When the birds came back from
the south we were so glad to see
and hear them that we wanted to
find out more about them.
In our science books we learned
that each bird has the kind of beak,
feet, and wings that best helps it
get its food.
We looked at film strips which
showed many other interesting
things.
We learned the names of some
birds and drew pictures of them.
Then we used our books to find out
about their food and nests.
Some of US brought in nests and
eggs that had fallen from a tree.
Each one of us made a book in
which we put the pictures we made
and the stories we wrote about
them.
Here are two poems we made.
Birds can fly high.
They can fly low.
And they know
They can fly
Where they want to go.
High up in the sky
The birds go by.
Most birds sing
When it is spring.
May twentieth was Play Day. We
went to the Lulu M. Ross School in
buses. Those of who walk liked the
bus ride.
We met some old friends and
made new ones.
What fun we had playing! Then
we got in the buses and came back
to school happy and ready for
lunch.

Dear Readers:
Mrs. Derrickson's sixth grade has
bought a reproduction of "Gau-

Last fall we went to Miss Nit
chell's Office in Dover. We selected
different paintings. We wrote to
four art studios and got prices. We
finally picked out "Gaugain's White
Horse" We sent the reproduction
to Mr. Williams Manual Training
Shop. The boys made frame for
it. 1t was then turned over to Mrs.
Kunkle and Mrs. Derrickson to cut
a mat for it. Mrs. Kunk1e cut a
mat, framed it, and put glass over
it.
1t is going to be presented to
Mr.. Kerr, our school principal, to
hang in the lobby of the Lulu M.

Mrs. Derrickson and the class are
very fond of paintings. Even if you

Grade g. Mrs. Loretta Baynum
At our regular Friday classroom
club meeting Charles Draper, our
president, appointed a five mem
Der committee to discuss a way to
use our club money and report
their findings back to the club.
The club wanted to donate a
useful gift to some worthy chari-
table organization in Milford. The
members of the committee were:
Billy Haughey, Debbie Belts, Di-
anne Billings, Esther Bontrager
and Terry Jaywork.
The committee selected the Mil
ford Memorial Hospital as the or
ganization and appointed Terry
Jaywork to write a letter and find
out what we could buy for the hos
pital.- The following letter was
written by Terry:
Dear Head Nurse:
Our class has saved about $500
and we are considering buying
something for the hospital. Can
you tell me of anything the hospi-
tai could use which our class could
afford to buy.
Can you answer this immediate
ly so we will have your answer for
our next meeting which is Friday
Kindly send your reply to: Mrs
Loretta Baynum, 6-1, Lakeview
Elementary School, Milford, Della
ware.
Thank you.
J. Terence Jaywork
We received the following reply
from the hospital and after a brief
discussion, the club decided to buy
the stethoscrOpes.
Dear Mrs Baynum:
We appreciate the offer made by
your class very much. There are
several things that they could buy
for the hospital The three things
in particular are listed below and
they could choose which they
would like to purchase.
One painting to put on the wall,
One stethoscope for examination of
patients or One chrome footstool
for patients.
Sincerely yours,

this type of fruit growing in 1916.
The AZ growers in 1916 reported
$3.50 acres of apple trees and the
16 growers in 1858 reported 81 ,569
trees, or about 1,289 acres, indicat-
ing about one-third the number of
growers and trees as there were
in 1916.
The 1850 census indicated 144,-
097 trees, which included CONNER
cial growers and many others, in
cluding small home orchards. This
would indicate a decrease from
1916 figures.
The 1854 census reported 52,S1S
trees on 1877 farms, indicating that
the apple trees declined slightly
from 1916 to 1850 and rapidly from
1850 to 1854.
Three quarters of all apple trees
in Delaware are on large CONNER
-cial farms of $500 or more trees,
indicating that the small :. apple
producer has disappeared in Della
ware.
At present most apple trees in
Delaware fall in the IL to 26 year
group, the most profitable bearing
period.

