The
Rambler
An Off-the-Cuff
Hit by Bornee
By JACK JONAS

During the war he wrote a
tune which was adopted by
the AuSsies as their marching
song.
As the two musicians talked
about music, naturally
Barnee mentioned that he
does his own orcheStrations.
Whoever heard of a band
leader doing his own arrang-
ing?" Mr.. Myers scoffed.
You got a tune in your
head?" Barnee asked, picking
up a menu and rapidly draw
ing some lines on the back.
Mr.. Myers always has a tune
in his head.
Whistle it," said Barnee.
Mr.. Myers did. AS he whis-
tied, the band leader rapidly
took down the notes. A half an
hour later, the band was play
ing it, complete with trick
solos for piano, clarinet and
trumpet.
The band played it four
times during the evening,
each time to increasing APP
plauSe from the patrons, al
though nobody but Barnee
and those at Mr.. Myers table
knew its source.
Name
Why do they call it Ten
leytOwn?
Originally this nebuIOus
area north of Tenley circle
was Tennally Town, named
for John Tennally, who ran
q tavern in Georgetown.
That was corrupted later
into Tenley Town, and fin
ally run together as Ten
leytOwn. As late as 1899,
Tenley Town was listed in
the city directory as a post
village on the Rockville
turnpike"
Traveller
When Frank Powers retired
last year, he'd been riding
trucks through the downtown
area for 43 years, taking The
Star to news dealers. His
friends felt he'd earned his
rest.
why don't you go to Flor
ida?' some suggested.
why don't you go fishing?"
others said.
I'm going to do what I
want to do" Frank told them
all. What he wants to do is
ride trucks. He's been riding
to places like Fredericksburg
and Front Royal.
I've been seeing more of
the country around Washing
ton than 1 ever saw in my life
before" Frank said the other
day. His life's been a long one.
Next month he'll be IS.
Service
A crOSstOwn bus stopped
at Irving and Mount Pleas
ant streets to let off some
passengers.
would you mind waiting
a few minutes, driver?" one
lady said as she was alight-
ing. Il want to pick up a
quart of milk"
The driver waited, and
when the patron got back
aboard, quipped, "Sure you
got everything now, lady?
Need bread? Eggs? Butter?"
Stripped
George Rosen tells this sad
story about a friend and the
new car that wouldn't start:
When the friend bought the
automobile, one of the me-
dunn priced kind, he got per-
mission to park it in the drive
way of a cemetery on West
Virginia avenue.
The next day, he walked
over to his car, surveyed it
proudly-as new car owners
do--got inside and stepped on
the starter.
Nothing happened. He tried
again. Still nothing.
He got out and lifted the
hood. There was nothing un-
derneath. Someone had stolen
the motor.

Special Dispatch to The Star

WARRENTON, Va, May S.
The Virginia Gold Cup stayed
in its own back yard today when
a Warrenton-owned, Warrenton-
trained mare named Gillian fin
ished the 4 miles and % fences
six lengths in front before a
crowd of 10000.
In the first turn of the feature
in a six-race program, Gillian
was held far back by Trainer
Grover Stephens. She came on
with a rush at the last two
fences to take the handsome
trophy for Capt. J. H. B. Bent
ley.
Randolph Rouses Ricacho,
bought for $4,000 this week with
the Gold Cup in mind, jumped
like a stag for the first turn of
the field. running 20 to 80 lengths
ahead of the nearest horse. At
the sixth fence, like the stag at
eve who had drunk his fill, Ri
cacho rolled over and retired.
Jockey Paddy Smithwick was
unhurt.
For the next IA fences, Stokes
Lott on Starboard and Gene
Weymouth on Star Salome ran
a neck-and-neck duel. 1t took
both of them.
When Stephens moved up with
Gillian the leaders had nothing
left. Starboard finished second
and Star Salome third.

ture this afternoon, Jockey Jay

Guild Presents
"Antigone"

Itta Bena, Mississippi - The
Mississippi Vocational College
Players Guild presents the i'm
mortal, dynamic "Antigone" on
Thursday and Friday nights, Feb
ruary and 10 at $3.50 pm, in
the College Auditorium. Jean
Anouilh's production of Sophocles
Antigone has been adapted for
presentation to American audiences
by Lewis Galentiere.
The plot of the forceful, COM
polling tragedy is Unexpectedly
simple. 1t concerns Antigone's de-
termined, assidious refusal to COM
ply with her Uncle Croon's orders
that no one must bury the corpse
of Antigone's brother, Polynices,
who had died as an enemy of The
bes and, in keeping with Theban's
law was not entitled to burial. An
tigone's attempts to defray the
orders of her uncle, the king, bring
tragic and dramatic results.
The setting will automatically
portray the period, 400 B. c., when
the tragedy won second place at
the Drama Festival.
Members of the cast include:

Situation Envisaged
"But today some Protestants, in
their arduous opposition to the Su-
preme Courts anti-segregation rul-
ing, have seemed to forget that
one of the by-products of their
program may be the weakening
Of the principle of church-state
separation.
'It would be tragedy if Amer
lea developed creedal segregation
in education as by-pfoduct of the
fight over racial segregation"
DR.. Blanshard envisaged a sit
uation under the Gray plan in Vir-
ginia "where private parochial
schools might be made officially
non-secretarian but where the en-
phasis would still be on sectarian
education and indoctrination."
DR.. Blanshard warned that the
South might develop private
schools in two groupings, unof-
ficial Protestant and unofficial
Roman Catholic, with grants of
public money to the parents of the
children in each system The
genuinely public and non-sectarian
school might almost disappear in
several states of the South"
Coming To An End?
The Roman Catholic school sys-
tenn might gain most in the long
run, because this system is the
only large private school system
in a position to profit by public
appropriations" said DR.. Blan-
shard.
He pointed out that one leading
Roman Catholic paper has pub
lished an article entitled, Public
School System Coming to an End 2"
In it, he said, at was prophesied
that the new southern drive for
private schools would strengthen
the Catholic concept of education"

principles and warned their people

DR.. Blanshard told the eighth an
nual banquet Of Protestants and
other Americans united for sepa-
ration of church and state, Jan. 25.
DR.. Blanshard commended the
POAU for its work in defense of
religious liberties, ard referred to
statement by Glenn L. Archer,
the organizations executive direct
or, that POAU has played an i'm
portant part in saving American
taxpayers $55, 100000 that would
otherwise have gone to sectarian
institutions in violation of the Con-
stitution.
An encouraging sign cited by
DR.. Blanshard is the fact that some
members of Congress who in the
past have not supported federal
aid to education unless parochial
schools received public funds, now
indicate they will not make this
demand, thus removing a barrier
to congressional action.
