Pope John XIII
Will Not Fly in
Plunes Anymore

Pope John XIII said he
probably will not fly any
more. The seventy-seven-year
old supreme head Of the Ro-
man Catholic Church casually
made this known to a group Of
airplane hostesses whom he
received in special audience on
February 9th.
The Pope praised their work
and said, in part I'VE often
travelled by air before becom-
ing Pope, but now we can no
longer use airplanes. We must
take care of the administra-
tive affairs Of the Church"

DR.. BARTLETT DEFENDS PERSONNEL

dent Of the Corporation de-
clared that the policy is not a
new one. 1T is q policy which
has been in effect throughout
all departments Of the Corpo-
ration since 1854. The present
manager Of the Power Depart
ment, Mr.. Elliott II. Gray, is
only reiteratsng and enforcing
a policy which has been laxly
complied with by the EN-
ployees of the st. Thomas
Power Division"
Mr.. Bartlett said that since
assuming the presidency Of
the Corporation in 1853, lit
has been my policy to reduce
and eliminate overtime Wher-
ever possible. Overtime is
costly and can rapidly become
a racket, rather than just
compensation for work per
formed. If there is a continued
need for overtime there must
be a need for additional en-
ployees 70 get the job done. !
am sure you would like to see
employment kept as at a high
level as possible. ! would
much prefer to approach the
problem in this way, rather
than permitting excessive
overtime with q resulting in
crease in costs which in the
case of the Power Department,
can only reflect a higher rate
structure for the consumer. !

in seeing the cost Of electric
power in the Virgin Islands
maintained as low as pos

Ike Will Confer With Herter for New Summit Time

WASHINGTON, LR - President Eisenhower wants to discuss with Secretary of State Herter pos sible new date for an East-West summit conference suggested by Soviet Premier Khrushchev.
 Associate Presidential Press Secretary Anne Wheaton reported this Saturday, but said she was unable to say when the discussion may be held.
 Herter is out of Washingon for the holiday period, and the Presi- dent is scheduled to leave for an Augusta, Ga, vacation.
 Khrushchev accepted Western invitation to a conference in Paris, but rejected the proposed April 27 date He suggested instead that the conference be held either April 21 or May 4.
 In initial reaction to the Khrushchev proposal, some Wash ington officials expressed doubt that either suggested date would be acceptable because of previous commitments by Western officials for those periods.
 The Khrushchev proposal was cabled to Washington by U. s. Ambassador Lewellyn Thompson in Moscow. State Department ex- perts worked Christmas Day to translate the Khrushchev note for Eisenhower.

By LEE BRETON Akron Beacon Journal Writer

AKRON, Ohio, R - The 415- year-old boy edged along fence as he walked to nursery school. He looked as if he had just bitten tart apple.
 Pinned on his sweater was a typed note: Before any pictures are taken, please comb his hair and see that he looks nice. Due to his cold, we were afraid to put a thin dress shirt on him. Thank you.'
 This boy with sad blue eyes carries a load of responsibilities on his 55-pound frame.
 He must keep track of the pump at home, see that it doesn't run too long and raise the electric bill.
 He must know what to do if the hot water heater is boiling.
 He must wake himself on time for nursery school and dress him self.
 He must be able to tell what is in a can at the supermarket by the picture on the label
 He must take care not to move the furniture or appliances from their place.
 He must have patience, loads and loads of it. And he must have forbearance:
 He doesn't always have them. No child would. Perhaps this is why he doesn't smile as often as other youngsers; or hangs back sometimes.
 It is hard for Clarence Stephen Hathaway of nearby Stow to talk to adults - to seek their help. He doesn't talk to his parents. They are both deaf and blind. He has normal senses.
 A quie boy who generally mods or shakes his head to answer, Clarence raised quite a storm when he was born February IT, 1855.
 A shout of indignation arose all over the nation when it was sug- gested it migh be better if he were taken away from his parents. Ju- venile Court Judge Russell w. Thomas decided no on March 7, 1855.
 So Clarence shares dark, silent world of his parents and a bright noisy world of nursery school originates.
 Since he was 2, Clarence has attended nursery school. Now he spends five days a week there, from g am. to 3 pm.
 Win about 300 youngsers, he colors with crayons, sings, marvels at TV, builds with blocks Che likes this best and moldS win play dough.
 Here he can get the teachers attention simply by looking at her He doesn't have to tug her dress.
 He can show his feelings on his face or by the sound of his voice.

