major factor in determining the
fate of public high school edu-
cation in the county. Mr.. Lead
man, whose union is the major
supporter Of the present private
school operation, said that If
the referendum fails he would |
withdraw his personal support
for private schooling plans.
THE referendum will be a
direct test of whether the
people want an integrated pub
lie high school or a private
system which will return con-
troll of education to the people"
he said.
Sheriff Slaughter said, how
ever, that even if the move to
sell the school fails, there like
| ly will be some private classes
set up next year.
Group Meets Monday
A group of about IS active in
the referendum move have
called a public meeting for
Monday night to discuss their
proposal.
The board of directors Of the
private Educational Foundation
has called a meeting for May
% when the membership will
vote on whether the foundation
will be continued.
Duncan Glib, chairman Of
the foundation, said the board
has steered clear Of making any
recommendation. He pointed
out that it originally was set up |
to take care of the emergency
situation created when the high |
school was closed under massive
resistance laws and the
students had no place to go.
He said that if it appears
feasible" to operate a private,
segregated system, the mem
bership probably will vote to
continue. He said the member
ship could vote to continue in
operation long enough to take |
a study of the feasibility of set
ting up a private system next
year.
Mr.. Glib said it would be
possible again to use makeshift |
facilities but this would not |
be desirable as a permanent ar
rangement." The classes now
are being held in church build
ings, a converted house, and a |
lodge hall.
Sees No Conflict
Mr.. Glib said he had not
been approached on the school
sale referendum, but he said
there was mo conflict" between
that group and the foundation.
So far, the cause of public
education has had little public
backing except from a small
group of citizens on the Com
mittee for Public Education.
Privately, however, a few COM
munity leaders are trying to or
ganize opposition to private
school plans for next year, es-
pecially the move to sell the
school.
Here are some of the nom
educational effects the integra-
ton issue has had on the
community.

Observance Of the Tooth year
Of operation Of q lighthouse at
Fenwick Island, at Delaware's
southeastern extremity has
served to focus attention upon
q little publicized but growing
coastal resort lying between
the larger. more publicized re-

and Ocean City, Md.
Located on a low. scrub

it has appeared in many q

habitants and was. at times
barely accessible.
In these earlier days, pirates
ravaged the coast and this, to-
gether with its remoteness and
rugged appearance, hardly
served to attract many pros
pective settlers. The few hearty
souls inhabiting the sandy,
water-locked coastal strip raised
some cattle but mostly de-
pended upon the sea for their
existance.
Early History
At first only a few scattered
houses marked the site Of to-
days Fenwick Island. To these
were added dwellings for light:
house personnel after construc-
ton Of the lighthouse.
Then, in 1898, a camp meet
ing was founded near the light
house and this soon developed
into about so small cottages
Several additional cottages on
the beach front subsequently
appeared.
In the last i've years. Fen
wick Island has made tremen-
dous strides forward. Modern
motels and restaurants have
been constructed and Fenwick
Island has become a favored
recreational spot Of an increas-
ing number of vacationists who
enjoy its fine beach and quiet
atmosphere just a short drive
north or south, from larger,
more populous resorts. Several
large developments have ap.
peared. some offering small
boat anchorage in backyard

meet with inland waterways.

Best answer to last weeks
query about freighter
travel, sent by J. L. M. Of
Arlington, Va. comes
from r. p. B. of Washing
ton, who writes:
ITO enjoy travel by
freighter, you have to pre-
pare yourself in advance
not to expect the fancy
treatment you get on the
big ocean liners.
However, travelling by
freighter is much more
comfortable than it used
to be. The cabins are
more spacious and the
beds are more comfortable.
You will be travelling with
a much smaller group (the
usual modern freighter has
a dozen cabins). It is a
coy way to go.
Most of the regular
steamship passenger COM
panies also have freighters
going to various places.
Your best bet is to contact
one of the big lines. such
as Grace Line, for your
proposed trip to South
America.

advantage in freighter
travel is that dates are not
always fixed, and you may
have to adjust your plans"
