Matter of Fact

Gene Goodwin in his article
High Court Test Seen in Po-
tomac oyster Fight" in The
Sunday Star Of April 81. states
that the. Potomac River was
given by grant with the Mary
land Colony TO Lord Calvert
by King Charles I. This is in
error, for the Charter OF
Maryland was granted to none
other than George Calvert,
Lord Baron Of Baltimore. and
neither he nor any Of the
subsequent Lords Baltimore
were ever rightly known as
Lord Calvert.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

"I1l show you. Mr.. JONES'"
she purred. Have you got a
small cardboard box?"
Glad for an excuse to get
farther away, Jones walked
across the room and picked
up an old box.
Just the thing" said the
girl, as she put the mouse in
and clapped the lid on.
1T should have some air."
said Jones, coming forward
bravely. now that the mouse
was out of sight.
y ~
The girl bored a few holes
with the point of a scissors,
and asked for a pen.
She put the name Of a
brave former Marine on the
box, and said. Nov. I'm go
ing to put it in Jerry's mail
box"
The impish smile was at its
best when the brave man, a
fact none could dispute, cau-
tiously pried the lid of the
box.
"Ha. ha. hal" grinned she.
as the man lodged back as
the captive mouse made good
his escape.
Dislike for rodents seems to
be a part of some people, not
of others. That is about all
that can be said about it.
The same with snakes.
Snakes and mice "and other
small deer" as Shakespeare
put it in king Lear" offer an
easy test in this matter, one
which most persons. perhaps.
would not relish.
All one has to do is expose
himself to one Of these filter
ing things. as 1t makes its way
in a hostile world.

One can still feel sorry for it..
as the extermihator man
sprays his deadly spray.
One knows, as a result Of
much reading and experience,
that the invisible liquid will
leave its deadly mark.
There will be no escape
for mice. Who can know in
the days to come that there
will be any escape for the rest
Of living things?
We humans have worked
our way around to such a peak
OF deadly perfection that we
run a grave risk Of forcing
ourselves to take our own
deadly medicine. 1t will serve
us right If we outsmart our
selves.

"Bugs?" asked Temp Jones.
chummily.
Mice" said the man with
the sprayer.
There haven't been any
here for a long time" replied
Jones.
The man gave a squeeze of
his spraygun.
After he had gone, Jones
took a large piece of paper and
carefully wiped where he had
seen the man spray. 45
1t was a bit of humane sab
otage.
Then Jones opened the win
dow wide. despite the raw day.
He felt that he was develop
ing a headache in just the last
few seconds.

Jones didn't tell the man
that he had once put a slab Of
fine cheese beneath the office
bookcase.
1t was gone the next morn
ing, but whether the office
mouse got 1t or the cleanup
woman, nobody ever knew.
Once mice come a dime a
dozen. as the saying has it,
and usually cause some fiutter-
ing.
Once. however, there was a
young lady in Jones office who
liked mice.
Jones had found one rus

waste paper basket, unable to
get out. and not liking his
situation in the least.

"Are you afraid Of mice, Mr..
Jones?" laughed the young
girl.

Jones. well, I'm not exactly
afraid Of 'em. but I wouldn't
want one to run UP my arm"
The girl leaned over the
basket and put her hand down
to the bottom.
The mouse ran UP her arm.

The girl grinned impishly.
She looked particularly fetch

Three most interesting and
beautiful buildings in WASH
ington stand side by side:
State, War and Navy, White
House and Treasury. All the
more interesting and beautiful
because each Is different.
Following the Civil War, the
men who had worn the Blue
and the Gray blended their
efforts to build the State. War
and Navy Building. which is
perhaps the finest example
of French Renaissance in
America.
The White House has been

it DOWN.; the Treasury has

and all that the fine old State.

it to its original classic beauty.
But the powers-that-be have
cast an evil eye on this fine
building. Though 1t is one Of
the best built structures and
the newest Of the three. they
want to demolish 1t. or remodel
II to conform to the Grecian
type Of architecture as do most
of our Government buildings.
While we are still using

II this fine old building is

fine old buildings Of the Smith

Congress! This little group Of
willful men seems to care no
more for the wishes Of the
people than they do for the
taxpayers dollars. For
example. they built the Key
Memorial Bridge beside the
old home of Francis Scott
Key. Then. to make way for q
ramp to the bridge. they tore
down the old home which
would have been turned into
a national shrine in any other
city.
This beautiful building of
French Renaissance, which so
long housed our State, War

