The Georgetown School justified
news headlines in two separte fields
as it Teopened for the 1888 year
last week.
The enrolment topped the pre-
dicted total and it was found that
extensive damage had been done by
Tuesday nights electrical storm.
Lightning had apparently struck
the brick chimney in the original
central section of the school con-
structed in 1882. causing many
bricks to fall on the school roof. The
roof was badly damaged.
George H. Keen, superintendent
of schools, said that no effort had as
yet been made to estimate the exact
damage but that the school was
fully covered by insurance. He said
that it might be necessary to build
an entire new roof.
In the enrolment field. the school
authorities had predicted that to-
tai registration would top 1900 for
the first time in school history.
At noon of the first day, the en-
enrolment was already 1,248, with
later registrations anticipated.
The Georgetown Kiwanis Club re-
ceived notice from promotional
firm in Ohio, that 1858 would mark
the 275th birthday of Sussex Coun-

and discussion followed. Robert
Snowden was appointed a commit
tee of one to investigate.

My people hear Gods man today
We have got to love We one an
other it's a fact
God is calling for a Christian
family
And He didn't mention white or
black.
When Christ said for US to love We
one another
1t was not the color of no man
It's all who was born of the spirit
of God
Have a home with, the Father
above the land.
Why do some people hate others
They have not been born again
Born of the spirit of God the
Father
And free from a world of sin.
Most people are full of the world
To-Day
And lovers of money as we'll
The love of money is the root of
all evil
Are you on your way to Heaven
CIR He'll.
1t is easy to live a Christian
Some people say it is hard
Christ said my loke is easy
And the way of transgression is
hard.

In his endorsement, Mr.. Meany
urged unions to contribute gener-
ously to the $2,000,000 appeal on
behalf of its 81 member colleges.
these colleges represent vital
source of leadership for 16 mil
lion Americans and for the nation
at large" Mr.. Meany said. "In a
period when the nation is making
great strides in improving inter-
racial understanding, the import
,nce of this fact cannot be under
estimated.
"In common with all American
colleges, the participating colleges
of the Fund, which comprise an in
tegral part of our system of high
er education, are confronted with
rapidly increasing enrollments.
They must help meet this demand
of the young people for better
training"

have been organized in more than

African Vote 49,.
Continued from PAGE One)

But it is realized that, despite
any reservations, introduction of
self-government cannot be delayed
in view of the irresistible wave
of nationalism sweeping the world
and pressing for independence, pre-
pared or not.
Some observers feel that the adj
vanced nations of the West should
not be too concerned about the alb
stentions, considering their own
voting record. Given the lack of ex-
perience of the African voters,
their lack of education to under
stand the issues, the long distances
involved and the number of no.
madic tribes - and the abstentions
should cause no alarm.
The reasons given for the abb
stentions in the African elections
may sound familiar to inhabitants
of some of the most advanced
communities of the world. "The
vote was for personalities rather
than issues" There were regis
tration difficulties" and at doesn't
mean anything, for everything will
go on as before"-these indeed are
excuses for not voting that make
as much sense in Paris, London or
New York as in Oubangui-C Chair.

the personalities" returned in

Before the reform, under which
this was the first election to be

Ford Foundation
Grants SIS Million
Toad College
Teacher Training

New York, April 8-The Ford
Foundation announced yesterday a
$25,000,O00 grant to help train col
lege teachers.
The foundation said it was the
largest gift ever made in this
country to encourage students to
go into college training. In 1855
the foundation gave 100000 900
to help raise the level of faculty
salaries in private colleges and uni
versities.
The new Ford gift will go to ex-
tend and develop the National
Woodrow Wilson Fellowship Pro-
gram. The program was estab-
lished at Princeton University in
1915, to encourage gifted college
graduates to embark upon studies
leading toward a doctorate.
A year ago the project moved to
the University of Michigan campus.
The foundation will pay the univer-
sity 100000 to operate the pro-
gram.
Graduate fellowships to poten-
tial college teachers will be pro-
vided at the rate of 1000 year
for the next five years. The awards
are expected to average $4,000,
and will take $11, OOO, 900 of the
total grant
A total of 100000 more will
go to universities to assist gradu-
ate students beyond the first year.
The foundation will give the col
leges $4,000 for each Woodrow
Wilson fellow who enrolls. Three
fourths of this amount must be
used for financial aid to graduate
students, particularly in their final
year. The students will be expected
to take their doctoral degrees.
In this way more doctoral stu
dents will be developed. A college

Comeback Tough
Saws Edna McGriff

Detroit - The return road to
success is always harder than the
original trip says 21-year-old sing
er Edna McGriff, now making her
show business comeback at the
Flame Show bar.
Fame came her way early. Back
in 1851 she had an idea and song.
With the help of a Harlem disc
jockey she got record contract
and recorded Heavenly Father,
a tune she wrote and sang.
Hitting the million mark the
tune established her on the big
time. Bookings in niteclubs and
theatres brought her weekly earn
ings up to $500. People stopped
her on the street for her auto
graph.
But two years ago she retired
from the world of bright lights
and applause to have child. Be-
ing a housewife somehow didn't
erase the thoughts of show bust
ness from her mind and five months
ago she took her music and gowns
out of the trunk.
When she felt she was ready to
return she signed contract with
the Gale agency and they started
booking her in niteclubs. Although
she's remembered by some people,
quite few of today's youngsters
on the rock and roll kick never
heard the name Edna McGriff.
But that isn't getting her down.
Owners of niteclubs and theatres
where she's appeared since jan
uary are enthusiastic in their
praise of her work and say that
she's matured in voice and improv-
ed in style since her first rise to
fame five years ago. On the stage
she injects plenty Of soul into her
songs and older nitaclub audiences
J go for her torch tunes.
