The little white stable house
could be the lobby of a movie
palace of the 1920s. the home
of a summer stock theater or a
plush 19th-century funeral
parlor.
Inside, the building is fitted
with red velvet Grapes, thick
carpeting, gilded Moorish sofas,
and candelabras and wall
plaques. The musty air is heavy
with incense and dominating
the room is a great Wurlitzer
pipe organ.

CAMBRIDGE, Md, Sept. g.
Thirty-one Negroes were en-
rolled in five formerly all-white
schools in Cambridge and sur
rounding Dorchester County
today, in the first appreciable
classroom desegregation here.
The only trouble developed
at the Peach Blossom Elemen-
tary School where between 80
and so white mothers gathered
to protest as two Negro children
entered.
Police said some Of the
women shouted epithets at the
two children and their parents,
but no attempt was made
physically to prevent them
from entering.
National Guardsmen, who as
a consequence of racial violence
this summer still occupy the
town, Joined State and local
police in dispensing the women.
They posted patrols around the
school grounds and halted
traffic in the vicinity. The
pupils were not permitted to
come outside for a recess.
Superintendent Pleased
Otherwise, the desegregation
was accomplished without in
cident, according to School
Supt. James Busick.
I'VE feel that it went very
well for the first day and that
1t will improve with time. We
know we will not have any
trouble with the students them
selves for I feel that young
people can get along together
all right" he said.

Cambridge Integrotes
With ! Minor Incident

| Dorchester County and Cam
bridge in 1856 adopted a school
deSegregation plan drafted by
a biracial commission.
1t permits any Negro child
to attend any white school no
matter where the child lives
or the school is located. b.
Beginning with the 18th
grade. the plan has been put
into effect at the rate of one
grade a year. This fall, Negroes
in all grades but the first four
would have been eligible to en-
roll in any school they chose
under the grade-a-year plan.
3 Withdrew
However, since 1856 only five
Negro children have enrolled
in white classes and three of
them withdrew last year after
only a few weeks, saying that
they were uncomfortable among
their white classmates.
AS part of the attempt to
end the racial strife which vir-
tually paralyzed Cambridge and
resulted in the shooting of
seven men, the school board
agreed to open all grades this
month to Negro students.
Mr.. Busick stated that all
Negroes who appeared at the
white schools this morning
were admitted without ques-
ton.
School authorities said five
registered at Cambridge High
School, IL at Cambridge Junior
High, 4 at Academy Elementary
School and 8 at North Dor
chester High School.
Mr.. Busick estimated that
the county and city together
have about $3.50 school-age
children and that approximate
ly 1900 Of these are Negro.
Despite the difficulty at the
one elementary school, moder-
ate leaders striving to achieve
permanent racial peace here
were elated because there were
no serious incidents.
They expressed belief that If
harmony continues in the
schools, their efforts to win
of an equal accommo-
dations amendment in an OcI
tober / referendum will be en-
HANGED.
Negro leaders have suspend,
ed mass street demonstrations
pending outcome of the refer
endum.

Faces Fall
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Well, here we are, home
again after the first day on
the job after the holiday.
Although the autumnal
equinox is almost three
weeks off, to all intentS and
purposes summer is over.
The sun rose this morning
at 6:38. 1t will set at 1856
almost two hours less day
light than on June 81, the
summer SolStice.
The cold front that ushered
in the holiday week end
called the turn.
There was a chill in the
air yesterday morning-the
temperature was So at Dulles
Airport-a h arbinger of
things to come.
The leaves have not yet
begun to change color. Not
even the tulip poplar whose
symmetrical towers Of green
become spotted with gold, or
the dogwood and black gum
which turn red early, but
they will soon.
The 30-day forecast for
September calls for tenn
peratures below and rainfall
above normal.
Summer is over.

1T WAS A wonderful sum-
mer for, vacationerS. Day
after day of blue skies and
warm sunshine.
The drought scared the
pastures and kept apples and
peaches from developing into
the jumbos that make for
record crops.
But all that concerned the

was the efficacy of their
suntan lotions.

Summer is over.
The day after Labor Day
has always seemed more of a
beginning than the day after
New Years Day.
This idea probably comes
from childhood experience.
1t is the first day of school.
ShakeSpeare's schoolboy
had laggard steps but that is
not my memory or my OBJ
servation out the window
this morning.
4 The kids on the way to the
bus stop, waiting with new
schoolbags, some Of them
briefcases worthy of an am
basSador, are joyous and
eager to get back to school.
January ! is in midwinter;
gives no promise of change.
True September brings
signs of end. not of a Begin
ning-the end of the growing
season.
Now starts the cycle Of
those peculiarly American
harvest festivals, the county
fairs.
It is the month Of the
apple, when baked apples
and pies and brown BEETLES
have the tartneSs of the new
crop.
It is also the first month,
after a lapse of four, to con-
tain the magic letter "R."
But stem your impotence
yet awhile. Don't drop every
thing to run to a raw bar.
The oysters will not be fat
until the water becomes cold
and that may not come to
pass for several weeks-but
to pass it will come.