Our Trip to Washington. ID. C.
On our trip to Washington, D. c.,
we visited many places. We visited
Mount Vernon first 1t was very in
teresting and beautiful. Some of
the things we saw at Mount YER
non were: the harpsichord in the
Music Room Nellie Custis used to
play it,, The West Parlor, the Ban
Quet Room, the Washington Bed
room. and an old globe and desk
in the Library.
We went to the National Airing
ton Cemetery. There we saw the
changing of the guards at the tomb
of the Unknown Soldier.
We saw the Amphitheatre where
many important speeches are made.
Then we went to the Lincoln Me-
mortal and the Capitol. In the Cap
| itol we saw the Senate and House
of Representatives chambers. On
our visit we also went to the Ma
tional Archives Building. There
we saw the original Declaration of
independence, the Constitution, and
the Bill of Rights. There we saw
other original documents.
When riding through the city we
saw the White House, the Taft Me-
mortal, the Washington Monument
the Jefferson Memorial, the Pen
tagon, and the Masonic Temple.
I'm sure that all of the class
enjoyed our trip to Washington, d.

of the facts of life by Virginia's
Gov. j. Lindsay Almond, that the
rights of Negroes must be re-
spected and that school integra-
ton is the law of the land, poses
some interesting problems in the
study of political personality.
Can a Southern politician - rea-

actually convince his constitut-
ents that segregation is d d?
And can such politician survive
in politics?
Almonds whole approach to
this problem has fascinating as
poets which, when examined elm

ton of the political mind at work.
This is what happened:
Last Fall Almond and the

that Sen. Harry F. Byrd's mas
sive resistance" laws must be
tested in the State courts as well
as face inevitable challenge by
NAACP in the federal courts.
Some shrewd observers of Vir-
ginia politics wrote at the time
that Almond was looking for a
face-saving way to sound retreat
in the fight against school inte-
grafton. They felt he was deter
mined not to behave as Arkan-

and their confederates, comrades

will destroy every rational SEM

CONFLICT OF INTEREST? -
Sen. Thomas j. Dodd, the newly
elected Democrat from Connecti-
cut disclosed the other day that
he was attorney for the Guata-
malan government, after that
country with us. add got rid of
its leftist administration.
Back in June, 1856 Dodd was
sponsor of an amendment to the
Mutual Security Act to increase
Guatemal's portion of foreign aid
from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000.
That was while he was a con-
gresham.
Under the contract he held
with the Guatemalans, Dodd was
to be paid 100000 for two
year period and the money was
to be payable in advance.
Dodd signed the contract with
the Guatemalans four months af-
ter his term as a Connecticut con-
gresham ended. He terminated
his new agreement on Nov. 5,
1853 = the day after his election
to the Senate.
Giving up the contract means
that Dodd will lose SAL ,666 still
due him.
THE YSTIFYING BE
HAVIOR OF GOV. ALMOND =
The spectacle of a tortured man
in public office is never pretty
to behold. When a man of indie
cision becomes Governor of a
great state, with a long tradition
that goes back to the American
Revolution and beyond, as is now
the case with Virginia, the sight
is sometimes absolutely shatter-
ing.
j. Lindsay Almond was At
torney General of Virginia before
he became Governor. Compared
to some of the men who occupi-
ed the Executive Chambers at.
Richmond, Almond was COM
paratively independent of the
Byrd machine. He was not an
outspoken independent, but he
did occasionally associate him
self from some of the excuses OF
that benighted organization.
Eleven days before the Vir-
GINA Supreme Court of Appeals
conservative judicial body
If there ever was one - joined
the us. Supreme Court in strik-
ing down the Old Dominlon's
massive resistance laws, the
Governor met with CHS Cores

X X X
In an interview recorded on
that occasion, Almond readily
conceded that if the state court
knocked out the massive resls-
lance" legislation certain schools
in the state would be permitted
some degree of indignation. AS
q Almond put it there would prob.
. ably be indignation in the case OF
Negro students whose rights
had already been adjudicated."

Railway Dollars
stayed home!

THE RAILROAD that Serves the South"
is more than mass transportation service
vital to the economic development OF the
young and fast growing Southland. To the
hundreds Of communities along its lines.
Southern Railway is an important hometown
industry, too.
Many of the dollars that the railroad receives
from its customers in a community never
leave town. They stay home to create jobs,
to buy goods and services of all kinds
and to help pay local taxes. Of every 500
the Southern received last year in Revenues,
$8605 was paid out for wages, materials and
supplies and taxes. SIS million went for state
and local taxes alone. n
A good share of all Of our dollars are stay
at-home dollars that stimulate local business
and contribute to the economic well-being
of the territory we serve.
Not only is the s, l0O-mile Southern System
one of the Southlands largest industries. It
is hundreds of local industries as well, that
benefit the Southern's friends and neighbors
throughou the South.
