State Teachers
Out 10 Override
School Aid Veto

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 80 R.-
Legislators will find Maryland
school advocates looking over
their shoulders and urging them
to override when they consider
the vetoed s4.soO.OoO school con-
struction bill at the legislative
session beginning Wednesday.
The bill was approved by the
1855 General Assembly. It would
increase State aid for new school
construction by $40 per pupil in
Baltimore City and each county.
Gov. McKeldin, who vetoed 1t
last June. said it was passed
without any regard for financ-
ing its cost" He also said it
continues the countenancing OF
the glaring inequalities in
the assessing of property for tax
purposes" the basis for distri-
buting school aid.
Serves Notice Of Battle
Nilsson c. Raver. executive sec
rotary Of the Maryland State
Teachers Association, served no.
tive yesterday that his group and
the Maryland Congress of Par
ents and Teachers would battle
for passage Of the bill over the
veto.
He accused Gov. ,McKeldin of
making statements last week
about State aid for school con-
struetion which were misleading.
Gov. McKeldin told the Balti-
more Rotary Club that his
budget proposals for next year
leave essential services unim-
paired" Mr.. Raver said.
Lack Space for 1900
Mr.. Raver added. How can we
refer to school services as being
'unimpaired' when we lack class
room space for more than $1,000
children in the State who are at
tending school on double session.
in makeshift space, or in excess
sively large classrooms? In ad-
dition there are many children
housed in obsolete school build
ings.
1T would take more than
1900 additional classrooms to
house the $1,000 pupils currently
in excess Of school, building
yet the Governors
budget will increase the States
contribution for school construc-
ton by only $4,000 over the
amount appropriated for the
current year.
This amount will not even
pay for two classrooms. while
we are already 1900 rooms be-
hind, and well need 1000 more
rooms each year for the next
five years to house additional

ing a race track in Puerto Rico.
DR.. Byrd is president of Balti-.
more Contractors International,
Inc. The company is building
the IS million track at San Juan.
1t will seat approximately 5000
spectators in the grandstand,
1900 in the clubhouse and turf
club, and have enough space to-
accommodate some $4,000 horse
fans in all. he said.
DR.. Byrd lost his Democratic
bid for governor of Maryland toI
Theodore F. McKeldin, the in
cumbent, two years ago. He en-
tered the race after resigning as
president Of the University OF
Maryland. His earlier career at
College Park included a stretch
as the university's football coach.
District Men in Group
A syndicate of New Workers
and Washington men is building
the track, DR.. Byrd said. The
Washingtonians. he said. include
Robert A. Phillipson. auditor and
accountant. and Marvin Willig
and Ray Dickey. both OF the
Danzansky and Dickey law firm.
Mr.. Dickey is treasurer Of the
track corporation and Mr.. Willig
is its building committee chair
man. !
The race track is scheduled to
open late in July. BY then the
barns can stable about 500
horses, about 200 less than
eventual capacity. he said.
Prof. Mark M. Shoemaker.

scaping Department. Is direct
ing the new tracks landscaping.
The track is being carved in a
mountainside. More than l mil
lion cubic yards of dirt are be-
ing moved.
1.-TWO tracks in Puerto Rico
now conducting racing will cease
operations when the new track
opens" DR.. Byrd's announce
ment said. THE government
wants the land they now occupy
made available for Puerto Rico's
large housing program"
Praises People /
He added that ut is amazing
to know how little the average
person on the continent knows
about Puerto Rico and its peo-
pie. Impressions gained from the
actions of such as those who
shot up Congress are entirely
erroneous. Puerto Ricans are a
courteous, friendly people who
will go out Of their way to be
helpful to others"
DR.. Byrd said his Puerto
Rican associations have been
pleasant because about rs per
cent OF all the doctors and
dentists. as we'll as many others,
are graduates of the University
of Maryland. Gives me quite a
little satisfaction to walk into
doctors home or Office and see

with my signature on it,"
The track will be owned by

ton. his announcement said.
The association intends ito seek
cooperation with the University
of Puerto, in order to build the
entire animal industry program