The Two Worlds of Clarence Hathaway


 crawIs under a table or pushes over a rubber toy. He can scowl when he pokes and pushes with the other boys, and tell them to stop.
 Clarence enjoys the company of other children. He talks up a storm with other youngsters, but teachers are trying to get him to answer them in words beyond yes and no. He has - once or twice
 He doesn't talk as well as his nursery playmates. His voice, like his parents, has a hollow ring - the tonelessness of the deaf. Some times another will tease him about it. Such is the way of children - and the way of the world.
 But Clarence is making more strides, says Bessie Taylor, nur- sery director. He would not even nod or shake his head at ques- ion when he first arrived. And he would just scribble with crayon on papers. Now he colors artis- tically.
 Those who know him seem to think Clarence will make out all right.
 The clouds over tffe senses of Harold and Georgia Hathaway, Clarence's parents, are more per manent. The mother lost her sight and hearing at 15 through illness
 Hathaway started to lose his hearing when he was II. Then in 1947, lost his eyesight.
 The sunshine in their lives is Clarence. They are proud of him, hold him close to them and fondle his face and hair.
 The Hathaways talk" by writ ing words in each others palms, one letter a time. Boh can type in Braille and Hathaway can use conventional typewriter.
 Clarence, who cannot write yet, has developed his own sign lan- guage for his parents. He. draws circle in their palms if he wants glass of water. A pat of his fathers stomach shows he is hun gry, and a hand on the side of his mothers face means he is ready for bed.
 He tells his parents it's raining by skipping up and down on their wrists.
 Sometimes, he can't reach through the veils of darkness and silence. He may bite his lip and try and try and try.
 He is learning to accept two different worlds. Both have their humor and light, both their un- happiness and shadows.
 In each there is love.

Conforiuns Set The
Record Sfroioht

The Cantorians want everybody
to know that the popular singing
group did not originate at Halle
Q. Brown House, as was stated
in recent story which appeared
in this, and other newspapers, in
connection with publicity for the
Ebony Fashion Fair.
A statement submitted by Ken
meth L. Robinson, cantorfan as
ector this week read:
A STATEMENT FROM
THE CANTORLANS
Recent publicity in your pages
concerning the Ebony Fashion Fair
contained a startling inaccuracy
(we're certain through no fault of
yours, however.) The statement
was made that The Cantorians had
grown out Of Halle @. Brown
Community House. This is not
truei
Some six years ago, Mr.. Alex
ander B. Jordan organized The
Cantorians and the first rehear-
shall was at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Earl MCGEE.
For several months Of our early
existence, we rehearsed wherever
we could find a place; homes Of
m m bers, various Twin City
churches and, occasionally, at
Halle.
Then, Local sic offered US use
of their facilities and we regularity
there until the Union
had to move.
Last year, in desperation for a
place to rehearse, each individual
of The Cantorians took
a membership at Halle Q. Brown
House.
This year, we have a paid-in-full
group membership at the House,
which entities US to rehearse there
once a week.
We also plan to take a similar
group membership at Phyllis
Wheatley House in Minneapolis.
If it were a fact that Halle had
been instrumental in establishing
our group, we would be proud to
give Halle, or any other organ
ization, the credit.
However, we have struggled
hard to get where we are and we
wish 1t to be known that any
measure of success we have at
tanned has come from the fierce
determination of our members
and the response given us by the
public.
We donated our services to the
sponsors Of the Ebony Fashion
Fair to help promote a worthwhile
and charitable endeavor.
