
American Field Service, to go
to France to live with a French
family for several months this
summer.
Never have so many things
happened so fast that are so
good!" said Carol. She also is
in the choir. and a member
of the bridge club. Since two
foreign students visited WI,
two now return from WI to
a foreign country, Carol is one
of them.

cause his parents are vaca-
ton bound to Europe and he
goes along.
In Washington, 6 out Of
10 families take their teen
ayers with them. Nationwide,
only 20 per cent of the tour
lists take their teens. Many
in this area. by the way,
take the whole family to Eu-
rope because they are Euro
peans by birth and are going
there for a family reunion.
The number of teens travel
ing to Europe continually in
creases.
However. the greatest num-
Der of teens take organized,
supervised and chaperoned
tours Even when their parents
are Europe-bound.
Eighty per cent of the teens
go by steamer, 20 per cent by
air And at this moment. pas
sage is heavy. but there is still
room left. In Europe all teen
age bus tours are sold out
completely! Teen-agers go the
cheapest way, a la tourist class.
They fly only when their school
session isn't completed and
they have to catch up with
the tour.
In Europe, anyone over IL is
considered quite adult. In
America it is the student II
years of age OF over who is
adult enough to take a tour.
1t is VERY rare that a teen
goes to Europe alone. 1t is
also very inadvisable!
The places most appealing
to teens are Paris, London.
Switzerland and Italy. And
one item characteristic of
American teen tourists is their
love of swimming They gladly
pass up any sightseeing, to
swim at Capri, the Lido or the
Riviera.
Not including the boat trip,
teens take an average of As
days to see six countries. They
travel through the continent
by bus, train tfor long hauls) =,
bikes. and local boats.
Teen-agers love to go on
tours. AS one travel agent said,
Going to Europe is a party.
Teen-agers like big crowd to
go on that party!" All travel
agencies verified the fact that
about so per cent of the teen
ayers run out of money.
They are tempted by shop
ping and souvenirs. When they
run out of money, they cable
their parents in America or
other parts of Europe!
Clothes that a teen is ad-
vised to bring are informal ones
for Southern Europe; warm
spring clothes for France and
England.
Lastly. for all you lucky, lucky
teen-agers who are Europe
bound with the great exodus.

but the judges refused to accept
that disposition. He now is in
the real estate business in Silver
Spring.
Testimony disclosed Yeatman
instructed the executrix, Mrs
Mildred Knox Crist, to deliver
in his name three checks total
ing $4,000 for the purchase Of
ground rents and leasehold prop
erty in the estate of the late

posted the money in his attor-
ney's account and later in his
private account, the court was
told. and used the funds fol
personal needs.
Through counsel, Yeatmar
admitted he had acted improp-
erly and told the court he had
no desire to resume practice Of
law and said he felt he is moi
mentally or physically capable
of rendering legal services.

Bill Has to Forget
Longing for Country

Ten-year-old Bill wanted to
spend this summer in the coun-
try. Instead. he has to stay in
town.
One reason Bill wanted to 60
was that he was afraid of a gang
that had threatened him-one
|of those that stops little boys on
the street to see If they have any
money.
His 53-year-old aunt. with
whom he lives, goes out with him
on his paper route to help and
protect him, despite the fact that
she is suffering from a heart all
Iment.
Bill has lived with his aunt
since he was 2 or 3 years old,
His mother can't take care of
him. She is a domestic who
lives out in the country and
works some distance away from
her home. She has to take one
of her two other children with
her to sit in the kitchen and
wait while she works.
Little Income
Besides her nephew. Bills aunt
takes care of a 4-year-old boy,
whose mother is supposed to pay
$40 a week for his keep. That
money. when it comes, and the
$66-a-month pension granted
her World War veteran husband,
also a cardiac victim. makes up
her income.
But she is the kind of woman
who forgets herself to do for
others.
Bill isn't going to the country
because there would be no one
to look after him there in the
first place. and because his aunt
wanted him to go to summer
school.
Bill is a well-mannered boy
and one who doesn't want any
trouble. The nurse who visits
his mother thinks it would help
Bill to have something to look
forward TO this summer when
he can't get out of town.
Camp Could Help

help to assuage his disappoint-
ment and give his aunt the sat

81 Million Fund
For Naval Project
Removed From Bill

A $4 million authorization for
IA Naval Academy jet airfield in
Anne Arundel County, Nd, has
been removed from the military
construction bill by the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
The Navy has been seeking the
money to start acquiring the land
for the proposed SIT million air
field, which it planned to use
for matchmaking midshipmen
in modern military aircraft.
A committee aide said the Sem
ate groups negative action prob
ably killed the airf1eld project
for this session of Congress.
The project had been opposed
by both Maryland Senators. par
ticularly Senator Beall. who had
said he was not convinced that
the Naval Academy needed an
airport at all, let alone at David
|sonville.
Site Opposed
1t had been reported that
Naval Academy officials wanted
to locate the airfield on some
$500 acres in the Davidsonville
section of Anne Arundel County.
This site was vigorously opposed
by residents of that tobacco
farming area. There also was a
later report that naval officials
were considering a site in the
HARDWOOD section of Anne Arun-
del County, and similar protests
were heard there.
The Senate committee said
yesterday that it was Complete
ly sympathetic" with what the
Navy intended to do with the
airfield. but added:
Reasons Given
However, it does not recon-
mend approval of the request
at this time. not only because
the location chosen is within the
expanding commercial air traf-
nc pattern between Washington
Baltimore and New York, but
also because it believes that any
establishment of a new facility
OF hits type near the Capital
should be considered in the light
Iof the heavy concentration of
defense facilities in the WASH
ington area. the future use of
the naval fight facility at Ana
costa and the requirement to
provide for proficiency flight
training of naval aviators as
signed to staff positions at the
seat of government"
The committee, however.
authorized the Secretary of the
Navy to obtain independent en-
cheering studies of other FEAST
BILE sites. 1t asked that this
study also include future plans
for the use of the Anacostia
Naval Air Station, and more in
formation on what aircraft in
determination midshipmen have
received in the past.
