FREDERICK, Md, April S
Frederick County Democrat.
got the full treatment last
nigh with all five senatorial
candidates and two of the three
9Th district congressional can
didates attending their annual
Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner.
None of the candidates got to
speak at the affair. but they had
plenty of time for hand shaking
and face-to-face campaigning.
About PTS Democrats attended
Senator Mansfield, Democrat
Of Montana, was the principal
speaker. drawing enthusiastic
applause when he attacked
President Eisenhower and his
"do-nothing administration"
Senator Mansfield, criticizing
the Republican administration
for failing to put forth one new
idea in foreign policy" declared
that I'VE are losing to the Rus
SLAMS both automatically and
mllitarily."
Spotlight on Senate Contest
But it was the Maryland sena-
torial contest that got the most
attention from this partisan
crowd. Frederick. with its seven
unit votes. is crucial county in
the contest for the Democratic
senatorial nomination between
George P. Mahoney and former
Senator Willard E. Tydings.
Most observers feel the county
could go either way. The Demo
cratic Central Committee is
equally split, and that seems tc
be the situation at the precinct
level also.
! Mr.. Mahoney, who was first on
the scene last night to greet din
ner guests as they entered the
Francis Scott Key Hotel, has
been in Frederick County three
times during the current cam
paign.
Mr.. Tydings, on the other
hand. was making his first ap-
pearance last night. He was
touring all through the county
today and plans another tour
here next week.

to tour st. Marys County today
in a three-day swing through

running for the Senate on a
States rights platform
Mr.. Easter passed out cam
paign cards which he drew from
"a large paper shopping bag he
was carrying.
Tydings and Mahoney Talk
Mr.. Tydings and Mr.. Mahoney
conversed with one another in
an apparently friendly manner
on a few occasions during the
evening. During one of these
tete-a-tetes, Mr.. Mahoney said
in an aside to some news report
ers standing nearby:
you guys don't have anything
to write about in this campaign.
There's nothing but US sissy
candidates in the race"
The two congressional candi-
dates shaking hands for all they
were worth were John r. Foley
and j. Grahame Walker, both of
Montgomery County.
Maryland Attorney General C.
Ferdinand Sybert, another ban
.quet speaker, praised Mr.. Tyd-
ings and Mr.. Mahoney for keep
ing their pledge that they would
conduct their campaigns on a
high plane and not engage in
personalities or mudslinging."
"They are discussing the is
sues" he added, land the voters

BETHUNE ELEMENTARY

Tuesday night was really
night all patrons and pupils en-
joyed. We celebrated our May Dav
activities. II certainly was a well
planned and timed activity. Our
theme was Springtime in Doll
Land" We witnessed dolls from
many lands, there were some
from Switzerland, Spain, Hawaii,
China, America, Davy Crockett
dolls and many other lands. An
other thrilling and exciting time
came when boys from 'he an h
and 9th grades participated in the
tumbling activity. this was yer
gratifying. The fourth grade class
of Mrs. N. Symonette who re-re-
scented Davy Crockett dolls did a
splendid job on plating the May
pole. We had a capacity crowd Of
about 900. Congratul9 ior
v. Silva and Frank Woodland,
physical education instructors for
working so untiringly with the
teachers, also Isaac Meares who
acted as narrator in the absence
of Clifford Matthews.
We were. very happy Wednes-
day morning to welcome Mrs.
Willie Mae Brown back after a
long period of illness. We were
also happy to welcome Mrs. Bibb
back.
Despite the fact we can't be
happy at all times there are times
when our hearts are saddened.
During this week end Mr.. Mat
thews had to leave us to go home
to Gainesville to be at the bed
side of his mother. He arrived
Monday and reported a favorable
improvement. Mrs. N. Svmonette
was out the latter part of the week
for the illness of her father. Re

sicians in the world, God is the
best. Put your trust in Him and
let your heart rest. Remember

BTW Jr. High
Places Second

Booker T. Washington Junior
High School basic education
classes was awarded second place
in the contest, "Seminoles as Cit
izens", sponsored bv the "r"eni-
cation Friends Of the Seminoles,
Florida Foundation, Inc. Presen-
tation OF the Award Certificate
and second prize Of an apron
made in the Seminole patchwork
art, was made by Miss Pauline
Corley, novelist and journalist,
who was chairman of the judges
for the contest.
Admitting that they knew very
little about the Seminoles when
they started the unit study for
which awards were given, one OF
the Booker T. Washington STU
dents said, 1.-THE Seminoles have
strict ideas on what is right and
wrong. Lying, cheating and steal
ing are serious crimes with them.
Seminoles are severely punished
if they disobey the laws of their
tribes. Few other groups in the
United States have been allowed
such a privilege as capital pun
ishment in the administration of
tribal justice"
A Dorsey junior high student
writes, "Seminoles never lose
their care for their children, nor
their skill in arts and crafts, es-
pecially the patchwork art which
makes their clothing unique"
In their research for material,
students visited Indian villages,
collected newspaper and magazine
articles, wrote essays and origi-
nal stories to show their growth
in understanding the problems of
the present day period of transit
ton between the primitive Semi
mole culture and the privileges of
citizenship. Now they know about
the extensive cattle ranching en-
terprises, international sales made
through the Seminole Craft
guild, 220 SeminoleS in schools
and colleges, and home being
constructed at DANA.
Requests are being received for
similar contest next year.

class was in charge of the week.
ly chapel exercises. During this
time, the class presented a play
let entitled "Time for Mom". It
was a playlet that was, particu-

AS the close of school draws
closer and closer the yearly eval-
uation program is very impor-
tant. One of the significant fea-
lures of this program is the re-
turn of books that have been en-
trusted to our children for the
classroom use, but through some
mysterious channels they have
been removed from the class
rooms and into the homes. We
are sincerely hoping that all
children and parents of A. L.

locating all books of the school
board that have been allotted to
the school.
We almost regret the closing
of school, now that the rooms on
the east wing of the school plant
are being furnished with shades

growth of a social studies unit

also served as an incentive for all
boys and girls to remember the
most wonderful person in the
whole world, their mother. Many
traditional Mothers Day songs
were sung by the group and
some original songs were compos-
