Banneker School News

The excitement, expectations and
thrills that parallel the opening OF
a school year are now on the
wane: and the Banneker School
is adjusting itself to a degree OF
normalcy.
We were very happy to greet the
return of our old friends and to
extend a warm and cordial wei
come to our new members. The en-
rollment has increased and has
caused some changes. Our present
teachers and classroom arrange
ments are as follows: First Grade
Miss Emma G. Woodson; Second
Grade. Miss Ernestine Bordley;
First and Second Grades Combina-
ton, Miss Alice Hollis; Third
Grade, Mrs. Eva Evans; Fourth
Grade, Mr.. Absalom Davis; Fifth
Grade Grade, Mrs. Beulah D. Wy
lie; Sixth Grade, Mr.. Roland
Holmes; Fifth and Sixth Grades
Combination, Mrs. Dora Bell. The
homeroom teachers of the Junior
High School Grades are: Grade
Seven, Mr.. John Pitts; Grade Eight
A, Mr.. Douglas Gibson; Grade
B, Mr.. William Holmes; and Grade
Nine, Miss Claudia HarreH. Mrs
Fontaine Mitchell is in charge OF
the Music Department. Our Special
Education Glass is under the guild
ance of Mr.. j. Leroy Jones. He is
helping some children to adjust to
1ohno1 oafiuitiQC
Our outstanding objective is to
constantly raise the standards OF
Banneker School, We would like
Banneker School to offer a program
of education for the growth and
development of boys and girls Sec
ond to none. In order to realize
this goal, a lot of hard work and
planning is required. There must
be an untiring effort exerted by the
teachers, pupils, and parents. We
hope all the parties involved will
endeavor to meet the challenge
presented by our goal.
Our Saving Stamp Drive has now
begun. Help us to instill in your
child the habit of saving. Encour-
age the children to put aside a per-
centage of their allowance for a
Rainy Day.. Stamps are on sale
each Monday.
You will soon be receiving an
other Accident Insurance Plan foI
Students. To some parents this has
already proved to be a very wise
investment. 1t is hoped that those
who are now members will con-
tinue to be so. 1t might be wise il
many others would join in making
this very sound investment. Under
the best supervision, accidents
sometimes occur. The policy fol
one year is $500 per pupil. 1t is
far wiser to have this protection
and not need it than to need it ano
not have it. The school now has its
own cafeteria. This cafeteria SER
vice is for our boys and girls. II
also must be supported by their
purchase of lunches. When possi-
BILE, see that your child buys
lunch. Please see that he buys OF
brings a lunch from home each day
The School Nurse has had to senc

from school until certain medica

Please take care of this situation
Immediately. Every day your chile
misses in school, is putting hin
that much further behind in his
school work.

NoStrikeSeen,
Bargains Cited
In Rail Stocks

Many rail securities are priced
low in relation to improved
prospects, and wage increases
of around 8 or 9 cents an hour
are expected to head off a
Nationwide railroad strike.
This was reported here last
night by Pierre R. Bretey, rec
ognized authority on rail Sc
curities, in an address before
the Washington Society of In
vestment Analysts.
Mr.. Bretey said Is rail lead
ers he talked to on a recent
tour felt there would be no
strike and that the wage settle
ment would be forthcoming. He
is a partner of Hayden Stone
& Co. of New York and editor
of the Financial Analysts Jour-
nal.
Although important changes
for the better have taken place
in the rail outlook, many in
vestors still are cautious on
these securities, the speaker
said. This is almost the direct
antithesis of the 1920S when
institutional investors bid UP
the rails on the eve of a long
and disastrous drop in traffic
and earnings, he declared.
New rail legislation in 1858
permitted railroads to weed out
improbable passenger serv-
ice and adopt more flexible
freight rates to meet competi-
tion of other forms of transpor-
tation, he pointed out.
Threatened v'.th loss of valu-
able commuter service, many
cities. including New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago sud-
denly have recognized the
prohibitive cost of providing
additional superhighways and
more parking space for auto
mobiles. On an increasing scale,
Mr.. Bretey said, tax attachments
and subsidies have been pro-
vided by municipalities to place
railroad commuter services on
a more profitable basis.
Mr.. Bretey said he believed
Western Maryland was one of
the most underpriced railroad
stocks in view of plans for ex-
pansion of the Bethlehem Steel
plant at Sparrows Point. The
Baltimore and Ohio also is
showing substantial improve
ment and is a good buy, he de-
clared.

borrowing as much money as
expected to finance present and
projected operations. As a re-
suit OF the slowing of activity
and its concern about the pos
sible implications of the disap-
pointments, the Federal Re-
serve System has shifted back
from its policy of aggressive
restraint of credit and it is
permitting more money to flow
into the banking system to be-
come more available for loans.
The combination of less de-
mand for credit and greater
supply of credit has brought
about violent upheaval in the
money markets in a matter of
weeks.
Money is now considerably
more available for all sizes of
borrowers and for all types of
loans.
Examples Offered
But so far, money is cheaper
only for those borrowing via
the securities markets. It's
