Patrons, Teachers
Visit LaVale School

About twenty-five parents and
teachers from Oakland, Johnson
and Finzel visited the new Park
side Elementary school at LaVale
in Allegany county last Wednes-
day evening. This is classed as one
of the finest elementary schools in
the state and the group was look
ling for ideas, as two new schools
are being planned for Garrett
county-one in Oakland and one
along Route 40 east of Grantsville.
Through state funds, $550,000 has
been made available for the two
schools in Garrett county While
this amount is below the average
cost per room for school buildings
throughout the state, school authori-
ties say they feel that adequate
buildings can be built with the
amount available. The Oakland
school will consist of IL classrooms,
while the one on Route 40 will be
an eight room school Both schools
will have all necessary facilities.
Ralph Webster, superintendent
of schools for Allegany county, and
Miss Margaret Doak, principal of
the Parkside school, greeted the
visitors. Mr.. Webster explained to
the group the steps taken in the
planning of the building and also
outlined the total cost Of the build
ing, which was S482,000 The build
ing has ten rooms, large library,
health room, visual aids room, adj
ministration office, combined cafe
terra and auditorium, and large
and fully equipped kitchen. The
primary rooms are equipped with
toilets and all rooms had running
water, work tables, built-in cabi-
nets, cloakrooms and storage space.
Ceramic tile was used III all toilets
and corridor walls. Attractive as
phalt tile covered all floor areas.
The building was also constructed
so as to provide for expansion in
to a junior high school at later
date
The visitors came home enthused
at the prospects of having similar
buildings within the near future in
which to house their children The
superintendent of schools, maintc-
nance supervisor and all three
members of the Board of County
Commissioners of the county accom-
panied the group.
Plans are being made to take
another group to visit the school
within the near future.

Brutality Charge

In a reply to a letter with
which the NAACP transmitted
ten complaints for abusive
treatment OF Negro citizens by
members of the Detroit police
force, Commissioner Edward
S. Piggins addressed the fol-
lowing letter TO NAACP's
President, Edward M. Turner
"This will acknowledge your
letter of August 10th. / am
very willing and anxious to
meet with yoou concerning the
complaints which you attached
to your letter, but, in order
that our conference may be q
success, l am asking Deputy
Superintendent Miles Furlong
to make a complete investiga-
ton of the complaints so that

of the facts.
notice with some concern
your statement: 1T is now clear
on the basis of these complaints
that the problem of police
mistreatment of Negro citizens
has taken the form of an active
campaign
Your conclusion, obviously
arrived at without hearing the
other side of each matter
sounds a little unfair and is
especially discouraging to me
personally in view of the efforts
that have made TO correct
and improve the relationship
between the Police Department
and all Of the people in our
City.
I am sure you viii agree

that no fair minded person
could come to any intelligent
conclusion until he has heard
all of the facts from all of the
parties involved.
l have stated previously and
l repeat again that this De-
partment does not condone
brutality on the part of police
officers toward any citizens:
and, if there is any basis TO
the complaints which you have
forwarded to this office. after
all of the facts involved have
been thoroughly investigated.
you can rest assured that pro-
per and firm action will be
taken.
After the Deputy Superinten-
