The red hammer and sickle
flag of Russia will fly from
historic Blair House, the
Presidents guest house, when
Nikita S. Khrushchev and his
family stay there this week:
From the windows of the
green-shuttered, four-story,
stucco-faced house, stepped
in ITS years of Americana,
Mr. Khrushchev can look
across the street to the White
House.
Presidents, kings and po-
tentates have slept in Blair
House. The latest was young
King Baudouin of Belgium.
Others have been Queen
Elizabeth of England and
colorful King Saud of Saudi
Arabia. who repeatedly had
three guards sleep on a rug
outside his bedroom door.
Another top Russian once
slept there too-V. M. Molo-
toy, who now is somewhat
out of favor with Khru-
shchev and is stationed in
outer Mongolia.
Sentry House
A small sentry house is
erected outside Blair House
for part of the heavy security
guard for the visiting Soviet
premier.
For this is the place where
two fiery Puerto Rican revo-
lutionairies shot their way
to the doorstep in 1850, trying
to kill President Harry S.
Truman.
Mr.. Truman, temporarily
in residence there while the
White House was being re-
constructed, was taking a nap
at the time and escaped in
jury. Security people in
Washington probably will
never forget the incident, in
which one Secret Service
guard was killed and two
others wounded.
The KhruShchevs will get
their first meal on American
soil at Blair House-a pri-

Everyone Worked
On Saturdays To
Get Schools Ready

Private schools have been dis.
cussed in our community for about
five years. Liberty School actually
came into existence September TO-
1859. Much planning and much hard
work have made our school posi-
BILE.
When we knew that our public
schools would not be available this
term, the possibility Of using our
church was discussed at our P-TA
meeting. This was brought before
the congregation and it was will
ingly agreed that the church could
be. used and that the necessary
changes could be made.
Many committees were formed to
take care of these changes. Some
OF the changes that have taken
place are doors cut into partitions ),
fire escape built. new outside door
cut to meet requirements of fire
safety. hinges changed on all out
side doors so that they open out
ward; furnace cased, water foun-
tains installed: boys bathroom
added. drain field extended church
completely rewired, with many new
lighting fixtures added; black
boards put on wall of every class
room; and handrails added to stair
ways.
Many other essential things have
been done by our parents and
friends. Buses were bought and
many long hours Of work were do
mated to get these busses ready for
opening day. Desks were somehow
procured for each grade. from the
second through the seventh Our
own books were moved into the
church
After all of this was done, then
came the job of Strengthening and
cleaning, getting ready for the open
ing of our first private school. Many
people gathered at the church on
practically every Saturday for two
months before the opening day,
working on the various things TO
be done. On the Saturday before
the week Of opening. men, women
and children worked very hard
and cleaned and cut the entire
church yard and cemetery. so that
it would be neat for opening day.
At nine o'clock on September 10.
1859, Liberty School was officially
declared opened for the 1889 1860

Many Changes In
New School; Plans
To Work Harder

To a person from another section
it would be hard to realize the
many changes which have occurred
and which l found had taken place
when l entered school for the 1883
60 session.
In the face of forced indignation
the board Of supervisors of Prince
Edward County cut off all funds
for public schools for the year 1889
60, this ending publicly supported
education for this county
The Prince Edward School Foun-
dalton. having been organized prior
to this event, Immediately went into
action. making plans for private
education. The members Of Liberty
Christian Church of Green Bay Of
fered their building for our educa-
tional facility.
In order to meet state and fire
regulations some changes had to be
made. Volunteer workmen gathered
to make the necessary changes. One
additional outside door had to be
installed All outside doors had to
be made to open out. Double doors
had to be installed between two
rooms.
A water fountain was installed
Blackboards We're placed in each
room. Registers had to be PIT in
the floor Of the second story room
Hand rails were installed on all
stairs. One additional bath was put
in. A fire escape was built from
ground TO second story A fire re-
sisting wall was built around the
furnace.
