etc. The work must be completed
within $50 days and all work is to
be shut down from December l
through May IA.

Worry For School

With still one vacancy remain
ing on the staff of the local high
school, Southern prepared to open
its doors to approximately 1140

Of great concern to the local

ing w. Kenneth Johns. principal,
indicated that foods served in the
cafeteria might be limited to sand
wiches and milk. Everything pos
sible will be done to limit the use
of water" Mr.. Johns stated. 1T

with the Mayor and Town Council
of Oakland. One of the largest con-
sumers of water at the school is the
dishwashing machine. Paper plates
may be used for a few days" he
said.
Use of showers is to be elimi-
mated, temporarily, too.

Water Situation Is
Not Much Improved

There was only a slight improve
ment in the water supply for the
town of Oakland this week, and
this hinged on the confirmation of
hauling it to Oakland by tank
truck.
After receiving an o. K. from
J. R. McComaS, sanitary engineer
for the State health department,
the water committee on Tuesday
began hauling water from Herring
ton Creek, above the swimming
area, and adding it to the system
at the spring house. Yesterday
some 10000 gallons of water was
hauled. This will continue until
further notice.
The Water committee will dis
cuss the impeachment on Broad
ford at meeting with the Soil
Conservation department and
State Health Department on Sep
TENDER %. Kendall Jarvis. of the

cool.

63 New Properties
Put on Tax Rolls

SiXty-three additional properties
have been placed on the tax books
since the first of the year, and
owners of these new holdings will
receive tax bills, it was announced
this week by Joseph H. WEIGH

This is because of a Senate bill,
No. Ali, which amended portion
of section 81 of article 81 of the
Code of 1857, and concerns COM
pletely new properties.
Notification of the new law with
instructions for carrying out its
provisions was received by the
county treasurer from William H
Riley. chief supervisor of assess
ments from the State Department
of Assessments and taxation.
WEIGH said the local assessment
office had turned over to him the
assessments on 63 new properties
that come, under this pro-
vision. Amount of the assessable
basis is S209,400, which amounts to
a total of SASS in additional taxes,
or approximately S6650 on an aver
age from each taxpayer. Mr.. Welch
said the tax bills for one half years
assessment would be mailed out
this week to the sixty-three per-
sons involved. The law deSignates
no discount or no interest on these

tIonal progress. IN meeting the

tional progress. In meeting the
Russian leader. President de
Gaulle after all is only putting
himself In the same boat with
Mr.. Macmillan and President
Eisenhower. And the timing of
the projected visit, though still
vaguely fixed within the COM
ing weeks" Is logical enough
reason for shelving plans for
an early summit conference.
There is some question. Of
course, whether the results Of
his meeting with Mr.. Khru-
shchev will be quite as jolly
as those Of Mr.. Macmillan's
pilgrimage TO Moscow or the
talks at Camp David between
Mr.. Eisenhower and the Rus
sian leader. OF all the Western
leaders, Gen. de Gaulle has the
sternest views on how to cope
with the Russian threat to
Berlin. On the problem Of dis
armament. he is not interested
in any discussion about halt
ing nuclear tests at a time
when France is preparing to
explode Its first bomb. And 1t
may be that he viii have some
rather disagreeable things to
say about Communist support
of the rebellion in Algeria.
Test for Khrushchev
In brief, his encounter with
Gen. de Gaulle is likely to be
the severest test so far of
Mr.. Khrushchev's new spirit of
internati on al goodfellowship.
And whatever 1t may contrib
ute toward an eventual gath
Fering at the summit, the meet
! ing should be far from dull.
When 1t comes to the mo-
tives behind Gen. de Gaulle's
move there is no doubt that
Evening star., 1959-10-22

Evening star., 1959-10-22

the element Of prestige was
q major consideration. Gen.
de Gaulle Is no man to over
look any opportunity Of max
ing people sit up and take no.
tice-even unfavorable notice
Of his country. In this case,
with Premier Khrushchev's
cooperation, he has done ex-
actly the two things best CAL
culated TO remind everyone
that France is a full-fiedged
member in the club OF great
powers.
To write of his decisions as
a simple weight-throwing ex-
ercise, however would be to un-
derestimate the character Of
the man involved. Irritating
as they may be to some people,
Gen. de Gaulle's ideas about
how international affairs should
be conducted are very Arm
indeed. And no one-including
Mr.. Khrushchev-is likely to
make him change them easily.

De GouIIe Manages
To Disorm His Critics

Gen. de 0aulle after all ia
committed to the principle Of
continuing East-West talks
that British Prime Minister
Macmillan himself launched
last spring.
This reading. 1t may be noted,
is perhaps somewhat optimistic.
In It's communique yesterday
the French government did in
deed willingly accept" the idea
Of q spring summit in principle,
But the condition heavily EN-
phasized throughout was that
the Russians In the intervening
months must give convincing
proof Of their willingness to
relax international tensions
throughout the world. The
communique made 1t clear that
so far as Gen. de Gaulle is con-
cerned such favorable signs"
have yet to be detected.
Sees Summit as Result
In short, although Gen. de
Gaulle has committed himself
to cooperate in easing ten
sions, he thinks a summit con-
ference should not be part Of
the process but rather the re-
suit. And his commitment to
a spring summit is perhaps
hardly as firm as the British
would like to believe:
At the same time, in the
light of the forthcomipo Khru-
shchev visit, 1t is q little hard
to argue that the French are
merely obstructing interna.

huTopehn nSVtteepVhoont VI aus otat
PARIS, oct. "a. - The one
thing no one can deny Presi-
dent Charles de Gaulle is q
fine sense of dramatic timing
His twin bombshells ex-
ploded yesterday were tossed
with the mastery precision Of
a man who appreciates the
value Of surprise In disarming
his opposition.
His rejection Of an early
summit meeting at a moment
when everyone was starting to
pack his bags was certain To
provoke a howl Of outraged
protest. But just as the critics
were filling their lungs, news
Of the coming visit with Pre-
mier Khrushchev was quietly
confirmed by a number Of high
government sources.
Reaction Softened
The net effect has been to
soften much of the reaction
While a number of British
papers have some harsh CON-
ments to make today on the
French Presidents move, the
Foreign Office, in public al
least, in manfully making the
best Of things.
The postponement Of a sum-
NIT conference until spring
while disappointing, is not per-
haps a catastrophe. And the
meeting with Premier Khru-
shchev is taken as a sign that
