boswell E. Brooks, the only
Negro board member. said the
statement, Doesn't contain all
we asked for. but it's a decided
improvement over what we
have had"
Neither Mr.. Brooks nor
Board President w. Carroll
Beatty, however, would under
line any specific area of i'm
provement in racial relations
contained in the policy. Mr..
Beatty said the greatest advan-
tage of the new policy is that
"it codifies all our policies on
this subject for the first time,
and I think, liberalizes some of
our previous policies" He did
not elaborate.
The statement, which spells
out how the county expects to
carry out school Indignation, did
not contain any change in the
two policies criticized recently
by Negro spokesman.
The county branch of the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
and another group of three Ne
gro residents had asked for a
new policy of assigning students
exclusively to schools nearest
their homes. and to make the
assignment without requiring a
written request.
Choice Angle Stressed
The board, in its statement,
supporte d the principle of
freedom of choice" and out
lined procedures through which
parents could request that their
children be assigned to any
school in the county, under
specified conditions.
The new policy does not
change the present feeder"
system of automatically assign
ing Negro students to predomi-
nantly Negro schools, no matter
how far these schools are from
their homes.
Policy Outlined
The policy statement said the
board:
l. "Deplores discriminatory
practices" and requires school
personnel to treat all students
alike and to work actively to
prevent racial unrest.
2. Will not leave a child in
a school where his race is in
a minority nor transfer a stu
dent to such a school unless
he has the consent of his par
ents.
3. Gives to students entering
the system for the first time
the option of registering at the
school nearest his home or any
other school if facilities and

plan.
3. Major storage alterna-
tive"-the approach supported
by the Corps of Engineers.
Mr.. Fox said that he was not
advocating anyone Of these
possibilities.
However, he said, few would
support the least expenditure
plan since it would not satisfy
most of the people.
He reviewed the arguments
used by the Corps of Engineers
to support construction of dams
for storage of large quantities
of water.
Then he commented that "in
view of the widespread interest
in the valley preservation and
recreation enhancement alter
native, it would be helpful for
the public agencies to present
one or more plans based upon
this objective"
Mr.. Fox did not specify which
agency should undertake this
task.
Aid in Financing
Lee Dante, general counsel
for the Interstate Commission
on the Potomac River Basin,
spoke to the group on the ex-
banded role the commission
may play if amendments to the
commissions compact are ap-
proved.
Mr.. Dante said that if these
amendments are approved, the
commission will have authority
to help the Potomac Basin
States in such problems as de-
Gliding how to share the costs
of dam construction not paid
by the Federal Government.
He said that these amend
ments have already been ap-
proved by Pennsylvania, Mary
land and West Virginia. He
added that they are now pend
ing in the Virginia Legislature.
If Virginia approves the amend
ments, Congress and the Dis
trict are expected to follow suit.
Frank Dressler, Philadelphia,
executive director of the Water

cessful efforts made by his

He said that the Corps of
Engineers had recommended
construction of SO dams on the
Delaware River system and
added that he believes most of
these dams will be built"

Panama Port
Halls Legend

In 1858, the dark wood statue
of a man-encased in a mys-
FERROUS box, floated into the
waters of Portobelo, the beau
tiful port" discovered by CO.
lumbus in 1902. At that time,
the Spanish Colonial town was
beset by pirates and plague.
The humble fishermen who
rescued this statue of "Christo
Crucificado" promptly carried
1t to their church. Legend has
it, from that day, the plague
was wiped out. Though it ragged
throughout the Isthmus Of
Panama, Portobelo was mirac-
ulously delivered.
Ever since, at 6 pm. on Oc'
tober 81, the church bells toll
the beginning of the annua
religious ceremonies. At eight
the statue is borne out on 6
flower-decked platform, glitter
ing with candles. Eighty mer

three steps forward, then two
steps back-swaying to the mu'

The effect is hypnotic as the
procession winds through the
main streets of Portobelo, com
pleting the circuit by midnight
when the Christie" is returned
to the church. Over the years
he has gradually been sur
rounded by treasures and Jew
els which the friendly Padre
is pleased to show.

most, a visit to the Grotto of
the Nativity = traditionally,
at least, the manger where
Christ was born.
Opposition to Christianity in
the first years of the new rel
igion actually led to the pre-
servation of the manger =
an improvised stable in a cave
hewn out of rock, near the center
of the hill town of Bethlehem.
The Roman emperor Hadri-
an, who ruled from III to 1873
AID, sought to halt the fast
spread of Christianity, and he
had the cave converted to a
grotto for the worship of the
pagan god Apollo. The very
fact that the cave was marked
though for pagan purposes,
helped to preserve knowledge
of the site of the Nativity.
Later a silver star was set in
the stone floor of the cave, and
since 1873 each regime to rule
Bethlehem : now a part of
Jordan - has posted night and
day guard over the star.

"First NOweH''

Christmas or "shout of JOY"
for the birth of Christ. Tune
is a medieval shepherd song.

TimesHave Changed but Shepherds
Still Watch Over Sheep at Night

Sheep and sheepherding are
closely linked with the Christ
mas story, and they also serve
as a symbol of the kindness
and loving care that was part
of Christ's message to man
kind.
When darkness falls on
Christmas Eve, today's sheep
herder is watching his flocks
by night and, probably. look
ing at the stars in the heavens,
just as the shepherds of old
did.
There are some differences

the flocks he watches are much

finition - hasn't changed.
Sheep still must be watched
by night, because, for some
reason known only to the sheep

likely to decide to roam to

20 Little Town of Bethle-

by Episcopal Bishop Phillips
Brooks in 1868, while he was
rector of Holy Trinity Church
in Philadelphia, Pa.
On a trip to the Holy Land
TWO years earlier, he had seen
the 'little town of Bethlehem"
on Christmas Eve, and the viv-
Id memory of this scene later
led to the writing of the carol.

peareo resigned TO the idea that
there would be no tax cut this

likelihood Of no tax cut until
next year.
