happy parents but, alas, while
Harry was off duty trying to
save the lives of hundreds of
people in a far away village
where there was a fever
epidemic, his own baby be-
came very i'll. The native
nurse who had been left with
Evelyn and the baby used
every resource she knew but
little Doris grew worse; first
there were jerks and then
commissions.
Two native boys went by
foot as fast as they could to
bring Doctor holland to his
child. He arrived late the next
day, diagnosed the case, rea-
lized that there was hardly a
chance to save his baby, but
did the unusual, operated on
his own child.-But we had

After a short association,
Evelyn Stewart and Harry
holland found that they were
kindred souls.
From this point friendship
gradually turned to love and
Evelyn soon became Mrs.
Harry holland, accepting life
in the jungle and becoming a
real partner for better or for
worse.
Following one hardship after
another, Evelyn at times be-
came almost frantic but there
was always something to hold
her by Harry's side.
The natives loved her and
called her "Felembe," which
meant Slim and beautiful.
They were kind to Evelyn and
she was most appreciative.
The coming Of Evelyn's
baby was a great event. It was
a great source Of JOY to the

Designs for schoolhouse
bomb shelters are not yet
available, a county civil de-
fense official told the Board
of Education last week.
Adm. Roy G. Hartwig, deputy
county CD director, said he
hoped plans will be developed so
that prototype shelter could be
installed at one or more schools
in about a year.
Recommendations for
school shelter construction
have been issued recently by
the Civil Defense Advisory
Board of the County Council
and by the County Civic Fed
Grafton.
Hartwig said in his opinion ii
is inevitable that we will have
shelters in county schools. But,
he said, several factors caution
against haste at this time.
Among these. he said, are the
lack of shelter plans and the
failure of Congress so far to
appropriate any funds to assist
in their construction.

Segregation
End is Near
White-NegrO Ratio
OF Three to One
Would Be Set Up
BY a Staff Reporter

A blueprint for completing
integration of county schools
was unveiled before the Board
of Education Monday night.
The plan, presented by special
desegregation committee named
by Superintendent c. Taylor Whit
tier, would allow total integration
by the fall of 1860 or as soon
thereafter as the board and Coun-
ty Council see fit.
Whittier called it "a feasible
plan, both reasonable and prac.
teal"
The proposals were explained
by DR.. Maxwell Burdette, direc-
tor of educational services. Bur-
dette is chairman of the special
committee, which is composed of
40 principals. supervisors and
teachers.
Here are some of the signifi-
cant features Of their plan:
Conversion of two of the
four remaining allNegro elemen-
tary schools - Rock Terrace and
Sandy Spring into special CEN
ters for physically handicapped
children.
Conversion of the other two
all.Negro elementary schools =
Longview and Taylor - into in
tegrated schools.
Alteration Of school dis
trict boundaries where neces-
sary to maintain the ratio Of
Negro to white pupils at max
imtim OF one TO three. (Sueh
move, Burdette said, Is
needed because of resistance
of white parents to sending
their children to a school pre-
doninantly Negro.D
Construction of new class
rooms and other facilities at
many up.county schools in order
TO reduce class sizes to from %
to 28 pupils Gas compared to the
present recommended size Of 30).
Both Burdette and Whittier
stressed the importance of this
latter point TO the success OF any
integration plan.
They noted that up-cOunty
achievement levels, especially
those OF Negro pupils, are now
substantially lower on the aver
age than those In the down
county area.
Smaller classes, by providing
more intensified instruction,
would help correct this inequity,
they predicted.
IF we follow this plan" Bur-
dette said, "it will be possible to
produce a better program with
desegregation than we've ever
had before.
%. We will have a reason for
making change other than a
court decision"
This should relieve any need
to force" integration on unwill-
ing white parents, he said.
But Burdette warned that the
plan will not work unless the
recommended facilities are con-
structed and class sizes can be
reduced.
The needed construction would
cost about S3.2 million above the
amounts recommended by Whit
tier for the 1959-60 capital budg-
ct.
Burdette pointed out, however,
that the facilities will ultimately
be necessary in any event, with
or without integration.
His recommendations thus
amount merely to a speed-up in
construction target dates, he said.

outlined a plan for converting
