PLEASANTS AGAIN HEADS SCHOOL BOARD 5 Teachers Named; Grant Part Of Plea For Walker's Aid request from City Manager Joseph C. Biggins that Dr. Thomas D. Walker, school physician, be permitted to assist the city in its childwelfare program. After considerable discussion, the board voted on motion on Trustee Philip W.

Murray to grant the a permission through this month and next, with the provision on that Walker be subject to call by Saunders for any regular school service. The board balked, however, at granting such permission after schools re in September. Mrs. Lewis T. Jester and Pleasants pointed out that Walker's full-time services were engaged for two reasons -first, on the ground that there is enough work between caring for pupils and checking on the health of teachers to occupy a physician's full time; second, that this would guarantee the services of a physician at any time he is needed for school health work.

Other matters included: Approval of the monthly report of Samuel D. Green, assistant superintendent and clerk of the board, with current bills, held over from the regular meeting. Purchase the workmen's compensation fund reserve, on motion by Murray, of a $1,000 series war saving bond. Approval of two claims against the workmen's compensation fund -one, of $6 for a Mr. Daniels for medical attention to a minor injury while making repairs; one, of $65.10 to Robert Anderson, Negro, for medical attention and hospitalization for infection resulting from a splinter wound.

Renewal of the war risk insurance for full coverage on school properties at a premium of $1,139.50. Presentation by Saunders of the report of an audit by a local accounting firm of the accounts of Dr. Lutrelle F. Palmer, deposed principal of the Huntington Negro high school, and his statement that J. Rupert Picott, deposed principal of the John Marshall Negro school, had turned in his balance.

He said he had asked all three of the recently discharged Negro principals for statements of their accounts, but made no mention of what T. Roger Thompson, ex-principal of the Booker T. Washington school, had done in reply. ed chairman of the school board at a special session last night called to transact a number of items deferred from the regular meeting the previous Tuesday because of Pleasants' absence from most of the session and for such other business as was deemed proper. Most of the items last night were of routine character.

Pleasants has been chairman for or eight one-year terms. In accepting re-election, he thanked the board for the confidence it has expressed by its continued re-election of him, and said he had tried to the best of his ability to serve the school system. His services at any time are at the disposal either of Superintendent Joseph Saunders or of any member of the board, he said. Five new teachers were elected on Saunders' recommendation, one white and four Negroes. Mrs.

T. Herbert Dimmock, wife of the late pastor of the Second Presbyterian; church who was stricken fatally a year or so ago while walking to the pulpit to preside over a meeting of the Norfolk presbytery, is the new white teacher named. Other Teachers Three of the Negro teachers had been recommended at the regular meeting July 13, but action was deferred until last night. They are Miss Catherine E. Carrington, to teach in the John Marshall school; Miss Margaret W.

Armstrong, to teach in the Negro elementary schools; and Miss A. Lois Vaughan, to teach in the John Marshall school. On an additional recommendation last night the board elected Miss Nancy Whitehead, with no assignment named. Another deferred matter was a NOTICE!

J. TASK COMPLETE RICHMOND, July (P) -District officials of the office of price administration have announced that the task of issuing Virginia's 060 copies of war ration book 3 has been completed. PRESBYTERIANS PLAN UNION OF 2 SEMINARIES Engle Named Mod- erator Of Norfolk Body At Here Plans looking toward the merger of the Union (Richmond) and Louisville (Ky.) Theological seminaries into a single institution at Richmond were discussed at the stated summer meeting of the Presbytery of Norfolk at its final session yesterday afternoon at the First Presbyterian church here. The Rev. Dr.

Edwin T. Wellford, pastor emeritus of the First church and chairman of a committee negotiating the proposed merger, asked and received blanket authority to convey to the Synod of Virginia next September the endorsement of the presbytery of the merger proposal. He was authorized at his own request, however, to make the representation or not in his own discretion, dependent on whether the joint committee were ready to present the matter for synodical consideration. At the opening of the presbytery yesterday morning the Rev. Raleigh M.

Engle, pastor of the Hampton Presbyterian church, was elected moderator. He succeeded the Rev. H. Graham Keys, pastor of the Coleman Place church at Norfolk. The Rev.