Severe Winter
Weather Factors
Aired AT Meet

Denver, Colo. - Severe winter
weather and it's effect on winter
drilling costs and oil field operat-
ing conditions were discussed here
last week at the closing group SEES
sisons of the Rocky Mountain Dis
trict meeting of the APPS Produc-
ton Division.
Four speakers presented papers
dealing with weather, and methods
to cut increased costs brought
about by extreme low temperatures
in winter in the Rockies and west
ern Canada.
DR.. Irving P. Krick, Irving P.
Krick Associates, Denver, present
ed a paper on the effects of wea-
Their and variations on drilling in
the Rockies. DR.. Krick discussed
winter and it's relation to the lives
of drilling rig crews, as well as ON
the drilling and transportation ma
chinery used to procure oil and gas.
He declared that weather forecast
techniques can be applied success
fully to specific phases of petrol
cum industry operations, thereby
reducing weather hazards to min
imum. This results in increasing
operational efficiency to a maxi
mum extent, he concluded.
Another paper pertaining to in

In addressing the second annual

Rakestraw, Kerr-McGehee Oil In
dustries, Inc, Casper, Wyo. Rake
straw dealt with the fluctuations
in cost for winter drilling in the
Rockies, pointing out that an in
crease Of $1.35 to $4.05 per drill
ing foot can be expected in winter.
Trucking costs, roads and clear
ing locations are other costs which
increase greatly in winter drilling,
Rakestraw said. "Since winter
normally curtails drilling activity
in most areas of the Rockies, and
results in substantially lower rig
utilization, there is an increase in
cost of drilling during this period"
This results in higher overhead
costs per operating rig, he said.
A third paper on winter drilling
in the Rockies was given by C. A.
Mitchell, The California Co., Dem
yer. Mitchell discussed the effects
of cold weather on oil producing
equipment. He described how
pumping units, flow lines, sepa-
rators and storage tanks are all
adversely affected, and require ad-
ditional maintenance during winter
operation. Mitchell concluded with
a list of suggestions for techniques
and equipment to minimize winter
operating problems.

problems in relation to an increase

1900 barrels day in 1947 to over

women who come to this country
to study are in an impressionablc
stage of their young lives, he
states. In ten years or so they
will be leaders of the Liberian
government and will formulate for
eign policies to mold public opin-
ion regarding relationships to this
country as we'll as all other coun-
tries.
The young men and women have
many adjustments to make when
they come to America, some of
which are difficult and complicaL-
ed. These adjustments cannot be
made properly without guidance
on one hand and receptiveness on
the other, assured the Ambassador
Not only is it important for
America and Liberia to maintain
a closer relationship through means
of cultivating friendship with for
eign students, but it is important
that the two countries build "clos-
er economic connections" said the
Ambassador.
This can be done through helpful
technical assistance from govern
ment agencies of the United States
and through the joint belief in DEM
ocratic principles. The economic
projects, said Padmore, can be car
ried out by Liberia receiving some
assistance from the U. S. govern
ment in the assimilation of new
business enterprises within that
country.
The building of factories and the
development of plantations by
Americans now seem to be of con-
Germ and appears to be given IA
vorable consideration by some citi-
Gems of this country, he said.
Liberia welcomes such construc-
tive interest and will be happy to
give the necessary assistance Of
governmental facilities wherever
practical and appropriate, continu-
ed Ambassador Padmore. "The
opportunities are great" he en-
phasized.

Historical SOciety's Filmstrip Tells
Story OF OhiO's Picturesque Canals

The story of Ohio's picturesque
canals is told in a filmstrip produced
jointly by the education department
of The~Ohio Historical society and
the bureau of educational research of
the Ohio State university for the
teaching of state history in the
schools.
The film is made up of a half
hundred original pictures done in
brilliant water-color by Elizabeth
Lloyd, an Ohio artist.
Construction of the canal system
was begun on July a, 1926. During
the next twenty years, the state
built 813 miles of canals, linking
Lake Erie and the Ohio River with
two waterways. Reservoirs covering
5000 acres of land were made and
294 locks constructed.
Meanwhile, a rival form of trans
portation, the railroad, appeared. Al
the turn of the century, after long
period of decline in patronage, the
canals fell into disrepair. Whole
sections were leased to private inter
ests. and the sites gradually were
abandoned.
Today, the system is hardly more
than memory. The great reservoirs
are known now as lakes Buckeye
Indian, and st. Mary's. Old weed
filled canal beds and locks still stand