SeH-Defense

Jack Rathbone Of the Ar
lington Chapter Of Defenders
Of State Sovereignty and In
dividual Liberties has tried to
make political capital out Of
my address to the Arlington
Council Of PTAs. given on
April l6. Mr.. Rathbone was
not in the audience that eve
ming, and ! fear he has re-
ceived a badly distorted ac-
count Of the meeting. To i'm
ply, as he does in his letter
to Arlington PTAs. that poll
tics and race amalgamation"
was the subject Of my remarks
is totally unwarranted and in
accurate.
My talk was intended to
show that public schools are a
part Of representative govern
ment. I gave a factual account
Of State constitutional and
legislative authority. described
the role of the State Board Of
Education. and described the
respective roles Of the local
school board and the county
board. In connection with the
role Of local governing bodies,
/ pointed out how far the re-
cent school legislation has de-
parted from time -honored To-
cal option. I said that citizens
and citizen organizations have
a right and a duty to take ac-
tion for or against school is
sues. Since Mr.. Rathbone and
his organization are constantly
exercising that right, 1t i'll be-
comes him to criticize others
who exercise the same right.
One Of the important objec-
tives Of the PTA is ITO secure
adequate laws for the care and
protection of children and
youth" The PTA never sup
ports candidates or political
parties. 1t does. however, take
positions on principles and is
sues. after discussion and ap-
proval Of its membership. This
1t did during the special ses-
sion last September. and its
stand had. in my opinion, an
important effect. For example,
in the decisive vote to allow To-
cal option as an alternative
to the Governors cutoff plan,
80 members Of the House of
Delegates voted for the local
option amendment.
The larger issue in Virginia
today is the preservation of
local control Of public schools
not desegregation. The PTAs
have seen this clearly. In a
statement Of position made by
the State Executive Commit
tee on September /. 1856. and
signed by the State president,
the PTA opposed curtailment
Of local control of public
schools.
AS am myself a PTA men,
ber. I was well aware Of PTA
positions when / spoke to the
Arlington Council of PTAs on
April l6. My talk was in
tended to give background on
the respective responsibilities
exercised over public schools
at the several levels. The only
references / made to the recent
school laws were in connec-
ton with the curtailment of
the powers Of local school
boards. Kathryn H. Stone.

got into high gear in front of the
Rockland Palace, and finally
ended at the corner of End and

According to Rogers, he and
the Quartlebaun brothers got
into an argument with Taylor
and two other young men, who
did not appear in court, over a
young woman.
A near fight occurred in front
of the Rockland and later as

to have beaten each of them with
the butt of his gun, and to have
shot in their car.
Taylor, through his attorney,

choice but to dismiss the charges
against Taylor.

war of words. Seemingly, 1t
all started when Jackie Robin
son stated casually that he
thought Roy might not make it

The remark so incensed Roy that
he took off with much pent up
bitterness calling Jackie "un-
grateful" and one "who stirs up

he doesn't know what he's talk

SATCH NOT
READY TO
RETIRE

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Le-
roy (SatcheD Paige, the grand
daddy of baseball didn't bite his
tongue this week as he strongly
emphasized that he definitely sis
not ready to retire from base
ball" and indicated he may go
into semi-pro diamond work.
The versatile and ageless pitch
ing ace, who answers to the age
of 81, had an excellent season
with Miami in the International
League in 1856. Satch chalked up
10 wins against only 4 losses.
Possessing a lifetime record in
baseball that could very well be
the envy of most big league hurl-
ers, Paige expressed an ambition
to return to semi-pro after Is
years and regain the title Of Most
Valuable Player in the annual
national tournament in Wichita,
Kansas.
National Baseball Congress Of
fiicials said that Satch won the
title almost single handedly for
Bismarck, North Dakota, in the
first tournament in 1895. He was
credited with four straight pitch
ing wins in seven games taken by
Bismarck.
His National Baseball Congress
record of an average of Is strike
outs per game down through the
years still stands.
The NBC awarded Paige the
Most Valuable Player" award
for a 20-year period in 1854.
Commenting on his age, Satch
said: "It doesn't do any good for
me to tell my right age. TIE fans
think I'm not telling the truth.
Some Of them even argue that I'm
in my 70's claiming they saw me
pitch back at the turn of the CEN
tury."