Lynn T. Jones, pastor of the Royster Memorial church at Norfolk, was named vice-moderator. Mr. Keys preached the opening sermon on the subject of "the Great Commandment," reading as his text the quotation from Matthew, "thou shalt love the Lord thy God with I thy heart, and all thy soul, and all thy strength, and all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself." A communion service was conducted by the Rev. Willis Thompson of the Hilton Village church and the Rev.

Dr. W. Emmett Davis of the Wythe church. Dr. Wellford, who is chairman of the Union seminary board of trustees, of its committee on union with Louisville, and of the joint committee with Louisville, said that general approval of the merger proposal had been voted unanimously both by each institution's negotiating committee and the joint committee.

The only factor holding up the negotiations, he said, is the formulation of the legal matters involved by the attorneys. In reply to aquestion, he said the consolidation of the two would give Union seminary a library second to none in the country; and to another, that despite its proximity to the Missouri synod and mid-Western area, the Louisville board itself favors the consolidation. Meet in Norfolk The next meeting, it was decided, will be held Oct. 19. at 10 a.

m. at the Norfolk First church. This meeting will mark the 50th anniversary of the Presbyterys formation; and special section of the meeting will be set apart for a review of the presbytery's history. With one amendment, the body adopted the report of a special subcommittee of the committee on moral and social welfare, in which it was recommended that the State alcoholic beverage control board be requested to adopt regulations prohibiting, or at least further restricting, the a advertising of alcoholic liquors. In the final adoption, a specific reference to a dramatized type of advertising was eliminated on the ground that it would weaken the case.

Also, a motion by Mr. Thompson asking that the Virginia synod be asked to adopt a similar recommendation and present it to the ABC board was adopted. This report was presented by Mr. Keys. The question of liquor advertising had been raised at the last meeting by the Rev.

Charles M. Pratt of the Williamsburg church, formerly associated with the First church pastorate, who then was chairman of the moral-social committee. The present committee includes Mr. Keys, the Revs. T.

W. Buchanan, and W. W. Malcolm (chairman), and Elders Charles H. Reeves and S.

A. MacDonald, and it will present the request to the ABC board. Plans for further development in the Glouces area of a church conference ground and the construction of a new manse for the Grove Memorial and Severn churches were adopted in the approval of a report by the Rev. J. B.

Clower of Virginia Beach on the religious education advance. Mr. Clower's report noted that a year ago the presbytery HEADS PRESBYTERY The Rev. Raleigh M. Engle, pastor of the Hampton Presbyterian church, was elected moderator of the Norfolk presbytery at its summer quarterly session at the First church here yesterday.

the Grove Memorial and Severn offer to utilize their manse for such a purpose, conditioned on home mission payments of $500 a year for eight years and the erection of a new manse. It said the committee now believes the time for proceeding with development has come, and nominated two committees in this connection. They include: Committee Personnel Planning and building -the Rev. Walter W. White, chairman; S.

A. MacDonald, Samuel Sterling, George L. Zuidema, and Mrs. Hill R. Patrick of the local Second church.

Promotion and finance- -N. B. Etheridge, chairman; and the Rev. Harold Shields, William McC. Paxton, chairman of the State port authority; Watson Guy, and Mrs.

Edith Waldrop. Reporting on the defense service council work, Mr. Clower said between $1,300 and $1,400 has been contributed, but that this is only 38.8 per cent of the quota. Out of the 42 churches in the presbytery, he said 24 have contributed and 18 have not; and that of the seven large churches asked for the major portion of the quota, only one has reached its individual goal. N.

B. Etheridge, home missions chairman, in his report urged that donations to the special evangelistic expansion program be paid in as promptly as possible. This work has to do with meeting the spiritual needs of new population drawn here by the war effort, and it was pointed out that the presbytery will receive considerably more from other divisions of the church than it has been asked to contribute. Reporting for the evangelism committee, the Rev. C.

Newman Faulconer said there has been a considerable awakening of spiritual consciousness. He pointed to a recent medical convention at which physicians were urged to give more attention to the spiritual, as well as the physical, needs of their patients as evidence of this. A memorial service was held in the morning for the Rev. J. A.

