course. did not attend the
dinner.
There was a brief furry
last night when a report cir
culated that Mrs. Nixon
would appear on the closed
circuit instead of the First
Lady. G. o. P. party officials
still thought it possible an
hour before the broadcast.
If Mrs. Nixon had appeared,
1t would have been from a
dinner in Boston, where the
Vice President spoke on the
telecaSt. However, she or
someone in the Nixon group
apparently decided against it.
Vice President Nixon's
physical appearance on the
telecaSt was a matter of con-
siderable interest to many of
the diners, since his appear
ance of WEAKNESS on the first
Of the Nixon-Kennedy de-
bates ION Monday night) had
concerned many of them.
The debate was one of the
chief topics of conversation
at pre-dinner cocktail par
ties, last night, especially a
large one given by the dinner
chairman, James c. Black,
and members of his commit
tee.
Some Blame Lighting
The concenSuS seemed to
be that the Vice President
had looked tired and drawn
on the debate, as man-in-
the-street interviews had ear
lier indicated. Some sug-
geSted studio lighting was to
blame, others thought it was
the makeup applied.
After the Vice Presidents
broadcast last night, the con-
census of those queried was
that he looked somewhat bet
ter than on Monday night,
but still thin and somewhat
grim-an exception to the
latter being the first minute,
when he responded to ap-
plause, with a warm smile.
Said one party guest with
a resigned sigh: I'VE just
have to face it. He doesn't
have a single ounce of sex
appeal"
The overflow dinner crowd
which filled the ballroom
and Chinese Room and then
spilled across the lobby into
the East Room - applauded
warmly when President Eisen-
hover praised the Vice Pres
ident for proven leadership"
That's what we needed a
month ago." said one guest

Schools To Operate
On Three Saturdays

For the first time in many years,
and perhaps for the first time in
history public schools of the coun-
ty will operate on three Saturdays
in an effort to make up for some
of the time lost due to the severe
winter storms.
Willard l.. Hawkins, county SUI
perintendent of schools. said that
he had received requests from
many teachers and parents to OPP
crate schools on Saturday so as
not to prolong classes at the end
of school beyond the middle of
June.
He announced yesterday that
there would be school on Saturday,
March 26, and that if this proved
satisfactory there would also be
school on Saturday, April 9, and
Saturday, April %, in order to
comply with the school law that
classes be in session for no less
than 1870 days.
Including the two days lost this
week there have now been eleven
days lost due to snow and inclem-
ent weather. 1t will be necessary,
Mr. Hawkins said, TO make up
eight of those days. With the three
Saturdays, it will be necessary to
run the sessions five days in addi-
ton to the time set earlier, which
will mean that the last day for
classes will be on Monday. June 10.
Mr.. Hawkins pointed out that
there will be an all day teachers
meeting on Friday, April l, which
cannot be changed. The speaker for
this meeting has been under con-
tract for six months and it would
be impossible to make another date
for this session. He also pointed out
that it was against school regula-
lions to have school on Good Fri
day or Easter Monday.
Mr. Hawkins said that schools
would still be dismissed in good
time as there are a number of
other counties which run as late
or even later than the date now
set for the closing day, June 13.
1t is planned to have schools in
session today and tomorrow, even
though there may be a few county
roads still closed to traffic on ac-
count of the drifting of Mondays
storm.
