She taught them that even though their streets were littered, their homes poor or their families broken, beauty was there if they looked hard enough. She always treasured the note one of her small pupils wrote on her Christmas drawing, "as the Little Lord Jesus loved his Mother, I love you the same way, Miss Dempsey." Today, Miss Dempsey Charlotte A. Dempsey closes the door and walks out the wrought iron gates of The Children's Art Centre, at 36 Rutland South End, for the last time.

She is retiring as director of the Centre with the regrets of the Centre's board of directors the board of United South End Settlements, a Red Feather agency, of which the Centre is a member. A part of her will always remain in the serene courtyard, in which she has seen flowers and shrubs brought from her mother's garden in Hopkin-ton and tree seedlings she purchased herself grow to maturity, just as she has watched her children flower in the realization of beauty.

Associated Press WASHINGTON Today will the longest day in your life. be Every other day since man began recording time has had 86,400 seconds. At 8 p.m. EDT, midnight Greenwich Mean Time, today the world's timekeepers will add an extra second.

The purpose is to correct a discrepancy in time-keeping due to tiny changes in the Earth's rotation. The changes were discovered in 1958 with the development of atomic clocks so accurate it would take years for one of them to gain or lose a second, Conventional clocks measure time based -on the assumption that the Earth takes exactly 24 hours to rotate on its axis. Atomic clocks record time by registering vibrations of atoms making up a molecule of a special gas.

Chicago delegation is unseated and the challengers are permitted to serve, we are prepared to take legal steps to prevent the national Democratic nominee for President from appearing on the ballot in our state." Icelandic Airlines said he did board its flight to Reykjavik. not When newsmen tried to question him, his bodyguards fended them off. The next flight from New York to Iceland is tonight. But Fischer in the past has refused to fly on the Jewish Sabbath, between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday.

FISCHER, Page 37 Associated Press WASHINGTON An angry George McGovern has threatened to withhold support from the Democratic ticket if he loses the presidential nomination because of what he called "shabby back-room dealing." But cooling a little, he expressed confidence today that the full Democratic National Convention would overturn a ruling denying him the nomination. McGovern coupled his initial threat with a stream of accusations directed at the Credentials Committee vote yesterday stripping him, at least temporarily, of more than half the 271 delegates he won in California's primary. McGovern's California loss appears to be even greater 153 instead of 151 based on final figures released yesterday by California's Secretary of State, Edmund G. Brown Jr.

But, strikingback, supporters of McGovern today won a credentials committee vote adding eight McGovern delegates from Illinois. The McGovern forces overrode committee supporters of Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie to realign the national convention delegations from four down-state Illinois congressional districts.
