President Urges Gov.
To Aid Oyster Men
CONTINUED from page one)

This unknown phenomenon is
somewhat comparable TO a disease
on land or among humans which
would destroy all the farmers
crops or industry, or the good
health of the community" the
Governor explained
He informed the President that
the State has invested money for
oyster seedlings, and has been
carrying on specific research pro-
jects, but that there have been
heavy financial losses including
capital investments.
Governor Boggs dispatched his
message to President Eisenhower
shortly after the State House of
Representatives completed legisla-
tive approval of joint resolution
serious unemployment problems
created by the decline in the pro-
ductivity of the oyster industry"
and the resolution also endorsed
the proclamation issued by Gov
nor Boggs last Thursday, designa-
ting the oyster industry as dis
aster area. The proclamation also
requests interested private con-
Germs and appropriate state and
federal agencies to combine their
efforts ito prevent the further
spreading of the mortality of oy-
sters" and to develop a program
to sustain and revitalize the in
dustry in Delaware.
Delaware has long been among
the reproducing oyster areas in
the nation. Its annual harvest had
an average annual value of $1,360,
900 through 1856, with an average
annual employment of 5000 men
and women.
The decline of the natural seed
beds of Delaware Bay was first
noted on the New Jersey side in
1857. BY 1858, the disease had
spread to the State of Delaware.
Whereas a one-year harvest of
100000 bushels of marketable oy-
sters had been anticipated that
year, less than 100000 were pro-
duced
Most of the oyster beds are To-
Gated in Delaware Bay, but other
producing areas in the Indian
River and Rehoboth Bay have been
similarly blighted.
The Marine Laboratories of the
University of Delaware undertook
a study of the situation in 1857
and determined that the problem
was due to four interrelated fac
tors; heavy mortality of the seed
oysters during the summer of 1850;
insufficient shells on the bottom
to catch young oysters; lack ~of a
sufficiently large up-bay spawning
population of oysters: and unfavor-
able environmental factors for the
setting of young oysters.
In his request to the President
for the assistance of such federal
agencies as the Fish and Wild Life
Service, the Agriculture Depart
ment, and the Small Business Ad-
ministration, Governor Boggs said,
Hardship and unfortunate con-
sequences have resulted from this
unknown disaster causing the af-
fected area and industry not only
to be depressed, but really des-
troyed."
The Governor added, ST respect
fully request and express the hope
that it might be permissible under
the law for the President to recog-
nize officially this disaster and de-
pressed situation in the oyster in
dustry as it affects the State of
Delaware. Such recognition on be-
half of, the federal government
would bring the full available for
ces into play to help sustain and
revitalize a great and important
segment of our economy-the oy-
ster industry"

Admit 8 Kirkland Children

A problem that has beset
Chardon and Kirkland School
Boards for some time is al

was reported at a meeting
Wednesday night of the Ge.

1t arose through the trans.

Issues Ultimatum

The eighth child is the son
of Walter Goodfield who has
sought the board several tim
es to admit him. He has is
sued an ultimatum that "his
child will be waiting at the
bridge for the school bus and
had better be picked up"
Chardon board will a d m t
him If Kirkland board will re-
lease him as 1t did the other
children, officials said. Supt.
Garfield said this admittance
for the children is only on a
one year basis.
Certifies Levies
The board voted to certify
to the board of elections for
the November ballot an adj
ditional two mill levy for
two years, and a renewal of
four mills for five years for
operating expenses.
The new Maple Ave. School
has attracted wide attention
| because of its design a nd
beauty. The July issue of the
Ohio Architect, reported to
the board that the addition is
not finished, but nearly so,
with some minor jobs and
the fact that glass for t h e
south windows, ordered some
time ago, has not arrived
''It will take some pushing to
finish" said Sidells. Supt.
Garfield will open the build
ing for pupils Sept. 8.
/ No Bus Loop
The board has abandoned
the idea Of having a loop
bus system in Chardon Will
age to pick up kindergarten
children. Children attending
are to come to E. Park st.
school and will be taken by
bus to the Chardon Ave. build
ing and returned to the E.
Park school.
The 18 Chardon school bus
ses recently inspected b y
State Highway patrolmen are
| pronounced satisfactory.
Some money was saved for
the board by drivers w ho
made minor repairs.
The board got brand new
question posed. A mother of
twins asked If the regular
fee for bus transportation for
them could be split.
Chardon Savings Bank was
named depository for the
school funds for two years.
AS the account is commerci-
al, no interest Is paid.
The board adopted the 28th
of each month as official pay
day for salaried employees
and teachers.

Poor M. Popon!

There are those no doubt who will
speak admiringly of Monsieur Papon,
Project of Paris Police, for proclaiming
Silence Week in that lovelieSt of cities.
They are the ones, of course, who have
approved the effort to make the Paris
taxi merely vehicle for tranSport-to
remove it from its honored role as pri-
marily noise making instrument in
the symphony that rules the day and
night in the vibrant heart of France"
They are the ones now who have brought
M. Papon to this new extreme by COM
planning Of the noise levels attained
sometimes only with great ingenuity
on the part Of drivers-by motor bikes,
scooterS, sport cars and the like.
One must share in this admiration
of M. Papon's courage. But courage,
after all, should not necessarily be given
its full head to plunge man of au-
thority into foolhardiness. It has not
been in silence, or anything close to it,
that Paris has become the Western
worlds Mecca for artists, writer's and
scholars, for bon wants and gourmets,
for tourists Of every nationality-in-
Guiding the French. A week, perhaps,
all well and good, M. Papon, If you can
make 1t. But let reason rule in this
temptation to tamper further with the
old and new sounds of your gay capital.

