The girls weren't starry
eyed idealists. Nor were they
reciting something the teacher
had made them learn by rote.
But with the confidence of
youth they declared that the

old American dream of this
land being a place of oppor-
tunity and freedom was not
something they considered
dead.
Gathered at the American
University for the D. c.
Cherry Blossom Girls State,
five of the participating high
school juniors gave their
views on what America means
to them and what it stands
for.
Not Mere Words
Countess Maria Pease, Is,
of the Mckinley High School
and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lincoln Pease, said "Democ-
racy, Liberty and these other
words we are hearing all the
time are not mere words in
this country, but they're some
thing we've backed up with
deeds"
Tedie Carole Shinberg, 16,
Woodrow Wilson High School,
and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Leon Shinberg, said that what
she found most praiseworthy
in this country was the grad
ual evolution CT the Govern
ment from virtually an aris-
tocracy when it began to
becoming an organ Of the
people for the people and by
the people"
Ann Marie Green, II, of the
Academy of the Holy Cross.
called America the chief
mediator for peace in world
disputes, such as the dispute
between the Netherlands and
IndoneSia over West Irian.
Ann Marie, whose parents
are Capt. and Mrs. John R.
Green Of Kensington, Md,
also praised America for
getting new countries estab-
lished," and thereby saving
them from Communism.
Ann Marie, however, was
critical Of the housing con-
ditions and sanitation in
Washington. THE downtown
northwest area is we'll taken
care of, but other areas are
a disgrace, when the Federal

government should try to
make this city a model for
all the world" she said.
She also deplored the ig-
norance and the apathy
among the youngsters toward
Communism, and suggested
that they should be made
aware of these dangers in
high school.
This feeling was shared by
Gae Ann Zindel of North
wood High School. The
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis G. Zindel of Silver
Spring, said that even young
draftees should be taught
about the Communist creed
and warned against its threat
to take over the globe.
Louise Martha German,
II, Of the Gaithersburg High
School, who plans to be a
nurse, was all in favor Of the
Kennedy Plan for Medical
Care for the Aged.
With a flick of her straw
berry brown hair, she said,
THE plan has become a
must. It's like Social Securi-
ty. If the latter worked, the
former should work too"
Top Third Of Class
Louise's parents are Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph F. German
of Germantown, Md.
On Friday 40 girls from
Metropolitan Washington,
all of them in the top third
of their class, will elect two
Senators for the Nation
wide Girls Nation assembly
scheduled for August.
The outstanding fact about
them is the general level Of
their intelligence and aware
ness of world problems, and
also their dexterity in other
fields.
For instance, Countess
PeaSe plans to be both a mu-
sician and an electrical en-
gineer. AS a science honor
student in her, school, she
has learned the rudiments
of putting a tin Lizzy to-
gether, something which has
made her very popular with
the boys.
She also plays the flute in
the school band, is enrolled
in the Washington School of
Ballet, gives lessons in baton
twirling, and is a drum ma
jorette in the D. c. Junior
Citizens Band. She also rep
resents her school in Hecht's
Teen Modelling Board.

Blockbird is Picked
by Swedes as Symbol
For Their Notion

A Stockholm newspaper inn
parted the shocking news to its
readers recently that Sweden has
no national bird. So it started a
contest to pick one.
Surprisingly, the readers chose.
by a large margin, the humble
blackbird. They preferred it to
more glamorous birds because of
its song, its faithfulness in stay
ing behind when most birds mi
crate southwark, and for the
splendid way it gets along with
people.
Another common bird, the bull
finch, placed second. The king
eagle, the only unusual Bird on
the list, placed far down.

