Naval Probe Report
LONDON (UP) — An official

government would not make pub-

board into the reason why the I
German battleships Scharnhorst
and Gneisenau and the heavy
cruiser Prinz Eugen were able to
escape to German waters past the
English coast.
He said that the reason for
keeping the findings secret was
that they would be of “very much
interest to the enemy.” He added,
however that investigations had
not revealed serious deficiencies
in foresight, co-operation or or-
ganization by the British.

"Building Citizen Morale’,’ was
the subject of the senior sectional
program of the Junior-Senior
Parent Teachers Association dur-
ing the assembly hour yesterday
at the senior high school.
The program was presented by
the newly organized Student
Council with the president, Biily
d Crawford, as master of ceremon-
Wies.
Crawford introduced the sub-
ject with a stirring appeal that
Americans should awaken to a
realization of the things we are
fighting for and the sacrifices
essential to the winning of that
fight. After his introduction,
Crawford presented Mary Lou
Plunkett, who outlined the part
that the home should play in the
present conflict.
In giving a list of responsibil-
ities that the home must shoulder
Miss Plunkett said, "It is the
responsibility of the parents to
teach the first principles of
democracy and citizenship by
maintaining a small democracy in
the home, where children are pro-
vided with a code of attitudes
and ideals with which to face
life. These attitudes are the
corner stones of our personalities.
The family may be dissolved, but
the attitudes it has established
d will never die.”

er. emphasized the fact that the
public schools of the United
States are American institutions