Elizabeth on Tour

Since ascending the throne in 1852,
Queen Elizabeth has done far more
travelling than any other British mon
apch in history. Between then and
nav, she has visited such places Ito
name but a few as Bermuda, Fiji,
New Zealand, Australia, Ceylon, Ugan-
da, Norway, Nigeria, France, the United
States and Holland. At the moment
accompanied by her indefatigable hus-
band, Prince Philip-she Is on a As
day Canadian trek to mark the formal
opening of the st. Lawrence Seaway.
Later this week, she and President
Eisenhower will meet near Montreal
to preside over some international
pleasantries. Meanwhile, although a
few reporters have ungallantly de-
scribed her as frequently being dis
enchanted with all this traipsing about,
we should like to hail Her Majesty.
AS far as we can see, nobody holds up
as well as she does, so charmingly, on
trips that are quite wearing, physically,
mentally and spiritually. In that sense,
apart from her other fine attributes,
she may well be described as the dream
girl Of tourism.

nounced shift be given a formal public
hearing. We concur in the proposal. Ac-
cording to story in Saturdays Star,
the route for the highway between the
airport and washington has been
changed from the originally publicized
course through a sparsely developed
part Of the county to location that will
destroy or damage a number Of fine
homes in the Holly Hills-Spring Lake
Chapel Hill area. First notice of the
change came in the form of condem-
nation proceedings against surprised
homeownerS.
Officials of the Federal Aviation
Agency, which is in charge Of the prof.
ect, have explained that the shift was
made after a survey showed that the
route initially designated on the charts
was "too rugged" for economical con-
struction of the highway. But citizens
committee protesting the shift asserts
that the extra bill for condemning valu-
able residential property would cost
the taxpayers much more In the end.
The economy question aside, how
ever, we think the protesting citizens
deserve a chance to be heard in full
before the Government moves further
to seize their homes. Certainly every
effort ought to be made to pick route
that will destroy as little of the i'm
proved property as possible.

We congratulate the dele

luton to stand behind the

fusing diplomatic recognition

China. 1t is extremely help
full when our religious lead

heavily for moral strength
and guidance. throw their
weight against Offering the
cloak of responsibility to such

Wouldn't we have an al
most indomitable force If all.
or even the majority, of our
great religious groups could
somehow band togeth err
against any weakening of our
stand against the atheistic
enemies Of our free world?

There Is something gro
tesque in the statement of
NAACP attorney Oliver w.
Hill on the closing of schools
in Prince Edward County,
Virginia: 1--WE believe that
public education is the cor
nerstone Of American democ-
racy. and we propose to
pursue every legal and con-
stitutional means to preserve
it in Prince Edward and
everywhere in Virginia"
Was it not equally i'm
portant to preserve public
education when the NAACP
first started agitating in
Prince Edward?
How many people really
believe that the aim of the
NAACP has been to pre-
serve" public education in
Virginia?
The timing Of the NAACP's
concern over the continuance
OF public education in Vir-
ginia is most interesting. It
leaves little to the magma
ton. Mary Ellen Bishop.

Bipartisan Ambush

1.-The Democratic leadership in Con-
greSs, particularly in the Senate, would
lbe justified in asking protection from its
friends in order to deal with its enemies.
IT might, in fact, be insure which is
Thich-except for the partisan labels
yaat are attached to much Of the cross
IRE from left and right that is being d.
rected at the record of the 86th Congress
and those held most responsible for it.
With this identification, however, the
heaviest barrage is coming from quar-
tiers either officially Democratic or clear
ly allied with the majority party. The
hre@from Republican outpoSts is mild,
or at least less personal, by comparison.
Over the past weekend, two organ
izationS wearing the liberal" uniform
the Americans for Democratic Action
and the National Committee for an Eff
fective CongreSs-took their turns on
the firing line with Senate Majority
Eeader Johnson as the prime target.
Their complaint - Spiced with such
terms as surrender, retreat and accom-
rnodation-was that the party leader
ship in Congress is showing callous
disregard of the country's needs and
has entered into some sort of volun-
tafy imprisonment by .reactionary Re-
puhlicans and Democratic right-wing-
er& AS it happens, this is not too diff
ferent from the Sorrowful findings a
fe& days earlier by the Democratic
Advisory Councillor even the earlier
accusations by individual Senators pro-
testing the Johnson technique Of lead
ership. From the opposite front, the
Republican strategy has been to spread
their fire from charges Of budget
busting" to ones of "won't-do" Con-
gress.
In spite of this effort at political am
bush, it is likely that neither Mr.. john
son nor Speaker Rayburn is deeply
disturbed The former sat through most
Of the revolt" against his leadership
before replying sarcastically, but briefly.
As FOR accommodation" 1t has been
demonstrated that the Democrats, even
with their large majorities, are not in
position to run rough-shod over preSi-
DENTAL vetoeS. To the Republican
"woh't-do" charge, Mr.. Johnson has
replied with full schedule of legisla-
ton on which he expects action-while
making it clear that Congress will
be here until the job is done. Unless
the bitter fight on the Strauss case car
rieS over to other issueS-a possibility
which both Mr. Johnson and Senate
Minority Leader Dirksen minimize-the
tracks are clear for legislative perform
ance. If this involves more compromise
and reconciliation than the extremist
critics approve, It can still be in keeping
with the Nations needs and with the
historic workings Of our two-party sys-
TEN of government.
