ports TO the assembly on We'd

See Issue Raised
II this happens. a full fiedged
debate could follow on a matter
which has nothing whatever TO
do with the real business at
hand. And since they hope 20
avoid this. neutralist delegates
are harshly critical Of the re-
cent State Department defense
OF its non-recognition OF Red
China which. they feel. has
raised the issue unnecessarily.
In itself. perhaps. the appar-
ent indifference Of neutral del
egations at the opening Of the
debate may not be a wholly
unhealthy sign. Virtually all OF
the delegates here see the OPEN

high proportion Of wasted
breath. But when the propa-
ganda show is over. when the

ing come to an end. there may
still be an opportunity to do
something constructive about
the problems Of the Middle
East.
This. It seems. is at least the
hope Of some Of the less COM
mitted delegations gathering
here. And II, in the meantime,
they seem somewhat aloof to

Clara BartOn's P-TA Mardi
Gras went off on May 10 in a
heart-Warrming aura of coopera-
ton, even from the weather man.
Although the student body at the
school is smaller than it has been.
since 1850, there were the usual
Woodworking crew of parents.
Just about every kind of fair ac-
tivity, from fish-pond to water
pistols and from hot-dog to hand
made aprons, entieed the public.
And there seemed to be plenty
of public. In spite of numerous
competing activities, both local
and down town, a goodly crowd
milled around the playground and
auditorium throughout the after
noon. Multitudes of former Clara
Barton youngsters who now at
tend Bannoekburn School, came
back for a gay fling at the booths
and nostalgia look at the build
ing. Their parents came along,
too, greeting old friends and
watching everybody work, in be-
tween purchases.
Gross receipts reached an en-
couraging level in the course of
the afternoon.
Yearly Music Festival will be
given at Clara Barton this week,
too. Friday morning all the
youngsters will show off their
musical accomplishments, class
by class. Folk dances, songs, and
Instrumental pieces by the band
and orchestra will demonstrate
to parents and friends how the
children have progressed in these
arts during the year.
Walter Johnson High School
has been showing off the arts,
too. Its performances of The
