i War And Peace Schools' Theme Social study classes in city schools are taking up not only war but also peace and postwar planning in class rooms. Meeting held by teaching staff. Features of work done and achievements made in the York schools during the past year were reported yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the city teaching staff held in the William Penn Senior High school auditorium. Dr. Arthur W.

Ferguson, superintendent of schools, presided. He commended the educators on their initiative and cooperation, and the work accomplished in all the schools. Mrs. Caroline Morton, chairman of the "Teaching the War" committee, told of the different methods employed by the schools through the social studies by teachers to further this purpose. She brought out that one phase of the work was not only to place emphasis on the war but that consideration must also be given to the peace and post-war planning.

Some school classes have made maps in relief and others have followed the course of the war with flag pins. Current events, newspaper clippings, magazines and various others articles are discussed. Student government in the junior high schools was the part of the school program presented by M. R. Jacobs, -who advises Edgar Fahs Smith government.

He advocated real democratic governments to be conducted by the pupils themselves as much as possible. Conventions should be held at each school and perhaps even inter-school conventions might be a good plan, he said. The progress of the 'York Film Library and its worth in the schools and community were told by Jesse D. Brown, chairman of the library. The Junior Red Cross work by that student organization was reported by Mrs.

Scientific interests of the students at the William Penn Senior High school were the subject of-discussion by Edwin T. Moul.

The local organization was host to the state Academy this year. Other reports were given by, S.

New Road Project Adelegation of citizens from a group planning to finance construction of parts of Fairview and Edgewood roads in the Farquhar estates, headed by Edward Fisher, appeared at the meeting for approval of the print and specifications of the project and were told that their plans met the board's requirements set up more than a year ago. These residents will ask Spring Garden township, when the road building project is complete, to adopt and maintain the roads. In the face of these pressing road construction problems Township Engineer Thomas Monk asked approval of a list of standard specifications for the width and surfacing of township roads. What Commissioner John H.

Thomas called "the desirability of getting specifications flexible," however, led the solons to approve the list "subject to modifications and such needs as may arise from time to time."

Each of the three township companies is now getting a yearly $3,600 allotment. Commissioner Buckner then asked whether fire drivers could be authorized to collect fines and was told by Attorney Ports that fines for violation of the state traffic vehicle code can be paid only to magistrates. President Gordon Campbell inquired whether the firemen had collected any fines and was quickly assured that they had not.

Patton Opposes Easier Rationing "NT vrl. TV in i jn G. Patton, president of the National Farmers said tonight the recent removal of rationing restrictions from many foods was a threat to the entire relief and rehabilitation program of the United Nations. Addressing the New York Uni- versity Institute on postwar re construction, Patton said: "The lifting of rationing" from -jpany foods has created the im-- pression that, in terms of food, the war is practically over; whereas the fact is that, in terms of food as an implement for establishing a just and durable peace, the war is only now beginning." Patton said rationing restrictions had been taken off many foods because of a serious unbalance in live stock and feed and a shortage of storage space and added: "This may prove to be the Umpst serious error made to date. it can become the first step backward toward isolationism and the ultimate loss of World War II."
