Reading Due
As Substitute
For Prayer

District schools have been
sent a list of recommended
patriotic and inspirational
texts for teachers to read in
place of the religious exercise
that has been banned by the
Supreme Court.
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen,
in distributing the list yester-
day, said the opening exercise
will not be abandoned even
though the Board of Education
ended the requirement to read
from the Bible and recite the
Lords Prayer before classes.
The list, compiled this sum-
mer by a school committee, in
cludes such patriotic poems as
Il Hear America Singing by
Walt Whitman, and America
the Beautiful by Katherine
Lee Bates, as well as inspira-
tional poetry such as High
Flight" by John Gillespie Ma
gee, ir., and For Whom the
Bell Tolls" by John Dome.
The list also includes the
Declaration of independence,
the Gettysburg Address, and
President Kennedy's Inaugural
Address.
THE suggested reading
should be selected with the
purpose in view of contribut-
ing to love of country, to bet
ter understanding of self and
others, and to moral integrity
through the discovery and
support Of the best in the
moral laws Of our society,"" DR..
Hansen said.

Seats $500
Loew's Capitol at 1926 F
street NV, is the largest in
the city, with a seating capac-
ity of $500.
Officers of the owner, the
National Press Corp, declined
comment on the House action.
The National Press Club owns
about II per cent of the cor
poration. The remainder is held
by private owners and corpora
ton bonds are held by the
public.
Conversion of the theater
was forced by the need for
more revenue than theater OPP
Grafton provided. Rents for
theater use have been reduced
repeatedly, it was learned. Yet
the theater, hit by falling at
tendance like major theaters
all over the country, needs still
lower fixed costs.
Contract Signed
The last show scheduled at
the Capitol is "TickliSh Affair, y
billed as a naughty farce" II
opens Thursday and is due tc
close September 8.
The corporation on August !
signed a So million construction
contract with George A. Fuller

tonished" to read of these de-
velopments.

PREVIOUSLY, MARY had

PREVIOUSLY, MARY had
been active in organizing one
of the first churches in Els
worth. Oddly enough, the
minister turned up in the
trial of DR.. Adams as a char
acter witness for the sheriff.
The jury acquitted DR..
Adams, no motive having
been established. He also
had an alibi. He claimed he
had been at the post office
at the time of the crime.
But the people of Ellis
worth never forgot that
blood had been found on one
of the brass buttons Of the
sheriff's uniform and never
swallowed the explanation
of the versatile DR.. Adams.
He said he had performed
an operation in his sheriff's
uniform.
At any rate, his practice
dwindled and he was never
to run for office again. He
concentrated on lumber and
moved out Of Ellsworth. His
home later became a stop
for the stage between Ellis
worth and Bangor. Passen-
gers were shown a spot in
the hearth Of the fireplace
where, 1t was said, DR.. Adams
had worn a hole by twirling
his fire tongs as he gazed
into the fire and thought Of
the past.
Just the other day, the
Rambler found himself do
ing the same thing before q
fine fire and before the wood
ran out.
The three year old had
been screaming and playing
sea gull and a decision had
TO be made on when to go to
Ellsworth and get the dirty
laundry done.
DR.. Adams was never faced
with that problem. It was
not, at least, mentioned in
the history Of Ellsworth.

The
Rambler
Comments
From Maine
BY JOHN McKELwAY

Seriously considered re-
turning to Washington the
other day. 1t rained steadily
and heavily all day long and
into the night. The fire wood
was used up and the three
year-old had developed a
piercing scream. She used
the scream when playing sea
gull. On rainy days, she plays
sea gull and trotS heavily
about the house screaming.
But today is quite beauti-
full, a balmy, 80-degree day,
and you can see the islands
out in Frenchman Bay again
and Cadillac Mountain has
reappeared in a soft blue
haze.
She will probably want to
go. feed the sea gulls again
oyer at Schoodic Point. She
never tires of the operation,
thankfully. It is a pleasant
drive over to the point, filled
with some of the best views
of Maine, countryside and
rocky, pink coastline.

Farmhouse Fire
FutuI to Boy, IT

An ll-year-old boy was ia
tally burned last night in a
fire which swept through a
small farmhouse on Derwood
road, near Rockville. Md.
Albert Shirley, one Of five
occupants Of the house, died in
the blaze, believed 10 have
been started by a kerosene
lantern. Only three walls OF
the frame dwelling were left
standing.
The boys stepfather, whose
name was not Immediately
learned by investigators, told
Rockville firemen that there
was no electricity In the house.
Fire officials estimated the
damage at $500 to the house
and $3.50 to its contents.

IN THE HISTORY, the
author, Herbert T. SilSby II,
points out Ellsworth could
have celebrated its 200th
birthday last year or in any
one of the next four years.
1--WE celebrate this year." he
writes, because 1853 is the
traditional year of birth and
Just as good as any"
In 1900, the population
was 227.
But, on May IL, 1915, it
abruptly declined by one. On
that day a dark deed was
done, Ellsworth had its first
murder and one remembered
today as one of the most
unique IN the history OF
Maine"
The details are a bit COM
plicated. DR.. Moses Adams
wife, Mary, was murdered
with an ak. DR.. Adams had
settled in Ellsworth in 1903,
the second physician to prac-
tice in the area. He was &C
tive in the lumber business
and local politics as well.
He got himself elected
sheriff of Hancock County
and was serving in that ca
pacity when he was charged
with the murder of Mary.

THE GULLS seem to rec
ognize the car now. They
hover over it and then land
on the engine and patiently
wait for stale bread and old
BURBERRY mullins.
Must try and remember
next year to bring down to
Maine some fat old classics.
In the Soupy weather, I
found myself reading and re-
reading match book covers
and the labels on soup cans
and a brief history of Els
worth, a pleasant little town
about IA miles away on US /.
Before the rain and the
forced reading, the only
thing I had known about
Ellsworth was that it did a
booming business in dirty
laundry. All the summer
people take their dirty laun-
dry to Ellsworth and sit
around in shorts and tennis
shoes and look blankly at
oin-operated washing ma
chimes tumbIing their pos
sessions for about an hour.
But it turns out Ellsworth
is 200 years old and has had
one of those bicentennial
celebrations with boards.