Virgin IslGnds Gets
$4,000 Grunt For
Slurn Renewed Perfect

An important step forward was
taken yesterday towards improve
ment of the Virgin Islands hous-
ing situation, when Urban Renew
al Commissioner, William Slayton
approved a Community Renewal
Program ALLEGATION order in the
amount of $72, 1000, it was announc
ed by Eliseo G. Font, Regional
Administrator of the Housing and
Home Finance Agency.
The ALLEGATION order sets aside
Federal funds which, together
with services to be rendered by
Virgin Islands governmental agen-
cies, will make possible a tho
roughly comprehensive study of
Virgin Islands blighted areas, re-
location needs, capital improve
ments, and land reuses in prob
lem areas. The study is expected
to take eighteen months, and con-
stitutes not only a detailed evalua-
ton of the job to be done in all
important aspects of housing, but
also the way and means of achiey-
ing the desired detectives.
An Urban Planning Assistance
Grant for the Virgin Islands in
the sum of $113,875 was approved
in March 1862 and covers the pre-
paration Of surveys, maps, stud
les, and general physical plans of
the Islands. It is expected that the
Urban Planning Assistance Grant
and the newly approved Com
munity Renewal Program will
provide the basic information ne
cessary for the solution of exist
ing problems, and for sound and
logical expansion in an area that
is rapidly increasing its economy.

Under an arrangement worked
out with the Gabonese Govern
ment and approved by the United
States Department of State, the
Peace Corps group in Gabon will
devote itself to school construc-
ton. Using a basic plan develop
ed in Gabon for a three-room
school, the young Americans will
be formed into demonstration
teams to travel through the coun-
try training Gabonese men and
women in the school building
techniques. a
As a feature of the training pro-
gram to be conducted in the Vir-
gin Islands, the group viii but1d
a three-room school as a gift to
the people of the islands on a site
of Education Pedro G.. Sanchez.
Several possible sites are being
considered.
Inasmuch as the College facul-
ty will not be available for the
Peace Corps training effort, the
detailed supervision and conduct
of the training program will be
handled by The Experiment in
international Living of which DR..
Wallace is the Executive Vice
President.
"This will be the seventh coun-
try for which the Experiment has
conducted a Peace Corps training
program" DR.. Wallace comment
ed. 1.-THE others have been East
Pakistan, Chile, Venezuela, Peru,
Bolivia and the Dominican Repub
lie. We look forward eagerly to
conducting this training program
in the Virgin Islands where the
volunteers will have an excellent
opportunity not only to become
acclimated to, tropical weather
but also to construct a full-size
replica of the school building
the overcrowding in many local
schools, ! am hopeful that this
project will bring some small
measure of relief to Virgin Islands
educational authorities"
AS in all other Peace Corps
training programs, the volunteers
coming to st. Thomas will face a
heavy ten-hour per day, six days
per week schedule. Courses will
be presented in such fields as

St. Johns Pro. League
Asks Rockefeller 10
Take Stdnd in Dispute

The st. Johns Protective
League has asked Laurance Roc
kefeller to state definitely that he
will never contribute funds to
purchase condemned land for the
Virgin Islands National Park.
In a letter to Rockefeller, Ro-
bert Gibney, League Chairman,
wrote: In the interests Of future
harmony, may we suggest that
you now make it perfectly clear
to the Department of the Interior,
the National Park Service, and
the Interior and Insular Affairs
Committee of both Houses of
Congress that you will give no
more money for land-acquisition
on ST. John if condemnation is in
volved; and that, since S-2429 was
passed without condemnation pri-
vileges, the money thus entailed
may not be used to purchase land
thus threatened in the future"
Mr.. Rockefeller, principal donor
Of Park acreage on st. John, has
repeatedly said that he opposes
condemnation here, the release
says. Nevertheless he has offered
to match any Federal funds APP
propriated to buy land for the
Park. The Park tried unsuccess-
fully to get condemnation autho-
rity in September; and has warn
ed that it will try again when

An idle conversation over a glass of beer in a Seward sal oon 47 years ago started what has become an annual test or athletic stamina.
 According to Sven Johnan- son coach of the U. s. Modern Winter Biathlon Training Cen ter at Fort Richardson, several men began arguing one night whether or not a man could climb the 3,008 feet to the top of nearby Mt Marathon and return to Seward in two hours.
 The six-mile race IS now a main part of the Annual Sew ard Fourth of July celebration. Johanson considers the Mt. Marathon race unique because it is the only cross-country race I know of that the spec tators can watch all the way from one vantage point, down town Seward" He adds the race is a challenge to any athlete because it is over sucn l a treacherous course, especial lv coming down. The runner really has to be in shape.
 The Mt. Marathon race IS open to anyone who cares te enter. Those interested in the race either as contestant ol spectator, can get detailed m formation from the Seward Chamber of Commerce. I'm may enter either as individual year for the first time racer or as members of a four-mal team.