Mawhinney, formerly holding pastorates in this section, who died several weeks ago. A memorial in his honor or was read by the Rev. Mr. Thompson. Chaplains Warren of the Albany (New York) presbytery and Harriman of the Lima (Ohio) presbytery, attached to locally assigned milltary units, were welcomed as visitors.

ROCK WOOL INSULATION INSTALLED ARE GUARANTEED BENSON-PHILLIPS CO. UP TO 3 YEARS TO PAY Dial 1-1707 Baltimore Steamer Reaches Yard After Engine Accident In Bay Passengers Landed Safely At Norfolk; Off Run 6 Days The Old Bay Line steamer City of Richmond, helpless because of a crippled cylinder, was brought for repairs to the of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company late yesterday after landing her 300, passengers at Norfolk. None travelers appeared to be any the worse for their experience.

As a matter of fact, several said they had the times of their lives when they were assured everything was all right. We put on an entertainment of our own and we really good said Miss Laura Powers, who said she was en route England to join her father who is in the navy. The City of Richmond, which left Norfolk Monday at 6:15 p. for Baltimore had arrived off Wolf Trap, in Chesapeake bay, when her high cylinder head blew out. Wolf Trap is about 45 miles up the bay and it was 11 Monday night when the steamer arrived off that point.

Capt. Boyd Chapman, master of the vessel, after learning that repairs could not be made by his crew, asked the coast guard for assistance, and the former Lighthouse tender Orchid was ordered to take her in tow. The Orchid arrived at the side of the helpless vessel early this morning and towed her into Hampton Roads, where she was delivered to another coast guard craft and several tugs which towed her to Norfolk. Some of passengers had retired before the vessel became disabled, but many of these reappeared in the salon when Captain Chapman informed them that they probably would have to remain at anchor most of the night. When the steamer was docked at her Norfolk pier yesterday afternoon many of the passengers were transferred to the City of Norfolk, sister ship of the disabled vessel, which left last night for Baltimore.

Others decided to make the trip by rail. The City of Norfolk was loaded to capacity when she left her pier. P. S. Oornto, Norfolk agent for the bay line, said the City of Richmond will be off her run about six days.

Meanwhile, there will be only one steamer operating between Norfolk and Baltimore, and the sailings will be reduced to three a week instead of the daily schedule.

Wartime Silhouette Straight, Narrow And Streamlined NEW YORK, July (P)- -America's "duration" silhouette, trimmed to the bone by WPB regulations, emerged today straight, narrow and streamlined, as New York's fall openings continued before the assembled fashion press of the nation. Attended by all the fanfare of prewar Paris, the fall previews stress economy of cut, but provide plenty of innovations. Chief of these are the Russian and Chinese themes which -run like a minor chord through every collection, the emphasis on short glitter gowns for evening wear, and the attention to accessories such as scarfs, headdresses, muffs, gloves and jewelry designed as a part of the costume. Sensation of today's opening was Jo Copeland's seq1 tweed suit for dressy wear, shown with a bow-tie of matching tweed. Other tricks tucked up the Copeland sleeve include saddle-stitching in sequins and Mexican beaded motifs on tweeds.

She shows dressy black wool suits with satin lapels, worn with vivid Roman striped taffeta blouses, likes high lapels, nipped-in waistlines, short jackets and pencilslim skirts. The designer also does tricks with simulated peplums and tunics on one-piece dresses. Anthony Blotta, famous for tailored suits, shows a series of suits with three-quarter length boxy jackets trimmed in leopard and Persian lamb. He endorses high colors in slim, tailored wool dresses, shows many in bright green and purple. Important also in the Blotta collection are black wool suit dresses in which the jacket is sold separately.

Maurice Renter dramatizes the Chinese and Russian influences in both suits and dresses, while FoxBrownie's highlights are her "Babushka" evening dresses, with peasant head-shawls glittering with sequins, and her "alert suits" for hard-working civilians. Last rites for Ernest Malone McDermon will be held at 5 p. m. tomorow at the Peninsula Funeral home, with the Rev. H.

B. Jordan, retired minister, and former pastor of Calvary Baptist church, officiating. Born Feb. 13, 1891, at Augusta, Mr. McDermon came to this city 14 years ago.
