year spent his former study
hall period in an art or music
class which Mr.. williams num-
bers among "education's fringe
benefits
There were other major
curriculum changes, too.
This year Alexandria turned
TO ability grouping in Its high
schools. Found to be highly
successful" at the elementary
level alexandra was among
the first area jurisdictions to
try it at the lower leveD 1t was
felt that it would work to the
benefit Of secondary pupils as
we'll.
Announced last September
as one of the systems 1901
projects, the program "appar-
emily paid off," Mr.. Williams
said.
Well Accepted
The program. the superin-
tendent says, has been well
accepted"
Alexandria also dropped
mid-year graduations this year.
All students now finish a given
years schooling in June. A few
holdovers. however, will COM
plete their studies next Febru-
airy and graduate.
Mr.. Williams had discovered
a number of students who
were obviously not doing work
commensurate with their age
levels. To remedy the Situa-
tion. he announced last Sep
tember that the system would
install a number of irregular
classes. These, it was hoped,
would bring the irregular stu
dents up to par. They then
could go back to regular
classes at their proper age
grade levels.
Despite its quiet but me-
thodical ways, Alexandria did
manage this year to get into
one school hassle.
Members of the city council
and the school board made
plans to build a new high
school on a slum-like site called
Midtown.
No one objected in principle,
but Negro residents of the area
promised a fight to the end"
unless suitable housing was
provided them elsewhere.
Before the issue was settled,
members of the city's PTAI
council gave it added heat when
they criticized the city council
for delaying a decision on the
matter.
Finally Goes Ahead
The controversy ended this
spring when contractors were
given the green light to begin
construction and the question
of housing the Midtown area
residents was settled pretty
much to everyone's satisfaction.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP).-Federal Judge Ted Dalton

Mrs. Melvin w. Holland sued the Government for
100000 She said she yanked at the strings of Venetian

whole blind fell on her face.
The blow from the blind made her hose crooked she
said.
Her nose her husband swore was always one Of
her best features We've been married for Is years and
I always thought she had beautiful nose"
The Government produced three former neighbors OF
the Hollands who testified the looked different

The defense called physician who testified the blow
had caused q crooked nose.
At this point Judge Dalton left the bench and felt

somehow, year a1Cer year,
Alexandra gets more accom-
plished in terms of school i'm
provements with the least
hoopla of any school Jurisdiction
In the Washington area.
AS a matter Of fact, IL you
want to know what's doing in
the Alexandria school system.
you'd better be ready to dig for
it.
Perhaps that's the way it
should be.
It's not that Alexandria Of
ficials, including veteran Supt.
T. C. williams. do not want to
tell you what's doing. It's Just
that they'd rather spend their
time working toward more and
better schools and leave the
publicity to someone else.
Mr.. williams, like most of
his colleagues, is perfectly will
ing to talk and to answer ques-
tions, but the system-unlike
any in the area-Still has not
hired a public relations officer
to tout its accomplishments.
Nor does 1t plan to.
Yet Alexandra often has been,
and was again this year, a pace
setter in school improvement.
Because Of its shyness it has
not always received its Just
desserts.
Following the Nationwide
cry for a re-evaluation of public
school systems after the launch
ing of the first Soviet sputnik
in 1857. Alexandria was the
first Washington area jurisdic-
ton to admit that improve
mentS might, indeed, be called
for.
Advises a Look
I'VE must take a new look
and be sure our system has not
been allowed to Slip" Mr.. Will
liamS said at a meeting of the
school board soon after the
Russian success.
He then was the first super
intendent to begin a push for
new and better equipped build
ings and upgraded curriculums.
Like other jurisdictions, how
ever, the improvements - for
the most part-failed to appear
in concrete fashion until this
year.
In any case, officials there
apparently have little to worry
about. Students graduated
from Alexandria high schools
do as well, and often better in
college than those from any
area in Virginia, State statis-
tics show.
Quiet Achievement
Again, because Mr.. williams
and the school board as a
whole would rather move on to
the next school problem. the
achievements of the Alexandra
students who go to college are
not generally known.
Mr.. Williams says the city, in
his opinion. has just chalked up
another successful year. In
cluded as another first, as far
as is known.
At the beginning of the year.
Mr.. williams told The Star
that he planned to junk high |
school study halls. He said he
felt most students were using |
the time for a "goof off period"
For those who know Mr.. Will
liams it goes without saying |
that he did exactly as he said.
Teacher Control
THE student now spends
that time in a teacher-con-
trolled classroom" he explains,
and he'll be a lot better off
because of it,"

Polio Decline Greatest
In Garrett AIIeguny

Garrett and Allegany counties
led Maryland in a sharp decline
of paralytic polio cases, according
to the November bulletin of the
Maryland State Department Of
Health.
The two counties were among six
in the state that have not recorded
a single polio case to date. The
extensive use Of Salk vaccine was
given as the cause of the general
decrease. The health department
reported there were % cases of
paralytic polio to October 10. For
the same period in 1860 there were
125 cases. Nearly tWo-thirds OF the
cases this year occurred in Frede-
rick and Washington counties
Garrett and Al.egany counties
each reported seven polio cases In
1850. A spokesman for the Allie
gany-Garrett county Medical So
ciety attribute this years record
to the massive Sabin oral vaccine
campaigns. Despite the protection
provided by the Sabin vaccine the
medical profession urges tull
series Of four injections Of Salk
vaccine for everyone under 40
years of age.

Jamaica Economy
Helped By Worlds
Liqhtest Metal

Kingston, Jamaica. - 1t is ia
maica's good fortune that its land,
smaller than the state of Connecti-
cut, contains a treasure-bauxite,
the ore from which aluminium is
produced.
This highly overpopulated island
in the Federation of the West In
dies, 90-mile hoot n holler away
from Cuba, lacks the ingredients
essential to modern industrializa-
tion-coal, oil, and iron ore.
But bauxite and three companies,
Kaiser, Reynolds, and Aluminium,
Ltd, of Canada, have saved the
day for this beautiful isle in the
Caribbean which in a few years
will enjoy its independence after
more than $50 years of colonial
rule.
The latest estimate of reserves
on the island is approximately
500-600, 600, 900 tons of commercial
grade. AS long as the world needs
this light and shiny metal, ia
maica is assured of a substantial
income and, even more important
ly, jobs for its ever-growing pop
ulation. ,r,,.F "a
1t is a little-known fact m but
Jamaica is today the largest baux-
reproducing country of the world,
although as recently as 1913, it
didn't export a pound. Today, the
three companies are mining baux-
ite at the rate of about 100000
tons a year.
Exploration for bauxite began
in 1912, but it uncovered deposits
which had a high iron and low
alumina content. In a few years,
refining processes were developed
which made Jamaican alumina
commercially feasible. Plant con-
struction then got underway.
Alumina Jamaica or Alajam, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Alum
mum, Ltd, extracts alumina from
the bauxite by a simple process
which teaches out iron oxide, silica,
and other impurities. A tour Of
AGam's Kirkvine works was fas-
cinating sight as the reddish ore
was dumped into mills and ground
fine.
By the use of caustic soda, the
alumni is dissolved from the basic
ore and it finally ends up fine,
white, salt-like powder. 1t then
travels by rail to Port Esquivel
where it is transshipped through
the Panama Canal into the Pacific
and up to Kitimat, British Colum-
bia. There Canada's roaring rivers
generate the enormous amount of
hydro-electric power needed to pro-
duce pure aluminium.
Allan has an administrative
concession over 10000 Jamaica
acres, only one-eighth of which
is mined for bauxite. Half of the
acreage is unsuitable for agricul-
